First day of college.
Ratih escorted Yumna to the front of the campus.
"Are you sure you don't want Grandma going inside?" ask Ratih when the car stops at a top university in Singapore.
"No need to granny. Yumna can be alone." Yumna smiled at the grandmother.
"If there's anything you call grandma right away, okay?!" Yumna nodded then after kissing her grandmother's cheek, Yumna went down. Ratih asked the driver to drive his car towards the company owned by her husband.
After finishing with the administrative affairs Yumna decided to take a short walk in the campus area. See how magnificent the campus is. Pay attention to how people interact with each other, even though from several different countries.
Yumna kept walking, looking for the one place she always liked, the library! Read one by one the nameplates attached near the door. Yumna was too focused on walking when she found the library room, two rooms from where she stood. Soon he walked quickly. But suddenly...
Bruck!!!
A young man ran and hit him until Yumna fell.
"Abs!!!" Yumna felt pain in the area behind her that kissed the floor.
"Are you ok?" asked the young man with those bright brown eyes. He extended his hand to Yumna. Yumna was stunned with those bright brown eyes. Yumna raised her hand about to welcome the hand but then she was back running, and followed with two people also running behind her. Yumna's hand hung in the air. Yumna could only stare at the back of the young man who hit her until it disappeared at the end of the hallway along with the one who chased her.
'Just one day I have not been unlucky, so don't apologize anymore! You fucking bule!' yumna snorted and stood alone and patted her clothes from the dust.
It did not escape the sight of the students who were there. Makes Yumna feel embarrassed and upset.
'Basil bule, instead of helping me even on a look! What is the view?'
Yumna continued her journey until she reached the library. His eyes were wide at the many books he had seen there. Crackling cabinets with various books. Starting from the thin to the thick.
"Wow!!" like in heaven according to Yumna. Yumna smiled and stepped into the library. Indicates on a book that if it makes him interested in reading it.
"Meet!" yumna finally said. Yumna was sitting at one of the tables there, reading sheet by sheet the book she had picked up on the shelf.
It had been two hours, but Yumna was still struggling with her book. Reading a book is a pleasure and a calm. Until he was surprised by the sound of his phone tang rang.
Almost everyone in the library looked at the origin of the voice. Yumna forgot to switch her phone to silent mode. Yumna immediately opened her bag and found the name grandma on her phone screen.
"Silent please!" a woman's voice sounded very clear even from a distance. It seemed like the library keeper, a woman in her forties, was beautiful with a body that was still somewhat sexy for an age of her size. Don't forget the glasses perched on his nose.
"Sorry miss" said Yumna, cupping her palms together in front of her chest. Yumna sat back down, and changed the mode on her phone.
Grandmas.
have you come home yet?
Yumna's.
- Not yet, grandma. again in the perpus.
Yumna is typing fast.
Grandmas.
- Later if you go home to Grandma's phone, the driver will pick you up.
Yumna
-okay.
Yumna kept her cellphone in the bag and returned to her reading book. He was shocked when he saw someone hiding under the table. Holding his mouth that was almost shouting with his hands. While the young man in a black jacket was sticking his index finger in front of his lips. Then his head turned right and left like he was looking for someone.
He then lowered his head. His thumb was agilely dancing on his cellphone. Show me what he typed in there.
'just continue reading it. and be quiet if anyone asks.'
Yumna. He remembered the man who hit him earlier.
Two people just entered the library. He also remembered that person who was chasing earlier, that was the one who was chasing the man under the table. And Yumna was convinced that two people entered the porous not to read a book. Their eyes continue to search. Then a second later they walked out in quiet steps.
Yumna closed the book and kept it in its original place. Yumna wanted to borrow the book, but Yumna had not received her university id card. The requirement to borrow a book is to show the student's id card to the library officer.
Yumna was outside the perpus room, she saw the two men were shaking their waists nearby. They seem to be upset. Yumna approached them.
"Sorrys. I saw someone hiding under the table. Maybe he is what you are looking for!" point Yumna into the library. The two of them returned to the library in a calm style after saying a word of thanks to Yumna. it wasn't until five minutes later that the two men were out again with the man hiding under the table.
The man asked to be released. But the grip of the two men's hands was so strong that the man with hair in the blonde paint could not resist.
They walked past Yumna, the man's eyes immediately looking intently at the figure of the woman he met earlier in the bus.
He must have told me inside. Basic women are less cool!, just be careful later if I meet again will not let go! Inner man it is.
Yumna who got a sharp look from the man just stuck out her tongue, laughing mockingly.
Feel it! This is the result of being hit and not apologizing, you don't know manners!! Inner Yumna. Then walk out of the campus area.

After waiting for a while, the car that picked him up finally arrived. Not the driver of Ratih's grandmother, but his grandfather's assistant, Reyhan.
Reyhan got out of the car and turned around to open the door, but Yumna got in the car first. Reyhan is back behind the wheel.
