Chapter 3 - Problem×Curiousity
*Bzzt Bzzt*
From: Bessy Aiah
Hey? I can't go to school with you today. I'll go first, I have to go early. Sorry Bessy! See you at school! Love yah!
I was making myself busy with my phone while waiting for Aiah when suddenly I received a text message from her saying that?
"Gosh! I've waited for her for about 10 minutes and then she's going to said that? My gosh!" I frustratingly said. I got up and went to school as fast as I can.
After 15 minutes....
I ran to our designated room for our first subject as fast as I can. When I got there, my eyes automatically looked for Aiah.
"Oh you're here Kash? I thought you're not going to school today? You're not with Aiah when she got there. By the way, are you looking for her?" my classmate, Sarah, asked.
"Ah yes, have you seen her? Do you know where she is?" I asked.
"I saw her earlier at the field near the gymnasium." She replied.
"Oh, thank you! I'll just go to her." I said and ran to where she was.
--
"Aiaaaaah!" I called her name. She looked at me and she just smiled and bowed her head.
"Huh? Is she sad? Is there something happened that I didn't know?" I mumbled. I walked slowly until I got to the place where she was. She was sitting under the tree…our favorite spot here in the field.
"Hey? Are you okay?" I asked when the moment I've sat beside her.
"I'm fine." She said.
“She's fine? But why is that she's acting weird today? I know there is something wrong. I can feel it. And she is not also the 'usual Aiah' that I know.” I murmured.
"Are you sure? You know you can tell me anything right? I am also sure that you're aware that I'm always here for you right?" I said to her and I hugged her from the side. After a moment, she started to cry.
"Bessy, is there someone who bullied you? Tell me! We will report it to the guidance office immediately!" I said then she just shook her head.
"None? Then what's your problem?" I can't stand seeing my best friend crying helplessly like this. It makes me feel that I want to cry also.
"Bessy, I’m crying because mom and dad fought again last night," she said.
"They are always like that right? It will be fine after some moment. You don't need to worry about them, okay?" I said. I caressed her back to calm her down.
"No bessy, last night was the worst fight that I've witnessed. My dad walked away last night and until now he's not yet home. Bessy, what should I do? I don't want to have a broken family." She said and started to cry harder again. Her mom and dad are always like that. They fought and later on they’ll be fine seems that nothing happened.
"Maybe he was just letting things to cool down? Or maybe he's already at work that's why he's not home yet. Don't worry too much, okay? He will be back and always remember that your dad loves you so much, okay?" I comforted her.

From: Sarah
Hey Kash? Where are you now? By the way, we don’t have teacher for our second subject said by our President. I just want to inform you That’s all bye.
I sighed. Thanks God our teachers were not around. We were not marked absent to their classes. I sent a reply to Sarah, “Okay Sarah, Thanks for the info!”
"Bessy? Are you okay now?" I asked Aiah. I saw her wiping her tears already using the back of her hand that's why I offered my handkerchief to her and she grabbed it to wipe her tears.
"Ahm…yeah thanks, bessy!" She replied trying to make her voice happy.
"Don't pretend that you're happy even if you're not. Do you want ice cream? My treat!" I invited her. Since we don't have classes for our 2 subjects, it is better to spend it together with her and make her happy. I can't afford it to look at her at this state.
"Sure!" She replied with a smile. We went to cafeteria and bought an ice cream.

We were currently sitting in the bench near the field while Aiah was reading something in her phone.
"Bessy, do you know what RP world is?" I asked her.
"RP world? It seems familiar. Why?" She replied back.
"I've read a confession about that last night. I'm just curious about it." I said.
"Confession? What kind of confession is it?" She asked.
"Hm, it’s a confession of a girl about having a boyfriend because of RP world." I said.
"Oh really? She must be lucky then." She replied.
"She's lucky? And why is that?" I curiously asked.
"It’s because I've heard that there's just ahm maybe only 20% of guy role players who take a virtual relationship seriously. Most of them are going to make you fall for them then leave you afterwards. Well, it’s only based on the random confessions or role players that I've read." She explained.
"It’s that so?" I said.
"Well, it is according to them. Wait why asking all of a sudden?" She replied.
"Ahm nothing. I'm just curious." I replied.
Only 20% of BRP', Boy Role Player, are taking virtual relationships seriously? How about the 80%? Busy playing girls feelings? Tsk.
"Ahm bessy?" I called Aiah.
"Yes?" She replied without looking back at me. Aww, should I be jealous with her phone? Haha I’m just kidding.
"Let's enter their world?" I said.
"World? You mean RP world?" She said with her eyes looking straight at me.
"Ahm yes. I want to try it. Let's try it bessy, pleaseeee?" I said.
"Are you sure?" She asked and I nodded.
"Okay fine but who will be we're going to portray?" She asked.
"Ahm, I want to portray Badaf, bessy." I grinned.
"Badaf?! As in France Zion Madrigal?!" She asked with a loud tone while standing. Hmm, is there something wrong about it?
"Ahm…yes, bessy" I answered her while nodding.
"So, you're going to be CRP, Cross Role Player." She asked.
"Ahm…yeah." I answered.
"Tsk. Okay, fine. When we will make an account?" She asked calmly.
"Let's make it later." I said.
"Okay." She said then looked back to her phone again.
Haist, since Aiah was busy I just got my phone from my bag and logged in to my Facebook account. I was busy scrolling my newsfeed when there's a confession that caught my attention. It was about RP's experience in the RP World. Haist, it made me more curious and wanted to join that group. I logged out my Facebook account and started creating my RP account.
