That night, Lia couldn't stop thinking about Evan. She never thought that today she would be able to meet this young man again. In fact, without realizing it, they can talked about many things and just flow. And not only that, Evan sincerely took her self and her parents home safely.
At first, Lia tends to judge that Evan is a person who is indifferent and more silent. It was concluded based on Angga's story and also according to a glimpse of the young man. However, it seems that all of her thoughts are not quite right. Because Evan, whom she met today, is a person who is willing to listen and also wants to give feedback about what Lia said. In essence, she concluded that Evan is a person with a cool personality.
But even so, Lia couldn't forget when she caught Evan's cloudy eyes when discussing about family. Lia was very curious and wanted to ask Evan about it. However, she abandoned her intention because she thought that it was not right.
Moreover, it was the first time she had spoken to Evan. That's why she refrained from being frank. Although, she also really hoped to know what had happened to the young man. For now, she could only hope that one day she would find out why. Or maybe she could ask Angga who is Evan's close friend.
"Arrghhh… no-no. Let Evan tell the story. Just flow, Lia. Just flow, okay?" Lia ruffled her hair, then rolled over again, facing to the right.
"But it's really weird, this is the first time I can't treat Evan like an ordinary friend. It feels... it feels... why am I here, gosh... even though it's the first time we've met. Why do you keep thinking? Hmm." While continuing to talk to herself, Lia lamented about her unruly feelings.

Lia changed her position to face down, then buried her face in the pillow. There is one more thing that cannot be missed by Lia about Evan.
For the first time in her life, her heartbeat became unusual as she looked at the young man. Especially when the young man smiled. Her heart fluttered softly and created a vibration that spread throughout her body.
"Oh ... my heart, please stop it. What has happened??"

Meanwhile ...
Evan was attending a dinner invitation from one of his prospective colleagues in the area. This reason made Evan immediately say goodbye to Lia, even though he still wanted to talk to the girl.
Angga, who accepted the invitation, told Evan that they had to come as a form of respect for potential colleagues who would later partner with Galaxy. However, the invitation suddenly came on the same day. Because of that, Evan rushed home to get ready for the event.
However, it seems that Evan's mind is not completely on the event. His thoughts were fixed on Lia—the sweet girl who had succeeded in making his heart flutter. Unknowingly, a faint smile appeared on his lips. As it turned out, the strange feeling made Evan couldn't stop thinking about the girl. The images kept dancing in his mind, even… those smiles and laughter filled his head.
"Oh, this is crazy!" Evan cried softly, shaking his head as if he couldn't believe what had happened to him.
"Evan? Evan? Gosh, why is this kid smiling to himself." Angga, who had been watching his best friend, became exasperated himself and decided to ask directly. However, what has been done has not yet received a response from Evan.
"Stevan Harshil…. Hello!!" cried Angga in the end and succeeded in making Evan wake up from his daydream.
"What are you shouting about? Don't be shy!" Evan snarled in response while glaring at Angga.
"You're the shy one. I've been observing that, instead of listening to the program, I'm smiling at myself like a stressed person. Why is it? Are you sick?"
"Oh, No. Everything is good," Evan said nonchalantly.
"Good? How? Let me know." Angga kept urging Evan to tell the truth. But basically, it was ignorant, of course, Evan refused.
Angga did not continue his insistence and decided to remain silent while listening to what the owner of the show had to say. Meanwhile, Evan took his cellphone instead and finally decided to send a message to Lia. He couldn't stop himself from texting the girl at all.
Evan: I'm attending dinner. How about you? Have you had dinner too?
Sent.

In a simple room that is not too spacious but looks so comfortable, Lia is busy working on her unfinished college assignment. And suddenly, her concentration was broken when she heard her cellphone vibrate which was deliberately placed near the bed so that she could focus more on her work.
The corners of Lia's lips lifted when she saw who had sent the message to her. It's like the word that the pinnacle is loved by the ulam arrives. When Lia had been thinking about Evan for a long time and wanted to send a message to the young man but couldn't do it, now what she was thinking about appeared and sent a message to her.
Lia: Wow, apparently dinner. I've eaten. My eating hours are always orderly and always increase. Hehehe.
Sent.
'Gosh Liaaaa… what are you doing here? Just got a chat from Evan, why are you happy like this? Oh… don't be like that.' The girl who seemed to be in love was having a monologue with herself; questioned what was going on with her.
Drrrttt… drrrttt…
The smile grew again when a vibrating notification from her cellphone showed that Evan had replied to the message she sent.
Evan: If you're still hungry, you have to add more. Haha. Speaking of eating, any recommendations for good and favorite places to eat in this area?
Lia: No. Then it's tough. Wkwkwkwk. Hmmm… there is. Favorite, delicious, cheap, comfortable place. 1000 percent guarantee. Haha.
Evan: So what if you're fat?
Receiving such a reply, Lia's eyebrows met while her brow furrowed. The reason was that Evan's answer was beyond her expectations. She thought Evan would agree with what she said about the fat thing. But instead, the young man asked Lia the reason, as if it was a form that he did not agree with her statement.
Lia: I think boys don't like fat girls.
Lia deliberately replied like that to find out Evan's response. A few minutes had passed, but Evan didn't reply. In her heart, Lia can't wait to find out the answer. She repeatedly checked her cell phone, but still no response.
Lia decided to return to complete her college assignments. However, her mind could not be as focused as before. Evan had distracted her concentration. And, what she was waiting for finally replied to the message she sent.
Evan: Fat can exercise to lose the fat. But what about attitude and character? These two things are the most important, Lia…
Evan's reply succeeded in making Lia even more soaring. Turns out, Evan had the same thoughts as her. Attitude and character are the main things of a person. It's useless to have a handsome or beautiful face but minus morals, it really will only cause problems.
Not yet Lia replied to the chat, Evan again sent another message.
Evan: Oh yeah, you didn't tell me about your favorite place to eat in this area. Come on say it and will you accompany me to eat there, Lia? Let's talk about attitude and character. If you want, ^_^
'Mmm…. Why are you so nervous again? Ouch… Lia, that's tacky. Why should you be nervous? But… I swear I can't deny that Evan is handsome. Half-blood heaven, huh.'
Lia returned to monologue with herself, after receiving a message from Evan. She couldn't believe it at all if Evan asked her to meet.
In her heart, Lia was still a bit hesitant about Evan's offer. She was confused about whether to immediately accept the offer or postpone it first. The confusion made Lia decide to throw a question to the Happy Success Group which contains her friends.
