5 -Fake Hope
The next day, Isya tried to call Luq to persuaded him. Isya contacted Luq to persuade him back. After the call connected, Isya said, "Bie .. Don't sulk anymore. I apologize very much. I accidentally silenced the phone. I promise I will not silence the phone again. Please, darling." "All right darling. I also do not want to fight with you again." Said Luq, giving in. "Yey .. I love you." Isya said happily. Her heart was overjoyed when Luq was no longer sulking with her. "So?" Asked Fika who had been watching Isya. "He's not sulking with me anymore." Isya replied happily. "That's good. I guess he won't sulk with you for long." Said Fika. Isya just smiled at Fika as a sign of agreeing with Fika's statement. After breakfast, Isya returned to her house.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A week later, Isya got a message from Luq saying that he would arrive at the bus station tomorrow morning. Luq asked Isya to meet him tomorrow morning. Then Isya went to Fika's house to invite her to accompany her to the bus station. "Fika, can you accompany me to the bus station tomorrow? Luq wants to see me there tomorrow." Isya asked. Fika thought for a moment. 'Hmm. If Luq is there, Syed must be there too. If I come, I will definitely be able to meet him. ' Fika hissed. She did not want to ask Isya about Syed, because she did not want Isya to suspect something. "FIKA." Isya shouted when she saw Fika daydreaming without answering her question. Fika was startled by Isya's screams and asked, "Why did you do that? Why are you screaming?" "You are daydreaming. Did you hear my question or not?" Isya asked, confused. "Erkk .. Which question is it?" Fika asked. "I asked. Can you accompany me to the bus station tomorrow?." Isya repeated her question. "Ouhh .. About that.. Okay. I will accompany you tomorrow." Fika replied.
The next day, Luq waited for Isya's presence at the bus station. A few minutes after waiting, Luq saw Isya and Fika looking for him. Luq raised his hand so that they were aware of his presence. Isya smiled after seeing Luq and walked towards him. "Hi, babe. Here you are. I've been searching for you in about 15 minutes." Said Isya. "Why don't you just call me?" Luq asked, puzzled. "I forgot." Isya replied shortly. "You are always forgotten." Luq said while laughting. Meanwhile, Fika is looking for Syed. But it was empty because Syed was not there. Her heart misses Syed and wants to meet him. 'Why did Syed not participate today?' Said Fika's heart. Luq realized Fika's slightly empty condition, asked, "Why with you ?? You look so sad." Fika is shocked by Luq's question, but he wisely controls the reaction on his face. "Nothing. I'm okay." Replied Fika, trying to control the ripples on her face.
Isya, who also saw, immediately found out the cause of the sadness on Fika's face. "You are sad because Syed is not here, right?" Isya asked, cynically. "It has nothing to do with him.. I'm okay." Replied Fika, angry. Isya just looked cynically at Fika while Luq just laughed at their behavior. For them, Fika is too egoistic to admit her feelings. "Guys.. How about we go watching the movie in cinema? I heard there's new movies has been released last month." Luq asked to calm the slightly tense atmosphere. "Let's go." Isya replied, excited. She have not watched a movie with her lover for a long time. However, Fika still seems to be thinking. 'If I follow with them to go to the movies, I will be alone. But, if I do not follow them, I will be alone too. 'Thought Fika. "Fika? What is your answer?" Isya asked. "I'm okay. But, I'm sure I'm alone." Fika replied, a little sad.
"You will not be alone. We will look together." Luq replied, trying to persuade Fika to join them. "Or do you want me to call your lover?" Isya asked, teasing. "Who is my lover? As far as I know, I do not have a lover." Fika asked, confused. "Isn't Syed your lover?" Luq asked, also teasing. "He's not my lover." Fika was angry. Then Isya and Luq laughed at Fika. "Okay. I'll join you." Said Fika. After discussed, they decided to watch Fast and Furious 4 because they were not interested in watching love movies.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the movie, they stopped at a cafe for dinner before returning to their respective homes. At first, the situation was a bit quiet because no one wanted to break the silence. After the waiter took their order, Luq started their conversation because he was bored with such a quiet atmosphere. "The movie was the best, right?" Luq said to them. "Yep. Thanks dear for taking us to watch movies." Said Isya. "Isya was right. Thank you for taking us." Said Fika. "Haha .. That's not a big deal." Luq said, humbly. "But, if Syed, Amir and Aiman are there, it must be more fun, isn't it? Especially with Aiman's tumultuous behavior." Isya gave her opinion. "It's okay. Next time, we'll watch a horror movie with them." Replied Luq. After their order arrived, they returned quietly to enjoy their meal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After eating, they returned to their respective homes. Fika cleaned herself and went into her room to sleep. However, just as she was about to fall asleep, suddenly her phone rang indicating that someone was calling her. Fika saw her contact name and displayed Syed's name on her phone. Fika was overly excited by the call, then immediately picked up the call. "Hello .." Fika said. "Hello too." Syed replied. Fika felt very happy after hearing Syed's melodious voice. "Why did you call me?" Fika asked. "Why? Do you not like me to call you?" Syed asked. "Not so. I'm just surprised." Said Fika. "Hehe. I called you because I want to apologize." Syed said. "Why did you apologize? Did you do something wrong to me?" Fika asked confused. "Luq told me, you are looking for me. So I want to apologize for not being able to join you guys this afternoon." Syed asked. "Erk .. I'm not looking for you either." Told Fika. Although, to be honest, Fika is looking for Syed, but she is ashamed to admit. Syed who heard Fika's words, his heart was a little hurt. He really expects Fika to find him.
"But, since you said this, I want to ask, why did you not join us just now?" Fika asked. "I worked this afternoon and just got home now. So, I could not attend this afternoon." Told Syed. "Ahhh. I see. It's okay. Next time, you can join us. Maybe, we will watch a horror movie." Asked Fika. "Wow. I'm really interested in horror movies." Syed replied, excited. Fika laughed hearing Syed's cute tone of voice. In Fika opinion, everything about Syed are really cute. "What did you all do this afternoon?" Syed asked curiously. "We watched Fast and Furious 4. After that, we went to dinner at a nearby cafe." Told Fika. After 1 hour of talking, Fika felt her eyes getting heavier. Then she said, "Syed .. I'm sleepy. I want to go to bed now." "Ouh. If so, I'll be off first. Good night." Syed said and ended their conversation. That night, Fika sleep while dreamed about her and Syed went to a romantic dinner date.
