A Couple Against

NIGHT, IN THE FLOWER ROOM

‘In your loneliness you threw at me’ the words of Rama followed Flowers into his room. Many times Bunga refused to think about what Rama said last afternoon about the two things that should be Flowers

do it tonight. Only, many times Bunga said no, many times the words of Rama increasingly mastered the night.

And Bunga gave up as well, he began to open a conversation with himself. ‘What exactly is my and Rama's fault with Bu Ani?’.

Flowers did not find the answer. He felt that there was no mistake he made. Also Rama. Bunga thought, Rama was expelled from the class because his mountain clothes were not liked by Bu Ani. Then Rama fought it with the argument that it was not Bu Ani's right to form the character and what clothes students should wear. Then Bu Ani kicked him out on the grounds that Rama was late to class. Flowers are also late, even exceeding their late

Rama, decide to get out of class too. An attitude that when viewed objectively is actually quite fair.

“It's been right that Rama and I did. I'm trying to be fair, right? I'm obeying the rules that Bu Ani

create,” says Flowers alone.

Bunga felt that all this was more of a sentiment dramatized by Bu Ani to be a problem, which of course

as a lecturer in PI, can not not not, the lecturer is always the winner. It is only natural that if someone like Rama decides to fight, he is finished. At that time Rama so remember the words Soe Hok Gie quoted Rama in his blog; Guru is not a god who is always right, and the student is not a buffalo who always wrong considering the quote, given the quote, Flowers so remember about Rama's blog. In more detail, Bunga remembers; Burn your GPA sheet and read the book outside of that one, open your eyes, heart, mind, then we talk what love is and wisdom. Flowers move to his computer, some keywords he launched into the google search engine. At first he did it merely to fulfill the defense demand within him if he were tomorrow

meet and have to go back noisily with Rama, but the longer, the surfing flower the farther. ‘Cinta’ and ‘Wise’ finally got her stranded on an island called ‘Socrates’.

Socrates, the most influential philosopher in the world.

An attitude person who is considered irritating to many people in the environment and its time.

Socrates was not like any other man who felt knowledgeable. He was not patronizing, he just asked and replied

the words people threw at him. Socrates does not attack, he makes the person who attacks him feel attacked himself with a logical response and can not

it is denied by anyone who uses his common sense. Socrates ‘humiliate’ many people argue. The uniqueness of his way of presenting philosophical truths made the Athenian higher ups unsettled who first set the standard for truths. 399 BC. Socrates was found guilty. It is considered

undermining the order and beliefs of the people about the existing gods. Socrates felt he had done nothing wrong. Socrates suggests that what he has been saying is something that comes from conscience and can be

accepted with any common sense.

Socrates could have chosen to ask for mercy and left Athens, only to have remained there

to defend conscience/righteousness. Socrates died after being forced to drink fir poison by Athenian judges. Socrates—a name that was finally mentioned by all the people of Athens when asked, “who is the wisest man?” Like the previous nights, dissolved flowers traverse

the answer to everything he read. He found Rama's intention; the Flower must listen to his conscience and his common sense of what is

wrong with him to Bu Ani.

It's almost 3 in the morning. Flowers that are basically not used to being awake that late, finally tired and asleep

on his computer desk.

The number of thoughts, often sleep late at night, and irregular, recent diet, makes the flower feel unwell. That morning, Bunga woke up at exactly ten. At the same time, on campus, Bu Ani's macroeconomics classes

Flowers are ongoing. ‘Mati!’ inner Flower. It's not panic. Without a bath, the flower wet his face. Grabbing a book, wearing yesterday's jeans, a t-shirt, and grabbing her flannel shirt. He pushed his feet into his shoes and set off as fast as he could to campus.

Arriving at the campus, he continued running from the basement parking lot to the third floor. His head was getting dizzy, on his way

he really felt his body was not healthy. At ten over twenty-five, the Flower pecked at the door

classs. He forgot his complaints about his health. His head was full of questions and panic. Twenty five late

the minute is a red ink in the history of his studies. Damn again, this is Bu Ani's class. His mind was fighting about the choice to go forward grabbing the hilt

the door and enter, or retreat. The flowers did not move until the phone rang. A message came in from Rais.

“You where?” rais said in the Flower phone.

“You?” Flowers don't understand what ‘kalian’ means

in Rais's question.

“You; where are you and Rama?” reply Rais again.

‘Perfect. Die me,’ Inner Flower. His eyes were empty. His body squeezed for a moment. Apparently Rama did not enter the class either. Flowers could not imagine what was on his comrades' minds about the circumstances that were beyond his plan. Especially Ms. Ani. After ‘pair against’, there will be an expression of what else he gave to Bunga and Rama who skipped college together.

The choice to make all of that not happen actually exists, that is, Flowers have to go to class. Only, it was the same as the Flower

being the first dumbest student who dared to enter the class Bu Ani after now he was almost thirty minutes late.

The dizziness in his head became more and more. The flower bows its feet away from the door. The phone just delivered

the message from Rais had not yet come down from the hands of Bunga. His mind was still full and confused when he finally delivered his body

sit in a long chair near a locker on the side of the class.

