"It could be, the figure of a girl who looks very strong on the outside, is the most vulnerable in it."

"JUN, eat first," said Ajrina while bringing dinner for Arjuna.
"Just do it, Sis," said Arjuna as he continued to play with his cellphone.
Ajrina had been watching her sister's behavior since this afternoon. Always playing with the cell phone with an anxious face.
"What's wrong, Jun?" asked Ajrina in the end.
"Can you call Starla, can you?" Arjuna turned his head with a worried face, "So why didn't he pick up, huh? His cellphone isn't active."
"Previously, Starla was like this?" asked Ajrina.
"No," Arjuna shook his head, "this is the first time that Starla can't be contacted."
"Sleeping time, Jun. Tired of him all day here."
Arjuna is silent, the guy is still trying to contact Starla. Hundreds of messages and calls from Arjuna have been missed by Starla.
"Already, Starla is a strong girl. She must be fine. Just think about your recovery now," said Ajrina.
"I can't calm down until I know the situation," said Arjuna.
"Alright, try calling Dewa. Last time, Starla went home with Dewa."
Arjuna nodded, then tried to dial Dewa's number. Still no answer. From this Arjuna knew that something was wrong.
"Tam," said Arjuna when he switched his phone to Tama.
"Why, Jun?"
"Please find out the state of Dewa, he can't be reached."
"Elah, what are you doing? Dewa is sleeping at home the most," said Tama.
"Her cellphone can't be called, Tam. Last she was with Starla, and Starla couldn't be contacted either. I'm afraid this has something to do with the eagle," said Arjuna in a slightly panicked tone. It wasn't just God that she was worried about, but someone who was with the boy.
Yes, Starla, Arjuna's favorite girl.
In the cold night plus the pitch black atmosphere, he became a silent witness. Two people who met without knowing the word peace, are now barely apart.
"Don't leave me ..." Starla raved again. Now the girl's tone sounded very sad.
"Starla ...." called Dewa trying to wake the girl.
"I love you ... don't go ..."
The god's forehead frowned. Who wants to leave Starla? What is Arjuna?
"Don't go. I beg you. I love you," whether true or not, but Dewa felt that this girl was crying in her sleep.
"Starla ..." called Dewa once again. Gods have never been this gentle, especially towards women. This is the first time, and only to Starla.
"I don't want to be left behind," Stala chanted again.
I don't know who Starla means. "Yes, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere."
Whatever God does tonight, he will forget about it tomorrow. For Arjuna, Dewa will apologize for being presumptuous. Because what he is doing now, is far from his role which should only be 'guarding'.
