EXCLUSIVE STUDENT

Exclusive Student

"I'm tired of being locked up here. Anyway, today I'm going out for a walk!" Lisa slammed her phone into the bed. It had been almost three months since entering the dorm, she had not been allowed to go out at all, except for going out to college.

He tried to complain to his mother, but it turned out that his response was quite unexpected. The mother, who had been a patron, indulgent and always obeyed all her requests, had now conspired with her father against her.

Actually, all because Lisa herself has abused trust. He used to be allowed to hang out freely with anyone indiscriminately. Her parents' intentions were good so that Lisa did not picky friends in hanging out, but apparently Lisa misinterpreted their kindness. He hung freely until he fell into a full communion, one of which was plunged into a valley full of opium-drugs.

Fortunately it is not too severe so after being rehabilitated for a few months his condition soon improved. Afterwards, her parents were sent to the Hope Mulia Foundation in the hope that Lisa would become a better person in the future.

Today is Sunday. Every Sunday some Students/i Hope Mulia are allowed to go out to enjoy the holiday, while some, others, are allowed to go out, keep running pickets to boarding houses to help nuns and nursing mothers serve children with special needs. The schedule is set, each week alternating. So, there is no more confusion between them, who can go and who should picket.

Except for the exclusive student, Lisa. Until now there is no free schedule, every Sunday his task is to clean the chapel and help the nuns arrange Eucharistic equipment, then serve the children in the home.

One of Lisa's roommates came in. Seeing the girl sitting on the edge of the bed with a sullen face, he asked, "You haven't left for the chapel yet, Sa?"

"It's none of your business!" Like a fierce dog, Lisa barked and the roommate she had memorized just shrugged indifferently.

Meanwhile, in Yudith's room, while Ririsma was preparing to leave, Yudith took out a book and began to write. The hair that was now a long back was tied carelessly and let a few strands dangle framing his face.

"Go get ready, Dith. Andreas is waiting downstairs." Ririsma showed her phone, there was a message from Andreas. "Ah, you are that." The girl pulled the journal book that Yudith was working on.

"Riss, balikin. It should be out soon."

"Now not. Now is our schedule to relax. Understood?" Ririsma held the book up high so that Yudith could not reach it.

Staring helplessly, Yudith said, "But Sister Rosa--"

"There's no reason. Sister Rosa won't tell you to work until you forget to relax." Ririsma continued to insist.

Thas right. The audit report can be done more casually because it actually just moves. Yudith, who was reluctant to leave the dorm, could not use writing a report as an excuse for rejection.

Ten minutes later, he and Ririsma came out of the room. While walking down the second-floor corridor, they heard the sounds of debate.

"You often say you're an exclusive student. Of course, it should be treated differently." That's the sound of the head of the dormitory. Very quiet, but sarcastic.

Yudith and Ririsma exchanged glances. Only by the name of Exclusive Student only they can immediately know who is in the room of the head of the dormitory.

"That's not what I want! I don't care, I want to go out like them!" Lisa screamed and was accompanied by a buzzing sound.

The curious Ririsma actually wanted to stop for eavesdropping, but Yudith withdrew her hand.

"One day maybe, but not now" said the head of the dormitory.

While descending the stairs, Yudith and Ririsma still had time to hear Lisa's screams that contained swearing, then the head of the dormitory sister firmly told her to reflect in the chapel while reading the Holy Scriptures, then write down the reflection he got from the reading as much as two sheets back and forth.

"Campus." Ririsma laughed and Yudith remained silent.

Although it looks cute around, but Yudith actually has very high empathy. He could feel how to be Lisa.

It must have been really bad to be the only person who didn't have a free day, had to do social work, and now even added punishment. However, Yudith did not necessarily think that the rules were cruel. He could understand why Lisa was treated so special. It must be for the good of the girl herself.

"Finally out too." Andreas, who had been chatting with the security guard, immediately turned away when Yudith and Ririsma appeared. At first he glanced at his watch. It was only half-nine, still early enough to start traveling.

"If I don't force you, Yudith will go out. Here, take it." Ririsma grabbed Andrew's hand and placed Judith's hand on it. Andreas clasped tightly together so that Yudith could not escape. "Gue hand over Yudith to lo. Take care."

"Ris, you ...." Yudith stared in confusion because after making Andreas hold it tightly, Ririsma then stepped out the gate alone.

"Gue doesn't want to be a mosquito repellent." Ririsma chuckled and hurriedly joined some friends who were standing by the roadside waiting for the angkot.

"Thanks, Ris!" Andreas waved at Ririsma who had been able to turn into the angkot.

As soon as the blue angkot slid away, Andreas looked at Yudith who was even indifferent, but still seemed blushed. The girl looked so misbehaved that she did nothing necessary - tucking her hair over her ears - and her hair was neatly tied up like a ponytail.

"Road, yuk ..," asked Andreas.

"Where?"

