RAGIL (First Love)
TWENTY
When there is no bond, why be limited in making friends?
-azka
It has been two days since Saga's departure to Bangkok. Azka spends her own inter-class breaks inside the reading room of her faculty building. He drowned his head in the pile of books that had long been on his reading list. It had been about an hour that the room had become his home. The reading room was so quiet, there was only him and two others there. Many times the guards of the room went in and out but found no additional humans sitting there. All three looked seriously diving in the lines of sentences that were on each page. The guard decided to leave the three while he went to the dining room to rest. Just as He was about to close the door after telling the three people in it that He was going away for a while, He found a man standing behind him. He was shocked to almost stop. The man in front of her was just grinning with a silly look.
"Mom, can I come in?" tannya
"May" answered the mother of the guard of the room and allowed the man to write a list of visitors. After the man was done, the mother guard of the room again stepped out, closed the door a little more slowly and rushed off towards the dining room.

Azka was reading the book "Great Idea: Crick, Wattson, and DNA" when a book was slowly pounding beside her reading table. Azka bearded in surprise because since then there was no sound other than the sound of scraping open sheets of books. He immediately looked towards the voice that suddenly drew him from within the reading before him. A familiar face.
"Ssh, don't you have Kara's job?" azka asked cynically when she found the boy next to her.
"This is my job Tea" he said, patting the book softly in front of him. Azka just rolled her eyeballs off guard, then continued her reading activities that had paused.
"Seriously very tea" Kara again harassed Azka's activities.
"I read Kara again" Azka said without raising her head.
"So, how did it happen? Have you met her parents?" the question made Azka turn to the bully.
"Oh Kara, should we discuss that now? In the reading room?" tanya Azka whispered a little. He did not want to disturb the two people who were also seriously diving between their books.
"Then let's get out" Kara closed the book in front of her, preparing to get up from her seat.
"Eh?? It's not finished yet" Azka said, holding the man's arm back to sit down. Kara snorted angrily and then returned to her position.
"Let's have some tea, laper.. Eat yuk" Invite him a little bit of pity. Azka who saw that immediately giggled amusedly. Finally He nodded, taking care of the books He had borrowed and his scattered belongings.
"I taro these books first on the shelf" he said as he stood followed by Kara.
Azka puts the books in their original place, while Kara follows them from behind. He noticed Azka's movements in a thin smile. After the four books that Azka had borrowed back to their respective places, Azka and Kara came out of the room. Azka closed the room very slowly until she barely made a sound.
"So you only met her mother?" Azka nodded as she sipped the drink she had ordered. "So why did it have to be that tough yesterday?" Ledek Kara from behind a bowl of soto whose smoke is seen billowing.
"The first time should be brought to meet parents by men. How's it not tense?"
"Is it really the first time? I can't believe it!" ledek Kara again with a laugh.
"Emm, yes not first anyway, hahaha" Azka laughs, She remembers how she got to know the Rasha family even to her grandmother.
"Then, how are you with him now? Is there progress?" ask Kara curiously
"Emm, yeah that's it. He's in Bangkok now"
"really?"
"So for a few weeks you're free?" ask Kara nyeleneh
"Hahaha, why?" ask Azka laugh
"Yes, that means I have you as a friend for the next few weeks" he replied
"Hey, there's also him you can be friends with me Kara" Azka smiled.
"Yes, but he certainly wouldn't be so happy" he replied languidly
"We are not always together every day. He's a busy man if you know" Azka said, spreading her shoulders. "I'm nobody to him, he's nobody to me right now. So, why should we be limited in making friends, right?" azka continued while looking at Kara who was smiling.
"All right, then. I'm very happy to have friends at a time like this" he said. "You know tea? I'm struggling to finish the final task, when my friends aren't here much. Yeah, that's a little hard" she said.
"I understand, so Let's be friends" Azka exclaimed happily
"Yeeeh" Kara exclaimed. Both of them looked like children who were happy because of the gift of candy alone.
Azka and Kara quickly finished off the food and drink they ordered each. But not so quickly they got out of their seats. They dissolve in small talk which makes them occasionally laugh. Kara told me so much about her daily activities. Although it sounds ordinary, but Kara's relaxed, naggy, and hilarious style makes the story so interesting to follow. Azka is happy to be friends with Kara, as well as Kara.

After his meeting with Kara that afternoon, Azka always took the time to meet her. Whether it's in the cafeteria, in the library, in the reading room, or in his classroom after the assistance session is over. Kara always looks enthusiastic every time she meets Azka. His encounter with Azka brought about a great change. He was more excited about completing the final task. In fact, he almost every day always reported the progress of writing it to Azka. Azka is also happy with Kara's progress, at least not only herself who benefits from this friendship.
"Ah, I'm very upset today" Kara said one day, as she approached Azka in the lab room. That day, Azka accompanied Mr. Ara to conduct a practicum in one of the laboratories in their department. When finished, Azka who will still wait for the next assistance schedule invites Kara to meet him there.
"What makes you so upset that your face is so tangled?" ask Azka while going back and forth to clean up the equipment she will use in the next session.
"I have to repeat the research! Mmm, not repeating, but retrieving additional data. I have followed what he wants, but lately like this, even told to take additional data as a supporter" said kara annoyed while brushing her hair original. The hair that was a little long became disheveled.
"Well, how else? Take that data, I'll help you process it. How's it?" azka offered to help.
"Hahaha, do you really understand my research? Hah, don't need tea, just accompany it, that's enough. I'm still confused when to take that data. Though my target is next week already be able to register for the exam." He lowered his head, drowning his head behind a pile of his hands. Azka was a little offended, he had already completed his S1 first. But Azka only smiled amusedly because of Kara's careless behavior in front of her.
"Next week is seven days away. There's still plenty of time. Let's spirit!" yelled Azka who was sitting next to Kara.
"Huffft" Kara grunts lazily.
"Come on, what kind of data does your lecturer want? Let me help" Azka was still trying to raise the spirit of the boy next to her. During this time, Kara who always did so, then today it seems Azka must repay all that.
Kara took the script file from the bag, opening the full sheets of the note on the table. He pointed and explained what his lecturer wanted. Azka furrowed her forehead, frowned, knitted her brows in confusion, or occasionally nodded at the hearing of Kara's invader. Although He did not master the field of research done by Kara, but some described by Kara quite he could understand.
Time is running so fast, the next schedule of assistance is about to begin. Azka regretted having to say that while Kara was still eager to have their small discussions. But Kara's not her name, if she has to frown or sulk. Hahaha, he's a man! It was impossible for men to do such things. Just like women. Kara finally cleaned up her belongings, then withdrew while waving her hand. The witty face disappeared behind the back door of the room along with the arrival of a horde of students who were ready to do the practicum. After almost entirely entering, he only saw Mr. Ara who also entered to complete the practicum activities that day.
"Azka, come here" Mr. Ara called Azka to come forward to help him explain the activities that will be done to the students.
"Well sir" Azka nodded, and walked to the front of the room after tidying up the jaslab that she had just worn.
