I Hate Having to Love
Chapter VIII Acquaintance of Dina


Dika is the man that Dina introduced to me she's cousin to Faisal and Dina. Dina said she had studied in pesantren with Faisal. It seems like he's a good guy too like Faisal but I haven't been able to also accept his actual but this is Dina's request I don't feel good if it rejects her .


" Great Assalamualaikum, it's me Dika her cousins Dina and Faisal "congratulations Dika .


" Waalaikumsalam oh yes Dika salam know" I replied.


" What is beautiful ? It's busy right now" asked Dika.


" It's normal that I'm doing my chores, pretty busy, but it's okay" I replied.


Dika always melts the atmosphere with his pleasantries that are always wondering but I always answer soberly because I am confused what else to answer and I am also confused if I have to ask , ask what questions .


" It's beautiful to major what is indeed the wealth of busy once "ask Dika .


" I'm majoring in health. I took this health major that was asked by my parents so inevitably I have to obey this for my future "my word .


" Oh, it's good dong if that's the case, if I'm majoring in religious sciences because, unfortunately, if the religious knowledge I learned in pesantren is not developed" said Dika .


" Yes I was with Faisal, he's a pinter loh actually, unfortunately Faisal had to stop in the middle of the semester because, Faisal's family could no longer finance Faisal" replied Dika.


" Why is it ?" Ask me curiously .


" Yes because, Faisal has been in his father's residence since childhood so only his mother who makes a living, so only stay the mother who makes a living, while Faisal and his younger sister were still small at that time so Faisal since quitting pesantren he helped his mother make a living to finance her daily needs" Dika story.


Sad to feel this heart when reading Dika's story about Faisal, there are still children who are willing to leave his education in order to help his mother make a living for her family. I am lucky that I can still attend school to achieve all my dreams.


The more days Dika and I got closer. Because I feel comfortable when I talk to Dika , his attitude which is like Faisal when facing women patiently and appreciating it is what makes me comfortable with Dika but I have not been able to open this heart completely to Dika because, because, in this heart still stored neatly the name of Faisal and all the sweet attitude of Faisal.


Although sometimes Dika always shows his attention to me the same as Faisal but all that is different . Dika always gives me motivation about life and always gives me good advice.


The days passed already a week I know Dika but still this feeling can not forget Faisal just like that, I also just think of Dika as an ordinary friend just confided, a friend confided, friends exchange ideas also because Dika's attitude is very mature in my opinion.
