As if it had become routine. Most students from out of town choose to return home. Pulang village. There are also those who still settle in the boarding place while making their own vacation plans with some close friends. A small percentage of other students there who take advantage of their time to freelance, looking for additional income. There are others who make new activities with friends, new acquaintances, or their families. Really, there are a lot of different activities that students do when the semester break arrives.

Anjani and his friends certainly also have different activities during the holidays arrive. Anjani also had intended to go home to meet Ma in the village. But it's still tomorrow. Today Anjani and friends will go for a walk together in one of the shopping places in Jember city.

“Come down friends!” meli exclaimed excited once the car arrived at the shopping center parking lot.

“Mel, must be screaming, yes?” Alenna protest.

“This is called an expression of cheerfulness. Yuhuu! Anjani, let's get down first. I want to go through, here!” pinta Meli is impatient.

“Patience. Your sling bag is carefully left behind.” Anjani.

“Ups, hehe. I forgot,” said Meli cengar-cengir. His sling bag was almost left in Alenna's car.

“Nothing is left behind?” ask Alenna.

“InsyaAllah does not exist,” replied Anjani.

“Yuk, join another first!” take Alenna with you after the mirror in the car.

Anjani, Meli, and Alenna walked over to Vina and Berlian who had just got off their respective cars. While Mario, Ken, Juno, and Dika are in Mario's car which is still parked in the shopping center's parking lot.

“My hijab is neat yet, anyway?” asked Vina who since getting off her car continues to tidy up the hijab she wears.

“It's neat, really. Come on, wait for Mario and the others in front of the entrance!” bring Diamonds.

Anjani, Meli, Alenna, Berlian, and Vina head to the entrance of the shopping center. Soon, Mario, Juno, Ken, and Dika walked over.

“Friends, happy shopping. If you have trouble contacting me, you can contact Alenna.” Mario.

“Ready!” exclaim Alenna steady.

“Come in!” take Mario.

Just now Mario finished saying, Ken, Juno, and Dika had already run into the shopping center as if there was something they were looking for to get quickly. Seeing Ken, Dika, and Juno running in, made Diamond want to enter as well. Diamonds don't want to lose Ken's track. Without a second thought, Diamond pulled Meli's arm and carried her inside the shopping mall. Before that, Meli had pulled Vina's arm to come with her. Meli thought that Vina's arm she pulled was Anjani's arm.

Remaining Anjani, Alenna, and Mario who are still standing silent in the original place. Anjani is confused by the quick reaction of her friends while shopping. Their economic souls are stirring.

“I was left,” Og Anjani.

“Quiet, I'm with. There's my brother too, nih.” Alenna who heard Anjani's words also offered to accompany Anjani.

“Yuk, login!” bring Alenna.

Anjani. “Yuk!” Anjani started to step on her feet.

Alenna accidentally walked behind Anjani because she wanted to talk briefly with her brother, Mario.

“Sst!” alenna's code calls Mario who runs almost parallel to Anjani's steps.

“Hm. What?” ask Mario while slowing down and aligning Alenna. Meanwhile, Anjani coolly circulated the view, perhaps catching the figure of Meli and others.

“I stay, yes?” alenna half whispered.

“No. Anjani would not like it if I was alone with her.” Mario kept his voice down.

“This shopping mall, Mario. A lot of people here. Not just the two of you, though. I stayed first, yeah. Good Luck's. Bye.” Alenna looks excited about leaving her brother with Anjani.

“Wait! Alenna!” exclaim Mario, to make Anjani look.

Alenna's running away from Mario-Anjani.

“Alenna where to go?” ask Mario Anjani.

“Em, the .. I don't know.” In the end Mario did not know what to say to Anjani.

Anjani starts clumsy on her own when she finds herself alone with Mario. When shopping there is usually Meli who frenzied himself choose this item-it. However, the conditions are different. Anjani is confused what to do at the time, when there is only himself near Mario.

"Me" said Anjani and Mario simultaneously.

"Em, you go first." Anjani invited Mario first.

"You go first" said Mario, inviting Anjani to say first.

Mario-Anjani stands face to face. Each of the two felt a melodious shake of opium. However, the atmosphere at that time was overwhelmed with clumsiness. As a result, there was a boundary between the two of them. The reason is a mixed feeling, to be able to drown the words that are about to be launched.

"I ... go first yes. Want to follow the others," said Anjani in the end.

"Eh. Wait!" mario's exclaim prevented Anjani's move.

Anjani who has started to step back turned his head, face to face again with Mario.

"What's wrong?" ask Anjani while smiling.

"Anjani, can you help me choose a gift for someone?" Mario really meant it this time. He was planning to find a gift. "Take the road later will definitely cross paths with others," added Mario.

Anjani. "alright. Come on!" Anjani agrees to accompany Mario looking for a gift for someone Mario meant, without asking who he is.

Mario smiled with relief and pleasure. He saw a beautiful Muslim woman who is currently walking in tandem with him. Mario steal a glance. In Mario's eyes, Anjani looks so beautiful with a maroon robe and a wide hijab that matches.

Mario-Anjani steps up while occasionally making small talk. Long time the awkwardness between them was gone. The chat topic that they were discussing at that time was around the implementation of the semester exam which had ended yesterday. For the two of them, even though the chat was only about college, but still it felt something different.

