...***...

In the calmness of that smile, Khanif recalled the times when he knew Rania who blatantly expressed his feelings for her.

At that time, he was a third-grader in a high school. He is also the head of the osis which is loved by many teenage women who know him. One of them is Rania. Rania, who was in the first grade and was also a member of the osis, had been harboring a taste for Khanif since their first encounter.

"Are you okay?" asked a man in gray white clothes while reaching out his hand to help Rania stand up because of a fall due to the slippery floor of the osis room.

"Thank you brother. I'm okay," said Rania - a teenager while receiving a hand of Khanif is so warm.

Rania becomes fascinated with Khanif who is so close to her. A pink tinge appeared on both sides of his cheeks which now also heat up. Shamefully, Rania released the hand of Khanif who had helped her.

"Other times be careful at hours like this, because usually the other members of the osis again picket and will certainly clean this room."

"Yes brother. Thanks for the information. Next time I'll be careful" he replied timidly.

Suddenly from behind him appeared the figure of a woman who was always close to Khanif, the woman was none other than the representative of Khanif, Tasya. Rania did not know, the teenager always made trouble with him even though he never offended him. Until one day, he ventured to ask her what Tasya's problem was.

"His problem?" retaking Tasya made Rania frown in wonder but still nodded in agreement with Tasya's words.

"The problem is, you're always looking for Khanif's attention. You're self-conscious dong. With your cute appearance, where will Khanif be with you! That too Khanif might help you out of feeling sorry for you. But, you even consider that in return for Khanif's feelings for you? Again I say, you should read well in the room, before coming to this school!"

She knew why Tasya had said such a bad thing to her.

"Sway him!" ingenious Tasya before leaving Rania who was getting down.

Tasya's remarks to Rania just now, made Rania start avoiding Khanif. Ironically, the more Rania dodges, the closer Khanif gets to her. Especially when the school wants to hold an art event involving the Intra School Student Organization (OSIS). Inevitably, Rania, who was assigned as a equipment section, must continue to communicate with Khanif, to ask anything needed in the art event that will be held in the next week.

Although actually not only himself who was too close to Khanif at that time. But, with her feelings at that time, making Rania increasingly unable to go to another heart again. It was as if his heart and eyes were only fixed on a Khanif. Even Tasya's words a few days ago were already considered as the last wind.

Yes, he clearly knows why Tasya told him to look at the mirror in the sense that he had to compare himself with others. Sure was! Moreover, Tasya said those things if Tasya saw his face with a look of disgust because it was filled with small bumps in faded red!

Everyone has their own problems in them. Rania is no exception who also has problems in her face and taste. Actually, taste is a big problem for Rania. It's just that, because of the strong desire to consume seafood that is the biggest problem. Rania can say so, because if Rania consumes seafood, then what will be affected by it is the face that is overgrown with faded red acne.

His strong desire to enjoy his favorite food even had a severe impact on him. However, he still could not get rid of that one habit.

Rania sighs heavily when she sees herself reflected in the glass window of the room. "Grow again!" His hand was stretched out on the newly grown red hill on his face.

Khanif who happened to be there, looked at Rania with astonished eyes. He approached Rania. "How are you preparing?"

"Sir Khanif!" Rania is shocked to see Khanif's reflection in the same window as her. Rania turned around in the back. "It's all done, brother. It's just the big brother who reviewed it back and saw if there's anything lacking."

Unknowingly, Rania was still holding onto her newly grown acne that night. Worse, Khanif's sense of wonder has not disappeared until Rania lowered her hand on the face.

Khanif smiled in response. He also left Rania who harbored feelings for him. Before Khanif was completely lost in the hallway of another school, Rania ran after him. He just remembered that there was one thing he had not said.

"Sister, brother Khanif, wait!" rania shouted echoing in the crowded hallway of the students.

The students who happened to be there, looked at Rania with astonished eyes once again. How not, Rania who continues to carry a number of stubborn fat in her body is now running in a hurry to approach Khanif who is almost invisible again.

However, with their strange glances aimed at her, it made Rania no longer care about her running which might make the entire passageway tremble violently. Also, no longer care about anything else. Because of that indifference, it made Rania increasingly accelerate her footsteps towards Khanif who was waiting for her at the end of the hallway.

"Is there something forgetful?" tanya Khanif.

Rania extended a hand forward, like she was about to say that she was taking a deep breath first. Khanif who was not too rushed, followed Rania's will.

"Sorry sister" said Rania.

"It's okay." Khanif smiles. "What are you going to say?" continued.

"This is my sister, said Elsa, one of the dance team could not follow the art show because it fell ill."

"Why don't you replace him."

"But sister, I .. I ...."

"I know you can. In the afternoon, come to school. Later let me tell them that you are the one who replaced the member who fell ill. If there's nothing more you want to say, I'll leave now."

"Yes, no more. Thank you, brother," he said with a big smile, but Khanif did not see it because he was in a hurry to leave before Rania.

How happy Rania was when Khanif gave her the confidence to appear to replace one of the dancers from one of the members of the osis who fell ill. Until that day, Rania occasionally smiled when she remembered Khanif's words to her.

In the distance, someone smiled to see the happy Rania. I don't know, he also doesn't know why he even likes the smile that Rania rarely shows it to others. Although he rarely saw her smile, he was already grateful for what he had seen. He left his place and walked away from there.

As Khanif said this morning. In the afternoon, Rania was already at school for dance practice with the other members. Despite choosing the excess weight, all the dancing members did not struggle when Khanif recommended Rania to replace the members of the osis who fell ill. Of course, not because Khanif is a chairman of the osis, but certainly the decision taken by Khanif is the right decision if weighing the arts event that will be held less than a week away.

Khanif's choice fell on Rania. Look, even not even three days, Rania has memorized all their dance creations. Everything can also happen because of Rania's intelligence and persistence in learning. Without a day Rania was bored or tired of learning to dance in school. Moreover, he repeated it again when he got home. Of course no one denied it even Rania herself.

When Rania had just returned home from training, Rania was shocked when she saw the figure of a middle-aged man standing before her at this moment. His lips instantly turned crazily to summon that middle-aged figure. But even so, Rania still said it, "papa!"
