One Hundred Eighty Degrees

Arin's Answer

After the Word called Papa Arin and told him the real situation. At first Mr. Irawan was very worried and also a little angry. He even ordered the Word to bring Arin home. Do not continue with the activities of the camp.

The very clever and clever Word is able to give a little understanding and also control the anger of Mr. Irawan. So that both of them can continue the activity provided that with some conditions.

The Word immediately agreed to the terms that were actually very easy for him. Of course the condition was related to his extra guard against Arin. Mr. Irawan ordered that he always keep an eye on Arin and should focus on Arin alone.

Papa Arin also made a live video call with Arin. In order to make sure that the child is really fine. He also gave some advice and to Arin. Be more careful and listen more to the Word. And of course a warning not to be far from the Word.

Arin nodded and confirmed all of his papa's messages. He also promised to always be within the reach of the Word.

The Word that hears it can only smile and be proud. So trusting sir Irawan to him that everything related to Arin. He gave it all to the Word.

 “So, um about earlier that we did in-“ Firman felt hesitant to remind Arin of the events that occurred when they were both trapped in the abyss.

“Eh! I'm hungry! Can I not eat?” tanya Arin tried to shift the conversation. He knows exactly what the Word will say. He was embarrassed to talk about that again. More precisely he was not ready to accept the fact that he had done things he should not have done.

“Oh yes I forgot!” word is very worried. “Wait a minute! I'm looking for food first!” say the Word while ruffling Arin's hair. Arin can only nod and feel comfortable with the attitude of the Word that treats him so.

 Firman immediately looked for food that he could buy around the puskesmas. Fortunately, there is a rice shop that is still open. Otherwise he would have to go further to look for it. Because for now it is impossible for him to take the initiative to cook for himself.  Arin has been on fire since. Not only was Arin hungry. The Word also forgot to eat. Because it was too busy looking for and also taking care of Arin since last afternoon.

Firman deliberately bought two servings of rice. So that he can fill his stomach. After getting what he wanted. He returned to Arin.

“I bribe ya?” tanya Firman offered himself.

“Not for me! I'm not sick!” arin refused the offer. “You eat there too gih!” arin commands when he sees another package on the table.

“Ok, I eat first too huh?” The Word asked permission from Arin.

“Iya!” answer Arin briefly.

Actually in the heart of the Word was eager to discuss the incident when in the abyss. Where he had kissed Arin on purpose. However, he suddenly worried that Arin would be angry. He did not know how to ascertain what exactly the relationship between the two of them was after everything that happened. It was impossible if they were just friends anymore.

Arin chose not to discuss it. He knew very well that what he was doing should not return the kiss. Hasn't he approached the Word just for the purpose of revenge? He should not be dissolved by his own feelings. But after all that the Word has sacrificed for him how could he not be destroyed? After all, arin is also an ordinary human who has a taste and mind. It is not a robot that works according to data.

Suddenly Arin felt doubtful about really carrying out his revenge or not. He did not want to hurt the Word who was so sincere in loving him and loving him that much. He knew very well how deep that feeling was when he looked into the eyes of the Word who was so worried about him and so afraid of losing him.

“I when can I get out?” ask Arin at the Word a little pleasantry. So that the atmosphere is not awkward between the two of them.

“Besok mornin you can already join the activity!” answer the Word while chewing its rice.

“I slept here tonight huh?” Arin asked once more. To suggest that he really had to stay in a room that he really did not like.

“Iya! Wh why? Want to sleep at camp?” ask the Word as if you know what is on Arin's mind at this time.

“I don't like hospitals!” arin said a little protest.

“Iya! I'm afraid! Looks like I won't be able to sleep if I have to stay here!” arin said frankly.

“And there I will nemenin you!” answer the Word to calm Arin.

“What if you fall asleep? I'm scared!”

“Quiet darling! There's me!” answer the Word of sin calling dear. He closed his mouth as if unintentionally saying it.

Hearing that, Arin suddenly felt groggy and did not know what else to say. He chose to stop eating and immediately fix the blanket to sleep. In his heart he is so flowery called by the Word. But he tried hard to hide that feeling.

Firman clearly saw Arin's shock reaction when he said the word dear. He knew very well Arin was actually just pretending not to listen and choosing indifference. He became impatient and approached Arin.

“You sure you want to sleep after what you did earlier?” Firman asked while pulling Arin's blanket.

Instantly Arin was shocked and wide-eyed. He doesn't know what to answer and how. Honestly, he was not ready to be asked directly like that.

“Arin you already know how I feel like you?” ask the Word directly to the core of the conversation.

“You mean?” Arin felt like he was the stupidest person right now. His mind is completely blank. But his heart was so turbulent.

“I mean account after earlier what happened to both of us. Are we going to shut up and pretend there's nothing left? Like before?”

Arin was still silent and did not answer. He doesn't know what to answer.

The impatient Word held Arin's cheeks and made Arin look him in the eye.

“I love you!” speak the Word instantly. He looked directly into Arin's clear eyes.

“I can't answer now! I need some time. I was just in a daze for a moment. Maybe the effect of my head being bumped when it falls!” arin said while clasping the two hands of the Word. He immediately turned his eyes in the other direction. Avoiding the gaze of the Word that is so raining into the bottom of his heart.

“What?” The Word can only be astonished and not out of thought Arin said that. His heart suddenly broke and broke. He was disappointed with Arin's answer that did not match his expectations.

“I want to sleep! Please don't bother me! Just accompany me. If you sleep please sleep on that sofa!” arin said so relaxed and calm.  He tried to hold his heart which was actually turbulent. He also tried to hold back his feelings which were actually very passionate.

Arin is indeed good at holding a taste. He is very good at hiding everything.

The disappointed Word could only sit down resignedly on the long sofa available in the room. Inwardly he cursed himself who was acting rashly. He knows exactly how Arin feels. However, for the umpteenth time Arin with all his prestige again rejected him and his feelings.

After that the Word chose to be silent and try to close his eyes which were not sleepy at all. Arin is too. He just lay down and tried to close his eyes. But his thoughts were far from glaring everywhere thinking about all the things he would do after this.
