I kept crying regardless of the person who greeted me.
“Hay why cry?”
I quickly turned to the source of the voice and was surprised to see it was Andika who came.
“I'm not crying”. I answered her while wiping away the tears that never wanted to stop dripping.
“No cry how I from here saw you cry, still ngeles aja”
“So why are you crying?”. Mas Andika took a chair next to me and sat down beside me.
“I'm me”. I was sobbing with tears that kept coming down.
“Hey why what is it?”
“I got the lowest grade in the class, a quiz score that holds 25% of the total test score later”.
“Had it so cry, what kind of a small child?”
“English”. My answer is languid.
“After English doang easy it”
“Easy for you mas but not for me”
“Letter you can still improve in the upcoming quiz, you can also still pursue the value when you get a task, you can also still struggle in UTS or uas later”
“But I don't speak English, my knowledge of vocab is very low. The initial foundation alone is not strong and I also do not like English”
“If you do not like how to get good value?, try to love with all your heart, start to know him early make a solid foundation”
“But I don't like mas, I love Indonesian only” I replied while grinning. Mas Andika reflex hit my head with a book of course not hard just to touch with the book.
“Basically you are, from tomorrow I will be your private teacher English prepare everything, prepare the intention and brain ya”
“No mas no need”
“You want to not graduate and repeat in a short semester?”
“Of course not”
“Start tomorrow when I have free time you have to come to the place I have determined there is no rejection for your good”.
"Have not cried again quickly take ablution there pray first I want to go first there is a class".
Andika just left me.

The next day while Andika really kept her promise, early in the morning before I left for campus there was already a text in.
“Let me wait in the place yesterday at 11 o'clock yes, don't forget to bring your power point”
“Any pack of lecturers” reply me to him I immediately rushed to the campus for college as usual.
Today there are only two socioeconomic courses and an introduction to agro, the only one I love this semester. Thanks to the introductory lecture of Agro I was able to follow the pimnas.
The time showed at 10:40 all courses that day was finished, I quickly rushed to the library at the place as usual. I started to prepare some notes and also the tasks given by my private lecturer "mas Dika" hehe.
Not long ago Andika began to come as promised my heart is happy so there are still people willing to help me in every difficulty I experience.
“So how is it ready?”
“Ready pak”
“This you know doesn't mean what? tell me what?”
“I just shook my head, let alone know what it means I don't know”
“Seriously? Don't joke?”, Andika looks in disbelief.
“How used to pass SMA can be accepted here?”.
“Takdir” answered me briefly.
“Ya already gini let's make the foundation first solid before making wall tile and friends, let's make a solid foundation, you must deposit English vocabulary memorization at least ten to fifteen every day to me and it's mandatory law must be yes"
“But I don't like”
"Not like or lazy?"
"Dislike and lazy mas"
“Try Rahayu first try, but you can write in front of your closet, in front of the mirror at the entrance of the room, you write a few words in English trus you memorize”
“I if read english like a foreigner”
“Try what does this mean?” andika pointed to one sentence in the book that I brought.
Oh my God who am I? Whether I'm Dewi Sandra I really don't understand, I deserve to go back to Elementary School if I want to learn English. I just shook my head I don't know.
“What's gini? I love you what does it mean?” andika wrote one word in my book.
Suddenly I was surprised my face met red I refused to answer.
“Basic small children if gini aja tau”
"Yes, my SD kids know it too"
Mas Andika started teaching me really from the very bottom level teaching me how to read properly teaching fast memorization methods.
“The key is only one Yu you have to memorize a lot of vocabulary so that more and more, if the vocabulary has many others will follow you will understand the purpose of his”.
“Learning today is enough to arrive here tomorrow we continue again yes already afternoon you must also be tired”
“Not only tired because my brain has educated hehehe”
“Ya let's go home all I anterin”
Me and Andika hurry to the parking lot and go home.
In the evening I tried to apply some of the methods taught in Andika mas, instead of understanding and being able to memorize my brain vocabulary even as full of images of Andika mas face.
I could not forget his peaceful face. Hay the brain works as it should keep in mind the tutor continuously, let's try to remember what was learned earlier.
I tried to refocus, trying to memorize but still the shadow of Andika who was dancing in my brain. The smell of the perfume is still very clear it feels I am reluctant to wash my clothes that had been exposed to the perfume earlier. Come Rahayu focus, why is it so difficult if people fall in love.

A few days later, Andika taught me to study again, andika really became a helper god at that time. As usual, we studied at the library.
Before going to the bus Andika invites me to eat first, we chose to eat at kopma (student cooperative) which is near the dormitory son a little far away is indeed the place just want to try a different atmosphere all of you want to take the file of his friend mas Dika.
My first experience entered the kopma place is very spacious, taking his own food no one to take to the table. That day looked very crowded indeed coincided with the rest hour as well.
A little bit of change has changed for me, I began to understand little by little vocabulary. I always deposit more than 15 vocabulary words on Andika mas every day.
“So you're here who? I Nyari’in you from earlier”, heard the voice of a woman who is not familiar to me, she came to us with a sour face that looks very if not like me.
