As soon as she got home, Viona immediately cleaned herself up and then got busy with her gadget, looking for ideas about what motif or character she would choose. 
After making sure the motif she chose matched Dewa's taste, Viona then started to note and calculate what ingredients she needed to make a special gift for Dewa. Yes... She planned to make a praline chocolate or a heart-shaped character chocolate for Dewa. With the words "Happy Birthday, Dewa" and on the edge decorated with some chocolates that had been painted with musical notes and a G key. 
According to the information she got from several people, Dewa really likes music. Therefore, Viona decided to choose musical notes and a G key as the edge decoration. 
"Okay, I think this is enough, tomorrow I just have to buy the ingredients and the gift box." Viona muttered as she folded the paper and put it in her school backpack. 
Hopefully Dewa likes the gift I will give him. She thought to herself again while looking at the ceiling of her room with her hand still faithfully holding her cellphone and hoping Dewa would contact her.
One Hour... 
Two Hours... 
Three hours... 
His phone still didn't ring, his previously excited face now looked bent. "Oh well, maybe he's busy." He said again monologuing in his heart trying to cheer up his heart which was slowly starting to get nervous, that his position would be threatened because of Salsa and Alya's presence on Dewa's days.

The next day at school, Valentine's gifts were still a hot topic to discuss. Various silly ideas came up from several people to tease their friends. 
"The gift is just a set of spoons, Ki, complete with chopsticks and straws, so that later every time Nila eats and drinks, it feels like you're feeding her all the time." Andrew said while laughing out loud in front of Dicky, which was accompanied by the laughter of several people around them. Meanwhile, Nila, who was a few tables away from them, only glanced briefly at the commotion that was happening around Dicky's table. 
"Yes, if you feed it, you will definitely feel full after eating for a month," said Dicky, who also laughed. "What a joke... Don't you have any ideas that are even more ridiculous?" Dicky added again after his laughter died down.
"Yeah... Nothing, Nila is a fussy eater, maybe if she's fed she'll eat heartily." Ronald continued, who also joined in sitting on Dicky's chair. 
"Ehhmm... It seems like Dewa got the most presents." Andrew said while glancing at Viona and Alya alternately, then raising and lowering his eyebrows, trying to tease the two girls in front of him. But the two girls chose not to make a sound. Viona and Alya both put on simple smiles on their faces. Lazy to respond. 
"Just wait until tomorrow. Will Dewa get a present or not? Tomorrow's not just Valentine's Day, the problem is... Dewa's birthday too, is February 14th not special enough for Dewa? No one cares," Dicky chimed in, accompanied by chuckles from Andrew and Ronald. 
Viona took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying not to care about every word her friends said. Even though in his heart he actually intended to give something special to Dewa, namely something he made himself with great love.
Teeettt... Teeett... Teeeeet...
The bell rang three times. It was a sign that school hours were over. All the students rushed to tidy up their stationery and rushed out of the classroom.
Before going home, Viona and Gita along with Sari, Riska and Mia stopped by at the meatball stall where they usually got off the bus.
"Just give Dewa a scarf as a gift. He likes the color blue. I just happened to buy a blue scarf." Sari said while they were eating meatballs. "I've bought the scarf and wrapped it too, but don't worry... I didn't put anything in it, it's just a scarf, there's no paper containing love letters or small talk either," Sari added, then handed him a bag containing a box that had been wrapped in gift paper.
Viona grabbed the package and checked its contents, "What's this?" She said while holding up a blue cloth.
"Oh... I bought a pair, maybe you guys want to be a couple" Sari said quickly, without noticing Viona's increasingly confused expression. The girl felt that her friends really had a very strange behavior, starting from Gita who asked Dewa about what gift Dewa wanted from Viona. Now added to that Sari who took the initiative to buy a gift for them without asking first. 
"Hmm okay, I'll take it... but really there is no batman trap or anything strange inside" Viona said wanting to make sure again what was in the package, even looking for another gift now was impossible, because there was no more time, while after school Viona had to immediately finish her chocolate before her parents came home from the office.
"It's safe... it's okay, I guarantee Dewa will like this gift, after all, when people like someone, what they look at is not the gift, not the price of the gift, but who gave the gift. No matter how good or expensive the gift is, if the person is disgusted, they still won't appreciate it." Sari said, which was immediately agreed by Gita, while Mia and Riska just kept quiet because they didn't know Dewa either. 
When she arrived home, Viona immediately started her action, preparing chocolate, plastic wrap and so on. She did it as fast as she could, afraid that her parents would find out that she was making heart-shaped chocolates for a guy. 
After more than half an hour of struggling with the chocolates, finally the chocolates were finished being made and carved, just waiting for all the chocolates to cool and freeze before being wrapped in plastic wrap. 
Viona looked at the chocolates she had made with her mouth constantly praying that Dewa would like the chocolates she had made. Because this is made with all my heart and is equipped with chocolate spices full of love from Viona for Dewa. The girl then took all the chocolates to her room and put them in a heart-shaped box that she had prepared beforehand. 
"Hopefully God will like it." Viona said in a monologue to herself. 
After taking care of the gift for God, now all you have to do is convince yourself and strengthen yourself mentally that tomorrow will be fine.
