~Naira Audzrilla~
My eyes wandered away. Memories of two weeks ago took over my mind. I understand the reason he did everything. Right now..., I just miss the moment with him.
I know this isn't true, but the memory just comes without being able to prevent it.
"Deri. Why don't you want to fight for our relationship?"
I imagined the things that made us in a relationship. At that time he was still a friend. We met at the library..., I who are of mixed Indonesian and American descent, have special access to be more familiar with him.
At that time he easily said that he was tired of using foreign languages, he really missed the language of his birthplace.
I smiled at the thought then looked at our picture.
"Goodbye Deri. Wish you happiness. Maybe it's better if we just be friends."
Correct. Tomorrow I will fly to Indonesia to learn to take care of the family business as well as move campuses. I'm going to settle down and spend time with Grandma on Daddy's side.
My eyes stared in amazement at the surrounding environment. Today our plane landed smoothly in Indonesia. This is the first time I've come here. I can't wait to visit Raja Ampat tourist attractions.
I'm not the kind of person who likes to travel but Raja Ampat has been attracting my attention for a long time.
"Grandmother!"
I immediately rushed into the arms of the old man.
"Gosh..., where are your Daddy and Mommy?"
"They haven't come, Grandma. Daddy still has work so he came here the day after tomorrow."
I am satisfied with my mastery of my Indonesian vocabulary. Even though this is the first time I've set foot in Daddy's hometown. While in America I often used the international language, namely English.
But when I am at home I prefer to use Indonesian so I can master the language. Since I was little, I kept telling Daddy to teach me that mother tongue.
Pletak!
Grandmahit my head softly. When you are angry, my grandmother likes to hit people. I know that's because her habit has passed on to me too.
"Why don't you wait for them, Grandma is worried about you Naira."
I smiled awkwardly at my grandmother, then said sorry. Since a long time ago my grandmother called me Naira, that name was her gift. It's just that when in America people called me Dzrilla as well as Mommy and Daddy.
"Well, grandparents must be tired. Okay, let's go to home."
I smiled broadly at what Grandma said. Besides I am the only child of Mommy and Daddy, also the only granddaughter. grandmother has two sons. Daddy was the eldest while Pamlie was the last.
I should have called Pamlie as Uncle, but because I was always spoiled by him, I changed the word Uncle to Pamlie.
Pamlie's family often visited us in America, I was happy when they came because Auntie always brought me food from Indonesia. What I like best are the rendang and chicken opor dishes.
Well, I was happy with their visit but not with my two older cousins. How could I not, one likes to tease me while the other is too overprotective.
Whatever their nature, I still really love them both. I can't wait to meet them. I'm Coming Indonesia!

"Dela, Dzilla comes to Indonesia!"
I, who just parked the bike, was suddenly surprised by Hiery's words. Luckily I don't have a history of heart disease, if so I might have tumbled.
"Come to Indonesia, you mean?"
I grin softly at the slow working brain system.
"Dzilla came to Indonesia."
My brain is still working to digest Hiery's words. When I just finished working hard my brain is often tense. Moreover, the test was very draining my head. This happened because I read books too often.
"Is he here? That's great. I really want to meet him."
I said finally.
"You are serious?"
"Yes. Me and him have to talk privately."
"You talk like that as if you already know where Dzilla is."
Hiery stared at him investigating.
“Not now Hiery, but later. Come on, let's go in."
During the trip I asked Hiery how did he know that Dzilla came here. She said that since the last two days he has been keeping an eye on Dzilla's status. Hiery has always had that person's contact. The two of them only rarely communicate.
I was so strange myself hearing Hiery's narrative. Since when had he turned into a status observer? I even imagined that Hiery would become a stalker.
Again, both Hiery and I have something in common, they don't like surfing in cyberspace. I know from the first time we met we did look good.
"Em..., does the ice man know that Dzilla came to Indonesia?"
"I have no idea. Brother Deri is too busy for me to contact."
"That's right, the CEO is very busy."
We immediately entered the campus.

“Dzrilla came to Indonesia. What should I do?"
I massaged the head which felt throbbing pain. Office work is piling up, after this there will also be a meeting with clients. Memories of two weeks ago came back to my mind.
"I'm sorry Ri. I don't want to disappoint my parents."
"I'm okay. I understand."
I keep seeing it. I don't know what to do, all I know is that I immediately pulled him into my arms. I never thought that our two years of relationship ended up like this.
"I Love You."
"Me too."
I could feel that he was crying and I tightened our hug even more as if I didn't want to let him go.
"Sir, the meeting starts in five minutes."
I nodded at the secretary and started to follow him.
I..., confused and hesitated what to do about this. Hopefully after this we will still be fine. I'm afraid and worried but will keep trying to defend myself who knows how long. Anyway, I will continue to survive.

