Taera doubted whether she should contact Serry or not. But considering the feelings and anxieties that she couldn't stop herself and was confused about who to tell, Taera finally decided to tell Serry.
[Chat]
Taera: Hello, Sis Serry. It is Taera.
Taera dag is afraid to wait for Serry's answer for some reason. She then drank the cold drink she bought earlier. A few moments later, her handphone vibrated. There's a message from Serry.
Serry: Hi, Taera. I am so happy to chat with you. What is wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?
Taera: Yes Sis, I want to talk about Ardilo. Do you mind or not?
Serry: Oh, about Ardilo. Why should I object? I'm even happy to be able to help. What do you want to talk about, Tae?
Taera: Look, I think Ardilo told you that he confessed to me? But I still haven't answered him. The problem is I'm still upset.
Serry: What's wrong, Tae? You don't have to worry about his feelings. He's been loving you for a long time, you know. It's been almost a year. But yes, people have different feelings. What makes you upset?
Taera: It turns out that it's been that long, right? Ardilo loves me? I don't know. Yes, I'm upset because I'm just an ordinary student while Ardilo is cool. Candidates for chairman of the SEB, many fans, cool friends. I know what, there's nothing.
Serry: Hahaha. Taera, why do you have to be insecure? Which cool friend do you mean? Yania? Yola? Yuna? They're cool. But Ardilo is not a picky friend. The proof is that I can be Ardilo's best friend. Just calm down, Taera :)
Taera: Hmmm, is that right? Yes, I heard from people that Ardilo's friends were all cool. His friends are cool. If you are his girlfriend, you have to be even cooler. That's why I feel inferior, Sis.
Serry: Trust me, Ardilo is a different person. He didn't see anyone by their popularity. But their heart. I'm not the right person to say why Ardilo loves you so much. He will be able to explain someday. I'm sure you will no longer hesitate to have the same feelings for him.
Taera: Yes, Sis. I'll think about it better. Oh yeah, Sis, Ardilo is busy, isn't he? He hasn't spoken to me in the last few days. I want to chat first. It's uncomfortable. I'm afraid to disturb him.
Serry: He's a bit busy, though. But I'm sure if you chat with him first, he'll be so happy. He doesn't mean to forget you because he didn't chat with you first. But sometimes, when Ardilo is busy, he likes to forget, even if it's not on purpose.
Taera: I see, Sis. So it's okay if I chat with him first?
Serry: It's okay. I'm sure he's so happy. Moreover, tomorrow is already the day of the election for the chairman of the SEB. He needs the sweetest prayer from you.
Taera: Hehehe. What is the sweetest prayer?
Serry: Yes. It is a prayer from someone you love. It feels different, Taera. There is a sweet taste. Ah, you will understand what I mean.
Taera: Yes, then I'll chat with Ardilo. Thank you for listening to my words and for giving advice.
Serry: Yes, you are welcome. Do not hesitate with me. Just relax. I am your supporter and Ardilo.
Taera: Hehehe. Thank you so much, Sis.
Serry: Yes. You're welcome. Good luck.
Taera then ended the chat with Serry. She immediately returned to the library. She almost forgot that Stefa was waiting for her.

"Where are you going after this?" asked Stefa as she walked towards the parking lot after finishing from the library.
"I have a business for a moment," Taera replied. She didn't want to tell this to Stefa yet. Taera felt it was not the time yet.
"Okay. I was invited by Yuna to go shopping here. I wanted to invite you too, but Yuna said I just wanted to be alone together. Yes, maybe someone wants to talk about it while taking a walk," explained Stefa.
"Yes, it's okay. I understand. Maybe Yuna wants to talk to you both. Just relax," Taera said, then smiled.
Stefa pinched Taera's cheek with exasperation, "My friend, this one is understanding. Yes, I'll go first, okay?"
"Okay, be careful," Taera said to Stefa. She waved her hand at Taera, then got into her car and hurried home. Meanwhile, Taera, who has now gotten into her car, is still silent and takes her handphone.
"Maybe this is the right time to chat, Ardilo," muttered Taera.
[Chat]
Taera: Ardilo, sorry to disturb you. I only want to pray for you. Hopefully, tomorrow will run smoothly and give you the best. Sorry if this chat bothers you. No need to answer, okay :)
Taera sighed after sending the chat. She hasn't started the car yet. She's still there. She wants to go home but thinks. So she was quiet for a moment.
Suddenly Taera's handphone vibrates, there is a call from Ardilo. Taera suddenly panicked.
"Wow, it's a call here. How about it?" Taera said while holding her handphone.
She then thought for a moment and decided to pick up the phone.
"Hello, Ardilo."
"Hello, Tae. I'm so happy to be able to hear your voice. It turns out you do, huh."
Taera, who heard Ardilo's words on the phone, felt flowery. Taera is happy that some miss her besides Stefa.
"I'm sorry if I suddenly bothered you with my chat. I just wanted to pray for you."
"You're not bothering me. I'm the one who's supposed to apologize because I haven't contacted you lately. The thing is, I keep hanging out with my success team. I'm not comfortable playing on my handphone. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, bro. I know you are busy."
"You understand me so much."
Taera smiled. She was so happy.
"Oh yes, Tae. Thank you for the prayers. I am so happy for you to chat with me and give prayers to me. It feels like the sweetest prayer in my life."
"That sweet, bro?"
"Yes, very sweet. A simple but quality prayer. You don't pray for me so that I win, but you wish me the best. Whether you win or lose, that's what's best for me. Thank you, Tae. I'm so happy."
"Yes, you're welcome."
"I want to meet you now. But I'm busy. Sorry, we haven't been able to meet yet. I'll try to meet you as soon as possible. Because I miss you."
Taera's face now flushed red. She was happy Ardilo said he missed her. Because she misses Ardilo. Even though she hasn't answered Ardilo yet. But somehow, that love has started to grow.
"It's okay. I have continued with my activities."
"Yes. See you later."
"Yes."
Taera then hung up the phone. It felt like she wanted to jump up and down and scream now. She is so happy. She hopes that the sweetest prayer will bear the sweetest results too.
