"Assalamualaikum," Nadia kissed Ainun's cheek and chose to sit beside Ainun. Today was their first breakfast after Joseph's wedding.
"Waalaikum salam" answered everyone.
Umm Kalsum looked at his daughter who only took bread for breakfast. "Dear tumben breakfast with bread ?".
"Udah is late Ummi, I have a thesis consultation today. Later eat on campus," Nadia put a piece of bread in her mouth.
"Ummi get you ready, son," Umm Kalsum was about to stand up to get a rice box for Nadia.
"No need for Ummi, I'm late. This was about to go," Nadia drank the milk that had just been poured in her glass.
Nadia greeted Ummi, Abi, Yusuf and Mentari and kissed Ainun again. He said hello and goodbye. Ojek his order has come.

Nadia ran towards the lecturer's room, there was a sense of worry if the lecturer did not have the room. Because today the lecturer must lecture at the post-graduate campus.
Nadia arranged her breathing before knocking on the door before her.
"Assalamualaikum, sorry ma'am did Prof. Zubair's in his room ?" nadia asked after entering the Dean's room. He questioned the existence of his guidance counselor to staff who were not far from the door.
"Waalaikum salam, are you Nadia Safira ?" Instead of answering, the staff asked questions.
"Yes ma'am" replied Nadia with a smile that adorned her face.
Just now the staff wanted to answer, suddenly someone knocked on the door and entered. The smile that adorned Nadia's pretty face seemed to disappear after seeing who entered.
"Are you Andika Pratama ?" The staff then asked Andika.
Yes, the person who just entered was Andika. The person Nadia wanted to avoid.
"Yes ma'am," Andika replied as she glanced at the girl beside her.
"Pak Prof said, you were told to go to the Post-Graduate campus to see him. From now on he waits for you, next time do not be late, thank God Mr. Prof still wants to accept your thesis," said the staff while tidying up the file on his desk.
"Then we say goodbye first ma'am," Andika said, her eyes glancing at Nadia as if hinting the girl follow her out.
Nadia also said goodbye, she took her phone to order an ojek online. Nadia could only exhale violently after seeing the position of the online projectors who were none close to their current location.
Nadia walked to the campus gate, there was a branch there. His footsteps came to a halt when a motor suddenly stopped in front of him.
"Let's go up, rather than getting late. Our goals are the same, so we better get there." Andika offers Nadia a ride, when else can be in contact with the jutek girl, he thought.
Without answering Nadia went straight up, for the sake of the script he had to throw his ego away. Nadia chose to sit a bit behind, she did not want any touch between them. Andika just smiled behind her helmet.
"Do you want to fall ? Hold dong, you will fall into the limelight of people again," he said with a sly smile. In his heart he wished Nadia would embrace him.
"Then the road is very difficult anyway, anyways the road is slow," replied Nadia tightly.
"Eh, I just told you to hold on instead of hugging me so what's wrong. For your safety as well. Yes already if you don't want to," Andika immediately squeezed his bike suddenly made Nadia almost fell and reflexively he held Andika's shirt. A wide smile adorned Andika's handsome face behind the helmet.
During the trip there was no conversation between the two, they were at a loss as to what to talk about. The two are also struggling to regulate their heart rate which this time works twice. Without feeling the Andika motor has entered the Post-Graduate campus area, the two immediately rushed to find the Prof lecture room. Zubair.
"Assalamualaikum Prof, sorry we came late Prof," said Andika, as a man it was a bit strange if Nadia who spoke on behalf of them.
"Waalaikum greetings, I understand young people now must take the opportunity to date first and take care of others," said Prof. Zubair while laughing. All the Post-Graduate students who were dominated by the Fathers laughed.
"Sorry Prof we are not from dating, I was a bit late to wake up Prof," said Nadia explained the reason she was late, she did not want to raise rumors about them. Moreover, the man who was beside him was famous as the True Player.
"Hahahaha, even though you guys are compatible. If you were dating her, you would have turned Andika into a better man. There is no reason to go out looking for love. Is it Dika ?" Prof's Stare. Zubair now turns to Andika, his uncle who he already understands very well the lunge in the world of romance.
