The Black Riding Prince

15. College Boy

RANDU stared at Ami's departure from the school parking lot. He's going home with Toto.

"Why don't you be frank with her?" Toto asked while looking at Randu.

Randu smiled smirk. "Gue's not her type."

"Kalo lo isn't her type, why did she shoot you first?"

Randu was silent. She recalls how many times Ami expressed her liking, and that much she rejected Ami knowing that she wanted a rich guy. From starting the statement seriously when the first time to the joke-like in the next statement.

"Gue didn't get to him because I know you really like him. I don't want to fight girls with my own friends. I want you to go to her house now." Toto was wise.

"Ga needs to."

"Don't take you off later, Ran."

Randu just shook his head. "Gue wants to go back to Bandung the day after tomorrow. I want to go to college and work there."

"Gue sure, Ami can be invited LDR-an."

"Udah let's go home." Take Randu.

"Lo really don't want to see her?"

"Our soul mate, we'll meet."

"Yeah still holds the old philosophy."

Randu pushes Toto's body towards Toto's motor. With forced Toto also run his motorbike with Randu piggybacked. Toto escorts Randu.

"Straight then?" Tanya Toto was still trying to persuade Randu not to regret.

Toto already knows where Randu's house, his uncle's house is. During school in Jakarta Randu stayed with his uncle. The food stall where Randu worked also belonged to his uncle.

"Turn left."

"really? Don't leave it in the room."

Stretcher silence. He doesn't know what he's feeling and he wants. Until he did not realize that Toto had stopped his motorbike in front of his uncle's house.

"That's a dream. We are the back daughter." Toto was about to run his motorbike back to Ami's house but Randu immediately prevented it.

"Gue get off." Run directly down from the Toto motorbike.

"Come, Bro. Ami's mummy is still sticky."

Randu took off his helmet and gave it to Toto. "Thank you for my antherin."

"Yes, if you keep changing. I'm leaving." After saying that Toto was gone.

In the room, Randu could not sleep until early morning. I don't know. Ami's shadow that always teases him, expresses his feelings, and his speech and behavior that is not there is always reflected in his eyes.

Want to actually follow Toto's advice, but if he remembers Ami's words to his two best friends about the guy of his dreams then Randu again undo his intentions. Trying to move on to destiny.

TRIO KIYUT who were gathered at Cici's house pranced around in excitement when they saw the announcement of the new student reception on their mobile phones.

The three of them enrolled in the same campus, the same faculty, just different fields. Ami chose the banking economy, Leni in the management economy, and Cici in the business economy.

"Gue didn't think I'd be accepted!" Cici cried in disbelief.

"Otherwise me. The list of thousands of scholarship lines, which only received 100 people. And I became the 78th accepted on the scholarship! Huwaaa!!" Ami cried out full of happiness.

"Lo's got a pretty watered-down brain, Mi. From the beginning I was sure you would be welcome." Cici Remark.

"Anyways, we should celebrate our graduation taking the test. Yeah even if it's just eating meatballs or something." Sahut Leni's.

"Yupps!" Seru Ami and Cici compact.

"Now it's almost twelve si-"

"What's!? Do you want twelve!?" Pekik Ami's. "Gue's late! I'm late! Where hasn't been pesen ojol anymore!"

"Lo why the hell, Mi?" Ask Cici.

"Gue should keep the counter at half-hour one! It's twelve o'clock!" Ami immediately tidied up her belongings and put them in a sling bag that always accompanied her when she left the house not for school.

"It's usually a holiday today, Mi." Leni.

"Yes, but Mba Seli today there is a need so ask for a tukeran tomorrow I'm off."

"But you haven't had lunch yet, Mi." That's Cici. Even if you think like slow, but he cares and cares about his best friend.

"Say you will eat. Make me wrap it up just keep anther to the counter."

Ami looked in front of Cici's house when she heard the sound of a motor horn. "That's coming! Don't forget, anterin to the counter ge pe el! I was originally a laper. Daahh... Mmuahhh!" Pamit Ami leaves a distant kiss for her two best friends. But before leaving, he took the time to take a fried banana that had been served by ART Cici.

GO HOME when the clock is showing at 9 p.m. After work, I feel tired. After graduating from college, Ami decided to find a job that can be done after she went to college. He did not want to be a burden to his parents, at least not asking for pocket money.

Ami tried his luck choosing the scholarship path, scrambling with thousands of other applicants. Luckily Ami was blessed with a fairly intelligent brain so that he could be included in the ranks of 100 people who will receive a scholarship from the famous public university.

Ami came home happy, impatient to tell Mom and Babeh.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.." Ami entered the house.

"Wa'alaikumsalam.." Reply to Mother and Babeh who are watching television.

"Emery! Babee! Aye accepted, Mom!" Ami hugged Mom and Babeh alternately.

"Accept what'an you? What a clear dong! Accepted by kinclong?" Ask Mom.

"Yee Mommy, still calling aje the kinclong. He's back in Bandung, Mak." Answer Ami.

"Well you're so happy what's welcome?" Ask Mom curious.

"Aye got accepted to a state college, Mommy! Beh!"

"Alhamdulilla..." Gratitude Mom and Babeh compact.

"This is Babeh's son!" Babeh.

"Byeah! Yesterday aye wasn't Babeh's son?" Ami Protest.

"Yes Babeh's most beautiful son, you, Mi." Babeh pinches Ami's chin.

"Babeh's son is only 2, one girl is one guy!" Reply Ami.

"That's why you are Babeh's most beautiful child. If your brother is handsome, rich Babeh when young."

"Preegett..." Sela Mom.

"So I'm not handsome, you also won't want me, Yam." Babeh.

"Don't, aye, I'm gonna give it up.."

"Udah ah, aye want a wifeahat. Tired." Ami passed to her room.

AMI re-registered to college. He stood in front of the administration desk with the other students. Suddenly...

Bruk!

"Aw!" Peek Ami as his back pushed up to hit the prospective student in front of him.

"Eh, sori. Lo anyway, push-push." Said a male student. "Are you okay?"

"No. But next time, don't be in a place like this. Not only am I affected, but the one in front of me is also affected." Answer Ami ketus.

"Vidiii... New student candidate, beautiful kok judes. Lost her beautiful look." Said the male student.

"You want to go bad, you're wrong target. I can't be combed!" Reply Ami.

The male student and his friend gawked at Ami's bravery.

**Up again... Pursue my deadline. You can and should be sure you can!
