Waiting for Your Love

CHAPTER 12

*****

In the workspace, sir the lecturer

Nina stared at the scene outside the window behind the lecturer's desk anxiously. He was preparing to receive sharp criticism from the lecturer.

The father saw the drawing of his design more than five minutes ago, without saying a word. He was afraid that the father would reject his plans. It would definitely make his heart disappointed.

"Miss, your drawings are really good!" the lecturer leaned back on his swivel chair and then raised both his legs on the table. He placed a carefully crafted collection of images of Nina's plans on top of the filing cabinet behind her.

"Your future will be bright as long as you want to study hard and develop yourself" he continued.

"Really?" Nina looked at the lecturer and Arif in turn while smiling happily. "Thank you Mr. Rosen! Thank you very much for being pleased to see my work" Nina said politely.

"Thank you back. You really want to go to Sudirman?" ask Mr. Rosen.

"Yes, Sir. It was my dream" replied Nina.

"good. You see for yourself" Rosen continued.

"The art department in Sudirman is already famous everywhere, I want the art department to be the main program in our country." He smiled at Arif. "Arif is my partner."

Nina fell silent. In front of him was a good book author, a famous person, the dean of art and design at Sudirman University, now praising him and inviting him to study together.

Once the opportunity to study at a famous campus like in Sudirman, was just a dream for Nina. But fate changed in less than twenty-four hours, he was able to convince a lecturer that he was worthy of a lecture there.

Nina sighed then closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth of the autumn sun. And the breeze that hit his face.

"It's so beautiful today," Nina opened the conversation.

"Mm-hmmm," Arif agreed. They bought drinks at the campus cafeteria on the way to pick up Arif's design book. They sat on the lawn, enjoying the warm sunlight.

"Know no," said Arif suddenly. "Great profile. I'll paint you sometime. If you're willing."

Nina's eyes widened and her face was crimson to hear Arif's words. "Ah, that must be your seduction. Maybe to every girl you are too." The candlestick covers up the nervousness.

Arif looked at her with a funny mimic, and then laughed. "Indeed," he said. He lay on his side with his elbows holding his head, looking at the campus with his eyes half closed.

Nina was still embarrassed to chat with Arif. But he likes.

Arif looked at her with a smile. A hue of happiness flashed on Nina's face. Arif's view is so friendly. But suddenly Andika's face flashed through her mind, Nina was reflected in Andika's gentle and loving eyes.

"Why Nina?" asked Arif gently. "Like seeing the devil?"

"What's? Mmm, it's okay. I just remembered I went unselfishly with Sister Cristin or Amelia. I'm afraid they're worried about me" Nina prepares to move on.

"Hey! Went where? He said he wanted a book. Who wants to look for you? They were busy with their respective affairs," Arif pulled Nina's arm. "Look easy!"

The touch is so warm. "May as well, it's true. I am free, I want to do anything. There's no need to be afraid. In fact, Amelia and Sister Cristin don't necessarily think of me they're too busy with their affairs" Inner Nina.

He remembered Andika. His little heart asked if he started to like Arif, then what about the loyal Andika waiting for his love there.
