Chapter 10

I'm the one who once thought bad at first sight. A view that was not directed at me became the cause of heartbreak.

Vita had not yet set foot in her home after driving Zayn home, her mobile phone rang. The name of Mbak Asih on the flat screen of the object. Vita immediately lifted.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma'am Vita. Here, Ms. Kia does not want to eat, Ma'am. I was confused, in persuaded from the morning did not want to eat either. Pity Zayn waiting at the door from earlier so follow-up do not eat." explained Mbak Asih who clearly heard the type of voice indicates that he was anxious.

"Oh my God, Ma'am. Well wait a minute, I'm back there." Vita turned the wheel of the car back to Kia's house.

Once there, Vita brings Zayn downstairs to eat. After persuading the boy, Vita went back upstairs and knocked on Kia's room door, but there was no answer.

Vita carefully turned the doorknob of the room, it turned out to be unlocked. Vita went inside to see if Kia was okay or not.

"Assalamualaikum, Kia." said Vita as she stepped closer to Kia who was sitting on the floor with the edge of the bed as a backrest, her gaze straight ahead staring at the yellowing sky.

"Do you remember this picture, Vita?" Kia presented a framed photo of love that since morning in her hands. Vita also welcomed, paying close attention to the photo.

"It's our first double date, but it's a shame Reyhan came home first because there was an urgent matter that required him to go home. The result is only the three of us in the picture." Kia carved a wry smile. Vita was still unmoved, her lips continuing to clench with her faithful ears listening.

Kia sighed for a moment then turned her head towards the woman she already considered to be her sibling.

"You remember, we used to have a fight. I expressed love for Ishmael, but was immediately rejected by him. A few months later, he declares love to you. The first time in my life I felt bad, worried about who to believe, I got negative thoughts to you."

*Flashbackwas.

Kia carried a lot of paper in her hands because today there is a presentation task in the eyes of her lecture at eight.

Kia ran hastily through the library room, as the stack of tasks in her hands was so high that it blocked her sight, Kia ended up bumping into someone before her until both of them fell down.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't on purpose." said Kia while taking care of her scattered duties.

"Yeah, that's okay" he replied with a smile with eyes clashing against each other.

Kia was unmoved, gobsmacked at the face of the man before her. Moreover, the smile that was given to him seemed to hypnotize a Zaskia who was known to be indifferent to the opposite sex.

"Thank you" Kia said after the man helped her to wake up.

"Kia, hurry. We're almost too late!" vita's thunderous voice damaged the romantic atmosphere that his best friend was experiencing.

"Then I go first. Next time be careful." said the man saying goodbye when Vita was already on Kia's side.

Kia smilingly nodded in reply by the man who had that sweet smile. Kia looked at his departure until it was no longer visible from his eyes.

"Hayo! Even daydream, hurry up! We're gonna be late for class." whined Vita while pulling Kia's hand towards class.

During the break, Kia and Vita both head to the canteen to quench thirst and feed the worms in their starving stomachs.

"Vita, I want to tell you." exclaimed Kia while turning the spoon and fork on her plate sign that she had finished eating her food.

"About what?" asked Vita after cleaning her lips using a tissue.

"You remember that guy who helped me out in front of the library?" Kia started the question to easily continue the discussion.

"Remember, his name is Ismail, my girlfriend's best friend." said Vita as if.

"Oh, huh? His name is Ismail, right?" ask Kia again.

"Why, Kia?" Vita stared at Kia's face which began to change color to red.

"I think I fell in love at first sight. Her smile was sweet, polite, and tall. I have a dream, Vita. Then, when he returned, he turned around and kept smiling. I swear, my heart rate is pounding." Kia explained, from the look on her face, she is in a kasmaran now.

"Well, she probably likes you too, Kia." Vita nudged her shoulder to Kia's. Really teasing Kia was the activity she liked the most.

"Later to ask Reyhan' Deh, he's got a joke. Relax, if she is single I help you." said Vita with the spirit of making Kia hug her tightly.

"Thank you, Vita. You are my best friend who is good."

As promised, Vita came to Reyhan who said he would introduce her to his best friend.

"Know, Bro. My girlfriend Devita is her name." Reyhan said, embracing Vita's waist, asserting her ownership.

"Oh, hi. I'm Ismail. Hello to you." Ismail smiled a moment and threw his gaze in any direction.

"Greetings know too. Oh, yeah, you've got a girlfriend yet?" ask Vita to the point. Reyhan looked at Vita in confusion.

"Be.. No, why?" ask Ishmael nervously.

"Oh, my friend wants to meet you. "vita replied making Reyhan exhale with relief.

"Zaskia?" reyhan asked because he only knew that Zaskia was very close to him.

"Rubber. If you want, I will arrange time for you to meet outside, let it be nice while staying cool at the cafe for example." proposed Vita smoothly. Whatever it is about the happiness of his best friend, he will move quickly.

"Hmm, you set it. Oh, yes, ask for your phone number so it's good to know later" Ismail said thrusting his mobile phone. Vita welcomed and then typed a row of numbers on the glass screen.

"In that case, I'll arrange it. I'll wait for eight o'clock at the front cafe, yeah. I'll go back first, yeah. Bye, darling." Vita says goodbye to Reyhan and then immediately goes to where his best friend is.

In accordance with the agreement that has been made before. Kia and Vita are in a cafe that sells various coffees and cakes. They are now waiting for Ishmael's arrival.

"Duh, I'm nervous gini, Vit." Kia held onto Vita's palm, it felt like her palm was melting ice, cold and wet with sweat. Waiting for Ismail for half an hour made his mood even more uneasy.

"Liet, soon she'll come ... Uh that's the guy." Vita pointed towards Ismail who had just arrived at the entrance of the cafe. Ishmael, who saw the two women, quickly sped up to their table.

"Hi girls, sorry late. It was jammed." Ishmael explained.

"No. We just got here, didn't we, Vit?" Kia nudged Vita off guard, gesturing to agree to her words.

"Yes, just now. Uh, wait, I'm going to the toilet first. You guys have a chat first, just acquaintance, but it's a good fit." Vita blinked one eye flirtatiously towards Kia, who was teased instead becoming blushed.

"Hi, I'm Zaskia. Greetings." said Kia after seeing Vita was not reached from view.

"Greetings know too, I'm Ismail." he reached out and Kia greeted with a quick motion, her embarrassment began to evaporate somewhere.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" ask Kia without further ado. Now the soul of Kia's bar came out.

"Ehm, not yet. But soon will have." said Ismail makes Zaskia feel happy because soon he will soon hear the love speech of the dream man who is sitting in front of him.

"What is your dream woman's criterion?" ask Kia again.

"Must be a woman." ledek Ismail and got the naughtiness of Kia.

"Yes, that's for sure. If it's a man, it's an abnormal name." Kia responded by aiming.

"Well, don't let it. I'm still normal." said Ismail briefly. It had been three minutes they were silent, as if there was no discussion that could be issued. They were both busy with their thoughts.

"Hemm, I want to say something to you" Kia said afterwards.

"By the way." said Ismail flat, occasionally he glanced towards his wrist looking at the clockwork turn that already showed the time at nine o'clock.

"You want to be my girlfriend?" kia asked with nervousness.

"I'm sorry, I can't. I like other people."