"Miss should wait for me to open the door first!" reyhan said after sitting himself in the steering chair. He looked at Yumna at the glance who was sitting next to him then refocused on turning on the car.
Yumna looked at Reyhan dislike. In addition to Reyhan always being rigid Yumna also does not like if Reyhan always considers Yumna as his employer. Yumna just wants to be good friends with Reyhan. Especially in this country Yumna has not known anyone.
"That's it, Reyhan. In front or behind is the same, right?!"
"But it's not good if the lady sits next to me." Yumna put up her seat belt.
"Why is not good? "
"It's not okay, miss."
"Are Reyhan scared?"
"What am I afraid of?" Reyhan asked back without looking over his car.
"i'm just acting as a driver here. I'm..."
"Ah stop! I hungry. Can Reyhan take me somewhere? It's almost lunchtime!" Yumna.
"I'll take the lady home, the lady can eat at home, because I have to get back to the office!"
Flat and cold. No expression! It sucks! Just a little if he wanted to smile, must be handsome! Inner Yumna.
"No going home! Come on, Reyhan. I'm tired of having a week at home, never been out for a walk. Yes, please!" Yumna clenched her hands together in front of her chest with a pleading smile. Reyhan was still with a flat aura on his face.
"Sorry, I can't!"
"Ish, you shitty shit!" Yumna punches Reyhan in the arm, upset that his request has not been granted.
"Be careful, miss. The danger!" Reyhan warned. Yumna grieves dislikes.
Yumna pulled out her phone, she dialed Adi's grandfather's number.
"Grandfather. I'm going out to lunch with Reyhan. So I borrowed Reyhan first. Can, right?" yumna asked, then smiled after getting an answer from her grandfather.
Reyhan was silent with no expression.
"OKAY. Thanks. Dear grandpa!" end with a spoiled tone and a long distance kiss.
'This lady is at will, does she not know that I work so much?!'
"I've called Grandpa, and Grandpa allows. So, let's find a place to eat." Yumna smiled happily because Reyhan could not refuse if grandfather had already allowed it.
Thirty minutes later they arrived at the restaurant. Yumna drew Reyhan's hand to sit with her and eat.
"I'm just accompanying, not eating!" reject Reyhan when Yumna offers him to choose a menu.
"Ah mas Reyhan you're a bitch!" again, punching Reyhan's burly arm. Reyhan was still flinching in his place.
"There is no rejection! Anyway don't think of me as a granddaughter of grandma and grandpa, just think of me as a friend or... sister?" ask Yumna. Then order some food for Reyhan, just like him.
Reyhan took a breath and exhaled slowly. Yumna is good but she is a stubborn girl.
"Come on Rey! Eat." Reyhan was still speechless staring at the food in front of him.
Yumna kept pushing. Reyhan again breathed. Then take a spoon and eat it silently.
Yumna tried to initiate the conversation, but she did not get a meaningful response, Yumna snorted in annoyance. Because from the beginning Reyhan's attitude was very cold, stiff, like a wall or iceberg, or something like that!
They ate, and Yumna spoke unceasingly, asking this and that, and Reyhan answered them briefly, densely and clearly. And enough, nothing more, nothing more!
"Mas Reyhan how long has he been working for Grandpa?"
'He himself knew!' Reyhan.
"It's been a long time."
Did Reyhan cooperate with Grandpa? Though Reyhan mas can work in other companies and may be able to get a better position! Where was Reyhan at school? What majors? Don't you want to go back to Indonesia? What is this, what is it. Blah..blah...
Reyhan sighed tiredly. This girl is too chatty! Reyhan had never found a girl this chatty, and it was very disturbing. His head feels a little dizzy.
'A tall file is better than listening to a fussy woman!'
"Did Reyhan have a girlfriend?"
Byurrrs. Instantly the water he was drinking just spewed out of his mouth.
"Oh Reyhan, get wet!" yumna who reflexively rubbed Reyhan spray water on her cheek.
"Sorry, sorry, not intentionally!" reyhan then took a handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped off Yumna's wet cheeks and forehead, Yumna was petrified by Reyhan's treatment. So did Reyhan who now felt a sigh in his chest bigger than before.
Yumna looked at the man in front of her with a thumping chest, because Yumna had never been treated like that by men. Yumna immediately regained her senses, and seized the handkerchief.
"Let me!" yumna said and wiped her face.
"Mas Reyhan why the hell? Did I just ask you if I have a girlfriend or not?" yumna was upset.
"I'm too busy with my job to forget about women, including..." Reyhan fell silent, then took his drinking water back and downed it.
"Includes..." Yumna looked at Reyhan, hoping that the line would continue.
"Hurry up, it's done, right? I'll drive you home!" Reyhan soon passed, not wanting to linger there. Which will cause the performance of his heart more and more unreasonable.
Inevitably Yumna follows Reyhan, and returns home.
