Part 20
Felicia immediately grabbed Jayden's hand to get into the train with the door open. It seemed that the inside of the train was so crowded that they had to push their bodies as hard as they could to get in, especially when Felicia and Jayden got into the public carriages.
The distance between Jayden and Felicia was completely erased. Jayden held his body so that Felicia's position could be more comfortable among the other passengers. Felicia's body was between Jayden's arms supported by the man. Making Felicia safer in her current position.
But what is not safe is Jayden's heart beating so fast especially in a position like this, facing very close to Felicia. In fact he was able to feel her breath on his arm. Although Felicia's head was lowered as if to avoid his gaze.
Hopefully, Felicia won't hear my heartbeat, Jayden thought.
Dammit. Why is my heart beating like this? His position ... God, thought Felicia.
They also have to st
"Ansel?" Felicia's forehead creased when she saw the bespectacled man walking closer to her. Ansel wore a lab coat complete with a nametag and visitor ID card like hers.The man's smile grew suddenly when he realized that the girl he was calling was really Felicia. "Why are you here?""Why the hell are you here?" Jayden asked straight away with an obvious distasteful look.Ansel flinched a little because he heard the tone of dislike from the man beside Felicia. "There are you too, Jay," he said as if he had just noticed the man's presence.Jayden snorted."What do you want, Jay?" Felicia raised an eyebrow, staring at Jayden, who looked uncomfortable."Nothing," Jayden replied briefly but he remained beside Felicia even though Ansel seemed to want to talk alone with the girl. Jayden won't let go."I'm here to help the lecturer with his research," answered Ansel who had just answered a question from Jayden."T
"It's your camera. Thanks. At most I'll ask for the data when I'm on campus," said Felicia, who returned the camera to Ansel."Yes, relax. I'll just move it to the flashdisk, so it's easy."Felicia nodded."Are you going home already?" asked Ansel who saw Harumi and Jayden have removed their lab coats."Yeah. Come here again later. For today it's over.""It is such a coincidence! I'm finished too. Let's go home together."Jayden looked displeased but again he was silent."Okay, let's go. Take the train, right?" asked Felicia.Ansel nodded. "Yes. I was going to ride a motorbike, but it seems like it's very far.""Just tell me you're afraid of being black because of the heat." Jayden muttered but Ansel and Felicia could hear it. While Harumi? She was silent with a disheveled face.Ansel chose to ignore Jayden's words. He was getting ready to go home too. They both exchanged the ID cards and got their student cards b
Felicia sat in the cafeteria which was quite busy that afternoon. She put her laptop bag on her right side then played with her cellphone. A few minutes ago, Ansel just notified that he was going to the canteen soon. So Felicia is waiting for him now.Not long after, Ansel came, he was seen walking towards Felicia and occasionally greeting students who passed him. Finally, Ansel sat in front of Felicia, making many female students stare at the two of them. Lots of vague whispers but what Felicia guessed was that they were talking about her.When she first started out with Ansel, Felicia's name became famous. Given that Ansel was a popular student even though she was new at that time. Felicia also feels happy to have a friendly and smart man like Ansel even though their relationship is not going well. And many are also happy with the breakup of Felicia and Ansel. For those people, they considered Felicia inappropriate for Ansel. Felicia was too ordinary when compared to
Part 24Finally that night Jayden joined Felicia and Ansel to study together, but Jayden seemed neglected because Felicia and Ansel seemed to be talking about something Jayden didn't understand. Of course, about their friends and their stories when they were dating."Are we studying or reminiscing?" Jayden muttered as he stared at his laptop screen displaying PPT slides for his proposal seminar session later.Ansel and Felicia just stared at Jayden for a while then went back to studying together again. Ansel also shared a lot of questions that the discussants would often ask at the proposal hearing later. Moreover, Ansel knows well the characters of the lecturers who discussed in Felicia's group during the proposal seminar session because the lecturers' names were already listed when the proposal seminar schedule came out."The point is, if you already know the purpose of your research, master the methods and know the picture of the final progress,
For a long time, Jayden and Ansel were silent with each other. Then minutes later their order came, killing the silence between them.Ansel enjoyed his cup of Americano and began to eat his sandwich slowly. But he felt annoyed when he felt Jayden's gaze continue to stab at him. He sighed and put down the sandwich he had just eaten one bite of. The taste of this sandwich was suddenly bland because of Jayden's gaze. "Okay, okay. Which part do you want to know about me and Felicia?" he asked finally, making Jayden's smile expand instantly."When did you go out with Felicia, why did you guys go out and why did you break up?" Jayden asked enthusiastically. As if he had just asked a question to a speaker at a campus seminar. He really likes to ask questions and put aside his shame. So because he is active, it makes him more familiar with on campus. There is an advantage in itself, because he doesn't feel lonely and strange at campus if many people know him. The disadva
