LOVE STRATA 1

CS1 List Couple

The series of activities for new students has been completed all. Both welcome, OSEK's three-day schedule, even the entrepreneurial learning event with a group of fellow new students was completed. Everything went as planned. All new students enjoy the course of each event. While the committee is so proud and relieved because it has successfully completed the task in each of the mandated fields.

The lecture activities have been active. The schedule of each course has been running and there are already several assignments from teaching lecturers. Students are again engaged in lecture activities. A new spirit, a new story, all created as we move forward.

Anjani is still trapped in her curiosity. Mbak Bida and Vina, those two names are the facts Anjani wants to know soon. Two names related to Mario Dana Putra. Curiosity has been around since before the welcoming period of new students was implemented. Until a month has passed since then, Anjani has not managed to tear down her curiosity.

Yes, a month has indeed passed, and leaves the same curiosity. Anjani had no chance to ask after her last meeting with Mario, when Anjani's hijab was hit by a marker at the time. Since then Anjani has not had a chance to talk to Mario.

Anjani, Meli, Berlian, and Alenna have got their own schedule with ustaza Nuri. Surely in a different place than the schedule to teach men. Mario, Juno, Ken, and Dika also have their own schedules and places to study with Mr. Nizar. That's one reason Anjani is rarely able to meet Mario, as well as not having the opportunity to ask about Mbak Bida or about Vina.

The different lecture schedule between Anjani and Mario is also one of the reasons the two rarely meet Mario. However, there is another reason that makes Anjani can not get close to meet Mario, namely the existence of Vina.

Anjani did not have a chance to meet Mario. However, Anjani can still see his figure from afar, especially at the turn of the course clock. In those moments Anjani often saw Mario, but there was always Vina beside him. In fact, during a lunch break in the cafeteria, Anjani had seen Vina eat with Mario and Ken.

That afternoon Anjani again saw Vina, also not far from Mario. Anjani saw her while she was about to have lunch in the cafeteria with Meli and Berlian. Yes, Vina was having lunch with Mario and Ken.

"That's ...." Meli did not continue her words because first interrupted by Anjani.

"Sst. Let it. Yuk, order some food!" take Anjani later.

"You guys just order first. I choose the seat first. If you do not choose first, you will not get a seat. Em, is this right here?" Diamonds propose seating options.

"okay."

"Sip."

Diamond's chosen seat is quite far from Vina, Mario, and Ken. However, Anjani can still see clearly towards Mario.

Anjani and Meli first queue up. Meli queues to buy meatballs, while Anjani queues to buy chicken claw noodles. Fortunately at that time the food queue they chose was not snaking, so neither Anjani nor Meli quickly got the food ordered. After that, then Berlian lined up to buy chicken soto. Not until five minutes, Diamond has returned to sit with Anjani and Meli.

"Anjani, just relax dong. That's three spoons, all right!" exciting Meli.

"Astaghfirullah, it turns out that I poured sambal, yes. Hehe." Anjani cangar-cengar, then keep the sambal container towards Meli.

"Barusan has already prayed dhuhur. Fresh because of the water. If you are still not focused like this, there must be something to think about" guess Diamond.

Anjani rolled her eyeballs, smiled, then held her stomach. "Hungry, here. Stomach rumbling makes it fail to focus," explained Anjani reassured Meli and Berlian.

Anjani is not bragging. Anjani's stomach was hungry at the time. However, on one hand his focus is interrupted due to seeing Vina sitting at the same table as Mario and Ken. For that one reason Anjani did not want to tell Meli or Diamond.

"Yes already. Yuk, eaten!" Meli started holding the spoon and fork.

Anjani and Diamond did the same, starting to hold the spoon and fork in their respective bowls. Anjani with chicken claw noodles, and Diamond with chicken soto.

Anjani eats chicken claw noodles while occasionally looking towards the table occupied by Mario, Vina, and Ken. It was clear that Vina was talking to Mario. Vina and Mario sat face to face. Seen clearly in the eyes of Anjani, Vina always tried to make Mario respond to the chat he made.

