One Hundred Eighty Degrees
Skipping Lunch



Time shows twelve o'clock past five minutes.  All orientation participants are welcome to take a break for lunch.  The next session will begin at thirteen. 


Arin rushed to the campus cafeteria for lunch.


At first he intended to take Nabila to eat.  But unfortunately, Nabila could not accompany him because there were some interests that urged him not to join lunch with Arin.


Arin decided to go alone.  Because for him there are still no other friends who are quite familiar and can be invited to eat together. Arriving at the cafeteria, he immediately ordered a meal complete with his favorite drink. He did not put food in his mouth. Suddenly from the side sat a man who was out of nowhere.  Curious, Arin turned his gaze to the side. Once again he was surprised by the arrival of this man.  Someone who is no longer a stranger to him.


“Hai! “ a sweep on Arin with a big smile


Arin silently did not answer. He was annoyed and arrogant when he knew that person was Firmansyah.


“Hai miss!  Alone already?  Can you please not? “


Arin remained silent not answering.  He hurried to lift the plate and the glass in front of him.  I mean move on another empty table. But baby, as he stared around.  The other table was filled with other students.


“It looks like the stock of his table has run out, miss! So can I also eat here?” The Word is still persistent with some of his questions. Arin chose to sit back with a very forced condition. He was silent and did not answer.


“Hmm, beautiful Arin neng_”


“Can't you shut up? Disturb people more fun to eat!” arin snarled sarcastically cutting through the conversation of the Word just now.


“Duh, jutek very non? I came here because_”


“Important know not! Stupid fuck! Males look at your face.  Make no appetite!” arin snapped once again cutting the Word Talk.


Arin rushed from his seat to get away from the table.  But with a swift Word took his hand.


“Arin wait!  Where are you going?”


“Not your business! Take care not?”


“Arin you haven't eaten. Okay, I'm leaving.  But you have to eat yes!”


“Udah no lust!”


“Arin earlier Om Irawan called me. Ask for help making nyamperin and see how you are.”


“Ok, please report that I am fine before I know that you are also studying at this campus”. Arin answered while pulling his hand from the grasp of the Word. After that he turned and passed. Never give up the Word tailed him from behind. Walk faster and block Arin's steps.


“Can I ask for something ama you?” ask Arin without looking at the Word.


“By a bang!” answer the Word with passion.


“Can't?  If we act like we've never known?”


“You mean? “


“Please ignore me, and act like we don't know each other,!”


“Can't!” answer the Word briefly.


Arin shifted his position then quickly passed by.  Hope the Word no longer blocks his steps. This time he was not only walking but half running.


“Arin! You haven't had lunch!” scream the Word from behind.


Arin did not listen and did not listen intentionally. He immediately reached into the cell phone in the pocket of his alma mater.


“Hello, papa!  Papa, why not say the hell that Mas Firman also studied here? At the same college as Arin? “ Ask Arin on her papa full of emotions.


“Honey, if papa told you from the beginning.  Where do you want to go to college there?”


“Trus is the story intentionally so?  Papa means I'm in college here.  So that you can get one campus with him?”


“Betul very dear! Do not be angry with the Word.  This is papa's plan!”


“No pa!  I don't like it!  What the fuck is this? “


“Honey, listen to papa first!  Only Word that you can ask for help to keep you in a city as big and dangerous as Jakarta! Papa is not calm if you go to college in a place that if there is no one you know. No relatives can take care of you and help you!”


“You don't know, baby.  How dangerous is the city you live in today.  If you don't have someone who can protect”


“But pa, why should he anyway? “


“Because he's the best man that papa believes in. In papa's eyes. You know for yourself how papa really trusts the Word?”


“Tau so, Arin does not want to lecture here.”


“And papa can't possibly get you a lecture away from mama and papa.  If finally no one can take care of you.”


“Yes already, free debate equally papa.  In the end, I still considered the children to be equally papa. I close first yes phone “. Said Arin ketus and immediately pressed the end panel on the screen phone.


After a long argument.  Finally Arin realized, that it was useless He protested so loudly. Because in the end. Everything that happens must be in accordance with the will of his father.


Mama, Arin must inform her mother immediately. He pressed his phone again and called his mother's number.


“Halo, ma!”


“Iya darling? What's up?”


“Mama know not? I'm with the same campus ma!” arin suddenly said.


“He who do you mean?” ask Mama Arin who still does not understand where Arin means.


“Firmashayah Abdala ma! Son of aunt Fatimah.”


“What?” mama Arin was so shocked when she heard it. “You're one campus with him?”


“Iya ma. I called papa and asked him this. Papa said he deliberately educated me at this college. So I can have an alma mater for that guy. So I have someone to take care of papa.”


“Oh god, what the hell is your papa!” mama Arin replied, getting upset.


“Ma, please dong call papa! Mama madurin papa ma! Tell him I don't want a college with him. I just want him to move out of this university. Because I can't possibly cancel my lecture here. I am very comfortable here ma!” arin said whining to his mother.


“Arin, if you think about it, it's true that you are at the same University he wants. You are now grown up. Mama thinks this is the right time.” said mama Atin trying to provide a solution.


“Meanour mother? I don't understand.”


“Mama means. It's time you started your revenge on him. Didn't you say that they have to pay for our suffering?” mama Arin started to smile cunningly.


“So, how should I ma?” ask Arin plain.


“Okay, Arin! Arina! He said you want revenge? Mama thinks this is the right time.”


“What should I do ma?”


“Just relax, baby, we set the strategy first. You now focus on the same time as your orientation. How's it? Excited?”


“Yeah, this is not yet anything ma. Just opened it. Tau deh later how.”


“Ya. Have you had lunch?”


“Not yet. Here I'm again looking for food.”


“Yes already hunted, eat first! We'll call again.”


“OK, most recently malem mah. Oscar's been his show all day.”


“He is not papa. Mama wait.”


“Miss you ma!” arin said he intended to close the conversation.


“Miss you to” replied Mama Arin and hung up.
