Campus Horror
The Part 34
Andi went straight to the bathroom after her meeting with Bagi at the cafe near the house.
Turn on the hot water tap to fill the bath. Andi plans to release fatigue by soaking in warm water.
***
All the memories of Asih now burst through time.
Andi remembers the first time she found someone so charming sitting curled up in a book in front of her.
Even if swallowing word for word is able to be done, surely the person becomes the first to do it.
Every day the charming figure of the woman sat on the same bench. Every day.
If only Saturday and Sunday the library did not close, the woman would still visit.
Slowly Andi walked in the corridor through the library, where he glanced at the bench. I don't know what book interested him.
The next day, Andi did not have a teaching schedule, but he decided to go to campus. However, Andi deliberately adjusted the clock to come up with the Asih habit. Unintentionally, Andi found the charming woman walking out of the Literature Campus.
Andi did not dare to conclude that the woman was a Student of the Literature Campus.
Andi decided to wait for the woman in the parking lot only.
***
Sure enough, the woman walked slowly with a face as soft as children who would visit a toy store.
In silence Andi followed the woman confidently having a purpose to the library.
Andi let the woman fill in the list of visitors provided by library employees.
Then, he picked up a book from one of the shelves in the Manca State section.
Andi frowned and thought.
“What interesting things can you get from books about abroad?”
Andi decided to go in and head to the staff desk.
“Good day, Mr. Andi. Tumben to perpus, Sir.” Sapa perpus officials were surprised to find Andi was opening a visitor book.
“Iya, Mom. There is a book I want to search.” Andi spoke with her distinctive tenor voice like male singer Ari Lasso.
Not stopping the opportunity, Andi quickly glanced at the row of visitor lists.
There are many names written on the book on this page. Right at the visitor number before Andi, the name Asih Prabandari from the Literature Campus has been recorded.
Dumbfounded Andi when looking at the list of visitors. Because really every working day the woman with the name Asih was visiting the library.
All sorts of books have been read. Starting from the procedure to pick up the phone like a reception employee in the front office. Then there are also books on the history of foreign tourists visiting Indonesia. And now, Asih is recorded to be reading a book with the title Tips and Tricks for Working Abroad.
Andi smiled faintly at the spirit of the woman.
Andi then closed the visitor's book. Silently and slowly, he walked towards the bookcase of Manca Negara.
He picked up a book called Easy to Speak English. Then he decided to sit opposite Asih, which was bounded by two empty benches.
Andi doesn't really read books. He wanted only to please his eyes to look at the physical beauty created by God.
His long, wavy black hair was neatly tied behind there. Her clear bright skin made any color clothing worth her wearing. The black bead that deftly guerrillaized to and fro enjoyed word for word on the book before him, was so tempting. Her fresh lips seemed to hypnotize anyone who looked at her.
Unexpectedly, Asih suddenly looked towards him.
Andi turned her eyes the other way. Slowly re-targeted the initial position, which is the bench occupied by Asih.
He no longer looked at her.
Andi looked around. There were no other visitors in the library other than her and Asih.
Andi decided to get closer to Asih.
“Hai.” Andi greeted with a slight whisper.
Suddenly looked and smiled.
A smile you will never forget. If you look at it from a close distance, Asih looks like Ida Iasha whose beauty face will not be timeless.
"I see from last week, you're here all the time. Aren't you bored?" Andi spoke his mind honestly.
"Even if nothing is done get bored." He answered kindly.
"I'm Andi. Teaching English here." Andi extended her hand.
"In the Literature Campus there are no interesting books to read?" Andi ventured to sit in front of Asih. Using the same table.
"It's over, sir. Ahaha.."
"How's it going?"
"I've done everything. That's why I'm invading here. Don't mind, sir?"
"Of course I object. I, the people here, have never touched the books. Even other college residents are more diligent. It's an insult to his name." Andi answered with a serious feigned face.
Asih immediately stared silently at Andi.
A second later Andi smiled and said, "Joke me."
Both of them laughed because of something simple.
***
Without feeling the clock has shown at forty-thirty in the afternoon. Asih decided to go home.
"Will you continue reading?"
Andi turned towards Asih who had now stood up to move to the bookshelf.
"Awhile more. Still a responsibility."
Andi's eyes followed every movement Asih made.
Walk towards the back corner of the room. Then take the broom.
Quickly he began to clean the library floor.
Andi kept silent to pay attention to the activities carried out by Asih. Now he started closing the library window.
Andi's point of view is now shifting towards library officials. He also seemed to be preparing to go home.
"Oh, just go home. Let me close the curtains later." The Library employee spoke to Asih as Asih closed the window behind the employee's desk.
"It's okay, Mom. We can go home together." Sahut Asih with hands began to move pulling orange-colored curtains.
Andi also stopped reading. Then put the book on the shelf.

"Have you eaten? Let's eat yuk first. Soto in the cafeteria is delicious." Andi ventured to ask Asih.
"No, Sir. Thanks though. I'm not hungry." He answered with a sweet smile. Although he lied, he admitted not hungry.
"Then let me take you to the dorm, yeah. We're in the same direction."
"No need, sir. I'm just walking."
"All right then. See you soon." Andi decided not to force. He will fight slowly.
***
Almost every day Andi passed through the library to see his heart.
Unfortunately today Andi can not accompany him to read books. Andi got a chance to be a moderator of a seminar. However, it did not dampen his intention to pay attention to Asih.
Boxed rice that became the consumption ration of the seminar was given to Asih. Andi really felt relieved when Asih received his gift with joy.
In other days, Andi also gave Asih snacks in a box. It just so happened that he became a seminar committee, and found that there was residual consumption in good condition.
Their closeness is also getting more intense. Andi ventured to propose to Asih. But unfortunately, he refused it.
After that incident, it was rarely seen. Andi became curious. I don't know where the kid is. There is a sense of guilt in Andi's heart because he had dared to ask his desire to edit Asih.
"Is it because it's Asih so it doesn't come?"
***
A good coincidence was obtained by Andi. He found Asih walking on the Literature Campus in a pale state.
Andi's arrival to the Literature Campus, in order to convey an invitation letter to the Literature Campus institution, to attend a Scientific Discussion seminar on Foreign Travelers.
Luckily Andi has not left the Literature Campus area.
Unconcerned by anything that could happen, Andi ventured to offer Asih to be escorted home by him.
Universe supports. Be willing to follow his offer.
However, without him noticing, there were other eyes that looked with sharp gazes towards them.