One thing that makes this ordinary conversation interesting. That's because you're my chatmate, Mario. Anjani.

"Anjani, take a look at this!" Mario steps towards a shelf full of cute dolls.

"Gemes-gemes-hemes!" exclaim Anjani while holding a stuffed cow.

"Do you think this is the most interesting?" mario asked, smiling as he pointed at the stuffed cow Anjani was holding.

"Yes. Remember the village. Many neighbors have cows. Moooo!" Anjani instead mimicked the cow's voice and it sounded funny.

Mario chuckles.

"You're laughing at me, huh?" Anjani pouting.

"No. I laughed because the cow face was funny" replied Mario.

"Oh." Anjani only oh ria.

"You're funny too. I mean the cow's voice is funny." Mario again chuckled, and Anjani also followed laughing at that time.

Mario sees a stuffed cow still held by Anjani. Mario nimbly snatched it from Anjani while smiling.

"Eh? I want that too." Anjani explained that Mario did not take the cow doll he wanted to choose.

In the heart of Mario feel happy because he could see Anjani expression freelance like that time. Mario was ceaselessly smiling looking at him.

"This. I picked one for you. The cows are just different colors. You hold your cow, I hold my cow. Beres, right?" Mario looks excited when thrusting a cow doll of his choice on Anjani.

Anjani chuckled, unable to hide her laughter at all. However, in the end Anjani nodded as well. Anjani decides to take the cow doll that Mario chose.

"Well, that one's funny. That's good too. Especially that one is cheap." Anjani is enthusiastic when seeing items labeled discounts.

"It looks like it's ingrained in a woman's soul, huh?" ask Mario.

"Eh, what?" asked Anjani while looking towards Mario.

"Need a discount," replied Mario briefly with a smile.

"Hehe. I don't know. Just like to see the discount writing," explained Anjani, then again see the items that are cooking utensils.

Mario approached and took a look at the potato cutlery. He deliberately stood not far from Anjani who at that time looked so excited to see a multipurpose cutting tool labeled discount.

"Ehem, you want to learn to cook, huh?" ask Mario.

"I can cook. The petai fried rice I used to make is delicious, right?" Anjani asked back.

"What a son. I like the feel of the maple. Next time make it again, huh?" pinta Mario's.

"Byeah" Anjani replied. He turned to Mario for a while and then looked back at the all-purpose cutting tool labeled discount that was still held by him.

"Then I want to take this one," said Mario, seizing a versatile cutting tool labeled as a discount held by Anjani.

"Hehe. Make what? Do you want to learn to cook?" anjani asked half-chuckled.

"Yes. I want to cook too. Later you part tester, how does it feel. Savory, spicy, salty, or taste ...." Mario's words came to a halt, he glanced at Anjani with a smile.

Hearing Mario not continue his words, Anjani turned his head and found Mario was looking at him.

"Or taste?" anjani asked, wanting to hear immediately the continued words of Mario.

"Yes ... fried rice flavor," continued Mario. Anjani, let's play a game!" take Mario suddenly.

"Where is Anjani?" asked Meli while taking off Vina's arm.

"aaah. You're playing pull just don't look around. The one you pulled up here was me!" yang Vina sebal.

Meli cengar-cengir because I had mistaken.

"Hehe. Sorry-sorry. I'm there if you want to go back to the entrance," said Meli relaxed.

"Meliiii! Why am I going back there too. Yes mending me shopping." After saying so, Vina stepped leisurely looking around at the items around.

Meli Manyun's lips looked at Vina's behavior.

"Diamond, need to find Anjani?" ask Meli on Diamond who is already cool looking at sunglasses.

"Udah continue. At most Anjani is the same Brother Mario," guessed Diamond.

Diamonds are still cool looking at sunglasses. The black glasses he was holding were black glasses that had only been tried by Ken a while ago.

"Cong you see me, anyway?" ask Diamond.

Meli is indeed watching the glasses held by Diamond.

"That's the glasses that Ken's been trying on, right?" said Meli half teasing Diamond in her smile.

"You're looking around for other stuff, too, huh. Ooh-uh. There's another look around the hat. Samperin!" diamond Suggestions on Meli.

"Relieve it! Can be taught the same storm if I go there," cried Meli while throwing her face from the direction Dika was.

"Emmm. Sure, anyways? Don't you have the same taste as Dika?" The Diamond Turn seizes the opportunity to tease Meli.

Angled meli. Meli confused what to say to reply Diamond words.

"cn .... Not really, though. What flavor? Feeling noisier? Mending I play the same taste of Mas Azka in Jogja," said Meli.

"Cie. Turns out. The theme is 'Hero-ku Pujaan Hatiku', nih. Kirain you have a crush on Dika. My guess is wrong." Diamond enthusiastically responded to Meli's words.

You are right Diamond. I am the one who admits. Dika doesn't care about me at all. Hm. In the end I was happy, because the taste was slowly fading since Mas Azka was present in my life. Inner Meli.

Meli involuntarily smiled as she remembered Azka's name.

"Dwelling. Wear all smiles. Hayo, want to think about Azka or want to hunt for groceries?" ask Diamond while nudging Meli's shoulder.

"I chose both dong. Hehe, Meli that way. Ayo, shut!" Meli is getting excited.

"Come on!"