Ducky! The sound of a claw that managed to break due to being bitten hard by Anjani.

The jelly and diamond compact stop chewing. They both noticed Anjani who was eating the claw in the chicken noodles with maximum power. It was as if there was an outpouring of emotion flowing at his bite.

No comments from Meli and Diamond. The two exchanged lyrics, then followed the direction of Anjani's eyes. Meli and Berlian immediately knew that apparently Anjani was watching the end of the canteen table that there was Vina, Ken, and Mario there. Also seen the excitement of the chat at the cafeteria table occupied by Mario and others.

"Oh," said Diamond.

"Ehem." Meli.

"Cem-bu-ru!" spell Meli and Diamond together.

Instantly Anjani stopped chewing, and immediately looked towards Meli and Diamond.

"Hm? Who's jealous to see Vina and Mario?" ask Anjani.

Anjani was not aware that the question was precisely clarifying the allegations of Meli and Diamond, because Anjani mentioned the name Vina and Mario in it.

"Anjani, even though you rarely vent after the lesson njai same ustaza Nuri, but we know that you actually still have the same taste of Brother Mario," explained Berlian.

"Yes it's okay. It is a natural feeling when a human being falls in love. Like me to Dika," said Meli.

"Well?" Anjani is shocked because Meli discusses Dika in front of Diamond.

Anjani remembers her last conversation with Meli. No one else knows Meli's feelings for Dika except Anjani. However, that afternoon Anjani actually heard Meli bring Dika's name in front of the Diamond.

"Diamond know?" ask Anjani.

"Yes. This morning this year. That's just because Meli keceplosan," bright Diamond.

"Jay. Exactly," said Meli justifies.

"Fix, here. Each of us has a loved one." Suddenly the diamond said so.

Anjani chews her chicken noodles slowly, then swallows them. After that, Anjani asked because he still did not understand the words of Diamond.

"What does it mean to each have a loved one?" ask Anjani.

"Ehem. So-so. Mario-Anjani's chat. Shopped. Brother Ken for Diamonds. Juno and Alenna to CLBK. Em, tuh-tuh. The Vina who made you jealous just like Leon. Pas, deh." Diamond said it lightly.

Anjani was surprised by the list of couples who had just said Diamond. It felt like laughing too because of the Diamond's thought. Meli had even laughed first without hesitation.

"You may have an idea for a couple list, deh. Uh, but it'd be fun if it really happened." Meli responded before finally laughing.

Anjani who was initially surprised, in the end smiled as well. That afternoon in the list of couples who mentioned Diamond, realized or not Diamond had already admitted his feelings to Ken.

"Em, but a soul mate is God's secret. Whoever our soul mate will be, must be the best choice from Him," said Anjani.

"Again," said Meli and Diamond at the same time.

The lunch continues. Meli ate her meatballs voraciously. Diamonds eat its chicken soto with pleasure. While Anjani continued to eat chicken noodles claw with still thinking about the list of couples said by Diamond earlier.

Then, who is the mate Mbak Bida who has been given a bouquet of white roses by Mario at that time? Will you be playing with Mario or anyone else? anjani's mind echoed again.

After lunch in the cafeteria, Vina bailed to the bathroom and told Ken and Mario to wait for her to return. However, Ken and Mario instead decide to leave without Vina's consent.

"Crazy, Bro." Ken started his conversation with Mario.

"Ups. Astarghfirullah's. I forgot that next to me there is ustaz. Ustaz Mario," said Ken.

"Hm." The word typical of a Mario appears again.

"Eh, but yes. Vina is looking too much for face. Keep the same Mario Dana Putra. Classmates to the same relationship you and Vina, Bro. For a long time it could be a trending campus," Ken guessed.

"Leave it, Ken. Don't think too much about it" said Mario as he continued to step towards the parking lot.

"Let how?" ask Ken.

"Let time answer all," replied Mario lightly.

Ken shrugged his shoulders. The conversation is over until Ken and Mario arrive at the parking lot.

