Rachel walked step by step. For some reason, Jasper's rejection of his cooking made the girl a little sad.
"I know he doesn't like me. But does it have to be to throw food away? She didn't know, out there a lot of people have to work hard to get food," Rachel smiled bitterly as she stared at her white sneakers.
"Wait on! Why should I be sad?" Rachel tried to control her emotions.
Rachel accelerated her footsteps. Classes will start in 15 minutes. After Jasper threw away her cooking, Rachel pensively stayed in the kitchen for a long time. So he did not realize if the lecture time will soon begin.
"Hey, Miss Bulgaria? You walk to college again?" A young man riding in a blue Convert*ible mini-car.
"Hey, Hans!" Reply Rachel to Hans, a classmate who the other day once gave a cane.
"You're on foot again?" Hans asked again.
"Yes. There were no buses or taxis passing by," Rachel glanced back.
"Then go up, Miss Bulgaria!" Tell Hans to Rachel with such a charming smile.
"Alright," without making small talk, Rachel got straight into Hans's car which had an open roof. It is too hypocritical for Rachel to refuse, because she must come quickly to campus, to attend lectures on time.
Hans is a classmate of Rachel and also Jasper. He is quite famous on campus for his good looks. And what makes it even more popular is because Hans is a student who often changes lovers. There have been many students who have been dated by him, then he just appeared. Hans just wanted to have fun spending his youth, he thought.
There was no chatter when Rachel and Hans were together in the same car. Rachel's mind still remembered how Jasper had so much heart to throw away the waffle he had painstakingly made. While Hans, occasionally glanced at the girl next to him.
"Why don't you leave early? You certainly wouldn't have walked like that" Hans broke a long silence between them.
"I have business first," Rachel answered accordingly. Rachel stared at the brownish-red mapple leaves. This indicates the coming of autumn.
"Why is the weather so dark?" Rachel looked at the cloudy sky.
"Yes, because it's time for the season to change. From summer to entry into autumn," Hans answered rationally.
"I don't like autumn" murmured Rachel who was heard by Hans' ears.
"Why?"
"Because I have to see the trees prick their leaves. If in Bulgaria when going into autumn, I often see animals preparing to return to their nests. Then, after that the animals migrated to another place."
Rachel was silent, the animals that migrated describe her who is now also migrating to another country for a better life. Migratory animals will return to the nest long after the winter is over. Will Rachel ever return to Bulgaria when her marriage to Jasper is over? Rachel thinks the answer is yes.
"Then, what season do you like?" Hans asked while focusing on driving his car.
"I love the spring. I love the flowers that bloom. I love roses, so I added Ruzha behind my name."
"Rachel Olivia Ruzha, what a beautiful name," Hans smiled.
On the other hand, Hans who was driving, was quite surprised to hear Rachel could talk a lot. Because in class, the girl didn't talk much. He will only listen to the lecturer's explanation, then ask as necessary.
"It's over" tell Hans when they get to the parking lot.
"Thank you, Hans. I've troubled you twice already" Rachel made small talk.
"Either. You're not bothering me."
"I go first," Rachel got out of Hans' car and walked toward the economics faculty.
"He wasn't waiting for me to come out?" Hans looked at Rachel's back which was getting further away.
"Honey, who are you going with?" Asked a reddish-black-haired girl who was none other than Hans' new lover.
"He's my friend," Hans was still staring at Rachel's back which was getting smaller.

"I've been looking for you from yesterday. Your mom said you moved? I was so shocked when your mama said you wanted to live independently," Aurora looked at Jasper who was sitting next to her.
"Yes. I want to focus on learning. You know that, right? Kimberly had moved back home, "Jasper used his sister's excuse to go.
Since Jasper's marriage, Kimberly has lived with Kai and Alula. As a child, Kimberly lived with her grandparents.
"Where's your new house? Can I play at your house?" Pinta Aurora blatantly.
Rachel's reflexes turned directly towards the back. He saw Jasper staring at him.
"Allright? I'm not alone. I can invite other friends. Of course you're gonna show your new home to your little best friend, right?"
Jasper still didn't flinch in his chair. While Rachel, she now turned her eyes towards the front.
"May," Jasper replied in the end.
After the last lecture, Rachel saw Jasper and Archie come out of the classroom with a small laugh. Rachel felt Jasper really did not consider himself to exist.
Rachel just took a slow breath. Deep down, Rachel wanted to be friends and have a good relationship with her husband. But for some reason, he seemed to be being played with by the wrong time and atmosphere.
Rachel walked out of the campus gate. Before long, her husband's car passed by and passed her by. It was as if the young man had really not seen his presence.
"Bulgarian Girl? You again?" Hans stops his car next to Rachel.
"Hey!" Greet Rachel clumsily. Because when in class they are not close friends who often chat.
"Would you like to get in my car again or not?" Bargain Hans with his big smile.
"No, Hans. Thank ye. I'm in no hurry" Rachel refused. After all, she was a married woman. It's not good if he goes with another man.
Rachel decided to take the bus to make it more economical. A moment later, Rachel arrives at her new home, where she runs this fake wedding. Rachel went into the room, and she saw Jasper sitting on the bed playing with his phone.
"Archie invited us to his birthday party this Saturday" Jasper told his wife, who was carrying a bag.
"I'm not coming" Rachel was about to go into the bathroom.
"Come! It's not good if you don't come" he said coldly.
Rachel did not answer.
"Bulgarian Girl?" Call Jasper in a slightly elevated tone.
"What?"
Jasper wakes his body, he is seen pulling something out of his bag.
"Try this!" Jasper gave a tespack to his wife.
"Tespacks?" Rachel asked in confusion.
"Wear it so that we know you're pregnant or not after the events of that night."
"If I'm pregnant?" Rachel lowered her voice.
"I will try to accept your presence" Jasper looked the other way.
"And if not?" Rachel stared at the pregnancy test kit in her hand.
"I'll fight Aurora again until the last blood."
