World Angel
Chapter 3

The medicine-smelling white room looked calm, there was not much noise there as there was a patient resting in one of the chambers.

The middle-aged woman seemed to be busy with her job writing something in her workbook. He suddenly cleared his throat which felt dry. It would have been dangerous if the UKS keeper had fallen ill, so he immediately took a green pill to treat his strep throat.

Cklek!

The sound of the door opening distracted her, standing a tan-skinned woman with round glasses framing her sweet face. Melisa smiles at the UKS guard and asks permission to enter. In his hand was a plastic bag containing a package of food.

“Oh, just log in deck,” said the guard kindly.

Melisa smiled thankfully. He immediately went to Jinan who was still asleep. The lecture hours were over, and his best friend was still unconscious too. Patiently he waited, killing time by reading a mystery anthology book titled ‘Something in The Dark’.

Sometimes he smiled, but not infrequently just felt the fur of his back standing. The horror genre book by the selected authors of the race event succeeded in making Melisa dissolve in the story. Some are even very creepy because he also imagined the taste of being the main character who was surprised by the sighting of the pocong.

“Ngh..”

Hearing the slow whimper from her friend, Melisa immediately closed her book and focused on Jinan. Slowly the eyelids that wrapped the honey chocolate inside opened. The woman slightly blinked her eyes to receive the bright light entering the retina of her eye.

“Jinan?” call Melisa to wake Jinan up if she's by her side.

“Ukhti? Why here?”jinan asked confusedly.

He knows that they are currently in the UKS, and he can also guess what happened. It was just that he did not understand why his best friend was in that room as well. Shouldn't he be following the class. Or possibly...

“Tuition hours are over, we have made a sick absence for Jinan,” Melisa replied explaining. Jinan sighed hearing that, today he skipped two courses.

“Lisa know there is a lot to talk about, but Jinan ate first continue to take medicine,” Melisa said again. His right hand moved touching Jinan's forehead. “Have come down.”

Jinan did not argue, he received a plastic bag that Melisa proffered. Nasi uduk complete with vegetables and side dishes his favorite. The woman smiled.

“Syukran, ukhti,” he said slowly with gratitude.

Not everyone can be as lucky as he gets a friend who is very considerate and understanding. And even more fortunate, he got not one but five equally good friends. They are even willing to sacrifice for the sake of him who is often troublesome.

“Looked to know this was not the right time, but Jinan realized why Rini was being so hard?” asked Melisa who only answered a nod.

“Jinan, we know it is not good to be in a quiet place with the opposite sex even without bad intentions. We know Jinan well, God willing Jinan will not do anything that Allah forbids. But we were worried if someone else would have bad intentions,” Melisa raised her hand, not letting Jinan who wanted to pause her speech.

“Not mean Melisa told us to be prejudiced, we just asked to be careful. Rini doesn't want what happened to Mutia to happen to Jinan. Even though we know Mutia did nothing wrong, the other person's view was different. To prevent that, we have agreed to tell each other if there is a brother who wants to talk alone, right?

“Not without reason we make that promise, but to keep ourselves from the many slanders in the end times. Going with the men until they have to be rainy and sick like this, is it not natural for us, especially Rini who greatly admires you to feel worried?”

Jinan was silent, even the UKS guard woman was silent to hear the advice conveyed patiently and gently to touch the hearts of his listeners.

Melisa is a reliable person for this business, but she does not like to often advise others because she feels she is still a lot of alpha in this life.

Only to his close friends only he dared to speak firmly but also gently at the same time. Jinan is lucky to have such a loving friend as Melisa.

“Jinan apologizes for worrying you,” said Jinan slowly.

“Tau have to apologize equally who's out there?” asked Melisa softly.

Only a snort answered that question. Jinan should have known that no one would leave each other's friends in a difficult time. The honey-eyed woman smiled with teary eyes.

“Eh? Don't cry. Your heart is, too soft,” exclaimed Melisa chuckling.

Jinan smiled in her fists. “You how else? Ukhti Melisa who made Jinan cry.”

“Lah? Why is Melisa to blame? Blame it hard head, likes to keep everything by yourself,” said Melisa reminded if the collapse of Jinan because she was too forced and did not want to bother them.

“Jinan won't bother you.”

Melisa again grunted. “Beh, we live socially, shaliha! Not living alone. That's the point of having a friend like Melisa,”.

Jinan laughed, she wiped her tears that melted from being moved. Though this was not the first time he felt the warmth of his friends, but still he felt full and shed tears.

After he finished his meal and took the medicine given by the UKS guard woman, they finally came out of the room after paying for administration.

“Loh? Where are they?” jinan asked confused to see the front page of UKS looks empty, not visible nose of his friends.

Melisa nudged Jinan on the shoulder, showing the clock on her phone which was already at 1pm. “Definitely in prayer mosque Dzuhur.”

With light steps they walked to the mosque to perform the prayer of Dzuhur pilgrims there. Adhan reverberated shortly after, flocked UMSU students into the mosque to perform prayers.

The male shaf looks full of many students who pray together, while the female shaf is only half filled because of the number of students lining the mosque.

Unlike the 6 female students majoring in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) who always bring a soul anywhere, they are in the forefront of women. Carry out the Divine call solemnly’ and humble before the Supreme Being.

“How so? Feel better?” ask Dila as soon as the sixth finished praying. Currently they were sitting together on the terrace of the spacious mosque.

“Alhamdulillah, already feel good. Sorry to trouble you guys,” Jinan said smiling. His eyes glanced at Rini who pretended not to care.

“Aalhamdulillah's. Next time it's better said at the beginning. After all in the end apologize too,” said Yani. Women who come from the Mandailing area this Christmas are often talking directly without much filtering first.

“Well, that nice sentence,” chirped Rini.

Jinan whining. “Aaa, Jinan is sorry. Sorry dong.”

Rini grunts. “That fever is a rebuke of God for breaking a promise, you know?! His sentence is still light.”

Jinan manyun's. He continued to whine apologizing to his five friends because again stubbornness makes them bother.

“Eh, by the way ... who brought Jinan to UKS?”

The five pairs of eyes simultaneously averted their eyes from Jinan's questioning gaze. There is something more frenzied than he who fainted in class, but a foreign youth who volunteered to hold Jinan ala bridal style to UKS.

Wh who? They also did not know the man who claimed to be a member of the UKS officer.

Seriate...
