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

"Sorry, Kia. I can't be in a relationship with you because I already like other people." Ismail subtly refused.

After a few minutes passed, Vita returned from the toilet with a fresh face approaching two people who she considered had progressed.

"Sorry, Guys are late at the back." she said with a smile.

"It's okay, Vita. Oh yeah, Reyhan didn't come here?" ismail asked pleasantries without taking his eyes off now looking into Vita's eyes inside.

"No, maybe he has to work too, right, otherwise that's how he can pay for his college" explained Vita then back sip his favorite drink.

Kia noticed the interaction of the two, clearly visible how Ismail's gaze towards Vita. Kia also decided to go home because she could not stand the situation in nature. Shame, heartache and disappointment mixed into one. Coincidentally, time also required him to return home.

"Guy! Because it's getting late, mending us home now. Afraid to look for Dad." said Kia and then stood up while carrying a small bag that he wore.

Without saying goodbye to Ishmael, Kia just passed by and made a frown on his best friend's forehead. Vita said goodbye to Ismail and greeted an apology then immediately chased after Kia who had entered the car first.

"Why are you, Kia? How does it seem not that spirit, even though it has met 'loh the same Ismail?" ask Vita when she's in the car.

"He rejected me." said Kia with eyes that began to stagnate.

"Couldn't you? Are you feeling for him?" Vita surprised.

"Yes and he said that he already likes other people. I'm so embarrassed, Vit. If you know this I do not want to meet with him, until the real feeling of all. I'm a fool, Vit." Kia told herself.

"Here you go, be patient, Kia. Forget about this. Tomorrow we open another new page. Focus on our study first! Last romance." Vita hugged while rubbing Kia's back.

"last you said? Aren't you dating Reyhan?" asked Kia did not accept directly divorcing their embrace.

"Hahaha, yes no, I'm the same Reyhan rarely meet. And our relationship never interfered with our education, Kia. So, where's my fault?" ledek Vita to Kia pinched slowly Vita's face.

"You cheated!" Kia grunts annoyed but finally smiles as Vita plays the eyebrows to tease her best friend.

"Okay, now we focus on college. It is forbidden to talk about love between us! We're finally in our final semester" Kia said.

"Ready, Boss Ma'am!" Vita plunged a row of her fingers to the side of the forehead a sign of respect. Then they laughed together.

A few months later after undergoing the rigors of the thesis problem, they finally succeeded and got the desired results.

Kia and Vita want to celebrate the success of the final trial just two at the usual cafe and also the place where Kia got a rejection from Ismail.

After ordering, Kia asked for permission for the back. Wanted to throw away hadas, he said. Soon after, Kia returned with a cake decorated with candles burning on it.

"Happy birthday to You ... Happy birthday to You .. Happy birthday to Vita." Kia sings a happy birthday song while Vita covers her wet face with tears in her eyes.

"Make a wish, Vita. And Happy birthday for my best friend forever." said Kia, Vita closed her eyes while saying a prayer in silence and then blew the candle.

"Thank You for everything, Kia." Vita hugs Kia after putting the cake on the table.

The position of those who are still hugging suddenly must be broken because there is someone who comes carrying a bouquet of flowers along with a balloon-shaped love.

"Thank you, Ismail. How do you know I have a birthday?" ask Vita in surprise.

"Yes, because I know everything about you." Ismail smiled. Kia who saw that took a few steps back, letting them speak freely.

"I still have something for you." Ismail reached into the pocket of his pocket, took out a small box and opened it in front of Vita.

"Will you marry me, Vita?" Vita and Kia were shocked to hear the request made by the man before her.

"Are you crazy? I've been with Reyhan and I love him. Isn't Reyhan your best friend, why did you dare stab him in the back?" gertak Vita while pointing at Ismail's face.

"Didn't it be before the yellow janur curved, everyone has the right to chase after you?" chirp Ismail easily without feeling guilty.

"Crazy basic! I hope this news doesn't get heard in Reyhan's ears. I hope this is the last time we meet! Let's go, Kia!" Vita pulls Kia's hand to quickly leave Ismail.

After the incident, Vita stayed away from Ishmael. Kia also seemed reluctant to meet Vita. But because of Vita's persistence that persuades, explains and provides accurate evidence that they do not have a relationship, Kia finally succumbed and good friends as usual.

*Flashback off

"I know I wasn't his first love. I'm self-conscious now too. Maybe he accepted me after you rejected him." muttered Kia softly.

"Kia, it's not like we've talked about this for no one to bring up the issue again. Ishmael is your husband, Kia." argued Vita firmly.

"That was it, Vita. Now, no, she's already suing for divorce for me, isn't she? For a while now I thought he was just scaring me. But now I'm sure after reading the caption of his post many times. He is serious, because he is tired of living life with me." said Kia with a trembling voice, his eyes again showed a clear puddle.

"Stranquilo, Kia. I have to how do you get back to being the Zaskia I know is strong and not giving up easily?" Vita hugged her best friend's body again. Patting Kia's back to win her heart.

"Do you want to help me?" asked Kia while divorcing their embrace.

"What can I help you with?"

"Do you want to persuade Ishmael to annul this divorce? Please, only you can help me, Vita?" pinta Kia with a cry that can no longer be contained.

"Okay, I'll help you. I'll try to call him later."

"Thank you, Vita." Kia smiled with tears still raining down her cheeks.

"But before, I wanted to say something to you" said Vita hesitantly.

"About what? What is it about Ishmael that I do not know?" tanya Kia looked at Vita with a sad face.

Vita heaved her heavy breath. Should he say something that he thinks is personal. Or let himself bury himself in this matter.

"David, Vita. Is this about Ishmael?" asked Kia once again after seeing Vita who was just speechless.

"Ehm. Actually ... "

Gts ... Gts ... Gts ... Vita's mouth stopped talking after hearing a knock behind Kia's bedroom door.

"Mom Kia, here's the food I've prepared!" Shouted Maak Asih from out there.
