A few months later.
Saint Petersburg, Russia.
Graduation day has arrived and the important event is being held in a campus, where Evelyn studied.
All students and students who celebrated their graduation also looked so enthusiastic and also cheerful. But not true for Evelyn, the girl seemed to be moody thinking about her fate after graduating from college.
"Hi Eve why I'm so moody, I heard you're going back to Indonesia. Is that true?" ask Steve, Evelyn's college friend.
Evelyn nodded weakly. "Yes, you know my opa is old. I want to be by her side every day" she replied in search of an excuse.
"You're right Eve, but what about your S2? Don't you want to continue your studies until S2?" steve asked, then sat down next to Evelyn to talk for a moment.
"So then, maybe I'll continue in Indonesia or postpone a few more years" Evelyn replied lethargicly.
"Hey Eve, don't be lethargic like this. Smile and what your agile behavior is. I've seen you lately like everyone else and not the usual Evelyn I've known all along" Steve probed as he grabbed Evelyn's shoulder and slightly shook her.
"Steve, stop teasing me like that. I'm not joking around" Evelyn said lazily, removing Steve's arm from her shoulder.
Steve looked at Evelyn who just looked down. "What's wrong, what are you thinking about Eve? Is there something that's bothering you?" tanyanya.
Evelyn let out a deep breath and moved from her seat. "Nothing," he replied and left.
Steve did not stop looking at the back of Evelyn who was away, the girl he liked since he was in college the first semester.
But Steve did not dare to express his love, given the many men who have been rejected by Evelyn, until finally could not approach or become his friend again.
And in the end Steve undoes his intentions, choosing to harbor his feelings during this time rather than having to break up with Evelyn.
"He why?" inner Steve was anxious.
...***...
The graduation marking session has ended, now the graduates and also graduates are holding photo events with campus friends, as well as solo photos with family.
Many of them look amazingly handsome and also beautiful, but nothing can match the beauty of Bernadi's opa granddaughter Evelyn.
The girl looked different from her peers, she wore a long-sleeved rose gold-colored kebaya, which formed her perfect body.
Combined with a long mermaid skirt suit that dangles to touch the floor, and there is a knee-length hemisphere that adds to the impression of sexion but still looks polite.
Evelyn's appearance attracted a lot of attention, especially the attention of the adam. In addition, praise flowed for him. Successful ones give a simple, yet fashionable and stunning appearance.
"You're so beautiful Eve," praised Steve as he walked over and was stunned to see Evelyn's beauty.
"Thank you," Evelyn replied with a smile that could make any man's heart melt.
Steve stretched out his arm, then grabbed Evelyn's right hand and clasped tightly, occasionally wiping the back of his hand with his thumb.
"After this show is over, will you have dinner with me? I'd love to do a farewell to my best friend before he leaves" he said, kissing Evelyn's back.
Evelyn smiled gently. "Alright, 7pm at the restaurant near the campus. Don't be late" he replied. Then part ways with Steve, to approach Maureen's aunt who has just come to campus.
Steve smiled broadly. "Sure, I won't be late Eve!" his spirit said as he waved at Evelyn to leave.
...***...
Evelyn hugged Maureen's aunt who had just come with a few bouquets of flowers for Evelyn.
"Congratulations on your graduation, dear, sorry Auntie came late" said Aunt Maureen congratulating her.
"Thank you Auntie, thank you too for coming to my graduation." Evelyn broke her embrace.
"Together, this is for you." Aunt Maureen handed Evelyn three bouquets of flowers.
"Three bouquets? From anyone?" evelyn asked as she received the bouquet of flowers.
"It's a flower from Aunty, it's from Opamu and the other Aunt doesn't know. There is no sender's name," Aunt Maureen replied as is.
Evelyn fell silent at the unnamed flower bouquet of the sender and twisted her brain. "Who sent me a pretty flower like this?" inner wondering.
