I'm Just a Figurant
[POV Alex] Ch 100 - Monitor

In Jakarta I chose to live in a boarding house, while Diana lived in an apartment, one building with Aaron. I chose a boarding house close to campus, to make it easier for me to mobilize.

I studied at the Faculty of Engineering majoring in Electrical, while Diana followed Aaron at the Faculty of Business Management.

As a freshman, I was pretty busy. From the busy schedule of OSEK (Campus Introduction Study Orientation) to adaptation to new courses and environments. But as busy and tired as it is, my head never stops thinking about it. I can only rely on my best friend to find out.

"Hallo Nguk?"

"How's it going?"

"Task me first the cake. The one who was asked was always him,"

"Because I know you're doing fine. How's she? Is he accepted? College at what faculty? What majors?"

"One-to-one Nguk. For a long time I was tired of being your spy like this. Why not hire someone to monitor their activities?"

"I don't trust anyone else. I believe you."

"But you took me,"

"Quickly tell me everything about him,"

"If you're so intentional, why don't you just go to college here? You can monitor it yourself,"

"Whispering. Tell me quickly."

Dino told me everything he knew. I'm proud that Khansaku earned that scholarship with his ability. I'm proud he was accepted into the university through the national entrance selection. Whatever faculty and majors he took, I will always be proud.

"Tomorrow report again."

"Nguk, my faculty and faculty are quite a distance away. I can't always monitor your women,"

"Yes, find me someone who can monitor him. But I want that person to be trustworthy. I can't imagine him being stalked by a freak all day,"

"You should have stalked yourself. Fucking weird. You've been getting weird for a long time. Why obsess over him at all? Is it because he rejected you? Handsome Youth idol all girls?"

"It's none of your business. You don't want to see me like that again, do you? Follow my words."

"I am actually your best friend what is your subordinate anyway? Always telling me to obey you." Dino nagged, but she still obeyed what I wanted.

Dino paid one of Khansa's schoolmates to report the girl's movements to him. Every night, I just need to receive the full report.

The hectic schedule of lectures and practicums overwhelmed me quite and drained me of energy. But all that tiredness seemed to disappear as soon as I saw his face.

Like a fool I rubbed the screen of a cell phone, imagining my hand wiping his face. Khansaku is still the same. He's still cycling, his hair is always pigtailed with his thick glasses. I'm glad that Khansa hasn't changed her appearance. At least it does not attract men br*ngsek to approach him.

Every accomplishment makes me proud. Khansa has a GPA of 4.00. He also became a more independent person. Make money with your own efforts. I wanted to hug and rub her head, saying that I was so proud of her. When that happened, I could only hug my phone, imagining I was hugging it.

Khansa's achievements and independence spurred me to do the same. I am studying hard to produce satisfactory grades. I became a prominent student in my faculty. It made the lecturers began to be interested, until finally the offer came to me.

They offer accelerated programs or accelerated classes in college. They offer an S1-S2 acceleration program. The goal is to accelerate the study period by getting bachelor and master degrees at once. I didn't waste that chance.

S1 and S2 education which is generally taken within a period of six years, I can take it in just four years. Not stopping there, universities began to offer various scholarships abroad for doctoral programs (S3).

I sorted out and selected a potentially large university to bring me closer to my dream. In the end I dropped the option on the Technical University of Braunschweig (TU Braunschweig), one of the technical universities in Germany.

Actually it was a tough decision, thinking about leaving the country and being away from Khansa. But I went back and reviewed my wishes. In the end I still left for Germany, but even in Germany, I could also get word every night.

That night I heard the news that Khansa had been accepted into one of the famous private banks. He also became the best graduate in his faculty. This sense of pride made me unconsciously shed tears. It is as if I am a father who has successfully led his son to success. I was eager to hug and kiss her forehead, but all I could do was kiss her picture.

I went back to look at another photo of Khansa. I was stuck seeing her look in work clothes. She's become so pretty. His body was no longer short, but tall and slim. The thick glasses and hair on the pigtails are no more. She turned into a very beautiful woman.

Instead of being happy, it made me very worried. I intended to call Dino, telling him to tighten up his monitoring before the young man called me first.

"Din, tell your men to watch him for twenty-four hours. Why does he look like this? He'll invite br*ngsek men to tease him,"

"Sorry, I can't seem to be watching him anymore,"

Dino's words made me fall silent. Trying to calm down, I asked, "Why?"

"Khansa was accepted at the Surabaya branch, while I couldn't go anywhere. I also couldn't have asked a classmate to watch him, either,"

"Are you serious, Din?"

"Duarius. So how?"

"You really can't monitor him anymore? Is there no other way?"

"I actually have an acquaintance, Lex. It's just not so close. He's got people who can be hired to do anything,"

"It's not illegal or criminal, is it?" I asked suspiciously.

"Your behavior that has always monitored Khansa for four years can also be called Nguk criminal, you realize?"

"But I have no evil intentions. I just want to know how it's going,"

"Just the same. You've ruined people's privacy. Back to the topic. Are you willing to have your Khans monitored by someone else?"

"I reiterate first. Is their business legal? Nothing to do with crime?"

"All I know is that they handle trivial matters. Such as stalking a husband or girlfriend who is accused of cheating, or stalking a bust that has been targeted for years but there is no courage to express,"

"Camp**t." I knew Dino was insinuating me. "You're sure they don't do heavyweight illegal things, right?"

"If so, I am sure." Dino replied firmly.

I was silent, thinking the best thing I could do right now. My position is in Germany right now, I can't just leave my research and return to Indonesia. On the other hand I'm too cowardly to meet Khansa alone. I was really afraid of being rejected a second time.

"alright. I trust you, Din. If there's anything with her, you're the first person I'm looking for. Remember it was Din."

"Based on the boy, instead of thanking him threatened his best friend. But I promise you Nguk, your women will always be safe, trust me. Yes, continue your research. I want to go on again."

"Oke Din, thank you. I'm waiting for your next report."

"Okay, Mr. Commandant." And the phone was shut down.
