Section 28: Lecture II

“Malik, do you think Bayu Asta is good?” We were in class, class was just over.

“Why suddenly ask him?” Malik turned to the place where Bayu Asta was sitting, he was indeed our classmate.

“Hmmm, he several times invited me to go to college together and offered to go home together, but I always refused, right said mom I have to go home with you.” I was a bit hesitant to say it.

“You like her?”

“Yes, not as extreme as that too Malik time, he's good. Several times he offered a shuttle, always gave me lunch, he said it was his own cuisine, when I opened it turns out fried rice flat not using vegetables, my favorite, and I like it, trus tasty again.” I smiled to myself, understand this to me unusual things, when good men, handsome and rich want to approach me, because my life was always filled with Malik, because my life was always filled with, I sometimes forget that there are other men besides Malik.

“I never knew he was picking up the shuttle and loving everything, you never told me.”

“Yes, sorry, I don't think it matters much.” I lied, I just don't want Malik to consider Bayu Asta someone who likes me, I'm afraid he supports and assures me that Bayu Asta is good, so my relationship with him is stretched, so that my relationship with him, but somehow now I feel a little interested in the goodness of Bayu Asta.

“then why are you saying now? is that important now? you like him?” Malik reaffirmed his question.

“Not in that direction as well as Malik, but may be interested.” I smiled again.

“Bayu Asta is a playboy, you just check who the women in this class are treated well by him, just as secret he treats you, if you already know must be shocked.”

“Loh, he's not really good. Who are you, who are you approaching!” I'm angry that Malik is trashing people who like me, even if it's still a possibility. I was also astonished by her over-reaction.

After hearing my words, Malik cleaned up all his college equipment, put them all in his bag and stood up, then left. I tried to chase after her and call her around, but before I could catch up, Bayu Asta held back by standing in front of me, we were now at the exit of the class, while Malik was already out of class quickly, he said, it seems like he's mad at me.

“Why Malik Sei?” Bayu Asta asked.

“Biasalah, we often fight kok.” I try to be calm.

“Masa anyway? You see you guys look very tight, like Malik love very much lo.”

“Yes really, just as a friend really, nothing more, we're little friends.” I'm trying to explain our relationship, not to get Bayu Asta close, but it's true.

“So you guys are just suhabatan? How do I feel different?” Bayu Asta asked again. I didn't answer because it was hard to define our friendship.

“Judah gini aja, because you again fight with Malik, let's have lunch. Rarely are your moments not the same as Malik.” Bayu Asta invited me to lunch at the campus cafeteria.

“Ok, come.” There is nothing wrong with hanging out with men other than Malik.

We both walked towards the cafeteria, although my heart was still a bit worried about Malik's anger, I was afraid he was away from me, he was rarely angry at me as I spoke, even the injury always understood my attitude, he said, sometimes I blatantly say that I don't like his girlfriends, and then a few days later he'll break them off. This is the first time Malik has been angry.

“Sei fried rice what else?” Bayu Asta offered me after we got to the cafeteria.

“Don't be heavy yes, want aja batagor, same orange juice, this morning already quite heavy breakfast because.” I replied.

“Ok, sit there ya.” Bayu Asta pointed to one seat in this canteen, if you think the bench was never filled by anyone other than Bayu Asta, if you think about it, I don't know maybe it's a bench that people can't sit on, I heard Bayu Asta is very rich, his parents are one of the richest people in this capital.

I walked towards the direction Bayu Asta pointed at, then sat on this bench. From this bench I saw the students looking at me cynically. Why yes?

Bayu Asta sat coming with batagor and orange juice, I accepted it, not long after a canteen waiter approached us and brought the food order Bayu Asta. Oh, Bayu Asta soto's tomb. Wait a minute, why was the waiter brought in? Usually we are students who sell food.

“Kok tumben mbaknya anter food?”

“Oh this,” Bayu Asta pointed to his food. “ya I will pay them monthly, so yes if you want to eat already there is a schedule Monday & Saturday, so no need to bother anymore pesen.”

