"Alhamdulillah.com relieved by this news, kok can ya suddenly spread on tv so disgrace Jidan hahaha family"

"Karma kali, yes I have closed the drill! "

"Eh wait, from yesterday I felt lo ngehindar fitting I asked about Nida, why? is there something you guys are covering up? "

"E-don't! there's none. "

"So, why do you always not answer me just how did Nida's response see the video from me? "

"Pan, N-nida just said you should focus on learning the same there, we all miss your piano play. Cepet back, make us proud, we are always faithful doain and wait for you! Nida just b-say that Pan! "

Doni is forced to lie to Rifan because there is no other reason to avoid it.

"It's just that doang? uh huh? there are no other frills what cake after I say long times wide so, no morals emang si Nida, can-can nyuekin gw sampe like this! hahaha. "

"Hehehe. " Donny tried to laugh.

After informing Rifan, Doni and Lily return to their usual routine. Lily is busy with her script and Doni hastily gets a job ng-mc at the inauguration of his friend's father's office.

A year has passed.

The year was so heavy without any news from Nida, even Rifan felt Nida was completely lost from her life. There was no encouragement or just a birthday to him. Though with great difficulty he tried to apologize even though he did not know for sure the mistake that had been made by making a video on Nida's birthday.

Yes, it's Rifan's birthday.

"SURPRISES! "

Rifan who was staring blankly at his laptop screen was shocked by the arrival of Novia.

"Novia haduhhh You almost gave me a heart attack! " said Rifan weakly while holding his chest.

"Hihi sorry, happy birthday Fandi. This is special for you! "

Novia said she offered a heart-shaped chocolate cake complete with the words "HAPPY BDAY FANDI"

The last year Rifan was so close friends with Novia, with patience Novia always trying to get Rifan's attention. Unfortunately, Rifan is insensitive to Novia's efforts.

"How do you know it's my birthday? it's already once a night Nov!" Rifan glanced at the wall clock that showed almost 01.00 in the morning.

Rifan does live in a house with some of his male friends but with the condition of the house is quite spacious they inhabit their own rooms and only gather at certain times only.

"You don't need to know that, now you have to make a wish, then blow this candle out before it melts, let's hurry! "

Rifan closed his eyes tightly. Take a deep breath.

*Thank you God, please,

For the pleasure of age, the health benefits that you have given.

There is not much I ask, God, I want to go home for a while

Just hugging grandma

And

Meeting Nida.

This busy schedule makes me not have much time to always contact them via phone.

Aamin*bind*.

"Fffwuuuhhh! "

"Yeyyy! "

"Did you know we'd be given a week off? "

"Huh? I don't know Nov. Holidays in what order? it's not that we have to pursue the target to complete our education by the end of the year, can't we just relax?"

"Yes, but before we get preoccupied with heavier classes that are more draining later we are allowed to return to our respective countries after all we have even a year right here . Let's go back to your country!"

"To Indonesia? you want to come with me back to Indonesia ?"

"Yes, can't you? why can't you? " ask Novia getting more demanding.

"E-ee b-can. "

"Well, can I stay tonight?"

"Huh? wh-what? m-stay? mmmm"

Rifan just scratched his nape and smiled wrongly.

"Nov can I have it?" Rifan ventured to reveal the question he had saved himself.

"Of course, just ask. " Novia invites Rifan while eating the cake that is being cut.

"Do you think I'm not like a man?"

Novia was stunned confused at Rifan's question. Stop chewing and look at Rifan with a question mark.

"No, that's not what I meant" replied Rifan nervously defending himself.

"Aaa just relax, I understand Fandi. Maybe you're like this because of your beliefs, right? isn't your religion prohibiting people from drinking alcohol then yes like my male friends in general who like to hire paid women just for fun, right like that? "

Again Rifan scratched his nape at Novia's answer.

"Do you not want to eat this cake, it's delicious! open your mouth aaaa! "

Novia who had just devoured Rifan's birthday cake seemed not to pay much heed to Rifan's questions.

Instead he intended to feed Rifan.

"Later, why did you know about my religion? "

"Okay, maybe because my grandfather was a Muslim! "

Rifan just smiled looking at Novia who continued to devour the chocolate cake that he brought himself.

*At least here I have a friend as good as you Nov, although we are not one belief but you are very good.

Ehh wait wait! if there's a chance I should get to know you to Doni*.

"Thank you, Novia, you want to be my friend."

It hurts so much to hear Rifan say, Novia really hopes her relationship with Rifan will be more than just a friend. But he again tried to revive himself, how could Rifan reciprocate his feelings. Rifan is a religious man and seems to have someone special in his heart.

"Okay, I'm full. I'm going home! "

"Let me take you!"

"My house isn't far from here, there's no need for Fandi."

"Come on, I won't let a beautiful woman walk by herself these nights! "

"really? am I pretty? "

"Of course, if you look at you while closing your eyes hahaha! "

"It's so annoying for you Fandi. "

After returning home from delivering Novia, Rifan stored the cake from Novia into the refrigerator. He just took a little chocolate cream to taste the cake that he said was delicious. Clean your face and position yourself to sleep immediately.

"Going home? hmmm but my savings are enough! "

He said to himself staring at the ceiling of the room.

Novia: we'll leave the day after tomorrow, I'll book you a ticket. Let me buy it, just consider it your birthday present from me. I'll stay at the hotel for a few days with dady, I happen to have business there too. You will have to take me for a walk. Promise that!

"Yes Allah was very satisfied with the prayer of the servant, thank God the servant was sent home to Indonesia, free again, thank God" said Rifan girang while raising his hands and then cupping them to the face.

*Mr,

I'm going home

Are you waiting

While your old news didn't reach me

Wait, hold,

Any minute.
