This sunny afternoon, is the day where Elsa finishes her last hour of college, at the campus of her dreams. Favorite campus in the city of Flowers. He felt proud, because he had granted his mother's wish to continue studying here. Her mother used to really hope that after graduation, Elsa could reopen the boutique business that was once a successful one belonging to her family, so that her life's hardships would soon pass.
Since the tragedy of the fire that occurred in her family, Elsa's life has changed 180 degrees. His mother, who was successful as a businessman, now has to lie limp in her room, due to a stroke and illness after the incident. His father, left Elsa and his mother with another woman who offered the luxury of life.
Now, Elsa is the backbone of her family. Even his mother and father's brothers don't seem to know him now. He has to fend for himself to earn a living for food, hospital fees and medicine for his mother. Because Elsa is a smart child, she is lucky to always get a scholarship at her campus, so that she can fulfill her college needs from scholarship money.
From a distance, Dani saw Elsa walking in a hurry out of her class.
"E- Elsa... wait!" shouted Danny.
Hearing Dani's repeated screams, Elsa stopped and turned to Dani.
"What are you doing? Elsa said jokingly with her sweet smile.
"After you were called, you didn't answer, look at this until my leg sprained when I hit the door while chasing you." Dani said while groaning lifting her feet
"Duch.. you're still not careful. Come with me so I can treat it." Seeing the look on Dani's face, Elsa felt sorry for her.
Elsa helps Dani walk to the park behind campus to treat her sprained leg. With his skillful hands, he massaged Dani's ankles and smeared the wasp oil that Elsa always brought to massage her mother.
"How's it going? Have you enjoyed it? Eat it next time you're careful." while cleaning his hands with water in the sink and then applying the oil he had been using.
"I'm feeling better, thank you, Sa... you're really good at massage." said Dani with red cheeks. Dani has always admired Elsa, with all her skills, tenacity and never give up.
"It's good, just like who you are Dan. But I'm sorry Dan I have to leave immediately, I'm afraid I'll be late, the boss will scold me. Can I cut my salary later if I'm late, right, dear." Elsa spoke with a smile and prepared to leave Dani beside her.
"Sa, wait..." He grabbed Elsa's hand and pulled her to sit next to him.
"Why again Dan? does your leg still hurt?" Elsa asked innocently.
"No Sa, it's fine, Sa... it's been 3 years I've been waiting for your answer Sa... since we were in high school. You know Sa, if I love you, I want to protect you and your mama. I can You don't have to work here and there Sa. Take care of your health," said Dani, holding Elsa's hand tightly, as if she didn't want to let Elsa go.
Elsa tries to calm down, she knows Dani is very good to her and her mother, but she doesn't have any feelings for Dani except the feeling of being a friend to her.
"And, you know how I am. I can't ask people for mercy to survive. Especially you Dan. I don't want to bother you Dan. You also know Dan, if your parents don't like me Dan. How can I burden you? for my problem. After all we are still in the same college Dan. You are also still the responsibility of your parents right. So now our job is to study, graduate with good grades, and be successful Dan. Well, don't be so tense. You are my best friend Dan, and I already consider like my own brother. You are a good person Dan. Thank you." While giving his sweetest smile to his best friend Dani.
"Yes Sa, I understand, I'm sorry, Sa. Hug me, Sa, so I can accept it freely," whined Dani hoping.
"Hmmm, it's starting to get spoiled." While hugging Danny. For Elsa, it was the hug of a friend who was considered her own brother.
"Thank you Sam." While hugging Elsa firmly as if she didn't want to be left behind.
"It's done, I'm already going to be late, already, Dan. Bye... see you tomorrow." while running left Dani with a sweet smile.
Dani nodded in response to Elsa's sweet smile.
"Be careful on the road Sa." while waving his hand with a happy face.
Unbeknownst to Dani and Elsa, it turns out that there are three girls watching the two of them. With a cynical smile indicating that he did not like the incident he saw earlier.
One of the women was Sarah. Women who always look luxurious and sexy on campus from a successful businessman family.
"Sarah, you saw for yourself, right, they hugged on campus, are you going to let Dani go?" said Nita to Sarah, her best friend.
"That's right, the girl has no shame, she must be good at seducing rich guys, let her feel sorry for her" Erni said.
