This morning I woke up earlier than usual. Immediately tidied up his room, then continued to clean another room in his house. It has become a daily routine. But this time something was different. Because Intan woke up early, he could help the mother cook the breakfast menu.
"I'm part of preparing the vegetable seasoning huh?" Intan takes over the plant part.
"Are you cleaning up the house, Tan?"
"Already, dong. Woke up early."
"Well, this one time tumben. I can help you cook."
Intan smiled, then said honestly. "Preparation to be a wife, Mom. Later certainly more often wake up in the morning continue to cook for the husband."
The mother welcomed Intan's intentions. Without a second thought, Intan was immediately poured with spices and cooking ingredients. Every now and then the mother gave direction, and did not forget the wise advice that was useful for Intan when later became Devano's wife.
"Taste, Mom" Clear vegetables made by Intan so, just tasting.
"Wow, this is too salty, Nduk. Are you really getting married, right? Take it easy, it's been proposed the same Nak Dev. Waiting for day H. Sabbarian."
Intan cengar-cengir only, then rushed to add sugar and other flavoring spices into the vegetable clear made.
"It looks like this one already. Try tasting again, Mom."
The mother approached, tasted again, and ... "This just fits."
Of course Intan girang. This kind of morning activity will become his routine. Including also, Intan will start learning to cook Devano's favorite food.
"Yes, Tan. Coming home from school later, mother entrusted this to the home of candidates besan, yes. You know his house, right?"
Intan nodded as he took out a package containing several packs of banana chips.
"This morning I'll take you, ma'am. Go to school."
"When you meet Nak Dev first, huh?" guess the mother.
"No, Ma. Devano left early this morning."
"Kok you know?" The mother deliberately joked, teasing Intan.
"Yes Devano Ngabarin, send a message."
"Ooh. Kirain because you're his future wife."
After breakfast, Intan heads to Devano's house. Intan looks neat with a typical teacher uniform, because after delivering banana chips pinned by the mother, Intan will go directly to school to teach.
Intan who already knew the Devano family, he could guess that currently in the house there was only his mother there. While Devano's father had gone to the market since morning blind peddling merchandise. However, it turns out that Intan's guess was wrong. What Intan met in the house was precisely Yoga.
"Hi, Tan."
"Hi, Bang." Intan followed Devano, calling Yoga Bang. "Is mom home?" tanya Intan later.
"Just left for dad's place. Today I want to have breakfast for my mother. You looking for Devano, what's mother looking for?" Yoga makes a question for the sake of being able to familiarize yourself with Intan.
"Devano left the city this morning, um ... really, Bang?" Intan made sure, worried that there was a change.
"Jay. Devano left early in the morning. If you want to wait for me to come home long, you know. Or just send a message? I'll tell you all to come home."
"You just say this. Custody from mom."
Intan handed me a packet of chips. Yoga is welcome, but something is happening to them. Yoga hand accidentally touched Intan's hand. It looks ordinary, but what makes it unusual is precisely when Intan and Yoga are both staring at each other from a close distance.
"Ma-sorry," said Yoga with a soft and half-steady.
In order to overcome that, Intan smiled kindly. After that he immediately resigned, then rushed forward his motorbike to the school.
Yep. Intan is mediocre. It was completely unaffected by the hand touch scenes and eye gazes that she accidentally experienced with Yoga. What is unusual is precisely Yoga, because in the past he had admired the figure of Intan. It is very natural that Yoga was slightly affected by the unintentional scene that occurred between him and Intan.
"Conscious, Ga. Intan is your sister's future wife. Your feelings are long gone, and nothing more than admiration for Intan's work." Batin Yoga.
Meanwhile, Intan, suddenly he remembered something in the past, when he was in college S1. "Did that Bang Yoga ever go to the same college as me, huh?" Intan Thought. "Ah, let it be. Just ask Devano." And, Intan also chose not to continue the allegations.

