"Fry, wet cake and a variety of chips" Gista said.

"Did you make it yourself?"ask Rafka.

"Yes President" Gista said.

"I know the President, I'm sorry" Gista said.

"I don't mind your desire to trade, so how about you trade in the cafeteria during the break and before work starts in the morning" Rafka said.

"Can I still trade President?" ask Rafka.

"Yes, later I will make you a place to trade at the company's kantin" Rafka said.

"You can go back to your room" Rafka said.

"Good President" Gista said.

Gista walked out of Rafka's office, she went back to her study. Meanwhile Rafka was still sitting in the work chair just staring into the glass window in her study. He knew Gista was lying to him.

"Gista you're lying to me, I know you can't lie" Rafka said.

The Flash Back On

Rafka recalls her school days while sitting on the bench of High School. At that time he followed the School Orientation Period (MOS). At that time Gista cried in class because he forgot to bring the task given by his sister. Rafka who accidentally passed the class heard Gista's voice crying. Rafka enters the class approaching Gista.

"Why are you crying?"ask Rafka.

"Hik..hik...hik....."Gista was still crying, his eyes looked swollen.

"Let's gather in the field later the big brother punishes us if it's too late" said Rafka.

"Hic...hik...hik...."Gista was still crying.

"If you don't tell me why you're crying, I know" Rafka said.

"Hic...hik...hik....."Gista was crying harder.

"Heo you, don't cry harder, people think I hurt you" Rafka said.

"My cardboard hat is left behind, I will definitely be punished around the field hik...hik.

"Oh, that's why you're crying" Rafka said.

Rafka took out her cardboard hat from inside her backpack. He gave his cardboard hat to Gista.

"Take mine" Rafka said.

"But it's yours" Gista said.

"Get it, I don't need it" Rafka said.

"You will be punished for not carrying this cardboard hat" Gista said.

"I'm a man, I'm usually punished" Rafka said.

Gista takes Rafka's cardboard hat given to her by Rafka.

"Thank you" Gista said.

"Sama-sama" Rafka said.

"My name is Gista Devina" Gista said, introducing herself to the handsome man standing at her desk.

"My name is Rafka Alexsandro" said Rafka to introduce herself to the beautiful hijab girl sitting in the chair.

"Let's meet in the field" Rafka said.

"Yes"gista said.

Rafka and Gista walked together towards the field where they had gathered in the morning.

Gista got into his class. Rafka also returned to his class. The older brother began to check the completeness of the MOS participants.

"Rafka where's your cardboard hat?"ask Yuda a big sister.

"Kak's Missing" Rafka said.

"Why can you miss?"ask Yuda.

"Forgot to take Sis" Rafka said.

Rafka is forced to lie to save Gista. He didn't care if he would be punished by his brother's maid.

"forget? that's part of the task you have to carry" Yuda said.

"Sorry Brother" Rafka said.

"Well, now you run the field ten times" Yuda said.

"Good Brother" Rafka said.

All students return to class except Rafka who has to circle the field ten times. Gista who briefly saw Rafka before entering his class he felt guilty. He should have been punished but Rafka was punished.

After the break Gista approached Rafka who was sitting under a tree. He brought orange juice to Rafka.

"Rafka"gista.

Raka turned her head to the side, Gista stood carrying orange juice in her hand.

"It's orange juice for you" Gista said, giving Rafka the orange juice.

"In what order did you give me orange juice?"asked Rafka while receiving orange juice from Gista.

"As my apology for earlier I should have been the one who was punished by Big Brother" Gista said as she lowered her head in guilt.

"Oh that's why, take it easy I'm used to the law" Rafka said.

"But your punishment this time is because of me" Gista said.

"I'm the one who gave you that hat so you're not wrong" Rafka said.

"Then will you be friends with me" Gista said.

"So that time I gave you a hat you didn't think of me as a friend?"ask Rafka.

"Of course not, smile don't strain like that I'm not a monster" Rafka said.

