Sharing Love: Winning Without Love
Love and Obsession
A few days since Radit and Khaira went together to the Old City. After the message they sent that night, both of them returned late in their respective activities.
Khaira again struggles with her script exams, Radit returns to her routine as a banking auditor, and Felly also returns to her routine as a hospitality marketing.
That afternoon at Radit's work. Radit, who was taking a break, had a chat with his best friend Dimas.
"Gue watch your face tangle again, Bro, what's the same story I have?" tanya Dimas while giving coffee in cans to Radit.
"Nothing, just a little dizzy me" said Radit while opening the coffee packaging cans given Dimas.
"Bro, can I tell you something about your girl?" ask Dimas slowly. Dimas asked permission first to convey what was in his head.
"Felly?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Why? Tell me I'm okay" said Radit while drinking cold coffee.
"If I notice the look of the girl lo it's not love lo deh, Bro. More about obsession. Sorry Bro, I don't mean. But, lately look at the condition of your relationship looks like you two are not healthy Bro" said Dimas honestly.
"What's an obsession, bro?" radit asked with various thoughts that immediately appeared in his brain.
"If in my opinion yes, the feeling of love is healthier, the feelings and behavior patterns continue to develop toward maturity, the longer the relationship the more there is emotional closeness, accepting the partner as is, the longer the relationship, respecting the privacy of the couple. Meanwhile, if the obsession is due to thinking too much about the partner so difficult to concentrate, trying hard to meet both until a possessive attitude appears, excessive jealousy, chasing the person you like because it can make him calm. Well, now you're trying to think that lo and Felly are either in love or just an obsession." Obviously Dimas was quite firm.
Again, Dimas said to Radit, "Don't spend your time just chasing unhealthy relationships, Bro. We are adults and we have to make decisions. It's time we had a serious relationship. Don't waste time on emotions for a moment. Because if love must be there believe, while if you go anywhere must report to him, is not it possessive? If there is no trust for a long time, what is love? Moreover, lately your face is really tangled, as a friend I know very sure you have a new problem."
"Thank you Bro, you've been watching me. I just feel dizzy anyway. Same kecapean because now I naek motor. If it's right to go home is not raining is good, but if it's raining you know yourself."
However, Radit tries to hide his problem from Dimas. But in his mind, he thought a little about love and obsession. Suddenly he felt doubtful, his feelings so far are only pure love or obsession? So does Felly, whether she really loves him or has another motive behind those love words.
"Don't you say hello, will you come with me tomorrow to campus at lunchtime? I want to make a Student Sign Card (KTM) for book pinjem in the library. If you want to come with me tomorrow." invite Dimas enthusiastically.
"Yes, tomorrow I'm coming. All buy Ketoprak in front of the campus it looks good Bro."
"Okey, tomorrow yes..."

The next day, Khaira rushed to the campus. He still has to follow the thesis guidance before taking the exam. Khaira has prepared with a map containing complete scripts from Chapter 1 to Chapter 5, not only that other completeness such as Table of Contents and Library List, until the attachment sheet has been prepared Khaira.
At about 10 am, Khaira had reached the campus and he soon met Mr. Andreas, his Advisor.
"For Mr. Andreas, I came again for the guidance of Pak's thesis." said Khaira to his Instructor.
"Khaira, how is it complete?" ask him to Khaira.
"Already Sir." as Khaira handed over the blue map containing the script to Mr. Andreas.
"Oh yes, Khaira. Here are some brochures that provide scholarships (scholarships), try to learn first. You know you are interested, but all scholarships are open to universities abroad. You learn first yes, if you need help later you can contact me again yes. I'll see you at the thesis court."
"Thank you Mr. Andreas, I will first learn all this scholarship brochure. Thank you, sir."
Khaira came out of Mr. Andreas' room with a happy face, his thesis trial was in plain sight and now in his hands were some scholarship brochures. Stay towards graduation, and Khaira does intend to continue his education to the level of Master (S2).
Just as he walked with his radiant face, Metta was already waiting for him.
"Is there anyone else happy? How's guidance?" metta asked with her face that also looked happy.
"Currently, just wait for the thesis trial."
"Ashik, a bachelor's degree is in sight, yes Beb" he said jokingly.
"Lo also pursued dong, let's go along with graduation. We made our promise first, right?"
"Yes-yes, I want to. Pray, I can follow. Yes already, buy Ketoprak Cirebon in front of the campus yuk Beb, my laper." invite Metta with enthusiasm. Without waiting for a long time, the girl had held Khaira's hand and led her to walk to the Ketoprak Cirebon stall in front of the campus.
"Sir, Ketoprak two yes sir... Eat here." Khaira ordered two portions of Ketoprak to be eaten at the tent stall.
Not long after, Radit also came to the Ketoprak stall. He did intend to wait for Dimas at the Ketoprak stall, because waiting in the campus area would be boring for him.
After ordering, Radit saw a girl who was involved in an exciting chat with her friend. Yeah, Radit saw Khaira at Ketoprak's stall. Without waiting for long, Radit walked up and approached Khaira.
"Hey, you're here." she said with a smile and took a seat beside Khaira.
"Eh, Mr. Radit... How can it be here? Not in the office, right?" khaira asked with her confused face, but she tried to act ordinary, because there was Metta at this time.
"Yes, just had lunch. I anterin Dimas new into want to make KTM he said."
"Oh, make KTM yes..." Khaira nodded her head. Then he looked at Metta. "Oh yeah, Mas Radit knows this is my best friend, his name is Metta. And, Ta, you still want who this is?" ask Khaira while smiling at Metta.
Radit nodded his head and shook hands with Metta. "Radit, Khaira's husband" she said politely.
"Metta, her best friend Khaira." said Metta, she also did not expect to meet her best friend's husband.
"Have you ordered? Or do I want to go for a penny?" ask Khaira.
"I have a message" he replied with a smile.
"If husband and wife the tone is different yes Say, in the ear sounds sweet." joked Metta bluntly.
Radit and Khaira also throw a smile that is certainly only known to them both the meaning of their smile.
