SURVIVING BECAUSE OF STATUS

CHAPTER 9. THAT PAST...

The atmosphere of the library this morning is very crowded, still at 7 am most of the students in this library one major with me, maybe looking for references to the paper assignments later because there is a presentation.

“Amir kok has not come” it sounds olivia, I call her olip finisher, towering height, slim her close to thin skin clean yellow, actually she is beautiful but dear tomboy.

“g know too, try calling. Bang Fatih came to the conversation just came back to go again” answered me, we were three now live with me alone with the olip.

“Say he bought a drink ”ansa, took one of the books on the table and read it.

Our one group of four this familiarity happened from the third semester, now it was the fourth semester, we were originally the three new members arrival. Be now every group or outside of college hours we often hang out sometimes at my post, in the costan bang fatih.kalau olip own house but an hour drive to campus. Amir is also the same he did not spend just his house further.

“Mana, he said buy drinks?”olip raised his hand, Bang Fatih sat next to me. “not look at the writing everywhere. It is forbidden to bring food and drinks into the library”. Bang Fatih showed her hands like she was reading on a blackboard. Manyun olip, funny. “later to buy lip”, I replied comforting.

“Assalamualaikum.. late yes, sorry”. The three of us turned, the emir came to bring a beautiful girl, I had never seen before, like an almost perfect artist. Olip stood up to welcome him ignorant once just look. This is the first time he's brought women to join us.

“ciee amir secretly in the corner his year bring a girl, know dong” takann right. The three of us stood up.

“Andara” greets us alternately introduce ourselves

“hai Andara..have known amir for a long time?” that's olip believe me, he won't stop if not reprimanded, really ignorant of this child.

“new 3 months, yes han..”facial-embarrassed blush on his face adds to the beauty of an Andara. Beautiful, white, high hair straight black long strung, it seems that he really likes care. Her face was clean of the fragrance of tecium from her body, the distinctive smell of expensive perfume. My question is only one way to get amir this woman, it is impossible that this model in the campus no one is eyeing. Amir isn't bad actually. He is sweet, his body is tall, his hair thick eyebrows thick and neat his eyes sharp with the flattened feathers of his dimples add sweetness to him when smiling. Her skin is black and she has charisma. A lot of girls on campus have a crush.But I'm not interested hahaha...

“Be careful look amir, secretly bring a girl, beautiful again, brother, new way same girl directly disperse jalan” refer Bang Fatih. He was also handsome his skin was white his hands were muscular, his hair was thick. We called my brother because his age was above me only his college entered the same year as me happened to be we came from the same village playmates used to.

“abang already there is a suitable Just still waiting to pass” he replied casually.

“reason.”olip sneering. I glanced at the amir so potent andara, his hand did not come off holding the arm of the amir. Amir whispered and his girlfriend nodded.

“Amir already... if we have not waited until ready” is olip, emang really destroy the atmosphere of this child.

“Andara borrow amir for a moment yes, you want to work the group first we will return it whole trust deh, okay!” he lifted a thumb to Andara.

A few moments after the preceded by the whining drama of an Andara, the start of this group, is actually finished. It's just that the preparation of materials and the preparation of questions from lecturers and other groups.

We attended the Faculty of Economics majoring in finance, a public campus in this small town. Going to the provincial capital alone still has to travel 1 hour. But it's okay this campus is suitable for those of us who have a desire but earn below average. I choose here to adjust the ability of the father and mother who are only clothing traders in the market.

“Alhamdulillah.clear our presentation earlier, if Syafira and Bang Fatih answer the question no one wants to refute again.Keren deh kita” group. Olip section notes questions. The three of us answered questions. Amir is also smart only he if he answers to the point can not describe.

“don't exaggerate lip, we cooperate no superior” I replied casually.

“eat dikantin yuk, celebrate success, I'm the tract” Bang Fatih offer themselves.

“Sorry friends I have to nyamperin Andara pity earlier she was left pertipust alone”. He's saying goodbye

“cieee,, the bucin. Be careful of heartbreak, pain. Never been?” Olip again.not finished this child's carelessness. Amir hastened his pace. The three of us walked to the canteen. That's how we never interfere in each other's affairs.

“Fira come with me briefly”. The three of us turned around in shock by Amir's sudden voice. His breathing is like running out of a marathon. His face was panicked with sweat drenching his forehead. We stood in panic. This shocking incident was a three-week gap from the group's work.

We arrived at a magnificent two-story house. Do not imagine a house whose yard is spacious like a disinetron, no. This house is the best size is the largest among the surrounding houses. House with white shades in European style. Standing in front of the fence still doesn't understand. Suddenly Amir shouted to call andara, his voice was quite tight maybe until the neighbors heard around him.

He called again and again until the door of the house opened. A woman of about 40 years came out with a very beautiful appearance, white skin, her face resembled Andara. With her height and clothes are very fashionable typical of socialite mothers do not forget her makeup adds to her beauty. I'm sure this woman is your mother. Looks physical resemblance, the face and stature are very similar.

