Heartiness
Chapter 42 #S3

Egga and Pak Wijaya walk down one of the luxury restaurants in the city of Medan. He deliberately went to the restaurant at the request of the father, aka Pak Wijaya. Not many visitors come to the restaurant because only certain people can enjoy the place.

Egga approached one of the tables that had been reserved by Pak Wijaya before.

As they sat down, a few people they knew approached them.

Egga saw the figure of Zia with her Papa who approached them and sat down together. Like the meeting that was planned before.

Egga did not know about this meeting at all, because Pak Wijaya had not talked to him.

"Hey...". Zia greeted him and smiled.

Egga simply replied with her smile.

They really enjoyed the meeting by chatting lightly about their business.

" Well... Looks like you guys really fit in. No mistake Papa and Om Wijaya plan to match you both he he he he". Papa of Zia, the Judge, surprised Egga.

"What's?". Egga's eyes were wide-eyed even barely choking.

" Yes, I mean this meeting. Papa Samo Om Hakim wants to match you with Zia, because you also may not live too long alone and you have known each other for a long time, so we thought to make this match. Papa had also told Zia, and Zia agreed with this matchmaking. It's just you, but Papa's sure you're the same as Zia". Mr. Wijaya also added to the core of the meeting.

Egga was completely silent, he did not know what to say. He saw the look on their faces that looked happy and enthusiastic about the plan.

As for Zia, her hope was achieved already. He was increasingly reluctant to return to Singapore and he was really happy about the plans of their parents who accidentally granted his prayers.

Egga was speechless staring at her photo with Tari located on her office desk. He rubbed the Dance section and unconsciously shed his tears.

"I miss you beib". Sluggishly.

#trieg...

Egga grabbed her phone and saw the newly sent message on her WhatsApp.

#" Hi Ga. Why else? I'm bothering you?". It was a message from Zia.

Egga put her phone back on the table without replying to a chat from Zia. He looked back at the photo in the frame.

#triiiing... Triiin.. Triiin...

Egga closed her eyes for a moment, lazily reaching back for her phone.

#"Assalamualaikum Japan. I want nanya. Did you see my book when we left yesterday? I realized that my book was missing. How to know the book fell on your car or not accidentally carried away with you".

Egga thought the sound of the notification was a message from Zia again, it turned out to be a message from Ratna.

#ewaalaikumsalam. I never saw the book again until I brought it. But later I try to check in my car, it's easy - I hope it falls in my car". Egga also returned it.

Ratna #"Yes, it's easy, because it's bad if the book doesn't meet".

Egga #"What book is it?".

Ratna #" It's just a normal notebook. Thank you Ga".

Egga #"Oh...! Not to mention I've said terimakasi, he he he".

Ratna #"Yeah... Thank you for wanting to help me out he he he".

Egga #"Hmm yes. Oh yeah, what are you doing?".

And bla... Blah... Blah.... (Chat - chatan continues and ignores the message from Zia)

Egga immediately checked her car after she finished chatting with Ratna. It did not take long he searched, the book was really in his car. Now the leather-bound book and tied with a hemp rope was already in Egga's hands. He immediately took his cell phone to contact Ratna.

Not yet had he contacted Ratna, he accidentally saw something on the cover of the back of the book. He saw something familiar to him, a small piece of paper containing poetic words.

"He still keeps it? It's been a long time". Egga gave a small laugh at the paper that Ratna had intentionally placed on the back cover of the book.

Egga gave up her intention to contact Ratna, she decided to meet him in person tomorrow morning.

The next day, Egga had already arrived in front of Ratna's house without contacting her first.

"Waaah... I don't want to order a taxi online again he he he he". Ratna purposely mocked him when she saw Egga standing before her.

Egga laughing.

" Ha ha ha, indeed. Because this online cabbie is special for the perfect woman this one he he he he". Egga replied.

"Ha ha ha. Already ah. You didn't tell me you wanted to come here?".

" Yes, because I think you are home again so why would I bother calling you again, mending samperin directly right? Oh yea. This is...". Egga handed him the book he had been looking for from yesterday.

"Alhamdulillah!". Excitement with sparkling eyes - twinkle.

" Just let me guess, the book must be on you". He also took the book.

"Yes. The book is under the car seat".

" Oh. Thank you so much Ga, good to see you he he he".

"Yes the same - the same. Oh yea! I didn't intentionally look at the back cover of the book. If you can figure out why you're sticking that paper behind her?".

Ratna turned the book around and showed the paper.

"Oh this... Yes, this is my first canned letter from someone. Lebay, right? he he he. Even though I do not know who this canned letter is from but I will keep it as a memory. Teens - wear it, right? He he he". He blushed answering.

" So he didn't know until now that it was from me?". Egga asked in her heart while smiling at the innocent Ratna.

Flashbacks...

#Silent figure that makes me very curious about him.

I never stopped watching him.

You are a different person than the others.

Makes me want to get closer to him.

Hi....!

Have a nice day..!

The words were written by Egga on a small piece of plain white paper for her classmate whom she had always admired, Ratna. Then he put the paper on his desk before the owner of the table entered the classroom.

Now Egga sat back to the beginning so that no one suspected him, then the bell rang and made the other students run into the classroom.

Egga glanced at the figure appearing in the middle - the middle of those scrambling wanted to sit on their respective chairs.

Ratna frowned when she saw a piece of paper measuring 5 cm x 5 cm containing the words that were deliberately tucked in her notebook. He glanced around the class and watched his classmates one by one, but nothing suspicious at all.

Egga stole - stealing his gaze towards Ratna's desk, he held his smile when he saw her already received the paper and he felt happy to see her smile when reading the contents of the paper.

Flash on's...

Egga fell silent again while remembering when he was in class with Ratna in High School, he had time to sing his smile when he remembered that his past events were funny.

"If you remember - remember it turns out funny also at that time, if you think - think also it turns out my love does not clap the hand he he he, he, he, it's just me who doesn't dare to reveal the identity of the sender of the letter but if it's not like that maybe fate will be different again. Haaah is really funny this life he he he he". Egga laughed to herself in her room and looked at her picture with Tari.
