New Spirit
Zaskia's eyeballs popped a few seconds after reading Farid's reply.
"Why are you, Zas? Wiggling the screen hape I'm kek again see ghost, is that it?" mia asked in astonishment when she accidentally saw the look on Zaskia's face.
Out of curiosity Mia grabbed by force her phone which was still in the hands of Zaskia.
"Wait, Mia!" Zaskia tries to reclaim her best friend's phone. The round-eyed girl did not want Mia to know the contents of the chat from Farid just now.
Zaskia is not willing if the man who is very much loved it can easily move to another heart especially to Mia his own close friend.
Mia who had already seen and read a short message from Farid just now instantly her cheeks look red. His heart also felt flowery as if the chaby-cheeked girl had a glimmer of hope that he had been alone. Without Zaskia knowing if Mia had fallen for Farid since the first sight when Zaskia invited Farid to play to Mia's house.
"Delete, Mi all the SMS I sent the same SMS reply from Farid too!" tell Zaskia expectantly. Zaskia is not willing if Farid's mobile number is stored in Mia's phone especially if between Mia and Farid continue communication in the trunk without him knowing.
Zaskia doesn't want any of that to happen.
"good. All SMS sent and incoming SMS I deleted, yes! In accordance with your orders, princess," said Mia while showing her phone screen towards Zaskia.
Mia has deleted all SMS messages between Zaskia and Farid. But, of course, without the knowledge of Zaskia if he had first stored Farid's number in the phone's memory before Mia deleted the SMS as shown by her best friend earlier.
"Quiet, anyway, Zas. Farid that's right, the guy's a plenary handsome. Where maybe he will be interested and fall in love with me who burik kayak gini. There will be even Romeo and Juminten cakes," said Mia while joking that made Zaskia inevitably end up laughing out loud.
"Sa ae, you, Mi." Zaskia replied in between her laughter.
"Yes, that. The proof yesterday was there was a guy who took me to the house directly ngibrit tuh men after just a few minutes saw me with a model like this." Mia told me about her meeting with a man named Fikry some time yesterday.
"Where do you know that guy named Fikry?" ask Zaskia curiously.
"From my teteh-in-law's candidate."
"Owh, Anna's Lukman's girlfriend, huh?" sahut Zaskia because he was a little bit about Anna from Mia who said her boyfriend Lukman, her older brother Mia.
Mia nodded her head in tears.
"Quiet, Mi. Later will also come an unexpected soul mate," said Zaskia trying to comfort her best friend.

A bright morning. Sunlight gives warm light to all beings on earth. In the corridor of a famous campus looks a handsome man who was walking with gontai. His footsteps seemed to describe a new spirit to pursue the day ahead. The figure is none other than Farid who has begun to be excited about his days after a few weeks yesterday was down with a phase of life that makes him have to swallow disappointment with reality that is not in accordance with the imagination.
Earlier this morning before leaving for the campus the man had first contacted Mia's phone number to invite her to meet somewhere when they would finish their respective courses later in the afternoon.
Farid deliberately had the intention to approach Mia, as Zaskia's close friend. In the hope that he can extract as much information about Zaskia as possible from Mia.
The man wanted to know why Zaskia seemed to have made no effort at all to resist and reject everything her father had set out to do. Farid had thought that if Zaskia really only loved herself, there should be at least some effort to escape her father's will.
However, what Farid saw Zaskia as if resigned to what her father said. It is good and true that we must obey and obey our parents. But look what the problem used to be. What else did Farid hear from a handful of people if Zaskia would be betrothed to a man whose behavior was very far from religion. Besides saying he likes to play gambling, drunk and changing boyfriend who will be betrothed by his father Zaskia is also an ex-convict who has been used to go to jail for drugs and other illegal goods.
Maybe Zaskia's father turned a blind eye to the ugliness of his future son-in-law. Because Zaskia's father was more concerned about the wealth owned by the man's parents who were still his coworkers in a famous company.
That is what makes Farid regret with the attitude of Zaskia who seemed not to refuse when she knew she would be married to such a man.
Farid entered his class which looked still empty. Before long there were several students who entered and sat in their seats.
A tall man walked up to Farid and patted him on the shoulder.
"Congratulations, yes, Rid. Listen-heard you're now engaged, yeah, same Zaskia!" said the man who was none other than a friend who was pretty close to Farid as long as they knew and spent time together on campus. The brown man named Juna student who came from the lower class as well as Farid who never dressed fashionable and luxurious like other friends.
A few seconds Farid was flabbergasted to receive congratulations from his close friend. Farid answered him.
"I, yes, Juni. Thank you very much" he replied later. Farid was at a loss to answer what the truth was. He felt embarrassed and insecure if all of his classmates would know about him who was rejected outright by Zaskia's father during the application some time ago.
"You're healed yourself, Jun? Sorry, yes, yesterday - yesterday I did not have time to visit you when you could crash yesterday," Farid said trying to divert their conversation so as not to discuss about Zaskia at this time.
Juna did have an accident that made him have to be hospitalized a few weeks because of injuries in some of his limbs some time ago coincided with the day when Farid was holding a proposal with Zaskia.
"It's okay, Rid. What matters is that I am healed now. I'm also sorry that during your application yesterday I couldn't deliver" Juna said.
