CHAPTER 4

3 Months Later

Fay's phone ringing made Kendra smile and excited in the morning, she grabbed her phone on the table and clamped it with her shoulder. "Dear, baby" she said to her lover, turning off her laptop.

While Fay contacted Kendra, as he tidied up the books he would bring to campus. He meloudspeaker his phone agara easily choose which book he will bring to campus that day. "Have the morning prayers gone, Ken?" ask Fay, across the phone.

"Here dong dear," Kendra raised her head towards the wall clock that had shown at 05:30. "Here I'm getting ready to go. How are you ready for the UAS today?" he then grabbed the bag he had hung behind the door, and put his laptop in.

Brugg.

There was a sound of something falling from across the phone. "Fay, are you okay?"

"Sorry that my book fell, Ken" he said, taking the book Kapita Selekta Neurology, which fell when he was about to put it in his bag, Fay crouched down and put it in his bag. "Every dong, you accompanied the study last night," he said excitedly.

It has become a mandatory routine for both of them, exchanging news in the morning before the activity, on the sidelines of activities while leisure and at night before going to bed. They make communication as the foundation of their relationship to keep it running well.

Once ready, Kendra walked out of her contract and did not forget to lock the door. "Yes I've left first, baby." he traveled down the alley to the big road, to get to the busway stop.

"Loh, Ken's morning? You didn't have breakfast?" ask Fay wonder.

"There's a lot of work to be done this morning. Easy, I'll have breakfast at the office. Fay, I've been on the busway."

"Yes, be careful. The spirit of love."

"You'll be careful too. Passion for the test, do not forget to pray. I'm sure you'll get the best grades, tonight I'll study with you."

"Dear, thank you. Assalamualaikum."

"Walaikumsalam," Kendra turned off her phone connection as she got into the busway. The atmosphere of the bus that still looks a bit quiet makes Kendra can sit comfortably while opening her work agenda that she will work on.

But at the next stop stop, passengers entered lined up to meet the bus. Among the passengers who entered, Kendra saw one of the pregnant women standing in a place not far from where she was sitting, Kendra also turned off her phone and then tucked it in.

He stood up and let the woman sit down. 'Hopefully when I marry Fay later, my financial condition is better so that Fay does not jostle using public transportation, ' he said. He and Fay once made a deal when they married later, they would leave all the facilities that his parents gave and build an independent life.

Arriving at the Sudirman Rubber busway stop, Kendra got off and walked towards the office. Before entering the building, Kendra took the time to buy a glass of coffee to accompany her morning at the office.

"Hi, Ken?" sapa Bela, an office colleague sitting right next to Kendra's desk. "Loe know the latest today?" ask her with eyes that sparkle with enthusiasm, like mothers who want to invite her to gossip.

Kendra tilted her head towards Bela, "What's wrong?" asked Kendra with a flat face.

"Loe's content made last week about Bitcoin from the lens of philosophy, attracted market interest up to 45% of the increase," said Bela happily. How not, since Kendra joined his team, Bela and his friends are no longer perlah hear scolding from his superiors. "Crazy, you're so cool, Ken."

"Okay, as a celebration how about tonight we hang out together?" said Luna who suddenly stood between Kendra and Bela's desk.

Kendra recalled her promise with Fay to accompany her study, subtly rejecting Luna's invitation. "Sorry, I can't follow you" said Kendra. "You guys are ya."

Bela and Luna seem not to accept Kendra's rejection. "Come on Ken, let's take the others as well" said Bela, standing and staring at Angga. "Ngga, did you come?"

"Gue is the same Ray must be coming," Angga replied as he gave his thumbs up.

Bela turned towards Kendra. "Well, the others are coming, you're not really?"

"That's dong!!" Luna patted Kendra on the shoulder gently, then she walked over to her desk.

'Well, I guess there's something wrong with occasionally having dinner with office friends, I'm sure Fay will understand. After dinner I can still accompany him to learn, 'his mind, he went to, he continued his work as if with the work agenda that he had arranged last night.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Initially Kendra thought that her friends would only invite her to dinner at the restaurant, but apparently Kendra's guess was wrong. His friends took Kendra to a big nightclub in Jakarta.

A sense of awkwardness and discomfort, emanated clearly in Kendra's face, because this was the first time Kendra set foot in a nightclub. Unlike the case with Kendra, Angga and Ray seem to enjoy the atmosphere.

They ordered three bottles of alcoholic beverages. "Munum used to be Ken," Angga held out a glass of red wine towards Kendra.

Kendra shakes. "Gue doesn't drink," he refused.

Ray grabs Kendra's hand and forces her to accept Angga's glass "Cobain first, it's delicious!"

While Kendra turned to her four friends who asked Kendra to drink immediately, then she gulped down the wine in her glass. Kendra put her glass on the table, then walked away from her friends.

"Where are you going, Ken?" Luna pulled Kendra's arm, as Kendra passed by.

"To the toilet."

"Don't go home, we're not done yet!"

Kendra just cleared her throat, then walked towards the toilet. In the toilet Kendra stood in front of the sink facing herself in front of the mirror. 'If you can be honest this is actually not too bad' he murmured.

Taking her phone out of her pocket, Kendra noticed 5 missed calls and two messages from Fay.

Fay:

Ken you're still busy, aren't you?

Fay:

Where are you? Not home?

Kendra typed in a reply from Fay, not wanting Fay to wait or worry about her.

^^^Kendra:^^^

^^^I'm sorry, tonight I can't accompany you to study. I have additional work to collect tomorrow.^^^

Soon, Fay replies to Kendra's message.

Fay:

It's okay, spirit yes. Don't forget dinner.

Kendra only read it a moment later she put her phone back in her pocket and she came back with her friends.
