THE HEART PILLAR 3 KNIGHTS

A Promise (3)

Unlike the previous few nights, it was always covered in clouds and wet with rain. This time the weather was clear even without the stars. Delivering a pair of young people who started talking to each other with a carefree feeling. Their laughter occasionally sounded like old friends used to tell each other stories.

" Thank you for driving me ".

" Together Yulia. See you tomorrow ".

Yulia got down from Wisya's car when they got in front of her boarding house. When he was outside the car, he suddenly remembered something. Yes, he had to return the item he borrowed from the young man.

" Wisya. Thanks yeah.... ". Yulia again opened the car door and held out a folding umbrella to the young man inside.

" Oh.."., but Wisya pushed the object slowly on Yulia. " You just take it .. ".

" But ... ".

Wisya closed her car door making Yulia feel bad and realize the seriousness of the rejection. Slowly he felt very sorry for his stupidity. Of course it was worthless to someone like Wisya. But then the window of the car was opened and Wisya seemed to sing a smile.

Yulia opened her eyes in disbelief. He must have been too prejudiced by this young man. He closed the door not because he was disturbed, but maybe because he really wanted to give this thing to him. But the smile was very sweet, and the light of the eyes was so warm.

" Hey..let it be with you, I lend it to you" said Wisya still with a smile that adorned her handsome face.

" I ... already have ", reject Yulia while still thrusting the umbrella .

" Miss ... at least, let me have a reason to drop you off again ". Wisya smiled and hurriedly closed the window of her car.

Meanwhile Yulia was fixated, but felt very light. His heart was like a sheet of feathers blown by the wind, floating flying following the air dance. Even until the car had passed from before him, he was still stunned in disbelief with what was captured by his eyes and ears. Isn't this too weird? am I really still sane? or is he a little crazy?, so sizzled Yulia in her cohesiveness.

The following days went as usual, Yulia was still a diligent student who always came early and chose to sit in the front row of each lecture. Little talk, and never initiate talks with anyone. Simply by always smiling kindly at friends who pass by his seat when entering the class.

" Yulia", the greeting forced her to raise her face.

" Yes Haidar ".

" Have you opened your email yet? ", ask the young man who just came.

Haidar, this young man took a seat next to him. Yulia frowned, she had not had time to open her electronic mail for two days.

" Not ....Is there a ? ", asked Yulia later.

" The assignment of professor Daniel .. I also just opened last night after getting a call from him. He said you didn't respond to his phone at all ".

" Huh?!!", Yulia frowned. He also recalled some missed incoming calls from an unknown new number. " Oh yes, sorry .. later I check ".

And their conversation comes to a halt when their noisy entourage of classmates starts to step in along with the presence of a favorite young lecturer. Suddenly the front bench was filled with rows of beautiful girls. Yulia turned her head slowly to the right-left side, and she found Haidar doing the same. Then the young man also gave a small smile while raising his shoulders, perhaps Haidar thought the same as Yulia.

Continuing according to the afternoon course, now the two smart students are getting closer to each other to start discussing research projects sent by their professors. Yulia looks still learning the email that was just opened.

" Yul, I'm sorry I have to leave immediately. This is my WA number, this is my email too. Please after this you call me yes. I've already promised my father ".

Yulia raised her face, she saw that Haidar had already started packing her advanced laptop. As usual, this young man would rush home when the lecture was over. The driver and his bodyguard must have been waiting as usual. It seemed like this young man was indeed restricted by very strict rules for his association. Whether it came from what kind of family this young man was, his life seemed to be tightly bound. And Yulia could only nod in agreement.

" Yes .. sorry, I just opened it. After this I'll call you ".

Haidar smiled back at Yulia and soon passed away leaving the girl. The atmosphere of the class had been completely deserted. Although it still sounds noisy from outside the class next door. Yulia decided to study carefully the task given by her professor. A tropical disease expert who specializes in the field of parasites.

