WHEN MY FACE CHANGED
Graduations

Jessica quickened her footsteps towards her boarding room on the 2nd floor. He opened the door and immediately sat himself on the edge of his mattress, drowning the faces in both palms.

“After this what should I do ?” He muttered considering that soon he would be legitimate out of campus, he was confused where to work later.

Ting

One message came in, Jessica immediately took the phone she put in the bag.

Have you arrived ? let me know if there's anything.

Feeling overly noticed, Jessica's eyes sparkled. Just this time someone asked after meeting.

Why is your attitude like this ? I'm afraid I'm indebted to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave you.

Jessica's inner self recalled the attitude and treatment Sherina had given her all along.

Jessica ignored the message and immediately turned off her phone. He doesn't want to be disturbed tonight, it's his night. Enough to enjoy yourself.

** A few weeks later **

Today is a happy day for the final semester student who has completed his thesis. It's going to be a historic day in college, but what about Jessica ? seen the girl curled up lazily on her mattress, fortunately Sherina was not ceaselessly contacting herself so that she could wake up early.

“Akh, I was suddenly lazy to go there.” Jessica murmured while sitting on the edge of the bed. How could he not be excited on happy days like this ? sure enough, everyone must think of him as crazy.

Slowly he rubbed his hair back, rubbing his eyes so as not to get sleepy again. He tried to force himself to have the spirit to go to his graduation event.

Jessica saw Sherina standing in front of the hall where today's graduation will take place. Jessica scrunched her forehead, confused as to why the woman standing there put on an annoyed, angry face as if to devour her.

“What are you doing here ?” Jessica asked, but she already knew the reason why Sherina was standing there.

“HAH ? WHY AM I HERE ? DOES THIS QUESTION MAKE SENSE ? I'VE BEEN CALLING YOU SINCE, WANTING TO PICK YOU UP HERE, BUT WHY DON'T YOU CARE AT ALL?” Said Sherina fiery.

“Who told you like that ? I didn't ask you to pick me up.” Jessica said coldly. Sherina rolled her eyeballs, looking at Jessica lazily. Then look at the human body in front of it from top to bottom.

“Don't look at me like that, what do I owe you?” Jessica was uncomfortable with Sherina's gaze.

“You came alone ?” Sherina asked with eyes full of suspicion. This woman did not invite any of her family to come here. That's how Sherina's head is.

“You think ?” Jessica asked him a question.

“Jessica, I know you're very difficult to approach. But how could you be here without your parents ? Don't tell me you didn't tell them ?” Sherina's eyes were fixed on the woman.

“How can I invite my parents when their bodies are no longer visible in this real world ?” Jessica's words managed to make Sherina speechless, misbehaved, feeling bad.

For whatever sake, please pull out my words just now, my God. Inner Sherina was speechless.

“Ma-forgive me” said Sherina bowed, feeling guilty.

“Other times there is no need to lecture me, who are you?”

Deg

Like being hit by a lightning strike, Sherina's heart was racing, feeling a deep pain. Heartache ? yes, of course he was hurt by Jessica's words. Who are you, anyway ? Oh, my God, for whatever reason Sherina can't move her lips. He just silently looked down to bow his head, eager to cry out loud, but he realized that this was purely his fault. But despite her mistake did Jessica have to ask that question ? Who are you ? so Jessica hasn't thought of it all this time ? Various questions wanted Sherina to ask, but held her back, because if she spoke she might cry.

No, I'll just go home. That's roughly the answer that's in Sherina's brain.

“Emmm, I want to join” Not according to the contents of the head, his mouth can-can say that sentence while smiling stiffly. Sherina curses herself, feeling her pride being trampled on.

Without saying much, Jessica entered the hall with Sherina. Inside the hall was filled with many people with various faces decorated with make-up and laughing with his family. Jessica looked at her classmates who were selfie with both parents with sparkling eyes, but soon she threw away the sadness by playing her phone. Sherina who was beside him felt sorry to see this woman, he could also feel how this elder sister felt. But Sherina did not want to say anything, even to encourage the woman he did not dare, because Sherina was very sure that the woman did not like being pitied.

The graduation ceremony took place when the MC gave a welcome word to the audience. The presenters cheered, applauding festively as the MCs said funny words. But not for Jessica, his eyes are looking forward, but far from the bottom of his heart he also wants parents who accompany him when celebrating the day he has successfully completed his lecture, but also from the bottom of his heart he wants to be with him, when his hard work has been recognized by the campus.

His tears did not come, his heart was in pain, his mouth wanted to cry out, saying that he was envious of people who still had a full family. Sherina thrust a tissue at Jessica, Jessica received it with embarrassment.

“Don't cry, later your make-up wear off.” Bisik Sherina tried to comfort the woman who was being overwhelmed with grief. Jessica replied with a faint smile, Sherina's words managed to make her smile while enduring cries like this. Again Jessica noticed Sherina, a woman who had been busy since yesterday even until this morning. Jessica felt sorry for making Sherina hurt by her words, but it was still a good thing Sherina came with her if not, jessica could have come home at this time because she could not stand the harmony of her friends with her parents.

Sherina looked at the graduates who were taking pictures on stage, she opened her camera, took pictures of the moment. Every moment of Jessica is immortalized by Sherina without the knowledge of the woman, somehow this woman is so fond of Jessica.

Sherina smiled broadly as Jessica approached her, the woman's eyes sparkling with a beautiful smile on her lips, a smile that was so sweet even Sherina just realized Jessica was as sweet as that.

Brakes

Jessica rammed her body with Sherina, Sherina who was shocked because she was suddenly hugged tightly just kept quiet while thinking about what was going on. But her lips smiled as she felt Jessica moved by her own achievements.

“Congratulations yes, you are so great.” Sherina muttered as she stroked the woman's back.

“Let's capture this moment with a photo together.” Sherina took off her embrace. He looked at Jessica who wiped away her tears. Sherina's lips are back in bloom.

“Yuk” Sherina took Jessica, for some reason this time Jessica did not refuse in the least. He just followed Sherina's wishes taking pictures with him.

On arrival outside the hall, Jessica was surprised that Sherina's driver came with a bouquet of flowers. This time Sherina gives a combined bouquet of several tulips, Jessica is amazed by the beauty of the flower.

“Thank you” Jessica said she received the flower, she smelled the scent for a while and then smiled broadly.

“Ohya, sir can you ask please photoiin us ?” sherina asked the driver who delivered the flowers.

“Of course miss”

Yes. 1 2 3 pcs....

Some of their photos captured there, Jessica's smile never separated from her lips since getting off the stage. Sherina who realized that was also happy, at least there was still her when Jessica was lonely.

Sherina have you managed to make me feel afraid of losing you ? I'm confused as to how to react to you, but I also don't want you to get hurt because of me or the people who want to harm you. Maybe I already love you ?

Various questions for Jessica popped up as she looked at Sherina who was eating ravenously in front of her. Unknowingly, Jessica's lips re-carved a smile staring at the girl.