Gista smiled sweetly at Rafka, from then on they became friends.

Three Years Later

Rafka and Gista sit in the third grade of High School. They were still friends just different classes. But even so they still meet on break or go home from school. Rafka has feelings for Gista. He brought chocolate for Gista. That day he wanted to express his feelings to Gista. He even carried a single red rose.

"School graduation, I want Gista to know how I feel" Rafka said.

Rafka thinks that later Gista accepts his love he will go to college in the same place as Gista. He wants to marry Gista after college.

Rafka walks into Gista's class 3 in IPA 2, but Gista is not in that class. Rafka asks Gista where she is in the class.

"Fika, where's Gista?"ask Rafka.

"Earlier with Derry in the school garden" said Fika.

"Derry?"rafka was surprised.

Rafka does not know that Gista knows Derry class 3 IPS 4. All this time Rafka only knew Gista was close to him. Even if you have the most classmates.

"You don't know if Gista and Derry are engaged" Fika said.

"What's? Gista and Derry getting engaged?"rafka was surprised.

"Yes, he said they will marry young after graduating from High School" said Fika.

"Married"in Rafka.

Rafka is shocked when she hears of Gista's plans to marry Derry. Like being struck by lightning the day Rafka heard that. All his dreams with Gista are shattered already. He had no idea all of this would come suddenly like this. He had not even prepared himself to hear it.

"Yaudah, thank you for the info" Rafka said.

"OK" said Fika.

Rafka out of class 3 IPA 2. He walked to the park at his school. Rafka sees Gista sitting under a tree with Derry. Gista looks happy to be next to Derry.

"Gista, do I have to let you go with Derry? I haven't told you my true feelings for you. Are you gonna be happy with Derry? I'll be happy if you're happy even if it's not with me" Rafka said.

"May you be happy Gista, I will try to forget this feeling and make all these wonderful memories that I will remember later. If it is a match maybe we will meet later" said Rafka.

Rafka left the school park. He returned to Gista's class and put a bunch of red and brown roses in his stool drawer. Then Rafka dropped out of that class.

Rafka never saw Gista again. During graduation Rafka High School tried to avoid Gista. He didn't want to see Gista. But that way he tried to forget his love for Gista. He didn't want to see Gista back later he would have a hard time forgetting her. Everything he did for his own good and Gista.

Gista married Derry after graduating from High School. Due to an invitation from Gista, Rafka finally decides to attend Gista and Derry's wedding. Although her heart aches, Rafka tries to be present to honor Gista as a friend she knew three years ago. Rafka sees Gista and Derry from a distance. He saw Gista's smile of happiness emanating. That makes Rafka has let go of Gista with Derry.

"Gista congratulations, hope you're happy. Our meeting at that time became the most beautiful memory of my life. You were my first love in three years of high school. Goodbye my first love" Rafka said.

Rafka came out of the wedding hall. His smile was wide after completely letting go of Gista with Derry. He will move forward and reach his goals. Maybe one day he will meet his true love.

The Flash Back Off

"It felt like just yesterday it all happened" Rafka said.

"It turns out it's been ten years since then" Rafka said.

Rafka begins to work on his work piling up on his desk. He took a look at the picture of Diana on his desk.

For Rafka even though Diana has gone far but her love remains in her heart. Diana was the best memory of her life. She's the second woman Rafka loves after Gista. And the woman he married after college.

"Alhamdulillah my work has begun to finish this morning, I pray dhuha first deh" said Rafka.

Rafka took ablution in his private toilet in his study room and he spread his prayer mat on the floor of his study room and then he prayed dhuha. Finish dhuha Rafka prayer to take the dhikr and pray.

"O Allah, I leave everything to you. If I have to remarry, I leave it to you. Thou art the All-Knowing, amen" Rafka said in his prayer.

After the prayer dhuha Rafka returned to work at his work desk. He tries to be passionate in doing all the things in his life. He believes everything that begins with the spirit of the result will be good because it is done with joy and earnest.
