The Heart-Bitter

Andri and Citra

Today Andri has been on campus since the morning.study activities in the campus are quite solid able to eliminate the figure of Citra in his mind. Earlier this morning when he departed from home he was determined not to look for Citra. He hoped that Citra would be angry with him and would not want to see him again.

He deliberately did not take a lunch break in the cafeteria, nor did he appear on the basketball court. He just sat next to the class facing a park that is more worthy of being called a small forest on the edge of campus. Andri took a cigarette out of his pocket, his mind floating around. The strong exhale of cigarette smoke from his mouth hopes that everything he thinks is carried away by the smoke to fly into the free air. Suddenly the voice came to surprise him.

"There you are, apparently," It turns out that Citra has been standing next to him and just took an empty seat next to Andri.. Andri smiled clumsyly, all wrong, not knowing how to.

"I'm sorry, yesterday went unselfish with you, there's important business at home." Andri's voice sounded unconvincing.

"Why is it that every time we meet you always apologize anyway? I'm not the priest of your confession!" The image smiled widely, Andri increasingly misbehaved.

"You're a new student here, I can't believe! I ask my friends no one knows you, your face is not suitable to be a new student, not a fresh graduate high school because."

"So you've been looking for me all day?" Andri's heart suddenly flowered.

"Koq was asked even nanya again anyway? 'Image Face suddenly blushed red like a tomato that had just come out of the refrigerator.

"I'm a new student here, graduated High School I immediately work, after my savings are quite new I can study here. What semester are you in?"

"I'm in the eighth semester, working on a thesis. Why not join our basketball team? I saw your game yesterday cool, can increase the strength of our basketball team so that every year is not a loser just, "Picture laughs off, laughs make all the problems in your head destroyed.

"Okay, anyways I'm afraid I can't divide the time, college while working is already very troublesome, not to mention the tasks of college that accumulate."

"Well be prepared to make as many excuses, soon the head of our basketball team wants to persuade you to join them, and you will definitely find it difficult to refuse him."

"Loh, why? Who's she?"

"Because she's female and very beautiful! The body is also good!"

"I don't care if she's Britney Spears's twin."

"Haha.. You just can't refuse me when I watch the theater, your weakness as a man is very clear Ndri, and she's much prettier than I am." The image laughs again. This time the aura makes Andri more like floating.

"Ah, that's a different situation!" Andri hopes that the choking sound is not heard by Citra, choked because it has been stripped completely naked in the style of Citra ceplas-ceplos. His pride was dropped as if he was an easy-going man who easily fell in love. But Citra does it with an incredible style.

"Well, that's the guy coming, good luck." The image stands while pointing to a woman who is very beautiful, and crazy again Right image, the body is good, typical of female basketball players.

"You're my friend here, I'm afraid." Andri hopes Citra will accompany him to face the beautiful monsters that are now getting closer to them.

"Fear what? Afraid of not being able to?" The image laughed mockingly and then he turned to walk away from Andri.

Half an hour later Andri really struggled to reject the invitation of Shinta, the chairman of the college basketball team. If the meeting happened before he knew Citra, maybe he would not be able to refuse Shinta's invitation. The image shadow was already deeply embedded in his heart. His refusal seemed to want to prove that he wanted to show Citra that he was a man who was committed to his words. When Andri realized this, he felt strange himself, why did he do it for Citra? Is he in love with Citra? Andri could not lie to his own heart.

As soon as his hair bristled, his heart was racing as if he had just finished running. The scene of Julia saying goodbye and kissing her hand this morning flashed back in her mind, the spoiled screams her children were calling out to her when she came home flashed very clearly. His feelings for Citra are clearly dangerous, he wishes that his love claps one hand. Of course he is not worthy of Citra, women like Citra must get a man who is much better than himself. He is determined to ignore Citra and bury his desires deeply.

The busy afternoon lecture until the afternoon again managed to drive the shadow of Citra from his mind, but only temporarily, Citra was waiting for him in the parking lot of the motorbike.

"Shinta is still determined to persuade you to join, she is indeed unusual in rejecting men." Live image of nyerocos like firecrackers. He then walked beside Andri who wanted to take his bike. Andri remembered with his determination, he tried to ignore Citra, but determination remained determination.

"Of course, he's my best friend, we always share stories about anything."

"Then do me a favor, I don't have time for anything else, I have a lot of responsibilities at home."

"You're already married? "

"Family mean? Already married ? Andri felt the danger alarm. For a second it feels like Andri is telling the truth, but the lie wins.

"No! I'm still single." Andri hopes Citra does not manage to catch the lies that come out of her mouth.

"Ooh.." Only one word came out of Citra's mouth, but the hue of her happy face already made Andri feel a thief who was caught off guard. And the greater the guilt when the picture of Julia and her children crossed his mind again.

