"Let me drive you home."

"No need sir, no bother."

"If you two don't call me sir."

"It's disrespectful."

"Call me reihan."

"Can it not diminish my modesty?"

"I told you to, but if you're both like this you should call me mas."

"Well, reihan."

"Let's go home. I'll take you home."

I followed him to the parking lot where his car was.

"What is not a hassle ?"

"Just relax, it just so happens that the direction of our house is the same, I also have to go home first before going to campus."

"Mas reihan's still in college?"

"I'm taking the S2."

"Oh. Wouldn't the Reihan chick be upset if the Reihan guy drove the other girl home?"

"I'm single and free."

"Times?"

"You don't believe it?"

"Maybe."

"I told you I was waiting for a girl."

I kept quiet, looking at the road we were walking. Seeing the passing of vehicles that increasingly crowded the streets in this city. Increasingly rampant pollution damages the naturalness of the air that should be cool and fresh.

In my heart I speak for myself, (i must focus on school not being able to date, I must remember my mother's last advice. I have to keep my grades good and satisfying. Yeah, that's what I have to do).

"Cista."

"I've loved you since I helped you last year. Will you be my lover?"

"Mas reihan, I'm sorry, I can't. I need to focus on my education. Ii'm sorry. "

"I'll wait until you want to."

"Don't, there must be a lot of people out there who want to be your lover."

"But I want you."

"I'm 14 and I have to go to school."

"Let me wait for you."

"Whatever reihan. That's your right, but if you're tired of waiting please stop and find another girl who won't keep you waiting."

"I've decided I'll wait for you."

We looked at each other for a few minutes before I opened the car door and got off.

"Thank you for taking me home. "

"Either. See you tomorrow."

I put my foot into the room. I changed my clothes before reaching for my diary.

Dear diary

***I finally get to see him again. With him helping me from the uncivilized actions of a Rian. Turns out his name is Reihan, he's 8 years above me, he's 22 now. I'm happy to see her again, even meeting her every day because she's my homeroom teacher. I like her, I like her a lot but I have to turn her down because I feel that I am not a good date yet and that being her boyfriend I need to focus on my education. I will only make him my encouragement in studying for now. I don't know if he'll wait for me for the next few years.

Thank you for helping me at that time***.

Pov Reihan's

Cista Princess Handoyo, the little girl I had been looking for the past year, I finally found you at my internship . Yes, she's the girl who made me unable to sleep well since last year, she always comes in dreams and haunts my days. I fell in love with that little girl.

I knew him last year when I attended a reunion at my Junior High School. At that time she was singing so melodiously on stage, I could not stop looking at her, her beautiful face, her thick and silky eyelashes and her voice that was no less melodious than that of a professional singer, the behavior is also very polite . It's all capable of making my heart shake, my heart beating so hard. I fell in love with a little girl .

I followed him as he got off the stage. But I lost track of him, I kept looking for him all over the school. Suddenly I heard a voice asking for help from the direction of the warehouse, I went there, I found a student who was about to be harassed by a student. I beat that student to save a student's honor. After all the students escaped from before me, I saw the face of the student, it turned out that she was the person I had been looking for. I carried him, to the UKS room.

She looked so devastated by the incident, she kept crying. I forgot to ask her what her name was. Until I asked my other friends, it was my own boyfriend who told me that he was the daughter of Mr. Handoyo, his name was Cista . She was a Grade IX student who was very popular because of her beauty and brain intelligence. My boyfriend said he was the younger brother of his friend Citra when Junior High School and High School first.

The more days I think about the girl, the more I want to meet her, I want to be closer to her but things are not possible because I have to go back to Bandung immediately for my education. So I could only keep thinking about it, until one day I caught my boyfriend cheating on me with my friend. I decided on it, then I decided to meet the girl named cyista after I graduated 3 months later.
