"Hans, thank you for helping me." Said Niken after arriving in front of her apartment.
"You really live here?" Hans asked as he scrunched his forehead and looked around the apartment. Niken nodded. "Wahhh, what a coincidence." Hans smiled broadly as he looked at Niken's face. While Niken frowned. What do you mean by this guy. Ketus Niken in his heart.
"Hans...." Rudi shouted with Hans' suitcase and other luggage. "It's yours."
"okkey. Thanks." Thanks." Hans replied while patting Rudi's arm.
"Reverse yes." Tukas Rudi's.
"okkey. Thanks a lot." Hans nodded, then carried his backpack.
"You live here?" Ask Niken clumsy. Hans nodded with a thin smile typical of a Hans.
"Is there an empty apartment here? I think it's full. Oh yeah, the edge of my apartment is empty and it's...."
"1442." Hans. Niken was in disbelief. Number 1441 is her apartment number. That means they will be on the neighborhood.
"Ohh God." Mumbled Niken. Hans narrowed his eyes.
"What floor are you staying on?" Hans answered and went into the elevator. And so is Niken.
"When did you stay here?" Ask Niken curiously.
"Since this second." Hans replied as he walked towards the elevator. "Why?"
"Uhmm no. It's okay." Niken felt strange because suddenly Hans was going to be his neighbor. They came out on the same floor. Niken lived in apartment number 1441, while Hans lived in apartment number 1442.
"You live here?" Ask Hans. Niken nodded slowly.
"Find me your new neighbor, my name is Hans." Hans extended his hand.
"Uhh." Niken looked at Hans.
"It's good to see you back, Niken Khan." Hans. Niken blinked both eyes in disbelief.
"Huh...?"
"Before I enter. May I ask you something?" Ask Hans. Niken raised both eyebrows.
"Do you live here with your husband?" Niken's heart stopped beating. Hans's gaze was so sharp, as if conjuring up Niken's feelings that were originally fine.
"No. I mean, I'm not married and I live here alone." Answer Niken.
Hans developed his smile, "in that case, I'll be free to flirt and seduce you." Reply Hans.
"Huh?"
"Bye Niken."
"Bye Hans." Hans walks into his apartment, and so does Niken. Niken locked the door to his apartment. He sighed softly, then he sat down on the sofa.
I don't know what I'm worried about. But this feeling seemed to be a real proof of my expectations. He left without saying goodbye, as if I had never been in his life. Before I realized I was wrong. He sincerely apologized to me, he said honestly, but stubbornly I never believed him. You know, Hans, that I used to like you. If this time gives us a chance, will I like you again? What am I supposed to do? I know, you're a different man. But how can I trust you? Is this a coincidence? We met in Seoul, and now you're my neighbor. Is this what we call destiny? Batin Niken's. He breathed a long breath. Then he got up from his seat, kept the bag, and then turned on the faucet to fill the water in the bathtub.

Niken drove a purple Honda Jazz to his campus. As always, he always looks stylish and elegant. Niken cleaned and tidied up his desk and installed a room freshener near the ac.
"Niken, there's a meeting. Ayooo..." Bella approached him to provide important information from the rector. Niken nodded and carried his bag.
"What's wrong? This isn't our meeting." Said Niken while walking beside Bella.
"I heard that the rector will introduce us to a new professor. You know the professor this time isn't like Mr. Dani." Bella said in a whisper.
"Where do you know that?"
"Everybody knew this a week ago. Said the professor this time handsome, young and still single." The reply. Niken smiled thinly. Bella is like that.
"This is not Niken's gossip. But facts. I heard it myself from the Rector." Reply Bella.
"Yes Bella. It's up to you." They arrived in the multimedia room. Mr. Kiki the general rector of the campus was already sitting in the front seat with someone who Niken knew was 'Hans'. Hans's eyes fell on Niken, and he reached his hand. Everyone looked at him. Niken smiled clumsyly.
"Did he reach out his hand to you?" Ask Bella.
"Huh...? Umm I don't know." Niken answered nervously. The meeting began.
"You must be wondering who this handsome young man sitting next to me is. He is our new professor. He transferred from Lomonosov Moscow State University. In Russia, great, right? Hans please." Mr. Kiki's words let Hans introduce himself.
"Good morning everyone. You can call me Hans. That's enough." Hans. Then he sat back down.
"The more young professors the better this campus is. Ohya, your desk is next to Miss Niken." Said mr. Kiki. Niken almost choked when her name was mentioned.
"You okay?" Bella. While Niken was nervous.
"Hha eee-mm yes. Fine." The answer.
"Mom Niken, can you drive Mr Hans?" Said mr. Kiki.
"Yes... Ehh huh's... Ummm good." Reply Niken nervously.
"Ooh yes, to get to know the campus environment, you can be accompanied by..."
"Mrs Niken." Cut Hans. "I want Miss Niken to accompany me." Hans.
"Well if that's your request. Miss Niken take care of your performance. Please." Connect Mr. Kiki. Niken gulps in disbelief.
"Ohh, thank you sir." Reply Hans.
"Sorry sir, I don't mind. But it's been 2 weeks I'm not teaching, can you just point the other one, Bella for example." Said Niken refusing in a subtle way.
"Ahh yes, too. How's mr Hans?" Mr. Kiki was a little confused.
"I don't want anything else." Hans.
"Please cooperate, Miss Niken." Mr. Kiki said at last.
Niken gulped in annoyance. "What's wrong with you?" Ask Bella.
"It's okay." Said Niken while tucking her hair into her ear. Hans smiled kindly, while Niken grumbled in annoyance.
"Let's Niken's mother." Tukas Hans's. Niken glares.
"Kauuu.... You're such a bitch?" Groused Hans.
"Why?" Hans asked with a smile.
"Have you planned this from the beginning? I'm quite surprised that you became my neighbor. And today I'm also very surprised that you teach at the same college as me. And worse, you'll be in one room with me. Ohhh God, this is a disaster for me." Niken is furious.
Hans poked Niken's back.
"What?" Ask Niken by showing a bad attitude.
"I am your luck. So be nice to me, and then you'll get whatever you want." Reply Hans.
"Ahhh whatever." Niken turned her body.
"Hey, do you want me to report to Mr. Kiki that your performance is really bad." Threat Hans.
Niken gave a long sigh. "alright. Please come with me, Mr. Dear hansraj." Tukas Niken's.
"It's so good." Hans said with a laugh. Throughout the day, Niken introduced several buildings throughout the campus to Hans. Also introduced to all students.
