Yussa Traba
Book chat

The school bell rang, announcing the end of lessons and time for the students to return home.

David and Yussa meticulously organize their books into their bags that are almost full of tasks and notes.

David looked towards Yussa with a friendly smile. "Yussa, what are you going home for?" tanyakanya.

Yussa paused for a moment, thought of his answer, then replied gently, "I'll go home on foot."

"Will you ride my motorcycle?" David was excited.

Yussa smiled gently. "Thank you, but no, I'll just walk."

The two of them begin their journey home, with David continuing to talk and laugh along the way.

Finally, they reached the school gate. David saluted by raising his hand, "I am first, Yussa."

Yussa nodded and replied, "Sure, David. See you tomorrow."

After David leaves, Yussa pulls out his phone and calls Leon.

[ Leon ]

"Leon, are you going to pick me up?" yussa asked in a soft voice while staring around.

"Sure, I'll prepare the car first" Leon replied from the phone.

However, in that momentary silence, Yussa suddenly saw a woman.

"Nayla?" yussa murmured in the heart.

"Young master?" leon's greeting from the phone made him realize.

"I'll go home by myself" Yussa said briefly and then immediately decided on a call.

Yussa, on the other hand, sees Nayla walking alone. He decides to meet Nayla.

"David is right, it seems like he does not have any friends," Yussa thought as he stepped towards Nayla.

Nayla was startled, reflexively raising her head, trying to figure out who did that.

"I'm sorry" Yussa said with a warm smile. "You look so cute earlier."

Nayla just fell silent, her cheeks flushed red in embarrassment.

Yussa brought his head closer to Nayla attentively. "I'm really sorry" he said in a soft voice.

Nayla who was still silent because she was trying to hide a face that was getting red with embarrassment.

"Are you not feeling well?" yussa asked with a confused expression that adorned his face.

Nayla with a trembling voice replied, "T-no, I'm fine."

Both of his eyes looked awkward and teary, and the awkward atmosphere grew more and more pronounced.

Yussa was nervous when he saw Nayla's reaction. "Gosh, maybe I'm overdoing it," Yussa thought inwardly while feeling guilty.

In an increasingly awkward atmosphere, Yussa tries to find a topic of conversation to ease the tension. "Ehm, so, what are you doing after school, Nayla?"

Nayla hesitantly replied, "I usually just go to the library or sit in the school garden to read books."

Yussa smiled kindly, trying to make Nayla feel more comfortable. "That's interesting. I also like to read. What's your favorite book?"

Nayla started to relax a bit more when talking about books. They started sharing stories about books they enjoyed.

"I love the book 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind' by Yuval Noah Harari" Nayla said with sparkling eyes.

"Oh yeah? I personally love Simon Sinek's 'Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action'" Yussa replied with a friendly smile.

Nayla smiled broadly. "So you like books about business? That seems to suit you," he said, looking at Yussa's face.

The two of them continued chatting with Nayla who was full of enthusiasm. Finally, as time went on in the afternoon, they had to part at a crossroads.

"It's nice to talk to you, Yussa," Nayla said sincerely.

Yussa smiled warmly. "I'm happy too, Nayla," she replied.

Both went on their way home.....
