That afternoon, the air and heat were very hot. The sky is bright cloudy, supporting the atmosphere to enjoy a nap. Frans sat among the students who were waiting for graduation. Frans seemed bored, then walked to the mini market to buy a cold drink. Frans' gaze was fixed on a pair of students, who were sitting chatting enjoying ice cream under a shady tree.
The woman looked up and called out to him.
"Hi Frans, how are you? Long time yes we did not meet," he said as he stood approaching Frans.
"Oh well, how are you?"
"Healthy Frans, as you see now." The woman kept smiling at him.
"Thank God, I'm glad to hear that."
"Your college how are you? You must have been the thesis, right?" ask again.
"Yes this is already in chapter four, just pray for next year graduation," Frans said while paying at the cashier.
"Oya Frans, I want to know you as my friend. Come on, come with me for a second!"
"Ehm.yeah can," said Frans briefly.
Frans walked in behind following Sharly. Sharly is a friend of Frans's. Sharly was once in love with Frans, but Frans only considered her a friend. Both have misunderstood. Frans thought Sharly was pretending to be seriously ill in order to draw her sympathy. But Sharly had heart failure since childhood.
"Know Frans" Sharly introduced Frans to Edo.
"Hello.I'm Edo, Sharly's been telling me a lot about you."
"Oh yeah? what story?" ask Frans kepo.
"Hahaha.calm down, tell me good things about you" said Edo with a laugh.
Frans thought Edo was Sharly's girlfriend. In her heart, Frans is thrilled to see Sharly find a lover like Edo.
"I'm sorry, I'm first...." Frans said goodbye to return to the auditorium.
Frans leaves Sharly and Edo. Upon arrival at the auditorium, the graduation ceremony was over. Frans pulled out his phone to call Lidya.
Lidya did not hear her phone ringing. Lidya was still chatting with her choir friend.
"Lidya," call Adi.
Lidya looked over and smiled.
"Yes, what's wrong?" ask Lidya.
"So we did not have time to talk, very complicated preparations. Will you have lunch with me? As a thank you, for driving me home yesterday."
"We're going home now?" ask Frans.
Lidya then turned her head, looking at Adi.
"It's okay, forget it. Looks like you have to go home soon," said Adi was full of disappointment.
"I'm sorry, I have to go back to Jogja."
"Jogja?" Adi said while glancing at Frans.
Apparently this man will take Lidya back to Jogja.
"We went home rame-rame. Me, Mas Frans, Rita and Bima" said Lidya.
"You? go back to Jogja too?" adi asked in surprise, because he knew that Frans was not from Jogja.
"Ehm only drove Lidya, then directly to Jakarta by train from Jogja."
"Oh..so, be careful...."
"We're home, Mom. See you next year."
"Then next year?" adi asked confusedly.
"Well, we'll see you in January next year, hehehe......" Lidya joked to melt the atmosphere.
"Happy holidays, yes" said Adi.
Adi then drove his car.

XX Cafe
The atmosphere of the cafe was quiet. Mama Lia and Stacy were silent without a sound. The two looked at each other. Stacy began to speak in a stammering voice.
"Auntie, Stacy......" Stacy then cried unable to continue to speak.
"Cry Stacy, take out all your heart" said Mama Lia, holding Stacy's hand.
