October 20**13

Campus basement parking**

Rara goes to campus again for the first time since Rara is ill and considered running away from her mass. After turning off the motorbike engine, he felt the sound of his heartbeat tighten and heed his ears to other sounds in the parking lot.

after standing still for a while, he took a deep breath, his shoulders rose, he exhaled loudly. Rara began to step away from the parking lot to head for the third floor.

In each of her strenuous steps, Rara's mind kept her guessing about what would happen to her today in class.

'Mom Diah, students, HMJ, scholarships, all over, the whole campus, what are they going to do to me." she said.

"Srsst.."

The hissing sound stopped Rara's steps. Someone approached from behind. Rara closed her eyes, guessed in her heart, who behind her was definitely the one who would give her sharp and hurtful words.

"nihh take it easy" said the man.

Rara turned her body. Edy stood behind him holding out a portable MP3 complete with his headset.

"It's hard to hear people say" Edy said as he more closely thrust an MP3 into his hand. "Later in the class again," he continued, passing after Rara welcomed his offer.

"Ed," Rara calls to stop Edy's move. "barengg," Rara says again as she walks quickly after Edy.

They walked together to class. Edy stepped quietly and normally, although everything she met on the road showed a face with incredible surprise and conjecture. While Rara who was trying to ignore everything with music from Edy in her ear, was finally able to step in with the same feeling as Edy.

Passing through the classroom door, Rara took off the headset in her ear and sat down with Edy on the back bench. Without music in her ears, voices and reality again dropped Rara mentally. He was afraid of everyone. Willy comes, Sarah comes, people come one by one. Rara kept her head down and busied herself by pretending to open the book.

When entering the classroom, from the door to the seat, Willy continued to look at Rara. After putting down her bag and bottled drinks, Willy approached Rara and took her out for a while. 'There are interests to talk about', he said. And since the class hasn't started yet, Rara obeys Willy.

Rara and Willy talk outside the classroom, until Miss Diah arrives.

"Good morning" Diah passed shortly after Rara and Willy had returned to their seats. "Presence group six yes," said Ms. Diah again when she arrived at the table.

Ms. Diah picked up the attendance list and walked to the front row of the center table. At first glance he looked at the contents of the class, his gaze stopped and sharpened to the back corner, where Edy and Rara were sitting that morning.

"Calm down" Edy clasped Rara's trembling hand. "People with the truth, there's no reason not to calm down."

"that's not the case in this country" replied Rara while releasing her hand from Edy's grasp.

Presentation groups are moving forward. The attendance sheet was given by Bu Diah to be rotated around the class to be signed by the students present.

"Annjinns!" edy said slowly after the presence sheet reached his hand.

"Ed??" rara said spontaneously. her face was full of questions.

Edy shows the presence sheet to Rara.

Edy and Rara's names were dropped from Diah's list. Rara was surprised and confused to see it. His eyes were red with tears, he didn't know what to do.

"Have Type-ex?" ask Edy to Rara.

"Huh?" Rara is confused.

Edy opens Rara's pencil case. He tip-ex his name on the presence sheet that was crossed out Bu Diah. Then he rewrote his name again in absentia with a pen.

"This. Dengerin hatu you," said Edy as he lifted the tip-ex and offered it to Rara. "Socrates," said Edy again as she looked into Rara's eyes and instilled courage in them.

Rara closed her eyes for a moment. And with a hint of hesitation, Rara finally grabbed it as well. He overlaid Miss Diah's scribble with Tip-ex. Seeing Rara who was still a little scared, Edy helped her. Edy wrote Rara's name back in Absence.

'Rara Novitri' Edy wrote.

Saturday afternoon. Member Meeting at Sekre HMJ

After what happened to Bu Diah's class about the Type-ex incident some time ago, Rara's good name slowly recovered. His once lost friends now return with warm hugs and handshakes to Rara. There were no more scorns and sharp glances approaching Rara again.

'Rara came back' that's the headline in the campus mimgguan bulletin.