"What? give up? That's not a word for a Sarah, well, just look at Sarah's struggle, and the result. Dan is the one who will chase after me, understand!?" Sarah defended her two best friends, Nita and Erni, who always followed Sarah where she went.
"Sarah wait, so what are you going to do now? Dani is always close to Elsa. Even from when they were in school together, that's the info I got yesterday." Ernie replied.
"That's it! Now you guys stay here don't follow me yet. OK! I'll go see Dani first. You understand?" pointed to his two friends then left the two friends walked over to Dani.

Sarah walked in high heels, walked over to Dani, who was sitting in the garden and sat next to her.
"Hello Dan, why are you alone here? Can I sit here with you?" said Sarah seductively.
"Hey Sarah, may I have a seat please." Dani replied nervously seeing his little friend coming over.
In the past, Dani and Sarah were close when they were still in junior high school grade 1. However, because Sarah's family received a big project and moved out of town, there was no communication between them. Dani remembers correctly, with the spoiled nature of Sarah at that time. And now, they met at this favorite campus.
"How long have you been here?" Sarah repeated with Dani.
"Not really Sarah, there was Elsa who helped treat my leg. But she was in a hurry to go to work," said Dani explaining.
"Oh, I see, where does he work? Are you dating Elsa?" Sarah inquired.
Dani floated a smile to answer Sarah's question. "Elsa is a great girl, she is beautiful and willing to work hard, smart again, who doesn't like her"
"So you're really dating Elsa?"
"If he wanted we might already be dating, but he's too busy working here and there. Maybe he doesn't have time to think about dating. He's only thinking about fighting for life and graduating college on time Sarah." Dani explained.
"Well learn to forget him, there must be a better girl there for you Dan" with a smile hoping Dani will accept him back to be close.
"Thanks Sarah, it's been a long time, hasn't you? You've changed, not like when you were in middle school, now you're smart enough to give advice." Danny replied with a smile.
"Yeah, Sarah is like that... how did you have a crush on me again?" while laughing teasingly.
"It's been a long time, Sarah, you used to be a spoiled girl who wanted to win on her own, now you can cheer me up. If you didn't go, maybe I couldn't stand to tease you" Dani said innocently with a smile.
"But, you people keep looking for me right? You send a lot of messages," recalled Sarah.
"Yes Sarah, ever since you left, I feel like I've lost a friend. You don't reply to all my messages, and finally your number can't be contacted anymore. Until I graduated from middle school, and I entered high school, I just met Elsa, she can make I laughed again. Give me my spirit, comfort and accompany me. I can only be happy again when I know Him," recalled Dani with a smile imagining his past.
"It's okay, don't talk about the bad things. Now we've met again. And I'm really happy, if I can be close to you again. I want to repeat the good times Dan." said Sarah hopefully.
"But Sarah, I... my feelings are still hopeful for Elsa. I hope that I can fight with Elsa, graduate to reach our goals, and be successful together. Moreover, she is now alone, taking care of her sick mother. I can't leave her struggling. alone," Dani explained to his little friend Sarah.
"Duch... what are you doing Dan, you care too much about Elsa, you said, he doesn't like you, why are you still holding on! Already... you'll forget about him in a long time, Dan" while smiling sarcastically remembering Elsa who was hanging on to him. Dani. In Sarah's mind, it must be Elsa who is looking to take advantage of Dani's closeness.
"It's hard, Sarah, I already like Elsa, I've been hoping to be with her," Dani continued.
"Don't rush to conclusions okay. You probably don't know the real Elsa, right behind you," Sarah provoked.
"What do you mean? Sarah?" Dani inquired curiously about Sarah's words.
"Hmmm, later you will also find out for yourself Dan. If Elsa is not as good as you think. She is just taking advantage of you Dan! You should be aware!"
"Sarah! You don't say things that don't matter about Elsa. I know Elsa, she's nice, don't say things that don't matter to Elsa anymore Sarah. I don't like it. Got it! Sorry I have a need." Leaving Sarah alone sitting in the garden.
"Dani! wait.... just wait for that day, okay. You'll definitely wake up Dan!" Sarah feels angry that Dani just left her. With thoughts full of plans, He will make Elsa away, so that Dani gets close to him, and likes him back.
