Clandestine
Introducing it to my best friend

In this world I don't know who to trust but Dad. So great is the figure of my father who can double the role of being a gentle mother and a strong father in front of his son. It's just that Dad was so hard to spend so much time on me.

Ever since I was a child, he worked hard to meet all my needs until I met him very rarely. He'll take a minute if I do something he thinks is wrong.

Like when I was in Junior High class 2 I skipped class only to buy the latest Harry Potter series in Gramedia which sold limited. At that time the school called home and lastri my nanny raised him as a child. Pastri turned out to tell Dad when I was not in class and there was no information.

Dad invited me to lunch together and I could already guess that Dad would discuss the matter. It turns out that it's true that Dad went straight to the point asking me why I did it. He listened to my reasons for doing so and explained that it was not good.

Yes, that's how Dad taught me to let me do what I like if it's wrong then given an explanation that it's not good to do. I understand you don't have much time for me. I woke up Dad had left for the office and when I slept Dad just came home from the office.

I feel like I could not see Dad for more than a week when we live under one roof. Even so the only people I have in this world are Dad and next Pastri. She was about 34 years old and had no children at her wedding and her husband divorced her.

He lived a long life so he loved me and took care of me like his own son. I once asked him why not find a companion again he said he was now more than enough living in this house with me to make him happy.

The ringing of my phone alarm made me stunned to wake up and see the window that was not open by Madam Lastri made the morning sunlight into my room. Yesterday I told him not to wake me up in the morning because I had lunch.

I got up to get a towel and got ready for college to take care of some things.

"Magu mbak arka is ready to go to campus? breakfast first I made breakfast for arka." Warm greeting mbak Lastri who always swiftly prepare all my needs.

"iyaa mbak let's have breakfast together" saidky always like that because never once did I consider mbak Lastri someone else. She is like my own mother.

"Yes, I've just been with you, but I ate already" before leaving for campus I always take time to eat what has been prepared lastri because he was always sad when I did not eat breakfast at home.

Arriving at the campus using a yellow Vespa that I love very much because of my father's 17th birthday gift. I went straight to the campus cafeteria where I gathered with my friends.

I sat in the gazebo of the canteen waiting for my usual friends at this hour still on all sleep. I came early to college because I was going to meet someone important about my political organization.

"have you been right arka?" greeting tall men who look like her can be said to be handsome. He's from the organization next door that I'm going to meet to discuss the political cooperation that we're going to establish to win the democratic party that's going to be held in 2 months.

"yes I am arka, are you Joseph right?" he nodded and sat down in front of me while putting down his bag.

That's why he called me yesterday and asked to meet. I'm actually not interested in working with his organization just that I want to find out what offers he'll offer me.

"Where is mas? the one who met you mas" heard me answer his question he smiled wryly.

"oh yeah so this is it.." Our chat was running for over an hour. He decided not to take the class because it felt this matter was more urgent. Yes, that's the case if the student organization will be concerned with his organization rather than entering the class.

I also heard the story that Yusuf is a critical activist and often criticizes the campus bureaucracy. Unfortunately he's different from my organization so I don't know him very well.I know from people's mouths.

One more news that circulated that Joseph never dated. I don't know what the reason is until there is news that Joseph is a same-sex lover. I don't care about the news but from our conversation I think Yusuf is a cool person. I think I have the same frequency as Joseph.

But that's not a sign that I like him. For me a boyfriend would only hinder my political career in the college world.

"an attractive offer mas but back again I can't decide this alone. I have to discuss with my friends" I said while sipping the orange ice I bought from my mother.

"okay if you discuss it first I'll wait for the good news. I have business in building B if it's wrong building Political Science. want to be there?" bargain to me actually I brought a motorbike but the weather was very hot and the distance from the canteen to my building was quite far late I received the offer.

"maybe I have class in 15 minutes.My bike will be here." yusuf and I walked towards the bike and it turned out that the bike was the dirt bike I wanted but I thought again because my feet didn't get to the ground if I was riding it. haha

On the way, Yusf asked me what time I finished class and I answered at 3 pm. On the way I got a lot of less than pleasant looks from some people. Sudha is ordinary but really more than usual maybe because I was in a relationship with Yusuf idol of the women in the campus. Following the political organization on the campus made me have many enemies. Even I can not believe in my friends political organization because in the world of politics there is no such thing as an eternal friend. comrades can be opponents and opponents can be friends.

when I arrived at the parking lot I said goodbye and did not forget to thank Joseph for delivering me.