“What else did you come here.” With his hands clenched against his haughty face. Look how he doesn't like her the same Amir.

“I'm sorry aunt let me meet Andara I love her so much I promise will make her happy.” Amir's face is very clear I am the same friends do not have the heart to see it. We looked at each other, couldn't do anything because we didn't understand the situation.

“With what you make my son happy, do you think your job as a cafe waitress can make my son happy. Know yourself dong, who are you who Andara”. With her sharp gaze the woman tore apart Amir's self-esteem. Suddenly a sense of compassion seeped in me, I approached him stroking his shoulders trying to strengthen. What else can be done.

“ let me meet Andara aunt I want to hear directly if you do not love me, I promise after that will not agitate him again.”amir voice weakened. “confidence once you. Well I allow, but I hope after this stay away from the life of Andara”.I saw the woman come in, and soon came out with Andara. It's worth noting we're still standing in front of the fence. Not welcome to enter.

“What the hell is ma, andara has said she does not want to meet”. Dragging his son's hand a little rough looks once emotion emanated on the face of the mother. Standing in front of Amir with a look no less haughty than the mother.

“mau moreover, I've told you we broke up I don't want to relate to you anymore, I don't want to live hard. Still don't understand. Supposedly if you know yourself before coming here glass first already deserved what not.” Oh Allah.how did Amir get a woman to have such a sharp tongue. I who heard it was not strong. I see Amir, he's bowed in so painful indeed.

“how can you change so quickly, have I ever hurt your feelings?” The words of Amir weakened maybe he did not believe the woman in front of him now is Andara who yesterday was proud in front of his friends.

“hurt no yes, but more to feel not worth it. Let's just say I was dating you yesterday. Your salary for a month is not enough to buy my powder. Keep other needs, you think will be full eat love ” cynical smile Youara really make anyone will hate to see it, the three of us are only able to strengthen. Joining the intervention is impossible, against them it feels free.

A black sedan stopped behind us. A man came out with his sunglasses. Brave, the first impression we caught. His height is strong.

“What is this. There are so many guests apparently, why not be told to enter ma?”. Friendly, his voice was also pleasant to hear. Looks like this guy is nice and then stepped closer to andara

“Dear enter yuk, usually my college friends want to see me before moving. Biasa good friend.”oh, here I began to understand it turns out this man is his girlfriend andara. Very clever he was theatrical. Continues for 3 months dating Amir, calling each other hani, their favorite call is the play as well. Stupidly Amir just believed it.

“already in there, Youara bring nak riko in, let your friends mama who met”. Clop, compact. Same daughter mom equally famous actress good at theatrical. A sweet smile is directed at a man named Riko. Riko looks established looks more mature than andara.

“You saw the man earlier, already handsome well established again. He is more deserving of being with Andara while you. If you know enough yourself please leave before I force you to leave here.”.His hands point into the pride of prospective husband Andara, either fiancee or boyfriend I do not understand. All I know is that the man has earned his own place in the hearts of his mother and brother. Her father andara don't ask I don't know from earlier did not show up.

Limp was Amir's face, he was downcast lethargic, there was a disappointment clearly drawn there, maybe also a sudden pain. He looked into the house, his gaze sad as if he was holding back the tears that wanted to come out. The tightly closed fence seemed to illustrate that there was no more opportunity for this man beside me. Love is that painful. I was afraid to fall in love.

Sitting under a shady tree, a long chair. Amir still lowered his face as if a heavy burden made him reluctant to lift that face. From here flows the story after a few hours of silence, that you who seek the attention of Amir, until the end of this sweet black man really fell in love with the charm of an Andara.

All your wishes he participated, even his salary as a cafe waitress was exhausted to buy all his wishes. You can not eat in an ordinary place, ask for a restaurant or a classy cafe. Go for a walk every week, and buy all the things he wants. Can be imagined his salary as a cafe will not be enough to meet the needs of his lover. As for those of us who are only boarding children who eat a nominal potluck that is mentioned amir is more than enough to live one month.

Amir's mother was a junior high school principal, her father died before retirement in a government agency. She has a younger sister who is still sitting in Junior High School. His mother did not know that he worked part time as a cafe waitress, because all the needs of Amir were met by his mother. Even the monthly rations from his mother sometimes run out to fulfill Andara's wishes.

The beautiful woman today is about to move out of town, following a man named Riko. The plan is that you and the man will get married soon. Will not continue his studies.

Miris once heard the story, so powerful love is able to paralyze human common sense. Sacrifices that sometimes do not enter are only returned with scorn and insults. Even now all he got was sick and disappointed. He who sat with Fatih's brother and Olip stood up could do nothing. Even encouraging it will not work for now.

“To now study hard, make your mama and your late father proud. Girls like you don't deserve guys like you. One day there will be a woman who will accept you as you are. Don't forget to work hard, make your ex regret ever dumping you”. That's Bang Fatih's message, patting Amir on the shoulder.

Loving is not just a matter of the heart, there is a common sense that must contribute to its control so that love can return to its pure nature without hurting each other.
