Since the three-day period of ospek, Rania's relationship with Oki has grown intimate. Although the majors they take are different, they do not keep them away from each other. But it gets closer. Rania this long-haired and bumpy girl is accepted in Communication majors. While Oki, the man who just met him during the ospek, chose the Economics majors.
Although different faculty, Oki always take the time to meet him on the sidelines of college. Oki's presence in his life made Rania feel good. Because in the midst of his busy work on dizzying college assignments, the man can change his bad mood to be fun. With a variety of babble and candaanya.
"Your face why kumel so?" Oki asked who appeared suddenly from the back, then sat next to him.
"It's dizzy to think my paperwork is not finished," he said, pouting his face.
"What's the headache?"
"How do I get dizzy? Later afternoon already finished, but this material is still lacking. Dizzy tau think ya ya task! "
"Anyway, why are you thinking ?!"
"Well, if you do not think about how to finish?"
"Yes if you want to finish, work on it! Not to think about it! "Said Oki. "If you want to think, mending me! Hahaha ... "he chirped as he giggled.
"Hahaha ... you can tuh aja. Rather than thinking about you, yes mending my thinking about my duty! "Rania said teasingly.
"Loh, you're wrong! It's more important to think of me than on a pile of papers! "Oki pointed to Rania's pile of papers. As he spreads a smile on his lips and winks repeatedly.
"Wkwkkwk ... think you will not end. There is only a make lol ... only! Hahaha ... "he laughed out loud, seeing Oki's pompous expression.
"Loh, really even lol? Be careful later it will be a shadow of lo ... "
"Hahaha ... kePDan!"
Rania can always be made laugh by Oki. The manly, square-faced babble made him free of the confusion and fatigue of his college duties.
It's been almost two semesters of their friendship relationship running. Both seem to be together wherever they go. Where there is Rania, there must be Oki. Even his friends think, if they are dating. But it was rebuffed by Rania. To him their relationship is nothing more than just friends.
Some friends also teased him, and said that in a relationship between a man and a woman, it will surely grow in love. It can not be just friends. "You have to know Ran, impossible just for friend!" Said Lina her college friend.
"Never mind Lin, that's just your guess," Rania replied.
"Maybe it's just my guess now, but we'll see."
Lina's remark continued to shadow Rania's mind. This long-haired black-colored girl kept thinking about the words of her classmates. "What do you mean by Lina? He must be just guessing. Anyway so far my relationship with Oki is just a friend, "he thought as he lay down on the mattress.
While walking through the corridor, from a distance Rania saw the figure of a man he knew very well was talking to a friend. He walked back and forth from the back, intending to startle the guy who was Oki. But Rania suddenly stopped his steps, when he heard his name is called.
"Rania?" She chuckled. The girl turned, and immediately hide from behind the wall, not far from where Oki and her friend. So their conversation can still be heard by him.
"Yes Rania, you are close to him is not long already. Do you want to keep friends, without dating? "Asked one of the friends, who stood next to Oki.
"I do not know!" Oki said, shrugging his shoulders.
"How come I do not know? Do not you feel the same with him? "
"Hemmm ... how about it? I am also confused. If you say like, yes I like him. But what, he seems to be comfortable with our friendship. "
"Deg ... deg ... deg ..." Rania's heartbeat, was clear. "Is this what I heard just now?" She murmured in surprise, not believing Oki's words. His feelings became unfamiliar. Her brain was filled with confusion, why the man said such a thing. Made her feel anxious and panicky.
"Then, are you going to keep quiet? without saying your true feelings? "asked his friend again.
"Yes if that should be so. Why not ?! "Oki replied.
"What a fool you are! If I were you, it would be directly talking to him! "Said his friend.
"Why do you even say I'm stupid!" Oki replied annoyed.
"Loh is right is not it? Now try to think, if you keep silent without expressing your feelings to him, will he know your feelings? Do not you ?! "the man's cheeks bulging.
"Yeah right, too. But I have not dared to tell him. What if he gets angry with me? "Oki thought.
"Have not tried already fear first! Gini deh, you think again my talk. Do not be a fool, who just kept your feelings in silence. You have to tell him. Before you'll regret it, if he's going out with another guy. "
"Tap ... tap ... tap ..." Rania came out of hiding. Suddenly the man standing next to Oki saw him. "Rania?" He said later. Oki quickly reversed his body, shocked absurdly. Finding the girl she picked up right behind her.
Their eyes stared at each other. But the two are silent. Rania's mind was still filled with distrust of what she had heard. The girl took a step closer to Oki, wanting to ask the truth directly to the man she had known for a long time. But his step stopped, as if his lips were silenced could not say anything.
"Rania ..." Oki called. Instantly, "Drap ... drap ... drap ..." Rania ran past Oki. Running faster along each corridor. Until finally his body fell on one of the benches in the campus garden.
"What is this? Why Oki say that? Then what is this feeling? Why does my heart pound, when Oki says he likes me? Strange! "Various questions came to mind. "I do not believe. Is not we all just friends? Then why does he have to say likes me to his friend? "He mumbled again.
"Tap ... tap ... tap ..." footsteps walked up to him. "Ran ..." someone called, the girl turned to look for the presence of the voice coming from.
"Oki ?!" she snapped.
