Everyone was silent when they saw Mr. Ali open the car door for Kania and took his hand. Just like a princess. Actually Kania was uncomfortable with their gazes on her.
"Sir, they look like-"
"Let them be, they are jealous to see I treat you like a queen and you deserve to be treated like that."
Kania could only swallow her saliva very hard, hoping for Pak Ali to let go of her hand, but to no avail. His hands were gripped even tighter.
"Don't even think about letting go of your hand from mine, because the formula in my dictionary is one. Once I choose you to be my wife, you will be my wife."
Kania could only nod, while continuing to walk to the rhythm of Mr. Ali.
Suddenly they were surprised by Maira with smiling lips. Weird isn't it? It was as if Maira had just let Mr. Ali go for Kania.
"Maira?"
"Kania, I've told you before, haven't I? That I've made it clear that you and Alexis are united. May you always be happy."
"Thank you," Kania said while hugging Maira and vice versa.
"Ekhm... Give me one reason why you changed?" asked Mr. Ali while continuing to look into Maira's eyes.
"Okay, Mr. Muhammad Ali Safar Alexis. I'll give you an excuse, but... let's go to the cafeteria, I'm already hungry."
…
Kania, Pak Ali, and Maira were already in the university canteen, all students were surprised because Pak Ali had never come to this canteen before.
"What do you want to order?" Maira began to speak while continuing to take notes on a paper.
"Water-"
"Not just water, I bag you."
"Okay, Maira, since you asked for it I will turn the water into a milk shake."
"Milk shakes?"
"That's right, you are very smart."
"Thank you, and you, Alexis?"
"Black coffee."
"Oh no, you can't just drink black coffee," said Maira, shaking her head.
"All right, you want, Maira. I will follow whatever you order for me."
Kania and Maira laughed, because they felt they had won in conquering a Muhammad Ali Safar Alexis. They looked at each other and smiled, so beautiful.
Their orders had been delivered by the cafeteria lady, a little surprised to see the three of them happy with each other's talk.
"Enjoy, hope you like it," he said and slowly left leaving a cup of sweet coffee, milkshake and soda.
"You still like this fizzy drink?" asked Mr. Ali while looking at Maira's embarrassed face.
"I can't change myself the way you change you." Actually, the reason Maira uses English is so that Kania does not understand the meaning of their conversation, it turns out that she is wrong, Kania is also good at English and understands their every conversation.
"Listen, Kania, Alexis, we have to use English so no one knows what we're talking about."
Kania and Pak Ali nodded understanding what Maira meant.
"So... what's the reason?" Kania asked while drinking her milkshake.
"This is very secret, I got someone who can change my mind," said Maira as she opened a fizzy drink and drank it.
"Somebody?"
"How about we chat? I'll make a group chat for the three of us."
Again Kania and Pak Ali could only nod, while starting to look for their respective flat objects.
[Totally Secret] The name of the group created by Maira made Kania want to laugh. He thought the secret would be lost and would not be a secret anymore if it was told.
{Can I start?} The first message from Maira has been read by Pak Ali and Kania as well. Pak Ali is more concerned with the group created by Maira than important groups such as the Indonesian doctor's union group, lecturers, and others.
{I really didn't think that yesterday was a very historic day in my life}>message read
Maira kept typing I don't know what she was going to tell actually?
{I really didn't think, he who I hate he will also change my life.}>read message
Kania was really curious about what she read, every letter seemed to have meaning. Oh, Maira. He's like doing a riddle.
{What do you really want to tell me, Maira?} 1 message was sent from Kania.
{He is the one who taught me that love doesn't have to have, those who have may not love each other}> message read
{Maira, can you stop this strange game? Can we just talk by mouth? I'm really busy.}> Message sent from Mr. Ali.
{Alright... Sorry for this silly game I've created.}> Message sent from Maira.
{Tell you what, tonight we meet at my house? Behind my house there is a tree house.}>message sent from Kania
{You are serious? Evening? Up in the tree house?}>Message sent from Maira.
{Or not tomorrow afternoon?}> Message sent from Mr. Ali
{It's okay.}> Message sent from Maira
{Okay, I'll go with you}> message sent from Kania.
They suddenly looked at each other.
"Want to take Farhan?" Maira asked while continuing to drink soda water.
Kania was a little surprised. He should have said that but why Maira? What's really going on?
"Just take it, Kania and Maira, I have to go to the airport because my special guest has arrived in Indonesia."
"Okay, be careful."
"Assalamualaikum."
Pak Ali left Maira and Kania with mixed feelings.
…
Class is over. Kania thought of looking for Farhan but just as soon as the idea came to her, she abandoned it. He chose to buy snacks for himself, but unfortunately the money had run out, he also gave all his savings to the scavenger mother and child.
"Hey, Kania, what are you doing here?" Siska asked while looking at Kania's face which was sweating coldly and honestly, Kania's head was very dizzy.
"Kana, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Certain?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
And… Bruck!
"Kana!!!"
"Please, Kania fainted!!"
S people came, Farhan who also ran over to Kania who was lying on the floor.
"Kana?!"
He carried him and one of the lecturers called an ambulance.
Maira was surprised to see Kania being carried by Farhan, her heart ached and her blood boiled.
"Farhan? How about our lunch plan?"
"Sorry, let's delay."
"Oh, I see."
"Maira, I hope you can understand the situation."
"I understand! You don't need to remind him," said Maira and left Farhan.
Farhan did not have time to explain to Maira, he had already left with Kania and an ambulance.
