After Alvin and Anto said that, Julian said,
"Okay, I'll think about it again," Julian said, leaning against the wall.
"But don't think about it too long, Julian. So you don't hurt Anindya," Wiro said.
"Okay, I'll think about it quickly. Thank you for your suggestions, guys!" Julian answered while smiling at his friends
Hearing Julian's words, his other friends were also happy. After that everyone returned to their respective activities. Julian looked again at the chat from Anindya, the chat contained:
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the place where you confessed your love yesterday, okay~" Anindya said happily in the chat.
Julian smiled at the message. Wiro, who was playing a game, glanced sharply at the smiling Julian.
Meanwhile on Anindya's side.
After sending Julian's message, Anindya happily exited the restroom stall. She walked to the mirror attached to the sink wall, staring at her reflection with sparkling eyes.
Her tiny hands smoothed her slightly messy hair. She took lip balm from her uniform pocket, smeared some on her lips, took a deep breath, and smiled, muttering.
"Ehe, today... is definitely going to be wonderful!" she muttered softly, smiling to herself.
Anindya straightened her uniform and walked lightly out of the restroom. Her heart felt like it was floating. She walked to her classroom. As she arrived and sat down, Anindya's three bestfriend glanced at her and smiled mischievously at her.
At 9:30.
Lessons were over, the first break had arrived, and all the students were leaving the classroom. Anindya was getting ready to meet Julian. Her three friends approached Anindya's desk and said
"Wahh, looks like someone's having a good time~" Delima said with a small smile.
"Hehe, like Julian wants to ask Ninin out on a date at school" Wulan said with a giggle.
"Hahaha, yeah" Anindya replied with a shy smile.
"Thank goodness Julian isn't ignoring or avoiding you," said Desy.
"Yes, thank goodness" said Anindya with a relieved tone.
"Then go and meet him. We won't bother you" said Desy softly.
"Okay, thank you guys!" replied Anindya with a happy smile.
Anindya got up from her seat, she left the class with a happy feeling while waving her right hand towards her three friends and her friends returned the wave.
When she arrived at the park, Anindya didn't see Julian at all.
"Maybe I was too excited, so he hasn't arrived yet?" Anindya asked with a confused expression.
"Maa~, I'll just wait" Anindya continued.
While waiting for Anindya to sit on the park bench, occasionally a few students would come to the park to hang out. They would occasionally steal glances at Anindya. Anindya noticed this but ignored it.
Anindya had been waiting for 20 minutes, but Julian still hadn't arrived. Anindya chatted with Julian.
"Where are you, Julian? I'm already in the park" Anindya said in the chat.
Meanwhile, at 9:50. on Julian's side,
Julian was ready to leave the classroom after having just finished his physics assignment. He was suddenly called by the teacher physics to help the class leader carry the physics practical assignment to the lab. Only the female students remained in the classroom, while the other males had already left.
Julian had no choice but to help the class leader move the physics assignment to the lab. He hurriedly went to help the class leader, but unfortunately, he left his phone in his bag.
On Anindya's side, the clock read 10:03.
"Huu Huu, where's are you, Julian T-T?" Anindya muttered sadly.
Shortly, a chat notification came in. Anindya was happy and quickly turned on her phone, but it turned out to be Wulan who sent the message.
"Cih!, I thought Julian" Anindya said in a disappointed tone.
Rather than being bored, Anindya opened the chat from Wulan. It turned out Wulan had sent a photo. Anindya downloaded it and, to her surprise, it showed Julian buying snacks with a girl in the cafeteria.
Anindya felt her chest tighten when she saw the photo. Her fingers trembled as she held her phone, her eyes staring in disbelief at the image of Julian smiling broadly at a woman with long, blue hair she didn't recognize.
"But... he said he wanted to meet me..." Anindya muttered, her voice barely audible.
A new message from Wulan appeared shortly after the photo.
"Ninin... are you sure Julian really went to the park? I saw him with that girl in the cafeteria earlier. They seemed really close" Wulan said in the chat.
Seeing this, Anindya became depressed.
Now the two incident are combined. It's 10:03 AM.
"Thanks for your help, Julian!" Class leader said with a smile and a wave.
"You're welcome, Leader. Thanks for the treat too" Julian said with a smile and a wave.
After the class leader left, Julian hurried to the park, carrying a plastic bag filled with snacks. When he arrived, Julian looked for Anindya. He found her in a terrible state, her gaze blank and tears streaming down her face.
Julian approached Anindya and called out to her.
"ANINDYA!" Julian shouted as he ran towards her.
Unfortunately, Anindya was still depressed. As he sat next to her, he took his handkerchief from his pocket and began wiping away her tears.
As he wiped away Anindya's tears, Julian was surprised when she suddenly grabbed his hand and said,
"W-who... Who..." Anindya muttered in a depressed tone.
"Who?" Julian asked with a confused expression.
Anindya quickly lifted her face. Her previously blank gaze had now turned angry as she fought back tears. Her grip on Julian's hand tightened, and her voice began to rise.
"WHO IS THAT GIRL, JULIAN?!" Anindya suddenly snapped, startling Julian.
