ARUNGGA (2nd chance )
7. Bollig ...

Already predictably, Arungga passed the selection of internships at JC company. Of course Arungga was very happy. Moreover, he escaped without burden because he did not have to take responsibility for Haikal as in the past.

After hearing the announcement of the employee reception, Arungga rushed home. He seemed to be in a hurry to walk through the campus gate because the sky was getting dark and it seemed to be raining soon. Today Arungga deliberately did not use the motor owned by his father because he wanted to enjoy the trip by public transportation.

Arriving at the stop, it rained heavily. Arungga heaved a sigh of relief for successfully arriving at the stop on time so that his body was not wet from the rain.

Arungga also spread his gaze to the corner of the stop and saw many people who took shelter at the stop besides himself. From where he stood he also saw Zahira who seemed to be standing on the edge of the stop while holding her bag tightly. Around Zahira were four students looking at him with intimidating looks.

Arungga frowned because he did not understand what the four men did to the one woman. Moreover, they do it in public places and are clearly visible.

Slowly Arungga shifted to 'eavesdropping' what Zahira was talking about with the four students.

" I'm not bringing any more money now. It's just enough to take the bus" said Zahira lirih.

" Don't know. You've already taken care of my camera, so you have to change. You know how much I lost. And I've been kind enough to give Lo the same opportunity to make nyicil, so it's not worth a lot of reasons if I charge now..," said one of the students named Daren.

" It's not every day, too, Ren. If calculated from the beginning I deposit money with Lo, the wealth is more than enough to pay the loss Lo...!" sahut Zahira fast.

" Heh, where do you know if the money you love is enough. Did you count everything...?!" ask Daren angry.

" yes. I took all the money that Lo took from my hands. And it should have been finished from Sunday yesterday.," said Zahira ketus.

Zahira's answer surprised Daren and his three friends but made Arungga smile.

" Ingenious..," praised Arungga inwardly.

Realizing that Zahira is smarter than they thought, Daren and his three friends look at each other for a moment. Then the four nodded as if they had agreed on something.

" If you have everything, try to see where the evidence is..," challenge Daren's friend.

" Gu... I'm not bringing it now. Tomorrow I'll see the evidence..," said Zahira nervously as she clutched her bag tightly.

" Kok Lo is nervous. Don't-don't-don't you lie ya..," said one of the students as they advanced to approach Zahira.

" I'm not lying...! " sahut Zahira's.

" I don't believe it. Here I find the evidence myself...!" said one of Daren's friends while grabbing Zahira's bag.

Taking each other's bags happened. And strangely none of the people at the stop were disturbed by the scene as if they were used to seeing such a scene. Arungga clenched his hands in annoyance to see kezholiman in front of his eyes. When he intended to help, it was when the bag in Zahira's hand was captured and some of the contents were decomposed out.

" Don't...!" Zahira Screams.

And when Zahira screamed it was everyone turned towards her as if it had just dawned if there had been a bully there. Daren, who did not expect Zahira to scream, panicked.

" Tom...!" daren orders him to leave the stop followed by his two friends.

Student named Tomi also complied with Daren's request. He immediately returned Zahira's bag and rushed to follow Daren and his two friends.

Zahira seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He rushed to reach for his thing that was scattered on the stop floor. Zahira was shocked when a hand helped reach for her. When Zahira saw who the owner of the hand was, Zahira was even more surprised.

" ...?!" zahira said as she rounded her eyes.

" It is not Lo.., business" said Zahira ketus.

" But this isn't really Za. You can report this to the Dean.", said Arungga riled.

" It's not necessary. I can still handle everything myself..," said Zahira cuek.

" But Za..," Arungga's speech was interrupted as Zahira ran towards the bus that had just arrived.

Arungga could only gape staring at Zahira who seemed to stand crowded among the bus passengers. The girl glanced at Arungga as the bus started to drive away from the stop.

" G*la !. So all this time Zahira bullied abis-out. I think Zahira just ngalamin verbal bullying on campus. This is terrible, Kasian Zahira..," Arungga's mind while staring at the bus Zahira was riding with a raging feeling.

Soon the bus that Arungga was waiting for arrived. Arungga rushed up. Even though it must be crowded with other passengers, Arungga looks relaxed. Sometimes he smiled thinly because he was grateful to be able to repeat his precious moment. The moment when he became a student who had to fight to pursue his dream.

Arungga arrived at the house in a wet condition. Luckily the bag was made of watertight material so that the books and everything stored inside the bag remained dry.

" The rain, brother...?" greet Alina as she opens the door.

" You know it. Alas Lo..," grumbled Arungga while glaring annoyed.

Arungga's words didn't make Alina angry. The girl actually laughed amusedly to make Arungga even more upset.

" Kok laughs anyway. Ambilin towel dong Na...!" said Arungga gash.

" Eh yes. Sorry sister, Kirain wants to go straight to the rich room usually..," said Alina while stepping into the house.

Alina's words make Arungga the most lamentable. He recalled his old habits that made the mother scream annoyed because she had made the floor wet when running into the room in a drenched state.

" Can you ask for a towel please Ga !. Not a rich run of little kids like this. Look at it, the floor is wet and this makes Mama's work add tau. Though Mama was busy with leaky ceiling. You don't even think about the effect. How if someone slipped because of the gini-rich wet floor...!" nagging the Mama while mopping the floor.

Arungga closed his eyes considering how 'rogue' he used to be. Arungga remembers exactly that he deliberately did it just to upset the mother. And it worked. But now Arungga does not want to do it again because he has promised to fix everything.

" Back...!" call Alina loud to make Arungga surprised.

" Oh my God, Alina. Big brother deaf yes, why should the screams so anyway...?!" said Arungga while covering his ears.

" What is deaf. Called daritadi even diem aja. Brother sleep huh...?" alina asked while thrusting the towel in her hand towards Arungga.

" Indiscriminately. Who sleeps..," said Arungga while rubbing his hair with a towel.

" When you don't sleep, why do you put the brakes on there...?" alina asked with a probing gaze to make Arungga flinch.

" So you know Lo...!" sahut Arungga was wrong.

After saying that Arungga stepped quickly into the room to make Alina laugh again.
