"Such a sudden break up again?" the Gita protests heard Gibran wanted to break ties for the last time. During this time, Gibran always asked for a break up from his girlfriends before Lodya.

"I want to be insyaf." replied Gibran seriously.

"Haha...!" Gita laughed at Gibran's reply.

Gibran glanced at Gita paying attention. 'Laughter Gita is so funny.' Gibran's inner self. "Do you not believe?" ask Gibran later.

"No." answered Gita. "You can't live without a boyfriend" she continued.

"I don't want to date anymore. Yes, at least, not in the near future" Gibran said.

Gita thought for a moment. "No way, I can't believe it." replied Gita shaking her head.

"Why not?" ask Gibran astonished.

"You're used to having women accompany you, all the time, every time. I think it would be very difficult to change everything that has become a 'habit' for you." explained Gita makes Gibran singly smile.

"I'm serious." replied Gibran briefly. Actually Gibran just wants to set his heart. During these few weeks her mind was in turmoil, she suddenly felt no interest in dating anymore. He was tired of just having that kind of relationship. This time he just wanted to find someone he really loved. He wants to have a serious relationship and of course it is fun to live.

"I still don't believe it" said Gita firmly with her thoughts.

"Where do we bet?" ask Gibran to offer Gita.

"What order?" ask Gita back.

"If after I break up with Lodya, I can last for six months not dating, you have to be willing to fulfill whatever I want." Gibran challenged with a serious face.

"Haha... !No need six months later." replied Gita with a laugh, he thought there would be no way Gibran could survive singles for that long.

"Emmm..." Gita thought for a moment. "All right, I think it's been three months. If you can stay that long, you win. But if you lose, then you must fulfill whatever my request. Anything!" challenge Gita back with a convincing tone.

"Well, but only one request. How's it?" gibran asked as he extended his hand offering Gita a hand.

"Deal...!" the Gita immediately accepted Gibran's handshake.

After lunch, Gibran drove Gita home.

Monday at the Technical College...

Intan, Lala, and Gita are gathered in the campus study room. They promised to meet to discuss college assignments, where they were in a group.

"So what's the conclusion, guys?" ask Gita and Lala.

"Emmm... So in development, in addition to having to pay attention to building quality and work safety, must also pay attention to environmental impacts that of course affect the survival and balance of the ecosystem of life." answered Gita suggested.

"Agreed...!" sahut Lala agrees.

"You've agreed all along, La. Add another idea dong." protest Intan.

"Haihi.. What yes? Gita answered at length earlier, Ntan." replied Lala with a smile to Intan.

"Lala, Lala...!" sahut Gita laughed a little at Lala's reply.

"Yes, finally finished this paper" said Intan relieved because he had completed his group task.

"We still have class at 10:15" said Gita, glancing at her watch, which shows the time at 09:30.

"Ngopi in the canteen yuk." take Lala to his friends.

"Can.." answered Gita and Intan compact.

Gita, Intan, and Lala immediately went to the cafeteria. They ordered their own drinks.

"So what were you doing this weekend? tanya Gita opened the conversation after taking a seat across from her two best friends.

"I'm dating Ka Fajar of course." replied Intan excitedly.

"Cieeee.." said Gita and Lala together.

"Enak has a girlfriend" Lala said in response.

"It's good there's also nggaknya. If I'm happy a lot but. Hehehe.." replied Intan happily. Gita smiled at Intan's reply.

"You're coming home, La?" tanya Intan later.

"No Git, my mother's father came here. He said they want to clean the house. They don't believe that me and my sister will settle down. So they sort of became the superintendent. I can't walk anywhere." replied Lala snorting uninterestedly. "You're home, Git?" lala asked Gita.

Lala and Gita are from the same town. They have been friends since High School and are in the same school. Now Lala and her sister live in a house that her parents bought specifically for the two of them for where they lived during college.

"Oh yeah, Git. Yesterday, Gibran was at my house, he was at our high school yearbook. Luckily I had it in my house here" Lala told Gita.

