Malik paused for a moment to hear what Gani had asked him.
“What do you mean.” Malik knitted his brows.
Gani said the same thing again.
“Gani.” Riki called out to him from a distance.
Riki is a friend of Gani who was waiting for him.
“It looks like you guys still have the same feeling.” Gani continued, while going to Riki who called him.
Malik was still in his place, looking towards Gani who left him.What did Gani say right? Has Salma not forgotten him yet?. Malik sat in the post, thinking about what he had just heard from Gani.
Although it had been a few months ago when he had last seen Salma, he had not been able to forget it. Malik still can not get rid of his feelings for Salma despite being determined to stop. Salma is his first love, he has often felt longing and love for someone he has not met for a long time, maybe that is also the reason now can not forget Salma even though it has not been seen for long enough.
For him Salma is the only person who can make his heart pounding because it feels happy when with him. Malik had never felt that way when he was with anyone else. Only Salma made her happy and made her heart shake which was probably due to her love feelings.
Now that there was nothing Malik could do to his feelings, he did not want to put Salma in a predicament. If it is true what Gani told him, he still has to stay away from Salma, so that Salma can soon forget him. Malik tries to get away from Salma no matter how he feels, so he hopes he will find someone else who can make him happy.

Four months ago, a few days after Nanda decided Indra. Indra invited him to meet.
“Nanda, I'm sorry. I'll be better, let's start from the beginning.”
“I made a mistake” Indra continued looking regretful what she had done to Nanda.
“Error?” Nanda looked calm. Although he still felt disappointed, he did not want to look weak.
“Iya, I was wrong.”
“You know wrong, but you said it was a mistake?” Nanda smiled cynically.
“I'm sorry.” Indra begged again.
“Indra, when we were together I felt happy and accepted you because I really liked you. I've even dreamed of living an aging life with you, taking care of the house together in the midst of our respective busy lives and raising children. My mind was so mature when I thought of such a thing” Nanda said it calmly.
“It's only natural that I think so because you are the first one to fill my heart.” Continue seeing Indra this time.
“I promise I won't repeat again.” Indra looks sparkling, it seems that this time he thinks Nanda will come back with him.
“You must promise, never be like that to anyone.” Reply Nanda approves.
Indra nodded happily.
“I've forgiven you, thank you for everything.” Nanda is leaving.
“Nanda, Nanda wait.” Indra held Nanda's hand, holding her away.
Nanda looked at Indra with a flat gaze. Indra felt Nanda's disappointment towards him, she let him go.

On several occasions when Salma took off from her job, she was with Fiki. Salma also looks happy when they are together. One day Fiki ventured to express her feelings that she had long been silent about.
“Salma, I like you.” Fiki Say.
“You're married to me.” He then looked serious when he was with Salma after finishing dinner together at a restaurant.
Salma thought for a moment.
“I'm really sorry brother.” Salma finally shut up.
Again Salma was not aware of the existence and attitude of Fiki on him because Fiki liked him. Although he did not feel bad when he was with Fiki, but he could not lie to his heart which sometimes still missed Malik. He still likes Malik even though circumstances ask him to stop immediately.
“Salma, do I really have no chance?” Fiki looked at Salma expectantly.
“I'm sorry.” Salma lowered her gaze, feeling guilty for giving hope to someone who had helped her a lot.
“I hope you are happy.” Fiki smiled as he stood up, intending to leave immediately.
“I hope big brother too, thank you very much.” Salma also returned Fiki's smile even though with a feeling of fear, Fiki would be hurt by it.
Fiki passed away.

Salma worked until the afternoon. Arriving at home, Mother looks to be tidying up their living room which is a little scattered because of the former some snacks and glasses that have been used.
“What's there a guest bu?” Ask Salma.
“Sini-here.” She asked Salma to sit down to her.
Mom told Salma that someone had just proposed to her. The man who proposed to him was the son of an old friend of Father who now works as a manager of a well-known company.
“What?”
“Although you just worked, but the Father has asked him and he will let you work while you have no children.” Mom looks happy.
“Mother.”
“He is handsome and certainly well established, actually if you are lazy, not working is not a problem.”
Hearing what she said did not interest her at all. Although it sounds life will be guaranteed because of the material, but his heart seems not to be able to accept because there is someone who continues to settle and whether until when he himself does not know it.
“Can I meet him” Pinta Salma.
Hearing that, Mother looked so happy and immediately told the Father to be able to immediately meet Salma with the child of his friend.

Fiki felt sad, his feelings that almost a year he was a long pamphlet did not get the expected reply from the person he liked. This time he really had to forget about Salma because it seemed Salma could not escape her first love as Nanda had said. “It's time to try to see the other” his mumbling cheered up.
Nanda had told Salma that Fiki expressed her feelings for her and she did not accept it.
“What?” Nanda is shocked to hear Salma telling Fiki from the phone.
“Why you still haven't received it. Didn't you say you'd forget your upperclassman? Or you haven't been able to forget it until now?” Further.
“It looks like so.” Salma said slowly.
“Salma you must be aware, you are not condoned.”
A few months ago, Salma finally told Nanda about her relationship with Malik. He tells the truth that his parents asked Malik to consider his intentions of wanting to propose to Salma a few months ago.
“What?.”
“Salma, sorry to say this. But you have to understand why Malik stayed away from you. Maybe he..”
“Doctor Nanda, no patients.” I heard Nanda's colleagues calling him.
“Salma first, later I call again.” Nanda hung up.
Salma felt her chest tight, hearing what Nanda had just said which she thought was true. He recalled the time he contacted Malik for the first and it was also his last time, Malik said that he did not have the same feelings for him. It was completely unthinkable all along, all Salma thought about was the sweet memories Malik left for her. Although short, at that time Salma was very happy. “If God wants me to be with someone else, I am sincere but I will be honest with myself that I keep remembering sweet memories about you.” Salma said she hoped Malik would hear her heart.
