ARUNGGA (2nd chance )
4. Repeating Again

Arungga looks dumbstruck in front of the workshop. He had just arrived at his father's workshop. Arungga remembered that the workshop that became the center of pride as well as the main livelihood of the father had burned down. A few months after the fire, Arman died of depression.

From where he stands Arungga can observe the activities of the father and three employees. One of Arman's employees coded the boss about Arungga's presence. Arman turned his head and smiled looking at Arungga.

" You have finally come. It must be because tired of diomelin with Mama You yes..," said Arman with a smile.

Hearing the father's greeting makes Arungga moved. He immediately rushed into Arman's arms and buried his face on his father's shoulders.

" Hey.., why Ga. What's up...?" arman asked while patting Arungga on the back.

" I'm gapapa Pa. Just miss Papa..," said Arungga while breaking his embrace.

" Kangen...?" ask Arman not to believe it.

" Yes Pa. Why, Papa don't believe me ?. Is only Alina allowed to talk kangen because she's a girl...?" asked Arungga while grunting in annoyance.

Arungga's words made Arman laugh. He also damaged Arungga's hair with anxiety and grabbed the child's shoulder tightly.

" Papa doesn't mean that. Papa was just wondering how you are doing today. Tumben pake says kangen plus hug Papa all. Though seinget Papa, since You entered High School, You do not want to be hugged or hug Papa. You say shame, don't be gentle. But look at Arungga today, maybe talking to Papa.., " said Arman in between his laughter.

" yes. Now if that's all I'm ashamed of Pa. I'm sorry for talking about that first. Papa must be very disappointed. I shouldn't have been influenced by my friends Pa." said Arungga in a regretful tone.

" Gapap. Papa understood. It used to be that Papa was your age too. Naturally, his name is also adolescence..," said Arman with a smile.

Arungga smiled at his father's answer. Then he observed the workshop workers who were busy repairing cars and motorcycles at the time.

" Why ?. Are you interested in helping them...?" ask Arman who believes Arungga will refuse.

" Can I Pa ?. What if it breaks more...?" ask Arungga.

" You look at it first while you study. You also know some of the engine components. If you already know which one is damaged and understand how to fix it, Papa will pay you every time you succeed in repairing the engine or car that comes in. How, interested in it ?. It's good to make pocket money plus ngisi time off your college..," said Arman while raising his eyebrows.

" Ok, who's afraid...!" sahut Arungga.

" good. You can start from now on Ga. Tuh, right there. Try to see how Dani betulin the bike is." said Arman while pointing to one of the employees who are repairing the bike.

" Ok Pa..," said Arungga then rushed to the person in question.

Arman silently smiled. Both of his eyes looked teary. For some reason, seeing the enthusiastic Arungga help improve the bike makes Arman moved.

" Eventually. After getting tired of persuading, Arungga also wants to help. Papa is happy because he has someone who will continue this business later. May this be a good start for you, my son." Arman said with a smile.

Dani looks smiling welcoming Arungga. He knew very well that Arungga had always rejected his father's wishes.

" How about Ar, you know...?" ask Dani a few moments later.

" Lice Bang..," said Arungga.

" This is done. You can say to Mr. Arman if this is your work.", said Dani.

" Don't Bang. I don't want to eat blind. Papa's side must know who's doing this. Mmm..., I just want to ask Bang Dani for help." said Arungga.

" Solicit help what is Ar...?" ask Dani.

" Maybe in the future I will often ngerepotin Bang Dani because of his plan I will learn to improve the same motorcycle engine Bang Dani later.", said Arungga.

" Well, that's good Ar. It was time for the son of the owner of this workshop to learn to understand the same machine. I don't mind sharing knowledge with you, anyway" Dani said with a smile.

" Thank you Bang." said Arungga.

Arungga looked at Dani's back which was getting further away. A moment later he took a long breath. Arungga rubbed his face after a shadow about events in the past again adorned his mind.

Arungga remembered how selfish he was at that time. Arungga loudly refused the wishes of his father who intended to leave the workshop business to him. Arungga felt his interest and talent were not suitable for the job in the dirty workshop.

" Why was I so arrogant. Papa must be very disappointed. Though there is nothing wrong with learning to handle yourself when our vehicle has a problem..," murmured Arungga while rubbing his face.

At that time Arungga was determined to learn to repair the vehicle engine seriously so that he had a backup job when he was 'dropped' from his position later.

Arungga appears to enter the campus with definite steps. Sometimes Arungga answered his friend's greeting with a smile.

Suddenly a beautiful girl approached Arungga. The girl is a Tantri, a college flower that makes many men fall up after her. Arungga remembered that Tantri was his lover. They just 'incident', exactly a week before the semester break.

" Hi Arungga...!" greet Tantri with a smile.

" Hey Tantri..," said Arungga reluctantly.

" Why during the holidays it's so hard to find you Ar. You're weird too. Masa has no initiative to come and ngajak I hang out where the cake is. Do you not miss me ?. Good thing there is Haikal who is making my way so I'm a little amused.", said Tantri.

" Sorry Tantri. I was busy helping my parents in the workshop..," said Arungga.

" It's very busy until you reply to chat I..," said Tantri while sneering.

" yes. But you said it was comforted because it was invited to go with Haikal. So no problem dong...," said Arungga while preparing to step.

Tantri also held back Arungga's steps by blocking the lover's hand.

" But my girlfriend is you Arungga...!" tantri said a little.

Arungga smiled bitterly. He looked at Tantri with a disappointed look. For a moment the two stared at each other in silence. Arungga let out a long sigh and slowly released Tantri's hand.

" If you realize I'm Your Girlfriend, then why are you even going to the same Haikal...?" tanya Arungga flat.

" But he's your best friend Arungga. I don't think it's a problem if I go with him. Besides I'm the same Haikal no relationship really. I just thought he was a friend, not more..," said Tantri quickly.

" Friend...?" ask Arungga not to believe.

" yes. Since we became, everyone around you automatically entered my social environment as well. Your friend is my friend, your friend is my best friend too. Is that Arungga...?" ask Tantri worriedly.

Arungga smiled at Tantri's words.

" It's up to you Tan. Sorry, I can't get you to class. Now I have to go to the lecturer," said Arungga and left just like that to leave Tantri.

" Wait Arungga. You're not jealous anymore, are you Haikal ?. Arungga...!" call Tantri loud.

Arungga seemed to wave his hand without looking. While Tantri can only stomp her feet because she is upset with the attitude of Arungga.

In the distance Haikal seemed to smile with satisfaction watching Arungga and Tantri quarrel. He hopes the two break up so that he can replace Arungga.

Arungga who knew the presence of Haikal seemed to continue to step while smacking a smile.

" If you think I'm stupid like I used to be, you're wrong. I'll turn things around until you'd rather run than face me." murmured Arungga, clenching his hand.

In another corner, a girl with the appearance of 'nyeleh' appears to continue to observe the movement of Arungga. Sometimes he smiled and the next second he looked nervous. After Arungga was no longer reached by his eyes, the girl turned her body and rushed away from the place.