Part 26"Fel!"Jayden called when he saw Felicia just entered the classroom and almost sat in the front seat. The girl turned to him. Jayden waved his hand for Felicia to where he was. The girl seemed to grunt but still approached Jayden. Made the smile on the man's face expand.Felicia put her bag next to Jayden and sat on her chair."Have you had breakfast yet?" whispered Jayden when Ms. Lastri had entered the classroom.Felicia only nodded slightly. Then after that they just watched the presentation that their friends gave. The presentation is mostly boring and sleepy. Much different from Jayden's presentation the other day.Even some students yawned openly and fell asleep. Ms. Lastri never made a big deal about it because the value she took was from the presentation of her students and the students who asked questions. If students are passive, don't blame her if their grades are not satisfactory.After the course, Jayden and F
Part 27Jayden closed his practicum dictate and sighed in a huff. He had absolutely no intention of studying. After all, the practicum material that will be tested tomorrow is already in his head. So even without studying he felt he could go through his practicum exam tomorrow. Yes, because every practicum he is always serious about doing it and most importantly he does it himself. Unlike other group mates who sometimes rely on one person in their group to do it while the rest is only in charge of taking notes, or even just cleaning the equipment.Because Jayden is the one who is relied on, he benefits the most because at least he knows every material in the practicum and how it is processed. Perhaps he was the most relaxed towards the practical exam in his final semester. Meanwhile other students seemed to study extra for their exams. Of course, because they are only some people who just look for pleasure when practicing, aka don't want to bother.Jayden even t
Part 28About two hours drive, Felicia and Ansel arrived at the research institute. Like Jayden's message, Felicia keeps her distance from Ansel very much. Somehow Felicia even complied with that absurd man's wish. Although she herself didn't intend to get close to Ansel. After all, it's just a coincidence that they can go together. And Felicia clearly never expected more.After exchanging their student cards for visitor ID cards, Ansel and Felicia went inside. Felicia and Ansel separated because Ansel had to go to the calibration building while Felicia continued with the extraction of her plants.In the laboratory, Felicia saw Andin and Satya filtering the maceration results of their extract that had been soaked for three days. Felicia replaces Satya to help Andin while the man prepares an evaporator to evaporate so that a thick extract can be obtained."You came really early, Fel," said Andin, who is known to be friendly to anyone. She usually loo
After Shanum and Abizar returned home, they immediately took a break to maintain their stamina for the long journey tomorrow night."Would you like to make coffee?" Shanum asked when she saw Abizar leaning back on her bed."No need, honey. After all, I can't sleep early. We're going to have a long trip tomorrow.""Yes, too." Shanum then went to his closet and took a suitcase to pack his clothes and Abizar's clothes."Aren't you tired, just packing right away?" asked Abizar, who left his place and intended to help his wife."Not yet sleepy yet, Mas. So let's just relax tomorrow."Abizar nodded in agreement. He also helped Shanum put their clothes into the suitcase. Abizar remembered something and immediately took it from his briefcase. "Oh, yes. Here." Instead, he took out a medium-sized paper bag to his wife."What is this, Mas?" asked Shanum who looked confused.
"Num. Are you busy?" asked Keanu, who suddenly opened the door to Shanum's room. Making Shanum a little surprised because he was writing a medical record book belonging to his last patient."Mas ih! Greetings first grandfather. Just shocking." Shanum even grumbled. Luckily his heart is very healthy.Keanu even smiled amused. "Assalamualaikum." He also complied with the wishes of his friend."Waalaikumsalam." Shanum finally smiled. "Why is that, Mas? I just finished practicing anyway.""Uh, yes, tomorrow you want to take a honeymoon leave. You must be busy packing, right?" asked Keanu."Not really. It's just relaxing, after all, it's night. What's wrong?""Let's go with Haidar," said Keanu, making Shanum's forehead frown."What's wrong with Mas Haidar?""Troubled. Just broke up. Pity the person is staring at the park e
Haidar sighed and stirred his macchiato latte blankly outside the cafeteria window on the tenth floor. From here he can see a view of the city of Jakarta and the bustle of traffic jams on the highway. He was downhearted after a long and tiring night's service. Plus the relationship with Meta is still stuck and there hasn't been any development. Moreover, to convince Meta's parents that he could become a good priest for Meta, would be very difficult. Not sure yet, he was rejected outright.What's wrong with being a widower, anyway? Just having been married before doesn't mean he's a bad priest right? If it is the way to part, the period must be forced? Everyone's life path is different. Of course, all of that has been outlined by fate, right?"What's wrong? Troubled?" Keanu's voice made Haidar raise his head and grunt harshly.Menstruation chuckled, "it's really easy for you to say.""Why? What's the problem? Here, M
