Bara and Dipta immediately released his hand grip on the two students. Mrs Ratih also wondered why they slandered the Creator.
"You're serious,!"" exclaims Bu Ratih.
"Yes, Mom."
"Why did you mention the name of Dipta. Is this also part of Vera's plan.?" now Bara is talking.
"Yes, Mum."
"You're young, you're still in the early semesters too, considering it to be the grumpy Vera. Love your energy and your future." said Dipta.
"Yes, according to our promise after you confess then this problem will not be extended and involve you. Now you can go back and remember, don't repeat. If you break the campus promise, you won't hesitate to let you out,!" obviously Mrs Ratih.
"Good, Mom. Thanks though. We promise we won't do it again." replied one of the students.
"Okay, please leave my room.!"
Both of them left the room, when outside the room there were still some students waiting for him. Bara and Dipta tell them not to take action because the problem is over.
"Bara and you were created, now I need to talk to you both.!" said Mrs Ratih.
The two then returned to the room and sat down before Madam Ratih. With still sitting position Bu Ratih looked at the two one by one.
"Alright, I just want you to explain why there are incidents like Bara, and what is the relationship until Vera and Dipta are carried away." asked Mrs Ratih.
"Sorry, Mom. I'll explain a few reasons why Vera did this. Maybe this also has something to do with what happened to Cantika." But, earlier I apologized because maybe I also had a small share in this. But, I honestly do not know about the incident that happened to Bara. Vera is my friend, she likes Bara, and she doesn't like it when Cantika is close to Bara.
I knew Cantika in the library and met her outside the classroom. At that time I did not accept if there were students or students who rivaled me as an assistant lecturer. But, after chatting even though for a while he was engrossed when invited to chat. Vera thought I liked Cantika, but I was just salute and amazed.
He finally invited cooperation to make Cantika Shame, spontaneously I refused and then I said this then I do not want to know, I said it was up to him as long as not to hurt Cantika. After that the incident in the toilet happened, and maybe Bara also already knew it. But, when it comes to the attack on Bara I do not know knowing." explained Dipta.
"Geez, how come gini ribet. Why don't you tell me about what happened in the toilet." asked Mrs Ratih.
"Sorry Mom, Cantika herself doesn't want everyone to know. The important thing is that he is right and not doing the things that are aimed at him is enough. He just wants to be able to solve his own problems." Bara replied.
"OK, Created. I can understand what you are doing and feeling. But, the matter of rivals and rivaling it is not the soul of a warrior. This time you become a warrior to achieve all that you dream of.
Being an assistant lecturer was an incredible feat. Not everyone can get that. And you are among the lucky ones because you can get it. And as for the competition, that's natural.
In any case there must be competition that matters we can control. About this problem maybe you and Vera need to be given a reprimand or warning. Later I will talk further with others because I also have to consider it." explained Mrs Ratih.
"Thank you Mom for understanding, I promise I will not feel rivaled and arrogant because I feel that nothing rivals me anymore" replied Dipta.
"All right, I understand this time, next time you should be able to act more mature. Because no one feels like rivaling and outperforming you. You are both role models and should be able to give examples to all friends." replied Mrs Ratih.
"Okay Mrs Ratih, thanks for her knowledge and enlightenment. If indeed I am no longer needed here, I ask permission to return." said Dipta.
After saying goodbye to Bu Ratih and Bara finally Dipta left the room of Bu Ratih and now stay Bu Ratih and Bara alone.
"Bara, please tell Cantika not to be stubborn, next time if there is a problem do not hold your own. We as a family function to help provide solutions not as defenders. If he's wrong, I have to be objective in reprimanding him. If otherwise, then I must help find a solution." explained Mrs Ratih.
"Yes, Mom. I'm sorry if I still can't fully take care of him." Bara replied.
"Yes it's okay. Alright then you can go back to your room." said Mrs Ratih.
"Yes Ma'am, now I'm a filler first." Bara replied while kissing the hand of Mrs Ratih.
Bara left Bu Ratih's room and headed for the canteen. Because this afternoon he was planning to fill his stomach in the cafeteria.

In the afternoon when the lecture hours were up, all students scattered out of their classes. Cantika walked down the corridor of building C to get out to the courtyard.
With light steps she walked towards the exit of the campus. He waited for Bara to come home together. He was standing under a tree near the parking lot. With an anxious face and the occasional look at his watch clearly implied an unsettled attitude.
His eyes explored the entire parking area by researching one by one and hoping that there was someone he was really waiting for. After nearly ten minutes finally the long-awaited one appeared as well.
Bara walked confidently while staring directly at this little girl. Then he smiled when he was in front of Cantika.
"Wait a long time, huh.?"
Face pouting.
"Sorry, there's still some business. Ntar in exchange for the loss I bought in ice cream deh."
His face now changed to straight up. Bara likes that laugh, likes the twinkle of his eyes, he also likes the grip of his hand as if to say that he needs it. The geniality that made Bara feel was truly considered to exist.
Bara likes his behavior, all that Cantika has, although his presence sometimes makes him think of his beloved sister who has died. Cantika's presence slightly treated the longing that culminated in her beloved sister.
Until Bara finally realized that his relationship with Cantika could not be like brother and sister, because gradually Bara began to grow a sense of more than just the affection of brother to his sister.
He looked at this little girl with a gaze full of tenderness, warmth and affection. He promised himself that he would look after Cantika because after all he loved Cantika.
