The House in the Middle of Sawah

The House in the Middle of Sawah
A quarrel



On Tuesday, at ten o'clock I sat in the classroom, waiting for the lecturer to come. I crammed the headset into my ear playing a song on an mp3 player.


When my race is your race


can you endure the pain


betrayed the love you've been guarding


A song that feels right in my mood right now. I closed my eyes enjoying the song, the next second a pair of hands shook my shoulders. I opened my eyes, there was Febi next to me, holding my shoulder and shaking it slowly. I took off the headset that clogged my ears.


"What the hell?", I don't feel comfortable. I saw some of my friends in class looking at me.


"You from yesterday why not bales SMSku", Febi looks sullen asking for an explanation.


"No pulse", I answered briefly, chuckle.


"My phone why don't you pick up?", Febi continued her interrogation.


"What the hell is Fee, if anything important just say it now. Don't overdo it", I raised my voice this time. Febi took her hand off my shoulder. Staring at me with astonished eyes. Maybe he was surprised by my attitude this time.


"You why? I was wrong with you?", Febi asked not understanding the current situation.


"God, it's time for college. Sit sono in your chair. Lecturer came back", I put the headset back in my ear. Febi walked out of my seat, seen walking out of class.


A loud pat hit my back. I looked around, Irul was the culprit.


"What the hell? Semprul!", I snapped in shock.


"The couple again fought the story", Irul sneered, raising one of his eyebrows.


"Your bald princess!", I was irritated by Irul's plunge this time.


"Well, really angry, what's the matter? Story in dongg?", Irul this time whining like a kind of kindergarten boy asking for candy.


"Pengeenn taauuuu was all this one" I shook my head.


"Lha konco oraaa?", Irul sewn both of my shoulders, seducing.


"Hoorraaaaaaa" I answered long.


Irul shook my head, I males served.


Some girls are seen whispering, bodo very, maybe they are gossiping about me. I crammed the headset back into my ear, I leaned my body against the chair and I closed my eyes, again trying to enjoy the sound of soft music in my mp3 player. And again, a pat on the shoulder ruined my pleasure.


"What else siihh, semprul singoo!", I shouted a little.

At 1 pm, in the heat of the sun I was in the parking lot of the campus remembering where to park the "Thor" this morning. I scratched my head because I forgot. Shit, because of the girls' business so my concentration is up. Sayup-sayup heard a song from the security guard post to the north of the parking lot.


The poison woman of the world


Because he blinded all


Vacuunn . .


Caliunn . . . Racuunnn


I smiled a little at hearing that. Suddenly from behind a pair of hands pulled my arm. I looked and it turned out to be Erni.


"Follow me, I want to say", Erni pulled me, dragged me away from this hot parking area, while I could only resign without a fight.


In the hallway under the stairs of campus 1, Erni stopped her steps and immediately looked at me, looking angry. I'm a little horrified.


"What are you doing Dan?", Erni slightly snapped at me.


"What's? I didn't do anything" I leaned my back against the wall.


"Febi was crying, and went straight home", Erni still looked at me with anger.


"Keep?", I'm a little annoyed that Erni's talking about Febi.


"What did you say to him, what did you say to him?", this time Erni raised her tone, her hands bent in front of her chest.


"What the hell Er, I know not to say anything, he asked why I did not bales SMS, did not pick up the phone, yes like me", this time I also raised my tone.


"Basic! You have no feelings, Dan! You have Febi's illness, you know?", Erni glared, I'm not afraid this time, because my mood is also being ruined today.


"Teruuss?? Howdoyouwant? Should I be like Febi? Keep double date is it the same you and Iwan? Crazy what!", I whined, trying to leave.


"Why bring Iwan? I shouldn't have told you yesterday that it would be like this. .", Erni holding my arm preventing me from leaving, her eyes looking teary.


"It's not your fault nor mine. Man only harvests what he plants. Febi lied to you, Febi asked you to stay away from me, had she not done that, I had planned to tell you how I felt at that time. Maybe now we are with Er. You should have understood my feelings, it was natural that I was angry with Febi", I sighed.


"You have no right to forbid me from being angry with him, it's about the heart, you already have Iwan, you can be just like him, while I? only able to see your back increasingly walking away from me", I let go of Erni's hand and passed.


I looked back, I saw Erni leaning against the wall where I was, bowed in lethargy.