Shanum blinked when she heard the alarm sound. He also opened his eyes and tried to focus his gaze. His head turned to Abizar who was still fast asleep beside him. He stretched out his hand to move Abizar's burly arms that hugged his waist.The clock was still four in the morning. Shanum is used to getting up at this time. Especially since getting married and often doing bed activities with her husband. Of course, she has to take a bath, plus prepare breakfast for her husband. Troublesome? Not. Because this is lifelong worship for Shanum. And he did it sincerely.The woman who was almost twenty-six years old then got up and opened the curtains of her house which showed a blue sky. He then went into the bathroom and cleaned his body. Only then did he wake Abizar."Hmmm. Five more minutes," said Abizar hoarsely as Shanum rubbed his head and called out his name as usual. The woman's way is very gentle to wake her husband. Shanum never
One month after the wedding of Shanum and Abizar, they haven't gone on their honeymoon yet because of limited time off. Even though Abizar is the owner of the hospital where he works, Shanum doesn't want to be arbitrary with the power that her husband's family has. He still follows the existing regulations in the hospital including leave allowances and a schedule of leave that must take turns with other doctors.At first, Shanum was no longer interested in her honeymoon. After all, he was always with Abizar. They've done it often. For him, the honeymoon is only a difference in place when he 'does' what a newlywed usually does.As Shanum guessed, 'Abizar is strong'. She was overwhelmed by it. Even though he is lucky that he has about seven days off in a month, Abizar will stop doing it. Although in the end the man was grumpy on his own and clung to her.Tonight, Shanum has finished cooking the chicken opor and Balado potatoes accordi
Shanum looked at the screen of his cellphone which displayed a test pack image with two red lines on it. Also, the gratitude caption was written by Tiara. After two months of his marriage, his wife Keanu became pregnant immediately. Making Shanum happy to hear the news."Mas. Look. Tiara is already pregnant. Alhamdulillah," said Shanum with a smile that was clearly printed on her lips.Abizar smiled and then rubbed the top of his wife's head gently. "Later you will be so dear. We will love our grandchildren to our parents," he said with a meaningful smile.Shanum pursed her lips. "Yes, Mas. Yes, let's sleep. Tomorrow you go to work in the morning, right?"Abizar grabbed Shanum's hand so that the woman came closer to him and hugged him from behind. "Sorry, because I'm so busy because the surgery schedule is getting busy."Shanum smiled understandingly. Since a month after getting
Upon the return of Shanum and Abizar from Solo. They are getting busy with their wedding preparations again.Jasmine invited Shanum to go to a salon to get her face and body treated. Shanum feels like being with his own mother. Jasmine looks very fond of him like his mother used to love her."You are already beautiful. But you still need care, especially if you will become a wife. You know that actors are even more creepy. So you have to keep Abizar's eyes fixed on you," Jasmine said reminding her when she and Shanum were both scrubbing her whole body in a well-known salon. The massages on her body felt comfortable and immediately calmed their minds."Yes, Mom." Shanum swallowed his own saliva at the word someone who wants another husband. Even though she really believed that Abizar could not be like that."Abizar is exactly his daddy. They are both loyal but we don't know in the future. Mommy hopes that Abizar can
After a long process and a bit of the usual fuss finally, it will pay off with a wedding party that has been prepared in such a way. And immediately next week is the day Shanum has been waiting for. Namely his marriage to Abizar.Invitations have also been distributed, the building has also been ordered for food. Seserahan has been ordered. Just prepare yourself.There is one last wish of Shanum to Abizar before their marriage takes place. Namely visiting his father's grave - Yudha, as well as asking for blessings for the smooth running of their marriage later. It has been a long time since Shanum went to Solo to visit his father's grave, even though after every prayer, Shanum never forgot the prayer for his late father, Mother, and Mas Haikal.So today, Shanum and Abizar go to Solo. To shorten the time and effort, they departed by plane. Jasmine and Januar let out a smile for their two children. They also understood that Shanum mus
"Mom. Dad." Abizar hugged his parents when they met at the station. "How was the trip?""It's smooth. It's been a long time since I took the train," said Jasmine as she tucked her hair out of her headscarf. "Shanum. Come here, dear." She stretched out his hand on Shanum.Shanum smiled shyly and walked over to Jasmine and hugged her. "How are you, mom?""Alhamdulillah, it's fine. How do you guys prepare for the wedding? What's missing?" asked Jasmine, who looked enthusiastic."Let's go to the car first, mom. We'll tell you on the road. Or want to stop by for dinner first?" asked Abizar, dragging his parents' suitcase."You can. Mommy is also hungry. Mommy just wants traditional food. I think eating chicken penyet is good. I'm feeling dizzy." Jasmine held her own head."How can I not be dizzy. Every day I can't wait to come here and prepare for her son's wedding," said Januar, who was
