Promises From the Past
Rea Mavendra

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States...

331 Million people gather in the country, and nearly 7 million people live in Massachusetts. Although the area in Massachusetts is small only 27,336 square kilometers but it is a place for high-quality educational institutions in the United States.

Students who continue their studies abroad, especially in the Americas, certainly target some of the top universities, including Boston university, Harvard university, Stanford university, California institute of technology and many more.

But now the main goal is at Harvard University, of course, who does not know one of the best universities in the world and has issued many experts in various fields in the world of technology, business, and technology, literature, science, medicine, design, politics, economics and also art.

There are many intelligent people from different parts of the world come to this university to get higher education science and there are also humans who come only because of the demands of their families.

One of them is Rea Mavendra.

Indonesian woman who has lived in America for the last two years to continue her studies as a student at Harvard University.

Long straight black hair, exotic Asian women's natural face, flawless silky white skin and above-average intelligence in business studies.

Rea's footsteps brought him inside the gates of Harvard University. A gust of warm steam came out of his mouth.

Seeing people still traveling in thick jackets and coats on the city streets, even though this is already in the middle of February which means it will enter spring, but the cold air is still felt up to the skin.

Moreover, for people living in tropical climates such as Rea, winter is just as much as he goes into the minus tempratur freezer, therefore every day from December to the end of February. Rea only comes out when going shopping, meeting with lecturers or hangout with friends.

If there is nothing important, he prefers to stay in the dorm and enjoy heating to avoid Hemothermia.

Entering the campus, a blonde-haired woman waved at Rea and walked over while smiling to herself.

He is neither a foreigner nor a local American. His name is Fio Aqualina, a Tegal native who got a scholarship at Harvard University through achievement.

"Rea, I haven't seen you in months, what are you doing." Ask Fio.

"Frozen..." Short answer Rea.

"Are you still not used to winter here."

Looking lazy for Rea to reply to Fio's words...."I'm sorry, but I'm not a chameleon that can change the skin to suit its environment so easily."

"It's not... You should know, there were a lot of things you missed on Christmas Eve and the new year yesterday. Me and the other guys are having a party."

"What party do you mean ?\, s*ex\ party, sa*bu\ party, miracle party or something. I don't need that." Rea flatly rejected it.

Initially, before getting to know the world of free association of American teenagers. Fio Aqualina was just like most women who were so innocent and innocent when it came to putting themselves in a foreign place.

But it was less than half a year, or rather five months and seven days when he met one man at a student society. Gradually Fio began to follow the association brought by the man named Reynad.

Going home in the morning, black hair being blond, having more fun than attending class, or even more memorized brand of liquor than the names of chemical elements in the table in his major.

All because he was carried away by the deadly seduction of a handsome man who is famous playboy in campus. Until later he will realize, if the academic value is getting freefall, inevitably, Fio must return to Indonesia on the revocation of the scholarship he has.

"You are still stiff Rea, we are here to follow their association, otherwise we will be exiled."

Fio's a little pushy..."Come onl.... You know, there's a lot of people from Indonesia who are participating in the gathering, I'm sure you'll accept them as friends."

"If the friend you are saying is a group of people with reasons and purposes to take advantage of a condition to seek profit in a relationship without ever knowing what gratitude is. I feel that living alone is not bad, even you can save a lot of money than buying liquor."

For a moment Rea diverted her attention from Fio, either because she was interrupting her time or indeed the words Rea heard made her sick. But it's not that... Because Rea's gaze was fixed on a man who was now cleaning the floor of the hall.

"What do you see Rea...." Ask Fio.

Fio followed the direction of his gaze, where he also saw the man who was now being noticed by Rea.

"Askar Fazril's..." Fio said a name.

"Who ?."

"He." Show Fio towards the man.

"Why do you know."

"You're the only one who hasn't been to college for two months. He's the new cleaner on campus."

"Wait from the name..."

"As you may think, he is Indonesian." Answer Fio.

Rea's confused...."But why can he work in this place."

"Where do I know, I'm not part of HRD or anything like that to interview people who apply for jobs."

Fio noticed Rea's attitude when he noticed her way of seeing the man known as Soldier. As fellow women and know each other quite familiarly. Fio knew there was an interest in Rea getting to know Soldier.

"Why are you interested in cleaning service Rea?, aren't there a lot of rich college students or Hollywood celebrity kids who have asked you out."

"It's none of your business." Reply Rea did not care.

Fio smile..."Oh. Does this mean you love local produce more."

"It's none of your business either."

"Alright, well, but you should know Rea, every guy you've ever turned down would be sad, if you turned out to prefer cleaning services to them."

"From the beginning I didn't force them to like me, but they just kind of came closer and interrupted my time, so it's not me who's wrong to refuse." Rea's answer has shown that she is included as a woman who is difficult to approach.

Fio's head was confused...."I really don't know what you think Rea is, you left a quality item just for a useless item that doesn't know its origin."

Of course Rea could not assume that when he saw the man named Soldier it was a feeling of liking. Just an interest for him to know who the character of the Soldier.

And consciously, the look in the eyes of the man was pointing directly as if to reply to the stage of Rea who was looking at him.
