Genesis: The Lucky Blacksmith
Past Times

Mona seemed to be able to see the doubt on Riko's face. The girl then ventured to ask. “What's up?” ask Mona.

Riko looked at the girl before him with a hint of guilt. Mona had already worked hard to build the Forging Master to become even bigger. Mona even gave up her position in the Corsage Guild and ignored her personal busyness for the sake of the guild. But now Riko is faced with a difficult choice. Riko's guilt arises because at first glance he chose to finish his studies rather than take care of the guild. Riko regained her senses.

“Ah, no. This is a chat from my teacher. He said the title of my script was in the ACC keep telling me to start tutoring. But if now I don't think I can either. There's still a lot of work. So maybe I will just drop my college,” replied Riko while putting her phone back.

There was a speck of bitter taste that Riko felt. But life is always about choices. It's too late for him to pursue his graduation dream and become a scholar. Although it was the expectations of his parents, but Riko also had other responsibilities now.

“Why should it be removed, Rik?” Mona suddenly breaks Riko's assumption. “Lanjutin aja, after all live thesis. Don't worry about the guild. We already have a fixed income from Parangkusumo dungeon. Crystal sales result is the same as the dungeon rental is enough to cover the production of our guild. Continues our two new teams that can be sent to eradicate the dungeon outside are also a lot of income.

“Just be calm. Leave everything to us and you can focus the thesis first. As long as you persevere and really do fuss, at most three months run wild right? Don't worry too much,” said Mona reassured.

Riko was at a loss for words. Somehow Mona can always understand herself and make Riko feel calm. “You're serious, Mon? But where can I please –.”

“Udah is okay. Your parents also kept asking about college. I see you always moody every time you call your mother. Just one more step. Celine. After that you can focus on work without being burdened with other responsibilities. Okay?” cut Mona with confidence.

I don't want Riko to smile wider. The burden in her heart was like being lifted thanks to Mona's words of comfort. “Thank you very much, Mon,” he said gratefully.

The next day Riko decided to go to her college. Zein insisted on driving Riko because of his sense of responsibility as the Guild Leader's protector. However, Riko apparently has bought a unit of car with money from his cooperation with the Ares guild. The sedan came early in the morning after Mona took care of her entire purchase at the dealership.

Zein was amazed to see the expensive-looking black, metallic smooth car. It is not the latest series, but Riko is quite satisfied with the car.

“Yuk ah, I anter using a new car,” said Zein excited.

Riko pulls his guildmate away from his new car. “Neventless. My campus is there. I also want to get a new car myself,” said Riko while opening the car door at the wheel.

Zein scowled disappointedly. “What if there is a nyabotase lo on the road again?” his question is full of worry.

“Ngaklah. Safely. Silverdeath must be busy preparing for Guild War right now. Won't be able to perecokin us.” Riko answered as she got into her new car. The young man closed the car door without waiting for Zein to reply.

After waving a glance, Riko came out of her apartment building and started driving towards the campus not far from where she lived.

Ten minutes later, Riko arrived at the school. He parked his car proudly and then immediately slid into the lecturer's room by bringing a thesis file that he had compiled. Previously Riko had made an appointment with the Dean as well as his guidance lecturer, Mr. Dibyo. Therefore he did not need to wait in line like other students whose class was under Riko.

“Come also you, Riko,” greet Mr. Dibyo when Riko meets him in his room.

“Eh, yes, Sir. Sorry, didn't see the announcement yesterday. If not ACC, sir,” said Riko while sitting in front of the lecturer.

“Yeah, your students are a special case. You guys chased the deadline should also be able to graduate this year, yes. Affecting campus accreditation. I will not eat it anymore. The important thing is that you are diligent in guidance and done seriously. Okay?” said Mr. Dibyo without stale bases.

Riko nodded steadily. This time he finished his studies quickly. Especially after the Dean himself said that it would help simplify the script. Riko became more confident he could graduate quickly.

Finally, the first guidance process was completed after twenty minutes. Mr. Dibyo gave a lot of input and some literacy resources for Riko to work on. The young man stepped lightly out of the lecturer room through the hallway of his bustling campus of freshmen.

In the middle of his journey, suddenly Riko's eyes caught a familiar figure. A short bob-haired woman who had just walked out of the Tata Usaha room. The woman also accidentally found Riko in the crowd. The two stared for a while before the woman finally greeted him.

“Riko?”

“What are you doing here, Sit?” riko asked the woman who was none other than Sita, her ex-boyfriend who lives in the front apartment.

“I ... manage legalization files for office purposes,” said Sita while showing the documents she held. “If you?” ask Sita later.

Riko showed her stack of scripts that had been neatly pinched. “Guidings,” hatchback is short.

Sita's eyes were round. The girl looked as lively as the smile that spread on her sweet face that made Riko's heart beat again. That smile that once made Riko fall in love with Sita.

“What if we had lunch together? I haven't been to the campus cafeteria for a long time. I miss the chicken,” take Sita suddenly.

Riko has no power to refuse. Besides because he was hungry, also because the smile Sita who had not seen for a long time made Riko's defense falter.

“We can also discuss your script. Who knows I can help,” added Sita ceria. The girl also held Riko's arm as if their relationship was still familiar as before. Riko can only resign following Sita to the campus cafeteria. A place full of nostalgia about his past with the girl.