"I'm sitting here huh?" Oki pointed toward the empty space next to him. He also replied with a nod of the head. "Srett ..." Oki quickly sat down beside him. "You why, tumben meet immediately run away? Is there a problem? "Asked the straight-haired guy staring at him ..
"Ki, I heard your talk with Dion."
"You mean?" Oki snapped at Rania sharply.
"Yeah I heard, if you ..." Rania stopped her and sighed. "I can not believe what you say with him!" He continued.
"Why are you so angry? What are you hearing? "
"Huft ... never mind to pretend again! I've heard everything. I think, you've been sincerely friends with me. Apparently ... "Rania did not continue her words, stood up and ready to walk away.
"Am I wrong, if it turns out I like you ?!" Oki stopped his pace. Rania just stand still back to Oki. "I also do not know, since when did the feeling arise. But as long as with you, that feeling just grows. I know, maybe you're not happy! That's why I never told you. But today, you even know it yourself. Then what's my fault ?! "obviously the guy was a little annoyed.
"I do not want to hear anymore!" Rania exclaimed running away from Oki. His feelings became unfamiliar. Disgrace enveloped his heart. She did not think they should be there. He does not want to lose Oki as his friend. But with the incident, as if all the excitement when with Oki destroyed.
They had not spoken for several days, since the quarrels had occurred. Rania always avoided each time she passed Oki. Even so, Oki is still chasing after him. But a week passed, this long-haired girl no longer found the figure of a man who always stood in front of his lecture hall.
Anxiety begins to fill his heart. The days he spent alone with his classmates. No more Oki figure who often accompany him and make him laugh. Without it, two weeks passed so quickly. He was always alone and feeling lonely. Although her classmate Lina consoled her, but could not complete the empty space in her heart. Where previously the space was filled by Oki. The man she knew when ospek, and managed to decorate her life with jokes of laughter.
"Ran, look who's that ?!" Lina pointed toward the two students who walked past the row of Economics faculty. Rania was immediately turned to the direction of his friend. "Is not that Oki? but who is the girl next to her? It seems very familiar. See aja tuh, they laugh so giggly, "added Lina.
"I do not know," Rania shook her head.
"Ran, do you want like this continue? Are not you always close, everywhere always both. But not anymore, "said Lina worried.
"Never mind Lin, you know yourself right? How's it going? "
"Yeah I know, but what's wrong? If it turns out among your friends grow love ?! "Lina replied a little furious.
"Lin!" Shouted Rania snapped back.
"Ran, listen to me," Lina touched Rania's shoulder. "Did not I ever tell you. Among the friendship of a male and female batik, surely love can grow. It can not be just friends. In your case with Oki, I do not think he's wrong. If in the end like you. Similarly you, there is no harm in accepting his love, "he explained.
"But I'm afraid Lin!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Rania was confused by her feelings. On the other hand he wants to go back as he used to be Oki. But on the other hand, he is afraid that the courtship will damage their closeness. His mind was full of fear of hostility, if only their courtship would not work. Then always quarrel, until it ends on the word end.
"Ran ...! Why are you even staring? What are you afraid of? "Lina snarled.
"I'm afraid that we'll invite later, keep breaking up. The ends become enemies. "
"What do you think about it? The name of a person dating, definitely do not want to break up. Because both are afraid to lose! "Said this short-haired girl. "I asked you deh. Do you like Oki? "
"Do not know."
"Ask your heart. How important is Oki to you. Keep what you feel when there's no one beside you. "
"Oki it's been half of my life Lin. Though I avoided her, but I was always afraid. I was afraid of him. I'm also afraid of losing him. "
"It's a sign you have the same feeling to him! So what are you waiting for?!"
"You mean?"
"You actually like him, and always want to be by his side. The love has grown in your heart. Where you are afraid of losing him. "
"But Lin ..."
"There's no need for buts. Now you go to him, and say about your feelings. "
"But what if he already has a boyfriend? That girl? "He thought.
"No! I'm sure not. Although they are close, not necessarily boyfriend. Feelings of love are not that easy to turn away Ran. When we love someone, those feelings will continue to grow. It takes a long time, to be able to turn your heart to others. So I'm sure he's still waiting for you, "Lina said tightly holding Rania's shoulder.
"Is he still waiting for me?"
"I'm sure he's still waiting for you. Her love will not fade away. Now go! And express your feelings to him. "
Hearing Lina's remark, the long-haired girl, who let her dark hair loose, ran to the Economy faculty classroom. Today he will say everything to Oki. That he also loves her. So they can be together again.
Once close to Oki's lecture hall, his steps stopped. He sees Oki talking to a girl he has seen. Rania rushed to find a hiding place, behind the bushes. When he noticed the girl's gaze looked seriously looking Oki eyes.
"Ki, there's something I want to say to you a long time ago. But seeing you are always with Rania, I am undoing it. And now, knowing that if you do not relate to him again, I feel good, "said the girl sitting next to Oki.
"What did he say? He's happy, if I'm no longer close to Oki ?! "Rania growled in her hiding place.
"Why do you say that?" Oki said surprised.
"Yeah I'm happy. That way, I can be close to you. "
"What are you talking about Ver? I do not understand it. We're close, because we're friends. "
"That is not what I mean."
"Then?"
"So what I want to say to you is that, even though we're a class, but I want to be more than your friend."
"You mean ?!" Oki snapped his eyebrow curiously.
"Yeah Ki, actually from the first I like you. But I just have no chance to tell you. Because you are.
