Promises

The atmosphere between the two was tense. The girl showed her frustration.

“Previous I apologize if my words were rude. But, suppose I am in the position of Father. I will definitely continue to accept this task,” continued the girl.

Alvin did not answer. He kept a ballpoint pen on the table, folded his hands together on his chest. “You want me to accept it?”

“Ya.”

“Reason?”

“Because I've been working on.”

Alvin nodded twice. The girl's gaze still could not be missed. “Save on the table, and you can exit.”

The girl's eyes sparkled brightly. It was as if there was a light among the darkness that was engulfing him.

“Quick save! I still have a lot of work,” said Alvin firmly.

With a slight nagging in heart, the girl complied. In the end, this battle he won. “Thank you, Sir.”

Alvin did not answer. He immediately focused on his work, until the girl turned around.

Two steps the girl walked. Alvin's ears could hear the scolding clearly from the girl's mouth.

“If not needed, not ridiculed too!” nagel the Girl.

“Who would you like to tease?” ask Alvin.

The girl stopped for a moment. His eyes stupefied. “That's to know, Sir.”

“Oh.”

Without waiting for Alvin to say the song, the girl immediately ran out. He must as soon as possible save himself from the tantrums of the youngest lecturers.

“Rina!” Caca's screams were heard welcoming the girl out of the lecturer's room.

The girl who turned out to be named Rina also turned to the right side, walking in a hurry so that her friend did not get to the front of the lecturer's room. “What do you want to do here?”

“You nengokin you are,” replied Caca anxiously. Neutranya pay attention to the door of the lecturer's room. No one else came out. “Where? Accepted?”

“Alhamdulillah.”

Caca couldn't believe it. “Serious?”

“Iya.”

“Wah, crazy.”

“Loh, really, crazy?” Rina frowned. He tucked his right hand into Caca's left arm, bringing the girl back. “Important to the destination. Come on, let's have lunch?”

Caca no longer commented, although his little heart was still stricken with curiosity. He kept following every trace of Rina's footsteps that would lead him to the campus cafeteria.

“What do you want to eat?” ask Rina casually.

“Somay may be delicious,” replied Caca.

“Can be.”

“You've met the book for reference later?”

Rina stopped walking. He almost forgot about this. “Not yet. Later end of afternoon class, I go to perpus again.”

“But, I can't temenin.” Caca's face turned sad. “You know, right, I have to work sif afternoon.”

Rina understands. She smiled sweetly. “Iya. I know.” There are no secrets between them. “Mending us to the canteen first. I'm hungry.”

“Ok!” Caca enthusiastically.

These friendships just happen. At least, only Caca was always there for him.

***

Time continued to roll until the afternoon came. Alvin thinks that's enough for today's task check. He also intends to go to the boutique to continue the plan yesterday.

Alvin took care of his desk, grabbed a bag with a laptop, and left. He did not forget to pay attention to some of the existing lecturers.

The atmosphere of the campus is still crowded. There are many students and students who are still waiting for classes or just doing assignments.

“Astagfirullah, I have to go to the library first,” he said as he continued down the stairs.

In the end Alvin went to the library on the ground floor. Every time he met a student, he always got a nod of respect from them.

Not infrequently Alvin found his students walking in pairs. Obviously, he lost on romance.

Don't wanna get dizzy. Alvin chose to walk straight to where he was headed. He entered the library room. The atmosphere there is not as crowded as morning or afternoon. Maybe because it was late afternoon. There were only a few people who were still struggling with his books.

Alvin approached not high lined neatly. Browse through every book on the shelf, and look for what it needs.

Shelf one to the other shelf, until now Alvin is on the fifth shelf. His eyes continued to search, and had yet to find either. Until finally Alvin's ears heard the voice he had heard today.

“Duh, so tall again!”

Lina's voice was so clear in Alvin's ears. It looks like the girl is on the back shelf.

Alvin was indifferent. Everyone has the right to come here for personal gain. However, the song-again Alvin's ears heard Rina's nagging.

“Try someone to help. Ask for rewards is also not a problem,” said Rina.

Alvin's curious. His heart moved to look, so that both of his legs also walked towards the back.

Justright. He found Rina, the student who had been arguing with him. The girl turned out to have trouble picking up books that were at the top of the shelf.

Rina is still trying. He jumped to get a book, but nil. Alvin put a smile on his lips, then consciously approached Lina and was now next to the girl.

“You want that book?” ask Alvin.

Alvin's presence made Rina shocked. The girl shifted slightly away from Alvin. Alvin's calm perfume was smelled in his nose

“Pak Alvin,” said Rina in disbelief.

Alvin picked up the book with the red cover. “You want this?”

Rina flinching.

“This take.” Alvin handed the book to Rina. “But, it looks like I heard something earlier.” Alvin looked at Rina.

Lina remembered what she said a few seconds ago. Ah ... He regretted. Why should this crazy teacher hear it? Could serious!

“Take the book and keep your promise,” said Alvin.

Rina quickly picked up the book in Alvin's hands without knowing what this man in front of her wanted.

“Mr, what do you want in return?” ask Rina. I hope it's not too expensive. Minimal enough to treat Alvin campus food only.

Alvin looked around. On the same shelf were two students who were also picking up books. It doesn't seem right to say it now.

“Do not be expensive, yes, sir, if you ask. Student bags are not as thick as lecturers,” continued Rina.

“We talk outside only,” replied Alvin.

“What's the reason?”

“I have urgent needs.” Alvin forgot his purpose here.

As he spoke, Alvin's cell phone rang. A message from my beloved mother. Alvin grabbed the phone in his pants pocket, opened the message and his eyes were wide open.

From Mommy

Assalamualaikum says. Mother, meet Cika. His son is a friend of Mother who has now finished High School. You wanna meet?

Alvin is silent. He could guess the next step.

Lina watched Alvin, her forehead creasing tightly. “Pak Alvin, all right?”

Alvin. He saved the phone back into his pants pocket, then said, “Come, come with me!”

“Where?” Lina was a little scared.

“What is definitely not to the abyss!” Alvin is no less strict. “Promise is debt, and I am charging a reward.”
