Genius Wife and Superstar Husband

Episode 10: Andrew (2)

After observing Carolina for 1 week, I finally knew her character a little.

Carolina seems to have a loner nature, whenever anyone wants to talk to her, she always answers as usual and is busy playing her phone.

She also rarely hangs out in the campus cafeteria, she always returns to her senses when a class has ended. He only stayed on campus when the next class span was only 30 minutes to 1 hour. More than that, he must have returned to his senses.

I only often looked at him from afar because of his cold nature and always ignored me.

Until one day, a chance came to me.

Lecturers provide tasks that must be done in groups.

Carolina who from the beginning had decided to become a butterfly student* became difficult about it. I took advantage of it and approached it.

(*Tuition home college)

“Hey, we are one group, yes!” I said without shame.

Carolina looked at me for a moment, before finally nodding.

“Means we just find 1 more person nih,” said me while looking around the class.

“You still need people? Can I join?” suddenly a woman approached us. She was short-haired with fair yellow skin, a stark contrast to the long-haired Carolina and the white skin.

“OK deh, lo Vera right, yes?” I asked the one who forgot to remember his name.

“Yes, lo Andrew right?” he answered with a smile.

I nodded, continuing to turn my attention again to Carolina.

“Lo saturday no events? What if his job is Saturday in mekdi?” ask me to propose.

“I can't if it's Saturday,” reject Carolina. Doesn't she have a boyfriend, huh?

“Lo want to date, yes?” ask Vera who represents my question.

“No, again no business. How about tomorrow?” ask him back.

What's wrong with not dating or not having a boyfriend?

I wanted to ask that question but I managed to hold it in. I thought I was aggressive again. Gotta selow dong.

“Gue can be just,” said Vera. Now they both look at me.

“Judah tomorrow. For your numbers dong, let our communication is good,” said I was looking for an excuse. Carolina and Vera immediately gave their numbers.

Smooth Andrew, smooth

After that incident, I'm the same Carolina is getting closer, although the response is still cold as usual.

We are also getting closer to Vera.

Every time there is a group assignment, the three of us must be a group. If the group needs 4 people, we just have to choose randomly between our classmate or repeat level brother.

“Ve,” said when me and Vera again hang out together to do group work.

The loner Carolina preferred to split her duties, work her part alone, and send it to me to collect.

“Lo same Carol does it look close, she has a guy no?” ask me and drink the Hazelnut Latte I ordered. I occasionally glanced at Vera to wait for her answer.

Vera was silent for a while, like thinking about something, “Do not know too, why?” ask Vera.

I put down the drink and continue typing tasks on the laptop, “Gak anyway, because every time he was invited to make a task outside he would always refuse. Just follow in semester one first.”

“Don't know too, maybe because he doesn't have money? You know he came here for a scholarship. If you hang out here you can run out 25 thousand for the price of the drink doang,” replied Vera who then drank the Vanilla Latte she ordered.

“Hmm.. yes, maybe that's the reason the grades are good and so the highest GPA student in our generation,” for three consecutive semesters, Carolina still holds its position as the highest GPA winner.

“Lo likes smart girls, yes, ndre?” vera asked suddenly, but she just stared at her laptop screen and her hand was busy typing something on the keyboard.

“No too, but if he is smart there is an additional value of his own. How about yourself? Every Sunday night always working with me, you don't have a guy?” I asked him to try to divert the conversation.

Could be bad later if Vera knows I have a crush on Carolina!

“Hahaha, yaudah cheers! For fellow singles,” said I raised my glass which immediately reads “clang” when Vera banged her glass into my glass.

Time then passed, although Carolina still seemed indifferent, but my feelings for her grew bigger.

What's more when I have a birthday and he chooses to say it directly while smiling. Her lips lifted with sweetness and her heart-wrenching voice as she uttered, “Happy birthday, Andrew.”

Only four words, four words that make me always happy in one year, also four words that I look forward to every year.

I don't know if it's love or obsession, but I do feel like I don't like it when I see him talking and smiling at other men. What's more to Dion, who joined our group in semester 4.

In semester 4 there are courses that require us to group with six people. The course is a subject that is a prerequisite for the course in semester 5, after which the course in semester 5 is a prerequisite for the course in semester 6, and it continues until the Final Work Practice and Task

Because the three courses in semesters 4, 5 and 6 are related and held by the same lecturer, the group will remain in the next semester. So if one person fails in the previous course, all members of the group will fail.

Maybe this is what is meant by “keberama” which is always emphasized by the old generation when we were in ospek in semester 1.

In the 4th semester, our group almost failed. Because we are still newbies who are still level 1 and have basic equipment must fight the boss of a level 20 dungeon. But Carolina, who was the leader of the group, managed to bring us her group of friends to defeat the boss.

Of the 10 existing groups, who graduated in the course was only 5 groups.2 of them were groups from the old generation.

Maybe this is also what people say that the difficult period of college time starts from semesters 3 and 4. If you can get through that semester, the next trip will be smooth and only stay facing the Final Project as the last stage in the lecture period.

Having one group for 3 semesters made us finally close to our group friends, Dion, Clara and Riko.

Luckily Riko doesn't seem to be interested in Carolina, but it seems like another case with Dion. It really makes me not like when I see them together and sometimes Carolina laugh with jokes that I think crisp abis.

But I can't do anything. Carolina is not my girlfriend, and I dare not ask her to be my boyfriend.

My confidence as Andrew Bagas just collapsed.

Usually the women who cool into me will change when knowing my identity, but not with Carolina.

After knowing my identity, he still treated me the same as before he knew my identity. It made me fall in love with him even more.

But I'm scared.

Afraid that he would reject me and our circumstances would be too awkward to be together again even as group mates.

I knew Carolina from when I was 18, at first I thought I was afraid to express my feelings because I was young.

But after I turned 19, I still didn't dare to express my feelings. Feelings of love for him.

I'm more sure of how I felt when Dion was among us, I don't like seeing Carolina with Dion!

I'm jealous!

My age is two-headed now. But I still don't dare to reveal it

Time passed until it did not feel only 2 more semesters we will graduate. That means we'll be together for another year.

I finally decided to express my feelings.

Maybe on the beach while watching the sun set?

Because Carolina will definitely refuse to take her out at night for a romantic dinner, and it would be very strange to take her to the beach together for no other reason.

I decided to do it on my birthday.

Although it was very difficult to ask the old man's permission when I said I wanted to make my birthday in Bali with my college friends. Well, at least I decided to invite the others. After all, they were my fight mates from semester 4.

I am finally 21 years old. For almost 3 years I did not dare to express my feelings.

Now it's time for me to be brave and tough enough to face everything. Even if later something is an unpleasant situation, right?.
