Chapter 22
“El, same way I yuk. Want me to go to the bookstore? I'll pick you up at your college,”
“Seriously you're making me?”
“It is, you don't want it? Busy again huh?”
Davina dropped out of the classroom immediately contacted her new friend Elvina and asked for the company of Elvina and the bookstore. Elvina did not mind at all, instead pleased. Close to Davina, it was like having a sister.
“No-no, I can get you. I'm the one who picked you up. Uh but I use the motor, you don't want ya?”
“Yes it's okay, you pick me up yes,”
“Totally?”
“Iya really, ride the motor ‘kan? pick me up at school, El. If you want to, and not busy. If not, I am alone,”
“Eh I can, not busy, really,”
“Ya please pick me up yes,”
“But you have talked to your parents or your brother if you do not go straight home but to the bookstore first same me?”
“Iya I've talked,”
“Okay, if so I pick you up,”
“You've finished writing?”
“Live a moment,”
“Okay I wait, be careful, El,”
“Sip thanks yes, Assalamualaikum,”
“Waalaikumsalam,”
“Why did El say thank you to me? What am I giving him?”
Davina had no idea that Elvina was happy to be ordered to be careful. Other than his parents, there was rarely anyone else who was that concerned for him. Although it seems simple, but it means enough to him.

“Pak, Mba Davina is not at school, he said already at home all, sir,”
Pak Indra's report made the new Beni get off the car immediately frowned. “That's right, sir? Did the school drop?”
“Udah, Sir,”
Beni immediately contacted her son with a heart that was pounding with anxiety. He was afraid his son had gone everywhere that should go straight home after school. If you want to go somewhere, Davina should be a permit, and usually so.
“Halo, Pa,”
“Greetings first, Assalamualaikum,”
“Eh yes forgot, Pa. Waalaikumsalam, why, Pa?”
“Iya I'm leaving first, Pa. I'm authorized,”
“Izin to whom? Don't make it up, Davina. Now home! You where? Let Papa pick you up now,”
“Ih Papa, don't pick up first. My man has permission,”
“Yes who is the permission? Huh huh? Same Papa? No chat from you or phone from you. Don't make a shit,”
“I have the same permission Mama, just ask Mama if you do not believe,” said Davina with annoyance because her papa told her to go home.
“Where are you permission? Mama give permission?”
“Yes if Mama doesn't give permission, why do I keep going?”
“Go where?”
“Ke bookstore, Pa,”
“Whose name?”
“Self, I did not lie, heheheh,”
“Davina answered Papa correctly! You don't joke yeah,”
“Let the atmosphere not heat up, Pa, so I'm cairin. I went to the bookstore with Elvina,”
“Try Papa want to see,” said Beni who did not want to believe just like that his son went to the flower shop and with Elvina.
“Yes Allah, Papa does not believe,”
“To be sure, not to believe. If it really is, yes you should not be afraid of the proof,”
“I'm not afraid, Pa. Yes, I video call Papa so Papa can see where I am and who's the same, okay?”
“Okay Papa wants to see now,”
Their phone call ended. And it wasn't long before Davina contacted her papa again with a video call.
“Hai, Pa. Here, Papa can see me again at the bookstore. And I'm the same Elvina,” Davina explained, asking Elvina to show her face on camera.
“Assalamualaikum, Om,”
“Waalaikumsalam, El,”
“Tuh ‘kan true, Pa. I'm not lying,”
“If you've seen it directly, Papa just believed. Thanks for giving the evidence to Papa. So that Papa is sure, because ‘kan lately discussed about dating continues. Yes afraid, you're dating now,”
“Ih Papa don't say that. I'm not dating, especially again in the same bookstore El, and I've the same permission Mama,”
“Why not permission also to Papa?”
“Fear Papa was busy earlier, so I permission to Mama,”
