Hate You, Love You

Hate You, Love You
Campus Events


It had been three weeks since the fateful incident. Amara returned to college and attended college as usual. He has now changed 180 degrees.


Amara prefers to be alone. He really limits himself in socializing, especially with men. The weight of his body was down, seen his thin cheeks and collarbone which is now more clearly printed.


Although Amara has a great inner struggle because she is constantly plagued with guilt, but her relationship with Danis is still going as usual. Nothing has changed.


It's not that Amara is evil for not being open to Danis. But every time Amara wanted to try telling a story, the fear of being abandoned by Danis made the girl undo her intentions.


Amara thought surely Danis would feel disgusted at him, like Amara who still often felt hate and disgust with her own body.


Three weeks passed, but the shadow of Gio's body that was oppressing and raining in still often stopped by in Amara's dreams. Makes the girl hate herself for not being able to take care of herself. So does his hatred for Gio, getting bigger as the dream comes.


What Amara wants is time to jump into the next two years. Where she will soon catch up with Danis and get married there. Unbeknownst to anyone, Amara was busy collecting information about the s3 scholarship in Boston. He did it to take his mind off the trauma. And to ease his departure.


Amara walked down the sidewalk with her head covered in a hoodie. He walks alone in the heat of the sun. Makes people look at him wonder.


Amara walked with her head down. Enter the campus library building to spend time before entering the next lesson hour. His steps came to a halt when someone gave him a brochure.


Quickly Amara maraih her and passed away. He read the brochure which turned out to contain plans for campus activities next Sunday. There will be a seminar and a question and answer with a successful businessman who became a regular donor on the campus.


"Fra !"


Amara stopped her steps as someone called her name. Fearful Amara turned her head towards the voice and it turned out that one of her lecturers called her.


"Wait, you have something to talk to you about" said the man, who is about half a century old.


"Yes, Sir ?" Amara asked the man who was standing in front of her.


"You know next week we're going to have a seminar ?"


"Yes, I just read the information in the brochure given by the student," replied Amara, looking back and pointing to a student who was handing out the brochure.


"Well.. There will be a question and answer session,"


"Then do I have to ask a question ?" Ask Amara doesn't understand.


"No, but you were assigned to say thank you to him. You're a scholarship boy, right ?"


"Hu'um.. But -why should I, sir ?" Ask Amara stammered. Anger does not want if later he will be the center of attention of many people at the seminar.


"Because only you who this year get a full scholarship from him, even you get pocket money also right ?"


"Y-yes sir" replied Amara.


Feeling that she had no other choice, Amara agreed.


"Later, put on a slightly formal shirt ! Don't wear a sweater like this,"


"Good sir" said Amara with her forced smile.


"Yes, that's all !" Said the lecturer, and Amara immediately said goodbye to go to the library.


"Just say thank you and good luck. That's all, Ara. You can definitely !" Amara said to herself. Though the event will take place next Sunday, but Amara has felt stage fright from now on.

For the past three weeks Gio has been working under intense scrutiny. Makes the space narrow. With his own efforts Gio looking for the existence of Amara but in fact three weeks passed, Gio has not managed to find it.


Now there are no more confidants or personal assistants that Gio can ask for help to find Amara. Gio was completely alone. And the fact that Amara is not a permanent catering officer makes Gio even more difficult. But even so Gio did not give up, he was willing to ask everyone who worked at his house that night.


"Amara huh Brother ? I remember first. The girl who came home first when the work was not done. That's not the hell ?" Currently Gio is asking one of the catering officers who worked at his house 3 weeks ago.


"It's true, yes" replied Gio.


"If it's really her, she's Dian's friend, she's Dian's friend" explained the girl again.


"Dian ?" Ask Gio not understand.


"That's the guy over there !" Said the girl while pointing at another girl.


With a hasty step, Gio immediately approached the girl who was sitting while writing something on the table. Without further ado, Gio immediately asked about Amara


After a long time asking questions with the girl, Gio was finally able to track down Amara's whereabouts.The information Gio received was also quite detailed until the man was pleased. Now Gio knows where the address and also the campus where Amara studied.


"I finally found you" Gio said, wiping the fine identification he kept in his pocket.


***


"Where's Gio from ?" Ask the father who was waiting for him at the office.


"Let's lunch break, Pa," replied Gio lying. Though he did not have time to eat at all because he was busy looking for the existence of Amara.


"Next week you represent Papa at this college event !" Said the father, handing Gio a brochure and then leaving without giving his son a chance to talk.
