“What's last night Om not coming home?” tanya Syafira this morning got a call from Mrs Hani who said that Xander kept waiting for the father to come home.
“I cannot go home in such a mess as this Syafira. When I go home my mom will keep asking and corner me with the question of when I'm getting married.You think I'll just answer I won't get married and wait for you to graduate college! At least that way for the next three years mama will not pursue me to immediately find a wife.
“Om Don't joke!” Syafira. Victor who was currently sitting next to him was truly not like the figure of Victor he was familiar with. Victor who he knew was Victor who would not falter and would always face what was in front of him. But Victor who was currently sitting next to him looked very weak.
“Do I look joking?” Victor, who had been looking ahead, was now looking towards Syafira. Watching the girl sitting next to him, also paying attention to the taste of the clothes.
Black color jeans. White sweatshirt, mixed with black wana blazer. Light blue shoes match the color of his backpack.
“What Om loves Natasha so much? Om looks so heartbroken when he loses him?” search Syafira. Recalling yesterday she found Victor heavily drunk and kissed him forcibly.
Victor looked down, in his heart the pain was no longer felt. “Not so Syafira, I just feel like I can't accept her having an affair with my cousin! And I thought more about how to explain everything to mama who already knew that I was close to her!” obviously Victor. “On yesterday, the incident when I was drunk, I am really sorry to you Syafira. You want to forgive me, right?” that chewy meat? Maybe yesterday was the only chance in his life Victor could have held onto it. Next time Syafira will surely throw a fist if he dares to hold it again intentionally.
Syafira was silent, yesterday's events still imprint in his memory. However, he cannot be angry. Victor was a good man who always met his needs and sent him to school. Syafira believes Victor did not intentionally do that.
“So when do you want to go home! Madam Hani is already waiting for a message from me,” urges the girl.
“Tell me later tonight I go home!” victor Sahut. “Oh yes Syafira, you have truly forgiven me right?” once again Victor made sure.
“Yes, Om I forgive Om. As long as Victor is not drunk anymore!” pinta Syafira stretched out her little finger.
Victor turned his head, staring right at Syafira's face.
“Pingky promise?” syafira.
“Pingky promise,” said. “Thank you Syafira you have been a good friend to me!” coined.
Both are smiling at each other.
“What time are you in college?” ask Victor. For Syafira who has forgiven and is willing to hear his heart Victor at least wants to have breakfast with the girl.
“Jam nine Om,” replied Syafira.
“Then we eat first, then I will take you to campus!” bargain Victor. Sometimes the presence of someone who wants to hear the problem without demanding something like the mother who always asks him, makes Victor very comfortable.
“No Om, preferably Om Victor go home now Xander has been waiting for Om Victor since last night!” reject Syafira.
“But you promised to eat with me right?” Victor awaits an answer from Syafira. “I will go home only if you are willing to eat with me next time!” he looked the other way, pretending to be angry.
“Iya Om, I promise to eat with Om next time!”
“Appointments.”
“Appointments.”
Victor escorted Syafira to campus and then he went home.

Before the lecturer first hour came. Syafira was chatting with Aleta who was sitting next to her.
“How have you talked to Kak Juna?” ask Syafira.
“Already, it's just for High School graduates, the most job vacancies of the supermarket or restaurant,” Aleta said. Not sure if Syafira wants to work.
“Who wants to work?” sela Arsyan who has since listened to the talks between Aleta and Syafira.
“If you want, I invite you to work at the coffee cafe where I work,” suggested Arsya. The coffee shop belongs to the Arsyan family. However, not wanting Syafira to feel awkward Arsyan chose not to tell him.
“Where? How is it working hours?” Syafira was very interested.
“You can come there with me, and about the working hours from two in the afternoon to eight in the evening!” answered Arsyan. In accordance with his custom .
“Well I want!” sahut Syafira without thinking.
“Sya!” aleta was next to him.
“Iya?”
“Mending you think first, don't go straight!” Aleta disagrees with Syafira this time. “If you work when will you do college work! And I don't think Om Victor will approve immediately if he finds out you work Sya!” from the beginning Aleta was not very fond of Arsyan. Although he is the son of a rich man and a little handsome, but sometimes he is mysterious and conch.
“Arsyan I thought first yes,” Syafira said later.
“Ok, if you are sure just say it!” Arsyan threw a smile so that Syafira was sure to come to work with him.
“Good, I'll be in touch soon!” Syafira returned Arsyan's smile.

In the evening Syafira had just finished eating fried rice for his dinner menu. He did not eat and started to save money.
Suddenly there was a phone call from Victor.
“Halo,” greet the girl kindly.
“Syafira, you're in dorm! I'll be there now! Sorry I forgot that I haven't given you your monthly money,” Victor said across the phone.
“Emm—,” murmured Syafira slowly.
“I'm going to the hostel right now, I'm bringing dinner too!” Victor ended the phone call and immediately drove his car to the dormitory.
Call ended.
Syafira looks up at the nightstand where there is a two-way frame, one side is her photo and the other side is the photo of the Om.
“Om Victor was actually forgetting or pretending to be forgetting! Surely Om Just pretended to forget, right to meet me often?” lirih Syafira comforted herself.
It becomes a ritual in itself. Every time I meet Victor. The girl would peck in front of the mirror, just to see the reflection there. Is it too late to meet the idol?
Don't blame the love. Not an ambition to have. It's just not easy to forget Victor. The taste is still the same, what else Syafira knows if currently Victor does not have a lover.
