Chapter II

After putting on her clothes, Sofia heard the sound of her phone ringing. There's an incoming call. When I looked, it was from Ryan. Sofia answered the phone. With pleasure he and Ryan chatted long and wide, like they were looking for a rectangular area.

Ryan and Sofia have been lovers since they first met in high school. Yeah, they've been together since 10th grade. Ryan is a good man and good manners to everyone, including women. He was naughty like any other man in this day and age. Good thing, he just likes the usual prank on Sofia. His hobby is just smoking.

In addition, Ryan also appreciates what Sofia wants. That is, the guy should not wear earrings, bracelets, necklaces, or tattoos. Ryan doesn't like all of that. That's the point Sofia wants, after she gets the experience of having a super naughty lover during junior high.

The past, let it pass. And Sofia was used to remembering all that. Because he has a new replacement.

But Sofia gets a sad story. Ryan has to go with his family to Jakarta. His father had a job there, and all his family had to go, including Ryan.

That is, until graduation, Sofia and Ryan will never meet again. Yes, they both separated. Although it is still an island, only different provinces. Sofia is still in West Java, while Ryan is already in DKI Jakarta.

"Can't you be left alone?" sofia asked with an increasingly sad face.

"Cannot. I don't want to come. Actually I was forced" replied Ryan softly.

Whether she realized it or not, Sofia's eyes shed tears of tears. Run two drops on his right and left cheeks.

Sofia will feel alone in 2 days. Ryan's departure to the world of Jakarta will be done in 2 days. Really sad of course. Ryan doesn't want to leave Sofia. But how else. He was forced, and if he did not participate, he could have participated in the nomination of an ungodly child in Indonesia. Or even the world.

Ryan could feel Sofia's sadness across the street. He told Sofia, "Him calm! We'll be in 3rd grade, I'll be home from UN."

Hearing that, Sofia got a little relieved. He wiped his tears quickly and asked to make sure, "Right, you're going home from UN?"

"God willing, I will go home. Wait for my return."

"Yes. I will always wait for your return to this city of flowers."

"Yes. You will not be Siti Nurbaya. I assure. I'm coming home, you're gonna be my future wife."

Sofia smiled faintly at the words. Ryan and I say goodbye to each other on the phone. And both of them said the closing greeting.

After chatting with Ryan, Sofia came back sad. He will feel very sad. Because he has not many friends. But it made him feel quite happy. It's just that, for him if Ryan isn't around, he feels there's still less.

...***...

That night, Sofia ate very slowly. He chews, swallows, and petrifies again. That's next. In fact, dinner this time his favorite vegetable food, kare. But, it's not like it's usually like this. Usually if you eat her favorite food, Sofia eats very greedy and extra fast.

Sofia was a little surprised to hear that. He replied in a fairly limp voice, "Not that, Brother. Just a little appetite."

"Not hungry?" reyhan asked as well.

Hearing her sister's question, Sofia answered with a nod and said, "Yes. I'm not hungry yet."

"Yes, eat abis salat isya' if that's it."

"No. I've already eaten five of these spoons."

Reyhan and Salma looked at each other. Reyhan sighed and shook his head while continuing to eat.

Sofia continued eating, albeit for a very long time. But finally, dinner too. He also brought his dishes to the kitchen. And he washed it himself. Because it looks like Bi Zizah is washing clothes with a washing machine. After that he had to iron the clothes he had dried earlier this afternoon.

When she was going back upstairs, Sofia saw that Salma was watching TV. He approached Salma with a slight nervous feeling. In fact, his intention was to confide in him who would be left by Ryan until the UN time is finished later.

Sofia approached Salma and asked when she was near the hijab-wearing woman, "Salma's sister! Mm...Sofia wants...curhat can be a moment?"

Salma looked at her sister-in-law with a smile and a nod of her head. Sofia was seated to the left of Salma. After being silent for a few seconds, Sofia told him everything. He told me in detail from A to Z.

After telling the story, Salma also responded, "Yes you let him go. Anyway, Ryan himself said that he would return after the UN later, right?!"

"Yes. But, later Sofia felt a lack of friends. Not a friend, but this is a lover" Sofia said.

"Yes, Brother knows. But you have to be mature. You are not alone. You'll have friends at home, just like your other friends at school."

Sofia understood what Salma meant. And he accepted that too. Must be the best for this. Sofia thanked him and headed upstairs again to return to her room.

Arriving at the room, Sofia sees a photo of herself with Ryan that she displays on the frame she hangs on the wall of her room. Looking at the photo, Sofia started to smile broadly again.

He took the frame and said, "What are you doing away. There's this photo, it can be your replacement by my side as long as you go far."
