Then I turned my gaze to her while still eating the bread I held. I heard her explanation, her voice was very calm, soothing and reassuring - uh, I felt like I wanted to fall asleep because I heard her voice - anyone who heard her could fall asleep because of that sound.
"I saw you lying limp next to the toilet door, and then I took you to the UKS Room" he continued.
"Thank you for helping me" I said on the sidelines chewing the food he gave me.
"His face is unfamiliar, maybe I've never met him?" My inner
"It seems like I've never seen you on this campus" I said.
Because I never saw his face wandering around the Zervard campus, so I didn't know him.
"Include my name Romi Herton Haydn, call me Romi" he said, extending his hand to me.
I shook her hand "Alina Giraldo, call me Alin" I said, introducing myself.
"Maybe you've never seen me before, I'm a transfer student from Korea.My family moved to Sydney, because it followed my father who runs his company in Sydney" he explained.
I just nodded little. Continuing to eat some more bread that I still had not spent because it was cut off by his explanation.
"Will you be my best friend?" Asking successfully made me choke on the bread I was eating.
"Uhuk".uhuk" He immediately opened and poured mineral water on me.
I accepted it and gulped it down "I'm sorry" I said to her.
"Be careful" he said.
"How can anyone invite me to be friends? He was the first person to invite me to be friends, he didn't know that I was always the bully and student material on this campus" My inner self
"I'm sorry I can't" I answered without looking at him.
"Why? You don't want to be friends with me?" Ask with a changed face.
"E-eh t-no, that's not what I meant"
"Then?"
"I'm..."
"I don't deserve to be friends with you" I replied in a shrill voice.
"Why?" Ask again.
"Because I have always been the bully material on this campus" I replied with a voice that turned to wavy.
"I have no friends" I bowed my head.
"No problem, make friends with me, then you will have friends" he said with a fluffy smile.
I seemed to be thinking, would I accept his invitation to befriend me or not? He is someone I just met.
"okay! I want to be friends with you" My final smile then
ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ
"Dina!"
I'm the one walking out of class, because today's class is over. I stopped my footsteps, because from behind there was someone calling me. Looking back and I saw him smile at me, I replied with a wry smile. Romi ran a little to get to me.
"Do you understand the lesson?" Ask when it is in front of me.
Wanting me to not swallow my head to look at him, he was very tall.
"Oh so yes, I..m still do not understand" he said while scratching his head and a little down to be able to see me, his face was confused.She did not understand very well about the lesson earlier.
Because no response from me, Romi opened the conversation first "Can you teach me?" His face seemed to be begging, so I could not bear to refuse it. But, what about my job if I teach him.
"May" I answered while nodding my head.
The look on her face looked pleased as I asserted her question "When do you have time? Can it be now?" Ask again.
"Now? I-i..." Repeating the question again, I don't know what to answer? Maybe I have to take a day off first selling flowers, after all just one day, tomorrow I will sell it until–
"Can't ya?"
"Eh no, can ko" As fast as I can.
"Come on!" His face changed instantly. He took my hand and grasped it, I was strangled by his treatment that suddenly took my hand past the students and sororities in the corridor. I didn't let go, I don't know it felt so comfortable, papah just never took me like this.
Oh shit, I remember papah back.

"Where's your house?" Ask when they get to the small and tenement house.
We - me and Romi - got in Romi's car to get to my contract, it was a nice car, like the guy who bought my flowers with Tusya's sister, but it's better.
Pointing to one of the smallest tenement houses "This is my home. Uh no, I mean my contract" I replied.
He frowned, "I-this?" Ask again. Maybe he didn't trust her, because the contract was very small and some of the wood was already fragile.
I gave a small nod while smiling awkwardly "Sorry, yes,"
She immediately looked at me and shook her head while smiling clumsily "E-eh, no, emm I mean it's okay"
I understand it, maybe what filled my mind was why I was able to attend a prestigious campus in Sydney, while I was only contracted in a small contract.
Take the contract key in my uniform and open it "Let's go in" I said as I opened the contract door and entered it. He followed me behind and got into the contract.
Enter and sit on the floor that is not grounded, even the ceramics are already there are holes and cracks everywhere. I feel bad for her "Sorry yes, I–"
"No need to apologize, you're innocent, why apologize" Romi interrupted my unresolved remarks while sitting his body on the floor, then removed the bag from his back.
"Do you want a drink?" I asked and answered a small nod from him.
"How can you?" Romi muttered after Alin's departure from his presence. His eyes continued to surround all the details of Alin's contract that seemed unfit for habitation.
"This" Gave him a glass of plain water. He took it and drank it, and put the glass right next to him.
I sat next to him "Which part do you not understand?" Ask him.
Take out the books in his bag "This" he said after opening a textbook that he had not yet understood.
We were one class, he majored in business management. To this day I still wonder why he could easily move from his old school to Sydney? Isn't that so troublesome? Moreover, this is already the last semester.Entah, maybe this is just a coincidence he is one Department with me.He is good, even very good, I am grateful to have a friend like him.

"Do you still not understand?" My toot.
The time has now shown at 5 PM. We studied long enough - oh no, I didn't learn, I taught him - all I caught from him was, he was a smart guy and caught well what I explained to him. Maybe in the class earlier, he lacked concentration to pay attention to the explanation of the lecturer.
"Understand, but there's a little I don't understand yet, I'll learn more at home" she replied smiling at me, very sweet. Put back the books he has learned with me into his bag.
