THE HIDDEN MENTARY

HEADING TO THE TOP

"Don't be late, Mr. Fabian is always on time and he doesn't like late kids." Aldrich reminded me of a phone call he made this morning.

"Yes Disma's handsome sister! This has been to a hundred times Al said since yesterday afternoon. From the end of the announcement until now, it continues to be discussed." Cerocos.

Aldrich laughed at the end of the phone. His voice was loud and he sounded very cheerful this morning. I don't know what makes him so happy.

"Don't change the name of my contact on your phone. That's a sacred name. You say 3 times for sure I won't come!" His heart ended with an increasingly broken laughter.

"Yeee basic artist major! I'm curious, what role does Kak Al want to play today?" My insinuation.

"Today I became an exemplary student of dong, kayak usually." Aldrich's voice sounded arrogant.

"Auk. Yes, Kay left first, brother. Is he on campus?" My toot.

"Udah from earlier. It's the same breakfast as the kids." Aldrich replied casually. I sharpened my hearing and it was true that behind him there were some voices of men talking.

"Yes, Brother. Kay left yes. I'll see you again." Pamitku soon.

"Kay.. Don't you want Al to pick you up?" Aldrich offered me a ride.

"No need, sister. From last night Kay said, Kay wants to go alone. Kay wants to stop by first. I'm leaving yeah. See you at the college." Refuse smooth. Soon I say goodbye to my parents and leave.

Aldrich has offered to pick me up since yesterday. However, my daily routine of just over a month I live, is powerless to leave.

Again, my logic was defeated by my feelings. When I wanted to end all this, but here I come back. I stopped my car and stared at the house and car I knew well from behind my wheel.

"Ah has left apparently. Tumben today was very early in the morning," I looked at my watch, "astaga, I'm the bad luck!" Excruciate.

This morning I did not observe the house very long. I'll drive my car to the road soon.

I quickly drove my car. Aldrich's words continue to haunt me. Don't be late. Mr. Fabian doesn't like people who are late. The word kept spinning in my brain until my right foot deepened the gas pedal.

Braaakk..

"Bright.." I screamed out loud when I realized I hit the car in front of me.

My hands were suddenly cold, sweat soaked my forehead and my body trembled violently. I was really surprised. I took a quick glance, my God, Kay, it's your fault, the lights are still even red and you just keep pressing the gas. Hopefully not bad and no casualties.

I pulled my car over, followed the front car I hit. I saw a middle-aged man coming out of the car. I hope I can get some lightening.

"Sorry Sir. Really sorry. I was not intentionally. I really did not intentionally. I was in a hurry to get to college. I saw the wrong clock, sir, so I didn't realize it was noon." I said softly and a face that was completely frightened. I resigned when I had to get this man's anger.

My lyrics at a glance, the back of the car is a bit dented but not severe. And I saw my car, my God!! Why have this Father only dents and abrasions a little while mine until this bad? Instantly I was horrified to imagine Papa's reaction.

"Sir, sorry, if allowed I will bear the cost of damage to your car. I promise I'll take it all." Imbuhku then when not hearing a word from the owner of the car that I hit.

I'm really freaked out. Suddenly my phone rang. I saw the screen, oh my God, I must be late. Given that my personal alarm has been on the phone, I can make sure I'm in a crucial moment.

"Are you in a hurry, son?" The middle-aged man whose car I hit earlier made a sound.

I raised my head to look at the Father. And I hesitated.

"Are you a new student?" Ask the man to me.

"True sir."

"Is this still ospek?"

"It's over, Mr. Ospeknya. Today's first meeting with an academic supervisor."

"And you're so nervous you didn't want to drive and hit me?"

"Sorry, Sir. I was completely unintentional. I saw the wrong time and when I realized it was noon. And reportedly my lecturer killer sir."

I honestly said everything. I don't know why my mouth is so limp it reveals the truth. Or I'm an honest kid. Hahaha I was heartbroken when I judged myself.

"Hahahah lecturer killer yes. What's lecturer killer like?" The man asked in a witty tone.

If I had a lot of time, I'm sure, I'd gladly serve him a chat. But now I'm in injury time!

My phone rings again. My lyrics stay from the same number. I sighed in annoyance. I know I'm late, don't make me even more confused. I'm still stuck here.

"Let's say son, who knows what's important." The old man interrupted my thoughts. I looked at him, reassuring my hearing. And he nodded in agreement to my unexpressed question.

Immediately I slide the green button on my phone screen.

"Sir Al." I immediately shouted to him. I don't know why I really wanted to complain to him.

"What's wrong? Where are you now? Why haven't you come?" Aldrich.

"Sister Al. I'm accident. Huaya." Cry broke. The feeling that I was feeling from earlier I let out out loud. My fear and nervousness came out as shouts and cries.

Aldrich's voice sounded cold as he asked me and it was obviously a command he did not want to refute.

"Where are you, share loc now!"

I immediately turned off my call and immediately sent my current location.

"It seems, you are more surprised by this incident. Calm down, son, you have nothing to fear." The middle-aged man calmed me down.

I don't know what I look like right now. Either because of an accident or because I didn't get the moodbooster right this morning, which is obviously a mess of my feelings!

"Don't drive the car first. Looks like your friend called. Is he going to pick you up here? Wait for her. I'll accompany you. Sit there." The middle-aged man pointed at a barrier on the sidewalk. I followed him and sat myself there.

