Ardi Saputra's
The park of Jayabaya University...
“Duhh...how else is this? It's so weird, it's here, really, it's here too. What tried wrong?” One of the students was sitting and struggling with a confused calculus book that one envied.
“It should be changed first the unit!” Said a girl who was sweeping.
The student turned his head back to the sound, watching the girl closely.
“Eh, ma, sorry to. Sa, i..”.
“You said what?” Ask the student.
“Ah, ti, no. Ma, sorry!” Said the girl and then left.
“Wait, wait!” Student stopped the girl's steps, “Can't you tell me what's wrong?” The student sounded desperate, “Tomorrow I have this chapter Exam and I don't understand it at all, can't you help me?” Ask later.
“Eh?” The girl was confused, she felt pity as well hearing the words of the student.
The student looked at her expectantly, slowly approaching the table where the book was placed.
“Supposed to turn this unit into inches, and this is multiplied here, then this one, this is the starting point and should be the ending point 10. So the result is the same as the answer key.” Show the girl.
“Oh, so I'm wrong here! Oh my..**** so bad!” Say the student, “Oh yes, what level are you?” students Ask.
“Eh, a, yes. A, i..” The girl was confused as to what to answer, she just showed me the broom she was holding.
“You mean, you like to clean here?” The student asked in shock, and the girl simply nodded, “But you are too young to work like that. How old areyou? Looks like you are too young to be a student.” Say that student.
“Ye? That, i..” The girl looks confused.
“Vika!” I heard someone calling.
“Sorry, I have to go!” Said the girl then ran away leaving the curious student because there was no answer she expected.
“Vika, so her name is Vika!” The student said with a smile on his lips.

“Vika!” Say someone walking slowly behind a girl.
The girl called Vika turned her body, “Ka, sister?” He said surprised when he saw the person who called him was the student he had met this morning, “A, what is it?” Ask later.
“Just want to hear the answer to my question that you haven't answered!” Said the Student.
Hearing those words Vika looks confused, “I, it..” He looks doubtful.
“Calm down, I don't mean to be evil. My name is Ardi Herdiansyah, first-rate student of the Medical faculty.” The student named Ardi introduced himself, he then smiled, “I actually just want to ask for your help to teach me Calculus, can't you help me?” Ardi asked when he saw Vika hesitant to communicate with him.
“I won't ask you anything, if you want to help me!” Welcome, “Or can you be my tutoring teacher? Instead of you working in that store until this late, I'll pay like you paid in that store. Hows it? Can't you?” Asked Ardi, he looked very hopeful that Vika would help him.
“I..sorry, I can't help big brother. I'm just a Junior High kid who dropped out of school, how could I possibly help big brother!” Vika tried to politely refuse.
“Ye? SMP? You are still SMP?” Ardi was confused, and Vika just nodded, ‘Iya anyway Junior High is now growing faster than my generation used to be! But...’ battery, “But you can solve my problem this morning?” Ask later.
“Oh, that, if it is, I saw brother from yesterday working on that matter, so..so..” Vika is confused.
“Sorry sorry, I must have forced you too much, then forget my request earlier. Better you come home soon it's been very night, come I'll drive you, not good a girl home night alone.” Ardi felt bad for forcing Vika.
“No need for you, I can go home by myself. Anyway my place of residence is close to here.” Vika.
“No, let me drive you.” Ardi said then left followed by Vika behind him.
When we get to the campus park, “I will help my sister, brother bring his book, right?” Asked Vika, Ardi was a little surprised, but he was happy because Vika wanted to help him, then Vika also taught Ardi.
“That's all I can teach my sister,” Vika said when she finished teaching Ardi.
“Wah..your explanation is easy to understand, I have come to understand these matters.” Ardi looks happy.
“Thank God that brother understands.” Vika said, “Then I said I went to mes!” Reciprocity.
“Wait,” Ardi stop step Vika, “What tomorrow you can find me again?” Ask.
Vika is speechless at the loss of how to help Ardi, but he...
“Can you consider the request I said earlier?” Connect Ardi know that actually Vika wants to help him, “Two hours,” Pintanya.
“I'm sorry!” Vika was still confused so he decided to leave without answering Ardi's question.

