After Ethan's arrival, Winner this time deliberately came to Sarayu where he was treated for several days. With the two days given by Ethan, Winner wants to spend time with Sarayu. Winner wanted to say goodbye properly to Sarayu so that later if Winner could no longer meet Sarayu, Winner would not regret it as before.
“Who??” Sarayu asked from behind the door of her room.
“It's me, Winner. Can I come in??” ask Winner politely.
“Sure, come in.”
Winner opened the door, walked in and then sat down beside Sarayu's bed. Winner looked at Sarayu with a deep look and said with a smile on her lips. “It looks like your situation is fine, Sarayu. I really didn't expect if your body was that strong.”
“My body has been strong for a long time. At home, I was the only child who could stand it. I had a motorcycle accident twice with one of them causing my hand to break. Then when everyone was in the hospital, I was the only one who was always fine and ended up taking care of everyone in the hospital. Since the beginning. . . My body is already strong.” Sarayu smiled in praise of herself while recalling some of her past memories.
“Ya. . . yes. . . yes, you are indeed strong, Sarayu. I'm wrong for thinking you're like most other women.”
Sarayu laughed at Winner's words. “Why are you here, Winner? I heard you didn't want to go back until Sixth and Mr. Dylan ran out of sense to talk you back.”
“Hehe.” Winner chuckled at the question from Sarayu. “I-that's because I want to see and make sure you're in first. I can't go back before making sure you're okay, Sarayu. You are like this. . because it escorts me and protects me.”
“It's my job. This job. . . does have a high risk but the pay given is also quite fantastic.” Sarayu smiled in response to Winner's words. Sarayu looked at the apple fig on the table near her bed. “You want an apple? If I don't remember wrong. . . Your fans used to say that you like apples. I remember even the girls on campus always bringing you apples.”
Winner looked towards the red apple beside Sarayu's bed and recalled the reason behind the many girls on her campus who liked to give her an apple with the aim of attracting her attention.
A few years ago.
“Winner. . . What fruit do you like??” One of the girls chasing after him suddenly asked Winner that.
Winner was reluctant to answer the question at first. But.. .since the question was asked in front of many other girls who idolized her, Winner had to give an answer to that question in order for the girls to stop asking again.
Was. . . Winner wanted to answer with the answer that had occurred to her mind just like that. But Winner's eyes were then fixed on the red apple that was in the grasp of Sarayu who had attracted his attention all this time. Winner kept staring at Sarayu who was standing looking at the campus mading by biting the red apple in her mouth. Without realizing it. . . Winner opened her mouth and said red apple.
Winner's words heard by the girls who swarmed her were then considered to be the answer to a question asked by one of them. And from then on. .all the girls who idolized Winner would always carry a red apple to give to Winner as a form of their attention to Winner.
Who would have thought a small incident at that time then continue to follow Winner until he was famous until now.
Instead of taking the red apple, Winner took the orange next to the red apple and the action made Sarayu furrow her brows in astonishment.
“Why take an orange instead of an apple? Don't you like apples, Winner?
Winner peels the orange peel, takes one and then puts it in her mouth. After chewing the orange in his mouth, Winner opened his mouth to answer Sarayu's question. “I don't really like apples. What I really like is this orange and it just so happens that this orange is very sweet.”
Sarayu's furrow deepened due to Winner's reply. “Then if you like oranges, how can you tell your fans that you like apples?”
“It's a misunderstanding. In the past. . . there was a girl who was eating a red apple on campus while looking at the campus mading. I was fascinated by it and accidentally said the word ‘apel red’ in front of the girls who swarmed me. Who would have thought that the words that came out of my mouth from being fascinated to a girl, were considered an answer by those girls??” Winner took three oranges at once and put them in her mouth simultaneously. “Only you and my manager know about this, Sarayu.”
“Wait a minute. . so it's just a misunderstanding??”
“Ya.” Winner nodded her head again as she swallowed another orange.
Winner threw her face away because she didn't want Sarayu to look at her and look her in the eye. “You won't know him, Sarayu. She's just an ordinary girl who doesn't idolize me. I doubt he even knew I liked him in college.”
“Heeeeeeeh. You like an ordinary girl on campus and again that girl is not one of the girls chasing you??” Sarayu repeated Winner's sentence with a face of disbelief. “I was really surprised to hear it.”
“Why?? I can't like an ordinary girl who doesn't idolize me??” reply Winner.
Sarayu shook her head. “No, I don't forbid it. I was just surprised to hear it. A Winner who is known to be handsome, idolized by many girls on campus, turns out to like an ordinary college girl who does not even idolize him.”
“Now. . . I want to ask you, Sarayu? Can I?”?
Sarayu nodded her head. “Sure, what do you want to ask?”
“Because you are not my fan nor are any of the girls who swarm over me like ants swarming with sugar, why do you think that ordinary girl doesn't like me?”
Sarayu's eyes widened and almost fell out of place, shocked to hear the question posed to her.
“Why is that your gaze, Sarayu?? Are you surprised?” Winner who noticed Sarayu's gaze asked a question to make sure that Sarayu was indeed really surprised when she heard it.
“Of course, I was surprised. You are Winner, a famous actor of the International class from Indonesia. You were also chosen as the ambassador of a neutral group of countries and it was an incredible achievement in the midst of a great war on the other side of the earth. A famous Winner asked me why the ordinary girl he once liked didn't like him??” reply Sarayu. Something in Sarayu's mind then realized something. This was something Winner had never said even in her interview exclusively. Sarayu's friends who idolize Winner always say that Winne hides her love story even for her first love. Every time the interview, Winner always avoids questions about her love story and romance. And now. . . Winner opened her mouth and asked Sarayu about her opinion as an ordinary girl.
“Why silent?” ask Winner again.
“You sure you asked me that, Winner?”
“Ya.” Winner nodded her head confidently. “I need your opinion on that. Assume it is you. If during college I asked you to be my lover, would you accept it?”
“No.”
If Sarayu was shocked earlier, this time Winner was surprised until her eyes almost fell. “Why is it so fast that you refuse??”
“Didn't you ask me?”
Huft. Winner breathed. “You're rejecting it. Then tell me the reason why you rejected me and didn't consider me even after so many girls were chasing me?”
“Because you asked for my opinion, then maybe the girl you like doesn't realize you feel for her because she has feelings for others. That's what's on my mind.”
“Ah. . maybe it's true.” Winner lowered her head with a sad face. So. . Maybe you still like that boy named Redo right?, Winner thought with a sad feeling.
“Don't tell me. . . You still like that girl until now, Winner??”
Winner, who had thrown her face to hide the feeling and expression on her face, turned to Sarayu with a surprised face.
“You. . . really still like it, Winner! Tell me who's that girl??”
