"Sorry, Brother. Is there anything I can help you with? I don't know what's wrong, my brother invited me here. At first, I couldn't read the password that Brother sent through Bima for me. If there wasn't Malika in my room, I sure wouldn't have come to this place to see my brother."

"You're not the one I invited actually. That's for Malika. Several times I've met that girl somewhere but when Bimo said that he gave you the wrong letter, then I came here to confirm the misinformation committed by our brother."

 Anjani nodded her head. In her heart she was disappointed to hear what Erlangga said to her.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know that the letter was for Malika because it was  Bimo who gave it to me.”

 Erlangga pursed his lips then he walked away leaving Anjani in his place. Anjani, who felt that Malika's arrival would only lead to a very unpleasant event, finally sat under the sapodilla tree that lined the edge of the garden. A place that Anjani always uses to spend time when she feels homesick for her parents. She looked up at the sky then smiled bitterly as if she was laughing at herself. Sh had known Erlangga for a long time and had not had the chance to greet the man, but Malika, who had just come to the place, actually got more attention than the man who had been the center of attention of the girls at the Seputih Hati hermitage.

"I have to sincerely accept the fact that you are more loved by Erlangga than I am by Malika. I will try to be patient and heartened to accept this harsh reality. I did everything because Mr. Wijaya always gave lessons about being sincere in accepting very heavy exams that were not in accordance with what we wanted. yes even though it hurts a lot."

 Anjani was still sitting in her position when someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind. She tried not to turn around. There was a sense of concern that Erlangga suddenly came and said a more spicy sentence for her. She is also afraid that Malika will come and will make her heart more restless.

“Does my arrival bother you? I just wanted to let you know that earlier I made a mistake by giving the paper that I should have given to the new girl. Not to you. I apologize for my carelessness.”

Anjani turned and saw the man who was now smiling at her.

“Brother there is no need to apologize. Even without apologizing, I have forgiven. Confused. I know a woman like me doesn't deserve to be given a mysterious message like the one Erlangga gave me. But stupidly I didn't ask my sister when my sister gave me the letter. I should have been more vigilant because there's no way Bimo or Erlangga have an interest in a simple girl like me, right?”

 Bhima shook his head. In his heart he cursed his cowardice. Falling in love with Anjani but she doesn't have the courage to express it at all. Especially when Erlangga left him a letter to give to the girl in room 11 a. 11 a as long as Bimo knows that the occupant of the room is Anjani. He never thought that at this time Anjani was sleeping alone with a new girl who was accepted by his father as a student without being selected by other friends.

 Anjani and Bimo were silent. They are busy with their own thoughts. Neither of them took the initiative to leave the place.

"Is…."

 "Older brother . . . ."

 Anjani and Bimo said their respective sentences at the same time so that they looked at each other and laughed together. They never thought that they would say the sentence at the same time as before.

"You go first"

 Anjani shook her head. She didn't have the courage at all to get ahead of her teacher's child of god to reveal the words she had been hiding for so long.

"Brother first."

"Just you"

Anjani shook her head once again. As a woman she absolutely does not want to disobey any man by getting ahead of anything. Not because they are not brave but rather to respect their position as leaders for women.

Bima shook his head with a smile, occasionally glancing at Anjani who was sitting next to him who was shy to look at him. Several times he tried to express the heart that he had been hiding to Anjani, but several times Bima shook his head and squeezed his hands.

They looked embarrassed and could not find the words to make them separate from the place.

"If you don't have anything to talk about and express what you really want to say, allow me to say something to you."

"Please, ."

 Bima nodded, then he looked at Anjani which still has its position. lowered his head without intending to look at himself at all.

"Father said there was a new girl who came to this hermitage."

 Anjali nodded. In her heart she laughed at Bima's words, which seemed only for me to flower her lips. Bima actually already knew the position of the angel in his room, but in Anjani's opinion. Bima just wanted them not to be busy with each other's thoughts.

"Actually, you've seen it before, right? When me and him just went from the laundry room to the room. If you want to know Malika's reaction when you see you and Erlangga, I'm sure everyone will think twice about teasing the girl. Malika really looks like a frightened person. At first I never thought that he had such a bitter experience in his life. He told me everything and I wished I wouldn't spill anything with these lips of mine. if Sis Bima knows that Malika's real problem is not from that."

"Not from you at all. I knew what had happened to that girl from my father.”

"Then, does  Bima also pay more attention to him like Erlangga? If so, he really is very lucky to be loved by two special men in this hermitage.”

Bhima frowned. He really hoped that Anjani would be happy when he expressed his heart that he had always been watching over the girl while studying with her friends.

"Is that your opinion? If you are the one who gets that kind of attention will you also think that you are a very lucky girl like you say?"

"I don't know. I didn't experience anything like Malika's. No one paid attention to me this whole time. I'm nobody, while the man?"

"Why the boy?"

"One is a favorite student and the other is a favorite child."
