Aliyah arrives at the factory at 5:00 a.m. for a quick free meal at the canteen, then her work will start at 6:00 a.m.

While eating her breakfast, Aliyah receive the message of Atif.

“How are you? The reason why I didn’t reply to your message is I accidentally met a girl that catches my interest and she and I had dinner this evening. I’ll drive her to her home for her car got a problem. I’ll just arrived at home,” Atif explain to Aliyah.

Aliyah don’t know what to say.

“I don’t want to bother you with this but because you are my friend I just want to share it to you. I really like her and she likes me too.” Aliyah receive another message from Atif.

For a while, Aliyah don’t want to answer the chat of Atif because she feel a little bit jealous.

And she can see it coming, the time that she can’t anymore talk or chat to Atif if Atif find a girlfriend.

Aliyah knew it is for sure.

But in the end Aliyah can’t just ignore Atif for she consider him as a friend even they just met in social media and never meet in person.

Aliyah decided to reply before she go to her working place.

“Good for you. What is her name?” Aliyah asked.

“Nea “Atif replied.

“Nice name. I make a wish for you, hope it will come true. That you will really find the right woman for you whom you can marry so that you can have your own family you’ve dreaming of.” Aliyah replied.

That’s what she said even though she feel sad at the moment for she see that she will lose Atif if that wish will come true.

“Thank you. You know I’m planning to retired at 35 years old so that if I will have a family I will devote my time to them. That’s why I’m working hard this time to save money.” Atif replied.

“That’s good. The woman that you will choose to be your girlfriend will be so lucky to have you.” Aliyah replied.

“How can you say that? I’m a man who’s not easy to handle for I choose my career over relationship.” Atif said.

“Really? But she is still lucky for you are capable of supporting the needs if you have a family. Aside from that you are responsible and hard-working. “Aliyah replied.

Atif smile when he read the message of Aliyah. He is flatter on what Aliyah said.

“Thanks if that’s what you think of me.” Atif replied.

“Anyway. I talk to you later. Goodnight.” Aliyah wants to end their conversation for the time is near 6:00 a.m.
