"Punten yes Kang, it may be coming soon." Rumi said, he should take out a cell phone to contact Shafa or Debora but derelict, when Debby's motorbike has arrived.

Because there is only a Poncho type raincoat, the clothes that Shafa wears are slightly wet.

Both of them got off the bike, with Shafa first. Meanwhile, the travel kenek helped carry Shafa's bag and placed it in the back trunk.

"Sorry, Rumi, wait a long time?" Shafa asked, while taking off his rain coat.

"No. Fortunately you were on time. Thanks to Deb." Rumi.

"Together brother." Answer the girl. He then received a raincoat that had been released from Shafa's body and he folded it as well.

His view also focuses on Debby who chuckles while fixing the Shafa hijab on her forehead.

"Have you?" Ask Shafa.

"It." Debby held out both of her thumbs. They chuckled, after which Shafa rubbed his hands with cold.

"Cold is it mbak? Duh, Shafa's shirt is wet again." Debby.

"It's okay Deb, yeah I got in the car first."

"Wait, Shafa–" Rumi took off her dry jacket, then handed it to Shafa.

The deg...! Debby's eyes were fixed on the jacket that was stretched out toward Shafa.

"I..this? It's right?" Shafa still hesitated to accept it.

"It's okay, just wear it. Your kasian will be cold." Rumi. Slowly Shafa's hand reached for him. While Debby who was in the middle between Shafa and Rumi was just smiling wryly.

"Thank you Rumi." Shafa.

"Together, yes already. There in."

"Yes..." Shafa replied, he then turned to Deborah, who immediately widened his smile back to Shafa's gaze. "Thank you Deb, I'm back."

"Yes mbak... I'll play in Jakarta sometime."

"Promise yes...?"

"Yes, inshaAllah." Answer Debby. Shafa hugged Deborah tightly.

"I pray you can truly become a Muslim." Shafa whispered. Deborah's eyes glazed over.

"Aami... Aamiin, God." Reply Deborah. Hearing that, Shafa smiled. Then let go of his embrace, and walked into the car, with the bouncer holding him.

Not waiting for long, the car drove away from the campus area.
