Sabrang And Mentari

Meeting at Bookstore

Sabrang's phone rang many times. So as to make the man wake up from his sleep, he lazily grabbed the square-shaped object located not far from his bed. He faintly saw the screen of the phone, the name of Clara there.

"Hello Clar." Sabrang returned to lay his body on his favorite soft mattress.

"Mank, the cave is already the way to kost'an lo, hunting bath there is a class of Mr. Bambang this morning." Clara's voice came from across the phone.

Sabrang patted the eel, he just remembered if this morning there was a Taxation class. The guy stared at the blind clock stuck to the wall, already showing at 7:30 a.m. But the sleepiness still fell on his eyes.

"The cave is absent Clar, still sleepy cave." Sabrang answered lazily.

"No, take a shower! look out for you if the cave is not yet anything," threatened Clara.

"Yes baffles!" Sabrang turned off the phone and went to the bathroom.

Clara always picks Sabrang up with her car if there is a morning lecture. The girl felt that her best friend would not be able to get up early if she did not threaten her.

***

That morning in the taxation class, Sabrang passed with a lecture by Mr. Bambang. The life of mankind in search of work. Mr. Bambang felt that the habit of Sabrang who always forgot to do the task could have an impact on his future.

After listening for a long time to the lecturer's speech, Sabrang looked happy after glancing at the clock on his cellphone screen.

"Today's class is enough, we meet next week," said Mr. Bambang who was greeted boisterously by students and students.

Sabrang's face looked bright as if he had just escaped from the Holywood film labor camp. Mr. Bambang's closing word at the end of class was the only word that sounded melodious in his ears. He always looked forward to the word coming out from the beginning of the class.

Sabrang looked at Clara who was sitting not far from him, who then responded to Clara's nod a moment later.

Clara seemed to understand Sabrang's gaze after the lecture class was finished, if translated in human language is "Clar canteen yuk but the cave has no money."

"Now down Clar, there's a crazy man." Sabrang stopped his eating when he saw a man walking into the cafeteria. The guy buried his head in the menu paper that was on the table.

Clara smiled at Sabrang's behavior, she could already guess who the "Crazy Person" Sabrang meant.

"Hello My best friend ..." said a curly-haired man. The man seen from the structure of the face is actually more worthy of being a lecturer than the student greeted Sabrang and Clara cheerfully.

"Clara, you always look the prettiest on campus, like a flower blooming among the wild grasses." The man smiled at Clara then looked at Sabrang cynically as if Sabranglah weed he meant.

She sat down next to Clara and immediately drank Sabrang's coffee.

"Thank you Sep, the compliment .. but if today you want to pay the cave money again, pay first yesterday." Clara said quietly but was able to make Asep surasep silent for a moment.

Asep looked at Sabrang who had started to continue his coffee activities.

"Cave kidneys haven't been sold, free lo minjam cave money."

Sabrang's eyes were then fixed on one of the tables not far from his seat. A woman he saw yesterday was seen ordering something while opening a Laptop.

Asep's eyes followed the direction of Sabrang's gaze then gave a small smile. "Oh .. Is that a new boy named Mentari? He's a neighbor of the cave complex, play cave first."

Asep started to boast. Sabrang and Clara stared at each other then shook her head.

This failed curly creature that was in front of Sabrang did feel the center of attention of all women on campus.

"Just a nyamperin cave doi first." Asep walked closer to Mentari.

"Death to Clar, he's gonna embarrass us again." Sabrang looked at Clara who remained indifferent to playing with her phone.

"Content yes? Still want the same cave?" Asep presented his sweetest smile in front of Mentari.

Mentari stopped his activity in front of the laptop, then looked at Asep in confusion. "Sorry who?" his question raised one eyebrow.

Sabrang again buried his face while whispering to Clara. "Well, what the cave says, a rare species of Asep's kayak is a very shy seneng, Clar. Anyway, if that crazy guy goes back to this table again we pretend to be dead."

Sabrang looked at Asep with pity, who was still trying to convince and even lead to force the girl before him that they knew and played first.

The afternoon sky in the city of Bandar Lampung looks bright, as bright as the clothes Sabrang wears. He walked into a bookstore by himself. This time Clara did not come with him because she had to pick up her father at the airport.

Clara is the son of a successful businessman, her father works as a large contractor while her mother has a hotel business in several areas.

Sabrang down the bookshelf lined neatly, his eyes were drawn to a book that was superimposed on the top. "The Sword of the Fire Dragon" the title written quite large in the book's cover, made Sabrang frown.

