5. Meet Syamsa

"Sorry, Mr Budi. I have to go.'

Sazkia took Lina's hand to leave the kitchen towards the hall. Lina, who does have a dislike for Mr Budi, complies. There is resentment in their hearts at responding to Budi's words, but Budi just smiles

“You will be mine, Saz. Does not belong to Qomar or whoever he is. " Budi muttered as he continued breakfast.

In the Hall, Sazkia didn't continue eating. She was busy thinking about what Budi said about her relationship with Qomar. Lina who knew Sazkia's behavior could only shake her head.

"Are you going to torture yourself by leaving your stomach lacking food?"

Sazkia shook her head.

"I lost my appetite."

Sazkia put her plate and spoon in front of her. She took a deep breath. She leaned her body against the wall and her gaze turned forward. Looking at the volunteers who were still busy with the food on their plates. Lina is now following her activities. She put down the plate and stared at Sazkia intensely. Lina actually hates seeing Sazkia who listens too much to Mr Budi's words. She really wanted to rub her smooth cheeks. Telling her that She is not easily influenced by other people's temptations but She discouraged her. Lina tried to understand Sazkia's feelings.

"Do not be stupid. She's just teasing you. How can you not know that the man is married. "

“But he doesn't seem kidding, right? I'm sure he could reveal my secret in front of everyone” said Sazkia while pursing her lips. Lina shook her head softly. She had known Sazkia for more than two years. For Lina, Sazkia is a wise girl. She knows when to be angry and when to be quiet.

"Never. He had to work hard to prepare food. There won't be time to take care of you all day. "

"Wouldn't it be better if we moved locations?"

"You mean you just gave up?"

Sazkia shook her head. She didn't want to give up. She just wants to focus on volunteering. She thought, it would not be efficient when She left college, however, in the field She did not focus. Sazkia took a deep breath.

"Not giving up, but I'm really tired of his jokes."

"Hah. The same. You're tired or you give up it's the same. No difference."

Bam

The sound of thunder sounded loudly shocking everyone who was busy having breakfast.

"Will it rain again?"

“It looks like that. We have to be careful, don't let your guard down. That's the commander's order who leads the search for victims. "

"Many victims are still buried but the weather is not at all supporting us at this time."

"What will we do?" asked Rosa frantically.

"Stay here and don't scatter!" command of the SAR Commander.

Everyone stop breakfast. They looked up at the sky. The weather, which was sunny before, is now dark again covered with clouds, making nature black. For several days, the nature of Gebang rejo has been extreme. Sometimes it's sunny but suddenly it gets dark, rain and wind come. This incident occurred almost every day until the evacuation of victims was hindered.

Sazkia looked at Lina in panic. She directed her mind to the health post. The place where there were many victims lying weak. Their condition is very poor. There are broken bones, some are depressed. Even so, somehow they prefer to stay in the camp. They refused to be hospitalized.

"What about the victims at the health post?"

Lina shook her head. She didn't really like it when She was asked to talk about health posts. Especially when remembering the college idol who was still lying there.

"They're going to be transferred to the city hospital." Suddenly Sulis came with Rosa. They sat next to Sazkia. Lina, who was still feeling sleepy because she couldn't sleep last night, immediately lay down. She was very sleepy this morning.

"Are you going to accompany Syamsa?" teased Sazkia. Lina immediately got up. She raised her both hands, begging for forgiveness for the action She had just done.

“No, Sazkia. Please, don't take me there. I'm just sleepy because last night .... "

"What happened last night?"

Lina wanted to tell everything, but she didn't want Sazkia and the others to get scared and leave Gebang Rejo before all activities were finished.

"I can't sleep because of my friend"

Sazkia smiled at Lina's explanation. She knew her friend was just teasing. The truth is, Lina wants Sazkia to be able to mingle with other volunteers without burden.

"But you can also try." Sazkia replied blindly. She immediately got up and walked towards the health center. Lina was stunned. She did feel sleepy, finally gave up. For her it is better to lie down in the health center than in the hall.

"Ok, I will go with you. At least we will accompany her until her aunt in Jakarta arrives. Instead of sitting in the kitchen with Mr Budi. He's very annoying "

 "Ok, better follow Sazkia and Lina." Said Sulis. Rosa holds Sulis's hand. She was reluctant to follow them.

“Please stay in the kitchen! I don't want to go to the health center. Please accompany me in the kitchen! We take  dirty plate and we wash together, OK? "

Rosa didn't want them at all to accompany Syamsa, the arrogant girl who had always been her rival. Rosa remembers how Syamsa treated her badly while on campus. She was always giving a whistle. Syamsa also never behaved well. She even often brought male friends who loved Rosa and asked her out. Syamsa also told them to leave Rosa and walk with her. Sulis who had seen Rosa, now nods.

"Ok, no problem."

"Thank you for understanding, Lis. I know you're a good girl. "

 "No need to thank, but answer my question. Do you hate her that way? "

Rosa shook her head

"Not hate. Please underline, I was just annoyed at her behavior to me. "

"Ok, I know. You are truly a vengeful person. "

“Ha ha ha, not vindictive. But I can't just forgive. "

"The same. No different. '

"Up to you, let's go to the kitchen to meet Mr. Budi."

Rosa leaves Sulis. When Sazkia and Lina avoid Budi, Rosa chooses to get closer. What's wrong with Rosa? Sulis shrugged her shoulders. She did not want to interfere in the affairs of Rosa, who was known to be very unstable.

Sulis immediately walked towards the center of the hall. She joined other volunteers who were picking up dirty glasses and plates and putting them in a large bucket. Sulis helps to bring the dirty cutlery to the washing place. She rolled up her sleeves and sat on a small chair and started washing.

In the health room, Sazkia and Lina began to mingle with medical personnel who were still helping patients to clean up. They will soon be transferred to the regional hospital. Sazkia and Lina drew closer to Syamsa who was still on her back. There is no activity whatsoever on the bed.

Sazkia stretched out her hand, greeted Syamsa. Syamsa who felt annoyed at the two girls in front of her turned her face slowly.

"I don't want to be with you."

Sazkia who heard Syamsa's words could only look at Lina. She wanted to know how Lina answered the ridiculous sentence that came out of Syamsa's tiny lips. Seeing Sazkia looking at her, Lina smiled. She patted the chest. Lina wanted to say that everyone could follow her orders without coercion. But her consciousness returned. Humans must not have an arrogant attitude. Only Allah can be proud because Allah is Almighty. Instead of patting the chest proudly, this time Lina said istighfar.

"You should be able to change. Your family died in a disaster. But why are you still the same as yesterday? Arrogant and arrogant. "

Syamsa, who heard Lina's words, immediately screamed. She called Doctor Wildan and asked the young doctor to expel Lina and Sazkia.

"Doctor"
