honest with Dilan that I already have a boyfriend?” Milea is afraid that if she is honest, Dilan will
make her sad because she can’t have a pleasant chat anymore. And he also doesn’t want to tell beni
that someone is trying to get close to him. One day on Milea’s birthday, Nandan gave her a big
panda doll, Nandan gave it to class. Nandan said the reason he gave the doll is so that when he
sleeps, Milea can get hug him. Beni also came to Bandung to celebrate Milea’s birthday. Milea is
disappointed that Dilan did not wish her a happy birthday, even though she is sure that Dilan will call
at 00.00, to be the first to wish her a happy birthday.

Dilan comes to class to visit Milea. The package that Dilan brought was given to Milea, then shook
Milea’s hand “happy birthday Milea”. That day Milea’s heart was blooming, according to her what