"Hahahaha, well I believe in you guys. Just keep it there, I'll learn it first. Tomorrow you take it in my room, and I hope you're not late anymore" Now Prof. Zubair spoke firmly.
Andika and Nadia then say goodbye, they immediately rushed up from the room.
"Let's go up, it's raining. I'll take you, "take Andika. He could not have left Nadia alone.
"No need, thank you for the invitation. I'd better look for a shaggy ojek in the front," Nadia softly refused. This time he spoke softly with the man. For him this time, there was no reason for him to speak ketus.
"You're so stubborn, I said go up. Some of you do not see, soon it rains, the sky is dark," Nadia noticed the sky that does look dark, she thought for a moment. There's no harm in him riding, after all it looks like it will be difficult to get an ojek in this weather.
Andika smiled satisfied after Nadia rode on the bike, she did not immediately run the bike. As if understanding what Andika meant, Nadia immediately held the man's shirt. Andika directly runs the motor.
Only a few moments, suddenly the motor stopped. "***, why it runs out at a time like this anyway," said Andika, after realizing the gasoline runs out.
"What's up ?" Nadia asked, after getting off the bike.
"I'm sorry Safira, I can't seem to deliver you. I'm out of gas, and it's gonna be raining. You better take a taxi."
"No, I'll accompany you here. I can't possibly leave you alone" Nadia refused Andika's request.
Whether he was conscious or not, his words made Andika's feelings warm up. Just this time, there was a girl he had been accompanying him at a time like this. If it was another girl then she would happily leave Andika. But unlike Nadia, he still accompanies Andika.
"We should find a shelter while waiting for Bagas, I had contacted him to bring me a bottle of gasoline," Invite Andika, without saying Nadia followed the man in front of him.
Not long after, it rained heavily. Fortunately, where they stopped there was an empty building, they could take shelter in front of the building.
Andika looked at Nadia who was getting cold, slowly she opened the jacket that covered her body and then attached it to Nadia. Nadia flinched with Andika's sweet treatment, she turned her head and her bead eyes met again with Andika's beautiful eyes. The two fell silent with the position and the distance getting closer.
Andika subconsciously looked at Nadia's big lips, the lips that had made it difficult for her to close her eyes. He wanted to go back to peeling, but his common sense still worked. Andika did not want Nadia to consider him a jerk. Even though the truth is like that.
Not wanting to be caliph, Andika immediately turned her back. Both of them immediately improved their position, somehow the heart of both returned to work twice as much.
My heart, I can't compromise first. Inner Nadia. He tried to normalize his heartbeat.
What the hell, if it's this close to her my heart is always tight. I may have a heart attack nearby for some time. Thought Andika. He immediately chose to stand some distance away from Nadia. They fell silent again, no one would open their voices.
Not long after, the rain and Bagas came carrying gasoline.
"The date's fucked up, huh, bro ?" Temptation Bagas when handed a bottle of gasoline to Andika.
"We weren't dating, we were from meeting with Prof. Zubair thesis consultation. Because of the hurry earlier, I did not pay attention to my motor gasoline and ended up like this," explained Andika. Bagas could only laugh at his best friend, his eyes now turned to look at the sweet girl who was nearby.
Well-favoured. Gumang Bagas who can still be heard by the two people nearby.
"Eh, beware that you mess with her," Andika unconsciously snapped at Bagas.
"Woi, relax bro. I just admire the creatures of God, I am not interested in seizing the property of others let alone my own friends," continued Bagas with a cry. A red tinge immediately adorned Nadia's beautiful face.
Andika realized with her words, she immediately explained her meaning.
"She's not mine, I just don't want you to deal with a cold, jutek girl like her. You will definitely regret," said Andika who without realizing it had hurt Nadia.
Bagas was only silent, he knew that between the two people nearby he loved each other but they did not realize it or they tried to cover it up. It seems like he has to do something for the sake of his best friend. A meaningful smile now adorned his handsome face.
