"Morning Hannah, did you sleep well  ? " said Elin smiling as she stretched her stiff body muscles.

" Morning "replies Hannah, Elin laughs after seeing Hannah's face with swollen eyes "what's up ? " ask Hannah with eyes that are so hard to open.

" You see for yourself how you look at your face ? " said Elin, holding her lips back to laugh, Hannah went from the bed to the big mirror in Elin's room "why am I so horrible  ? " hanna said after seeing the condition of her face with swollen eyes.

" It's really embarrassing" he said again.

Elin still doesn't stop laughing "if anyone sees you like this, they'll think that you're allergic to eye makeup" Elin said, "it's better , instead of them thinking that I had a failed eyelid surgery "so Hannah continued that made Elin's lips not stop gaping.

Ting "a message went into Elin's phone that she put on the nightstand.

Elin took her phone with eyes still staring cutely at Hannah ,

and his smile expands when he sees the name of the contact that sends a message on the phone screen.

" Morning" filled the incoming message that Elin read with a pounding heart and a blushing smile.

" Morning , are you awake ? " reply to Elin and just a matter of seconds a reply back in "has already been , although I admit I miss you a lot but it won't make me delirious and send a message to you "reply to Daniel , ' he said , elin's smile grew even more when he saw the word miss from the contents of the message.

" Have you had breakfast ? " reply Elin was confused as to what to reply to Daniel's last message.

" Not yet, I don't seem to need breakfast "reply Daniel.

" Why, are you sick ? "

" No, 'cause I'm not hungry, but I'm missing so what I need is you're not Daniel's "reply food that makes Elin's face red.

Hannah knitted her eyebrows together staring at Elin's behavior from the reflection of the mirror before her.

" That's not funny Daniel "

" I was not joking "reply Daniel , Elin was silent while biting the tip of her lips with a confused mind how to reply to Daniel 'message, he was quite prestige to say that he also missed.

" Am I being ignored ? "

" the word daniel who sent a message again because it did not receive a reply from Elin, while the message was opened with the status that is still online.

" You're so impatient Mr. Daniel "replies Elin.

" It's because I miss 'em, even I'm so upset about not being able to see your face "

" Stop teasing me "reply back.

" I'm quite disappointed that you think that way, but I'm so serious about what I say "

" Yes you won't understand because only I know how this longing feels" Daniel said.

" Battle, if you don't want to be late to work "reply Elin.

" Even now that I've been at my desk "reply to Daniel, elin raised her eyes and looked towards the wall clock "is she such an industrious child ? " elin said because the clock still shows eight o'clock in the morning.

" True , well continue your work and don't forget to eat later "reply.

" Are you busy ? "

" no, I just have to prepare to go to campus and prepare breakfast" Elin explained in a message that continues.

" Went with who ? " reply dDniel so quickly that Elin frowned.

" Himself, who else do you think "

" It's true, but that day I saw you go with Mike "reply to Daniel.

" Don't do it again I really don't like it " continued Daniel ''s message, Elin nods her head because of the curiosity that has been answered "jdi this is the reason he ignored me yesterday" muttered Elin.

" I'll try to "reply to Elin who deliberately seduced Daniel.

" Please "reply Daniel quickly.

" If it wasn't for work maybe now I'd be on your doorstep" Daniel said.

" Don't do that" Elin said as she typed the message with a smile.

" So stop making me nervous, I'm really hurting Elin if I have to imagine you're in the same car as Mike "

" I won't do it "reply Elin.

" Really ? "

" Yes, you can hold my word "reply to Elin.

" Well, now I can breathe "

" You're quite exaggerated Mr "

" It's up, but that's how I felt "reply Daniel , Elin smiled at the screen of the phone that was still filled with the contents of the message with Daniel "why he didn't like Mike so much, ' he said , aren't they brothers of "elin muttered.

" Are you in love ? " ask Hannah who surprised Elin so much, "emm. what did you say Hannah" said Elin so embarrassed.

" Ceh, your face is flushed by Elin" said Hannah laughing and Elin immediately touched part of her face.

" Who made you blush like this, I'm glad you fell back in love with Elin" Hannah said, drawing closer and touching Elin's hand so gently.

" Fall in love" said Elin repeating , three years passed and during that time he never cared about two words that had such great meaning.

" no hannah, I'm still afraid to say that" said elin with eyes staring blankly.

" Are you happy with him ? " ask Hannah and Elin nodded.

