"Gue is so worried Mr. Darren will be expelled from this campus because of this problem. You know, again rampant harassment in the campus environment carried out by several lecturers in Indonesia. If you get highlighted with SJW on Twitter, it will run out!" cetus Vera was worried.
(SJW: Social Justice Warrior. About them this was never mentioned in the novel next door)
"It's like you're the same Mr. Darren had no choice but to acknowledge your marriage!" Nadya's words sounded calmer.
The news brought Nadya and Vera suddenly made Karen shocked. Knowing her husband got into trouble because someone took a picture of him under the desk, he rushed to run to the rectorate building. No, she can't stand by her husband being accused like that. Especially being a student.
Yes, in just a short time, the news was widely circulated throughout the campus even at other universities. Because, the info is spread through gossip accounts. Feril and his friends were surprised to read the news.
"The truth of the lecturer in question is Mr Darren?" ask the unsure Feril.
"The word of the person who is cepu-in is that photo! You see, he took secretly this photo again consul in the economics research room. Know for yourself who mastered the research room only professor," said his friend.
(FYI, Cepu slang which means people who like to divulge secrets aka bucket mouths. Cepu if according to KBBI actually means police informant).
"Wuih, the perverted bulls are also professors. Where not to jump!" said the gimbal while grinning.
"If good looking cake she wouldn't be spelled perverted, Ngab. This is still a lot of girls who are at the bottom of lecturers. We live in an age of good looking always defended."
"Don't this be the girl he was holding this morning!" guess one of them, "about which girl, yeah, under?"
"Udah must suck big lollipops! It's obvious that the girl squats when she's sitting."
"Photo gini doang lu on dah ngeres. Too many movies Grandpa Sugi lu on, see ginian doang directly connect to the karoke scene. It could be a girl again taking a pen jatoh or nyemir shoes tuh professor!" said Feril wise sok.
"Tumben so damn brain lu kek testpack line two!" sambar his friend was astonished.
...****************...
On the other hand, Mr. Budi Luhur walked back and forth in the lecturer room. As dean of the faculty of economics, of course he was also dizzy with the scandal involving Darren.
"When I have appealed to Mother and Father so that you can keep limits while teaching and guiding students. Especially Professor Darren was once I warned to keep the authority as a teacher because I saw many students who like to seek attention with him. Uh ... There was even an incident like this. How humiliating!"
"I know Darren very well, sir. I went to school with him and college was once a college. Darren's a tall man. He can't do that!" Marsha defended her former lover in front of Budi Luhur and other lecturers.
"This photo definitely evokes negative perceptions! How can ... there is a woman's foot under her desk, let alone her there too! On what they are there," refuted one of the lecturers pitched ketus.
Marsha fell silent and did not defend again. This time, it must be admitted Darren was very careless and his actions were wrong. He then chose to leave the room and headed to the rectorate building.
"Mrs Marsha ...."
"Karen, can we talk to you for a second?"
Karen nodded, then followed Marsha's steps. The two women were standing in the corner of the second floor of the inspectorate.
"You must know Darren was called Rector because of a photo of a woman's leg on his desk, right?"
Karen nodded with her mouth tightly locked.
Marsha took a moment to sigh, then looked back at Karen. "I know you're his wife, but you shouldn't be giving Darren any trouble. You have to act like a student while you are on campus. Do not be too possessive until the tack continues and disturb him fit again work! If your gini can ruin his career and damage his reputation as a master teacher. This campus is also polluted because of your careless actions," he said with a rumbling voice holding back emotions.
Marsha's words left Karen in a corner. The woman was stupid without defending herself. Like a loss of words.
"Are you aware, why doesn't Darren want to talk up about his marriage? It must be because he was afraid that you might bring trouble for him! And it turns out to be true, it's happening right now! Stop being a burden to Darren!" Marsha instead continues to blame Karen for the scandal that Darren is currently experiencing.
Bring trouble for Darren? Karen repeated Marsha's statement in her heart. Is it true that marrying him only brings trouble to Darren's career? Has he been bothering Darren for his work? Was he just a burden on the man? A few questions suddenly appeared in his mind. Yes, indeed Darren has often warned not to go to the research room. However, he was too stubborn not to break.
"I still don't think, why would Darren want to marry a childish girl!" mumbled Marsha while throwing a cynical look, before leaving the petrified Karen with misty eyes.
Until Marsha leaves from before her, Karen is still silent. His feet were too close to step.
The corridor of the meeting room area was suddenly filled with students who wanted to ascertain the truth of the trending news from Darren directly. Amongst the crowd, there was the guidance student Darren who became the culprit for this matter. Darren's emphatic remark the other day, ignited him to do all this. Moreover, the man challenged him to disclose the evidence he had and asked him to change the guidance counselor.
Feril and his friends also do not want to miss by being there and breaking through the crowd of students. They came like a horde of thugs and asked the students to open a path.
"Awas ... beware ... move .. move aside!"
Successfully breaking through the crowd to be right in front of the meeting room door, Feril and his friends stick their ears on the door, hoping to hear what is being talked about in there.
Nadya and Vera who just arrived then looking for the whereabouts of Karen who should have been there first. Surprisingly, they did not find Karen among the crowd of students.
"Where are you, huh?" nadya asked with eyes running around.
