Freya walked in leisurely steps, she was just about to enter a Japanese restaurant when a voice called out to her. He halted his steps, squinting as soon as he saw Vina standing behind him.
"Vina?"
"Freya." he hugged Freya, Freya returned his embrace. For a long time they let the clockwork seconds keep clinking while enjoying a hug.
Married to Rayn. Vina rarely hung out with them. Rayn does not limit any activities Vina, only Vina feels if it is better if she is at home waiting for the return of her husband from the office.
"Loe how are you?" Vina rubbed Freya's arm. The girl only smiled while shrugging both shoulders, as if showing what her current state was.
"We talked in the dalem, well." invite Vina who immediately got a nod from Freya. Both of them entered the restaurant and chose a strategic seat.
Ordering food and drink while continuing the conversation. The last time they met was on Vina's wedding day, it was only a short while because Freya hurriedly came home.
"Where's loe's college?"
"Yes, that. College is bad!" it is logical to think of Freya, imagining how her daily life spent boring time on campus.
"It's not good because there's no Agyan!" chirp Vina who got a nod of the head from Freya. Before long, their order came and the two began to devour the dish, pausing for a moment the chatter.
"Good house, huh?" ask Freya on the sidelines to eat. Vina was silent for a while, shrugging her shoulders as if she did not understand how to explain it.
Living together in a sacred bond with a stranger is not an easy thing to live despite loving each other. In reality, there are always disagreements, there are always misunderstandings, and there are always small things that invite debate.
That is why one must be willing to give in to maintain that sacred bond. Vina with Rayn was the same, they would often fuss if only Rayn did not succumb to her who did have a childish nature.
"The spice in the household is Macem-macem Frey."
"Not a storm?"
"Sometimes, anyway. But Rayn is the one who often cravs!" Vina nodded at the end of her sentence.
"Loe, that's stubborn!" freya sneer.
"Well, it's innate!"
Both of them laughed, enjoying the time that just kept going without feeling. "Married, tuh, not rich dating who can talk disperse at will. Little storm is natural, the name is also the human heart, 'nobody is the same." said Vinaa with the nature of adulthood.
Freya just nodded her head. Will she and Agyan experience the same? Staying under one roof with the sacred bond of marriage? Will they get to that stage?
"Loe's communication with Agyan is still smooth?"
"So far still!"
Vina who was sipping drinks squinted at Freya who was stirring up her drink.
"So far you mean?"
Freya did not answer. "Loe's not sure if you're going to keep communicating?" ask Vina again.
"Gue was just worried, if Agyan was really busy and forgot about me!" Freya smiled faintly. Honestly, he was worried about this. He fears Agyan is busy with his world there and forgets Freya slowly.
What if Agyan falls for the girls there?
What if Agyan was being nice to the mysterious girl there then the girl liked him and they cheated on Freya behind?
What if Agyan finds someone better than himself and then turns his back on Freya?
Agyan often sent her photos if she was on campus activities, and Freya often saw the women around Agyan. What if one of them is Agyan's dark boyfriend?
Freya hates this thought, but it's always the thing that's in her head. Especially if Agyan did not reply to the message from her.
"Long-distance relationships are complicated, Frey. The only weapons to survive, yes you have to trust each other."
Freya continued to ring Vina's words when they met at the restaurant. Now, he was in his room, it was late at night, but the chat from him had not received a reply from Agyan.
The young man had not called him either. Making Freya anxious and assuming things to him.
Even until late at night, Freya did not get any news from Agyan at all.

Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Agyan&Kevin
Then the people and the large and magnificent canteen crowd, with the classic modern design was like unable to shift the focus of Agyan.
"Damn it!" objurgation. His breath seemed to hunt irregularly after seeing the results of the photo shoot the girlfriend with a man on the cover of a famous magazine.
Agyan got up from there, ignoring the few girls who greeted him as he passed by them. Two months more being in this country made him get used to getting sweet greetings from girls who like Indonesian men. Moreover, it has visuals with amazing charm. But Agyan knows the limits, he has Freya there and it's impossible to betray the girl.
"Gyan, where are you going?" kevin asked, the Indo-Korean crossbreed man sitting in one department with him asked as Agyan passed their faculty building.
"Reverse to the apartment, there's no more class, right?" asked Agyan indifferently. The man holding the two women shrugged his shoulders. Wonderful to see Agyan's attitude.
With a feeling of annoyance, Agyan walked towards the gate. Honestly, he had a little trouble memorizing all the places in this campus. Everything was too big and confused him.
So far, Agyan only remembers the location of his faculty building, canteen, entrance gate and library. The rest, he often asked Steven's third girlfriend who was a senior in his department.
After bathing and changing clothes, Agyan grabbed the phone he had charged after returning from the campus. He calls Freya without thinking about the time difference between her place and Freya now, and she will disturb the girl's sleeping hours.
After three times connecting, he only got a response from there. "By."
"Kok the phone tumben at this hour?"
Spontaneous Agyan checked the clock on his phone. He clucked, at two in the afternoon. It means at Freya's place now at one in the morning. Given the difference in time Jakarta is 11 hours faster than Agyan place.
"You're clear about your latest magazine photo shoot!" Agyan was already burning with jealous flames and had to hear a clarification from Freya immediately.
"You seen?" the girl's innocent question almost made Agyan cursing rudely.
"look!"
"Who sent you?"
"Well, you don't have to know!" kekeuh Agyan without wanting to be cornered.
"I don't like being watched out, Gyan!"
"Whatever!"
"Do you get angry?"
"I'm kelp, By!"
"You don't understand me, what it's like to be jealous long-distance!"
"Cowok mana, anyway, who willingly girls are joined by other guys, friendly, face-to-face with other guys. What do you mean try?!"
"Inget, yeah. You, tuh, my fiancee!"
Agyan confirmed the word fiancee in his sentence, he looked frustrated. Talking as if only he was in a long distance relationship. Freya's position is the same as hers.
"Yang, danger, yeah. It's not just you who's in a relationship, it's me too!"
"Some, this is a magazine company's need. Dirly is also just my partner's replacement!"
"Ohh, her name is Dirly!" Agyan smiled cynically.
"You're exaggerating gini, anyway. I've never been angry you're often the same girls there!"
"I'm doing my job, Freya!"
"I work too, Agyan!"
Two stubborn people were maintaining their selfishness. Well it seems the third world war is about to start.
"Yaudah, stop being a model!"
"Can't!"
"Whatever!"
Agyan's breath was dusty, Freya at the end there was also just speechless. Agyan knew he had been rude, but really, the distance between him and Freya made him feel sensitive to the slightest change in the girl's attitude.
Moreover, he saw the results of Freya's photo shoot with a man who posed friendly. Which man will accept it?
"You know what that means, anyway, Gyan?" Agyan heard the girl's voice.
"That means you don't care about me!"
Agyan sighed. "Sorry I was rude. Sorry for interrupting your sleep!"
Agyan cut off the phone unilaterally. While there, Freya spilled her tears.
They have only been going through these difficult times for two months. In fact, the trust between the two gradually began to erode.
