How Matcha Love You's

It was very interesting that Malik contacted Salma, not only to ask about the situation of his mother and sister but also wanted to know the news of Salma people he could not forget. But he realized his desire not to return gave Salma hope. Malik chooses to contact Raka.

Malik asks Raka to check on his mother and sister. After a while, Raka called Malik and handed his phone to Bu Siti.

“Halo Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Wa’alaikumussalam Nak.” Sahut Bu Siti in the phone call.

Ms. Siti told me the reason for not being contacted. Sarah's cell phone was damaged by falling off her bike when she came home from school.

Fiki keeps contacting Nanda, to find out about Salma. Nanda tells him that Salma will take a long time to receive someone, especially now that he has not forgotten Malik. Nanda advises Fiki to stop, but Fiki still wants to try.

“Alright up to Brother Fiki.” Nanda said in a phone call.

“OK, already yes wassalamu’alaikum.” He ended his call with Fiki.

Gani is on the porch of her house preparing to go to school.

“Kak Raka, from where early in the morning?” Tanya Gani sees Raka walking in front of her house.

“From home Malik.” Reply Raka.

“Oh Malik is home?”

Raka tells Gani that she was asked by Malik to look at her parents' situation because Sarah's cell phone could not be reached.

“Sarah's phone was damaged by a fall.” Raka continued.

Hearing that, Gani goes back into his house to pick up something.

Elsewhere, Nanda is waiting for a reply from Indra, she invites her boyfriend to meet because it has been more than a week of busy Indra that makes them unable to be together.

After a while, he finally entered the reply message he was waiting for.

“I'm still busy with my college assignments, sorry I will tell you later if I can meet ya.” Indra Replies.

Although every day Indra always gave news to him, but Nanda's longing for her lover can not just disappear. Nanda wanted her to always meet like they had been dating at least once every three days like they used to. But because of Indra's busyness, he could not say anything but agree.

Salma went to college to take care of some things for the completion of her graduation file. While on campus, he saw Indra carrying women on his motorcycle, the woman did not wear a hijab and appeared to embrace her from behind. “What the heck?” Salma was surprised to see her friend's lover with someone else.

Salma immediately calls Nanda, asking if her relationship with Indra is okay.

“Nan, are you okay with Indra?”

“Iya why ask like that?”

Salma told me what she had just seen. Nanda, who heard her boyfriend with another woman, thought it was her friend.

“But the woman embraces Indra from behind and Indra seems happy with the treatment.” Salma said she was afraid her friend would be betrayed.

“Really?” Nanda was especially excited considering that Indra had always rejected him lately if invited to meet.

Salma advises Nanda to act as usual to Indra for a while and if there is free time later she can help him to follow her boyfriend to find out if he is honest with what he has to say.

Arriving in class, Gani hands something to Sarah.

“This, quick grab before many see?” Gani said because now they are only two classes. The other friends don't seem to have come yet.

“What is this?” Sarah said after receiving it.

Gani immediately sat in his place as Sarah received something from him.

“That's my old phone, now I don't use it anymore. I heard from Raka your phone broke. I thought you needed it to contact your sister.”

“Wah thanks Gani, later if my phone can be repaired I will return it.” Sarah looks happy.

“Eh but...I didn't memorize my sister's number, may I ask for it?” Sarah Pinta.

“Hah?”

“Not yesterday you asked me.”

“Oh haha” Gani feels jolted because in fact she immediately deleted Malik's number after sending it to Salma.

“I guess, I accidentally deleted it.” Gani looks at her phone.

“Really? Ah how is this.” Sarah seemed to think.

“I recorded Malik's number in the notebook, but I didn't bring him.”

“Can I ask for your number?, Later when I'm home I will send you” Next.

Gani hands over her phone and Sarah immediately types her number on Gani's phone. Likewise with Sarah, she also asked for Gani's number just in case Gani forgot to send her sister's number later.

Nanda decides to follow Indra today secretly, though Salma offers to accompany her, but she chooses to do it herself. Nanda did not want to trouble his friend for the sake of his personal relationship, although he felt the difference in Indra's treatment lately to him that slightly changed, but Nanda still hoped it was not like what he thought. He hopes that the woman Salma saw with her boyfriend was his family or whatever it was that was important it was not a special person in Indra's heart.

Today I went to meet her friend's invitation, it looks like I'll be back in the afternoon. Salma prepared a meal for him and Gani because usually his sister would eat after school. After a while the dish Salma made was finished, it sounded Gani had gone home and entered the house.

“Dik” Call Salma from kitchen.

“Iya kak” Gani came to see Salma who was sitting at the dining table.

“Mother goes, it looks like until afternoon, let's quickly eat.”

After a while Gani cleaned up and changed her clothes, she immediately sat down to her brother to eat.

“Oh yes I asked for Malik.” number Gani Pinta.

“Do you delete it directly?” Tanya Salma saw her sister.

“Iya.”

Salma mentions Malik's number, while Gani types in the message field that he will send to Sarah.

“What did you ask for it?”

“Sarah who asked for it.”

Gani also told of Sarah's broken phone. He also said that in fact he did not say honestly when asking for Malik's number at that time to Sarah, he reasoned that it was him who needed Malik's number, it was done for the good name of his brother.

“Good luck” Salma compliments her sister who cares about her self-image.

“By the way have you never been interested in Sarah? She's beautiful loh.” Salma teases her sister.

“What is sister talking about?.” Gani replied with a slight annoyance without looking at her brother and stayed focused with her meal.

“Oh yes brother almost forgot, you already intend not to marry people in the village here.”

When they were kids in elementary school. Gani once said that when there was a wedding between two people who were both from their village that he did not want to be like that. According to him, there is no change in living standards if you marry someone who is the same place where you come from.

“hahaha do you remember Dik saying that?” Salma laughed remembering her brother who was so innocent could say such an adult thing when he was very young.

“Remember.” Answer Gani flat.

“Are you serious about it?” Salma was still laughing given the innocence of her sister.

“…..”

Before looking for Indra, Nanda first contacted her boyfriend to ask where he is now. Indra said that he was attending a seminar outside the campus. Even so, Nanda wanted Indra to mention where she attended the seminar. Indra said he attended the seminar quite far from the campus, Nanda still wanted to know what the name of the place was. Finally Indra also mentioned a hall that was quite far from their campus.

Although far away, Nanda still tried to see his girlfriend at least if he could not enter he could believe that it was true Indra was there. After about an hour Nanda traveled on his motorcycle, he finally arrived in front of the hall where Indra called the place where the seminar he was taking part in.

Nanda stared blankly at the situation there, the hall looked silent and not a single event was held there.
