One Hundred Eighty Degrees

Shameful Events

While listening to the song that Arin sings. The heart of the Word seems to be getting slashed. He could not resist the turmoil of longing and also the feeling of disappointment that stirred his emotions. He finally chose to listen to the song on his phone. The volume hedset is set to the highest volume. So that Arin's song is no longer heard by him.

Firman closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Arin glanced at him occasionally. Seeing the Word as if asleep. Arin is getting emotional and not accepting. He became very hateful of the Word with his behavior that seemed not to want to intersect with him.

Arin finished his song immediately. He has not yet received his offer. He decided to go back to his seat immediately. There were no tears pouring down through his eyes that felt hot. He tried his hardest to hold back his tears. But I can't.

Seeing Arin crying beside her Maya becomes anxious and worried.

“Arin! Are you okay?” maya asked cautiously in her tone.

Arin did not answer Maya's question. He was getting less and less able to hold back his tears. Looking at Arin like that. Maya becomes confused and doesn't know what to do. He could only offer a tissue to Arin. Arin received the tissue immediately and wiped the tears that flowed down her cheeks.

“I'm not papa brother! I'm just kangen mama!” arin said he was lying. Though in his heart at this moment there is such a cute Word against him.

“Why not call if you miss?” ask Maya sincerely.

“I-if call even more want to go home if you hear the sound of mama!” arin said still with his lie.

“Oh so! Are you the same as your mom?” ask Maya to Arin.

“Iya. Because ever since my parents divorced. I'm coming with mama. And mama has been a mom and dad for me!” arin replies about the divorce of his parents that occurred since he was in elementary school.

Hearing Arin's story, Maya is increasingly sympathetic and pitying him. Maya also hugs Arin with a loving feeling. Like a brother to his brother.

The three-hour journey finally ends in a village that is notoriously sparsely populated. This village is a group of several small hills that are very beautiful and cool. The distance between people's homes and each other is very far apart. The campers should stop for about a kilo before entering the campground. This is because the narrow road can not be traversed by four-wheeled vehicles. They were forced to walk with their own equipment.

It was seen that a middle-aged man who was the representative of the village head welcomed their arrival and at the same time became a guide.

After a short walk, the participants finally reached one of the uninhabited hills. They plan to set up a tent there. Before that they choose to rest for a moment to release the fatigue due to a fairly tiring journey.

Once it feels enough to unwind. They also set up a tent. Because the day has begun to worry afternoon when night falls. The tent is not ready.

The Chairman of BEM who is also the chairman of the committee in this event gave several directions and also important announcements. Such as the distribution of cooking pickets and also the division of bath time between male and female participants. Because later they will bathe in the river that is under the hill that they currently occupy.

“Arin!” mitha said to Arin who seemed busy helping prepare a meal for the male participants who were setting up a tent. While the female participants have the task to prepare dinner.

“Iya kak?” arin replied when he knew his name was called.

“Ikut I gave this to those who are Again making tents yuk!” take Mitha to Arin.

Arin also followed Mitha who was in charge of distributing bread to the participants. The bread is the consumption of the committee as a stomach booster so as not to be too hungry until dinner time arrives.

Arin distributed the bread one by one to the participants. Most of them smiled in thanks to Arin. When the turn came to give the bread to the Word of Arin for a moment hesitated and did not know how to give it.

He had stopped and thought to leave it to a participant who at that time seemed busy helping the Word. But it seems not to be able. They all look very busy. Except the Word seemed to relax a little.

“Kak! Here's the bread for temporary consumption from the committee!” said Arin clumsily because he does not usually call the Word with the name of brother.

Heard the words of Arin who called himself brother. The Word became surprised and astonished. Arin now hates him so much that it changes the way he talks to her. Though usually Arin always talk casually and never as formal as it was to him.

“Still!” answer the Word while taking the bread that Arin thrust upon him. So short and flat. Without smiles and other expressions.

See the Word's response to him. Arin is getting misunderstood. He thought that this time he really took his words seriously the other day. The friendly attitude of the Word changed one hundred and eighty degrees.

In Arin's heart was a little sick when treated so by the Word. He was also disappointed with the attitude of the Word that was very indifferent and acted as if he did not want to talk to him or even did not want to know him.

All the discomfort was Arin resistant and he was still required to be professional in his task of handing out bread to other participants who had not been part. Though he almost cried again when he finished giving bread part of the Word. All that he held in his heart.

When Arin was a few steps from the position of the Word standing, he suddenly fell to the ground. It was because his foot passed through a long grass that blocked his path.

“Burgh” sound from Arin that fell quite loud and was heard by several other participants who were around. Instantly they quit their jobs and looked towards Arin. Realizing that Arin had fallen down they immediately approached him and swiftly helped him up. While the Word who was in the closest position to Arin chose to be silent and did not react.

Arin was very embarrassed and depressed. He was disappointed with the Word who chose to remain silent and not help him. Even Firman just turned his head and immediately turned his eyes away.

“Be careful deck!” said a participant who helped Arin rise from his position.

“So brother!” said Arin and when looking at him Arin only knew that it was Brother Zulkarnain. The BEM chairman. Arin became even more embarrassed when he found out about it. He pretended to clean his clothes soiled by dust with his hands.

“Sick yes?” asked Izzul attentively.

“No brother!” replied Arin sung.

“There are injuries?” again Izzul asked attentively.

“It looks like no brother!” arin replied while forcing his smile. In fact, in his heart he just wanted to cry. The unbearable shame and also the attitude of the Word made him want to just disappear at that time.

“Yes, let me continue to share the cake! You rest there!” izzul's orders to Arin.

“No brother! I'm not papa! Let me continue!” arin refused Izzul's orders.

“You're a ketchup deck! It's less focused! Here's me!” Izzul still forced Arin. .

Seeing Izzul who is so insistent will replace his duties. Arin finally gave the remaining bread that had not been distributed to Izzul. He chose to leave immediately. He was already too embarrassed to face the other participants who were currently still paying attention towards him.