It's not just the Intan who starts a new routine. Devano is too. He had just arrived at the rented house that the Big Boss had rented out. Now her new routine is to help Benny manage the branch office for the next month.
"The Big Boss hired one contract, huh?" devano asked Benny.
"Do you not want a contract with me, Dev?" Benny seriously asked.
"No problem actually, anyway. Come on, forget it. I picked this room, right?"
"As far as you go" said Benny, chuckling.
Suddenly, Devano remembered something. His current position was far from Intan, while Devano knew, Benny was on good terms with Dhea. Just in case, Devano warns Benny not to look for him.
"Dhea wouldn't dare show her nose again. Especially in front of me," Benny said honestly. He realized, after the incident of the expression of feelings at that time, Dhea had avoided.
"You guys got into a fight, huh?" Devano.
"It can be said that way. So, Dev. You just focus on helping me. If you miss Intan, just call her here. I don't mind if I have to step aside for a while from this contract. Let the two of you have fun."
Benny said so lightly. Devano who heard that until hissing was annoyed. What is a call woman? That's how Devano thought. After that, Devano chose to go into the room and arrange luggage.
In the same city, in a different place. There are also those who start their new routine even with a half-forced heart, in order to answer the 31-day challenge. It was Sandhi, who this morning was in front of Fani's contract.
"Sandhi? What's the need?" ask Fani while opening the rented fence.
Sandhi did not answer, but was silent to the appearance of Fani who still appeared sexy. Without further ado, Sandhi pulls Fani's arm towards the rented living room.
"Replace your clothes with a more appropriate one. I'll give you time ..." Sandhi looked at the watch that was coiled around his wrist. "Five minutes from now."
Fani gawking. Sandhi's tone of command sounded like he was assigning his students with a completely unnatural time limit. Dressing time is only five minutes? Oh My God, its so crazy. Come directly to play orders only. That's how Fani thought.
"I don't want to. My clothes are well deserved." Fani refused.
"Your father is clear, Fan. Want to work or flirt with Ezza, huh?" Sandhi.
Suddenly, Fani's face was red. Half embarrassed by Sandhi's words that had no filter at all. And, suddenly Fani stepped forward, then covered Sandhi's eyes with both hands.
Sandhi's hand gripped Fani's hand that covered her eyes. With a subtle gesture, Sandhi pulls Fani up until Fani's body is so close to her.
"Do you want me to tease you?" Sandhi dared to look at Fani from such a close distance.
Deg-deg-deg!
The one who is stubborn is not Sandhi, but Fani. Sandhi's attitude was completely unexpected. It was fortunate that Fani was soon able to control herself, then push Sandhi's body.
"Sorrys. My taste is not you!" fani resolute.
Afterwards Fani stepped quickly towards her room. He chose to give up, even though he didn't want to give up. Fani really doesn't want to argue more with Sandhi. To be honest Fani is still self-conscious, also position conscious. Fani still owes Sandhi a lot. Were it not for Sandhi, Fani would not have been able to feel this kind of freedom.
Meanwhile, Sandhi looked frustrated. He rubbed his face violently, feeling as if the 31-day challenge was impossible to win. Just the first day of the approach, what happened was precisely a commotion.
"Sandhi, your words should be even more subtle" Sandhi said softly. Sandhi also cursed himself, why he could not be as friendly as when facing Intan. When with Fani, what often appears is the emotional tone.
Five minutes have passed. Time continued until ten minutes passed. Sandhi patiently waited for Fani on the living room sofa.
"It's done. Try the check first!" Fani's steps stopped right in front of Sandhi. His smile expanded, as if before this there had been no quarrel at all.
Fani's appearance has completely changed. Before this, I used a sexy dress. Now, his body is wrapped in long black cloth pants and a typical office shirt but in a simple version.
"This is proper clothing. Let's go!"
"Eh, wait! Go where?" Fani holds Sandhi's arm, preventing her from stepping.
