“What's up? Why crying?” Gani.
“Who? Sister does not cry” Reply Salma as if she is fine. Salma turned around while taking out some things from her bag at the dresser, then pulled out her study chair and chose to sit in front of her dresser.
Gani feels that something is happening to her brother, she is not so sure what her brother just said. “Why did sister send me here?” Gani said as if he was introgating, he went to face his brother.
“Sister just doesn't want mom and dad to hear your nonsense and be worried.” Reply to Salma after exhaling her breath slowly.
Gani chooses to sit on Salma's bed he looks at the screen of the phone in his hand.
“You can go out and don't say anything weird to mom and dad, okay?” Pinta Salma while removing her hijab.
Gani was still in his place, he ignored what Salma said.
Gani remembered what Sarah told him this afternoon. Sarah said that her mother did not approve Malik's request to re-apply her brother. As Gani's face changed, she felt quite certain, it seemed that Salma had indeed cried, crying because of Malik.
“So sure is fine?” Gani said after a while he seemed to ignore Salma who was not far from him.
Salma just nodded.
“What sister just met Malik?”
As soon as Salma's face changed, the pain that was as strong as she could endure and ignore, it seemed like she would waver. Salma was unable to control her facial expression.
“So afternoon I met Sarah.”
Salma just stared at herself in front of the mirror.
“Sabar brother, but if brother feels tired I think brother could have tried to forget it and see others.” Gani.
“Salma turned around and saw Gani.
“What do you mean? Why should you be patient? What do you know?” Feeling uncomfortable, Salma asked Gani as if she had forgotten her desire to cover up her grief.
“Sarah says everything, sister don't need to cover it from me.” Gani looks so calm, even though she actually feels very sad to see her brother must be hurt because of this. However, Gani does not want it seen by Salma, she wants her brother to believe he can be used as someone who can accept all the complaints of this brother.
“What did Sarah say?”
“Kak, let's eat.” I heard that she asked Salma to go to the kitchen for dinner, and Gani had just finished her meal before Salma dragged her here.
Gani moved up and wanted to get out of the room.
Salma immediately restrains Gani by holding her sister's wrist.
“Sister answer, what did Sarah say?” Pinta Salma asked Gani to answer her question. He did not understand why his sister seemed to know the condition of her who had just met and was injured because of Malik.
“The mother does not approve Malik who wants to propose to sister.” Reply Gani while looking at her brother.
“What?” Salma felt so surprised, she did not expect that what happened a moment ago might just be a conjecture from Malik so that he chose to leave his first love.
Seeing her brother who was so surprised made Gani undo his intention to immediately leave the room. She was curious about what made her brother cry.
“Nanti.” Salma rushed back to put on her hijab and stuffed some of the items she had just taken out into her bag. Salma hurriedly exited the room and left again.
“Where are you going?” Ask Gani.
“Tell mom and dad, there are things you have to finish.” Salma left without seeing her parents who were still eating dinner in the kitchen.

Malik has just returned. After cleaning himself up, he leaned over his bed. The tightness in his heart was still Malik felt. Malik looked down to remember Salma who cried some time ago because of him. Malik covered his face with both hands, he spilled all his pain.
Amidst Malik lamenting his grief, his phone rang. He grabbed the phone and opened the locked screen. Not a special thing, this is just a message in the group of teachers where he teaches that from the next Monday 6th grade will start tutoring for exam preparation. Malik sighed, then realized something.
“Do I have to do that?” Malik thought as one hand pressed against his chest that felt so tight. Malik thought that he would really forget Salma and had to close everything that connected him to someone who had been making him so happy and hurt. Malik thought about blocking all things related to Salma be it mobile number or social media. Malik wants to be really focused this time. He does not want himself to suffer for a long time.he must immediately forget his first love and try to open his heart to others.
“Sorry.” Malik snaps the block on the Salma number on his phone screen.
Malik took off his phone and tightly hugged both of his bent legs. Malik lowered his head, he cried in silence because he did not want his sadness heard by anyone.

After a while at the cafe, Nanda and Tari chose to immediately end their meeting today.
“I go.” Nanda said as she got up from her seat while extending her hand.
Dari received Nanda's helping hand, they shook hands.
“It must be difficult for Salma, please help him.” Saying Dance.
Nanda nodded, she still felt very worried about Salma especially she chose to go home first.”Is she crying now?” Think Nanda.
“I also want to go home, mari.” Continue Tari who also stood up and walked with Nanda who slightly preceded him.
Nanda's steps suddenly came to a halt, his heart suddenly ached, and his heart became beating faster. Nanda was so upon seeing Salma enter the cafe who was also looking at her.
“Salma.” Lirih Tari felt something not much different from Nanda. He was shocked to see Salma coming.
Salma stopped when she saw her friend aware of her arrival. Salma closed her puffy eyes, not knowing how many tears she had shed. This time he did not want to falter, Salma strengthened his steps again to continue his desire to ascertain what had really happened.
“Why are you together? Where's malik?” Salma asked as calmly as possible, she did not want to look like she directly blamed and cornered these two friends.
“Malik went home first because there was a sudden affair.” Reply Nanda also tried as calmly as possible, he did not want to show himself who was actually very nervous because he was afraid that he had been caught lying.
“Salma, sorry.” Saying Dance.
Nanda looked at Tari, giving her a code not to do anything she shouldn't.
“Sorry, we have made a mistake. You love each other, I can't.” Continue Dance.
