The day passed until it was time for a rest. Professor Vega just finished teaching and arrived at her room. Not long after, he received a message from Martin Lucas.
“I was in the studio today from the afternoon on, Vega.” Martin replied. Previously, Professor Vega asked Martin if he would work in his studio.
“What’s time?” Vega confirmed Martin’s timing.
“From four in the afternoon until eight in the evening,” Martin replied.
“How about tomorrow?” Vega inquired about Martin’s availability.
“I won’t work in the studio. I will work on Thursday from seven in the morning until ten in the morning. From Friday to Sunday, I am going to have an event.” Martin explained.
“Well. I’ll to go there today.” Vega mentioned her plan.
“Okay. I’ll wait for you!” Martin replied.
After that, Vega clenched her fists and supported her chin with her fists.
“Oh! Can Alberto accompany me to the studio today? I’m afraid, Alberto can’t,” complained Vega in her heart.
“That’s enough! I’ll just look for Alberto and ask Alberto first!” thought Vega.
Vega immediately stood up from her chair. Then, she came out of her room. She immediately started looking for Alberto.

Meanwhile, during break, Alberto immediately took his lunchbox and he walked from his classroom to outside the classroom. He saw a lot of empty benches. Alberto immediately sat on the bench and opened his lunch box.
He immediately ate rice and fried eggs with gusto. Suddenly, he saw Professor Vega pass in front of him.
Professor Vega’s face looked very tense. Professor Vega’s sharp gaze at him replaced her smile, and Professor Vega bowed his head.
Professor Vega’s face looked like there was a big problem. Alberto didn’t know what the problem was that made Vega’s mood so bad.
“Good morning, Professor Vega!” greeted Alberto in a friendly manner, which made Professor Vega look at him and Professor Vega found Alberto there. Alberto tried to calm down so Professor Vega wouldn’t get mad at him.
“Good morning, Alberto!” After that, Professor Vega sat beside Alberto.
“Alberto, what time are you coming home this afternoon?”
“Four o’clock.” Alberto mentioned the time he came home.
“Please, wait for me until five o’clock in the afternoon! Okay?” Vega inquired spoiltly.
“What’s for, Professor?” Alberto furrowed his brows, because it was unusual for Vega to ask Alberto to wait for him.
Vega immediately raised his index finger and placed it in front of his mouth. “Hush! Don’t talk loud!”
“We want to make preparations for our marriage. This afternoon, after college, we plan to do a dress fitting and buy a ring.” Vega explained why Alberto had to wait for her.
“Okay.”
“But where will I wait?” Alberto was at a loss as to where he should wait later.
“Just in front of my room,” suggested Vega.
Hearing Vega’s words, Alberto immediately felt confused and shocked. His eyes immediately bulged. He also furrowed his brow.
“Huh? Why are you standing in front of your room? What must I say if a student in charge of your subject asks me?”
“Just say that. You are called by me and asked to wait. Then you say that you don’t understand why.” Vega gave him advice.
“Okay.”
After class, Alberto went straight to Professor Vega’s room. Arriving at Professor Vega’s room, he immediately sat down.
Not long after, his phone rang. He immediately looked at his phone and saw that there was a picture sent by Professor Vega. He immediately opened the picture, which turned out to contain the conversation between Professor Vega and Evan.
Vega: [Hello, Evan! For my future wedding with Alberto, I want to use Auntsar Catering. Do you have the contact information for someone who works at Auntsar Catering?]
Evan: [Yes, I have. For the building and decorations, do you have any plans for where to go and what type of decorations you will use?]
Vega: [I’m planning on asking for your advice. We want it in a greenhouse with luxurious decorations like this.]
Underneath, Vega sent photos of wedding decorations that Vega and Alberto wanted.
Vega: [Do you have any suggestions? Where’s the place?]
Evan: [I have a friend who was working there.]
Vega: [Can I ask for the contact information and the price?]
Then, Evan texted his friend’s phone number.
Evan: [Later, I’ll ask for the price!]
Evan: [Oh. By the way, coincidentally, the catering, building, and decoration teams will come in at the Avenue Hotel wedding expo on Saturday from ten in the morning to four in the afternoon. If you want, you can just go there and attend the event later! You can try the foods and drinks there and consult there.]
Vega: [Okay.]
Below the photo is the message Vega just sent. “So, can you come with me on Saturday at ten in the morning?”
Alberto immediately thought. “Oh! I’ve agreed to have a date with Lorena on Saturday. Why does Vega even offer me to go on Saturday? What should I do?”
“That’s enough! Just cancel for a date with Lorena on Saturday instead, Vega will be upset!” Alberto pondered at the time.
“I think I can. Luckily, there’s no class on Saturday. Hopefully, no impromptu classes, Vega. You know, lecturers like to hold classes on the spur of the moment,” Alberto responded.
“Yes. Hopefully!” said Vega, full of optimism.
Afterwards, Alberto texted Lorena, “Hello, honey! I’m sorry, I think we can’t have a date on Saturday!”
“Why? “Are you cheating?” Lorena was angry.
“I have a need for Professor Vega to improve my grades because my grades are really bad, honey!” Alberto tried to make excuses.
“With Professor Vega? There must be something that you are trying to hide from me!” asked Lorena probingly because she sensed that something was wrong.
“No, Honey! Indeed, my grades are really bad. You know, I’m not good at human anatomy and human physiology, right?” Alberto complained.
“Yes, Honey. I know. It’s okay. Good luck!” answered Lorena.
Then, Alberto continued to wait for Professor Vega while doing his assignment. Time passed until Professor Vega didn’t realize that he had walked into his room again while calling Alberto’s name.
“Alberto!” called Professor Vega, which made Alberto look at Professor Vega.
“Yes, Professor.”
“Come on! Let’s go!” asked Professor Vega.
