From a distance, a young man smiling to find Jenni, who was smiling and occasionally laughed out loud with her only friend who was closest to the girl.
For this young man, Jenni's joy and happiness are the most important in his life.
Honestly, he wanted to get Jenni's heart to belong to him; it's just that so far, he hasn't felt like that. Even what he found recently was Jenni rejected one of the attempts he made.
"Jen!" Shrieked, the young man suddenly approaching Jenni, who was laughing with Edward in the park, still in the campus environment.
The girl turned her head at him, and then he could see a hint of nervousness from the look on her face.
Michael gives a thin smile to that girl; he felt a little disappointed with the expression of her.
'Many times, he told himself to control his mood.'
"Oh ... Ye ..- yes sir, what's wrong?" Jenni asked, then responding to the young man who was none other than the lecturer.
The young man just smiled slightly at Jenni and shook his head slowly, as if he said that he only called Jenni just to make sure that the girl still responded to him, even though Michael realized that Jenni was not like the girl who knew before he confessed his feelings to her.
"Then can Edward and I go?" Jenny's permission to Michael.
Honestly, he didn't want Jenni to stay away from him. It's just that he didn't have the authority over it; mostly, he didn't have any conversation material that could make it a topic.
Inevitably Michael just nodded his head and told Edward to take good care of Jenni.
Suddenly Edward frowned in seconds, and soon he only nodded his head slowly.
He did not want to linger dissolved in a position where he realized that Jenni did not like his presence there.
After that, Jenni and Edward left Michael in solitude.
The young man to be repeatedly sighing and feeling a very tight feeling in his chest.
"It looks like Jenni doesn't like me," Michael said weakly, lowering his head.
He thought that his dreams of himself and that girl would come true. But the reality, Jenni drifts away from him.
Looks like the old fantasies about it he should get rid of slowly and go back to trying to recover the situation that seems awkward.
It would be better if he did not have Jenni, but the relationship between them was better than he did not get anything. He did not want his relationship with Jenni to get worse if it continued like this.
...
...
"Jen, I feel strange with Mr. Michael. Do you feel like me too?" Edward asked Jenni.
Jenni sighed softly and shrugged her shoulders weakly.
Honestly, she didn't want to lie to her friend, Edward. It's just that she was confused about where to start the conversation.
"If you look at your behavior, I think you are hiding something from me," said Edward at last.
Jenni took a lot of breath and exhaled slowly before inviting Edward to sit in one of the quiet parks around the campus.
"So?" asked Edward after the two of them sat down facing each other.
Jenni's eye to be closed for a moment. Before she started the story in the beginning, she was cold to Mr. Michael.
Edwards's eyes rounded a little when he heard that Jenni said that the young man, who was none other than Mr. Michael, had told her his feelings. Jenni thought Michael was paying attention to her without the intention or limitation of siblings. But it's not like that. Michael has feelings for her.
Indeed, someone's feelings cannot be that called a fault because, after all, it is everyone's right.
"I feel sorry for him ... he's a nice young man, but I can't reply the feeling to him," said Jenni at last, lowering her head.
Edward, who saw her, immediately rubbed Jenni's shoulder and told her that he was not wrong. Love can't force, right?
The proof is, in a short time, Jenni and Daniel have become lovers, right?
Jenni nodded her head and confirmed what Edward said. Indeed, so far, her best friend has always been able to understand her position, for that Jenni did not hesitate to express her grievances to Edward.
"Thank you for listening to me," said Jenni, staring intently at Edward, who nodded and smiled back to her.
"Next time you have to eat together with my lover too, that way, you can judge him well about him," said Jenni.
Edward laughed reflex and ruffled Jenni's hair slowly.
"Ok, you manage it. I'll follow your wishes," said Edward with his chuckle.
***
The hours have changed to be night. Jenni, who had just lain down on the bed, suddenly heard the sound of an incoming message on her cellphone.
Reflexively her hand grabbed her cellphone. She was quite enthusiastic this time because she thought that Daniel would send the message, considering that almost all day long, Daniel had not sent messages or called her.
"Unknown number?"
Jenni was silent for a moment, frowning in confusion, and after that, she tried to open the message.
[Miss, sorry I disturbed your activities; I am Jack, Mr. Daniel's secretary, can you help me contact Mr. Daniel? It seems that he is in a bad state, I am afraid he is sick, All-time Mr. Daniel has been asking me for a job without stopping, even he doesn't rest one bit]
Instantly Jenni perfectly rounded her eyes and spontaneously sat down.
'What does this mean? Isn't it already time ...- '
Jenni paused her sentence staring at the clock on the wall in her room.
"Ten! Ten o'clock?!, and Daniel's still in the office?"
That exactly surprised Jenni; especially Jack said that Daniel did not rest at all.
Has he eaten?
"Ugh ... you!"
Jenni's fingers now immediately press the one button directly connected to Daniel, the lover.
This time Jenni was quite nervous about it because Daniel didn't pick up the phone.
Daniel is not usually like this!
What's wrong with him?
That is what is now appearing in her head. Unconsciously she bites her nails one by one.
There was a feeling of tightness that he felt increasingly envelop his chest.
"Niel, you don't want to pick up my phone?" Jenni grumbled to the phone, which Daniel did not pick up.
Already on the fifth call that Jenni tried to make. But the results are still the same.
With a little hesitation, Jenni gave a message to Daniel's previous secretary, who was none other than Jack, asking about her boyfriend.
Jenni did not get a reply from Jack directly but waited for a few minutes.
(Sound ringtone of the phone)
Thump!
"Gosh, Daniel!" Screamed Jenni loud enough in her room.