"To Ezza's office. From now on, I'll take you. Fetched you too. And, if you need to have lunch with you."
Fani reflexively takes off Sandhi's hand, then moves away. He was surprised by Sandhi's intentions.
"I refuse!" fani resolute.
"alright. Just pick it up, no lunch." Sandhi bidding.
"don't want. It must be a shitty day if I have to keep seeing you!"
Sandhi thought for a moment. His attitude this time seemed rushed. Especially this morning there was a scene like that. Fani would be very uncomfortable with that.
"alright. It's up to you. I'm leaving first. Da!"
It's not very clear. That's how Fani thought. After urging to change clothes, asking to meet often, now Sandhi easily left without a ba-bi-bu. Sandhi completely left Fani. The car has even gone far.
"Basic freak!" fani exclaimed, he was upset.
In the car, Sandhi seemed relaxed after deciding to leave Fani in rented. However, Sandhi is determined to find another way so that she can fall in love with Fani.
"This is going to be my new routine. It doesn't matter if Fani keeps resisting. For a long time, he'll definitely be entangled in my charm." Sandhi smiled confidently. He is confident that the 31-day challenge will be met.

Towards the return hour of teaching, Intan gets a call from Mira. Fortunately, at that time his students had all returned home, so he could freely receive a call from his beloved sister.
"Hello, Mir. What's up?"
"Sister, what's Kak Intan's favorite song?"
Intan seemed to think for a moment. A very sudden question. But, why did Mira suddenly call and ask her favorite song? That's how Intan thought. However, Intan chose to answer it alone without much comment.
"Ne-Yo is Miss Independent. If local, like keroncong music with Indonesian pop music. If the oppa-oppa level is handsome, you like the piano instrument played by Suga BTS. Flower dance's. Try the dengerin. Guaranteed you will like it too."
Intan deliberately gave more answers so that Mira did not wonder anymore. Mira's character has been very Intan memorized. The question of the sister will surely follow up until all the info is obtained.
"OKAY. Next question. What's Kak Dev's favorite music?"
"Hm? Devano's favorite music?" Intan was surprised this time. Why also the question of the sister becomes more like data collection. "Mir, is this part of your college assignment?" ask Intan suddenly.
"Not really, anyway. Mira again join me, brother. This is waiting for group friends not to come. Hehe."
"Miraaaa! You're a true-ben .. nar." Intan did not continue his tirade to his sister. Intan immediately aware of the position. This time it was not at home, but at school.
"Eh, Brother. This one is serious, right. There's Mira's documents left behind in Mira's room. That's a requirement for a scholarship. So ... tomorrow Mira wants ..."
"For when?" sela Intan's.
"Still next week, anyway. But, Mira wants ...."
"No need to go home. Let brother deliver this weekend."
Intan did not give any room for Mira to find a reason to go home. Intan is very sure, something has happened with his sister to constantly look for a reason to go home.
"So you don't bother, do you?"
"Not at all."
"Try to remember again, brother. Maybe this weekend there's a schedule for students in the course competition."
"Nothing at all. Anyway big brother will come to your boarding house this weekend."
Mira finally agreed. Failed his plan to go home, also his country that does not have the talent to lie to Intan.
"okay, deh. See you this weekend, brother. Be careful on the road. Don't forget to tell Brother Dev, let him not think."
"Yes, just calm down. Take good care of yourself there. Remember, focus on college."
After agreeing with her sister's message, Mira ends her phone call. Intan, he's thinking about Mira's condition. Intan was sure something had happened to her sister.
"Maybe, I could stop by Devano's place for a bit." Intan's idea, but there's a chance.
What's gonna happen next? About Yoga's admiration for Intan, about Benny who was hired by Devano for one month, also about Sandhi and Fani who actually fought more often? Also, will Intan's visit to Mira's place be alright? Will he meet Sandhi? Looking forward to this story!
