Soul Change
New Contract House (3)
Azzam will be able to see Stefani every day from next week at the latest. Therefore he seemed carefree to take the ID card belonging to Handoko Stefani's father and go to the photocopying shop at the entrance.
“Happy, Tong!” said the copier who is of original Betawi descent.
Azzam did not answer just smiling. He waited patiently for the fast-paced photocopying and threw a thousand dollars over the storefront while rushing again.
As soon as he arrived, it seemed that the conversation about the agreement was over and his mother filled out the agreement. When the letter of agreement was signed, so happy was Azzam's day. It was as if the place he was listening to in the room after the living room was like a flower garden.
He even escorted the two men who were Stefani's family to the front door.
“If we've stayed here, meet Stefani detained first! You're still in college!” admonish her brother Stefani to Azzam.
He was a little confused to hear it. Azzam's head couldn't understand.
“It seems that the mother's son has not received the blessing of his sister's boyfriend, yes?” his mother's tease that came from behind.
“Azzam same Stefani not dating, Mom!” his elbow.
Even though Azzam wanted to, Stefani still did not seem to want to have such a relationship. The important thing is that Azzam is no longer avoided like it used to be. In the past, to chat with Stefani was difficult not to play.
“Spirit, Son!” Azzam's mother seems to still want to tease the child.
As soon as it was done flirting, Azzam's mother fled inside.
Azzam reached into his pocket and pulled out a cell phone.
Azzam: See you neighbors.
After pressing the send dial, Azzam went inside the house again. Looks like he'll have trouble sleeping tonight, can't wait to see Stefani and hear the news of when the girl will move in.

Daisy falls asleep again after being left alone. He still had time to hear the sound of a closed door outside, followed by the voice of Handoko who asked what had happened.
“What time is it now?” ask Daisy to yourself.
He tried to reach his phone, fumbling before finding it stuck under a pillow.
There's a message from Azzam. The last message said that Maulana and Handoko agreed with the house shown by Azzam. That place is good. Hopefully the rental price of the house is not too expensive. He can actually easily send money to Handoko's account via his phone if it's back to his body later.
Another message came from Mahardika asking what was being done.
Daisy had no intention of replying to Mahardika's message, but several times the man had called. Just thinking of calling back, Mahardika's name appears as a caller.
“Ya, Mas?” ask Daisy slowly.
He cleared a little to remove the hoarseness in his voice.
What's with your voice?” ask Mahardika immediately.
“Nothing, just a little hoarse from coughing!” daisy replied lying. He had a sore throat until his voice disappeared.
“Do you want me to buy you something? Chicken soup or papermint tea?”
Daisy did not find peppermint tea in a drawer in the kitchen and was interested in brewing it. However, he could not make Mahardika to the pavilion when the condition of this place was hot.
“No, Mas, I'm fine! Did Mas get in trouble because last night?”
Mahardika did not answer, that means Daisy's guess is correct. The man had already gotten into trouble before Daisy asked.
It might not be a big deal for the two hard-nosed families to agree to betroth their two sons and daughter. Mahardika must have gotten a big blow.
“Dad Stefani called to Papa's workspace. Then they asked that I be moved from pavilliun.”
Daisy must be honest, so that Mahardika realizes that continuing to approach her will make the problem even bigger. Daisy wants to start an investigation into her body displacement.
“APA!”
“Do not shout, Mas. I already warned Mas Diko, loh!” remember Stefani.
Mahardika shut up for a moment. “I'm sorry! I just can't let you face it all alone> your souls swapped. I can't even believe it happened to you Daisy!”
“Because this incident has already happened, Mas can't say don't believe it. I beg you, for a while do not try to approach me first. I don't know where to start finding out if other problems keep bothering me!”
“Alright! I'll do as you wish!”
“Thank you if you understand!” mahardika said sadly. “So Mr Handoko and Maulana already know where to put you?’
“They will join move with me!”
Daisy is absolutely desperate to find that Stefani's family has changed due to the problems faced by other family members. They admit their mistakes no matter the consequences.
“Good! Because I would be so worried about you if you were alone!” Mahardika.
Daisy is also worried about herself if she is alone. Stefani's life is still very foreign to her and it makes her anxious all the time. He doesn't even know what he's trying to learn on campus.
Faintly Daisy heard the sound of a key playing in front. He knew it was time to stop talking to Mahardika. He did not want to be asked who was being called by Maulana.
“They're home!”
“Then I will call you again later!” Mahardika. He switched off his call after that.
Daisy went to the bathroom first, washing her face with water to reduce swelling. But in fact, it didn't work at all. His eyes still narrowed 80% of the truth and he felt ashamed to come out.
“Stefani!” Maulana called out from the living room.
Daisy had no other choice but to appear there under these circumstances. He walked out slowly, hoping that Maulana would not call back. Let's just say he's still asleep right now.
“Stefani! Can you come here for a minute!” This time it was Handoko's gilitan who called.
He hastened his steps. “I'm there now, Dad!” sahut Daisy fast.
However, the two people who seemed to be preparing for dinner were stunned at Daisy coming out. Maulana swerved and immediately stood up. Cupped both cheeks Stefani and seen adhering to the face of Daisy.
“What's up?” ask Daisy to be embarrassed.
He knew very well that his appearance was very pitiful now. Her eyes were swollen, Daisy's voice was also raucous. His head was a little sore and most shamefully his stomach was snoring loudly like a cat asking to be petted.
“Already! Let your sister eat first, don't bother her with questions!” Handoko rescues Daisy as both of Maulana's hands disappear from her cheeks. “Come, Son, you must be hungry!”
Daisy sits next to Handoko, and receives a fragrant, grilled rice spoon. His stomach snored back when he received the food. The spoon is given to Daisy by Maulana and they begin to eat without cue.
Daisy likes the food Handoko chooses. Not because the food was actually and commonly eaten, but because of the form of attention the old man had to his daughter.
“Your mother is a beautiful person!”
Daisy stopped bribing. The face of his mother who stroked his head came back. His tears fell on the grilled rice and he put the food on the table before crying again.
