My First Love Story
Episode 112's

“Hay mah...” greet Kezia through his phone screen.

“Hay dear...” sahut Eliana with teary eyes. The feeling of haru and longing present simultaneously filled Eliana's empty heart.

“Which father mah?”

“Yes dear, papah here.” Martin just appeared after he was sure he could control himself staring at Kezia's face.

“Mah, pah, today zia will be the final trial. Do’akan everything smoothly yaa..” said Kezia while smiling.

“Iya dear.. Papah sama mamah always mendo’ the best for you son.” said sincerely Martin. The sound rang out and stammered. Of course there was a cry he was trying to endure.

“Thank you mah, pah. Mama same papah rest first, there is already malem right?”

“Iya dear... Good luck yes son..” Martin said. Kezia nodded with a smile.

“Honey,,,” Eliana's voice sounded vibrating.

“Iyaaa, what is mah?” kezia stared fixedly at the face of Eliana who looked moody.

“Mamah misses nak..” he said in stammering. Tears just dripped from Eliana's eyes.

Kezia breathed deeply. He tried to smile with teary eyes. “Zia also miss the same mamah and papah..” said Kezia while touching the faces of Eliana and Martin on the phone screen. “Zia well here mah, mamah same papah do not worry okey...” continued Kezia. Eliana and Martin nodded. Eliana simply bowed with a cry that she could not contain. Kezia turned his face up, hoping he could withstand the rate of tears that were about to drip. “Zia close first yes... See you mah, pah..” Kezia.

He waved his hand and immediately ended his call.

Kezia slapped his face. Her crying just broke. All this time he busied himself so as not to be dissolved in grief because he missed his loved ones. Their shadows often appear alternately. Eliana, Martin, Dena, Kania, sherly, Ricko and of course Arland. Kezia hopes to one day be able to hug them back tightly.

Kezia clasped an AK initial necklace that was always coiled around her neck. “Land...” Ogre Kezia.

Meanwhile, even Eliana's cries could not be contained. He cried in Martin's arms.

“Pah, mamah misses kezia pah very much. Sangaaatt miss... Why papah still gagging kezia home?” isak Eliana's. Martin rubbed and kissed the head gently. He could not deny that he felt the same way. “Pah, they say Kezia will be a virgin old pah, mamah very scared… Mama should not approve of zia going so far if mamah tau mamah will be very tormented” continued Eliana while beating the chest field Martin.

Martin took off his embrace. Then raised Eliana's chin with her hand.

“Mah, throw away such thoughts. Our son is struggling. Kezia doesn't miss us, nor does he think about his personal life. But he has set his priorities. We should be proud, he can walk himself so hard so far. If Zia heard these mama's words, would she not be sad and go home from giving up? Papah just wants to protect her. Although far away, but we can still see it, hear his voice. Imagine if we lost zia like we lost dika, are we still able to live?” martin brightly with his own eyes.

Eliana didn't hold it in the least. He was still with his painful cry from a deep longing. When can she hug her daughter again and when can she re-stroke her hair. Ah, everything was too torturous for Eliana.

In the courtroom, there were 6 students waiting including Kezia and Fritz. Kezia played the pen in his hand, muttering in light of what he was going to say in the courtroom. A small note in hand, helping him remember what to say.

Fritz sat quite far away from Kezia.His feelings were as restless as Kezia's. He reopened his final task and made sure nothing was forgotten.

“Kezia Artiandinia Fashia..” call the assembly committee. Kezia flinched and reflexively raised his hand. “Come in, it's your turn..” said the woman.

Kezia immediately stood up and tidied up his appearance. He brought a laptop and task materials Finally. He turned to look at Fritz who was walking towards him.

“Goodluck girl! Do your best!” fritz exclaimed while patting Kezia on the shoulder. Kezia nodded confidently.

He immediately walked into the courtroom. Inside already waiting for 3 lecturers, with one of them Prof Clifton.

Kezia was asked to describe the contents of his final task. Kezia immediately displayed the material he was going to bring. Explained it in a strict and strict manner. Some questions during exposure can be answered calmly. The final discussion session, each lecturer is given the opportunity to convey 1 question.

“For me, all patients are unique, whether he is in a severe condition or calm, they are important for us to save. From the most important is our ability to explore the actual needs of health services. That is why the process of triage cannot be considered as trivial. Because patients who come for treatment, not only want to be cured of the disease, but given clarity on the condition so that psychologically they are calm and ready to accept the situation.” Kezia replied with confidence. the testing lecturer was only nodding to hear Kezia's answer that he could receive.

“I heard, you delivered an article during a health seminar yesterday. Why is involving the family for cancer treatment so important?” ask the second examiner.

“Actually not only cancer. All illnesses need to involve the support of the patient's family. Why I raised about cancer, because this disease can not be predicted. A person can powerfully go through his pain when his spirit is so strong. But the moment he gave up, his body condition could deteriorate greatly. Even if a person is convicted of not being able to recover from cancer, it is very necessary to make sure the family is near them. So that when they leave, their souls can leave peacefully.”

The examiner lecturer only smiled at Kezia's reply. He seems quite satisfied.

“Alright, that's enough. From me, just want to hand this over. Come here..” said Prof Clifton.

Kezia walked over to prof Clifton. He handed me a blue map. Kezia opened it slowly.

“It...” Kezia's eyes widened in disbelief. The recommendation letter from the college was really in his hands.

“Yes, that's for you. Work well in any hospital you work.” said Prof Clifton, patting Kezia on the shoulder with pride. Kezia could not hide his happy look.

“Thank you prof, thank you very much.” Kezia shook the hands of the three people before him. His feeling was so relieved. He came out of the courtroom full of happiness.

That day, after the hearing, Fritz invited Kezia to lunch in the cafeteria for the last time. They ordered a large menu. Fritz recounted his tension during the trial and ended up with warm-handed posts from his three test lecturers.

“See what I got.” said Kezia while showing a letter of recommendation in his hand.

“Gosh! You really got it?!” Fritz was stunned in disbelief. Kezia nodded proudly while smiling. “Gila!! You are really great!” fritz was proud.

“Thank you fritz!” sahut kezia while keeping the file neatly.

“Have you thought about working at which hospital?” Fritz bribed the spaghetti in front of him.

“I'll think again later.” said Kezia who began to look upset.

“What's up?” Fritz began to notice Kezia's unusual facial features changing.

“I’m fine.” replied Kezia just by lip motion. Maybe his voice didn't come out because he wasn't telling the truth. Frankly, he is not okay. His eyes look red and teary.

Fritz immediately moved his seat beside Kezia.

“Cry if you really want to cry.” said Fritz with a warm look.

Suddenly Kezia hugged Fritz tightly. And cry so. All eyes were on Fritz. Fritz paid no attention to the gazes of those around him. His focus was only on Kezia, the girl who was etrisak in his arms.

He hid Kezia behind his body and covered it with a thick coat that he wore. Kezia a mouthful in his chest. For the first time Kezia hugged her tightly even crying before her.

“Ssttt Fritz tried to calm Kezia down by rubbing her back and the tip of her head.

“I miss them...” shush Kezia while sobbing.

Fritz smiled. She was relieved, Kezia was crying just because she missed the people she left behind. Fritz understood, 10 years is not a short time. Soaking longs and covering it with a cheerful face, must have really tormented Kezia. Fritz did not let go of his embrace. He let Kezia spend all his sadness, so that when Fritz looked at him, only a cheerful face would he see.

"You're stronger than you know the key.." said Fritz.
