The boisterous atmosphere in the campus cafeteria this afternoon is still dominated by Zakir's toughness. Edo who was endlessly tempting his best friend made the atmosphere more crowded.
“Tik, you sensitive little, napa? Poor bang Zakir, here. He inflamed mulu,” Goda Edo made Kartika hot cold.
“Bentar, I take ice cubes to compress bang Zakir so as not to inflamed.” Kartika got up about to ask for ice cubes on the mother of the canteen guard.
“Eh, don't bother!” Zakir pulls Kartika's hand trying to stop her steps.
“So he said inflamed, I took the medicine,” said Kartika.
“The medicine is in front of me. Just sit down!” zakir exclamation makes Kartika back to her seat.
“Eh, by the way, no, tomorrow you are invited to Vina's birthday event, right?” ask Edo.
“He'em, we're invited,” timpal Kartika.
“You feel weird, don't you? Vina's birthday is celebrated in Nathan's house?” chirps Karin who got a sharp look from Zakir.
“Yes, right, Vina is here alone, Rin. Who else would want to help her show if it wasn't Nathan's family.” Zakir blinked his eyes hoping Karin would understand his thoughts.
While Widya who had been silent to the jokes of her best friend began to think about the words that came out of Karin's mouth. Widya pensively puffed up her drink. His mind was a little chaotic to the point of not being aware of Nathan's current presence already beside him.
“When to arrive?” widya asked in surprise.
“Barusan. Yuk, unplug! We'll get a gift for Vina,” and Nathan with his girlfriend. Widya nodded and immediately got up from her seat.
“Don't forget, tomorrow night you all come to my house, yes!” exclaiming Nathan passed while holding Widya's hand.
After Widya and Nathan died, those who were still in the cafeteria looked at each other with strange looks.
“Rin, you do not realize that your words earlier will make Widya think a frenzy?” ask Edo to Karin.
“Sorry, I'm keceplosan.” Karin pleads with her best friend.
“But don't you guys feel weird?” Karin repeated her sentence.
“I, anyway, feel. Just, what can we do? Gini aja, tomorrow we have to keep an eye on Vina and also Widya,” said Zakir.
“Tumben brains lo dilute, Zak,” ledek Kartika make them laugh.

Meanwhile, at a famous mall in Jakarta, Widya follows Nathan into a jewelry store.
“Honey, choose a good bracelet for Vina, dong!” nathan exclaimed when he was near the storefront displaying various kinds of bracelets.
“Carely buy this for Vina?” Widya pointed at the row of bracelets that were in front of her.
Nathan nods to Widya's question. Widya immediately chose a bracelet that she thought was suitable for Vina.
“Nath, what about this one?” widya shouted when she realized Nathan was sitting in a waiting chair.
“As far as you are, dear,” replied Nathan smiling.
“Yes, just take this one, Kak.” Widya handed a bracelet to the shopkeeper.
Nathan immediately got up to the cashier to make the payment. As Nathan transacts, Widya sits in the waiting chair. He reflected back on Karin's words when they were in the cafeteria.
“Yuk, home!” Nathan's sentence evokes Widya's daydream.
They walk in tandem with fingers linked together. Nathan did not take off his hand. He felt he had to pay for his mistake some time ago which made their relationship a little stretched.
“What do you eat, honey?” ask Nathan.
“Samain aja be fast,” replied Widya briefly.
“OK. Wait here, yes!” Nathan passed to the order table.
After a while, their order arrived. Nathan ate voraciously because he hadn't had time to eat anything. The task as a representative of his class to attend the exhibition on campus made Nathan busy consulting with his guidance lecturer. Nathan often forgets his lunch.
After finishing looking for a gift, Nathan drove Widya home. Nathan hands Vina a gift before Widya gets out of her car.
“You're the one who brought it, yeah! Don't forget tomorrow night I pick up at seven!” said Nathan.
“Besok morning I'm not here, honey. I have to help Vina and Mama to prepare for tomorrow night's event. You're not papa, are you?” nathan asked softly afraid of offending Widya.
Widya simply replied with a nod of her head and a slightly forced smile. When Widya was about to open the door, Nathan held her hand.
“Wait, Darling!” shouted Nathan.
“What else, anyway, Nath?” lirih Widya pouted a little.
“This is for you. Worn, yes! Don't forget tomorrow and beautiful dance!” nathan blinked one eye.
Widya shuts her mouth, surprised to see a ring Nathan gave her.
“Nath, this is too much,” watered Widya staring at Nathan's beautiful eyeballs.
“Now, Honey. I ordered this special for you. Please don't refuse!” nathan said pleading as he clenched his palms together.
Widya receives the ring and immediately rushes down from Nathan's car.

It has been since Magrib Widya changed clothes many times. She felt that there was no dress that was suitable for her to wear. Suddenly he remembered Nathan who had sent a picture of himself with Evan and Ellen. Nathan wears kakhi color trousers and a casual shirt of light beige color. Widya immediately looked for a matching color dress that she had.
Widya stood in front of a large mirror in her room. Looking at her reflection that feels perfect. Her body was wrapped in a simple short-sleeved dress of light cream color with a ribbon accent on her neck. His long hair he let loose. With a little powder polish and a nude color lipstick that matches the dress she wears. Not forgetting he was wearing Nathan's ring.
“Honey, have Nathan picked up. Buruan, gih!” mother Arini shouted in front of her room.
“Ya, Bun,” Widya replied as she opened her room door.
“Wah, beautiful princess mother!” puji Arini made Widya's cheeks meet.
“Mother can aja,” Widya suluk make Arini smile at the behavior of her only daughter.
The two of them headed for the living room where Nathan was already waiting. Nathan got up when he saw Widya with a different appearance. The girl looked grown up in her simplicity.
“Ehem!” Arini cleared her throat loudly, trying to unravel Nathan's gaze stunned by Widya's appearance.
“Sorry, Bun. Nathan khilaf.” Nathan grimaced as he scratched his non-itchy head.
“Delay Widya, yes. Take good care of your daughter!” pinta Arini makes Nathan feel flattered.
“Definitely, Bun. Then Nathan said goodbye first,” Nathan said kissing the back of Arini's hand.
They walked towards Nathan's car in front. Nathan opens the door for Widya and closes it again after Widya is in her car.
“You're so beautiful, honey,” Nathan left to start driving his car. Although softly, the sentence was still heard in Widya's ears. The girl was also blushed by it.