"Ok, see you tomorrow, yes" Citra waved her hand, turning around to walk back to Andri. Andri could only gape at the sight of every step of Citra.

He did not stop staring until Citra got into his private car. He immediately put on a helmet and turned on his motorbike to be invisible to Citra from the moment he looked at her.

Andri's mind glared back, "There is no man who is able to resist the charm of the Image" His mind tried to find a justification for his actions. The image is true, he is just a man who is like a cat that has been fed by his master every day, but still steal when the opportunity arises.

Could it be that Citra actually already knew that she was married?" It is impossible Citra knows from her friends because there are no friends Andri who used to know her here. There were no neighbors or relatives. Andri also never told anyone on campus about him. He didn't close himself off on campus, kept on getting along well with his friends. But Andri is quite good at making them not have to ask about his life. The only thing that is possible is if Citra knows from its data administration on campus.

Andri asked in his mind "Does Citra have enough association so that it can access student data on campus?" The question that made his head become heavy was as if his helmet was made of concrete.

CHAPTER IV

HAPPY IMAGERY

The night was very late, Citra was rolling on her bed while hugging a jumbo-sized panda doll, but her eyes could not be closed, Andri's figure was still reflected in her mind, "Abizarre once, the image of Andri was still hidden in her mind, there has never been a male figure in this world that makes me so this way" Image membatin. His sturdy stature, his handsome face and full of mystery actually makes Citra's heart like fried rice is being stirred. " Fuck ! Where I am tomorrow there is a morning lecture schedule, this hour is still hard to sleep ! " Picture throws his pandas at first, then he moves from his bed to pick up a cell phone, install earphones and start playing his favorite songs. Before long he returned to bed, took a supine position, his eyes closed but his mouth murmured following the strains of song that flowed in his ears, before the dawn adhan then he could fall asleep.

This morning lecture Citra lived while continuing to evaporate widely, he did not care his friends protest continued, his drowsiness was not satisfied, just earlier he left among his papa driver and slept throughout the trip. He did not dare to bring his own car because his sleep last night was very short. Just before lunch his life recovered and he tried to contact Andri, but many times he tried his phone still not lifted. "Where's the fucking guy? It's time for the afternoon break, there's no way there's still anyone in class! " Pictra asked with annoyance into his heart. Finally out of curiosity he walked towards Andri's faculty building, but he sighed in disappointment, Andri's class was empty and no one was there. He walked through the back garden, he saw the figure of Andri was sitting leaning on the bench of the park alone, he approached Andri, the closer he saw it turns Andri asleep.

Seeing andri asleep Citra did not have the heart to wake him, he took a sitting position next to Andri. " Fearless as he seemed, his sleep was so sound that he did not hear the sound of a cell phone. " Partra kept staring at Andri, his mind filled with questions, but he decided to sit waiting until Andri woke up. Almost half an hour passed andri finally woke up, when he turned he was shocked to see Citra was sitting next to him.

" Surprised to wake up there's an angel from heaven beside you? " Picture throws her sweet smile while flicking her shiny black hair. "Seeing the scene just now Andri was amazed to swallow his saliva.

"I thought I was kuntilanak, because I had a dream in hell. "

" "Damn it ! " Picture of a pout ,

" Hahahahahah" Andri laughed, "You're more beautiful if you pout that."

"really? Then from now on I put a sullen face in front of you ! "

"Haha.. Go ahead if you are not tired of having that big lip all day."

" Already ! What do you do to sleep up to that pules? " Partra asked, this time with a serious face mimic. Got such a question Andri was confused whether to answer honestly or lie.

" I work as a security in the Bekasi area," Andri said honestly, he was not sure what he expected from Citra when he heard the answer, some of his heart hoped that Citra looked down on him and then went away, some of them regretted being honest.

" Next night of work, no holiday? When I go on holiday, I watch a new movie at the cinema ! " Partra asked, smiling, Andri became excited, he saw the face of Citra fixed, but there was nothing strange there.

"No ! I'm in the shif tonight starting in the afternoon." Andri refused firmly.

" When are you on holiday? " The image again asked, this time his tone was filled with hope. Andri's feelings are getting more turbulent.

" I don't know, I've had a lot of business this week, too. " Turn back Andri replied, this time his voice trembled with no confidence. The direct image of the bamgkit stood up, his face clearly showing an expression like it had just lost a bet of tens of millions. He walked without looking, leaving andri who was still confused looking at him.

" How about tomorrow the day after tomorrow ?!" Andri shouted, it turned out that his conscience won. The image stopped walking, he turned to look at Andri with the look of eyes as if ready to split the stomach of Andri.who looked at him expectantly, a few seconds later Citra threw her smile like a rose that had just burst open, he connected his ears and mouth with his thumb and pinky, then he turned back and stepped again, this time his footsteps were lighter.

Andri threw his body onto the park bench while patting his eel, his brain was now like a super tangled thread.
