A week had passed, but Aini had not yet answered Bagas' love statement. He dizzy seven circumference, how can he reciprocate the love of Bagas, while bang Baim has also previously stated the same thing but Aini also until this moment has not yet returned the reply.
"The heart turns out to be this drag?" thought Aini who was laying down on her bed. "What do I have to be, God? There were two good men approaching me, should I reject them both?" continued again.
Aini sat down to stretch her stiff muscles. For a long time he lay on his bed, but his eyes could not be closed. Time has shown at eleven o'clock at night, want to go to the terrace of the house to just look for the wind also feels impossible.
"Did I call Sara? He could solve the solution." Aini has taken a flat object that is on the nightstand, she has searched for Sara's name on her cellphone contact list.
"No. no. Not Sara! I was worried that he was not giving a solution, but instead mocked me all out," said Aini Lirih as she shook her head. "But who am I going to confide in? My only friend is not Sara?" thought again.
Aini walked back and forth around her small room while biting on the tip of her index finger. "Let's talk tomorrow with Sara, it's night too, Sara must be sleeping" he murmured.

The next morning, Aini intends to go to Sara's house to confide in her, but she delays having to help her mother's work first at home. During the holidays, Aini activities at home only help mothers or just read novels and surf in cyberspace.
"Mom, big brother go first yes," she said to the mother who was drying clothes.
"Where are you, brother?" ask Mother.
"To Sara's house, someone wants to talk about MAN (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri/SMA) school registration," explained Aini. He lied a little, but his main goal was to meet Sara to vent matters of the heart, although there is also a point about asking Sara about registration and admission requirements to MAN school. Sara did know about the MAN school that they will enter because her brother was also an alumni of the school.
"Hurry home, brother," mother asked.
"Okay ma'am," said Aini. The girl immediately stepped quickly towards Sara's house which was only a few different alleys from her house. But what he had in mind this time, he would pass Umi's house and did not rule out the possibility of meeting bang Baim there.
"Haa. that's right, there's a Baim bang," Aini muttered as she crossed Umi's house. There, Baim was busy holding a flat object in his hand. "May she not see me," Aini's inner. The little girl quickened her pace even half-running to avoid being seen by bang Baim. Although he had forgotten the past events, but he always tried to avoid because he was afraid if bang Baim asked about his feelings that did not get a reply from him.

"Well, that wasn't Aini?" asked Fahmi who just came out of the house. Earlier while in the doorway, Fahmi had a glimpse when Aini crossed their house. But because the girl walked quickly and lowered her gaze, so she did not know for sure it was Aini or not.
"Where?" ask bang Baim enthusiastically.
"That was just passing by." Baim immediately ran up to the fence of Umi's house to see his girl, but he did not find anyone there. Maybe Aini had entered the alley of Sara's house, so Baim could not see it anymore because Umi's house was on the side of the road.
"There's no one here," Baim's inner. He went back to his seat. There Fahmi already brought two glasses of warm tea for them to enjoy. "Are you lying?" baim said when he saw Fahmi sitting casually in his place.
"Astaghfirullah.. fortunately what if Fahmi lied?" Fahmi's Disputation.
"But I see no one!" lang Baim's.
"But Fahmi actually saw a girl like Aini crossing our house bang," said Fahmi reassured. "Maybe the girl who passed by had entered the alley in front of the road there, so you can't see her" continued Fahmi.
"It could be, because his friend Aini's house is in the front alley there," said Baim. Baim nodded his head. "Later on I'll just wait for him, hopefully I can meet you," Inner Baim.

