Promises From the Past
Mountaineer

Almost the same as Indonesia, in downtown Boston is always crowded with all vehicles that pass by to traffic jams. But it's just for the hours of leaving and returning to the office, the rest is crowded smoothly.

When compared with Indonesia, which does not care when, whether it is morning, afternoon, evening until night, congestion is like a tradition on the streets. Even when thinking that without jammed Jakarta is not exciting, it is true.

But in this city of Boston, it is impossible to find angkot drivers clamoring for passengers or hawkers peddling cold drinks. Everything is different, obviously,

After Rea went out for shopping, she returned to the dormitory located within the campus area. Of course there is a reason why Rea's parents put him in a dorm rather than buying his own apartment.

Not that the Mavendra family was short of money, even if they wanted to, to buy a mansion in the residential area of Atherton California, it was still very cheap. Moreover, they already have two and are rarely used.

It's just that, regarding Rea's safety and security, staying in a dormitory is the right choice. Because the Harvard University really guarantees all their students to avoid problems.

Rea had already prepared the key to open the door of his room, but when he realized that the door was not locked and it was true, if it was in there, there was already one woman who became his roommate.

A short black haired woman who settles down on the bed wearing only underwear.

"Oh, Rea you're home." Said relaxed.

A faint smile curved across Rea's face...."Anna, you didn't tell me you were coming today."

"Well, did I forget to send you a message."

"You've always been like that, gone without saying goodbye and just came home. So how's your vacation."

"That's bad, really bad." Anna complained a little annoyed from her tone.

"What happened."

Anna got up from her bed, standing up revealing a body of laced underwear that was quite wild with a face of emotion.

"I don't know if she already had a boyfriend, when we were both at the hotel, who would have thought that her boyfriend had come and messed things up."

Rea's breath was blown away because she used to hear her friend complain about men...."You can't judge a man Anna, you should realize that if a man is a kind of Endru, he's just playing you."

"While I've liked him for a long time."

"As far as you're concerned, as long as you're happy, I don't care."

Annastasia, Rea's roommate whom she had known since the beginning of university, did have a close relationship. Unlike Fio, whom Rea knew because he was the brother of the water demon. Anna is a local American living in San Francisco.

That was why he could survive in the cold air without heating the room even using only gray laced underwear. Their skin was completely used to enjoying the air below 10° Celsius.

On the other hand, even though Anna's appearance is quite fulgar and always uses minimalist clothes. Rea could assume that he was someone he knew as a friend.

"Rea will you spare tonight." Anna asked who seemed to have a plea.

"Why indeed ?."

"Can you come with me for the meeting."

"No, I'd rather be here and I don't have time for your show." Rea answered without needing to think about anything else.

"Come on, you're too busy studying, it's not good in your life."

"I know what's best for myself. Just because I don't have a boyfriend doesn't mean I'm gonna die." The answer.

For a moment Rea was silent, yes it was as he had thought all along. His 16 years of life, were only used to study and complete schoolwork. While Rea is not good at socializing with fellow humans.

Especially when he remembered the previous incident, where the meeting with a man named Soldier made Rea confused because he was not used to talking to the opposite sex.

Rea just thought, if he had to change, get used to getting to know the opposite sex even if it wasn't intimately.

"All right, I'll keep you company."

"really ?."

Rea answered with a nod of his head.

"Thank you... You're my friend Rea." Anna hugged Rea familiarly.

"But aren't you bored, all the guys who are your girlfriends always end up because they have other women."

"Yes I just haven't met the right guy, so it's not wrong to keep looking until I find him."

Campus dormitories do have a pretty strict curfew rule, but there are ways to overcome that, where they have to get out before 8 pm and sleep outside if it is past 10.

Rea is not too worried if he does not return past the curfew, because the Mavendra family has one house in Cambridge, just a few minutes away from campus, so Rea could book a taxi to take her there.

Nightfall.....

Anna laughed at Rea's appearance now. Where the whole body is tightly covered by jackets, jeans, gloves, scarves, shoes and also hats. It does not indicate that Rea is a fashionable woman.

"What makes you laugh so happily Anna ?." Upset Rea saw Anna's laughter was so satisfied.

"You look more like an Everest climber than a woman who's about to meet a man, Rea." It can't be denied anymore.

"I don't know any good clothes to wear."

"Take off your jacket, and change your shirt." Anna's orders.

Rea obeyed Anna, and Anna took another slightly open garment, but it did not show her navel.

"Do you want to kill me, the night air is so cold, at least let me wear a jacket."

"alright, fine... Though you look really sexy Rea, I'm sure a lot of guys want to get you."

"If it's the same as selling a body, I won't give it free to a self-informed man." Rea's reply was fierce.

Nightlife for teenagers has become commonplace, they all live to express themselves through the circle of promiscuity.

Seeing people kissing on the side of the road is natural, in contrast to Indonesia which is still concerned with public comfort for singles to avoid being mentally disturbed.

But walking outside in Anna's chosen outfit, the breeze passed through the open slit and the juba stared at by each sang*ean man on the side of the road looked at the two of them so seriously.

While right next to Rea, Anna looked so relaxed, even occasionally showing seductive smiles to the men.

Still, Rea felt uncomfortable to look like a cheap woman was showing off her body.
