The atmosphere in Arjuna's room was very tense. Especially when two men who are not in a good relationship sit opposite each other. Actually, they would rather not do it at all, but what can I say when Arjuna didn't have a more suitable chair for them? However, they also seem to have no problem doing this. It's like each of them is trying to kill the other in their minds. 
Arjuna let out a long sigh when he knew that the two of them would not give up. It was useless if he tried to break them up or hoped someone would apologize. If he thought about it, he himself wouldn't be able to forgive Leo for what he did to Aini. There were many things he did wrong to the woman who was his cousin. Because of that, seeing Leo being punished was something that felt very interesting. 
“So why did you still come here? Haven't you met Aini?” Leo, who heard Arjuna's voice, glanced at him for a while, was assessing him. Arjuna didn't understand, so he raised an eyebrow to ask what he was doing now. 
“No, no it's nothing,” replied Leo, who was aware of the meaning of Arjuna's look just now. “When it comes to meeting Aini... of course, I didn't meet her.”
Leo's words succeeded in making the two friends exchange glances until finally Dave took over. “What do you mean you didn't meet Aini…?” However, it felt like Leo had instilled a deep hatred for Dave because he didn't let the boy finish his sentence. 
“Well, it can't be helped, right? How can I meet my future wife when she doesn't want to come home? After all, he already had a house, but how could he act as if he didn't have one? In fact, if he wanted, I could buy him a house right now.”
“Aini not come home?” Arjuna pretended to sound surprised and like someone who didn't know anything. Inside, he had been praying that Leo wouldn't suspect anything of his actions. 
“Oh? Even the campus does not know about this problem? I wonder how. Shouldn't you pay more attention to the apprentices? What if Aini ran away because of the inner pressure she felt at the place where she was doing her internship? What… the campus will be in charge?”
This time they both fell silent again. It wasn't that they didn't have anything to say, it was just that what Leo had said had a bit of truth to it. It's only that Aini didn't come home this time because of them, there was no way they could openly say that they were sure Aini would be fine even if she didn't come home. In that dilemma, it was finally Dave who tried to start this aimless conversation. 
“I'm sure it's just going to a friend's house, rather than her parents' house.”
Leo raised an eyebrow, as if he was really curious about whom the friend in question was. “Her name is Lia, right? And if I'm not mistaken… Lia is also very close to Arjuna? Is it really like that? What kind of relationship does a supervisor have with his students?”
“Our relationship has nothing to do with the matter discussed.” Arjuna's tone obviously became a little colder, whereas he also narrowed his eyes at Leo. 
"How could it not be related? Lia is Aini's best friend, but her best friend is close to the supervisor, isn't there something strange about the lecturer? Could he order Lia to spy on him?” This time too, Leo's words were a little true. Arjuna often asked and told Lia to pay attention to Aini, especially when she was busy. “Why are you just silent? Am I right in my guess?”
“I told you, our relationship has absolutely nothing to do with it. Please don't dig any further.” Hearing Arjuna trying so hard to silence Leo made the boy chuckle so loudly that he burst out laughing. Seeing this kind of situation, it felt like Dave was itching to punch him, retaliating for his previous actions. Unfortunately, he remembered Arjuna's words that said he had to be careful. 
It took a moment before Leo regained consciousness from his laughter. He looked around, trying to read the mood before rubbing his eyes and ruffling his hair, cursing under his breath and letting out a long sigh. Even though it was improper, even though he had really hoped to make the mood between them not be as tense as this. However, what can I say? The two of them still didn't like him, so it was only natural that they would continue to monitor him. 
Satisfied with himself, finally Leo looked back at Arjuna, as if the person before him didn't exist at all. The expression on her face showed that she was very curious and couldn't wait to express what was on her mind. Obviously, this made Arjuna feel a little nervous. Her heart raced fast with fear, while her eyes occasionally glanced at Dave for help. 
“Doesn't Aini have one more friend?” The atmosphere remained calm after he was so steamy. This time Leo finally felt frustrated. He ruffled his hair and took another deep breath. “Salsa. Isn't that one of Aini's best friends? But why… is that woman rarely seen beside him?”
Arjuna now remembered the story told by Lia so he widened his eyes. Were Salsa's actions also caused by him? “What are you trying to tell us?" Knowing that Leo would be the only person who had an answer, he deliberately slowed down his words. 
“Say quickly if you would rather not feel my fist!” exclaimed Dave, who was completely impatient with Arjuna. The kid who had been trying to act calm earlier immediately sat up straight and raised his hands in front of him, as if hoping that would stop Dave. 
“No need to use force, right? Why use violence between all of us?” Leo chuckled a little, sadly no one was chuckling with him, so he once again let out a long sigh. “Well, it's also hard to speak with slow-minded people like you. But let me tell you something."
As soon as he finished saying that, Leo fell silent again and looked around. He purposely did this so that the two boys would realize that they were nothing compared to him. He just wanted to say that he had the power and control in that room, not only about Aini's life, even in the game they were playing. 
“Slowly, everyone who was by Aini's side will continue to disappear. In your opinion, what happens to that woman when she loses something precious to her? Slowly, everyone will leave him so that it will only be me and him.”
“Mad boy! He can't be left alone anymore!” exclaimed Dave, who could not bear to hear the words. He glanced at Arjuna as if asking permission, while the man only nodded. However, before a single punch landed on Leo, he had already spoken again. 
“In this world, the only ones who will be happy are Aini and me. The only way for Aini to be happy… is to live with me. After Salsa left, who do you think will leave her, huh? Lia who is his best friend?”
