Sinta put her foot straight towards the long bench, no spirit. His face was as if he was not energetic. In his hand were two papers, white paper and yellow paper. The yellow paper for the courses he had to live in the second semester and the white paper the semester leave application form.
It was a difficult choice for Sinta to choose both papers. Sinta wants to choose the yellow paper, but his current finances are really lacking. The money his father sent him was not enough for college, to eat less. When Sinta complains to her mother, the answer is due to crop failure. Even the end cannot say anything more.
Sinta was now sitting on a long bench. This place, less attractive to students because it is located at the end of the Faculty of Economics and near the bathroom. The pungent smell from the direction of the bathroom makes this place often empty. Sinta was forced to go to this place to avoid her friends. Sinta doesn't want her friends to worry. And of course Sinta felt inferior. His best friends are real city people and never complain about finances. While he almost every day must think hard to save money that is not how much he has.
Sinta looked at the two papers in turn, it was heavy to fill out the leave application form. But inevitably, with a heavy heart Sinta filled out the form. Sinta wants to find a job and raise money.
Sinta, an 18-year-old country girl, has decided to fight in this big city. Looking for a job to sustain life and gratitude can be all college. If not, Sinta plans to work first and raise money. Then just continue college. That plan was already one week in his brain. Work and holidays are better than giving up and going home. For education and life improvement. Sinta was willing to suffer first. A proverb that says Be sick first, have fun later. Become the motto of Sinta at this time. Sinta believed, after her struggle. Sinta can even live a good life and make her family happy, especially her parents.
I don't know when the arrival arrived someone has sat to the right of Sinta. Sinta looked over and was surprised. Mr. Andre Bramasta one of his lecturers smiled at him. Sinta smiled clumsyly to return the smile of the lecturer.
"Wait someone?" asked Mr. Andre while observing the yellow paper held by Sinta.
"No sir."
"Why are you alone here? you're not afraid, this place is deserted."
Sinta fell silent, only looking at Mr. Andre at a glance and then opened his backpack intending to save the two papers. Sinta looks very awkward. Moreover, Andre is famous for cold-faced lecturers, time discipline and stingy giving value.
"Would you like a vacation, huh?" asked Mr. Andre while taking the paper from Sinta's hand. Sinta nodded clumsyly.
"Why?"
"The plan is I want to work first sir, just continue college" replied Sinta lowered her head and embarrassed. He did not want to share his grief with others let alone one of the lecturers on this campus. But it's already been. Sinta has revealed the reason for the leave. And strangely not to his best friend. Precisely to the famous lecturer cold.
"If you want, I can give you your work and your lecture is not disturbed."
"Really sir? what work sir?" ask Sinta with sparkling eyes. Mr. Andre nodded and put the pennies of the fibers near Sinta. The awkward feeling that had been seen was now lost replaced with a happy hue.
"We meet at two o'clock at the jasmine cafe on Xxx street. Use this money to take a taxi. It's not good to see another student if you get in my car."
"Okay, thank you sir. I go straight to the road now" replied Sinta excitedly. Sinta bowed his respect to the lecturer. Andre smiled and stepped away from Sinta. Sinta was very happy. Getting a job without applying makes Sinta feel lucky.
After an hour's drive, Sinta has arrived at the jasmine Cafe. The cafe is a little far from campus. This cafe is close to the office building and it is certain that its customers are office employees.
The cafe waiter delivered Sinta to the table ordered by Mr. Andre. Mr. Andre had been waiting for about ten minutes. The atmosphere of the cafe is very quiet there are only a few customers, because it is already working hours that customer has gone out.
Now there is only Sinta and Mr. Andre in the cafe in the corner. Andre deliberately chose the place to avoid their conversation if at any time there are customers who come.
" We'll eat first, O, what's your name?" ask Mr. Andre. His eyes fixed on Sinta's face. Feeling stared at Sinta looking down embarrassed. Andre moved his hand to call the servant who was not far from the seat.
"Love sir."
" What message do you want?"
"I'm still full, you just eat" Sinta replied rather nervously. Actually, Sinta was very hungry but she hesitated to eat alone with her own lecturer. Mr. Andre glanced at Sinta at a glance, then wrote down his order in the menu book and gave it to the waiter who was already standing beside their table.