Mario and Ken have no intention of going home, as both still have group work activities with some friends. Mario and Ken head for the parking lot to pick up something in their respective motorcycle seats. Mario picks up a box of ballpoints ordered by his group of friends. Ken took something else.

A small gift box wrapped neatly with navy color ribbons was in Ken's hands. He looked at the small gift with a smile.

"That's what you took?" ask Mario.

"Yoi. I love this to Diamond first, yes. I told my father a gift" said Ken.

"It's funny your little preppy plan, Ken. Just say it's a gift from you, in support of the change in Diamonds that are now hijab. It's a brooch, right?" Mario ensure.

Ken nodded. "Good idea. I met you at the gazebo, yeah. Assalamu'alaikum," said Ken.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Mario, then closed the seat again.

Mario is about to head to the gazebo, a place that has been agreed for group work with his friends. However, Mario's footsteps stopped because he saw Anjani in the parking lot.

Mario decides to approach Anjani. Seen by him, Anjani was picking up something in the motorcycle seat. Mario does not know what Anjani took from the motorcycle seat, because it looks only a medium-sized black crackle.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Anjani." Mario said hello first.

Anjani turned his head, and was a little surprised that the one who greeted him was Mario.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," Anjani replied softly, and was still a little surprised.

"For a long time no see" said Mario with a smile.

Anjani nodded, smiled, then agreed.

"Hehe, yes. Good news?" ask Anjani.

"Alhamdulillaah" answered Mario.

"Em, not busy? Where are you going after this?" ask Anjani.

Anjani asked so because Anjani felt that it was the right time to ask about Mbak Bida or Vina. However, Anjani so rethink to ask further, because Mario replied that he was busy.

"Lumayan busy. This wants group work with others" Mario replied.

"Em, after the busy group work?" ask Anjani again.

"After work the group immediately went to the flower shop. Want to buy a bouquet of roses" explained Mario as it is.

"Rose bouquet? For?" Anjani is really hunting Mario with a question.

Mario smiled and did not immediately answer Anjani's question.

Definitely for Madam Bida. Duh, how far is Mario's relationship with mbak Bida? inner Anjani.

"You already know the answer, Anjani. You can guess who the flower is for" said Mario without fading his smile.

Shaman, here. How many times has Mario guessed my mind? Well, the flowers are really for Mbak Bida, right. Huhuhuhu, Inner Anjani.

"Eye, Mario. What exactly is your relationship de ...." Anjani's words are interrupted by Vina.

"Hey, Anjani. Why are you here? Want to find a chance to get close to Mario?" ask Vina.

Vina immediately took a standing position beside Mario. Vina immediately smiled sweetly at Mario, then looked back at Anjani.

"Astaghfirullah's. I don't mean it that way." Anjani defended herself.

"Ah, alesan aja lu. Tell me you're still crazy about Mario and ngarep could be again." Vina's getting gasier.

"Vina! Watch your talk! Azaghfirullah." Anjani was provoked by the accusations from Vina.

Mario feels a different atmosphere there. Vina and Anjani have clearly been embroiled in a quarrel.

"Hufts. Sook alim you!" vina's taunts further cornered Anjani.

"Enough, Vin. Stop that!" exciting Mario.

Mario intends to mediate so that Vina and Anjani do not fight anymore. However, the effort did not go well. Vina just became.

"Emang reality is that. Anjani emang still ngarepin love from you. Okay, Mario. Now try to choose. More beautiful where? Vina or Anjani?" ask Vina.

Anjani repeatedly istighfar. It was completely inconceivable that he was caught in a fight with Vina.

Mario still hasn't responded. No answer from him yet.

"OK, no need to answer. It's definitely prettier Vina," Vina said with her PD. "One more question and you have to answer, Mario. Which would you choose as a lover, me or her?" ask Vina seriously.

Astarghfirullah's. Why did Vina get this far, anyway? What was wrong with Vina? inner Anjani.

Connect ....

Who will Mario choose? Vina, Anjani, or not both?
