4. Not the Right Man

Lina was angry at Sazkia's insensitivity. She sat looking at the volunteers in the hall. Some are clustered in the corner of the room, some are busy with their cellphones. Some others are still lying on the carpet.

Sazkia who saw Lina's uneasiness could only look at her best friend intensely. She smiled seeing Lina frown. She reached out her hand to tickle Lina's waist. Lina who was emotional just waved her hand to hit Sazkia's hand. It did not stop Sazkia, instead, She was playing with her hands even more. She kept tickling Lina's waist until Lina stared at her.

“What happened to you, Dear? Please tell me my mistake! "

Lina shook her head. She returned her gaze to the hall, watching the activities of the volunteers. Still as before. They haven't changed their formation yet.

“Lin. . . please, don't be angry with me! I am so confuse to see you like this. "

Lina looked at Sazkia. She wanted to tell her about the ghost in Mr Syamsul's mansion, but She was hesitant. SHe knew Sazkia was not a coward. She knew Sazkia never believed in ghosts. Sazkia always thinks realistically. Ghosts are creatures of Allah. She is also a creature of Allah. There is nothing to worry about and nothing to fear.

For Sazkia, all beings have nothing to fear. She always said, humans must fear the creator. Not with others. Recalling all of Sazkia's words to her back then, Lina let out a sigh. She didn't want to think too much about how ghosts were and how Sazkia reacted to her. All She had in mind was how he acted calmly at Mr Syamsul's house

“What happened, Lin? Please tell me! "

"You believe there is gho. . . " Lina was about to reveal all the problems, but she  undone. She saw that Qomar was already sitting next to Sazkia.

"Why are you here? In the kitchen everyone is busy wrapping rice. '

Sazkia nodded. She immediately grabbed Lina's hand and left Qomar in his seat. Arriving at the kitchen, they immediately mingled with other volunteers who were wrapping food.

They sit on pandanus mats that are spread out on the floor. Each of them holds wrapping paper. Mr Budi instructed the volunteers to wrap the food with the same size. They work with pleasure. They forget for a moment the sadness of being forced to leave their families and become disaster volunteers.

 "Have you seen Syamsa this morning Saz?" whispered Lina. Sazkia shook her head. Sulis, who heard Lina's question, immediately focused on her two friends. Lina, who had just finished the first pack, immediately put the food on the cardboard.

"I saw earlier. She just woke up at the health post. what's up you asking Syamsa? Do you want to see her? ”Asked Sulis. Sazkia was stunned by Sulis's question. Never. I will never meet her. Just hearing the name Syamsa made Sazkia's heart emotional. She just wanted to make sure that Syamsa was healthy. That is all. No other. She wanted to make sure that Sazkia’s boyfriend,  Qomar, no longer came to the health post and tried to kiss her on the forehead again like two days ago.

"Let her rest. Don't be bothered because I believe She is still not fully recovered. "

“But She needs friends, Saz. Don't you want to make her your friend? " sazkia shook her head.

"Later, friends in one department will come. I am sure"

"Yes, hmm. Syamsa is an idol in her class. She will not be short of friends. So far, we have seen that many men and women surround her. She's the kid of the rich and popular. "

"We will see later. Is what you are talking about is true. " Rosa continued, smiling wryly. Rosa knows that Syamsa's friends are only friends when she is happy. In a caring way, Rosa knows who they are who are always happy when they have friends that they can use for their benefit.

"Why do you say that, Ros? Don't you feel sorry for Syamsa who is now alone? ”Asked Sulis while looking at Rosa.

"It's not mean that i am not sorry, Lis. Syamsa's friends who had been sticking to her all this time did not feel sorry for her. It's been the third day Syamsa is depressed, but where are they? Have you ever seen them come to visit Shamsa? " all shook their heads. They knew Syamsa was fighting alone when she was sad. She cried and screamed all day long. She mused to herself. Even some of the neighbors didn't want to get close. Only the four of them were there. They came to help and accompany Syamsa. Unfortunately, she is very selfish. Seeing them coming, Syamsa refused. She asked Doctor Wildan to Sazkia and her friends leave her in the medical room alone.

"Only Qomar is faithful to accompany Syamsa, Saz. Aren't you jealous to see their closeness? " teased Rosa.

Sazkia shrugged her shoulders.

“You should be her friend. Not Qomar. "

“Ha ha ha, you're jealous right? Don't say no. If you offer me to accompany her, I don't want to. " Lina and Sulis are stunned to hear Rosa's sentence. Rosa seemed to be cornering Sazkia. She blamed Sazkia for not being jealous of Qomar's attitude. Rosa just didn't know how Sazkia felt. Rosa also didn't know that Sazkia cried last night just because of Qomar. Lina who knew everything, now looked at Sazkia.

"Why?" Asked Sazkia curiously.

"I remember something. Two days ago when we accompany her at the health center. Her attitude was so annoying. She's too selfish. And you should know that I'm not the type to hide my feelings and pretend to be nice. "

"Hi all. Let's take the wrapped ones to the refugees. "

A woman from Indonesian Red Cross invited them. She brought a box of packaged rice. Sazkia and all her friends followed Mrs. Sari's footsteps, bringing food to the shelter, where the refugees were.

When they got there, they were greeted enthusiastically by the refugees who had been waiting for breakfast for a long time.

"Have a nice breakfast"

 Sazkia smiled at the few people who had received the food. All nodded and smiled and then enjoyed breakfast when one of them finished leading the prayer.

"Thank you, Sista."

"You're welcome"

After completing her task of delivering breakfast, Sazkia returned to the kitchen. She took a plate and took food like her friends who were now having breakfast together.

"Looks like someone is sad this morning." Mr Budi teased, looking at Lina. Lina, who had disliked Mr Budi from the start, turned to Sulis.

"Nobody is grieving, Mr Budi. We're just focused. " Said Sulis.

Mr Budi laughed at Sulis's answer. He almost choked. Sulis, Lina, Sazkia and Rosa just looked at each other while pouting their lips. They were furious to see the cool boy in front of them.

"Of course i know who. Sazkia looked really sad. Since morning I have seen her avoiding the men who are always watching her from afar. "

"Who, Mr Budi?" asked Sazkia quietly. Sazkia didn't like Mr Budi's chat at all this morning. It is true that She is sad, but She doesn't want anyone to interfere with her business.

"Are you Qomar’s lover, Saz?" Budi's question surprised Sazkia. Good guess, but totally disrespectful. Anyone may have guessed, but for Sazkia the affairs of her heart would only belong to her. No one can interfere with her, let alone interfere in her business.

"Mr Budi. Don't make up fake stories that will defame Sazkia's good name, ”said Lina.

"Nothing will be contaminated. I know Sazkia and Qomar have a special relationship, I emphasize once again that I guarantee that Qomar is not the right man for a girl as soft as Sazkia"
