New Friend

At this time, Aveesa was already on the plane to Shanghai, and the girl was indeed studying at a university in Shanghai majoring in Communication because she was very talented in this matter. Moreover, her profession is also a writer on an online platform based in Hong Kong. So when her lectures went online due to the current pandemic, she lived close to Jiangwu, who currently lives in Hong Kong, close to Aveesa's office.

After traveling for an hour, Aveesa has arrived at the airport in Shanghai, and currently, she is in a taxi. After traveling for half an hour, Aveesa has now arrived at the hotel near her campus. She will meet her guardian lecturer tomorrow and collect her assignment, while currently, she has to complete her work as a writer who should fulfill a few thousand words a day to earn an income. Aveesa immediately checked in at the hotel, and at this time, she immediately took a bath with warm water because it was already eight o'clock at night.

"Huuaaahhh," Aveesa yawned because last night she stayed up late with her new friend whom she knew from cyberspace. Aveesa has just created a new account to make it easier to find readers for her books. Aveesa is now lying on her bed while opening her cellphone. She widens her eyes when she sees the notification on her cellphone, the account she just created already shows a very fantastic number for those who add friends to her account. Aveesa then smiled to herself. "Just a fake photo that I put on my new account they have gone crazy like this. What if I put my real photo. Surely they will get even crazier." Aveesa said to herself.

She is currently selecting several people to send her friend requests. Even though she is now looking for readers, she also doesn't want to arbitrarily agree to the person who will be her friend. Aveesa began to confirm one by one her new friends, who were primarily male. When she looked at the message request on her messenger, she saw that there was a reasonably polite person asking for her account to be confirmed. Aveesa then decided to accept the orange friend request named Pay. Aveesa was then immersed in the virtual world serving the men who sent her friend requests. Aveesa is currently chatting with Pay.

"How come it's not confirmed..." Pay asked. Aveesa then answered half-jokingly on the sidelines of her work on writing an English novel. "Oh want to confirm?" Aveesa asked while sending a laughing expression. "Hehe... yes. Thanks in advance." said Pay in the chat. Aveesa feels he is a good person. Aveesa is very sensitive, and she will discern what is good and what is not. Aveesa resumed writing when her cell phone rang again. "Are you from East Java?" asked Pay in the chat. Aveesa smiled and then replied to the pay chat which Aveesa thought was very cool. She felt that she had an older brother at this time. "No." Aveesa replied, to which Pay immediately replied. "Then which person are you?" asked Pay again. Aveesa then replied that she was Indonesian. "Weewww." reply chat Pay. Aveesa felt this man was good, so she then told the truth.

"I'm from West Java, Bandung to be exact. It's just that right now I live in Hong Kong. So you won't be curious anymore." Aveesa replied while laughing to herself, still with her hands dancing on her laptop keyboard. "How come the office deck is so far away, that means you have never returned to Indonesia, right?" asked Pay in the chat. "I'm here studying while working, Brother, so I won't go home if I haven't graduated." replied Aveesa again. "Wiihhh great, good luck huh..." Pay replied in the chat again. Aveesa felt this person was very cool at this time could make her feel happy when she was in a hotel room alone. "What's your job, Dek?" asked Pay in the chat. Aveesa again smiled and replied back to what was asked by pay and said that he was just a freelancer by writing a book. Pay also replies that everything is okay as long as it's halal. Aveesa is a tiny girl wearing a hijab in the midst of the majority of the non-Muslim population in Hong Kong.

Aveesa continued her work, and after twelve o'clock Shanghai time she finished, but Aveesa was a late-night sleeper. She then immediately opened a channel that showed her favorite C drama film and made it a story on her new account. Incidentally, Pay still hasn't slept and sees Aveesa's story and teases her again. "Ciee in love, watch the love-loving movie." tease Pay in the chat. Aveesa smiled and dodged what Pay was accused of. She said that she was currently looking for references for the book she was working on.

"The reason you're a dek, just say you're falling in love..." Pay teased again. They soon became friends even though at this point they only knew each other and might never even meet. Pay greatly benefits Aveesa, who is currently lonely. He accompanied Aveesa until finally, Aveesa fell asleep by herself. The night passed well after Aveesa lay down and fell asleep with her laptop and cell phone still on. While Pay could only shake his head while chatting, Aveesa never replied to him until the morning came.

In the morning, Aveesa immediately did her morning prayer and got ready to go to her campus. Previously Aveesa had called Jiangwu to pick her up because she was airsick. Aveesa then waited for hours to meet her lecturer while re-opening her chat last night with Pay, who kept asking her questions. Oh yes, there is another person who, even though he just met, made Aveesa comfortable. His name is Wishnu, he also seems to want to get to know Aveesa more closely.
