The morning greeted the world. Sunlight passed through the cracks of the window, entering the room of a beautiful girl who was still fast asleep. The birds chirped very melodiously and the sound of vehicles had been heard crowded out there.

The girl yawned. “What time, anyway?” ask himself with life not yet fully accumulated.

“Non, let's get down. Aunty has prepared a special breakfast for Non Rida, here!” bi Inem shouted from behind the door.

“Iya, Bi, later. Rida wants to take a shower first,” reply Rida. Then, get out of bed and hurry to perform the bathing ritual.

I didn't spend a long time in the bathroom. Rida doesn't need stretch, skincare, and all sorts of things that other girls usually use. He also did not feel at home if he had to linger in the bathroom, his body could be cold. After finishing the bath, he went down and out of his room to the dining table. There is plenty of food available at the dining table.

Will someone come to the house? inner Rida.

“Who wants to go home, Bi?” asked Rida while pulling up a chair to sit on.

“Nothing. Who indeed? Temen Non Rida?” ask Bi Inem.

“Terus ... This, really, a lot of food?”

“Oh, that Auntie accidentally cooks a lot for the morning, early Non Rida back same Aunt here. It can't be, huh?” ask Bi Inem.

“Kirain anyone wants to come. No, kok. Thanks, yes, Bi .. more dear, deh,” reply.

When it showed at 10:15 WIB, Rida was well dressed to go to her papa school. He can't wait to continue his education in Indonesia. Therefore, today he will go to school and meet with the principal to enroll. Arriving at the school area, he got the usual gazes he got from the men.

“Crazy, gorgeous it chick.”

“Njir! Who, tuh? Very excited.”

“Wow, angel of heaven descending to the parking lot.”

“Dih, really beautiful prettiness.”

“Fix, he's my soul mate.”

“The new kid is like.”

“Cih, still beautiful also I.”

Many words are thrown by men and women who are sirik and admire the beauty of Rida. Rida who realized it was just a joke. In middle school, he was like that too. From praise to humiliation he got. So, this kind of condition was already no surprise to him.

Rida walked down the hallway of the school towards the principal's room. Along the way, he always gets a look from the people around him. After finding a room that says R. The Headmaster above the door, he went straight in there.

“Good, Sir. Thank ye. So, from tomorrow I can already attend school here?” rida asked after a long conversation with the Headmaster.

“Yes, from tomorrow onwards you can study here and later there will be your teacher who takes you to enter the classroom,” said Mr. Headmaster, giving directions.

“Good, Sir. Again I say thank you. Then excuse me first, yes, sir,” said to Rida politely. Rida came out of the room. The headmaster also returned to his activities in front of his laptop.

While walking through the school hallway, he suddenly remembered something that had not been conveyed. “Gosh!” Rida patted her eel, “gue forgot. What if it's found out?” said Rida. When he was about to turn around, he immediately set his intention to turn around.

Now Rida is in the parking lot, where her car is parked. Not to forget also he got a gaze from the men who skipped lessons and was hanging out in the parking lot to do things that are not useful, smoking one of them. However, Rida did not care. He got into his car and drove out of the school.

Today, Jakarta is in a state of traffic jam. The clock has shown at 13:00 WIB, but Rida is still in line in the middle of the road because of traffic jams. This makes him careless because before he had never been stuck in traffic like now when in Japan. Seeing there was a supermarket on the side of the road, the girl immediately turned her car into the yard of the supermarket. He went out and put his foot inside the supermarket, going around looking for his favorite cold drink in the freezer. Retrieved a plastic bottle that says ’Fruit Tea’ in the middle of the bottle packaging.

When Rida was about to walk to the cashier to pay, she did not see a supermarket employee mopping the floor. As a result, Rida slipped. Luckily, there was a man in a school uniform who was quick to catch Rida's body. The posture of the male body is ideal. His skin is hazel brown, his hair is smooth and fluffy, and has a handsome face. Rida's pair of eyes and those of the man met each other. They look at each other like scenes in Indian movies.

“Be careful. The floor is still wet,” the man said with a smile. That smile would definitely make the girls who saw it instantly melt.

Rida who saw him was fascinated. Without realizing it, his cheeks were red.

Very handsome, oh my goodness. May be my soul mate, bismillah, her inner self.

“Pipi lo why red?” asked the man when he saw Rida's cheeks flushed red.

“Ha? A timing? No, really, it's okay,” reply Rida restless. The man just smiled, further fascinated Rida. Rida's so ridiculous.

“Can you know whose name lo?” the man asked, extending his hand to Rida.

Rida was dumb, silent for a moment as the man reached out before her. What a dream he had last night, now even meet a handsome man.

“Eh .. Rida Agustin,” Rida replied after receiving her hand.

“Lo is really okay, ‘kan?” ask the man.

“Ha? No, it's okay. Seriously, deh,” replied Rida by pointing her two fingers up.

Again the man just smiled, more and more to make Rida captivated by his sweet smile.

Don't smile, dong, please. I'm baper, here. You have to take responsibility, Rida's mind while closing her eyes. He briefly imagined if he was making out with this man in front of him.

“Bby temenan gak?” ask the man.

Rida jumped in shock, then opened her eyes and rounded them. He patted his cheek slowly. This isn't a dream, ‘kan? Very handsome, I swear. I think I dream of this, Rida with a gaze staring at the floor.

“Hai, how? Can I?” asked the man, managed to break Rida's daydream.

“Ha? Oh, yes you can, really. Can,” reply Rida nervously. I don't know why it's like this, but it usually isn't.

“Arzan,” said the man, telling him his name.

After Rida paid for her drink, she and Arzan sat in a courtyard chair that the supermarket had provided for her customers.

“Lo not school?” tanya Arzan started the conversation.

“Gue just register,” reply Rida, trying to relax.

“How do you mean? Kok, new list?” tanya Arzan did not understand what Rida said just now.

“Iya, I just signed up. You see, I just returned to Indonesia yesterday,” explained Rida.

“Oh so, where are you from?” ask Arzan like a lawyer.

It's mute, deh. Kayak Bi Inem aja, like his nanya-nanya, Rida's nagging in the heart.

“Gue from Japan, has been there since graduating from Junior High. I went to Japan with my parents because of work that can not be left.” Rida explained in detail.

“Oh that, pantesan,” chirps Arzan.

“Planner? Why?” rida asked confused by what Arzan had said just now.

“Eh, no. That means, em .. pantesan new list so the school,” replied Arzan reasoned. “Sorry, yes,” he continued while scratching his non-itchy nape.
