Long before the uproar of gossip about Melisa and Fais' relationship, Melisa was not an open student and known to many people, she was just a busy schoolgirl by herself and preoccupied with her feelings for a Class 12 Big Brother that caught her attention from the beginning she became a new student, almost a year she harbored that feeling, only able to disturb from a distance, even Melisa herself was not sure that the Class Sister by the name of Chandra knew her.
It got to a point, where Chandra started following Melisa's Instagram account, often liking Melisa's posts several times even replying to Melisa's story and until finally they were close enough. Which makes Melisa put more hope in their closeness.
You could say this is the first time Melisa had such a close relationship with a man. On several occasions, Chandra also often invites Melisa to come home together using her favorite motorcycle. If people say, not just anyone who can be joined with the motorbike. Only a certain person, who has a special position in Chandra.
Day after day passed and Melisa was still with her hopes, hoping for an improvement in their relationship. But everything is suddenly destroyed on the eve of Chandra's graduation release.
That night, Chandra instead expresses his feelings for a girl he has long admired, and that girl is not Melisa. During this time, Chandra approached Melisa not because Chandra also liked Melisa. Just as an escape only when he felt tired of his own feelings.
The reason why Chandra chose Melisa, is because Chandra knew her underclassman had an interest in her since her early years. But Chandra ignored him.
That experience is what makes Melisa until now afraid to have high expectations of someone, even if asked, if Melisa can forget everything?
No. gabe. Melisa has not forgotten her pain. Even just by hearing Chandra's name alone, all the memories with the man a person replayed in his memory, even the pain of that night felt so clear!
Since then Melisa has always hoped never to meet and see Chandra's face again!

Gibran :
Are you home, Mel?
Melissa?
Is there anyone?
______
Melisa glances at a glance at the cellphone that continues to sound indicating there is a new message notification. But for some reason, Melisa had no interest in touching it at all. But as soon as Gibran's name crossed his mind he immediately grabbed the flat object and smiled when his guess was right.

Melisa smiled faintly, she pressed the video call button and was instantly received by Gibran. Gibran was smiling happily across the street.
"Where, can a little treat?" ask Melisa while smiling.
"More kangen."
Melisa shook her head softly when she saw the change in expression on Gibran's face that instantly looked so lethargic.
"Spirited dong."
Gibran. It makes him look more lethargic.
"Enhance, dear."
"What, Mel?"
"No," said Melisa flat.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you say anything. Repeat once again!"
"No way."
"Please.." persuaded Gibran with eyes sparkling expectantly. Making Melisa turn the eyeball lazy, at the end of which she relented.
"Excite, my dear Om Gibran... How, satisfied?!"
"Yes, yes, he continued his work!"
"Couldn't you miss, huh?"
"Kangen" Melisa said without looking at the camera.
"Mails?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Come here!"
Melisa stared at the screen of her mobile phone featuring half of Gibran's body, the man sitting in his work chair in a white shirt complete with a long black tie.
"I love you." Gibran kissed her thumb and index finger which formed a mini heart that floated specifically for Melisa. Without forgetting also by displaying a smiling face that destroys the heart of anyone who sees it!
Melisa herself immediately hid her face reddened by Gibran.
"Hahahaha, baper huh?"
"No."
"Related, Deck?"
"Related."
"Yes, I just wanted to say. I love you so much, you should know that!"
"Yeah, you know." Melisa tries to hold back her smile, which makes Gibran even more eager to tease her. But baby, time is not on their side.
"I work first, yeah. Later on again."
"Yes, spirit..."
"Bye, honey."
"Bye."
Melisa instantly buried her face on the pillow. Powerless to hide his feelings, lying if he doesn't baper with Gibran's treatment!
"Om-om is more troubling!"

Hesti stared at the empty chair beside Livi. Tonight they had dinner alone, Papa and Gibran were still in the office, there was some work to be done.
"Livi?"
"Yes, Ma. Why?"
"So right in the minimarket Mama met a girl who was like a school with you."
"What's the matter, Ma?"
"It's okay, Mama is happy just the same practice, today it's difficult to find a good teenager attitude."
"Isn't he? So curious about the same person!" muttered Livi. Because my mom doesn't usually tell me things like this.
"Oh yes, Ma. Where is your favorite mother-to-be? Tumben never played here?"
"Sir Euni?"
"Yes that. Why is he suddenly telling me now?"
"He said a lot of work, so he hasn't been able to play here again!"
"Isn't he rejected by Gibran?"
"So, Mama doesn't know either. Mama was surprised by your brother, why is it so hard to nerima Euni?!"
"Ma, where do you know. The girl that Brother Gibran likes, if coupled with KAK Euni, nothing, far away. Like the sky and the well. I'm beautiful, nice, sweet, loving again!"
"Emang Livi ever see you?"
"Early dong. Kan Classmate Li-" Livi immediately stopped her speech, put in two mouthfuls of rice and pretended to chew and did not care for the curious gaze of her Mama.
"Livi?"
"Emmm, Mama's cooking is unmatched." exclaimed Livi as she continued to put in feed after mouthful.
Hesti shook his head slowly, aware of Livi who was avoiding her question. "Silver sister is the same, play secrets."
"Unclassmate? That means the girl Gibran likes is still in school? High School boy? Is that true?"
Inner Nesti guessed.
"I'm sorry, Ma. Livi doesn't want to cover something from Mama, but Livi thinks, Gibran's sister who deserves to recognize her to Mama" Livi said before leaving her room.
"Gibran, watch out for you! You owe a lot to Mama!" hesti's growled curiosity with the figure of the girl who managed to captivate his son, to make Gibran reject Euni - the girl of his choice!
