Hijrahku From Dating
part 34's

From that day on, when Risen gave me a tissue, I began to open my heart to her. The chat that I used to ignore, now I'm starting to reply. Although, I really haven't been able to forget Adam. But, the motivations from Awakening have always strengthened me. I think there's a point, too. That we should start a new day, start a new story, and slowly forget the past. Me & Rise very rarely met with each other's busyness, so our conversation only through WA chat. Moreover, the very strict cost rules made me not free to meet Bangkit.

Today, I came earlier than usual to the college. I don't know why, my routine was finished sooner than usual. Maybe because I had bought breakfast via Go-Food, because I was lazy to cook by myself as usual. Haha, maybe not cooking it yourself exactly. But, just help cooking with friends one kos. Yeah, I can't cook because I rarely help you when you cook at home.

.

My class is still quiet. Suddenly, the Rise came carrying a small cake with some candles on it. She sang "Happy birthday to you" as she stepped from the door to my stool. I was both surprised and happy. I stood up with a smile on my cheek.

.

"Happy birthday, Annisa. Let's blow out the candles" said Rise.

"Thank you" I said and blew out the candle.

Rise put the cake on the table and held my two hands. I'm getting hot cold.

"Annisa, I love you so much. Will you be my girlfriend?" ask Awake who I don't know how many times. Because, he often revealed it to me even through chat.

"I love you too. But.." I answered hanging.

Silent mood.

"OKAY. I nerima you. I'll try to be a good boyfriend to you" I said in tears. Saying something completely contrary to my own feelings.

I don't know what pushed me, until I dared to stick my head on the chest of the Rise field. I shed all my tears, so that I wet the Rise T-shirt. Rise up just silent.

"Maybe, I said something that doesn't fit my heart. Maybe my heart is different from my words. Maybe I'm a hypocrite. Maybe.." I said sobbing.

"Ssuut," Rise cut my words while rubbing my head. Yes, he is taller than me.

"That's enough. Enough for me we love each other. I'm sure someday you can love me as sincere as your heart, as time goes on. It's been. Don't think about the past. We welcome a new day with our love story. I love you," said Awaken while still gently rubbing my head.

I realized that I was going to college soon. I kept my head away from my chest and wiped my tears.

"All right, I'll try. Thanks for the surprise today. Though simple, I am very happy" I said with a smile.

I just nodded. Get up and walk to the door. Arriving at the door, Bangkit was surprised to meet Vina who also wanted to enter the class.

"Eh, there's Risen Sister," said Vina.

"Yes, Vin," said Rise.

"By the way, is that why the collar got wet?" ask Vina.

"Oohs.. I-this was a daze. I-iya dry! You run away from my class to find Annisa. Yeah, I'll go first, yeah!" the word Rise lies.

"Eh, yes Brother," said Vina while slightly stepping aside to pass Bangkit.

Vina was dumbstruck, astonished to see the strange attitude Rise up. His mouth was still gaping as his eyes looked up Rise until it was completely invisible. I sat down on the bench again to eat the cake that was given the Rise. Vina headed towards my stool with a face like interrogating me.

"Why are you like that, Vin?" I asked while bribing the cake into my mouth.

"Oos.. So you're celebrating today? Congratulations to you!" vina said while sitting on her stool.

"Yes, you want this cake?" ask me while giving a cardboard containing the cake.

Vina smiled and picked up a piece of cake and ate it.

"Vin, today I'm the same Rise," I said as I put a cardboard cake on my desk again.

"Uhukk-uhukk," Vina chokes.

"What's? So then? Congratulations, yes! Finally made up, too," said Vina sparkling.

Then, I finished my cake and stared at the rest of the cake in front of me. I remembered Adam's memory on my birthday a year ago. I smiled, the memories repeated. Even with different people.