Not wanting to take a headache, the girl chose to take it and assume the bouquet of flowers, could be from friends or relatives who did not want to know his name.
"Auntie, let's go inside. Soon a photo event together," said Evelyn holding Aunt Maureen.
"Well come on, you're so beautiful, baby." Aunt Maureen took the time to praise Evelyn.
"Auntie's pretty, too," praised Evelyn for not losing. The two of them also entered the campus, occasionally joking together.
...***...
Her night.
Steve was ready for his position, the man ordered a table for a special person tonight and he was so happy, when a beautiful woman who had been waiting for him, finally came.
Evelyn smiled and walked up to Steve with graceful steps. "Steve's sorry I'm late," she replied.
Steve pulled the chair for Evelyn to sit down. "It's okay that I just arrived, now sit down."
"Thank you, thank God I didn't make you wait too long." Evelyn is sitting.
"No Eve, don't feel sorry for me. I'm the one who should be grateful that you've been willing to fulfill my invitation" Steve replied.
"Invitation from my best friend, where might I miss it." Evelyn replied.
Steve smiled wryly, hearing that the woman he loved only regarded him as a good friend and lied only if his little heart did not feel disappointed.
"What do you want to eat?" steve asked to show his attention.
"Hm .. Whatever Steve is," Evelyn replies.
"Alright," Steve replied, then called the waiter to order the menu.
Steve ordered a menu of European cuisine, but there is one menu that makes them both confused when looking at him presented also on the table.
"Sorry, I didn't order this menu." Steve pointed one of the Asian food menu to the waiter who delivered the food there.
"Oh, this menu has been ordered by someone for the beautiful Miss sitting next to you, sir" the waiter replied kindly.
"Forku? From someone, who is he?" evelyn asked confusedly and looked at the same Steve looking at her.
"A handsome, well-built man. But I'm sorry, I don't know her name Miss," replied the waiter.
"Yes it's okay," replied Steve would not bother.
"All right then, enjoy yourself," said the waiter.
Evelyn stared around the room of the restaurant where she was sitting right now, with a troubled heart.
"The flower without the sender's name and also my favorite menu of unknown man, who is he? What do-don't," inner Evelyn guessed.
"Eve, eat." Steve waited for Evelyn to eat.
"Oh sorry Steve, good-bye." Evelyn ate the menu, occasionally observing the people around.
...***...
A few moments later.
"Steve, thank you for dinner. I love it" Evelyn replied after they finished enjoying dinner and were waiting for dessert.
"Together Eve," replied Steve happily.
The man thumped unsteadily as he stared at Evelyn who was playing the phone, because in addition to inviting dinner, he intended to express his love for Evelyn before it was too late.
"Come on Steve, just tell him how you feel! Tomorrow he's leaving and this is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" inner Steve cheers.
"Eve," call Steve softly.
"What's up Steve?" evelyn and Steve asked back in the cold heat.
The man grabbed Evelyn's hand. "Eve, tomorrow you're going home to your country and I don't know when we'll see each other again. There's one thing I want to tell you before I leave and I don't want to regret missing this opportunity."
"Yes Steve just say it," Evelyn replied.
Steve let out a long breath and gathered all his courage, then looked seriously at Evelyn.
"Eve, I love you. I've liked you for a long time and I hope you'll accept my proposal" Steve said. Then take a box with a ring and show it to Evelyn.
Evelyn was astonished by her making, she did not expect that her best friend was actually harboring feelings for her as well. But what he had to say, because all this time he had not harbored any feelings for Steve.
"Eve" said Steve waiting for an answer.
"Steve ma-" Evelyn's phone suddenly rang. Making the tense atmosphere between them instantly collapse.
"Steve, can I take this call?" ask Evelyn.
Steve nodded. "Of course," he replied languidly.
"Thank you" Evelyn said, moving out of her chair and going somewhere to pick up a call from an unknown user number.
