He who was late to attend class certainly missed breakfast and was forced to focus in his studies even though the stomach was still empty.


Trying to survive even though the stomach acid had overflowing, until after the lesson was over, Rea went to the campus cafeteria, even before the lecturer left the class.


The cafeteria at Harvard's top university looks quite luxurious and also provides four perfectly healthy five meals, more like a 5-star restaurant that opens a store branch within the school.


He is among those who will be uncomfortable if noticed by anyone when eating. Therefore Rea prefers to eat alone and sit on the back corner bench so as not to be seen by others,


It's just all for free, because Fio Aquilani had been watching Rea from the beginning into the cafeteria and it obviously made him curious.


"Rome ....." Call Fio .


"You're bothering me." It was short of Rea's response and she didn't care.


"Sorry, sorry, you don't usually eat in the cafeteria?, do you run out of gas in the dormitory."


"You think this is Indonesia ?." That's one of the natural things there.


"Just curious, what really happened ?."


"I didn't eat breakfast this morning because I woke up late." Rea replied without having to be polite to him.


Fio was surprised, but Rea was really upset to see his face.


"You?, Wake up bad luck ?."


"Indeed wrong?, I'm also a human being who can sometimes get bad."


"But I'm talking about you, you exemplary student who has perfect attendance scores and never skips class. That's obviously unnatural, you're not Rea, who are you really?." Out of nowhere Fio's mind.


"That's enough, you're interrupting my mealtime."


Fio didn't just leave, he still sat at the table where Rea was eating and started to notice the television on the wall.


A story about a murder in a Boston suburban inn, where the case is also related to a human trafficking transaction that has long been sought by the police.


Leisurely and a little laughing Fio gave a comment..."Huwahs.... Terrible, look at that Rea's all the pictures on the sensor, I'm sure there's a lot of blood and pieces of a human body splattered there."


Hearing Fio's comment, Rea immediately stopped chewing and even pulled food back out of her mouth. The feeling of Rea nausea when imagined pieces of the human body are on a plate.


"Aren't you hungry Rea, why don't you finish your food."


"I'm full. Hearing what you said took away my appetite, you know." Reply Rea.


"That's redundant, you know wasting food isn't good, like my mother used to say."


The more complicated Rea's face was to respond to Fio...."I don't want to hear the words of wisdom from women who often drink liquor."


Rea also heard the news on television, where photos of the human trafficker's face shown by the host were so familiar to Rea, even though their names were different.


The distance between the three killed was last night, when police received an unidentified report that an unpleasant odor had come out of the room.


But this makes Rea worried, where he, Anna and one woman named Elissa may be involved in the case, notabenya they are three potential victims who may be kidnapped.


It's just that, regardless of what happened back then, Rea was able to return to the room without a single wound on her body.


"That's terrible, you have to be careful Rea, never be tempted by a foreign man whose origins are unclear, you can be sold to a dimly lit stall." The voice of the man from behind.


Rea turned his head and found that Soldier was carrying a mop to clean the canteen area. For a moment Rea fell silent watching the face of the Soldier quite seriously.


All this was about the shadow of the man who was vaguely present in Rea's memory, although it was not clear because the room was dark, but the voice of the man was quite similar to that of the Soldier.


"What's what?, is there something strange on my face ?." Soldier's speech made Rea aware.


"No, it's nothing, I just feel like I saw you last night."


"It may just be my feeling." Rea's laughter was a little stiff.


On the other hand, Fio felt interested to know the closeness of Rea and Soldier, where as fellow women are aware, not usually Rea talks with the opposite sex except for assignments or lessons.


"Sister Soldier..." Call Fio familiarly and hug Soldier directly.


"Don't hug me from behind, Fio. I can feel something on my back."


"I did it on purpose." Laughter Fio.


"As an Indonesian woman who shows a high level of dignity and dignity you should know the limits of not hugging people carelessly."


"But I'm glad to do it."


Seeing Fio's actions, Rea was shocked and also annoyed, how about it, Fio said to himself if Soldier was only a low quality item, but in reality he was very relaxed even daring to hug.


"I didn't know you two were this close." Rea Saying.


"You just don't know Rea, me and Brother Soldier have been chatting together a lot, and even he rejected my love." Fio's face looked sad, even though it was just a pretense.


Soldiers smiled bitterly...."Don't joke, when did you say that."


"You are so evil for forgetting it, Brother Soldier."


"Let go, there's still a lot of work to be done."


"I don't want to." Reply Fio.


With a feeling of annoyance and envy, Rea forcefully pulled Fio's hand to take off his embrace from the Soldier.


"Do you have no shame, this is a public place you should be able to hold back." Rea was upset.


"True, listen to your friend Fio's advice." The soldiers agreed.


"Why do you bother Rea, there are so many people making out in public, they hugging or kissing each other, there are even people making love on the side of the road, all that is common."


"Your brain is crazy. Don't do things like that." Rea's face was red with the words Fio.


He also now realized, if Rea did show interest in Soldiers, no matter about his status just as cleaning service, Rea funny look jealous.


"Oh yes, Brother Solder, do you have any free time tonight."


"Hmmm not really." Soldiers answered with rejection.


"So you said, always spend the night in the apartment, so you have plenty of time, right ?."


Soldiers can't escape...."Ok, ok... I have time tonight, what do you want ?."


"Let's meet at After Night's discotheque."


"Alright, but remember I don't have much money to buy you." Answer Soldier.


"I understand so take it easy."


Accidentally Fio glanced towards Rea, the more obvious annoyance was seen on his face...."Why do you Rea?, do you want to come too ?."


"That's not necessary, I have to finish my thesis." Rea walked away leaving Fio and Soldier.


"Then, don't be late Brother Soldier." Said Fio who went following Rea from behind.


The gasps were disappointed from Fio, he who wanted to dismantle Rea's stubborn cage and could be honest for his feelings to Soldiers. But still, Rea did not want to admit the jealousy in her heart.
