A Hopeful
Zeline Pov's

My name is Zeline Nagatha Nasution, a 20-year-old girl, son of Ms. Azima Sekar Nasution and Mr. Fadli Zamzami Nasution,

today was the first day I went to college, which I should have entered a year ago, but because for a year my illness always recurred and for months I was treated by my favorite handsome doctor,😁

I've enrolled in one of the top colleges in my city, this was where Reza and I dreamed of a campus together, going to college together, the same department, and then, but it was all just a dream, after fate separated us both.

I majored in Law, because I wanted to be a lawyer.

I drove my car to the campus gate and looked for an empty parking lot.

I convinced myself "this is my first day of college, so there can't be anything I don't want to happen, hopefully.

I looked for my classroom on the third floor, when I entered my classroom there was only one empty bench left and it was next to the quiet boy, because only he did not talk to his classmates.

"Alright Zeline you should sit next to her and take her along". I once again strengthened myself.

"Hi, my name is Faza"

I turned to my left, the man introduced himself to me?

I looked to the right, and to the back, was there anyone other than me or not and it turned out to be just me, because next to the man was a wall.

"Oh hi, I'm Zeline" I awkwardly allowed myself

"You want to be friends with me?" Very to the point, right?

"Oh yes" I said with a smile, I don't know, since I was in high school I no longer want to be friends with anyone, because of the trauma that still lingers in me.

The first course is over, today I only have two courses, morning and afternoon, this afternoon I plan to find a job, so I can get my own money.

"there are still no courses?" Faza said after looking at me

"There will be 1 pm" I replied as if

"You going to the cafeteria?" Take her to me with a flat expression

"Em may, I am also thirsty" with a smile I answered her offer

"Would you like to go to the cafeteria or the front campus cafe?" It came back after we got to the cafeteria and it felt full

"Cafe is probably too full" I replied without looking at Faza and still looking around the cafeteria.

We walked towards the parking lot, and unconsciously I headed for my car and Faza followed me from behind.

I stopped in confusion, I felt something was awkward, I looked back, and sure enough Faza was still following me. I laughed when I saw his confused face.

We decided to take our car to the cafe

It's pretty crowded, but not as crowded as the campus cafeteria

"What message do you want?" Faza said as he opened the menu

"Well, if you don't drink it, I want mango juice" I said excitedly saying my favorite mango juice

Faza and I talked a lot about our daily lives, hobbies, and exchanging numbers to make it easier for us to communicate.

After the meal we continued chatting, and it came to my mind to ask for help from Faza to get me a job.

"Za, you know there's no more job vacancies?" I said with doubt

"Why? You want a job or who?" Faza frowned when he saw me smile

"I want to work, count and make extra money" I was excited to say my enthusiasm to Faza

"In my sister's cafe there's a job opening, you want?" Tawar Faza with his flat. The one thing I already knew about Faza, he was a flat, expressionless man, he would frown when confused at the strange behavior of others.

"I want, as long as it's halal I want" I was so enthusiastic that I didn't realize I was shifting my chair closer to Faza

"Let's walk, I'll take you to see my brother, and offer you to him.

My brain thought of the last word "offer?".
