Sulastri's Struggle.

Chapter 4

Mr. Arman tore Bella's paper into four pieces.

"Bella, if you don't want to get an e, do the job I gave you best" Arman ordered.

"Yes sir" Bella replied, but in her heart she mengedumel.

Mr. Arman returned to teaching but this time with another theme, until the lesson was finished, the break hour came.

Sulastri tidied the book before going out, while the other friends had walked first.

"Tri" said Mr. Arman who had stood in front of him.

"What's wrong?" Lastri looked up, looking at the 180-year-old man, their irises meeting each other, their love was still tempestuous, yet there was a thick wall that was hard to penetrate. Lastri immediately lowered his head, he realized who he was. Arman and himself are like the earth and the sky.

"Where do you live?" arman asked four months ago, since the woman in front of him canceled his wedding. Arman searched everywhere not to find, even the phone number Lastri could never be contacted.

Lastri did not answer, he had no intention to tell his address, the words of Sulis mother who was none other than Arman's mother who insulted him were still wet in memory.

"I go first, sir" he said then Lastri left Arman.

Arman stared at the steps of the girl he loved until invisible. Arman's heart is no less sick, why is it so difficult to marry his chosen girl just because of the selfishness of his mother? his love with a little girl since Junior High who is none other than his own student, broke up.

Arman breathed heavily and then came out.

"Tri, are you here? pantesan... I was looking for that I did not meet" said Rudy surprisingly Pastri daydream he was sitting alone in the campus park.

"Nindy where?" Lastri asked back.

"I don't know, he didn't see her" Rudy opened his palms. "Help him yuk, I'm hungry for a bag of cantines" continued Rudy.

"Come"

They searched here and there until entering the second hour had not yet met.

"We're trying to go back" Lastri pulled Rudy's hand.

"When you go there, Tri, where maybe Nindy is" Rudy said as he walked after Lastri's faster pace to beat Rudy's men.

"The name is also looking, Rud, yes anywhere, the important thing is, still around the campus," said Lastri was right.

They arrived behind the campus. Lastri was surprised because Nindy was there being appointed by a jutek gang, I don't know what they were talking about.

"God! fat, do the work of Mr. Arman, otherwise you will know the consequences!" Bella threatens Nindy.

Nindy was silent neither rejecting nor asserting.

"Revelation! if your friends reach the village until they find out!" Bella threatened again.

"What task should I do" Nindy finally relented.

"Wait" Lastri who has been hiding since listening to the threat of Bella, he approached while holding his chest, followed by Rudy.

"We are both here seeking knowledge, and must not be mutually ordered, including you Bella," said Lastri did not want anyone to oppress each other.

"What loe! poor?! always meddling?!" cynical Bella.

"I will always interfere, if there are pretentious people, in power." said Lastri.

"Come Nin" Lastri took Nindy away.

Bella clenches her hands "Bad tuh kampung girl! I have to make a calculation!" said furious. The jutek gang then left as well.

"Time to stay a little longer, what do we eat fast?" ask Rudy.

"Entar is also still resting Rud times?" they laugh too.

In the chair not far from the place Adnan was smiling himself watching Lastri, who was laughing. That girl has never changed before. Adnan recalls Lastri fighting a robber who was snatching a mother. Lastri could beat both snatchers easily.

"My feet hurt..." Bella sat next to Adnan showing her bruised legs.

Adnan did not pay attention. "Why loe's foot?" Bobby asked.

"In the stampede of the village girl," Bella pointed out Lastri was lying, but she slipped when she wanted to climb a mound of land behind the campus.

"I mean, Lastri?" ask Bobby.

"Yang... don't just shut up dong.. law him, if necessary, get out of this campus," whine Bella pretended to sad tugging at her fiance's arm.

"Don't like to slander people" Adnan said then left Bella. Bobby stood up and chased Adnan.

"Aahaha. yang.. yaaang..." Bobby teased Adnan repeating Bella's affection earlier.

"Don't get sucked! darn it! gw," said Adnan then entered the class.

*******

Three days later, as usual, Lastri returned from campus to finish the stitches owned by Yani's mother, the owner of the contract.

"Assynogaic"

"Girishal"

"Oh Nak Lastri, tumben had come here, usually busy continue..." Bu Yani was surprised to have a house contract here for three months This pastri has just come.

"You delivered the stitches" she replied, then handed her a plastic bag.

"Waah... has been so.." bu Yani happy then open the game and then try the shirt.

"It's really good Tri.. later I promoted to my fellow students deh" bu Yani circled around seeing his body did not stop smiling.

"Thank you, ma'am, if I'm going home"

"Wait for Tri, how much service is this?" tanya Bu Yani stopped Lastri's steps.

"Usually 60 thousand, but it's up to you to pay how much" said Lastri.

"Yes wait a minute" Bu Yani went in and gave it to Lastri. "This is more take it," Bu Yani handed over the 100 thousand money.

"It's a lot of ma'am" Lastri looked at mother's astonishment.

"It's okay" replied Ms. Yani.

"Thank you mom. I'm home"

Lastri then went home happy, he collected money little by little left over to eat and pay the rent. Even though college gets a scholarship but still requires a fee to buy books, transportation, and others.

Lastri took the piggy bank he kept in the closet and put the money in.

Lastri returned to the sewing machine, continued to sew the veil, and made the hat. This veil and hat he will offer to the campus who knows there is an interest in buying.

******

In the morning on the private campus, Lastri entered the yard with a relaxed without shame carrying a plastic bag.

"What did you bring?" nindy asked as they passed by.

"Hats with veils, who knows if anyone is interested," Pastri replied, letting his pouch open Nindy.

"You're selling?" tanya Nindy then spread out the veil.

"Yes Nin, quite enough to make more income," he replied then drank water in a bottle that he brought from home, walking 1km earlier not to mention ride the transportation to make his throat feel dry.

"Well... good Tri, I bought four, for my sister and brother, but pay one first yes, two tomorrow, okay?" ask Nindy because she doesn't have much money.

"Obviously you can," Lastri looked pleased.

"I picked a different color" Nindy took three at a time, after finding a suitable one, then hung up in the arm. But as quickly as lightning the woman wearing the torn-up jeans pulled the veil over Nindy's arm.

"God! you think this is a market?! selling here, make the campus embarrassed, this campus belongs to fiance I know not loe?!" Bella sneers arrogantly.

"Return!" Lastri approached Bella who was going to put the veil in the gutter. But not until the hands fell to catch the veil.

"Take care loe Bella, if not?! I'm gonna get you out!" Adnan looked at him sharply.
