Who wins my heart?

This week Rania prepared materials for the final exam, she filled her time by practicing questions and understanding the material, especially Physics and Mathematics, subjects that were a scourge for Rania.

"Ouch why do they make such complicated formulas, when you grow up all you need is addition and subtraction" Rania grumbled.

"Don't force it if you're tired, take it easy, if you grumble like that, will you be able to understand the lessons?" said Ozi as he passed Rania's room.

Rania turned her head and saw her brother who was already looking neat, as if he was about to leave the house.

"Sis! Can I have some snacks?" Rania shouted.

"What, let's talk outside, I can't hear you," Ozi replied from outside.

Rania saw that Ozi had already put on his shoes.

"Where are you going first?" Rania asked.

"To a friend's house, he just opened a used but branded shoe shop."

"Can I come with you? Nia is bored at home."

"After the shop we're going home for coffee, there's a lot of cigarette smoke."

"It's okay, I can take a gojek if I want to go home first, right?" Rania whined.

"It's seven o'clock, I have to be home by nine"

Rania immediately ran to her room to get ready, even her hair was only messed up, and had time to dress up a little.

Rania followed her brother who was waiting on the terrace, Ozi saw Rania's appearance from top to bottom.

With her oversized hoodie, culottes jeans, and nike shoes.

"Unusual? Are you sure that with clothes like that, it's not your style?"

"The important thing is to go fast," Rania replied while sitting on the back seat of her brother's motorcycle.

Rania and her brother walked accepting the cool night breeze that hit their faces, not far enough turned out to be the place they were going, Ozi parked his motorcycle.

Nia took off her hairpin and let her hair down. They went inside.

Rania saw a partially empty shoe rack, she walked along the rack.

"Nia, come here," called Ozi.

Rania immediately approached her sister, there were also several men who were the same age as her sister who were also gathering, looking at Rania kindly.

"Yes, why?" asked Rania.

"Just sit down if you're tired, there's a fan" said one of her brother's friends.

"Understandably, the shop has just opened, so the air conditioner hasn't been installed yet," continued another.

"Yes, it's okay," replied Rania.

Rania returned to the shoe rack, it seemed that the shoes here were indeed for size 40.

"Nia, I'll go to the warehouse first, you wait here," Ozi shouted.

"Okay."

After exploring all the shelves, Rania started to sweat a little, she lifted her long hair to wipe her wet nape.

While walking towards the table that seemed to be the cashier, Rania put her hair in a jedai bun. Sitting down for a breath of fresh air.

Someone noticed Rania from behind the shoe rack.

"Who is that?" the person asked suddenly, making Rania's heart stop beating for a moment.

Rania turned her head towards the source of the voice, "Ni-"

"Uh there's Fiza here too, didn't you say you wanted to bring your sister too?" Ozi asked his friend.

"She wants to come, she wants to hunt for shoes too for the first seller she said"

Rania was still transfixed by this situation, Fiza looked at Rania sharply.

"Duh shit, why would I meet him if I look like this" Rania grumbled.

"Ozi also brought his sister, let's get acquainted," they teased.

"Hi, Fiza," Ozi said casually.

Rania widened her eyes. Was Rania not so important that Fiza didn't recognize her?

"Rania," he replied.

"Yes, let's continue drinking coffee, you said you weren't coming, then lock up the shop," Akbar said to his sister.

"I'm coming," Fiza replied quickly.

"You're weird too."

Rania walked out of the shop with a confused mind.

She didn't know how to react.

"Should I just go home?" she muttered.

Just as she was about to tell her brother, someone suddenly called.

"What's up, ma'am," Ozi said to the person on the other end of the line.

"Nia's brother wants to go home."

"But mama and papa aren't home, the neighborhood mother died, so they're at the neighborhood house mourning."

"Huh? Innalillahi"

"I'll take you home, come on"

"No way! Scared, I want to come with you?" she said.

"There's a lot of cigarette smoke, are you okay?"

Rania sighed, she couldn't possibly bother Siska at this time of night to ask her out.

"Just indoors, bro ," Fiza said in the middle of the siblings' argument.

Rania and Ozi turned to Fiza.

"Yes, if it's in a café that's a bit far from one table to another, so we don't get cigarette smoke," Akbar continued.

"If you don't mind, I'll come," Ozi replied.

Rania felt awkward for a moment, this situation happened because of her.

They headed to the cafe that Fiza suggested.

"Why are you acting weird, do you have a crush on Fiza?" Ozi teased while driving.

"No, I'll tell you later when I get to Rania's house."

Arriving at the cafe, they ordered drinks and sat down while chatting about the shop that turned out to be the business they opened together, while Rania just played with her cellphone, Jena and Siska's chats were not replied to by them, I don't know what was going on at the moment.

"Nia go to the toilet first," Rania whispered.

Rania exhaled her breath there and looked at herself in the reflection of the mirror, she saw herself beautiful, as usual, her confidence was excessive.

"Doesn't he know, or is he unaware of my existence all this time? Even though he often steals glances at me," Rania grumbled in a low voice.

She put her hair up in a random bun, she already didn't care about her appearance in front of Fiza, because Fiza herself didn't seem to care either.

Rania returned to her seat, now it was her sister who saw Rania's hair.

"Your hair," she scolded.

"Leave it alone, what's wrong?"

"Usually the most sensitive is about the shape of the hair"

"Who cares about the shape of Nia's hair now?" Rania retorted.

Ozi glanced at her with an astonished look, the problem was that Rania was a woman who was obsessed with the condition of her hair, it had to look on point regardless of the circumstances, but why was she now ruffling her hair like a lion, especially being in a public place like this.

Rania was now more relaxed with herself, she didn't care at all about Fiza, her crush who was sitting in front of her.

"Eh you guys are the same age, how old are you Nia?" Akbar asked. Opening the conversation for Rania and Fiza to talk.

"Eighteen years old."

"Wow, the same age, where did you go to school?"

Rania glanced at Fiza, then answered.

"Tunas Bakti High School," she said in a depressed tone.

"You go there too, right?" now her sister was confused.

Ozi also glanced at Rania. Rania's expression looked relaxed, even though her heart was racing.

"I've seen her, but I don't think she knows me," Fiza said.

Making Rania choke on the ice she was drinking.

"Really, this person is completely beyond reason," Rania thought.

They stared at each other. Now Rania glanced at the plaster that Fiza was still wearing.

"That plaster doesn't seem worth using, should I change it again?" replied Rania, now the atmosphere became heated.

"Wow, you already know each other, but why have you been silent from earlier" said Akbar and the others.

"Are you okay?" asked Ozi worried, because he knew his sister was never used to hanging out with men, let alone talking like that.

"I know him hehe, just not familiar" said Rania while looking at Fiza.
