HEY JUN

17

Lia repeatedly let out a long breath. His gaze was bright while his hands were busy stirring the avocado juice that had accompanied him for two hours. Dizzy, Lia's head felt dizzy once thinking about what answer he would give to Mr. Zaini tomorrow.

Since last night Lia chose to stay at Andika's house, go to school together and go home together as well. This day Lia stuck to Andika with the aim to reduce interaction with Mr. Zaini.

Lia could not cover up her anxiety. He immediately misbehaved when he was in one place with Mr. Zaini. Fortunately, Andika was quick to respond. He can be a fortress for Lia so that Mr. Zaini does not have the slightest chance to talk to Lia.

When lunch arrived, Noval returned to Scholar High School to deliver lunch rations for the end-of-school examination committee. Lia who happened to see Noval who had just got down from the car, immediately paused her intention to gather in the hall. He immediately called Andika, taking her home soon.

Well Andika, he wanted to obey the request of his sister. Escape from Scholar High School at lunchtime. Andika offers to take Lia home. However, the girl still did not seem to want to go home. Lia chose to accompany Andika to her cafe. Although at risk he will sit alone during Andika's work.

"Haniiii.it's been two hours and the avocado juice is still stirring!" reprimand Dika.

Lia stopped her activities. He then sucked the avocado juice lazily.

"Stop, Hani!!! Lu why the hell? My astonishment! All new years see virgin girl galau kayak gini. Make me crumble" grumbled Dika started his nagging.

"Gue was confused, Dika. I have to give you the answer tomorrow. I-i...." Lia did not continue her words. It made Andika even more anxious.

"What the hell is confusing you? If you don't want to, say no. The myth of rejecting the first proposal is not good, you're not a fool to believe it."

"But what happens later, Dika? I'll be an old virgin."

Andika let out a long breath. He did not end up thinking with Lia's fear which he thought did not need to be exaggerated. Lia who was big in the metropolis, should not believe in such a myth. It is logically unreasonable although it may happen by chance.

"Actually you are confused because there is a sense of ama Juna?" guess Andika.

Lia nodded.

"But even though I have a feeling with Mr. Juna, my heart is also heavy to establish a relationship with him. While Noval, knew also yesterday had been playing bed. I don't know how she is yet" Lia said as she lowered her head in lethargy.

"If I were told to choose between Juna and Noval. I'd rather agree you're with Noval."

"Reason?" ask Lia.

"Because he is more independent and responsible than Juna. Although Noval and Juna are both youngest children, Noval has been independent since college. While Juna still depends on his mother. Just try you think, to support himself Juna is not able, how can he support you and your children later?."

"Was salary in Scholar High School not enough?" ask Lia.

"Geez, Hani!!! If the salary there is enough, why do I also defend opening a cafe? We're there paid three thousand an hour. Remember, three thousand per hour. You stay the same time your teaching hours every week, then four."

Lia frowned. He then took his phone, opened a calculator app and calculated how much he would receive in a month. Lia immediately gaped when she saw a row of numbers that did not match her expectations.

"Seriously, Dika? This is what I'm going to accept?" Lia's giving her phone.

"Yes, even Juna's honor is only half of it."

"WHAT???!!!! Damn you, Dika. This is not a job but a job. Make enough gasoline money especially to buy my powder" shouted Lia while stroking the chest.

"Don't worry! Later let me buy you powder with the same skincare."

Deg.

Lia and Andika immediately turned their heads at the same time. The two were petrified when they saw Noval standing before them. They did not expect that the person they were talking about was now standing before them.

Silent. Neither Lia nor Noval could speak. They only glanced at each other with their eyes tails. Give each other a code to start the current conversation.

"Hey... Why silence?" ask Noval.

"Just be surprised! Why can it be here. Coincidentally passing by or do you want to come here?" ask Andika.

"Oh. I was here on purpose. I'm going to see Lia."

