Part 57
Thesis trial day arrived.
Felicia groomed herself in front of the mirror after wearing her alma mater jacket. She deliberately put her hair in a ponytail so as not to make it difficult for her during her presentation. Every now and then she sighed to calm down. In the next few hours she will face the examining lecturers, as well as she will become a Bachelor of Pharmacy. "I can do it." She recited the words to herself.
"Are you ready, Fel?" asked Emily, who was standing in the doorway of Felicia's room, looking at her daughter full of emotion. Because in the end, after a long struggle, Felicia will reach the final point of her studies.
Felicia turned and nodded. She approached her mother and greeted her solemnly. "Pray for Felice, Mom, so everything goes well and I graduate."
Emily nodded confidently. "Don't forget to have breakfast. I have brought you lunch, for Jayden too. Pray a lot."
"Yes, Mom, I'm leaving first."

Part 58Ansel follows Felicia where she goes after hearing something unexpected from the girl who met Felicia. At first he wanted to give his ex-lover a bouquet of flowers, but he failed to hear their conversation. He felt hurt when he saw Felicia's face, which looked disappointed and sad.Felicia sat on a park bench, which was quiet at that time because almost all students were in the front yard of the campus building.Ansel approached Felicia and sat beside her. "Are you okay?" he asked in a soft voice.Felicia only glanced at Ansel and started to sob while covering her face. "I'm so stupid.""Enough, don't be sad. It's your happy day. Are you sure what she said anyway?" asked Ansel which made Felicia look at him again. Maybe her confused because Ansel can find out the cause of Felicia's cry today. "I overheard it. I was going to give you this." He handed a bucket of flowers to Felicia.Felicia just sighed and accepted it. "Thank you."
Part 59Jayden just walked the corners of the city to the outskirts of town. He stopped his car on the edge of a river. "Shit!"......."Where have you been?" asked Gladys who was worried to see Jayden just come home almost midnight. In fact, she, Uncle Jordan — Jayden's father — and Melisa — Jayden's mother — had been waiting since dinner time to celebrate their child's graduation. But Jayden didn't come home."None of your business!" Jayden went straight up to his room and closed the door loudly. He immediately threw himself on the bed and tilted his body, like when Felicia first stayed overnight and cared for him who was sick. He returned to bury his face in the pillow to hold back the emotional inside of him...........Felicia just stared at the screen of her cellphone, which was not a single notification from Jayden. As if all of that is a clue if what Gladys said is true. If not, why didn't Jayden try to explai
Part 60"Are you sure you will work in Jogja, Fel? You haven't met Jayden yet," said Ansel who regretted Felicia's decision to migrate to a city which is quite far from Jakarta. Even though their relationship is now just friends, Ansel hopes Felicia can continue to be here and he will protect her as a friend. Moreover, Felicia left with a big question mark in her mind that would obviously become a burden for the girl later.Felicia just smiled bitterly. Still warm in her memory the incident she saw the day before yesterday. When she was going to say goodbye to Jayden at the same time asking for an explanation from the man. It was true that after sending the last message to the man, Felicia immediately threw away her simcard without waiting for a reply. But if everything Gladys said was wrong, why would Jayden ignore her? Doesn't he come home and explain everything? Is Jayden's silence a sign that Gladys's words are true? Is not it?"It's okay, Sel. Maybe I
Part 61When the pharmacist course started, Jayden had met several times with Ansel who happened to be continuing his studies at their old campus. Jayden never greeted Ansel, and vice versa. Ansel chose to remain silent because he felt there was no need for him. Especially after Jayden ignored Felicia, Ansel was really angry. Ansel wasn't all that nice, but left Felicia in the misunderstanding Jayden kept quiet ... Ansel was angry. Even though he didn't know the truth, what Jayden did was still wrong. Left Felicia alone for so long that the girl was engulfed in a misunderstanding that hurt her.Ansel doesn't want to know what really happened to Jayden. All he knew, Jayden would immediately regret what he had done to Felicia.Jayden went to college with me. But different in class.Ansel sent the message to Felicia even though the girl rarely replied to his messages. But somehow he enjoyed texting her, especially about Jayden's condition. Ansel
Part 62Like a graduation ceremony in general. A large building in the city center hosts the Jayden campus to conduct graduation processions.The hall where the graduation took place was very large and was attended by thousands of students including those from non-Pharmacy majors. The event was so grand with the opening and performing arts that Jayden campus has. Also the appearance of famous bands.But the peak is when one by one the names of the graduates are mentioned. Jayden listened intently until his name was mentioned. Even until the name of the Department of Pharmacy was mentioned, there was no name Felicia. He was even more surprised."Where's Felicia?"Even until the event ended and all the graduation participants dispersed and were busy taking pictures in the courtyard of the building, Jayden did not see Felicia's figure anywhere. Even among friends whose congregation was with him in the past."Congratulations," said Ansel, who ga
Part 63Keeping his promise, Jayden went to college very diligently. Much more diligent than when he first studied to get a Bachelor Degree. His only goal was to get good grades when he graduated plus the meeting with Felicia, whom he had imagined, made the man much more excited.After six months of theoretical lectures and conducting exams as usual. Jayden finally did field practice. Usually every month the place of practice will move. Hospitals, pharmacies and Pharmaceutical companies.Until finally the place for his last field practicum, making Jayden smile.Ltd. Agra Lestari Company, Jogjakarta.Ansel who realized the oddity of his field practicum friend even though they were not in the same class when the Pharmacist theory felt that something was wrong with Jayden's smile. But when he saw the name of the company that was their next field practice, Ansel seemed to understand.Jayden glanced at Ansel and raised his eyebrows. "Soulmate won
Part 64"What are you doing?" asked Ansel when he saw Jayden busy fiddling with his cellphone since they entered the room.Jayden sighed softly. "You must know Felicia's new number, right? Admit it!" asked Jayden who tried to find information about Felicia but to no avail. Felicia has changed her number since the last message she sent. He also doesn't know who Felicia is working with in his current company."I don't know. You will meet her tomorrow anyway. Tomorrow we'll start PKPA.""What? Are you talking about Felicia?" asked Johan, who did not know much about what happened between Jayden, Ansel and Felicia. Because he and Bina are new to them and previously they studied a Bachelor Degree in Pharmacy at a different campus from Jayden and Ansel."You think?!" replied Jayden and Ansel in unison."Well, I don't understand either.""Just shut up if you don't understand," Jayden replied curtly and then walked straight out of his room.
Part 65When he got home, Jayden really wasn't excited. He also chose to lie on his bed while staring at the ceiling of the room.Johan and Ansel, who had just bought food outside, were confused to see Jayden lying down with annoyed faces."What's wrong?" asked Ansel, who actually didn't want to care, especially since Jayden suddenly left."Do you think Felicia is easy to open her heart again or not?" Jayden asked suddenly.Ansel frowned and then sat on a chair near their bed. "I don't think so. Especially when she was focused on one thing, romance was a matter in whatever order for her. That's why I was shocked when she accepted you."Jayden smiled crookedly. "That's because my charm is stronger than you.""Tch!" Ansel looks annoyed. In the end Jayden must have been an overconfident man. "What's wrong?""I went to the cafe and saw Felicia and a guy.""Handsome?" asked Johan, who joined the group."I'm more handso
