A Couple Against

A Couple Against
ACCLIMATIZATION "All are not equal. prepare yourself for the inevitability"



Rama, a student class of 2008. his campus is one of the best campuses in the region, also a printer of many cum laude graduates; high school of management science,. has young people like Rama on the list of students, he said, maybe it's not what you want. From semester to semester, the Faculty continues to get protests for the sake of protests from its students, both to the bureaucracy and protests to lecturers in the classroom.


The choice of Rama who often resisted and refused to play safe, made him get a stamp as an icon of students urakan and not future, he said, also automatically make it an ungodly person to be made friends in the department of economics that people label it by name; bourgeois campus


October 2009


From mount Sindoro, after having time to the UKM theater to put a carrier and take a daypack containing lecture books, Rama went straight to PI and entered macro economics class. Once in class, Rama nailed his leg after passing through the door. One class saw Rama looking up at the clock on the wall. Under that clock, Bu Ani squinted her eyes.


Rama knew he exceeded the tolerance limit for class time, so he prepared himself to be quiet. There is no other choice, following the way Ani's mother plays is the only thing she can do in order to take classes.


"May I come to class, ma'am?" Rama decided to start a dialogue. Finally there is a word there. Not only Rama, the whole class is waiting for what will happen next, because let alone the notification of cell phones or the creaking of chairs, the sound of breathing even as if absolutely nothing.


"You want to go to college?" said Bu Ani with her thick cynical smile. His gaze moved Rama from head to toe. Gesture bu Ani, making anyone who was there aware that it was a kind of steady cocktail, which sooner or later would definitely be an attack that erupted from a person Rama called; feudal lecturers.


"You guys..." Ms. Ani is looking for class support. "this Rama wants to go to college what would a camper be?" the laughter of the entire class broke out, their tension relieved. Laughter for laughter supports Ani."Parents are hard-earned to make money for you in college, you are...."


"sorry, I went to college at my own expense" Rama interrupted.The class suddenly went back into silence. Can't, Bunga and Rais, the chairman and administrator of HMJ campus, came too late as well. With an obedient face asking for forgiveness, the two bowed their heads, asking for permission to attend class.


Indurasmi Flowers. Student from Bandung, through the achievement path he entered the campus in the same year with Rama, 2008. With a near-perfect index of achievement; 3.9, the campus is not mistaken for giving a full scholarship to the best person on campus. Contrary to Rama, Flowers are a popular portrait for many. Her beauty, cleverness, and obedience are the reasons why men, women, corporations, children, parents, and many others always want to approach her.


"continue if it's your own fee can go to college late, disheveled hair, necklaces, bracelets, torn pants, shirt not on the button, and all this ugliness of yours?" ani returned to Rama. He has become more and more since Rama dared to answer his statement. "and you can still say that you want to go to college?"


"Didn't you comment on my fingernails?" Rama decided to fight. He admitted his mistake about being late to class, but he did not accept other arguments outside of that. "if you want to dress me, so only the SD teacher, not the lecturer. because the lecture is a transfer of knowledge, so that the school will not be, not the formation of characters from SD to SMA. You have no right to shape my appearance!"


"you ! exit !" Bu Ani ran out of words.just expulsion of his mainstay when he felt stripped naked by his own students.


"How can you do that? you have no right to expel me just because my appearance is beyond the standard that can satisfy you. Can't.!"


"you are late. I have the right and the rule not to include you in class," said Bu Ani. this time he had risen from his seat, "get out !" rama is expelled from the class without any acceptable argument.


Rama out.class silence recreated a few moments.


not yet calm, the breath of Ani, suddenly Flower stood up and walked towards the door.he stood holding his steps in the same place as when he was begging to enter. The flower turned to the door, then bowed its body towards Bu Ani.


"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm late too, excuse me" said Bunga before he finally stepped out of class.
