One Hundred Eighty Degrees

Searching for Word

For three days Arin had not met the Word. Although he felt upset and angry over the differences in his papa's treatment. However, he still had one important goal that he had to carry out. That is, trapping the Word. For the success of his mission, of course, it is impossible if he chooses to remain angry and stay away from the Word.

Therefore, Arin decided to make peace with his heart and ego. He will seek the Word again and approach it as before.

Today Arin is trying to find the Word on his campus. Of course, he did it after first asking about the schedule of lectures at the veterinary school. If you look at the schedule, the Word should have a class today. But his friends said that he did not go to college today.

Arin wondered why Firman didn't go to college today. In addition, he also began to worry about the state of the Word. However, it was Arin who caused the Word to be willing to be exposed to rain to drive himself home that night.

Arin wanted to ask him the news but a sense of prestige that was too large made him always turn off his cellphone screen when trying to send a message or call directly.

Actually in his heart he began to worry and worry about something happening to the Word. Because after that night, the Word never gave it up or contacted him.

“Phone why the hell? Don't prestige it!” said Nabila when he saw Arin put his phone back in the bag.

“Who wants to call him? I'm just checking email notifications!” arin tried to avoid.

“Emang what is the notification in email? How come people are worried about his face?” nabila's question this time is quite interesting.

“Wait for the money! Bank transfer!” Arin answered trying to hide his worries.

“Ngapain try to find information about brother Firman to his friend? If you have a mobile number?” Vivi tried to interfere in the sudden interrogation.

“I told you that! I want to find him because there are important things that I need to talk about at home!” again Arin looking for reasons that do not match reality.

“Emang what's in your home?” Nabila was really insistent on hearing his questions.

“You guys why the hell today? How can I make me introgate?” Arin starts to get annoyed with the questions of his two best friends.

“Yes because we started to suspect you! Especially since the incident at Maya's party. I think you also have started to be fascinated by kak Firman.” Said Vivi ceplas ceplos directly to the core of the problem.

“What? What the hell are you guys? He's my brother! Where might the account be interested in him? We're like siblings know?” arin said full of emotion when it was said to be interested in his cousin brother.

“You're really cousins right?” tanya Nabila began to ask things that had never been asked directly to Arin or the Word.

“Hm, we are not cousins! But we have a brotherly bond even though it is far away. Our family is like a family! You guys don't believe it, do you? Brother Firman was from childhood was already an orphan. Well, my papa he already considered his own papa loh!” Arin tries to tell what kind of familial relationship is really between the two of them.

Nabila and Arin can only be a sign they believe in the words of Arin.

“Hei! Why are you here?” asked Alvian who suddenly came out of nowhere.

“Hm, we are looking for brother Word!” vivi replied to Alvian.

“Loh, Word hurts! He hasn't been in college for two days.” Alvian told the three of them. “What's up? Is there a need?” ask Alvian seriously.

“Do not know brother! Sih Arin who need ama sak Firman!” Nabila helped explain.

“Ke rent it aja deck! if you really need to!” alvian's Proposition to Arin.

“Iya deh kak, I will try there.” Reply Arin less spirit.

“Udah know the address yet?” The Word asked that because he was sure Arin belun knew it.

Alvian took a piece of paper from his bag and wrote the address of the Word on the blank piece of paper. Then hand it to Arin when it's done.

“Ok, thank you brother?” arin said politely.

“Sama-sama!” alvian replied with a smile.

Arin and his two best friends immediately say goodbye and choose to go home. Because there is no more college schedule for today.

“You want me to visit Brother Firman?” ask Nabila to Arjn before they actually split up to go home to their respective boarding houses.

“Who wants to go there? I'm waiting for him to heal! Why go there try?” Arin even protested Nabila's question.

“Ya maybe your business is the same as the Word is very urgent right? I'm just offering to keep you from going there alone!” Nabila tried to give a reason why he really wanted to help Arin. On the other hand he was also curious to want to play to the contract of the Word.

“Entar I'll call you if you need them!”

“Why not on the phone anyway Rin? Ask directly to the person!” Nabila gave a proposal that according to him, can be a solution of the problem Arin.

“He deh. Let me try it in kosan. I go first! You guys still want to stop by?” ask Arin to Vivi and Nabila.

“No! I want to go home too! Wanna work on the assignment of presentation!” answer Vivi quickly.

“I still want to stop by the perpus to pinjem book.” Say Nabila to his two best friends.

“OK! See you tomorrow!” Arin left while waving his hand.

Actually Arin didn't really go back to his boarding house. He chose to go to the contract of the Word. He felt unsettled if he did not know directly the news from his childhood friend and distant brother.

He who was driving a taxi told the driver his address. Once at the destination Arin immediately down after first paying the fare. He walked towards the entrance.

Arriving at the door, Arin pressed the bell on the right. He waited long enough but there was no sign of the door opening. He decided to push it a few times. But no one opened the door for him. He started to panic and immediately took his phone. Look for the Word number listed on the incoming call.

It was a bit long and had to try several times for the call to be raised. As soon as the phone rang up he felt a little relieved.

“Halo?” arin said immediately.

“Hmm!” the answer from within.

“Mas! Open door! I'm in front!”

Heard Arin's words. Fiirman who was half conscious immediately tried to gather his consciousness. He weakly forced himself out of bed and stepped out with all his might. It took me a long time to get to the door.

As soon as he opens the door. Arin was already standing there with the phone still attached to his right ear. Arin immediately entered and looked at the pale and powerless-looking Word.

“You sick?” ask Arin to the Word that is still standing and seems to have no more energy to step. His strength had already drained earlier as he walked from the room to the front door.

The view of the Word began to blur. His body trembled feeling the overwhelming heat. His head was about to break. Finally he collapsed right in front of Arin.
