Kopimatcha Chapter 2 — MEETS

Table of Contents

At first, Raga and Hana didn’t really know each other.

They were simply part of the same campus environment. They might have recognized each other’s faces, but they had never actually talked, not even once.

Hana was actually the first one to notice Raga.

It wasn’t anything serious. Raga was just one of those people she saw around campus quite often because of how active he was in organizations. And with the number of friends always surrounding him, it was pretty hard not to recognize him.

Hana simply noticed him.

She never went out of her way to look for him.

As for Raga?

Forget noticing Hana. At the time, he probably didn’t even really know who she was.

Until Dimas decided to get involved.

Dimas had always had a habit of teasing people. And for some reason, Hana became one of his favorite targets.

Whenever he saw Hana walking by, he might suddenly call out,

“Han!”

Hana turned around.

“What?”

Dimas simply smiled.

“Nothing.”

Hana frowned.

“What is it?”

Dimas laughed.

Raga, who happened to be nearby, didn’t pay much attention at first. But after it happened a few times, he eventually started getting curious.

“Dim, you know Hana?”

Dimas turned to him.

“Of course.”

“Who’s she?”

Dimas immediately gave him a mischievous look.

“Wait, you’re only finding out now?”

Raga frowned.

“What’s the big deal?”

“Nothing. I thought you already knew her.”

Raga didn’t answer.

He simply glanced toward Hana, who was already walking away.

So that was Hana.

For the first time, Raga actually made an effort to remember the name.

Not because anything significant had happened.

Simply because Dimas mentioned it way too often.

And the more Dimas teased Hana, the more Raga realized that, apparently, they had actually been in the same places quite a few times.

Still, there was no real reason for them to introduce themselves.

Until a campus event brought them together under slightly different circumstances.

That day, Raga was part of the medical team.

His job was simple. Stay on standby throughout the event and help anyone who needed medical attention.

The event was pretty crowded.

Raga was busy doing his job while the other students enjoyed themselves.

And somewhere in the middle of all that chaos, Hana was there too.

This time, Raga didn’t just catch a glimpse of her.

He knew exactly who he was looking at.

Hana.

Maybe for Hana, the moment didn’t mean much.

The same probably went for Raga.

They didn’t suddenly become close.

There was no long conversation.

No dramatic moment.

Nothing that suddenly made either of them fall for the other.

It was just that, from that day on, Raga became a little more aware that there was someone named Hana Keira Anindya around him.

And Hana had actually noticed Raga long before that.

Funny enough, they both knew of each other, but still didn’t really know each other.

Like two people who had been in the same room several times but had never had a reason to sit at the same table.

For now, that was enough.

Raga had his own things going on.

Hana had hers.

They were still walking along their own separate paths.

Only, without either of them realizing it, one name was slowly starting to catch someone’s attention.

Hana.

And one name had been noticed long before that.

Raga.
