"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 continuing reading.
This time I can settle for reading a book. No distractions or anything like that. This is a situation I like. Quiet, comfortable and quiet.
"Done. Time to hang up."
I put some books in and go downstairs. There I can see Mama is making pancakes.
"Ma, Dela went to campus first."
"Yes, be careful dear."
I hummed softly to reduce the feeling of the hot sun. Going to campus during the day is a real pain, fortunately only two class schedules are like this.
I stopped briefly at the school supply store. I ran out of pens and notebooks. Even though I was in college the habit of taking notes in books was still done.
If I don't write I haven't experienced real learning.
"Excuse me."
The person in front of me smiled then shifted to make room for me to see the types of pens and notebooks.
"Sorry, may I ask?"
My eyes stared at the person who suddenly spoke only after that I nodded weakly.
"Do you know about Namith Univerits?"
"Yes, I was one of the students."
"What a coincidence. I'm planning to move to that campus."
I keep seeing this person who is talking. He looked at me in surprise because I paid too much attention to him. Instantly I smiled awkwardly and looked away.
"Recommend my name is Naira."
Without wasting much time, I immediately welcomed the helping hand from this person I just met and said my name.
I never thought that we would look very close at the beginning of the meeting. Even during our time at the school supply store, we talked a lot about the campus where I attended.
Naira's friendly nature and manner of speaking made my awkward habits towards new people forgotten. I answered every question so enthusiastically that I thought I looked like a campus ambassador.
I have always been proud to study there. Maybe that's why it was my instinct to find out that this person wanted to move to our campus.
"Are you crossbreed?"
I asked when we were about to part.
"Em. I am of mixed Indonesian and American descent."
I froze. Suddenly my mind drifted to Hiery's talk about Dzrilla.
Is this him?
So soon as we meet up?
"Dela. Thank you for your information. I'll go home first."
"Ah, yes. be careful."
I realized and let go of this new person I met.
“Naira, Dzrilla.
"I have to ask Hiery's real name Dzrilla."
Finally I arrived at the campus. Just finished parking the bike I immediately rushed to find Hiery. If my thoughts are right Dzrilla is Naira it means I have to be extra in maintaining my attitude and suppress my feelings.
Naira will transfer to college here. And I never imagined that she would be that beautiful, kind and friendly. The person she was paired with was very lucky.
"Hiery!"
I struggled like a person after running the 5 KM sprint.
"Hey you why Dela?"
Hiery immediately gave his drinking water. My throat feels better after it drains.
"What is Dzrilla's real name?"
Hiery was surprised by my sudden question but after that he immediately answered.
"Sorry, I do not know."
I look sluggish at the answer.
"Wait for me to check on the cellphone first."
My spirit is back. With a beating heart I waited for Hiery to finish with her cellphone. I hope Dzrilla includes your real name in an account or sites on the internet.
"Found it. Naira Audzrilla."
"What!?"
"Naira Audzrilla."
Hiery said, repeating the name again as if my words were a question. In fact it was not a question but a statement of shock. In chaotic situations I often act confused.
"Gosh, Hiery."
"Why Dela?"
"I met him. I met Naira Audzrilla."
"What! Where?"
I decided to ask Hiery to talk in class. talking in public while standing makes us the center of attention, both he and I don't like being noticed.
Hiery was seen massaging my head while I looked down. We just finished discussing my meeting with Naira Audzrilla.
"I never thought that you would meet this soon."
Hiery spoke still with a head massaging position after looking at me.
"How about after this?"
"I have no idea. I'm also confused about what to behave with him."
My plan to talk privately with Dzrilla alias Naira faded when I met him. It's not as easy as I thought.
“Wait. It's not that you really want to meet Dzrilla. Isn't this great?"
"Correct. But not this fast."
Suddenly my cellphone sounded again I look annoyed, why lately I often forget to turn on silent mode? Hiery looked at me confused.
"Your cellphone rang."
"I know."
"Then why isn't it picked up?"
"Okay."
My eyes were glued for a long time on the cellphone screen.
"Who?"
I looked at Hiery seriously.
"Neron."
☼☼☼☼☼
Hiery and I listened carefully to Neron's explanation. Based on the explanation I will be interviewed by taking the video. I thought I would just do a casual interview. even if you have to use an electronic device, at most, only the voice recording.
"How can you?"
Hiery nudged my hand while I still didn't answer Neron's question.
"Ner can only be recorded, or photographed?"
"Sorry can't Dela. We plan to put the video on the official Youtube channel of Press Ziyath."
Geez, Youtube. I don't want my face to be exposed on social media.
"How ya Ner. I honestly don't want my face exposed on the internet."
I smiled awkwardly at the person in front of me.
"Come on Dela I really appreciate your privacy. But please help this UKM Press."
I seem to be thinking about Neron's request which already looks like a wish. It turned out that this person was a pretty good persuader.
What do you think is a good answer?
I really want to help but yes if I break something I don't like, I have to think two or three times.
Is not it?
So, what do I have to answer?
Sob...
"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
"Hey Miss Mahendra.""Clari," quick correction.I just smiled awkwardly. I watched him choose decorations without spending much time and confusion. Not like me. To choose just one decoration is hard to ask forgiveness.“You haven't bought it yet?""Geez, boy. You must have a hard time choosing which decoration to buy, right?”I scratched my head in response to Clari's words. She looks like talkative moms."Okay. I will help you.""Thank's just that please don't be surprised.""Why should I be surprised?"She said while holding a hanger in the end him and I were immersed in the selection of decorations.“50 pieces. No wonder you have trouble choosing it."Clari immediately commented after we finished selecting."Anyway, are you hungry. Shall we eat there?""Sorry Clari. I have to go home."Actually I'm not comfortable with Clari. If only today I didn't want to go home s
“Sorry I can't decide that yet. But I really want to get to know you better. That means you and Dzrilla are in the same position. I already know Dzrilla quite far and I also want to know you."“Of course. I just warned you, don't play with me."We both smile. From the look on his face I felt that the ice man was ready for the consequences he would get if he was in the situation I mentioned earlier.He will regret it if she dares to mess with me. Yes, of course, I'll confirm that.☼☼☼☼☼~Clarissa Mahendra~I read a book accompanied by a glass of fruit juice. Not long ago I was immersed in reading thoughts about Deri Cloriea approaching. I smiled faintly then took a letter of application to fill a business seminar."Deri, Dela, Dzrilla. Triple D, interesting."I continued the reading program.~Naira Audzrilla~"Grandma, should I finish this?"My eyes stare in horror at the concoction made from generation to g
