“Bby, but may I say something first?” Ask Salma.
“Iya can.”
Salma remembered what Nanda had just said earlier, she knew Fiki liked her. Salma thought it might be possible this time that Fiki intended to express feelings for her, but before that she had to say something.
“Thank you because you have helped me a lot, I learned a lot from you, maybe today will not pass this beautiful without the help of brother.”
“Sama-sama I am really happy to help.” Fiki could not cover her happy expression, she smiled hearing what Salma said.
“But there is one thing that bothers me right now, I miss someone.”
“He who has always been in my heart, but lately our feelings are being tested.” Salma.
“Hah?”
“I hope your love story always goes beautifully and you will be happy with your loved ones.” Salma smiled at Fiki.
Although Salma felt it was hard to say something like this after learning that Fiki liked her, but she thought it would be better to say it first than to have to reject it if she expressed her feelings.
“Already, now it's brother's turn. What does sister want to say?” Salma asked as if she knew nothing.
“I?” Fiki had originally intended to take Salma somewhere nice to express his feelings, but hearing Salma's words earlier made him feel this time again he had to back off time or even cancel his plans.
“Once again congratulations to Salma, you are at this point because of your own efforts. Whatever you will face in the future, rest assured you can definitely pass.” Fiki seemed to force his smile.
“Kakak too, whatever the case, you can also definitely pass it.” Reply Salma felt calm because Fiki looked fine.
“…..”
After Salma leaves, Fiki calls Nanda to ask her to meet.

Malik sees Salma's submission sharing his moment that has completed the thesis hearing. Despite just looking, Malik also felt happy, “Alhamdulillah” Mumbled.
Now he keeps trying to forget Salma, but somehow he doesn't know it himself. He still always wants to know the news of Salma even though only from social media. When Salma looked calm and happy she felt that way too.

“Sister Fiki” Nanda comes to Fiki who has been waiting for him in a cafe.
Hearing someone call him, Fiki looked over.
“What's up brother?” Nanda asked as she sat in front of Fiki.
Fiki told him what Salma had told him. He asks if Nanda didn't tell him that because she doesn't know Salma likes other people.
“Actually I know?” Answer Nanda.
“Why didn't you tell me?”
“He once said he would forget it.”
“What?”
“From his expression earlier it seemed he did not want to forget it in the least.” Continue Fiki.
“Yes, he is. I'm also confused.”
Nanda tells Salma that she thinks is trapped in her first love. Previously there were also some people who approached him, but for no apparent reason Salma refused. Nanda says her intention to support her friend's approach with Fiki intends to release Salma from her unending past. But it turns out that this effort changes nothing, everything remains the same, Salma has not been able to forget his feelings for the same person.
“I'm sorry, I thought this time it would work. But it turns out he still can't open his heart to others.” Nanda felt guilty.
“It's okay, I'll wait for him, keep me informed about him do you not mind?”
Nanda looked at Fiki with a look of pity. “You really have to be patient.” His inner.

Salma was eating with her family at home. Mother prepared the dish more than usual because she felt grateful that her daughter had finished her studies.
“Sorry you didn't come.” Further.
Salma just smiled.
“The father of loss did not come, did he not? Brother was given a huge bouquet of flowers by a man whose mother heard he was a doctor who was already working.” Mom looks happy.
“Oh that's Brother Fiki, he's just my level brother, nobody.” Salma was a little bothered by what Mom said.
“He looks good, oh maybe not haha.” Mom seduces Salma.
He laughed and supported what his wife said.
“Although a little less handsome with Malik, but he is quite good. He is also well-behaved and certainly well established.”
“I choose Malik.” Salma flat.
“You will not be full by looking at his handsome face only.” Mom looks pissed.
“How do you choose who?” I look sure Gani will agree with him.
“Malik” Gani replied briefly.
“What?”
“Have no fuss in front of food.” Father mediates.
They continued their food without a word. Mom looks pissed.

Malik contacted Sarah to ask her the usual news, but this time the call could not be connected. After a while he came back to try and the result remains the same the grill is still not able to connect. Sarah's phone is off. Malik also undo his intention “Maybe his phone died” He thought.

Today Nanda comes to Salma's house, before she also often goes home but lately because she is also busy preparing for her script trial which will be scheduled a week after Salma. Nanda came just to see his friend who also often met on campus, naturally Nanda did not like to stay at home.
Nanda recounts her last meeting with Fiki, hearing her friend want to tell Fiki, Salma asks Nanda to lower her voice out of fear that her mother will hear. Salma thinks if her mother finds out Fiki likes her, she will definitely be more urged to forget Malik soon. Salma doesn't want to be like that.
“My mom seems interested in Fiki.” Salma whispered half a whisper.
“Really?”
Nanda said that Fiki still expects it and hopes Salma can give a positive reply.
“Looks like I can't Nan.” Salma looked at Nanda with a look of surrender.
“Why don't you try it.”
Salma says that she actually only feels confident with Malik, she thinks that way because she has known the person she loves for a long time. Salma had not thought of turning to someone she had just met.
“I need time to recognize and try to like someone. Maybe that's also the reason I need a long time to forget.”
“Salma I don't force you, but I want to help you I will help you to open your heart to Fiki, even though you haven't known her for a long time but I already know her enough. I'm sure he's a good man Sal.” Nanda saw Salma.
“I'm sorry for bothering you.” Salma felt guilty.
Nanda shook his head.
“Very different to me who only took two weeks to receive Indra that time.” Nanda smiled cynically.
“Why? Are you feeling unsure.”
“So please, I really like it, but..we haven't seen each other for quite a while.”
“…..”

For three days Sarah could not be reached, Malik began to feel worried. He thought about trying to contact someone else who could give him news about the state of his mother and sister. He scrolled through the list of numbers stored on his phone. After a while of looking around, Malik found Salma's number and stopped his fingers from scrolling through his phone screen.
