SENIORS

Stay

Three days later, I was well healed. My body is no longer weak. Tomorrow I can go to college as usual.

 During these three days, Tina went to the campus alone. She said she felt lonely because there was no me beside her. Tina also told me that yesterday Jongdae came to see her, asking Tina about my situation. From the way Tina spoke, I can conclude that Tina was less fond of Jongdae. Yes, although every time Tina met always greeted Jongdae kindly. Tina suggested that I not get too close to Jongdae, as he was a new person. I just say yes, even though I do not know in the future how. All I see is, bang Jongdae is a good guy. He wanted to bother to take me home. I told Tina about it, but she was still wary that I was too close to Jongdae's bang. I call him 'bang' just to fit better on the tongue of Indonesian people. Hehe.

 At 12 noon. I was lying in my room listening to music. Waiting for Christina who said she would be home from college soon. Today, Tina is only two hours away from campus. And straight home, he didn't go to the library because he said he was lazy if he wasn't with me. She would rather go home to the dorm and spend time with me.

 A few minutes later, Tina came into my room. His hand carried a bowl of porridge and two cups of tiger sugar. My eyes sparkle to see it. I changed my position from sleep to sitting. Every time I go back to college, Tina always brings me food or drinks. "Porridge?"

 

He gave it to me, then sat down at the study table. "Yes, eat. Are you feeling better?"

 I put a spoonful of porridge in my mouth, and then took off. " I'm going to college tomorrow. You take it easy."

 "Yetoooo. I'm so bored, Va."

 "Bored? I can find another friend, Tina. In a crowded classroom, right?" In my opinion, Tina is a person who is easy to get along with and blend in with the environment. But, I never saw her have any friends other than me in college.

 "Reva, the only Korean we want to talk to in our class is three. The rest are busy with their own business. I'm having a hard time finding friends here, you're the only one that's easy to interact with."

 Also true. I see people here rarely talk if they don't know. Fortunately, I met Tina who was super duper both understanding and accompanying me whenever and wherever. "Yes too, anyway. So, where are we going?"

 "Hey, you just got well. Tomorrow we go on the road again. Let's just karaoke in the living room let's get in a good mood."

 I put down the porridge bowl, Tina gave me a drink. "No interest?" I'm afraid Minah's rampaging again like yesterday." Yesterday afternoon Minah threw all our shoes arranged near the entrance. He was angry that his shoes were dirty because he was accidentally stepped on by Tina. At that time Tina had already explained and promised to take responsibility by washing it immediately. But Minah did not want to listen. He threw all the shoes and sandals that were arranged on the shoe rack. As a result, everything fell apart. Tina and I took care of it, tidied it up again. Tina washed Minah's dirty shoes. Since then, our relationship that was already tenuous increasingly tenuous. Until this moment, Tina and I were still confused about what caused Minah to act like that to us.

 Tina tidied up my food, she got up. "Don't worry, keep going outside." He walked out of the room first.

 I hesitantly got off the bed, and followed Tina's steps. The girl turned on the sound system. So, in this small central space, in the facilitation of television, dvds, karaoke tools, and fans.

Usually who often hang out here is Minah, the girl is very comfortable here. Sometimes, he brought his karaoke friends along. Until - until I and Tina always piqued because the volume was too large. I think this time Tina wants revenge, Minah is not there.

 "Revenge, is this the story?" At the end of the sentence, I chuckled.

 "obvious. We should be like him too. Minah can't just do something that bothers us. We have to pay it back."

 "AHA."

 The song starts playing. We both sang Tears songs. Korean song with that long tone. I laughed amusedly as Tina tried to reach the highnote but failed. As a result, her voice became like a goat wanted to give birth. Tina's voice is too funny for me. Very unique.

 While we were singing, the door opened. Minah looks with three friends carrying groceries. Looks like they're going to party.

 Music is still on. Tina deliberately sang a scream - a shout, so that Minah felt disturbed and angry. I put down the mic - me, bangkir from sitting and then took a few steps back when Minah put on an emotional look, yes her anger will soon explode. But Tina didn't care, she kept singing.

 Minah walked over, turning off the karaoke. Television too. " Yak! That very ugly sound of you can make my eardrum rupture instantly if you don't stop it immediately." His tone rose by several octaves, his face was already flushed red.

 The war will start soon. I took a few more steps back. If I am someone who is very easy to forgive and easily succumbed, inversely proportional to Tina. He is a brave man, not reluctant to fight anyone who provokes his emotions. I think Tina likes to fight powerful people like Minah.

 Tina stood up, she put the mic. Cut the distance between him and Minah. Now, the two of them were already facing off while putting on a ferocious excretion.

 Uh, I hope there's no jambak event this time.

 "What right do you have to stop my activities and Reva?" Tina's hands are closed. The look he gave Minah was very piercing.

 "of course. You don't realize that your voice can bother me and my friends." He glanced at his friend who was still standing by the door. Their faces also wore unpleasant expressions. "You understand, right?" Minah suddenly pushed Tina's shoulder until she was pushed back, fortunately not to fall because I swiftly held her back.

 Tina took another few steps. He pushed back Minah's shoulder, Minah's friends held Minah. "Then what right do you have to take your friends to our room?"

 "You're so annoying." Minah slaps Tina's cheek, then grabs Tina's strung hair. Tina seemed to grimace a little because of that.

 Not to be outdone, Tina responded by grabbing Minah's bound hair. "****like you deserve to be treated like this." For example, he is getting more raging.