"To the Big Market. I have something to buy."

The exotic-skinned girl looked cute with a yellow ivory t-shirt proportional to her tiny body, combined with sebetis jeans and gray sneakers. A small backpack specifically traveling black color that was once on the back, now moved to the lap of Andreas.

The young man wanted to take revenge on the missed times without being able to freely indulge or show his attention to Yudith. Being the subject of attention of the other passengers, Andreas did not care at all. Unlike Yudith who looks clumsy, continues to look forward through the front windshield of the driver.

Arriving at the square they came down. After returning Yudith's bag, Andreas took her back and led her to walk towards the Great Market. During the journey to the destination, Yudith's eyes did not glance anywhere, as nothing could catch his attention. They don't linger there. After Andreas got the phone he wanted, they went somewhere else.

While Andreas was picking a cell phone at the store, Yudith wondered. Why buy again? Though the phone that Andreas has is still included new, there has not been a year. The question was answered when Andreas invited him into the food court S Mall.

"Dith, I bought this for you." Andreas thrust the new cell phone still in his box at Yudith.

Yudith's forehead frowned, staring flat at the thing that was now lying before him. It was a little unthinkable that Andreas bought the phone for him.

Yudith did not have a cell phone. Not unable to buy, but because of the money. The money she had collected little by little from the proceeds of being Sister Rosa's assistant, was actually more than enough to buy a cell phone. However, Yudith thought, why buy things that are not needed? To contact his mother he can call through the wartel, once a week is enough.

Yudith did not mind receiving a gift of food or something else, which was not expensive, but a mobile phone that cost almost a million, he could not possibly accept it. Andreas got money from where? Must be his parents' money. No, even the two parents of Andreas and Brother Lius, his brother Andreas, had been too kind to Yudith. Every time you go home, there must be souvenirs that are specially made for him.

Yudith shook her head while pushing the box towards Andreas. "No, An."

Andreas catches Yudith's hand before the girl has time to remove the cell phone box from her grasp. "I saved my pocket money as well as money from the proceeds of helping Mr. Dimas work on the financial statements of the foundation every month. Seriously, I'm not asking for money with mom."

As if he could read Yudith's mind, Andreas explained where the money he used to buy the phone came from.

"But, An."

Andreas squeezed gently into Yudith's fingers. Their eyes meet. "I want to be able to communicate even if I am far away. You can also call your mother without having to go to the wartel. Please accept, yes."

Andreas's eyes are pointed so that it seems narrow even though the original is not narrow, staring bleakly. But Yudith remained unmoved.

"Dith, you know how I feel, right?"

Yudith slowly lowered her gaze and finally looked at the hand of Andreas who was still holding his hand. Slowly he nodded.

"Then think of this as evidence of a cin---"

"Too expensive." The voice of Yudith cut off the words of Andrew.

Andreas smile. "Then return my feelings and take care of them forever. Impasse."

Yudith looked at Andrew. "An, please don't hold on too tightly to something that won't always be yours."

As Andrew remembered, it was the longest sentence Yudith had ever uttered. The young man smiled gently.

"Smoles are only God knows. There is no harm in enjoying what we feel now. Falling in love doesn't break the law, does it, Dith? Anything is fair in love. Giving ourselves a chance to live and enjoy love, that's a name that's fair to ourselves."

Yudith did not know what to say. He understands that Andreas only wants to make sure that they really have a special relationship, and has the right to claim he is his.

"We go and let it flow. Don't worry about things that haven't happened. Or .. lest you don't like me."

Yudith's eyes suddenly widened and hurriedly withdrew his hand. Andreas who gasped at Yudith's sudden movements, could only stare in confusion as the girl opened her bag and searched. Before Andreas could ask, Yudith took out a flat box and handed it to Andrew.

Without asking, Andreas accepted and immediately opened it. Instantly, his eyes also faded. Inside the box was a brown wallet and a light blue handkerchief, neatly folded, in one corner embroidered the name Andreas P.

The gift had been prepared for a long time, but he had not been able to give it. It wasn't expensive because he made the wallet himself in the foundation children's masterpiece room, as well as the embroidery on that cheap handkerchief, he embroidered it himself.

Andreas looked at Yudith with sparkling eyes. "Make me?"

Yudith nodded quickly and then looked down timidly. "Sorry, I made---"

"Thank you." Andrew took Yudith's hand and held it tight. "That means we're even, right? Accept this."

With the other hand Andreas thrust the phone still in his box towards Yudith. "Now we're officially dating, right?" A smile spread across the young man's face.

Yudith stared intensely at Andreas for quite a while, as if wanting to dive into the young man's heart, then slowly gave a small nod.

Andreas' smile grew wider until his eyes were buried in wrinkles. "Smile, Dith. So I'm sure."

Slowly, Yudith's lips curled upwards, a thin smile looming there. Then he quickly lowered his head and half-deadly tried to calm his heartbeat.