Yulia carefully digested the entire contents of the email. Then continue by looking for reference materials and sketching his research milestone. When suddenly a predominantly green juicy box was freshly placed in front of him.

Yulia raised her face, finding that warm smile engraved on the look on her face. Widya pulled out a chair and sat down in front of her without pulling a smile that had already developed.

" Am I disturbing ? ", ask the young man then.

" No ... ".

" Accept a task ? ", ask Vishya again.

" Yes from prof.Daniel ... like his research project, probably for the benefit of the campus", in the end Yulia answered a little long.

" Ooh. Drink .... hopefully it can refresh you, don't forget lunch yes ". Wisya also put a packet of sandwiches with her gentle smile.

" Thank you .. I trouble you .. ".

" No.... I've been bothering you.. he. he. he. please continue, I go home first ya ".

Without ever waking up from shock, Yulia had been left alone in that classroom by Wisya. He was not able to understand the attitude of the young man.

" Thank you .. You don't bother me at all ... ".

Unfortunately, the young man did not hear it. Because Yulia took quite a long time to come to a realization. Wisya's finger touch on the back of his hand even if only a glance, like the trigger of his heart stop just a moment ago. And Wisya has already disappeared out there .

Even then the rolling did not care about anything, bulldozing and grinding whatever was in front of him and then making it roll together, like a snowball movement. Yulia has been very busy with her mini project with Haidar. Making all the time off from each course be an effective time for the two of them to discuss, considering that Haidar always hastily left after finishing college.

Both will continue the discussion via email chat. Exchange information about their research subjects. Then together conclude the results, before sending to the professor. But sometimes the two also have to come together to meet the subjects of their respondents, or even follow where the prof steps. Daniel. You can go to the hospital to see patients with parasitic diseases in their bodies, or to a research laboratory. And as usual, Haidar immediately disappeared after their show was over.

Yulia was finally accustomed to effective communication by using her email or WA chat. And it was quite effective, because Haidar turned out to be a very competent and responsible person, even though he was always like being chased after something.

The three weeks of observation and research are finally beginning to enter the final stage. And both of them who have been since the beginning of various roles, now live to compile and beautify the report only.Yulia stretched both hands with pleasure, she smiled satisfied in the VIP place, the corner bench of the library.

" Well...how about we fill the stomach ? ".

" Huh ? .. astaghfirullah ... ", Yulia was unable to overcome her shock. He was completely unaware of the sudden presence of the figure of Wisya already sitting next to him while putting on a wide smile.

" Ha. ha. ha. ha. you don't realize it, yes, I've been here for almost two hours. Drink, to treat your surprise ". A small box of drinks was given Wisya, this time it was chocolate milk. A few days ago a variety of fruit juices, sometimes also sour cider or cider bean ijo.

" There's no need to bother like this. I owe you so much ".

" I've never lent you a favor anyway I don't have that mind either ".

Yulia chuckles at Wisya's words, and then grabs the small box of chocolate milk packaging and starts drinking it little by little through a straw.

" Where can I. Just make me ". With a quick movement Wisya snatched the small box with white straws. Then without awkward it immediately sucked the contents.

Yulia gaped in disbelief, she was dumbstruck by what she witnessed. While Wisya who had finished spending a small box of chocolate milk was now smiling full of mystery.

" I .. that's my ex ... ", Yulia stammered.

" Now your stomach must be filled again.Let's find a meal ". Without permission Wisya pulled the hand of the girl in front of him who was still dumbfounded.

" Ah .... what ... is this ? ", Yulia turned into a gago. And he absolutely could not resist what Wisya did to him.

Still with her protesting gaze, Yulia walked hurriedly following Wisya's light steps and wrapped in a cheerful smile. He lowered his head in shame while still trying to release the fingers of Wisya who tightly grasped his wrist.

" If I let go. You must reject my invitation ". Like understanding the meaning of the girl's protest gaze, Wisya tried to give an excuse for her actions.

