One Hundred Eighty Degrees

One Hundred Eighty Degrees
Feel Happy



That night Arin could not sleep well. He remembered the words of his mother. He doesn't know what to do. But surely the grudge in his soul is now mounting and seems to be exploding at any time. He was more and more resentful of the Word. He swore he would not let the Word be happy.


He thinks a lot about what steps he should take next. Even he began to think to deceive the Word by pretending to be okay with him. After that maybe he can trap the Word. Sure enough, after thinking of having such an idea. He finally closed his eyes slowly.


That morning. Before Arin entered the lecture hall. He left early than usual. Just for the sake of looking for the Word to the BEM office. Once there, he found no Word. However, there are some other seniors who are looking busy with their activities.


“Excuse me! Can I come in?” arin asked while knocking on the door of the BEM office.


“Bby deck! Please!” answer one of the senior girls.


“There can we help?” ask the other person sitting next to the senior.


Everything that's in there. No one Arin knew.


“I'm looking for brother Firman!” arin said explaining the reason early in the morning was there.


“Firman? Looks like the deck hasn't come yet! Maybe there is no morning school? Uh, you adek Word that viral fitting orientation huh?” his question to Arin who looked a little embarrassed was asked that way.


“Iya brother. Introduce my name Arin.” Said Arin while sticking out her hand.


“I Vera. The head of the room also fits the event orientation kemaren.” He said while shaking Arin's hand. “Why don't you make an appointment first deck?” ask senior Vera to Arin.


“Hm, I don't have a phone number in Firman.” Arin replied a little.


“Loh? How can a cousin not have her brother's HP number?” Vera asked in surprise and felt strange with Arin's reply.


“He he he, I just moved to Jakarta.”


“Oh, so you just met again am Word?”


“Iya kak.” Arin replied doubtfully.


“Oh yes. I asked the other one first. Or gini on deck. You called him yourself, right? Here I have the phone number.” Senior Vera offered Arin a Word number.


“Bby kak.” Said Arin steady.


“Ok, catet yes!” Vera opened her phone screen and mentioned the twelve-digit number belonging to the Word.


“Ok, sis. Thanks much. I called the guy directly!”


“Sep. Just wait here! Sorry, I'm staying first. I have an appointment to see the rector this morning deck!” Vera says goodbye to Arin.


“Iya brother. No papa. Please!” arin said with a sweet smile towards Vera.


After Vera passed from before him. Arin immediately searched for the number he had just saved and pressed the green panel on his phone. It took quite a long time for his call to be raised by the destination number. He even had to try twice.


“Halo, with whom?” ask the Word from across.


Arin hesitated to answer. However, he finally ventured to say his name.


“It's me mas!” answer Arin briefly.


“Sorry, who is it? The number here is not saved.” Say Word curious.


“It's me Arinal Haque.” Arin answered without hesitation.


“What? Who?” ask the Word half in disbelief.


“Iya, it's me.” Arin started to feel a little insecure.


“This is really Arinal Haque?” ask the Word again.


“Iya. Bener.” Arin convinced the Word with his voice.


“Cooking anyway?” ask the Word again. But his goal this time was only to tease Arin. Actually in his heart he was convinced and familiar with the voice of Arin.


“Yes, I'll close if I don't believe!” arin began to sewot.


“Eh, uh sorry! Wait, wait don't close.”


“Eh uh uh, sorry sorry adek! You're sorry, aren't you? What's up tumben called?”


“I have a need. I'm in the BEM office. Where are you?”


“Loh I didn't have a lecture this morning deck. I'm still in kosan.”


“Yes I don't want to know. I'm waiting here loh.” Arin said as he hung up the phone.


“Halo? Deck?” The Word could only be astonished and pat his own eel. “This child! No wind no rain suddenly called. Pas already lifted not finished talking already closed first.”


Because they feel they have not conveyed what is on their mind. Firman tried to call back Arin's number. But Arin refused to answer. Not giving up, Word still keeps calling him. Arin actually pressed the power button and chose to disable the phone.


“So what did he say? Want to wait in the BEM office? Ow hell! I have to rush to campus. Where not to shower again.” Say Word while in a hurry to get a towel and go to the bathroom.


After bathing Firman immediately took his favorite motorbike and left for campus. The main purpose is of course the BEM office. He felt very excited and happy. For the first time in his life. He never felt so excited about going to college.


It was as if many flowers were blooming in his heart. He did not expect that the feeling of pleasure would be this deep. Although he has not really ascertained whether this is just ordinary pleasure or the seeds of true love have begun to grow over time.


Upon arrival at the BEM office he became even happier when he saw Arin who was still there. Sitting faithfully awaits him. Yeah, who would have thought that Arin was really waiting for him. Seeing Arin's attitude all this time who was always indifferent. I think it's an impossible thing.


“Hai!” The Word greeted with a voice that was slightly restrained by his breath gasping. How not like that if he chose to run from the parking lot to the BEM office. Just because Arin was worried about not waiting for him there. But this time it was a miracle. Arin was really waiting for him until he came.


“For so long?” arin said while scowling.


“Iya, sorry. I haven't had a shower. Take a shower first!” The Word chose to sit next to Arin.


“Ih, that toothpaste is still on the lips! The bath is not clean, is it?” ask Arin deliberately want to make the Word die style.


“Mana?” ask Firman while rubbing the tip of his lips.


Because it is not painstaking to see the Word that actually rubs the wrong part. Arin took the initiative to help clean up the rest of the toothpaste. He stuck out his hand and rubbed the lips that had the former toothpaste.


Firman was surprised by Arin's sudden attitude of concern. When Arin's hand rubbed her lips. Suddenly his heart was racing faster than usual. It made him pause for a moment and confused what to do. Because this time the feeling really made things clearer. It became clear that he liked Arin's little attention.


Even their views begin to meet each other. Arin who had never felt that close to the Word before felt misbehaved and immediately withdrew his hand.


“Show is also in a hurry! I didn't tell you to make a splinter?” arin tries to distract. Because he could not deny that there was actually a strange feeling that spread inside him when he had a view with the person he hated the most.


“Yes, I'm afraid you waited too long deck!”


“Good if you think like that. Despite the fact I actually waited almost an hour here.”


“Iya, sorry! You just hung up the phone. My phone call back was disabled!” protest Word.