Sinta was very nervous and felt awkward while Mr. Andre casually played his phone. Sinta is still thinking and guessing in her heart what work Mr. Andre will offer. Sinta willing if the job offered by Mr. Andre is only to wash dishes like in this cafe. Whatever it is Sinta is willing to be the important halal.
The waiter came and put the fried rice and orange juice ordered by Mr. Andre. Sinta was surprised, it turned out that Mr. Andre ordered fried rice and orange juice as well for him.
"Eat!. It's past lunchtime" Mr. Andre said. Sinta also according to , eat in silence and sometimes nervous. Sometimes Sinta glanced at Mr. Andre. There was a sense of admiration in his heart. Mr. Andre is handsome and handsome and still young as well. If it is estimated that his age has not even thirty. Sinta looked around the cafe, there were only the two of them. Sinta is afraid that there are students in her campus who recognize her and Mr. Andre. Fear of bad rumors.
"Not to be afraid, no one recognizes us here" said Mr. Andre as he placed the spoon. Sinta nodded.
"Already sir," said Sinta after finishing her juice.
"What has it been?"
"Eat it Sir," replied Sinta innocently while showing her already empty plate. Andre's gaze that was originally fixed now Sinta's face was now staring at the empty plate.
"How's the food?. Yummy?" ask Andre.
"Nake sir."
"Thank God you could enjoy that meal. I've seen you always nervous" said Mr. Andre with a smile. His eyes were still fixed on Sinta's face. Realizing the lecturer's gaze. Sinta tried to calm down.
"Sir, about his work if I may know. What work sir?" tanya Sinta was polite and somewhat scared. His hands were a little sweaty, waiting for Mr. Andre's reply.
"So My Deposits," replied Mr. Andre.
"What Sir?" sinta asked in surprise and shouted a little so that the cashier near the exit heard and turned to them. Sinta really did not expect if the job offered by Andre was to be the teacher's own savings. Sinta was offended and felt she had no self-respect. Sinta picked up her bag and got up from her seat. Mr. Andre who had seen Sinta gelagat came to stand and then held Sinta's hand.
"Sit down first, you won't hurt me. Listen to my explanation first" said Mr. Andre calmly. Sinta was furious to want to slap his lecturer. Sinta threw Mr. Andre's hand and intended to leave but again Mr. Andre held him.
"Tomorrow the tuition payment limit, I will not force but think about what your reason for taking a leave of absence from college. I'll finance your life and your college until it's over. I'll also buy you a house and your parents will have to lose weight."
Sinta remembered about her parents in the village. Their lives are very simple just rely on fields whose results are uncertain. His sister needs school too. His intention to go to college in the city was strongly opposed by his parents because of the cost. Her parents had to owe her there debt here to send her money . Mr. Andre took advantage of Sinta's weakness to accept his offer.
But for a stash?, it never crossed Sinta's mind. He imagines working in a supermarket or restaurant. And now he's offered to be his lecturer's mistress. Sinta sat back in her chair.
"Where is my offer?" ask Andre
"But it's a sin sir" Sinta's great-grandson softly.
"We can marry Siri, I also do not want to sin," replied Mr. Andre lightly.
"But why should I sir?" ask Sinta slowly.
" Yes, because you need the money, right? so we're mutually beneficial."
" How about my family?"
" They cannot know and no one should know including your family and friends. This we keep secret. How's it?"
" I'll think about it sir" replied Sinta
"My offer is only today and this hour so please think now" replied Mr. Andre Relaxed and firmly.
Sinta. He wanted to refuse but he really needed the money now. Tomorrow's the tuition payment limit. If you are looking for a job, you cannot immediately get it. Ah Sinta was hesitant. So Mr. Andre's mistress and siri's marriage. Sinta was also doubtful.
There had been ten minutes Sinta was silent and lowered her head. Sinta has not yet made a decision. Stiffened in his heart to go home alone, but considering Aunt Fira the mouth of the bucket his heart again hesitated. Mr. Andre looked at his watch and got up from his seat.
"You shut up, I take it as a rejection" said Mr. Andre about to pass.
"Wait for you sir." Sinta said while holding Mr. Andre's hand. "I want to" said Sinta slowly. Mr. Andre smiled and rubbed Sinta's head.
"Come!, come with me."