“Crazy, how do you suddenly rise gini in?” A young man named Tony in disbelief saw Ardi's rank rise from rank 30 to rank 5.
“Hayo, elo nyontek yes?” Another young man named Pulung is suspicious.
“Enak aja nyontek. I'm business bro, effort!” Ardi said proudly.
“Wah, what effort do you? Nyepet?” Tony asked with a laugh followed by a Pulung laugh.
“Damn you guys,” Ardi said with a laugh, he knew that his two friends were just joking.
“So what business do you sell?” Tanya Pulung's.
“Ge request ajarin sama..” Said Ardi hanging his words, “There deh...” The connection made the two friends curious.
“Diajarin same who the hell?” Ask Tony.
“Of course the same someone who, TOP!” Replied Ardi samba giving his thumbs up.
“Wah seriously lo? Who?” Curious necklace.
“Ada deh, which surely I just met him yesterday, I keep asking him to teach, well.. initially he did not want to, but finally last night he wanted to also teach me. The explanation is easy to understand. Sampe does not believe it can rise to rank five.” Ardi said happily.
“Well, kidding me? New period taught yesterday you can already naek to rank 5 anyway?” Pulung does not believe.
“Yes if you don't believe me, I don't ask you to believe. I want to see my teacher first. Bye..” Ardi left the classroom.
Then...
Vika who was cleaning the quiet back garden was shocked to see Ardi approaching her and handed her a medium-sized box and ribbon on top.
“Thank you, because you taught me last night and my ratings went up!” Ardi obviously knows.
“But big brother get that value because brother's own business.” Vika said because she could not accept what Ardi gave her.
“But if you don't teach me, how can I understand so easily.” Ardi put the box on the garden table next to Vika, “I have to go back to class, later tonight I will wait for you to finish working in the store.” Ardi then left.
Her night...
“Sorry you I can't take it.” Vika handed him the box that Ardi left in the park when he met Ardi after he worked at the store.
“Open first, I'm sure you like it.” Said Ardi sure, “If you really do not like it, you can not accept it.” Reciprocity.
“Ta..”
“Bukalah.” Pinta Ardi's.
Vika was silent, from this afternoon he had not opened the box because he did not intend to accept it. But hearing Ardi say so sure, he wondered what the box was. Slowly open the box and...
“I, this?” Vika sees a unique ball hanger that she saw in the store yesterday, she is confused why Ardi presented the hanger to her.
“I saw you staring at that hanger yesterday, I thought you liked it. So I bought it!” Ardi Obviously.
Slowly Vika's little fingers tried to hold the hanger, but somehow her fingers stopped, she seemed hesitant. Not yet had Vika held the hanger, her hand shook making the box fall. Vika also wants to take the box but...
“Why you?” Ardi asked worriedly when he saw Vika who was about to take the box suddenly sitting on the road.
Vika did not reply, she fell silent as if thinking of something.
“Vika,” Said Ardi worried, but Vika still did not answer, “Vika,” Said again, saw Vika closed her eyes and bit her lips Ardi worried he was holding Vika's arm while shaking a small body in front of him.
“Ti, no.” Reply Vika realized in her daydream, “I don't like it, sorry.” Vika hands him the box he took, then runs away from Ardi.
“Waiting Vik, Vika!” Ardi took the hanger that Vika had not taken and then chased after Vika but somehow he could not pursue it.
Tomorrow harinha...
"Can we talk?,” Tanya Ardi who from this afternoon waiting for Vika in front of the store.
“What's up?” Ask Vika coldly.
“If my attitude bothers you, I'm sorry.” Ardi regretted, knowing he was too hasty to approach Vika, he thought Vika was so attention-grabbing that he wanted to befriend Vika.
“Tak what. But I hope in the future big brother doesn't see me again.” Said Vika, when it looks disappointment on Ardi's face. But even so Vika can't do anything, she just doesn't want to get in touch with anyone anymore so as not to repeat the same mistake, as happened to Shila.
“Alright, thanks for your help yesterday.” Ardi then left.
Vika was silent for a long time after Ardi left, she kept being shadowed by Ardi's disillusioned plow. He also knew Ardi was a good boy, but…
‘No can,’ Thought when he wanted to stop Ardi, ‘You know this is the best for everyone.’ His connection strengthens the heart.