“See what you did to me,” wirred Flowers talk,

I don't know who. Because he was not feeling well, Bunga intended to go home.

Trying to avoid friends and HMJ's room, Bunga went home through the door near the park. Bunha meets with

Peeing on the road to the park. ‘Has comforted, pity dapet calamity,’ said Pissing while pointing at a man who from a distance Flower saw him sitting alone in a nearby park

library building.

‘Rama?’ inner Flower.

Not reading books, not listening to music, Rama sat alone in the garden near the perpus. His eyes were dim, his body

he breathed out the smoke for a moment and without rhythm.

“Why not just cry,” Bunnga's instinct of love and tenderness comes out instantly. He greeted Rama who clearly looked very

from the looks of it, anyone who knows Rama must know, something heavy is happening to the man kretek addict.

“Everyone cries when sad, and it doesn't exist

it has to do with someone's strength. You are not immediately 'th

lose your maleness when crying,” said Bunga again.

“Everyone cries when sad?” ask Rama. He looked towards the flower. Rama smiled, his eyes were puffed up and

red looks at the flowers from hair to shoes. The flower nodded, this time even sitting on the bench

next Rama.

“When are you sad and crying?” ask Rama.

“Many. I cried when I was scolded by Dad, I got bad grades too I cried, when I was hurt by my lover too

crying, Bu Ani case also I cry,” Flowers smile familiarize themselves. “I'm a girl, I cry a lot. When I am sad I cry.” Bunga explained while shaking his legs to keep feeling relaxed.

Both were silent for a moment. The leaves in the garden fall filling the gap between them.

“Fake,” says Rama restored his conversation.

“False?” Repeating flowers.

“On the road there are houses evicted, at the station there are merchants expelled, on the bridge there are small children starved, there are small children,

on the mountain there is garbage scattered, on Facebook and Youtube there are brothers pitted against sheep and war, you are not sad to see it all?” ask Rama. Flowers stop the swaying of his legs.

“What do you mean?” Flowers turn their heads towards Rama.

“I mean, yes it is, you are not sad to see it all?”

“Iya sad. Then?” bunga replied while still wondering in his heart what exactly Rama meant to ask that.

“Then did you cry?” said Rama.

Flowers heard him.

“Most likely you are probably the same as most people,” said Rama again. “That you admit to feeling sad

but not crying seeing all that. You and most people only cry when you are hurt, betrayed, or anything else

the bad ones happen to you.”

“What do you want to tell me exactly?” Flowers began to be uncomfortable even though he had changed the location of his seat many times.

“People are not fair. Not really feeling sad about a lot of things. Unless something happens to him then they really feel sad, then cry. What's more selfish than those people. People pretend. Including when sad, they do not really feel it,” continued Rama.

The flower offended and spontaneously left Rama.

“I must be ashamed of life, if you feel sad and can cry when you are hurt but fine to see all the sad mistakes in the world,” continued Rama.

“Maybe true..” said Bunga while holding back for a moment his steps, “you are sick, Rama.” he continued before leaving quickly.

“Maybe true..,” says Rama alone. “Soe HokGie's. Can love, can pity, can feel sorrow. Without it all then we are nothing more than objects,” ‘Goodbye, Mbah. Say hello to you there, saying, I will keep my promise. I will graduate,’ Inner Rama who is sad because the grandmother who took care of him from childhood died today.

Days pass. News about the behavior of ‘not worth’ Bunga with Rama spread more widely and became a fun topic for gossip in the cafeteria and student arena. In addition to the expression ‘Pair against’ which headlines, whether who took it, photos of Flowers and Rama sitting side by side in the garden of the porpus

become an image that attracts a lot of attention in the mading and weekly newsletter of SME Journalism campus.Besides his increasingly unhealthy body, over all that happened, over all that happened, Flowers found it impossible to give logical arguments to seniors and HMJ members. Flowers choose to escape the campus world and rest themselves. College and

two meetings he did not attend.

The opportunity was used by several ‘enemy’; both Rama's enemies on campus were enemies of Bunga in HMJ to coup and voice the issue to force Sekar to resign from the position of chairman of HMJ.

While Rais and Meli who he hoped could provide him with moral support even participated in cornering him through the word and

implied or implied behavior. The flower fell unconscious in the hospital as she was only intending to just check and ask for a prescription. ‘Typhus,’ says doctor.

For her sake, Bunga was forced to stay and take care of a few days. During those days, none of my friends

Flowers know about her condition.

Before Bunga finally decided to turn off his cell phone, in fact, Bunga was not really alone. He is often given attention, greetings, and enthusiasm by some HMJ colleagues

and another friend. Merely, the Flower feels all just base-stale. Not everyone really cares, especially most of them

they are men, who Bunga knows all have an interest in him, whether it's romance, study, or position

HMJS. There is no love, according to the flower.

In addition to a high GPA, Bunga realized that the potential in her was in her position and beauty. The flower feels that any man will surely do that; paying attention, stealing opportunities in narrowness to get close and

I wish I was considered a hero. Only, as delicate as his fears and as soon as Flowers were, his little heart could still say no to hypocrisy. And now, there was no other choice he could hear but his own conscience. Flowers are ready if the decision is the same as meaning Flowers must be lonely.
