Gibran returned to his campus this morning. The lecture has started again. Gibran this morning was busy taking care of correspondence for his internship. He plans to accept Papa Gita's offer for an internship at his company.

Gibran and Gita have not contacted each other since they last met at the Gita boarding house. Gibran felt that it took time to think clearly, as well as the Gita.

Gibran was still busy in the campus study program, without realizing that Alvin who was also in the room was watching him sharply.

"Where is your relationship with the Gita?" alvin suddenly approached Gibran and asked him to speak.

Gibran immediately stopped tidying up his files and turned to Alvin who was standing next to him. "Well." replied Gibran briefly.

"You guys are dating?" ask Alvin again.

"What's important to you to know?" ask Gibran. He really does not like Alvin always wanted to know the status of his relationship with the Gita.

"Of course it's important, if you have nothing to do with the Gita, it doesn't matter if I approach it?" ask Alvin.

Gibran snorted annoyedly at Alvin's desire to get close to Gita. "If you approach him, he won't." replied Gibran confidently.

"Haha...! We'll see." challenge Alvin with confidence. "Don't forget I'll soon graduate from college and work, Gita will definitely choose a truly established and certainly more responsible." continued Alvin still with his confidence.

Gibran stared hard at Alvin. It felt like he wanted to punch Alvin in the face with his hand. But considering they were on campus, Gibran dropped his intentions. Gibran took his files and walked away leaving Alvin still smiling himself.

Gibran hasn't seen the Gita today on campus. Gita should also be busy preparing files for today's work practice. Gibran heads to the cafeteria and finds Intan and Lala sitting together in the canteen.

"Hi.." Gibran said to Intan and Lala. Gibran took a seat across from them.

"Hi Gibran.." said Lala back.

"What's wrong?" ask Intan quickly. He is confused as to why Gibran came to them without the Gita beside him.

"Emmm... Which gita?" gibran asked hesitantly.

"Isn't it usually the same as you?" ask Intan.

"Emmm... Today no." replied Gibran.

"I haven't seen him since this morning" said Lala. "I think he's the same as you. You guys are like glue, stick on. Hahaha.." continued Lala mocked Gibran. Gibran smiled at Lala's throats.

"You got a problem?" tanya Intan immediately shot.

"Nothing" replied Gibran briefly. "Oh yeah, where do you work?" ask Gibran again to Intan and Lala to divert the conversation.

"If I am on the site of the construction of a sports building near the campus, because it is difficult if again pregnant gini continues to have to go back and forth." replied Intan.

"If you are, La?" ask Gibran to Lala.

"It looks like he's in the government office. I'm the same Gita has made a pact to be together." replied Lala.

"What's? Where's?" ask Gibran again.

"You don't know? In the government office near my house. Coincidentally his office is also not too far from Gita's house." replied Lala.

Gibran is unaware of the Gita's plans. They were too busy arguing about their relationship to the point of not talking about anything else.

"That's the Gita" Lala said as she pointed behind Gibran. Then Lala immediately called out to him, "Gita...!" shout Lala. Gibran fell silent and did not turn away in the slightest.

Gita heard Lala's call and turned to her. He walked up to him and did not see Gibran behind him. Arriving near the table, Gita only realized Gibran's presence. He immediately sat down on the empty seat next to Gibran as there was no other choice.

Gibran and Gita have been quiet since the Gita arrived. Intan and Lala who saw the two of them were silent as if they knew something was wrong and something must have happened.

"You were looking for Gibran earlier, Git" Intan said.

"You two suddenly thrush huh? From that diem-dieman like that?" lala said with a small laugh.

"They're more likely toothache. Hihihi.." said Intan also giggled.

Gibran smiled at Intan and Lala, while Gita remained silent.

"I am first ya." Gibran said a sudden farewell to make them all surprised, especially Gita.

Gibran moved out of his chair without even seeing the Gita. Somehow he didn't want to talk to Gita for a while because he didn't want to argue with her anymore.

The Gita felt as sad as Gibran thought it did not exist. He was really disappointed at Gibran's sudden and cold attitude towards him. 'Did he really give up and not fight for me anymore?' the inner Gita in the heart made her forehead wrinkle thinking about it.

Intan and Lala looked at Gita in surprise.

"So... What's up?" ask Intan to Gita who is still silent. Gita did not answer Intan's question. He seemed to be deep in thought.

"Gita...!" call Lala half-screaming making Gita wake up from her daydream.

"Yes?" sahut Gita soon.

"What else is it? Are you the same as Gibran?" ask Intan with his worries.

"There's nothing" replied Gita slowly.

"Where were you from? How come you just came to campus? You've been handling the paperwork for the internship yet?" cecar Lala with his various questions to the Gita.

"I woke up late" replied Gita. He really woke up today. Last night the Gita couldn't sleep because she thought too much about her problem with Gibran.

"Tumben, you're usually on time. You will always be organized." said Intan. "You got a problem?" tanya Intan is still curious about Gita.

"No, Ntan. I was just exhausted yesterday." replied Gita looking for an excuse. "Oh yes, I went to the study first" said Gita.

Gita immediately went from the presence of Intan and Lala. He walked to the study and when he got there he immediately took care of the completeness of the file. Not long after, he finished taking care of it and getting the files straight.

"Hello, Git." said Alvin as Gita prepared.

"Yes, Brother?" sahut Gita who is still sitting in front of the prodi bench.

"Practice work huh?" ask Alvin then.

"Yes, Brother. It's over." replied Gita.

"Where are you going?" ask Alvin again.

"Emmm..." Gita started thinking. "There is no schedule for college anyway, most want to go home" replied Gita.

"We're out for a while yuk, we're eating out. Today is my birthday." take Alvin to Gita.

"Serious Brother Alvin's birthday today? Well, congratulations, sister." said Gita congratulated.

"Hehe... Yes. I'll buy you, okay?" take Alvin again.

Gita was wondering whether to accept Alvin's invitation or not. He thought, he had often rejected Alvin's invitation. But if Gibran sees him with Alvin, he'll be angry. 'Ah, Gibran does not care about me anymore.' Inner Gita in heart. Anyway today is Alvin's birthday, how about this time he please Alvin by giving him a small gift in the form of receiving his invitation?

"Alright." said Gita finally accepted Alvin's invitation.

Alvin smiled as he heard Gita's reply. Ultimately, his efforts were not in vain. Alvin immediately invites Gita to go to the motorcycle parking lot and takes her away.

Meanwhile, from a distance, someone looks at Gita and Alvin. Gibran grasped the blank paper in his hand and clenched it. He felt very annoyed by what he had just seen before his eyes.