Today was a mess. Various thoughts raged in my brain. The fear of being late in a meeting with a famous academic lecturer killer, coupled with my failure to see for a while my moodbooster until this accident occurred. It really wasn't the opening day I wanted.

Not long after, Aldrich's car was seen parked in the back of my car. In a hurry he approached me.

"Where is the wound? What are you feeling? Show me which one hurts!" Aldrich's voice sounded more chaotic than I expected. She was extremely nervous and looked frightened. I looked at him without being able to make a sound.

"Ah yes. The guy who was involved with him, huh? Please forgive sir. Is anyone else hurt?" Aldrich immediately asked politely.

"Calm down. We're okay, nobody's hurt. But it seems your lover was a little surprised. Just calm him down." Said the old man.

I blinked my eyes. Confused by the old man's words. A lover? Wh who? Me and Aldrich? Huh, since when? I wanted to argue, but I broke it. Let alone to argue, to answer questions only my mouth is still mute.

"Father stay first. I just stopped by to see my son's house for a while. And accidentally met him." The old man said goodbye to Aldrich and pointed at me.

"Good Sir. Be careful on the road. Oh before, please forgive me. What was the chronology, sir?" Aldrich tried to hold back the old man's steps.

I just kept quiet and became a listener. My body is really limp.

"Ah your lover is just in a hurry and does not see a red light. So our car just touched a little." Said the old man while pointing at my car and his own car.

Aldrich turned his gaze and widened his eyes. Ah I know what he's got? The old man's words were very unreasonable indeed. How can this be said to be just a little touch, if the damage is so severe?

"Sir, I'm sorry. But, let me compensate you for your car damage." Aldrich said politely.

The old man just smiled looking at Aldrich.

"I'm quite satisfied to see you two. And I also see a sense of responsibility in you. That's enough in exchange. Take care of your lover, she's a good girl. And you're a pretty girl, take care of your lover too. Men seem to be very rare." Said the old man while patting Aldrich on the shoulder and immediately got into his car.

"Thank you sir." Aldrich shouted and waved his hand at the old man's car that had gone.

As for me, it still flinch. Don't know what to react to.

"Come in. Let your car stay here first. We'll take care of it or we'll just call a crane." Aldrich said as he led me into the car.

Our journey was silent. No one wants to break the silence. Until we arrived at the campus parking lot.

"Sir Al, makasi. L'm.. I'm.." I was finally able to open my mouth, although it still sounded nervous and trembling.

"It has. Be calm. There I am, you're safe now." Aldrich said to calm me down.

I can only nod.

"Kay, why were you in that area? What's up there? Hmm in the form of biodata, your house is not in that direction. I'm sorry I saw your personal data in the department." Lirih Aldrich asked me.

I looked up at him. Not expecting the question asked. Even Aldrich realized that my direction was starting to deviate. Even though he was unaware of the truth.

"I need to go to my friend's house." Again, the reason I was telling you was a lie.

Aldrich did not ask further. He opened the car door for me. I complied and got out of the car immediately.

"Come on. We're very late for a meeting with Mr. Fabian."

Suddenly my heart was racing.

"Sister Al, I'm scared. What if I was dropped from her guidance list on the first day of this meeting?"

"Don't be silly. That's not possible. And again, I've asked permission from him."

I looked at this man in front of me with sparkling eyes. My smile finally came out.

"A very reliable DISMA brother. Thank you handsome brother!" I'm teasing Aldrich.

"Hah, you smell of uniforms! You just realized I'm handsome and reliable, huh? Let's hurry up and get in." Aldrich said half-dragging me.

Some eyes were looking at us. But I don't have time to serve them.

Aldrich and I immediately climbed the stairs to the 4th floor. Meeting place with our supervisor. My breath was cut off, for climbing the stairs while running.

"Kay wants to faint, Al." I said gasping while walking up to the 4th floor. Hah..

"Don't pass out here, take the weight under it again." Aldrich Sahut.

"Come on." He said as he pulled my hand. I just kept watching his hand hold mine. I'm really out of energy.

I kept following Aldrich's footsteps. Suddenly, we were in front of a classroom that read R. 4.1. There was a male voice coming from inside the room. Oh apparently Mr. Fabian has arrived.

My heart's getting harder. My fear that had not ended was added to my fear of facing my guidance lecturer who reportedly was very scary.

"Sister, I'm scared." I said while strengthening my hand.

Aldrich smiled looking at my hands that did not want to be out of his hands.

"There I am, just calm down." Like a promise, Aldrich said it out loud.

He then stood in front of me and paved the way for us. The door of the room was knocked and heard coming from inside.

"Lake in." Mr. Fabian's voice welcomed us.

I hid behind Aldrich's body and lowered my head deeply. What a coward, Kay! I swear to myself. My hand that Aldrich held was hidden behind his back.

"Sorry sir we're late. He's in an accident." Aldrich said as we walked closer to Mr. Fabian.

"alright. No problem, please sit." Answer Mr. Fabian kindly. Hah, he really isn't angry!

But when I heard him make a sound, I suddenly flinched. It's a voice I know very well. A baritone voice, which even if I close my eyes, I can recognize who the owner is.

I sharpened my ears as Aldrich started dragging me to sit on the bench. I slowly raised my head and confirmed my hearing.

Oh God!! Is there such a perfect coincidence? Or maybe it's all fate?

I stared warmly at the eyes that were looking at me.
