Asti refuses Tomi's invitation to eat together, arguing that her house is near. But Tomi the unyielding man answered his rejection.
“Yes, Bu Asti is not too far away to his house, am I Mom? It's still far hehe..” Tomi smiled glancing for a moment.
“Like Mom, I'm hungry too.”
Asti opened his mouth intending to refute again. But seeing that Tomi immediately precedes him.
“Mother likes grilled fish Makassar?” tanyakanya. “Near here there is a good one.
It feels legit and savory!”
Hearing Tomo's words, Asti's stomach rebelled again. His kukuruyuk sound like a crowing chicken was also heard to Tomi's ears.
This time, Asti could not bear to hide her laughter. With Tomi laughing, the girl finally laughed.
“Nah let me take Mom to lunch this time. There have been many services of Asti for me and I have never had the opportunity to show my gratitude.
So even if it's just a simple lunch, please Mom see that as part of my gratitude!” tomi said after seeing Asti's laughter.
Throughout his journey with Asti, he almost never saw Asti laugh. He knew very well, the girl was deliberately not to show her warmth and familiarity to her students.
Apparently, he often experienced a bad experience because of the youthfulness of his age supported by his childish face. As told by his friend Bayu.

Flashbacks
“Crazy Mas,” said his friend.
“The pretty girl I teased yesterday turned out to be a philosophy lecturer.”
tomi.
At that time Tomi laughed amusedly, recalling her experience meeting Asti for the first time. But it was not told to Bayu. Bayu did not take philosophy courses.

Indeed Asti looked so young, much younger than his age. Tomi believes and even bet that the girl was forced to show a serious mature and stylish attitude for the sake of her image as a lecturer.
Something that can be understood by him. But will the girl not be tired of it? Isn't that the same as wearing a mask that doesn't belong to him?
Tomi's mind is not far from reality. When Asti laughed, he felt himself released from a burden he had to bear. Suddenly, she was happy to laugh with Tomi.
Because it turns out that guy was a fun guy.
But of course Asti did not want to show that.
So even though the two of them ended up eating together, he still took a distance even though the conversation did not revolve around studies.
It's just that neither Asti nor Tomi dared to talk about personal matters. But only about general things.
Regarding politics, about actual things in society and the world. But it is precisely because of this that Asti begins to know the other side of Tomi.
And he was kind of surprised actually. For it is not presumed that the man had extensive general knowledge.
Not surprising, actually. For Asti considered the man to have no privilege in his knowledge.
Because even though he was thirty years old, the man was still a student.
Or students who are somewhat backward in their capture. It is therefore not surprising that Asti was surprised to learn that Tomi was not only not as she thought, but even contrary to her original description.
The fruits of his mind are noteworthy.
All afternoon when Asti was in his house, his mind was not free from what he had just known from Tomi.
So absorbed in his mind that he finally realized that it was not something that usually happened. As a result he also began to realize that deep down he actually had a special feeling towards the man.
Even the seeds of that feeling had begun to appear when he first met the handsome student. Even though he was angry, craped and his emotions stirred, his little heart felt a strange tremble when Tomi's eyes looked at him at that time so insolent.
Because behind the lack of his views, Asti can clearly capture the admiration that smeared both eyes.
Asti was feeling uneasy realizing such a state. All this time he had experienced the burden of feeling every facing Tomi, whether in the lecture room or not outside.
The calmness and freedom of his heart were disturbed. But compared to his present situation where he began to realize that the man had a special place in his heart, his anxiety was as long as it was nothing.
But the feeling of Asti began to stir, the ratio is still stuck working well. And it is precisely because of that ratio that until now he has not found a man who can seize all himself, body and soul, to build a household with him.
Every young man wants to have a special relationship with him or every self feels attracted to someone, always the ratio appears to speak.
And there are always different types of considerations about good and bad or profit and loss. Then what is true is his freedom not to be colonized by love, not enslaved by irrational feelings due to drunkenness.
And now though his mind is in such a mess, but the ratio is still able to give memory to him so as not to let himself fall in love with Tomi.
His idealism has resurfaced. He will only allow himself to fall in love if the man is a man who has a sense of responsibility, a steady personality, fighting, dynamic and faces this life as a human being should have dignity.
And Tomi? He was a man who for so many years had wasted his youth by becoming an immortal student.
And by its own meruknya take all the facilities and facilities provided by his parents.
There seems to be no thought of self-study and trying to achieve something so that he does not depend on his parents no matter how rich his father.
In fact, for thirty more years he lived completely from his parents. Not from himself.
In short, Tomi is not his dream man.
Especially at this time the man placed a position as his student. So if he let that special feeling develop and develop, it will inevitably lead him to disappointment after disappointment.
Can a guy like Tomi be relied on? Can such a man be the head of a household full of responsibility? And could such a man have advanced minds and allow him to continue his studies to a further level?
as already, the Asti ratio that time also won. Therefore, despite his difficulties, he managed to shake Tomi out of his mind when the new day began to break.
Indeed, the pain of the feeling that is taken from the sweetness and warmth that was once denounced was a separate suffering in Asti.
It's not easy to always be graceful and distance yourself from Tomi.
Because he knew that what he managed to display both through body language and oral language, it was all mere masks.
Unfortunately, the situation also does not help Asti to still win the ratio. Because lately Tomi more and more often ask for attention and time in relation to the work to be done by the man.
And even more unfortunate, Mr. Eko how many times have he been spotted together with Tomi.
Really, Asti felt her head hurt a lot thinking about it all. Because he was completely powerless to avoid it.
The power of love that began to disturb their hearts each began to realize, including Asti who is currently still struggling with his own feelings.
This kind of love and feeling has not been obtained and felt for a long time, the heart and spirit are increasingly turbulent.