"Er... Hiery, do you think I look like a relationship breaker?"I don't know what I'm thinking. I just want to hear Hiery's opinion."Do you think?""Gosh, I asked you but you asked back."I said, pursing my mouth. If I'm upset my lips can move a few inches.“Brother Deri and Dzrilla match. But their relationship is only in the past. Here you guys are arranged so I don't think you're wrong. We'll see the progress."“He said his family already knew that he already had a girlfriend. Then why do they keep matching us? It will only hurt one of us. And it starts from Dzrilla.""Hey, if it's not yet a match, that's how it is. Take it easy the ribs will not be swapped.""I have no idea. this relationship made me confused and scared. You're the one who told me to mean it. So sooner or later there will be feelings that I don't know what it is.""Then you are meant to live together.""What's living together, I s
"Oh yes. Sorry Ner, I'll think about it later,"I said finally."Dela I really ask your help. I on behalf of Ziyath Press chairman hope you can help us."I laughed half forced. I know Neron doesn't have any intention except for the things he talked about earlier but I have to be careful with him, I mean the people who admire him."Yes Ner, as long as your fans don't make strange news I will definitely help UKM Press."I paused for a moment, it seems I said wrong."I mean, if we can manage the timing I'll participate."I said with a makeshift laugh. It's definitely not my usual self. Why can I turn out like this?"Of course Dela, we will adjust your schedule. Thank you for the help.""You're welcome."And the call was stopped. I grimaced softly. Hopefully there won't be any strange news after this."Oh yes, I can ask Hiery to accompany me. Aish..., why don't you think?"I smiled briefly before continu
"There are still some people who take part in the competition. How about you ask one of them for help?""Ah, right.""They have often participated in UKM Press activities. And now we want to find new sources. Are you really unable to help Namith Zela University Ziyath Press UKM?"Ah..., Neron mentioned the name of UKM Press with campus at the same time. I can't bear to hear it Besides that. I, who was very proud and had a sense of belonging to the campus, was very touched to hear that sentence."Okay l will. I ask for guidance and patience from Ziyath Press Student Activity Unit because this is the first time for me."Hiery looked at me in shock. I also don't understand why I'm acting like this. But when it comes to the name of the campus, I can't tug like that.Since the beginning, this has been a campus activity. I was just too shocked when I heard that there was going to be a video."Thank's Hyerin Delaxa.""You're welcome."
I waited anxiously for Dzrilla. I cursed myself for coming to the restaurant too soon and now I even look uneasy like this. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly."Calm down Dela, calm down.""Hello Dela.""Jeez."I was shocked to death to hear the voice of the person who had just come."Are you okay?"Dzrilla held my shoulder."Yes, l'm fine."My eyes fixed on seeing someone who was with Dzrilla. His face looks really cool. As if he understood the direction of my gaze, Dzrilla immediately introduced the person."Dela introduced my cousin, his name is Dinar.""Dela."We shake each other."Why did Dzrilla even invite his cousin?"Dzrilla's cousin then ordered food. I waited for 12 minutes accompanied by five glasses of hot chocolate that had been empty since earlier. The plan was that I wanted to order the sixth glass if I didn't remember the large number of glasses."Dela really likes
"Hello. Sorry to bother you late afternoon like this Dela.""Of course it doesn't matter."I put the cellphone away for a moment and grinned slowly then brought it back to my ear. I waited for the ice man to speak but not a single voice was heard. It makes me see if the call is still connected or not."Why did you call you?"I asked finally."There is something I want to discuss with you.""About?"Not the answer I got but a vague deheman. Heard from his voice I thought the ice man was hesitating whether to say something or not. This time I decided to keep waiting."Dzrilla, he came to Indonesia. I don't know how I can tell you but..., I hope you understand that he came to Indonesia not to find me but because he wanted to spend time with his extended family and learn to manage his family's company."I was speechless hearing the words of the ice man. Were they still in touch until he found out why Dzrilla had come here?
~Naira Audzrilla~I'm busy making donuts. My cooking skills are not that great. So far I have only mastered how to make several cakes, one of which is donuts."Beautiful."I smiled broadly at the first cake that I just gave the topping. The first layer is brown and the second is colorful mussels."Sis Drie, don't!"It's too late. My first donut was grabbed by this nosy brother.“Not bad. My Bonnie is getting better at baking."I looked at the 'thief' with annoyance.“Oh my god, cute. Quickly make it again."My cheek was hit by the pinch target. I'm heren. Many people say I look creepy when angry instead of cute. But Drie always pinched my cheek as if I was really cute in his eyes."Yes! Do not bother me Mr. Drian Audrikza.""I still want to eat Bonnie's donuts, please make some more."Drie's puppy eyes instantly enchanted me."Okay. But please stop that stare."I said lazily
"Oh, then where are you?"Just when Dzrilla said that, his eyes caught Hiery and me."It would be better if she found out we were friends of me straight away than he had mixed thoughts if she knew we were friends without knowing my point of view."Hiery nodded in understanding. It's just that there is still a clear dazed expression on his face. I'm not too worried about that, Hiery act like that because the mind is still innocent."Hy."“Hy. Well here is the friend I talked about earlier."Dzrilla stared at Hiery for a long time.“Hiery. You're Hiery Mayry, aren't you Deri's distant cousin?"I felt strange hearing Dzrilla mention the name ice man while Hiery smiled kindly. But I can quickly change facial expressions."It's great if you guys already know each other."Both of them smiled. Hiery also looks very happy."How are you Hiery?""Good. you yourself?""I am also fine."
~Hyerin Delaxa~I was reading a book in preparation for the competition when the cellphone on the nightstand rang. The ice man's name is printed there. I cringed in wonder, why did the ice man call so early like this?"Hello.""Hello."I answered briefly."There's something I want to ask you.""Just ask.""Did you meet Dzrilla? I heard he moved to your campus."I am shocked. How can the ice man always talk about Drilla to me. He's really annoying."You contacted Dzrillla right?"Now it is the turn of the person on the other side who is silent but not long after he returns to speak."Yes, just being friendly. Please answer my question earlier.""Do you know how I feel every time you call me always talking about Dzrilla?"Somehow got the courage from where the sentence just came out."Forgive me.""Never mind forget it."“Regarding your question, I have indeed met Dzri
