Five minutes!
It should only take five minutes to get to the ground floor, but standing near the number one man was not easy for Fazila, everyone they met shaking hands, greeting or saluting Refal, it took them at least fifteen minutes to stand in the front yard of the Hotel without anyone bothering them.
"Thank you because Miss Fazila understands the code I gave you. I mean, ask for time so that this matchmaking doesn't need to be a debate." Refal began to open his voice between the silence of the air, without taking his eyes off Fazila's bowing face.
Hhmmm!
The sound of Fazila's rough breathing made Refal frown. Refal couldn't even interpret the thin smile on Fazila's pretty face.
"Sir Governor! I'm a Lecturer. I know when my students are honest and when they lie. I can also guess if they are happy or saturated when I stand in front of the class to teach new knowledge. I'm experienced enough for something that simple.
And tonight, you? I can guess the way you look at me. That look seemed to say, I don't want to get involved with any of this. Am I right?" This time Fazila ventured to look at Refal's handsome face.
There was no answer from Refal other than to show his confused face.
"I'm not a weak character from a novel that will give itself in the blackmail. For me, love is the most beautiful gift from God, and I want to enjoy that love fully after marriage.
I won't give myself a chance to get hurt. Nor will I give anyone the right to hurt me. I don't want our marriage to be on paper, then I'll suffer alone. So I decided to ask our parents for time." Fazila explained.
Refal, who was standing in front of Fazila, thought that he did not know what to say in front of a girl as smart as Fazila. Making excuses will be useless and Rehal knows it.
"I ask for time not for the Governor, but for myself. I wouldn't be involved in this relationship if Mr. Governor would just torture my feelings afterwards.
If I look at the way Mr. Governor is silent without any objection, I'm sure there's still pent-up love for another girl. And I don't want to compete with anyone, nor do I want to give you a choice because I'm not an option." Celoteh Fazila. There was no choice for Fazila but to clarify everything before there was a bond between her and Rebal. What's the point of putting himself in trouble if he knows he's happier when alone.
Whahhh!
Uhuk.uk.Uhuk.
Refal and Fazila, they stared at the source of the sound. Not far from where they were standing was Bima, Assistant Refal who was coughing from choking on the cake she was eating.
"Are you okay?" Fazila asked as she looked at Assistant Refal, a second later she turned her gaze towards the cake strewn on the floor.
"He's fine. Don't mind him. He's just surprised to see us here." Refal spoke up because that was the truth.
"Ja-so the girl who will be betrothed to the Governor is Miss Lecturer?" Bima asked while looking at Refal's face with a look that showed her surprise.
"Yes, he's the one." Reply to Refal with a raucous voice.
Fazila who stood in front of the two beautiful men looked astonished, he felt as if he was being ignored.
"Waw Sir... You get blessings from the Power. If you want me to be able to work overtime to finish everything, I mean all the work that is still pending so that the marriage of Mr and Miss Lecturer does not experience any interference."
"Mom, shut up!" This time Refal glared at his Assistant, he was so annoyed that he wanted to smash Bima's handsome face.
Refal took a deep breath then threw it rough from his lips, he looked at Fazila with a look of regret. Hearing her Assistant's words further irritated her.
A wedding?
For Refal, that one word was still too far away for him to be able to materialize. Due to the ridiculous manner of his assistant, Refal instead acted foolishly in front of Fazila. Arguing with his Assistant in front of the beautiful girl was a great disgrace to him.
"I'm sorry Miss Fazila! I understand your point. I'll think of a solution to this problem so we don't get hurt." Refal said without removing the gaze from Fazila's beautiful face. The thin lips showed off a forced smile.
"alright. I have to go. Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam Warahmatullah." Reply Refal and Bima together.
They looked at Fazila who had gone off using her death. For a second, Refal did not wink until Fazila was no longer seen by her beautiful netra.
"Miss Lecturer's an amazing girl." Tanjung Bima while imagining the beautiful face and charming smile of Fazila.
"Why are you saying that?" Refal who heard the sincere words of his Assistant immediately turned his head and looked at Bima with a sharp gaze.
"Who would have thought that Miss Fazila's beautiful girl came from an amazing family, everywhere using only an old scooter. If I were the Father, I wouldn't turn down this opportunity. The opportunity to achieve happiness and obtain the Angel of Heaven." Bima chirp regardless of the face of Refal who began to turn annoyed.
Seconds later.
Platyakk!
One hard flick landed right on the Bima eel. Between resentment and jealousy, Rebal could not tell the two feelings apart.
"Are you not sane? Why are you touching Miss Fazila in front of me and without my permission? Do you want to be gone before the time! Basic suck." Umpat Refal while leaving Bima who is still standing sculpting.
I know you, sir. Why don't you tell me you're starting to respect Miss Lecturer and want to be close to her. Hopefully the nightmare about Miss Hilya will soon disappear from your life and be replaced by the happy double caused by the presence of Miss Fazila. Inner Bima while running after Refal who had first entered the car.

Time shows at 3:00. I don't know why Matthew hasn't closed his eyes. The more he tried to sleep, the more Fazila's shadow slipped into the recesses of his soul. He was happy for no reason and he began to miss Fazila. Even the beautiful shadow of the girl seemed to be dancing in her eyes.
"What's this about? Why does that angry lady keep bothering me? Ever since he saw her at the restaurant back then, he's been stealing my every night. For the first time in my life there was a woman who dared to bother me." Matthew said as he got out of bed. His left hand grabbed the cigarette that was placed on the nightstand, lit it and then sucked it slowly.
Whuhhh!
Smoke sourced from a cigarette that was lit Matthew managed to brush off a little bit of his longing, whether since when the cigarette managed to calm the anxiety of a Matthew Adyamarta.