"Yearbook?" ask Gita wonder. "Oh.." Suddenly Gita realized something.

"Why, Git?" ask Lala back.

"So he knows from the yearbook?" muttered Gita quietly but could still be heard by Intan and Lala.

"You what?" tanya Intan was curious, as was Lala.

"Emmm..." Gita started stringing words. "Or my home address." replied Gita. "Saturday morning Gibran came to my house." continued Gita.

"What?" tanya Intan and Lala were shocked together.

"So he's cutting down on the book to find out your home address?" lala asked.

"Maybe.." answered Gita briefly.

"Why didn't he just try? I know where your address is." Lala said in surprise.

"Hehehe... She was embarrassed times." replied Gita softly laughing.

"But..why did he come to your house?" tanya Intan was curious.

"He's sorry." replied Gita.

"What's wrong with him?" ask Intan again more curious.

"Emmm..." Gita thinks. He was confused as to what to answer. It was impossible for him to tell his two best friends about Gibran's sudden kiss to his cheek. "There is, a small problem, it's done. Hehe.." replied Gita later.

"The time of small problems until nyamperin you to the house of all? The journey is quite far." asked Intan again. This time he tried to interrogate Gita.

"Emmm. Udah ah, Gibran speaking period continues." replied Gita protest.

"You're like a dating guy, use that cramming event?" tanya Intan again continues to pry Gita.

"No, Ntan. I'm not snooping. Just a little upset, but we're better." replied Gita. "Yes already. It's rich enough we talk about Gibran." continued Gita pleaded.

"By what?" a man's voice speaks to the Gita, who turns out to be Gibran. Gibran took a seat next to him and immediately took a drink of Gita and immediately gulped it down.

Gita is shocked by Gibran's presence. Lala and Intan too. Intan scrunched his forehead, curiosity grew in his mind. While Lala smiled shyly at Gibran and Gita.

"Eh... Just drink it!" exclaimed Gita saw Gibran almost finish his coffee.

"What was that talking about?" ask Gibran again without responding to the Gita protests.

"There's nothing." replied Gita immediately.

"I heard you say my name?" gibran asked again, this time she shifted her body to sit opposite the Gita.

"There's nothing, Gibran!" firmly Gita turned to Gibran beside her then turned to take a drink in front of her.

Gibran watched Gita for a moment. Gita was wrongly looked at Gibran in such a way, especially in front of his two friends who had been silent before were astonished to notice the gurgles of the two of them.

"This is your book, La. Thank you." Suddenly Gibran handed over the yearbook he had borrowed yesterday to Lala. He turned to Lala for a moment while handing over the book, then looked back at Gita again. Gita felt increasingly uncomfortable, he again sipped coffee that had actually been drunk.

"What are you doing in my yearbook, Gibran?" lala asked pretending to want to know, even though she already knew the answer.

"Oh... There's a mission, La. It's done yesterday." replied Gibran without turning his eyes away from the Gita.

"What mission? Like a detective, you?" ledek Lala's.

"The secret mission." replied Gibran again while still staring at Gita. Gita is getting it wrong. Suddenly the atmosphere became awkward and silent for a moment.

"It's 10 o'clock, to the yuk class." take Gita to her friends break the silence and awkwardness that occurred.

"Come.." replied Gibran immediately.

"Yuk.." replied Intan and Lala together.

Gita moved from her seat. Gita forgot her bag that was still lying on the chair.

"Your body." said Gibran, putting on a bag that the Gita had forgotten.

"Cieeee.." ledek Lala with a laugh. He could not bear not commenting on Gibran and the Gita.

Gita's face reddened in embarrassment to hear the tearing of her best friend. Gibran just smiled and walked along with the Gita.

I don't know why she likes Gita's red face so much. He liked everything Gita did. While the Gita is still confused by Gibran's treatment, though on the other hand, her heart is also happy to be close to Gibran, more than she has ever felt.
