“Ray and I met at the University, one class and one major. He's a smart kid and I honestly don't like him. Because it means we have to compete. I'm the type of person who likes competition very much, of course I have to be careful with my rivals. But he was alone. He was always alone and looked mysterious. You know what we nicknamed him? LIFO.”

“LIFO?” Calya seemed to think. “Do not say.”

“True, Last In First Out. The last person in the class and the first one out. He doesn't talk to anyone, hangs out with anyone. She is always alone.”

Damian paused for a moment. Moisten his throat by sipping black coffee there. A moment looked at Calya and laughed afterwards. “Conflict in yourself that sucks right?”

“What?” ask Calya.

“You feel annoyed at having to hear my story, but because you have already heard you are also curious about the continuation.” 

Calya was surprised to hear the man's explanation and it was clearly drawn on her face.

“See how surprised you are, then I must be right. Okay, we'll continue. One day I accidentally saw him and four men from other majors were together, but the atmosphere did not look good. I didn't want to get involved, so I think it's better that I leave. Suddenly I heard someone say, You are the cause of your parents' death! I heard people call him son of si*l bearer, lest this campus will also get si*l because of him.”

“Bullying.” sahut the woman.

“That’s right. The topic of parents is also quite sensitive to me. Somehow I went towards them and hit the face of one of them. Of course it turned into a two-on-four fight.”

“So that was the beginning of your friendship?” Calya asked again.

“No.”

“No?”

“That child.he is not at all grateful, even pleasantries ask me my situation is also not, even though I got a lot of injuries because of him.”

“He sucks.”

“Still sucks, and we're still rivals. Then we have been selected as candidates for merit scholarships.After several stages of selection, only the last 1 stage that determines the written test. That day I was unlucky, my motorcycle was damaged in the middle of the road so I arrived late. I thought I had failed, but it turned out that the boy was talking to the committee that he would not take the test if the participant was incomplete, so the test was eventually postponed. When I asked him why he did all this. Arrogantly he said ‘I have the pride to win with honor, because after all you must lose to me.”

“Then how did it go?” ask Calya.

“She won.”

“Hahaha,” Calya's laughter broke upon hearing Damian's reply. The man's words sounded like the narrative of a movie, but because his plot twist was different made the woman involuntarily laugh.

“That was the most annoying fact I've ever experienced. He became more and more arrogant, so I invited him to a 1-on-1.” duel

“You fight?”

“Baskets. At least if I can't beat him in academic terms, I can definitely beat him in sporting terms. That was the beginning of time we spent together. Basketball, football, bowling, swimming, badminton, we compete in almost every sport.”

Damian went back to drinking his coffee and this time with a greater number of sips.

“One day we had a badminton match. That day he looked different, I don't know. It was like there was something in his head, something that he was sniffing. He also tends to be quiet during the game, but we usually argue during the game. He was playing like he was really fighting. Wreak something, until he lost control and fell.”

“Then?”

“He was rushed to hospital. Absent for a week, then return under different circumstances.”

“Different?”

“What happened to his head?”

“No. Haha.not like that. Actually he's normal. Not a loner anymore, so like her this time.”

“Then what happened to him?”

“Entaihah, I never asked.”

“Why?”

“I heard some rumors, but what's the point. I don't need to know about it, what's for sure is that he's not as thick as he used to be. That's all that matters.”

Damian took his coffee back as a cover. The man chose to end his story here. The story of how she and Ray became close friends. At first glance it looks like their exchange of information will end, but Calya thinks differently.

“Now I find your similarities with Qeiza.”

“Our similarities? What?”

“You both like to start a fight.”

“He also had a fight?”

“He really likes fights. Whether he's involved or not, every time there's a fight he's always there.”

“When do you guys know each other?”

“SMA. We are one class, three years in a row.”

“Familiar classmates. Sweet once.”

“Friends one class, right. But we were not familiar from the beginning. We have different lives. Qeiza is like a social butterfly. She has friends everywhere. Active in extra-curricular activities, dang often hangout to popular places. While I like me like a nerd who is only glued to lessons.”

“And the moment that keeps you close is..”.

“Because we went to the same university and department, and he started following me everywhere. I remember the day orientation started, we realized we were going to the same university and the same major. He called out to me in a loud voice from 100m away. Run and hug me like a good friend who's been apart for a long time.”

“Haha.. He was already cheerful from the past it turns out.”

“He is indeed a cheerful and expressive child. Every morning there was a story he shared. What happens on the way home, what happens on the way to campus, what happens at home, what happens on social media to what happens on campus, every major up to the lecturer's office, He knows everything.”

“Just call it social butterfly.”

“Yes, But Qeiza is indeed the type that many people will love. He is friendly, kind and considerate. He always asks me what I eat and if I say the same food menu as yesterday he will start talking at length about healthy living from healthy food. On holidays if he knows I'm just staying at home he'll keep calling until I get out. He also always asked me about what I went through every time we didn't have the same class. It feels like he cares more about me than my own parents.”

“I think he loves you very much.”

“Yes, I think so too.She is also so to many of her friends. Hence the time his attitude changed a little I was very worried.”

“Is something happening?”

"Yes, ada.. "
