Eps. 04 Pieces


"Srruuutt." Tia brewed a cup of warm chocolate milk and a box of Tia's favorite bulls who had accompanied her to work on a field practice proposal that she had not finished with Faiz.


Uh no, that's a proposal that only Tia herself did.


The western song line filled the room measuring 5x5 meters with all-white paint makes Tia increasingly focus on working on field practice proposals. Occasionally, the sound of chanting the song follows the rhythm of music connected with his small old speaker.


His gaze suddenly fixed on the blue rectangular object that rang, Tia stared at the screen of her phone with no intention of raising the incoming call from an unknown number. However, his phone did not stop ringing even up to 3 missed calls.


"Hallo," finally Tia decided to pick up the call.


"Hallo Tia" said Faiz in a slightly alay tone.


"It turns out you. What's up?" tia said as if she knew who called her.


"Waah looks like you're really interested in me well, until you can recognize my voice," Faiz replied in a teasing tone.


"What the hell," Tia


"When this was the first time I called you, using my mother's number hahaha," Faiz's laughter rang out.


"Tuutt.tuttt." the phone was cut off.


"Ah this woman." Seemed annoyed when he realized that his phone had been turned off by Tia.


"Don't just want to talk about the tools and materials for the field practice," Faiz spoke to himself.


After 30 minutes passed, he finally decided to send a list of tools and materials through whenapp as if to understand that Tia definitely needed it.


Faiz poured his body into a soft mattress that always made him comfortable while staring at the screen hape waiting for a reply from Tia but not a single chat that entered even just a thank you until he fell asleep while holding the gap.

"Aaww.I fell asleep here," Tia woke up from her sleep holding her neck which was sick from falling asleep in front of the laptop in a sitting position.


Pons not far from his desk. "Mmm.. it's 100% well," Tia removed the cable connected to her phone.


"Eh, Faiz called why?" Tia turned on her phone when she remembered the last call before the battery. He checked the incoming messages from Faiz which contained a list of tools and materials for the practice that should be included in the proposal.


"Huh basic sensitist," said Tia while continuing her pending work and copying the contents of the message sent by Faiz, it is undeniable that the message really helped her work.


It has been an hour Tia focus on staring at the laptop screen finally boredom began to come closer. Closing the ms. word 2010 sheet for a while.


"Why do you always bother me anyway?"


he said while pointing at the laptop screen attached to the photo of the owner.


"I'm tired. Want to fall down first well," he said while staring at the laptop screen as if talking to the owner of the laptop. However, suddenly a nosy idea emerged in his mind to check the contents of Faiz's laptop


unknowingly, his index finger clicked on a file containing pictures of family, friends and even photos belonging to Faiz ranging from small to high school.


Occasionally Tia's lips are drawn symmetrically to see photographs of Faiz's childhood memories.


"Yes.well, all the little ones must be adorable, "Tia was busy talking to herself.


"The mother is beautiful and young. She looks like a fine child in front of her mother."


"Hhmmm it turns out he's a spoiled kid huh." That's how Tia commented on every photo she saw.


Did not feel the clock has shown at 05.45 Tia realized and immediately opened the worksheet in ms. word that was closed.


"Because I forgot about this time,"


Tia quickly finished the final part of the proposal that she had not been able to work on given that she had class this morning at 07:30

"You why?" Faiz.


He approached Tia a few minutes apart as the lecturer left the lecture hall.


"He's watching me, huh?" Tia did not answer Faiz's question.


"No need to ge'er. You sit at the front and your head falls down a few times, ruining the view" Faiz.


"Can he read people's minds?" mumbling Tia


"Hey don't mumble, speak clearly!" Faiz


"Cih turned out to be a photo and the original is the same" Tia said in her heart.


"Why don't you answer? you're fascinated by my charisma, huh?" faiz said confidently.


Tia did not answer at all she just took a deep breath.


"Come with me!" Faiz.


"Where are you going?" Tia was surprised by spontaneously her head raised up.


"You're on a date," Faiz let out a big laugh when he saw Tia just glancing at him cynically.


"We gather early enough the proposal, who knows if there is a revision so there is still time to fix it," said Faiz immediately left his seat died in the lecture room. Shortly after, Tiapun immediately rushed to follow Faiz.


***


"Thank God the proposal was immediately accepted without any revision," said Tia with a sense of relief when she came out of the lecturer's room.


"Drink!! it's for your hard work," Faiz thrust out the canned milk he took out of the bag


"Take it suitable for people who are sleep deprived." Unscrew the lid of the can and directly handed it to Tia's hand.


"Once again he's sensitizing" Tia said in her heart.


"Strengthen your heart, lest your ship be unmoved," Faiz whispered in Tia's ear in a seductive tone and quickly walked away from her.


"What the hell is he," Tia grumbled as she stared at Faiz's back until it disappeared from her eyes
