"Well, if we're a hobby, Ana also likes to read novels," said Lisa amazed. Syfa nodded and smiled, followed by Mala who also smiled. Unlike Gilang who sat next to Lisa, and from earlier his eyes did not look at Syfa.
After an unexpected meeting at the bookstore, they decided to have dinner together at one of the foodcourts in the mall. It was initially rejected by Gilang.
The flashback
"You guys, I'll wait in the car" said Gilang refused. "Damn..Brother Gilang ! Brother if you wait in the car, long time ago. I don't know if the girls gather anymore." Lisa replied trying to force. "Yes.gak papa...Brother too..." "Don't, come along ! what's the trouble anyway?" cut Lisa fast, and finally Gilang just nodded resignedly.
Flashback off
"Silver Miss !" Lisa hit Gilang's shoulder a little hard, resuscitating Gilang from her daydream.
"Eh yeah?" reply Gilang gelagapan. "Eyes in the guard, ngeliatin ukhti Syfa while daydreaming. Think of it as nothing?" accuse Lisa, making Syfa and Mala turned to look at the two in turn. "Nga-co !" said Gilang trying to relax, then stir the cappucino in front of him, and drink it.
"Oh yes Il, what are you busy with now?" tanya Syfa started the chat. He tried to eliminate the awkwardness between himself and Gilang. Gilang put the cup back to the table, "I still want to continue S2 if," replied Gilang. "Well, cool.." praise Syfa, make Gilang smile knot. "What degree?"
"Law, proceeding from that S1,"
"Why not find a job first?"
"Its trouble If, yes rather than I wait a long time, mending me continue my studies first."
Syfa is just mangosteen. "You yourself are busy what If?" ask Gilang. "I wrote the article Il" replied Syfa, a little nervous. Somehow he was still awkward in this situation .
"In the meantime, so all the news in the status of WA ukhti that, um nulis?" ask Lisa to make sure. Syfa smiled, "Na'am ukhti." he said softly, "Well, cool. Ana once read, very good writing." praise Lisa sincerely. Gilang who knew nothing about it, just stared at Lisa and Syfa alternately. "Ana is still learning ukhti, this is still a work practice kok." replied Syfa felt bad, because in praise is excessive.
"In what media is If?" ask Gilang finally, somehow he was increasingly curious about the life of Syfa. "Samudra.com, Il," replied the clumsy Syfa, Gilang is just a mangosteen.
"Oh yeah, what time is it?" mbak Mala asked suddenly, making Syfa immediately see his watch, it was already 8 pm. "Astagfirulah...!" pekiknya, "Hehehe, afwan everything, I think I'm the same Madam Mala should go home," he said sungkan. Gilang who half did not understand the Syfa language, suddenly turned to look at Lisa. "Sorry brother, I mean," replied Lisa who seemed to understand the meaning of Gilang's gaze.
"Well, I pay you first?" gilang said later. "Oh yeah, me too" said Syfa. "Lho's? pay what? I'll take it," asked Gilang in surprise, making everyone stare at him in shock, "Ee...No need for Il, we..."
"Look off If, I don't have a problem, have you? I pay first." he said later, and left them for the cashier's desk.
Syfa smiled faintly looking at Gilang's distant back.

"Sir, Ifa is...Have you got a guy?" ask Gilang when he and Lisa are in the car on the way home. "After me, no brother. Ukhti Syfa does not want such girlfriends. If anything serious, he wants ta'aruf first." Lisa replied, her eyes straight on the street decorated with lights. "But, it looks like Ukhti Syfa has a bitter experience about it" Lisa said later, making Gilang turn to look at him briefly. "Seriously? what bitter experience?"tanya Gilang was getting curious.
"Why did you conclude that, if Ifa never told me?"
"Yes because I saw his expression immediately Brother. Mellow is so, I think there's a pain that he's craving."
Gilang.
"Even though Ukhti Syfa is good." said Lisa later, while remembering Syfa's kindness to him all along.
Syfa is always there when he is difficult, or even when he just feels bored. Syfa also always invites him to positive things, always motivating him when he has problems. Syfa can always make her comfortable, and make Lisa more steady through her days. The girl seemed to have magic, making everyone around her feel more positive in living their lives.
"Sister, Brother Gilang has known Ukhti Syfa for a long time. According to Silang Gilang, what is Ukhti Syfa?" ask Lisa curious. Gilang smiled faintly, "Sister used to make a big mistake with Ifa." replied Gilang, sighing for a moment, recalling the big mistake he had made, because it almost took the girl's life. Hearing what Gilang said, made Lisa suddenly turn to him.
"What's the big mistake?" ask Lisa curious.
The flashback
"Girl ! don't take my balls ! Kaki....!!" syfa shouted trying to catch Gilang who grabbed the ball, while he was playing in the front yard of the elementary school. "Now, nih, take it if you can...weekkkk...." Gilang continued to tease him by lifting the ball up high, until then he threw the ball far away, and rolled on the highway. Syfa was upset with Gilang's behavior, He stomped his feet and looked at Gilang cynically, Gilang just laughed to see him. Then Syfa half ran to get the ball.
A truck was speeding by, when Syfa managed to pick up the ball. Gilang who saw that, immediately shocked and ran towards Syfa. "Ifa, beware....!!!!" shouting as loud as possible, Syfa, who had not had time to turn her head, felt her body drift a little because it was pushed by someone, and they fell together on the sidewalk. "Oh God, son, you don't have a papa?" ask the middle-aged man, who turns out to be Om Alan, Papa Gilang. "Well, Om, thank you Om?" he said he was still terrified, still shocked by what almost happened to him just now.
Gilang who saw the incident was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Flashback off
"At that time, Brother was punished with Papa. Brother's pocket money was cut for a month, and every time Brother met Ifa, Brother always dodged." explains Gilang, "Why does Big Brother dodge?" lisa asked increasingly. "Yes because of Big Brother, Ifa almost lost her life, Dek." replied Gilang regretfully while remembering that. "Sister accidentally." Lisa tried to argue.
"Ifa also talked to Sister, when she realized the same attitude of Big Brother who always avoids." said Gilang, back to remembering that. "She gave a letter to Brother when Brother and Papa brought her home."
"Why in the mail?"
"Yes because of Big Brother Ngehindarin He continues. In the car was Brother sitting next to Papa, Brother trying to keep the same distance He."
Lisa silent. He knew, Gilang did that only in the form of his responsibility to Syfa.
"What's the letter?" ask Lisa later.
"She said, He's not mad at you. He knows Brother didn't accidentally."
Lisa smile. What Gilang said was true, Syfa was easy to forgive someone.
"Hhhhh.but until now you still feel guilty." said Gilang, exhaling rough breathing. "No, brother, it's all fate. But it's also a warning for Big Brother anyway, so people don't jail-jail." Lisa's lips finally, making Gilang smile thinly.
"No, Dek. I will no longer go to Syfa. Brother will take care of him as much as Big Brother can." said Gilang unconsciously, making Lisa look at him in wonder, then smile, because she understood it.
