College Or College Ah?

(Andreas told the story)

Andreas's point of view....

This is my story when I first met him..

Raina... I just saw his first name.. He was quite tall, his skin was quite white, his hair was a brownish-colored boat and his eyelids were a big brown.

When I crossed paths with Raina, her eyes looked terrified to see me. Either because he knows that I'm komdis or because he is introverted and has a closed attitude.

Since the first day of his class began active college, his name and his two friends are no stranger to my ears. According to Dhika and my other friends, she and her two friends are quite beautiful and attractive maru.

The three of them are often the target of ignorance of my class of female friends to just make them distress during the cadre. For example, ask them to sing before introductions or have them pigtail two of their hair on evaluation day.

I also did not escape the plan to test Raina mentally during the question and answer session in the room with my division. As much as possible I pushed Raina to dare to issue her argument. It turns out that "Lumayan is also the content of his speech" my mind.

I once passed him in front of the lab, he turned out to be careless and innocent. Most of my friends in class, idolized Hanifa who was the most beautiful among the three. All my friends instantly shrieked when they found out Hanifa already had a boyfriend hahaha. I'm not the typical one who's attracted to women in one look.

Our first eye meeting on campus somehow became something that was quite memorable for me. Looking at her faint face and trembling hands.

"Sorry, can you contact me?" he said while trying to ask for my bio.

"What's the introduction for?" tanyaku intend to prick him.

"Create the contents of the introductory form in the cadre book" he replied plainly.

Most of her friends asked for introductions in order to get to know her sisters, but Raina coldly replied "to the contents of the form in the book" which made my friends who heard her answer hold their laughter.

Many of my classmates asked for Raina's number on the grounds of "doang". But, my position as the Chief of the Commission was quite advantageous this time, since I could ask my friends in the organization to keep the three children's biodata a secret. (Hanifa, Arika and Raina)

Raina's group was guided by two ensembles that were also under my division. Every now and then I ask for information about Raina from them. Actually I'm not at all sure about how I feel about Raina, but this kid's face always seems annoying.

I felt guilty when my division gave Raina the wrong lunchbox, just then Raina fainted right in front of me. Even I watched as his eyes rolled as if he was losing control. Whether there was any worry stabbing me from which direction, my body was pushed just like that by voluntarily running to reach it. My hands held her body before falling to the ground.

My anger was unstoppable when I found out the problem that was the cause of Raina's drop at that time. My sisters also dared to argue that I was the first to blame if something happened to Raina.

Many times I peeked at her condition from the window of the Hall. I also ordered the frame to remain beside Raina. After I read her data form, Raina turned out to have problems with the stomach and to my knowledge people with stomach disorders avoid eating bananas at certain times.

I can't blame my division frontally, because Raina is also guilty of not writing down in detail what foods she shouldn't eat. At that time I just hoped Raina would be okay.

A few minutes passed...

I heard that Raina had come to her senses, I finally decided to have a limited meeting and briefing before the event in the Hall where Raina was resting. I don't mean to bother Raina, I just want to have a reason to talk to Raina in person.

Doni, Dhika and Lingga understood my feelings at that time. They left us both in the Hall, and called Raina's window for a briefing outside. At that time Raina's eyes still did not look fresh. Her facial skin also looks deathly pale, it seems like Raina still has to rest.

"Are you good?" my many.

"Yes you are good" he replied.

He also strengthened himself by saying that usually the reaction of his body is not this way even when he ate a banana until it is exhausted.

I rushed out after I thought he was uncomfortable when I had to talk in person. Raina's eyes always looked down, as if afraid to face me.

"De, is it in your eyes that I'm a bad person?" my question is in my heart.

At that time I asked him to pick up his parents, and I wanted to show my sense of responsibility to Father and Mother by apologizing for the carelessness of my division. Then he asked his father to pick him up after this religious study event.

During the Awarding session...

Raina's sketches have been named the best environmental sketches. At that time I asked the race division, gave me the sketches under the pretext of wanting to photograph them as evidence in the event accountability report. But it seems like Lingga and Dhika are aware of my strangeness.

"That's the best sketch you want to put on display in your kosan right?" ledek Linga's.

"Hoooh! Crazy yes an Andreas withered same stinking child kencur hahaha!" added Dhika.

"Gue's not interested in his son, I love his sketches!" I said evasive.

At that time, I really liked the natural sketches made by Raina. The results look original but are pleasing to the eye.. The pencil is natural and fitting.

"De, you have talent!" my inner.

Many students of the Raina class have the skills when discussing with us, even more vocal than Raina cs. But, I did not expect that my younger brother was also a lot who dared to greet me first in the sosmed. They added my account as their friend first, sent me a direct message and so on. Not infrequently I even receive lunch boxes, chocolates or other cheesy items.

When the time to return home has come ....

Raina hasn't been picked up yet. Lingga heard the conversation Raina and her father on the phone said "Dad Raina can not pick up because stuck in traffic" I finally rushed to Raina.

Raina asked me for help in persuading Lingga to take her home on the grounds that their home was unidirectional. Somehow I desperately persuaded Lingga to change positions because at that time I had promised to go home with Praya.

