When I met Andika who was slowly sitting down, I felt so embarrassed. He grabbed the drink I placed in front of him and sipped slowly.
"Thank you for the drink" he said with a smile.
Arga shook his head with a smile, his hands raised into the air as if to say, No problem.
I exhaled, not daring to stare at the noisy surroundings from being so embarrassed. My face felt increasingly heated over time and cold sweat rolled down from my forehead.
Should I just run away? No. gabe. That would definitely make me a cocker. I finally ventured to look at Andika then smiled pretentiously cute. I must look ridiculous in everyone's eyes.
"You ... can't say ...." I swallowed spit. Doubt to reveal it. But, this is one way that I don't feel so embarrassed.
"Yes?" Andika looked at me sharply.
"Can't you just say .. love me? Didn't you ask me out yesterday?"
Andika squinted one eye. I looked at him cynically. A proud guy like Andika, should have been humiliated. Next to me stood up, Arga continued to be silent.
"Now, I want to give you an answer. Since I already have a boyfriend who is also a student at this college, then I can't be your girlfriend. It's ridiculous to see you so proud. Do you think I like you?"
Andika smiled coldly. One eye again. "Then why did you tell me to say ...."
"To humiliate you!" quickly answer.
Andika smiled scornfully. His face looks sad. "Then, where's your boyfriend?" It cringes. His gaze traced my appearance.
"How could your girlfriend not be here right now in the break? Was he so busy studying that he didn't have time to accompany his girlfriend to a meal?" Andika looked at me triumphantly.
I'm mute. Idiotically. Why don't I sort out the words that will come out first? That's true what Andika said. How could my boyfriend not be next to me especially during this break?
Not wanting to be caught in the middle of bragging, then I turned to the right and left looking for. I flinched and immediately turned my head as my hands were suddenly tightly grasped. Arga smiled at me and then spread a smile at everyone who was staring straight at me.
"It's not hidden anymore. Let everyone know that we're actually dating."
Sounds celeknukan. "Well, what a great new student, to be able to date the student president. Great."
"Perhaps, Arga's sister dipelet."
My chest feels hot hearing it. My hands are slowly clenched. Not having time to vent my frustration, my hand was pulled out of the cafeteria. Arga just took off my hand upon our arrival in front of the quiet library.
"Why are you embarrassing yourself?" ask Arga while sitting down. I sit down.
"Thank you for helping me."
Arga smiled a little.
Silent. I hope the break is over soon so I have a reason to go to class soon. Sitting next to a stranger like this makes me uncomfortable. Every now and then, I stared at one or two people coming out of the library.
"It's okay if you don't want a story. But if you want to trust me, I can't be trusted."
I looked towards him. Arga gave a small smile, revealing a small whisker on his left cheek. So sweet.
I let out a breath.
"Don't feel burdened. I'm not forcing you to tell a story."
"I need a lot" I said at last. Doubtful to continue, but finally chose to say it. Arga seems like a good guy.
"His twin brother wanted me to approach him to find out if he was really normal or not. If I manage to make Andika a boyfriend, I'll get some money."
I looked at Arga long enough. He didn't look surprised at all. Also don't look upset knowing I'm that kind of girl. He also did not smile. He's a really good listener.
Arga rubbed the top of my head. I looked at him with a roaring chest.
"There are still many ways to earn money" he said with a reassuring look.
I nodded and smiled smirkingly. "That's possible. But a month is enough to make a lot of money? If my father's food stall stays quiet, I won't go to college here anymore" I said pessimistically.
"You can work part-time, " said Arga. His gaze was fixed to my face. When I'm sad like this and someone tries to calm me down, it feels a little calm.

I immediately put the books scattered on the table when the last lecturer ended the material and then stepped out of the class quickly.
"Some people say you. If I hadn't been fasting, I would have helped you, Yan." Andini looked at me with a sorry face. She grabbed a mini mirror from her bag and tidied up her hijab. When he finished, he gave it to me. Replace me who is now tidying up the hijab.
"Yes, hello? Brother Evaan! Kan, I told you not to pick it up. Okay. Okee's. Tell Kak Tari, be patient wait for me. I'll be right down." Andini put her HP in the bag and looked at me.
"Yan, I go home first, huh? My brother and his fiancee were waiting at the gate. If I don't get there soon, I'll be taken by Evan."
I gave her a mirror and nodded. Andini immediately stepped away. I put the books back in and looked up when a hand knocked on the corner of my desk.
"You!" I looked at him unhappily as my gaze rubbed with sharp eyes at the annoying guy.
"Let's talk."
I put the bag on my shoulder and stood up.
"You must be crazy!" I said annoyed as I walked away.
I looked in surprise when Andika suddenly grabbed my hand, forcing me to face her. Behind him, a few classmates stared at us with incredulous looks.
I jerked my breath. "Deliver!"
"Try it if you can" he said with a defiant face. Ihsan walked over, she frowned as her gaze rested on Andika's hand which gripped my hand tightly.
"What exactly do you want?!" My voice sounds loud.
"I want to be honest with you, New Student. I seem to have fallen in love with you."
Some of the students behind us looked dumbfounded.
To drive away the silence that suddenly enveloped this room, I chuckled.
"Enough joke. I'm going home."
But as I stepped, I realized my hand was still held tightly. I turned around, faced him back.
"Deliver!" I tried to shake his hand but it didn't work. Andika even tightened her grip.
"What do you want exactly? Didn't you just say I wasn't your girlfriend?" Lookatku scorn. I can't believe this guy is so annoying.
"Did you not want to be my girlfriend last night?" Andika asked back with one eye.
"Because you didn't agree last night, then you're not my girlfriend. Now, I want to ask you again. Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
Some of the classmates were also students at noon coming closer, knowing that they had surrounded us. Ana looks to burst into the crowd, finally standing not far from us. The girl took turns to look at me and then at her twin sister. Is he now sure that Andika's normal guy isn't what she was worried about?
After a long silence, people finally said half-shouting, "Receive! Accept it! Thank you!"
