"Not to cry. Do you want a drama in front of my parents to make it look like I'm wrong here? said cynical Vernon.
"If you don't know the real story you should ask me, not decide everything yourself" Sofia said in tears. It was very painful to hear Vernon's words. Sofia decided to leave home, she could not afford to face Vernon who was very cruel.
The next day, Sofia decides to skip Vernon's course. Sofia is still heartbroken by last night's events, she decides not to meet him.
As usual, Sofia went to the cafe in front of her campus. He meets Rey again. Actually Sofia is very lazy to meet Rey, only Sofia thinks it is better to meet Rey than to meet Vernon.
"Hi, we meet again a soul mate" said Rey when she saw Sofia.
"Oh hi too, and please stop calling a soul mate" Sofia replied lazily.
"Why? can't you believe we're both partners?"
"Stop bragging. Why are you always here anyway? never went to college what?" Sofia was astonished, every time she went to the cafe it was always meeting with Rey.
"I told you, we're both partners" Rey said confidently, making Sofia want to vomit to hear it.
"It's up to you, Rey. I'm lazy to argue with you".
Rey POV
Today I met him again. A beautiful girl I have long admired. I used to be nosy to him. That's all I do because he looks funny when he's angry. It's weird, but I like it. Surprisingly that feeling has never changed until now.
I knew he was gonna skip the lecturer's lecturer, nicknamed the killer. Maybe he hates that teacher, I don't know. I just wanted to see the girl for a little longer in close range.
POV Author
While eating, suddenly hp Sofia vibrates the sign sms in. He opened his phone and was surprised to see the name of the person who texted him. It was definitely Vernon.
Where're you? why not go back to my college? you don't want to graduate Sofia!. That's the message Sofia read. Sofia was so lazy to serve the text, but she was also afraid if she did not graduate Vernon's course. Finally, he decided to reply to Vernon's message.
Sorry I woke up late, sir. You said don't come in if it's too late. Sofia gives a reason that actually makes sense, because Vernon does not allow anyone to enter his class if it is too late.
Go to my room right now. The message from Vernon made Sofia surprised, because he really wanted to stay away from Vernon at this time. But again he was sent to Vernon's room now.
Duh how is this. Sofia murmured in her heart. Rey who looked at Sofia like she was confused finally asked "you why? how can you be confused? or maybe you're sick?"
"Oh, not Rey. Hmm, I'll go first. Got business. Bye" Sofia leaves Rey alone at the cafe with a question mark.
Arriving at Sofia in Vernon's room, Sofia just silently lowered her head. He didn't want to see Vernon's face.
"Why silence? you I am calling here to complete your sentence. Don't pretend to forget" Vernon said so coldly.
Sofia doesn't understand what Vernon is thinking. Sometimes he was nice, sometimes he was cold to her. Moreover, Vernon did not discuss the matter at all last night, as if nothing had happened between them.
Sofia finally decides to carry out her sentence. Sometimes he glanced at Vernon who was still struggling with the file on his desk.
"Have you eaten?" Sofia stopped writing because Vernon suddenly asked her.
"Ehmm, be.not yet sir" replied Sofia slowly.
Sofia is shocked to hear Vernon's invitation. He really did not understand Vernon's mind at all. Last night Vernon scolded her and now suddenly invites Sofia to eat. How quaint.
"No need, I just want to go home" Sofia replied immediately to her feet and wanted to get out of the room.
But Vernon held Sofia "no rejection" press Vernon, making Sofia afraid.
They decided to eat at the restaurant. During the journey in the car not a single word came out of their mouths. The journey felt very quiet.
Arriving at the restaurant, Sofia and Vernon eat in silence. Again the atmosphere at that time was very quiet. Until they finally finished eating and Vernon began to open the conversation. "What's your explanation?" asked Vernon looking at Sofia.
Sofia was confused by Vernon's question. "What explanation?".
"You all this time I misunderstood. So now explain, why do you say I misunderstood" Vernon replied.
Sofia sighed and began to recount all of her conversations with Dini. Vernon, who heard Sofia's story, stared fixedly at Sofia's eyes. He wants to find the lie in Sofia's eyes, but he doesn't find it.
Vernon was silent for a moment. He felt guilty that he had misunderstood Sofia. He did not know what to do because he was ashamed of his actions that decided everything unilaterally.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" that's all Vernon can say.
Sofia smiled at Vernon "I'll forgive, but you have to answer my question"
"About what?" ask Vernon.
"Where was Vernon who was once geeky and very gentle to me? and why did you kiss me twice? you know that was my first kiss" asked Sofia with a sharp look.
Seeing Sofia's sharp gaze made Vernon shudder in horror. He didn't know this girl he loved could be this scary.
"I changed because of you and about the kiss I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Vernon replied feeling guilty, he had not dared to declare his love to Sofia.
"Because of me? how come? and what did you say? khilaf? wow you're so outrageous m. Sofia was so upset.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were just using me this whole time just like any other friend. So I decided to lose weight and become a careless person so as not to be humbled and I'm really sorry about the kiss".
"I also apologize for making you misunderstand, and about kissing. ak. I'm also sorry to get carried away" Sofia replied shyly.
Seeing that made Vernon laugh. He did not expect Sofia to get carried away when he kissed her.
They chat while occasionally laughing considering their friendship, until finally Vernon decided to take Sofia home because it was dark.
"Thank you Ver, it's anterin me" Sofia said with a smile. Now he felt relieved, because there were no more problems between them.
"Tama-sama Fia. Tomorrow I pick you up, yes, we go to college together" asked Vernon who made Sofia's heart suddenly pound very fast.
"Ba..good" Sofia replied very pleased.
As Sofia and Vernon were chatting, there was suddenly a voice Sofia recognized calling her name.
"Sofia you're here apparently". Sofia looked at the source of the voice calling out to her, Sofia was surprised to see Rey appear before her.