Praya is my ex-boyfriend. He's a year younger than me. I'm in 2009 while Praya 2010. At that time I admitted that Praya was an ordinary maru, but Praya dared to approach me and kindly bring me provisions almost every day. Briefly we dated for almost 3 months before I finally realized that my feelings for Praya were just as an expression of my gratitude which he had always noticed.

"Ling, you refuse Raina's invitation to go home with Praya how? I'm the one who nganterin Raina... I am males with Praya.. You know the reason!" talk to the Linga.

"Ah elu's.. Yaudah switch okay (tukeran)" replied Lingga.

I also approached Raina who still looked agitated. Sometimes I ask her to joke, but Raina is still too stiff with me.

It rained on our way home.

Raina was engrossed in rubbing her stiff hands from the cold. While I silently watched his movements. When Raina realized that I was glancing at her, I immediately threw my gaze at the ceiling of the patrol post where we were sheltering.

I also realized that right above Raina's head there was a lizard that almost fell, I finally shifted my sitting position until docked to Raina. Not with a disrespectful intention, in my mind at that time maybe Raina was disgusted and would scream in fear like most women.

Suppose another man was in my position, they might have done the same. But..my guess was wrong, Raina with her cold face like she had no fear of the lizard. When the lizard fell right in front of us, he was just a flat expression.

The night went very long...

There are many things I learned about Raina. His innocence, flat face and on the other hand also his warm smile that makes comfortable anyone who sees it.

"How could a woman like this be what Rani said as a centile and caper girl? He never even looked me in the eye for more than three seconds" inwardly.

That very night I first talked to the father of a daughter I had only known for a few weeks.

Raina's Father ....

His voice is friendly but firm. A father who was very worried about his daughter, but also thought logically. A modern father, who doesn't even forbid his son to be delivered by a brother-level brother he just met. Instantly the face of the deceased Father was implied in my mind as I heard the soft, firm voice of Raina's father.

I wanted to call my mother at the time, telling her that that night I could finally call someone else "Dad" even though he wasn't my father but it felt like he had "meaning".... 3 Years ago, after my father died.. I'm "foreign" as Dad.

I sent a short message to Mother who lives alone in Palembang.

"Mom, reason earlier called "Father" same person feels comfortable heart reas once mom"

I'm not going to make Mom sad with my story, it's just that I want to share my anxiety about my solitude in the land of the region. It has been 2 years since I made this city my second home, since I stepped foot on this magnificent campus. My goal is only one, which is to become a scholar and have a job to care for and make Mom happy. My mother was the only one I had after Dad was called Divine the year before my high school graduation.

Back with Raina ...

For a moment, Raina's face wondered why my expression was so deep when I had to talk to her father on the phone. I said "thank you" to Raina, when Raina should have said so.

Regardless of what meaning came up behind the folds of feeling I was trying to resist back then, I was only comfortable when Raina let me be the first person she could rely on.

The rest... I still don't know...

Day after day passed with new feelings. I feel like I have a little sister to protect on campus. I feel I have responsibilities that I must take care of, especially after Raina's father told me that his son is introverted and tends to keep a distance from men.

"Titip Raina yes!"

Maybe my mindset is different from my level siblings. I who felt that I had a new sister, was even considered to harbor a love for Raina. Though the sense of what I feel now, I alone have not dared to conclude. But they already assumed. I heard Raina's been the subject of gossip lately. I actually already knew without having to tell Dhika and the others. So I decided to keep my distance from Raina. But, it's not my best friend's name if it's not "devil"...

Lingga, Dhika, and Doni often borrow my wine to send Raina a message. I'll find out their pranks after hours.

"De you have a DAS map assignment huh? if anyone finds it hard to say I am"

The three of them in the short message they sent to Raina was really annoying. One hand I'm glad they represent my message to Raina. But, I was afraid Raina would think of other things and feel disturbed.

Raina's answer was always the same, she always answered that she was not in any trouble at all. In fact, according to rumors spread by Praya "Raina cs likes capers and uses people for their benefit". I knew Hanifa was taking a car to campus, but Hanifa parked her car away from our faculty. Sometimes I also see Arika carrying the latest macbook, but her brand is unplugged and disguised, while Raina is not a typical showman too even though she has a lot of talent, he said, another very honest and interesting Nunu.

I know their characters only from a few times, but why can people speculate badly about them?

All my best friends advised me to start opening up my feelings to Raina.

"Don't be damned, the lifetime of gini lo only courtship once if even for reasons kasian again the same Praya haha if the horror of your story Raina kaya different from others" said Lingga advised me.

"Yes, when are you going to be far away from us? We are alone with a standard face and modest achievements gini can macarin adek level how many times well you are idolized even so cold" added Doni.

"Well, if your heart says yes, don't you don't! Sooner or later you can also find your own host" said Dhika.

The three of them always gave me advice about women, when it was clear that the topic was the least interesting to me. Mom has been working hard to educate me, what happens if I am here even busy taking care of the feeling problems.

Ever on several occasions you also ask "Abang has a girl not been there?" and I always said, "No ma'am, I don't have time" when I was dating Praya.

The only advantage I got when I was dating Praya was that I became better known to the children in other faculties. Praya is quite well known in many faculties, the rest are non-existent. I feel like I have a burden every day.

I have been afraid to open up ever since.

Regarding my feelings for Raina, I have not dared to conclude either. Again, because I'm afraid it's just a momentary feeling.
