Salma did not expect Malik not to look at her. “What he didn't see me.” Her thought. He kept his bike.

In front of the cafe, Fiki asks Nanda to take the time to talk to him. He invites Nanda to go back to the new cafe a few moments after he leaves.

“Nanda, does Salma have a boyfriend?”. Ask Fiki when they've sat down and soaked up the drink they ordered.

“She has no boyfriend, why her sister?”

“I like it.”

“Really?” Nanda never expected Fiki to have feelings for her close friend.

“Iya, I want to express my feelings to her.”

“Do you think I'm in a hurry?” Continue Fiki.

“Of course. I'm just surprised, let alone him.” Nanda muttered, but was heard by Fiki.

“What?”

“Honestly I didn't expect that brother didn't say.”

“Really? Actually I have liked him for a long time and secretly noticed him. Don't you know that? Is Salma also probably not aware of it?” Fiki felt what he had been doing all this time in liking Salma did not give any marks, he looked to be uninspired.

“How do I know and it seems to be true so hahaa.”

“You laughed at me.” Fiki looked annoyed.

“No.” Nanda nodded

“Ya done.”

They were silent for a while, Fiki was thinking about something while Nanda looked relaxed while absorbing her drink.

“Can you help me?” Fiki Say.

“Help what?”

“Can you help me so that Salma also likes me?”

“What can I do?”

“Maybe later if there is a chance I will ask for your help.”

“Hmm”

“For now please keep this matter a secret to him and if you want to tell me about me then tell me good things about myself hehe.” Pinta Fiki's.

“I think our relationship is enough to help each other.” Further.

“Alright, I'll do it.” Nanda consented.

“OK me first, thank you.” Fiki smiled and left.

“…..”

When Nanda enrolled in college, he asked a lot about the ways and requirements to enter medicine at Fiki. Although he struggled with his own efforts, but the information he got from Fiki at that time helped him greatly.

After Fiki left, Nanda was still in place, thinking about whether helping Fiki was the right thing. But anyway, all this time the person whom Salma liked had not given the expected response. Nanda wants Salma to be happy with someone who likes her too.

Arriving at home, Salma saw Father sitting in the living room.

“Assalamualaikum.”

“Wa'alaikumussalam.”

“Mr here, was there a guest?” Ask Salma.

“Iya”

“Salma” Father calls.

“Iya.”

“You're back in college?” Ask after a moment of silence.

“No, I was out to buy something.”

“Oh” Father nodded.

Malik is going back to town today. Before that, he said goodbye to some of his friends in the village. He came to the post where they usually relax.

“Sore it's me back.” Malik.

“Not felt like a week huh.” Answer one of his friends.

Malik smiling.

“I'm sorry if there's any wrong.”

“Me too, you take care of yourself Lik.” Raka hugged him.

“Please release.” Riki tries to let go of Raka's embrace.

They all laugh.

Before returning to the city, Malik wanted to decide something like his previous intentions. He did not want to think of anything uncertain. Therefore, he also wanted to convey the response of Salma's parents when he asked permission to apply for Salma to his mother.

Malik told the reality that he had received, not rejected, but asked to consider that he had subtly refused. Malik realized, he was not a person worthy of Salma, even though his feelings had not received it fully. Ms. Siti who heard her son's statement, did not think her son would be rejected. But even though he still has to accept and give encouragement to his son. “Allah definitely gives the best.” Said Ms. Siti.

It had been two days after seeing Malik last time, Salma had not returned to see him. This afternoon Salma plans to take a walk around the village. He wants to see Malik.

Salma wanted to ask Elsa to accompany him, but because keeping the new Zahra sitting made it difficult to walk while holding her child. Salma who realized that, undo his intention to invite his friend and neighbor.

Finally Salma walked alone, before she offered Mom to order vegetables to buy so she had a reason to go out. She asked him to buy kale and cabbage.

On the way Salma met several times and greeted the people who saw him. Salma has always been friendly and smiley to anyone.

Arriving near Malik's house, seen Bu Siti and Sarah standing on the porch of his house. Salma approached them.

“Bu what's wrong?”

“Tadi Malik has just returned to the city.” Reply to Ms. Siti and go straight into the house.

“Malik back to town?” Salma again asked Sarah who was still on the terrace.

“Iya kak.”

“What really just?” Salma was hoping she could still meet Malik.

“Iya just.”

“Oh, alright Sarah.” Salma ran to go home.

Salma hopes she still has a chance to meet Malik. He thought about taking a motorcycle and chasing it. In addition, Salma also took the phone in her pocket intending to contact Malik, but she realized that she did not have the number of the man she liked. Salma continued to accelerate her pace.

Arriving at home, Salma immediately retrieved the motorcycle key. He drove his bike after Malik whose hope was still not far away.

Salma drove the bike far enough, he was already a few kilometers from the village boundary, but he did not see Malik. Salma stopped by the side of the road, thinking of giving up on pursuing Malik. “What I do.” Salma pondered while exhaling his breath violently.

Malik stopped at the gas station. He's been waiting here long enough. After he finished filling up the gas, he returned to drive his bike. But before he entered the road, Malik looked back and found Salma who was about three stalls away from him.

“Salma” Malik calling.

Salma, who realized Malik was calling her, immediately returned to his motorcycle to approach someone who called him.

“Malik.” Salma smiled feeling happy about meeting Malik.
