In Atlanta, Ara had just finished with a hearing, for a course assignment to be completed this week.
"Hi girl's. Have you finished the trial?"
Someone asked Ara, who had just walked out of the courtroom.
"Yes. I m finish."
"May I know, what was the atmosphere of the congregation in the room?"
**assume, they both are talking in bule language there ya 😊😊️
A bule guy, asked Ara, to find out how things are in the courtroom.
Maybe, the guy was curious or could also be groggy, because he was also waiting for his turn to immediately enter the room.
"It's just normal. The important thing is that we must be able to calm down, in answering and explaining every answer we give, to the lecturer's question."
The man nodded his head, hearing the explanation given by Ara.
"Oh yes, can I get acquainted? It looks like you're not a Native American" asked the man, who was curious about who the girl who was currently in front of him was, and could explain how things were going inside the courtroom.
"I am from Indonesia. Ara."
"Pregnant?" ask the guy, with a frown.
But not long after, the man smiled happily.
"Finally, I can get acquainted with You Ara."
Now, replace Ara who feels confused, for the man's statement.
"Why?" ask Ara curiously.
"A few days ago, I heard girls talking about you in the college cafeteria. Don't you know?"
Ara nodded quickly, getting a question she did not know.
"What are they talking about me?"
Finally, Ara asked as well. He had never heard anything, about the talk of his college friends.
Moreover, Ara did not have many close friends, during college.
He always came and went, along with his father, or the Clouds.
While on campus, Ara also only attended college and if there was time to rest, she would go to the campus library.
Ara never went to the cafeteria or cafes, which were around the campus.
This was because Ara was afraid that, if the food or drink she wanted to buy, she would not be allowed to consume, according to the religious teachings she professed.
Her mother, Anjani, always brought food and drinks, in the bag that Ara carried.
And at the time of picking up Ara, Awan will also bring food and drinks for his lover.
Therefore, Ara so no need to go anywhere, to find food and drinks, to prop up her own stomach, while in the campus area.
The location of the Ara and Cloud campus is not too far away. And Awan was able to quickly come to the Ara campus, because he used his own motor vehicle.
"They, the girls, were talking about a girl from Indonesia, who stole the lecturers' attention."
Ara was still listening to what the guy said.
So, the girls who know Ara, envious because Ara became the top priority of the lecturers, who asked Ara to be able to stay on the track of achievement in the martial sports as well, he said, in addition to Ara's main target to quickly be able to graduate college.
"Is something wrong?"
Ara asked confusedly, with what her other friend was feeling.
In Ara's mind, everyone also wanted to graduate immediately, and be free from campus tasks.
But, if it is possible to stay on track in sports that bring a better future, everyone wants to be like that.
But what makes them envious is, Ara so the attention of young lecturers.
"Oh, at best they just want to get the attention of young lecturers who are handsome."
Finally, Ara understood the meaning of their conversation, her girlfriends, which Ara had been unaware of all along.
From the boy's story, Ara can draw the conclusion that, his other friends, just feel jealous, with what became Ara's success, he said, whether in the field of sports achievements or the lessons he has.
But this was also because of the attention, given by the lecturers, which was not received by his other friends.
Because of seeing Ara who was just silent, the man became confused.
"Aren't you uncomfortable with what they're talking about?" ask the guy, who does not know if, Ara never take care of something that is not important in his opinion.
Ara asked back, and the guy couldn't answer.
While in America, and being in the romance of her former school, Ara learned a lot, how the circumstances and situation of the people in America.
From some of the advice and accompanying messages that exist in the dorm, he can conclude that, there is no need to respond to every word from others, who do not know, how we are.
Do not pay attention to what others are talking about, if it does not come into direct contact with us.
The point is, there is no need to bother thinking about what people say. Most importantly, focus on the initial goal.
While in the dormitory, Ara took many lessons, which are very different than when in Indonesia.
But Ara's attitude, of course, is different if she is at home, or with her family in Indonesia.
He must be able to tell where he is. Because the culture is of course, not the same between America and Indonesian culture.
Moreover, Ara only wanted to study at this campus. And he doesn't need to think about anything else, if it doesn't support his main goal, it's on this campus.
The guy finally fell silent and no longer spoke.
Soon enough, the man said goodbye to Ara, because now it was his turn to enter the courtroom.
Ara just nodded, as the guy was saying goodbye.
Afterwards, Ara turned her back to Cloud, who had promised to pick her up, when the trial was over.
Tut tut tut!
Tut tut tut!
But it looks like Awan can't answer Ara's phone call.
However, shortly afterwards, Ara's phone vibrated.
Drett drett drett!
Ara immediately turned her attention to her mobile screen. On the screen, there is the name Cloud.
A smile rose on Ara's lips, as it turned out, The clouds contacted her, although Awan had ignored her phone call.
..."Hello Brother."...
..."Already done?"...
..."Ja. Ara just called Brother. But not foster brother."...
..."Ja. This is also Brother just saw. Brother just arrived."...
..."Get to where?"...
..."Campus front."...
..."Campus front? Brother just went to college?"...
Ara just misunderstood, with the words Awan. He thought that, Awan just wanted a class on his own campus.
..."Not Ra. Brother's in front of your campus."...
..."Eh, sorry. Ara thought, Brother forgot."...
..."Forgot it? Forgot that big brother's promise? It can't be Ra."...
Ara felt ashamed of herself, because of a misunderstanding. He smiled to himself, hearing the words of the clouds, over the phone.
Now, he would walk towards the front of the campus, where the Clouds were waiting for him.
..."Ara get out, brother."...
..."yeah. Brother wait."...
Click!
Ara smiled, as the phone call was cut off. He could not wait to meet up with the Clouds.
"Oh yes, he said there is something to talk about by Brother Awan later. What do you think Brother Awan wants to talk about?"
Ara muttered and asked herself, while walking towards the front of the campus.
He felt happy, because the clouds always kept their promises.
Ara was not aware that, there were several pairs of eyes, which were watching her from a distance.
I don't know what they want, from an Ara. According to them, Ara is no one in America.