"This is if not one of the most phenomenal novels like him, do not expect now it has been printed in book form."

Sabrang then posed while holding the book as if to say, "Don't ask Crazy up continue to vote if you're still allergic to the former path of his new girlfriend."

Without Sabrang realizing it, his strange activity caught the attention of one of the bookstore waiters. He stood not far from where Sabrang was standing while looking at the man with pity.

After successfully embarrassing himself. Sabrang stepped towards the bookshelf that read Economics. He is indeed looking for a Taxation book for Pak Bambang courses. Suddenly his steps came to a halt for a moment, after seeing someone he knew was busy searching for a book.

Slowly Sabrang stepped closer to the girl, then grabbed the book on the shelf to show if she "accidentally" greeted the girl.

"You're the son of the Sublime Bakti Economy, huh?" Sabrang ventured to greet Mentari.

Mentari turned to the voice that greeted him and seemed to think for a moment. "yes sister, brother mmenya mbak Clara huh?"

Sabrang smiled sweetly then nodded slowly. He felt relieved not to be "Asep" right by the sweet woman who was in front of him.

"Sabrang Cave, class of 97." Sabrang extended his hand to shake his hand.

"So comment on brother."

"Yes, brother, there's an introductory task of Economics."

Mentari scratched his non-itchy head and smiled slightly as he looked at the book that was in Sabrang's hands.

"Baby reading a book too?"

"Oh yes dong .. We as prospective leaders of the nation, in the future must be diligent in reading books. It is said that books are the windows of the world." Sabrang was a little bragging, he wanted to look a little smart in front of Mentari.

"But the brother of the book." Mentari's hand pointed to the book that was in Sabrang's grasp.

"Oh this is one of gu's favorite books ...." Sabrang did not continue his words, he was speechless looking at the book Cover that read "HOW TO QUICKLY LEARN SANTET SCIENCE"

Mentari smiled at the behavior of his older brother.

"So this is." Sabrang tried to find self-defense if he was not a follower of the cult, "Our cave intention as the next generation of the nation must also know the dangers of witchcraft." The guy tried to cover up his embarrassment.

Mentari scrunched his forehead while continuing to stare at Sabrang.

"The cave neighbor yesterday's abis ate suddenly died." Sabrang gives an example.

"Because?" tanya Mentari again scrunched her forehead.

"Not but a chicken bone sprain."

This time Mentari could not hold back her laughter.

Sabrang looked at Mentari with a smile. "Lo is very sweet if you laugh tar again," Sabrang murmured in his heart.

The shopkeeper looked at him with pity.

After wandering around looking for books, they decided to stop at a restaurant not far from the bookstore.

Sabrang ordered one serving of chicken rice for the sun and one serving of rice sauce for him.

"Cock is just steamed rice, brother?" The sun stared at the plate in front of Sabrang. The half-serving rice plus the pooled coconut milk sauce almost filled the plate caught the attention of the girl.

"Oh, according to the book that the cave read earlier .. One way to ward off eating is to eat rice sauce."

Mentari laughed again but this time he did not want to discuss it further because his stomach had given a sign to fill.

The Mentari spoon slowly cuts the grilled chicken on the plate then eats it.

Sabrang sucked the coconut milk in front of him full of appreciation.

Shortly after the scene of the drama's full meal was completed, a man who had been seen riding a motor sport was seen approaching Mentari.

"Well, looking for the book? Turn yuk! it was late afternoon" the young man asked.

Mentari nodded slowly then introduced the man to Sabrang

"This brother Rendi is my friend, Ren this is Brother Sabrang my campus friend."

Sabrang and Rendi shook hands with suspicious looks.

"I am first, brother. Thank you for letting me." Mentari got up from her seat and walked following Rendi.

Sabrang stared at the departure of Mentari accompanied by the song Umbrella Teduh "For Women in Hugs"

Sabrang scrunched his forehead, he felt that the lyrics of the song were wrong this time.

"Four Thousand? Many Debts? Since When Do Umbrellas Get a Lot of Debt."

"All ForTY THOUSAND" the stall owner's voice broke Sabrang's daydream and then handed him a feeding bon.

Sabrang turned to the bon paper in the hand of the owner of the food stall. He let out a long sigh and felt that this time he would be back in debt.

"There's something we need to discuss about that bond first." Sabrang looked at the owner of the stall with a clear face.
