If the Heart Has Chosen
IV.
A slightly cloudy morning, made Rey a little lazy to go to school, but she still had to leave if she did not want to receive punishment from her Papa, as usual, he will pick up Fara first and then go to school together.
"Rey, not breakfast yet?" ask Mother Fara, Ana.
"Rey has breakfast at Bun's house, this must be rushed to leave fearing that your child can't cheat PR," explained Rey while glancing at Fara who was wearing shoes with a face that held back upset.
"His habit is mah Rey, sometimes do not cheat him," Mother's nagging.
"Ready Bun,"
"Hunt off!" said Fara was upset and walked out first to Rey's car.
After kissing Mother's hand, Rey followed Fara who had been sitting sweetly in the passenger seat of her car, before long Rey immediately drove her favorite car to school.
"Rey, why don't I feel good today?" said Fara.
Rey did not reply just to sniff her shoulders a sign of not knowing, they went back to silence with their respective thoughts while walking down the corridor that would lead them to class.
"Today I sat with you" said Fara.
"Whatever, I asked you to sit with me first, but you didn't want to" Rey replied.
Both of them entered the classroom and sure enough Fara immediately sat down on the seat beside Rey, she immediately opened the tomboy girl's bag and looked for the task book she would copy, she said, in an instant Fara ants and sinks into her focus of copying PR while Rey reads the novel she always carries to fulfill her morning routine.
At 07.00 right the school bell reads the lesson marks will begin along with the completion of the PR copying process carried out by Fara.
The class was starting to row because the teacher did not go to class was almost 30 minutes but the teacher who should have taught the first hour did not go to see. Fara had gone out of nowhere from her seat, while Rey still remained in the same position without changing her focus at all.
It was only after nearly 45 minutes late that the teacher entered the classroom, immediately the rest of the class returned to its proper position and went back to silence.
"Okay kids, sorry for your late father and today you get new friends in other words there are new students who will occupy our class, okay please come in,"
All the eyes of the class dwellers were fixed on the figure who walked gracefully and stood in front of the class except for 1 student who had since been still immersed in the sentences listed on the novel he held.
"Ah why should he anyway," annoyed Fara slowly.
"Leave it," Rey replied.
While someone who was standing in front of the class stole a glance at the tomboy girl who had never been disturbed at all.
"He's still the same,"
The girl nodded.
After introducing herself, the girl named Nadine Aryatama was sitting on a bench that had been appointed for her to occupy which was exactly in front of the bench owned by Rey and Fara.
"Hi" said Nadine with a pepsodent smile.
There is no answer from Fara or Rey, Fara is focusing on the lessons that have already begun while Rey remains on her favorite novel, no one dared to bother him and the teachers were reluctant to reprimand him because each was reprimanded and then told to do the matter in front of Rey still able to answer even though she was reading a novel.
Hours of lessons passed quickly and the bell sign of rest was rang, all the students scattered to a place that will make their stomach full, canteen.
"Beb, canteen?" ask Fara.
"Hhmm," Rey replied and she stood up from her seat.
"Can you come?" nadine asked with a hopeful look.
"We don't like to be disturbed" Fara replied sharply, while Rey was being indifferent.
"Rey?" Nadin doesn't give up, he tries to get Rey's attention.
"Just like Fara," Rey replied no less coldly.
Rey and Fara leave the disappointed Nadine alone to the cafeteria, Fara needs food intake to replenish her lost energy due to her sense of regret in the new students who suddenly appear when her presence is very unexpected by both.
"Please Nadine, there will come a time when you can get Rey" said Nadine.
"How can a rancid child get into our school" Fara said.
"You already know the answer is Far,"
"We've had a peaceful school without her all-rese Rey, instead of her quiet-quiet school abroad why she's back again,"
"Just let it go,"
"I'm afraid he's reckless and messed things up,"
"I'm used to the mess, after school I go to the cafe, you hang out or go with Nava?"
"So, Brother Nava?"
"I saw in your chat that way,"
"Hehe, I'm being escorted by Nava, sister,"
"Okay, uh,"
Nadine is their friend during Junior High, not one class but both know each other, not least because of Nadine who blatantly approached Rey, even to do reckless and shameless which actually makes Rey and Fara so careful of Nadine, he said, one day she is possessed by a demon, and Nadine threatens to jump if Rey does not accept her as her boyfriend, rey was forced to accept him to be a girlfriend with a feeling that was really afraid if this news reached his father's ear, his father, Nadine who feels winning and shameless always indulges in intimacy in front of the crowd which actually makes Rey more depressed, fortunately, both of Nadine's parents who at that time heard the news about her son's behavior at school immediately intervened, Nadine immediately they took her abroad.
And now this is where Nadine somehow seduced her parents to return to her home country.

The cafe looks crowded, many tables are filled and only leave one or two empty places, Fara and other employees look back and forth to deliver orders to customers, and the customer, while Rey is working on a monthly report that she just received from Nava, the cashier at once doubles as an admin.
"It's busy, apparently," said a voice that surprised Rey.
"Oh, you, how come you're home?"
Someone immediately closed the door again by not forgetting to lock it, then walked towards the tomboy girl who was sitting in her comfortable chair with a neatly arranged paper on the table.
"My problem is when to go home?" asked Rey in a spoiled voice.
Someone who is none other than Nesa is smiling and hugging Rey who is still sitting in her chair.
"Yesterday night I came home, but because of jet lag I fell asleep and just woke up this afternoon" Nesa explained.
"Cappies no?"
"Capek, tired of longing for the spoiled pole," replied Nesa while peeping Rey's forehead.
"I miss you too,"
The two tighten their arms to let go of the longing that gathered for days not to meet, Nesa who had to follow her boss away because it had become her duty in carrying out the duties of the company, luckily Rey is very patient and understands how their relationship is, there are no serious fights, if there is something that hinders them always talking about together or involving Fara to help think.
"Stay with me dear, whatever happens later, because my feeling will be there is something that will be a storm in our relationship," said Rey who suddenly sad.
Nesa smiled, then raised Rey's head to face him, staring right at the tomboy girl's bead as if giving confidence that she would not leave her side no matter what.
"Your father will force you to control the company at all costs" Nesa said.
"If all that happens, I'll call that person to help me" Rey explained.
Nesa smiled, she really did not expect that she could fall in love with Rey who was a long way away from her but had a very mature mind as well full of preparation in every step she made.
"Love you Vanessa,"
"Love you too Reynata,"