" Do you feel homesick when he's not around ? " he asked again and Elin nodded again.

" That means you're in love with Elin" Hannah explained.

" yes, but I'm still not sure what I'm feeling, she can't possibly forget Hannah" Elin said with a lowered face and Hannah understood who Elin meant.

" Of course he will not be forgotten, for he already has his own place in your heart but you must also rise again Elin, open your heart and feel in love again , although he may not be forgotten but he is no longer here , he will only be the story of your mass , just because you're not sure how you feel doesn't mean you should ignore people who love you "

" Don't do it Elin, don't ignore someone so sincere, I don't want you to feel what I feel 'cause regret hurts so much Elin " it was Hannah who recalled her mistake to Daniel.

Elin looked at Hannah's sad face.

" Now help me to prepare breakfast "pinta Elin diverts their conversation.

" Of course, you have to let me be the chef" said Hannah laughing and they immediately headed for the kitchen.

" What are you going to do today ? " ask Hannah while looking for groceries available in the refrigerator.

" Going to campus , today I have to submit my design results " explained Elin.

" Is it true? , whereas today I want to take you on the road" said Hannah a little disappointed.

" What's your day off ? "

" No , I just asked to clear my schedule today, because I couldn't possibly work with eyes like this " obviously Hannah laughed and Elin laughed as she looked back at Hannah's swollen eyes.

" You better stay here, if things go well I'll be back before afternoon and we can continue your plan "

" a good idea" Hannah laughed.

" What time are you leaving ? "

" A half 10, 10 o'clock I should've been there "it was clear so lightly, Hannah looked towards the wall clock that was already showing almost nine o'clock.

" Geez Elin, you should take a shower immediately " cried Hannah pointing towards the 'clock, and Elin became surprised to see the clock hand turning so fast .

" How about breakfast ? "asked the panicked Elin.

" Give me and now take a shower "

" Is it true? , are you really okay alone ? " ask Elin not well.

" Are you afraid your kitchen will explode ? " said Hannah laughing and Elin quickly shook her head "i'm sorry Hannah" said elin as she ran towards the bathroom.

Hannah laughed at Elin's behavior and continued her plan to make pancakes for breakfast this morning.

Drrrtttt drrttt "mobile phone on the kitchen table ringing.

" she left her phone " muttered Hannah while continuing her busy life.

" What is an important call ? " he said again, because he heard the sound of Elin's phone ringing again.

he stopped the activity of making his pancakes, then walked to the phone that was still ringing.

" I'm sorry for being so disrespectful, but maybe this is an important call" Hannah muttered before picking up Elin's flat object.

For a moment his gaze did not blink staring at the mobile phone screen with the name of the call contact he was so familiar with, even he still remembered well the number listed on the screen , along with a very clear profile picture he recognized.

He still hopes this is just a coincidence and still reassures himself, the phone that has been in Hannah's hands is ringing again.

and he took a breath with a trembling hand he received the call and directed his ear.

" Hello" said someone behind the phone with a heavy voice that he was familiar with.

Test "hannah's tears dripping, her guess is wrong all is no longer just a coincidence

" i'm sorry that I can't help but feel homesick, it feels so annoying to see no reply to messages from you" said Daniel who continued to speak behind the phone.

As Hannah's eyes fall more and more unstoppable, her heart aches when she learns that the person talking behind the phone is Daniel , the man she loves , who is now saying miss his own best friend.

" Hello" said Daniel, not hearing Elin's reply.

" Hannah did anyone call me ?  " ask Elin who just came out of the bathroom and made Hannah so surprised and immediately wipe away the tears that were still running down her cheeks.

" emm yes, sorry for being disrespectful, I think this is very important because your phone keeps ringing "obviously by slightly distancing Elin's phone so that her voice is not heard by Daniel.

" Thank you, what's with your eyes" asked Elin, taking her flat object out of Hannah's hand and looking at Hannah's reddened eyes.

" It hurts a little bit because of the smoke" Hannah told a lie.

Elin nodded her head, and immediately answered the call that was still connected with Daniel.

" What's up ? " ask Elin smiling.

" yes, I just finished taking a shower, stop teasing me Daniel" said Elin who kept smiling with her phone call, Hannah no longer heard what Elin was talking about with Daniel , but Elin's smile makes Hannah

convinced that the man who has managed to make his friend again feel in love ,

her tears came back, witnessing happiness but it seemed so painful to her heart.