Like a child who could only obey her mother, Yulia was unable to resist the invitation of Wisya. Luckily, the young man only invited him to eat at the cafeteria near the campus library. So that Yulia no longer needed to withstand the pounding of her faster heart, when the two of them were in the car like a few days ago.

But it turns out he was wrong, Wisya's attitude was so sweet. Pulling the chair to herself, gave a smooth and fragrant handkerchief when Yulia only realized that the tissue she was carrying had run out. Even with great care, the young man picked up a bottle of spicy sauce from the table next to them.

" It feels so much better yes.for sure because there are you ".

" Uhuk.. ", julia choked and coughed a little.

" It's a drink first.. don't be in a hurry... Do you have any other appointments ? ".

A pair of reddened Yulia's eyes held a sense of discomfort in her nose and throat, as the wrong spicy steam entered the cavity as it was driven by her shock. Slowly he was back in control.

" Not really.. After this I will ... ", julia did not continue her words. He thought quickly not to connect the sentence, for fear of the next Wisya reaction.

But this young man before him stared curiously, looking as he waited for Yulia to continue her words. Of course, making the hijab girl was wrong, he swallowed a piece of fries that suddenly felt so difficult to enter his throat. While Wisya was still staring, waiting.

" I want to go home .. after this. Prepare for tomorrow's quiz ". Finally, Julia found the right answer.

" Oh yeah..... Trauma and Emergency... ", Wisya patted her eel and she looked anxious.

" Thank you for treating me .. sorry I always trouble you" said Yulia who was answered with Wisya's hand.

" If I were to trouble you .... would you be willing ? ".

" As long as I can .. of course ".

" Want to help me learn? .. for the quiz tomorrow morning ? ".

Yulia looked at Wisya for a moment. The girl seemed to be considering a decision. Then a smile on his sweet face accompanied by a nod of his head, he agreed Wisya's request.

" Thank you .. Finally, I got a good grade too ", the young man laughed crisply and cheerfully.

One thing that then made Yulia become able to laugh a little. He saw Wisya who was so excited, and acted very funny. Something he had just met from this handsome young man. What he always saw was a young man who could only laugh freely while with his group. Friends who come from a married family background, rich and influential families.

Maybe it is also what makes Wisya look to be a person who requires someone to have special courage and strengths. Not carelessly friends want to approach, and that's because those from ordinary groups like Yulia certainly do not have the courage. Rather than accept the shame of rejection, it is better not to just intersect.

" I went to your boarding house .. ", said Wisya with a twinkle.

" Don't...no place to study there", Yulia refused quickly. He imagined the costs are very simple and contains innocent girls middle to lower class. But as for the affairs of handsome guys, they are wilder than any young girls.

Surely later Wisya could not even concentrate because of the behavior of the girls. It could be that Wisya might even vomit to see their crazy behavior in search of attention. Imagining that, Yulia shook her head strongly.

" Heiii. don't hesitate that you shook your head ".

" Oh ... ma-sorry..... in the library again ? ", bargain Yulia.

" No ah.. how about in cafe Indigo ? ".

Glegh!!!, Yulia was choked she even swallowed the piece of steak she had already chewed with some distress. It is a cafe that is very popular with most students in the campus. Unfortunately it is very expensive for someone like him, the cafe seems to be specifically made for certain circles only. It is not for people like Julie.

" I happen to have VIP members ... ".

There is a special membership as well, Yulia bristles. His simple heart could not imagine it. But this gaze of Wisya was so full of hope.

" Please..want ya ". How sweet this young man begged, like an adorable kitten.

After a while the two looked at each other by maintaining their respective expressions, Yulia finally started her answer by taking a deep breath. Then a nod of his approval sign was created, making the pair of Wisya eyes sparkle beautifully and look excited.

That's how young people start a story, put together a relationship and paint it their own story. Sometimes all the differences that stretch too far and run too deep, can be resolved just because of a smile. As long as the conscience is still ruling itself, everything must feel so beautiful.