Lia held onto Andika's right arm, giving a code so that Dika would not leave Lia alone with Noval.

"Please! I happen to have a job. By the way, what are you doing?" asked Andika politely and Lia immediately stepped on Andika's foot for ignoring the code.

"Ah don't bother, Dika."

"Make a brother-in-law, no word bother."

Andika immediately ran away before Lia threw her with the glass of juice she had been holding since. It is not impossible if Lia will make Andika's forehead bangjol because of her words just now.

Lia sat down again without letting Noval. The savvy Noval immediately pulled the seat in front of Lia and sat down on it.

"You don't like me?" tanya Noval opened the conversation.

"I'm sorry if my proposal is sudden and surprises you. It's all because my time here is just a minute."

"I really hope you will accept my proposal" Noval said.

"Why?"

"Because I'm a match for you" Noval replied.

"Sorry, Mr. Noval. You only knew me yesterday. That fast you said it was suitable? What if I don't live up to your expectations? You will be disappointed and the ends must be parting" Lia said with a burning emotion.

"I don't have any expectations about you, Lia. My heart is suitable, neither you nor I should accept. I'm not looking for the perfect partner because I'm not perfect either."

"Even though I don't love you?" ask Lia.

"Not yet to love me, rather. Love will come because it is used to it. You just need to open your heart to me and I just need a lot of patience to melt your heart" Noval said, making Lia's heart melt a little when she heard it.

"I'm not a high school boy any more. My age is ripe. It's not time to date. That would waste my time. My heart fits you. I will accept your good and bad. So, please don't doubt me."

Both of Lia's hands gripped the legs of the chair tightly. It felt like Lia wanted to faint to hear Noval's words. Maybe this is what we call love? However, seeing the sincerity in both of Noval's eyes made Lia dismiss her negative conjecture.

Slowly Lia was moved to accept Noval. Although he was still misgivings, he was not completely sure of his feelings.

"Do we need to make a pre-wedding agreement?" tanya Noval breaks Lia's daydream.

"Previous covenant? what's for?."

"To convince you. At least if we make a pre-wedding agreement, what's your fear can be overcome. Write whatever you want, I have to how and what kind of household you want to build with me. I don't care even if you write a thousand terms."

"Really?" ask Lia.

"of course. Whatever you ask, I will try to grant it. But I only have one request."

"What's that?."

"My love for me though is not as great as my love for you."

"Father.." call Lia when she gets home.

After a conversation with Noval at Andika's cafe, Lia has got an answer to Noval's proposal. Lia was already considering carefully. He had also asked Andika for her opinion on the decision and Andika fully supported the decision that Lia took.

"Mr here. Is it over with the meeting?" ask Mr. Anton tease his son who just came home.

"Ah, Father. New also come directly dyedja" grumbled Lia.

"Yes... You want to enjoy the last days of teasing the daughter of the father who is soon to be the wife of people" said Mr. Anton casually.

"Don't you know what Lia's answer is? Why is that sure, sir?."

"You are a son, Father. I've been hatched with your character. You can not make us disappointed" said Mr. Anton made Lia immediately hug his father.

"Mr Zaini's calling right now?" ask Mr. Anton.

Lia nodded.

Mr. Anton immediately took his phone, contacted Mr. Zaini who had been waiting for news since this morning. Mr. Anton and Mr. Zaini are in serious talks. Sometimes Mr. Anton laughs and returns to serious mode.

Lia who still hugged her Father, only became a loyal listener without the slightest bit involved in the conversation of her parents. Thirty minutes later, Mr. Anton stopped his phone. He put his phone on the table.

"What did Mr. Zaini say, sir?" ask Lia curious.

"He was very pleased with your answer and...."

"And what, sir?."

"Your wedding is ten days away."

"WHATAAAA?????!!!!!!."

Brukkkk

Lia fainted at once hearing her father's words. Mr. Anton not panicked, he just passed away thinking it was common.