"From the beginning, I was sure Rara could solve this problem" Kang Dendy appreciated. "I know Rara, Kok. He's a good boy, if not good there's no way he can sit here as our chairman."

"Thank you, Kang," said Rara slowly with her head held low.

"Yes kang, Rara is a good person, we all know that," Willy continued Kang Dendy.

"Willy !!" Rara refused to be exalted.

"All the problems that yesterday, indeed again the unlucky Rara who met with Edy. All that was the work of Edy mengelakan it." said Willy confidently in the circle of friends HMJ. "If Kang Dendy and everyone here saw Edy's face in that class" he continued.

"Udahh, willy" Rara tries to cut.

"It was the first time I saw Edy being cornered and not saying anything like that" Sarah continued.

The entire group present at the meeting was curious. And because no agenda was discussed, Willy was asked to tell the last incident in Bu Diah's class related to Edy and Rara.

"The reception was back to Ms. Diah" Willy told her enthusiastically.

"He was angry and shouted the names of Edy and Rara. Miss Diah who was very offended, ordered Edy and Rara out of the class, but yes as usual, Edy fought back" Willy said.

"Edy questions Ms. Diah's reason why her name and Rara were dropped and why She and Rara were expelled from the class" Willy continues the story. "Bu Diah won't answer, yes people are clear, the entire campus knows the mistakes of Edy and Rara. There, Ms. Diah got angry and went back to asking Edy and Rara out of her class." continued Willy again.

"i heard, it's all thanks to you two" Kang Dendy told Willy and Sarah. "Couldn't you? How's story?"

"Again, like Kang Dendy, I also believe that Rara is a good person," Willy said as he threw his smile at Rara, who just looked down and didn't say much.

"At that time, I felt the need to stand up and talk" Willy continued. "I told Ms. Diah that it was all a misunderstanding. From the first day this problem started, Rara was not involved at all. Rara framed Edy. About them skipping together, the issue of them falling in love with each other, and about the photo of the two of them used for journalistic friends was all the work of Edy. Where could Rara want to be with Edy.

I told Ms. Diah that the scribbles rewritten in that attendance were the same, all Edy did. I asked Ms. Diah to think back and remember who Rara was and who Edy was. I asked Ms. Diah to look at their tracks. I said that there was no way Rara could handle all of this of her own free will. Again, this is all Edy did.

Hearing my explanation, Miss Diah asked Rara the truth. But Rara just shut up."

"Maybe because Rara was afraid" Sarah said. "For that time he sat next to Edy."

"Yes" willy took over the story again. "But I'm not staying silent. I kept talking to convince Ms. Diah. Although Edy pointed at me many times and threatened me, but I was not afraid, I did not stop.

Even in that class I had support and testimony. A student sitting next to Rara spoke, saying she saw Edy holding Rara's hand, but Rara did not want to and pulled her hand back. In addition, he had also heard Edy talk rudely to Rara, the witness said he heard Edy say 'Doggy' to Rara there.

Everyone in the class supported Rara. I open one more thing to Miss Diah. I told Ms. Diah that Edy was outside the classroom, always calling Ms. Diah Si Anying. I asked for class support to corroborate my accusations. The whole class laughed and nodded. Edy was speechless at the time. At the same time, Sarah walks up to Rara to give her support and to persuade her to speak.

And finally, Miss Diah who was very upset, asked Rara again, "Is that all right, Rara?"

Thankfully, Rara spoke. 'Yes, this is all Edy's doing'. Well in short, that's the story on that amazing morning" Willy closed.

"Great you Willy" said one of the members there. "Wait brave" said the other members.

"It's all over" Willy said again.

"Which happened, on this happy afternoon, Rara was back among us. Rara's back" Willy said again ending his dramatic story.

"Unbelievably, we all owe you one" Kang Dendy told Willy. "Also to Sarah. You not only saved Rara, but also saved HMJ's face."

Except for Rara, everyone there applauded and appreciated Willy and Sarah. The two men are considered to have shown extraordinary courage and solidarity.