I panicked not playing. I tried to separate them both but failed. His friend Minah also tried to divorce, then the two stopped grabbing each other.

 "Russia, Tina. Let's just get out of here. There's no point in serving people who are powerful and want to win by themselves," I trim Tina's hair that has been random - scramble.

 Meanwhile, Minah was still staring at us sharply. "Stupid motherfucker! Just die you!"

 I immediately took Tina outside before the quarrel became more and more. They feared they would attack him even worse. Fortunately it was not hit - a punch. Be present.

 

******

 

 "Control your emotions, Tina. Too much anger is not good for heart health."

 "Huh. Let's just have lunch. The quarrel had really drained my energy."

 "As far as you are. Come on!"

 The sun is not too hot, so people are free to walk on the asphalt without fear of scorching skin. Including me and Tina.

 It didn't take long, Tina and I easily found a nearby restaurant that was open two pulu four hours. So, if the night - night go can also snggah here.

 We ordered some food as usual. Bulgogi, kimchi, bibimbap, jajangmyeon, and tteokpoki. I was surprised to see a portion of Tina eating that was twice as much as usual. "If you're angry, your appetite increases, huh, Tina?" My gaze could not be separated from Tina who had eaten greedily.

 "That's not why you should ask again. I am like this. Don't keep looking at me like that, when are you gonna eat?"

 "Ah, yes."I woke up and immediately ate kimchi with rice. "I never thought Minah would play physical violence. Is your cheek okay? I saw him slapping so hard that - until a loud sound rang out. I'm afraid your teeth are falling out, Tina."

 "Look easy. You don't have to worry, Reva. I am strong. Since childhood I have been taught karate. So to me being slapped and pinched like that was common. I could've made Minah tepar but unfortunately I still realize she's weak."

 Tina's story has succeeded in making me not wince. It was only fitting that Tina was not afraid to fight back, it turned out that was the reason.

 "Ohh, that's it." I sipped orange juice. Very fresh taste, in the daytime like this drink cold oranges. "Duty from lecturer kim jongdeok have you finished?"

 "It has. I've also been working on yours, Reva. You don't have to bother thinking about it anymore."

 "Really?" My eyeballs widened, while Tina nodded casually while eating the jjajangmyeon noodles. "Aaa thank you so much, Tinaaa!" Spontaneously I hugged Tina because I was so excited, making Tina a mess.

 "Yes, same - same. Where are we going? Before you go back to college, you have to be happy first, Reva."

 I was thinking for a moment, "hmm, clothes shop? Wasn't yesterday before I got sick you took me shopping for clothes, right?"

 "yes too. We'll get some skincare, all right?"

"YES!"

 

******

 The sun is about to set. We brought home a lot of groceries. The price of clothes here is expensive - expensive. Including skincare. I think I should be frugal, it's like asking Papa for money embarrassed me. I don't like to bother them. Mama called me yesterday because she heard that I was sick. Then he lectured me as usual. I guessed, Dita must have told Kak Rezi, even though the girl promised not to report to Mama. Indeed, he did not report to Mama, but Kak Rezi, is cute. Obviously, he did.

 When we entered our room, how shocked Tina and I were to see the chaos. My mouth was gaping wide and Tina was pecking. Our living room is messed up, messy. Minah and her friends are partying. They're drunk. Bottles of soju and wine were plastered on a small table. The three girls were drunk heavily, Minah laughs not clearly see us who stand pecking.

"He's so crazy." Tina muttered not taking her eyes off them.

 I gulped with difficulty, really shocked. Just this time I watched in front of my eyes, drunk people drinking alcohol. Absolutely shock. In India, never. I also rarely meet drunk people.

 Minah approached us and she pulled my hand to sit with them over a drink. I refused, but he kept pulling me strong - strong. Tina who saw that was quick to help me not be forced to drink with Minah.

 "You're really crazy, Minah. It's dormitory. It's not your house you can do. You don't consider me and Reva at all!" Tina snapped, and it turned out that Minah was emotionally ignited.

 No, the war will happen again. Minah's face flushed red, holding back anger. I who saw that rushed Tina into her room. Before the more sadistic quarrel happened, I saved Tina. Yes, even though the girl is brave - dare to beat Minah.

 Quickly I closed Tina's bedroom door. My groceries are placed near the door. Tina sat at the study table. I was sitting on the floor, slumping over the door. "I don't think about it" I muttered in shock. My heart was beating fast with fear. Fortunately, Tina immediately pulled me close, otherwise she could - she could have forced the alcohol on me.

 "Please calm yourself, Reva. I know you're shocked. I won't let that crazy woman do anything that doesn't - not to you. I could've beaten him up if he'd been acting crazy."

 I'm nodding. "I think the relationship between the three of us will get worse after this."

 "Let's just be. His behavior is very disgusting. We don't deserve to be friends with him."

 "Do we have to exchange the roommate, yes, to the hostel?" To be honest, for a long time I could not stand the behavior and behavior of Minah at will.

 Tina breathed a tired sigh. "There's no way we can do it anymore, Reva."

 "I feel very disturbed. Interest is too much." Heads down. I don't feel right here if this is the story.

 Tina approached, telling me to go into my own room, I just obeyed. "Please calm yourself, Reva. You must dare to face Minah. No need to fear, he and we are the same - human. Fight if you want to."

 "alright. I'll go to my room first. Good night, Tina."

 I went out and entered my room next to Tina. I did not forget to bring the groceries I bought.