It was only five minutes that Aini needed to get to Sara's house. Moreover, he had walked half-run, of course making it fast to arrive.
"Assalamu'alaikum." said Aini while knocking on Sara's door.
"Wa'alaikumsalam.." said Sara as she opened the door. "Eh, Aini, tumben play here?" sara asked after seeing Aini standing at her doorstep.
"So I can't play here?" aini Syndicate.
"Geez, you can do it. Come on in," take Sara.
"Anyone at home?" asked Aini when she saw Sara's house was so quiet.
"Yes, as always. My father and mother are working" answered Sara flatly. "We were talking in the room, and I hadn't finished putting clothes in the closet yet." Aini nodded and followed Sara towards her room.
"So what caused my best friend to come here so early?" sara asked curiously, because Aini if she comes will tell you first by phone and it always comes in the afternoon.
"Hmmm..." Aini sat down on the edge of Sara's bed that was filled with clothes there. It seems true that Sara was trying to put the clothes in her closet. "I'm..." Aini looked hesitant to say her heart.
"Why?" sara asked while taking some clothes that she wanted to arrange.
"I want to ask about registration at MAN school, what are the conditions?" the question even first came out of Aini's mouth, even though he did not want to say that.
"Related about registration, not anything else?" sara asked while playing her eyebrows teasing Aini.
"Are you there too?" tanya Aini switched the conversation. Now Aini's face looked nervous, as Sara seemed to know Aini's purpose to her home.
"Allah be, "" said Sara. "Eh, I'll take a drink first. What do you want to drink?"
"No hassle..! You are like everyone else! Wait here, I'll get you a drink and a snack." Sara had already gone into the kitchen after finishing her previous work. Aini surrounds Sara's room full of Korean artist posters. There was also their photo located on Sara's study table. Precisely the photo of the four of them who were in print a week ago when they went to snack with Amar and Bagas.
"I'm confused where to start Ra from" he said. Aini was holding a picture frame that contained pictures of the four of them there, she spoke to herself on the photo as if she was confiding with Sara who was in the picture.
"What's Ni starting?" sara asked who was suddenly behind Aini.
Aini jumped in shock. "When are you here?"
"Since you've held the picture," pointed Sara with her lips, and she placed the drinks and snacks on the table in front of Aini. "Have a drink first. That's what I made your favorite ice."
"Yes," said Aini, then he took a glass filled with orange ice and sat down on a chair near Sara's study table.
"What do you want to say? I know you're not here to ask about school enrollment, are you?" hatch Sara.
Aini who was drinking her ice immediately choked. "Sara seems to know very well my heart," Aini's inner.
"Jeez Aini, just drinking my homemade orange ice you could choke. Is that ice so good that you want to finish it?" sara Syndir.
"No, your ice is too acidic. Looks like less sugar, "let's Aini. Even though the ice tastes right, but Aini is looking for an excuse so that Sara does not suspect.
"All right, here let me add some sugar." Sara was about to take the glass from Aini's hand but was prevented by the girl.
"No need to add, I don't really like sweet ones either" Aini said.
"It was weird, he said he was lacking sugar, now he said he did not like sweet," Sara grumbled when she saw the annoying behavior of his best friend in his eyes.
"Hurry, tell me your problem. I know you're here to confide, right?" hatch Sara.
Aini swallowed her saliva slowly. She was so nervous when Sara really knew her heart. "I'm.."
"Yes me...?" sara's repeated following Aini's words.
"I'm going to the bathroom" said Aini. She is not ready to tell Sara everything, even though she is Aini's only friend. Finally she decided to go to the bathroom to reduce her nervousness.
Sara patted her forehead slowly. "Jeez, just wanted to go to the bathroom! That bathroom is in the kitchen on the right" explained Sara. When Aini went to the bathroom, Sara thought hard, what kind of thing Aini wanted to talk about.
"Oh, I remember!" sara said while picking her finger. "A week ago Bagas had said that he had shot Aini but had not been answered by the girl. Aini must be talking to me about this," Sara thought.
Aini was done from the bathroom and re-entered herself on the edge of Sara's bed. "Ra.." said as he watched Sara get busy with her phone.
"Sound done? So, what are you talking about?" ask Sara who pretended not to know.
"I'm confused where to start" said Aini.
"You're confused about having to answer YES or NO for Bagas?" Sara finally revealed what was on her mind. He was tired of having to beat around the bush waiting for Aini to reveal his heart. So he just went straight to the point.
Aini was silent and did not answer Sara's question. "Are you really my guess?" continued Sara.
"So what do you think I should do?" Finally Aini ventured to begin to reveal her heart.
"As I said, try it first. You won't know if you don't try" said Sara.
"So I'll just accept Bagas' love, will you?" aini asked and was taken in by Sara who was holding a novel book in her hand.
