"Gio, don't forget later in the day you have to come to campus XYZ ! Your papa will be very angry if you miss it," said the uncle reminded.
"Om Sure ! Gio must have come" Gio replied as he lifted his face for a moment, before he sank back into his hectic work.
And without his Om was known, Gio not only remembered with his duty today to come to the campus. But, he was also impatient to come there. The volume of work that is crazy, and the clock out of the house that is very tight makes Gio can not move freely to find Amara's whereabouts.
Since morning Gio has busied himself with his work so that the burden is not too heavy when he returns later. Although he was busy with many tasks, but the contents of his head were only filled by a girl named Amara. Gio had never met him.
Gio had also arranged the words of apology he would say when he met him later. If the girl asks for compensation even Gio will not refuse her, he will give her as much as Gio can. Because now the state of Gio is limited.
But Gio will find the best way out until the girl does not feel wronged. The reason, after almost 5 weeks passed but there was not a single police report about him. And that made Gio very anxious. Gio was afraid that the girl was hurting herself and that would make her feel very guilty.
Seconds by second passed. All Gio did was always look towards the clock that was twisting his wrist. He did not want to be late, even he had devised a strategy to get the data of the students. No matter how much it is, Gio will keep looking for him.
At 11 o'clock Gio also cleared his desk. Just about to leave, his heart was already pounding uncontrollably. Making Gio have to adjust his breathing to calm down.
"Will you go ?" Tanya Om Johan who is the younger brother of his father.
"Yes, Om," replied Gio.
Johan watched his nephew from head to toe. Gio looks very different. Of course it is different in a good sense. The man looks charming in his suit which Johan believes is definitely new. Her hair was neatly combed, and a masculine fragrance poured out from her tall, well-built body.
"You look very handsome, Gio," praised the sincere uncle.
"really ? Thanks Om, Gio just does not want to embarrass Papa," replied Gio reasoned, and Johan nodded his head.
"Okay Om, Gio go first yes," said Gio as he grabbed the keys of his car lying on the table. Still with his heart pounding uncharacteristically, Gio stepped his foot out of the room. He will go to college to be a speaker, representing his father.
Though his main goal is not that, Gio goes to look for the whereabouts of a girl named Amara. The one whose identification was always Gio carried in his pocket. It never missed a single day for Gio not to take her. Though he had never met the girl, but somehow Gio already felt 'bound' to her.

"Yes God... You are so beautiful, Ara ! I want to fly home just to kiss you !!" Praise Danis to Amara through the video call she is making. The sweet words that Danis spoke made both of Amara's cheeks red.
As the lecturer ordered, today Amara looks neater.. He no longer wears a sweater with a hood that always covers his head. Especially today Amara wore a blouse of high-collared flowers. His long hair, Amara braids to make it look neater. Her face was given natural makeup by Dea, her cousin. Amara looks very different than usual.
"It feels like just now seeing you like this again, I barely recognized Amara the last month. You changed so much, as soon as I left," said Danis regretfully. He felt a change for Amara because of her. While Amara, her chest felt tight when Danis said that.
I want Amara to say that she changed not because she was abandoned, but there is a trauma that Amara wants to cover up.
"You look more beautiful like this, Ara," continued Danis, without knowing that Amara's feelings were very broken when she heard his words.
"But I'm sure there will be a lot of guys who like you. Tell them that Amara belongs to Danis Atmaja A !! No one should approach let alone dare to have it !" Danis was so possessive.
The sense of happiness is also the guilt Amara felt at the same time. She is happy because Danis expresses her feelings out loud, but Amara also feels guilty because she is no longer holy. Amara kept smiling at her lover. He felt a tremendous pain in his heart.
"Danis, yes, yes. The show will start soon" said Amara.
"alright... Good luck, my dear. I'm really proud of you" Danis said.
"Thank you" Amara smiled sweetly at her lover.
"Ara, remember... Take care of your heart just for me. I love you so much, and always wait for you here. Don't get close to any man" Danis said again before ending her call.
Amara did not answer him, all he did was nod his head slowly. He really didn't know what to say to his girlfriend.
Every Danis said about 'other men' made Amara even worse in her guilt. And not only that, Amara also increasingly hated himself and also the man who had taken away his honor.
Amara was still busy with her phone when the room began to row because of the arrival of the guests who had been waiting for it. Especially the women who were whispering to each other when they saw a young man in a suit entering the meeting room accompanied by several bodyguards behind him.
His tall body and also his handsome face made the students look amazed at him. The man immediately went up on stage because he was going to be the speaker.
The show started running but Amara still bowed her head, focusing on the screen of the phone she was holding. He was watching his photos with Danis on his girlfriend's social media account. Amara smiled as she read the caption in each photo. Danis always says longing words on her posted photos.
"Yes God... Very handsome.... Who's the soul mate" said Amara's friend who was sitting right next to her. Amara and her friends were sitting on the second bench from the front. Until they could see Gio clearly. So will Gio, he will be able to see Amara clearly if Amara speaks later.
"His smile melts his heart" said his friend who sat next to Amara. Even subconsciously he shook Amara's hand until the girl's phone slipped out of his grasp.
"Yes aampuuun Vi... Ordinary is !" Sizzle Amara while glaring. He bent his body to reach for his dropped phone.
"Sorry, Ara... So do not maen HP only ! It saw who was speaking in front" whispered his friend Via.
Amara turned her head, looking at the man who was talking on stage. Amara remembered the man. He is someone who has taken away his pride.
Like a hammer smashed in his heart, Amara suddenly felt nauseous. His stomach was turbulent in pain, his body was trembling and cold sweat began to drench his palms. His chest tightened, Amara had difficulty breathing.
"A-I have to go... I-I have to go" Amara said in her heart. The shadow of Gio's oppressive body was also snapping at him flashed across Amara's head at this moment, making his body tremble even more.
Spontaneous Amara stood up, intending to leave while Gio still delivered his words of welcome. What Amara did made her the center of attention.
"Mara, what are you doing ? Mr. Gio is still giving his speech, it is not time for you to talk" said the host who turned out to be Amara lecturer.
Hearing Amara's name, made Gio's chest pound hard. He looked at Amara and looked at her face. A sense of relief, pleasure, anxiety and also fear filled Gio's heart at this moment.
The eyes of the two clashed and locked for a moment. Amara saw the man filled with hatred.
"Mara ?" Ask the host again because Amara never spoke.
"I ask permission to leave, sir," said Amara coldly, without taking her eyes off Gio.
"Mara, the show's just getting started. Please sit down first," said the lecturer while giving a view of horror to Amara.
Amara did not budge, she still stood up and looked at Gio with teeth chattering to suppress her anger.
"Fra... Why are you this ? Let's sit down !" Said his two friends while shaking Amara's hand. Trying to persuade the girl to sit down because their lecturer had already seen emotions in Amara.
