No one speak inbetween them until they reached the college. Sia first looked at the school name, 'SENTAR MUSIC AND ART COLLEGE' written broadly on top of the building. Also Rous looked at the school name. There are also few students roaming around and having their activities around the school surroundings. At first look, Sia feel pleased of the school and its way of conduct, especially the student's interactions with one another. "The school is so good and so the students were quite discipline. Didn't you see that uncle?" she sounded in thrilled.
"You are right. It will be the best choice", answered Rous. And he added, "Let me get your stuff", as he tried to get out of the car.
Besides, Sia spoke, "oh uncle, relax. I don't have many stuffs with me and even if I have, you're not a servant. I can do that as a student, do you realize that".
"Well, but I have to help you".
"You are always helping me uncle. And don't worry about this please. You're my uncle right? And you know it's not absolute for me to allow you do the hard work", sounded Sia pleasantly as she kindly went out of the car. Thereby, she knocked at the car door.
And Rous lift down the glass, "is everything okay?"
"Yes uncle. Please open me the boat" Sia ought.
As Rous sounds, "oh! Sorry Sia, I even forget". Then he pressed the key and opened the car boat.
Then she walked behind and took her bag with a small basket contains with some boil foods. Then she walked to him, "I am done uncle, you may close it".
Then Rous closed the boat before he speaks, "I don't understand why I am feeling something in my heart".
And Sia smiled, "the same thing to me uncle. I am sure it's just a bound of friendship, that's why. Everything is going to be fine. Well, I should say farewell".
"No, please don't say that", said Rous with frowned face.
And Sia smiled, "I meant it in a good way uncle. Well don't worry, I will call whenever I am free. Please take good care of yourself. And don't forget about me".
As Rous laughed, "it seems we're all together in one phase. Well, I will keep your promise Sia. And don't forget, the first thing you'll need to do is to get to your hostel. I have settled everything for you. You have your keys, passports, credentials and everything with you in case there's need of it. And maintain yourself as you always do".
"Sure uncle. You too", she sounded.
Then he dropped away.
Sia turned to the school gate, thinking of where to start. Everyone were doing their own business and nobody mind of giving a passage. It was not Sia's first day at college let alone living in hostel, but after seeing herself in the middle of strangers, she feels loneliness and eccentric. Although, she has been a prominent and notorious girl since when she was a child. As she has inherited much from her father, not hardly for her to be intimate with anyone.
Sia took her bag and went inside the school. By the school arrangements, everything is in order. And that's how she continues to follow the instructions and the signs. Her only prompt was to search for the room she has registered. She was busy roaming around the school compounds with a file in one hand and her bag in the other. She was walking slowly like a girl that lost her way in a new place. She was in that notion, abruptly someone bumped into her and mess up her dress with a drink.
"Ooh! I am sorry", said the man in anguish. As he collect a tissue, trying to clean her dress.
Although Sia insisted to collect the tissue from his hand. "It's okay. Don't worry, I understand it's a mistake" she sounded as she collect the tissue from him, trying to clean the dress.
Then he looked at her again and asked, "where are you going?"
And Sia show him the form that's contained with the school details.
"I know this hostel. It was next to or the same with Clari's isn't it. Let's go, I will show you".
Sia became really happy. As if he knows her prompt and he insist to help her find the room. Sia continue following him until they reached the room she was busy searching for. "Thanks alot", she said with a smile.
And the man says, "can I give you top or will you give on behalf?"
"What?" She asked with surprised look.
And the man smiled, "well I know. I am Ricel", and he gave his hand, wanting to shake hands with her.
And Sia shake hands with him pleasantly. And she added, "and I am Sia Musk".
"Nice to meet you Sia".
"You too Ricel, and thank you. Or would you like some tea?"
And Ricel answered, "no, I left my friends waiting outside. See you in class".
"Okay bye".
And he walked away.
While Sia went inside the room. As she tried to arrange her clothes and items into the wardrobe. After she finishes clearing all her belongings, she took a towel, and walked to the bathroom. A few minutes she came out, already prepared in her dress. And she fall in the bed in frail, not knowing the time her eyes closed.
AN HOURS LATER
Sia heard somebody's voice from distance. The voice sounds non-familiar as she carefully opened her eyes. The face she saw is also new. It was a fair girl with dark hair and middle average height. She was of the same high with her. But what only differentiate them was dimple and blur eyes of Sia which the girl didn't has. The girl was smiling at her as she kindly held her hand, trying to raise her up.
