Nayana has just broken up with her childhood friend Garvi because Garvi cheated on her. He also experienced an upsetting heartbreak. 
When Garvi moved house and was no longer her neighbor, Nareswara returned to Jakarta. Nareswara's presence annoyed Nayana because she didn't like her neighbor even though they had been friends since they were babies. After all, Nareswara's behavior was often naughty towards her. Nayana's dislike is inversely proportional to her mother and two siblings who like Nareswara and warmly welcome Nareswara. 

Even though she doesn't like Nareswara, Nayana also misses Nareswara, but she hides her feelings because of her pride. Even at school, Nareswara and Nayana couldn't be far from each other because they were in the same class and the same archery club. Slowly, Nayana begins to like Nareswara, especially when Nayana finds out the reason for Nareswara's cruel nature towards her all this time. That's because Nareswara was jealous of Garvi who took Nayana's attention when they were little. So, Nareswara wants to win back Nayana's attention by behaving mischievously. 

Nareswara is a support system for Nayana in achieving all of Nayana's changing dreams. Nareswara was so sincere towards Nayana, making Nayana slowly develop a feeling of love in her heart for Nareswara, even though Nareswara had had that feeling of love for a long time. However, Nayana didn't want what happened between her and Garvi to happen again, so she denied it all. Until Nayana turned twenty years old, Nayana could no longer avoid it, she accepted Nareswara's love and they decided to become lovers.

Mr. Lipstick

We knocked on the door and a voice commanded us to come in. We entered the classroom with uniforms that were wet with water that came from inside our bodies and then expanded. All eyes looked at the two of us and feeling embarrassed, I stepped towards the teacher's desk. I was very embarrassed because I was an athlete but had no discipline. We kissed ma'am's hand—I looked up again and saw the name written on her left chest– Surami. I'm sure he is from Central Java or East Java. 


"Sorry I'm late, ma'am," I said apologizing for being late. 


"There, sit down and don't repeat it," Mrs. Surami actually comes from Tegal, Central Java because of her thick Tegal accent. 


We walked to our respective seats. Nareswara sat in the front, while I sat in the back, next to Darin. Indeed, when we first entered, we were neighbors on the bench, then the child sitting on the bench came in, I had to move to the back and was very grateful for that.