“Yes when you eat alone, I eat.” Oh, my goodness, Bayu Asta looks very manly, if I eat with Malik I must prepare everything for him, I order our food, I order, although Malik's wallet is sometimes always in me, he said he was afraid if he wanted to eat what, complicated if it must be pesen himself, so sometimes his wallet is always in me, so sometimes his wallet is always in me, never even sampe nginep in my bag tuh wallet, herannya Malik did not nyariin, only tomorrow he realized. Ah, again Bayu Asta aja still think of the Arogan.

“Enak no bakagornya?” Bayu Asta asked.

“Lumayan …. “

Suddenly I saw Malik coming, and pushing the chair beside me, he sat with a sharp gaze staring at Bayu Asta, because Bayu Asta was sitting across from me.

“Malik want to eat regular kayak?” I offered him a meal, I didn't want us to be gossip, it was enough for the girls to see me eating with Bayu Asta, if now they see Malik and Bayu Asta fighting, what they said.

I waited for Malik's reply, he only nodded while his gaze remained on Bayu Asta. They stared at each other sharply.

I hurriedly ordered food, fried rice egg with vegetables. As I waited for Malik's order so, I saw Malik and Bayu Asta as if talking, I saw Malik talking seriously, while Bayu Asta just looked at Malik, raising his shoulders and shaking his head, he said, then smile here, what the hell are they talking about.

When Malik fried rice was done so I paid, as usual with the money in Malik's wallet. Then I immediately ran, because I saw Malik had pointed at Bayu Asta.

“Malik yuk, we eat at another table.” I pulled Malik's hand, while Malik was still angry, his face red. Bayu is confused.

“Malik!” I snapped, then Malik looked at me. A second later Bayu Asta coughed, not long after he was like a strangled person, his face flushed from being out of breath, was he choking? I ran towards Bayu Asta, trying to help him, but he was getting more difficulty breathing, I looked towards Malik for help, I accidentally saw the movement of Malik's hand on the table, his hand was like he was grasping something, I felt that Bayu Asta was like this because of Malik.

“Malik!” I ran back to Malik's seat, holding his left hand on the table, it was like it was gripping. I held the hand while looking at Malik, I persuaded him to let go of Bayu Asta, Malik still looked at Bayu Asta with a sharp gaze.

I saw Bayu Asta groaning because his face had turned red, he was dying because as if suffocated he was holding his own neck like trying to take off something when there was nothing on his neck.

I held Malik's face and pulled him to look at me, I screamed for Malik, finally Malik looked at me and his left hand that was like it was gripping something on the table finally squeezed, that second also Bayu Asta like free from shortness of breath, then fainted.

I was trying to help Bayu Asta, but my hand was held by Malik and he pulled me out of the cafeteria, as he passed by the students who were looking at me with this look, I felt like I was looking at Erika, malik's ex-lover was there too, I saw Erika looking at me with a look of hate.

“Malik, it's you!” We were in Malik's car, but the course was not over, but Malik wanted to leave the campus instead. Malik did not answer.

I don't know if I feel that sometimes Malik is scary, I've caught him talking to himself, then doing movements like he's fighting, but he's alone. Most often yes, if we were on the road, he told me to go back and choose a detour, while he remained on the road, even though we finally met at the end but it was strange, strange, I used to think he would meet a girl so he would walk alone, not want me to be with him. But, out of curiosity I finally followed him, didn't follow him around, and then I saw him talking to someone but nobody was there, when he realized there was me, then he ran towards me and pulled my hand and said, Run!

So I'm sure, he can see what we can't see with normal eyes, plus it happened earlier, I'm sure his left hand is strangling Bayu Asta in an unseen way, so you hurriedly persuaded him.

“If tomorrow I still see you same him again, I will make him vomit blood and not wake up again.” Malik said very calmly but with great emphasis.

“Love me one reason, why do you really dislike me being close to Bayu Asta?”

We got to my house, it turns out he's waiting for me to come home.

“You call Ratna, Diana and Susan. Ask if they are about Bayu Asta.” Then Malik unlocked the car door and told me to get out.

I came out feeling angry, upset and worried. Afraid that Malik still wants to beat Bayu Asta. Why does Malik overreact to Bayu Asta? it is impossible because of jealousy, Malik is most anti-jealous with his girlfriends, let alone the same as me who is just a friend.
