El rolled his eyes staring out the window. Time felt so slow that the man was bored with the exposure of lecturers in his class. While Mora, he was very careful to pay attention to the lecturer's exposure and occasionally noted important things in his binder.
Mora glanced at the man beside her.
"Did he not take notes at all?" his inner.
Mora refocused on her activities without thinking about the man beside her. El, too, is now very tired of being in class.
"Yourhhlft! when is this old lady's college hour over?!" his mind stared at the cynical Lady Laura who was still exposing the material.
"I'd better get out!" inner again.
Then El got out of his chair. The squeaking sound that appeared due to friction between the legs of the chair and the floor made Miss Laura stop her exposure and look at El.
"What's El?" ask Laura Ma.
"Excuse me to the toilet" said El coldly and stepped out after receiving Laura's approval.
Actually El will not really go to the toilet but to his favorite place on campus. Now it is in the park behind the campus. However, this time El did not sit under his favorite tree. He sat on one of the chairs in the corner of the park. El took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and then he picked up a cigarette and lit it. The man greatly enjoyed the smoke in his hand while closing his eyes. Mind wandered.
...****************...
The clock shows that today's lecture is over. Brayn rushed to tidy his book into the bag and was about to find the whereabouts of his sohib who had permission to go to the toilet but did not return. The man was relentlessly babbling and cursing his best friend who always acted. Brayn already knows how El is. Cold, cruel and hard. Whatever he wants to do, he will do even if it gets him into trouble.
"What's in his head! This morning we got an extra assignment from Ms. Devi and now we got a call from Ms. Laura! Oh my God, why do I have a bad boy friend like him?!"furious Brayn.
Mora who was still sitting in his chair while cleaning his bag accidentally heard Brayn's words. He got out of his chair and headed to Brayn's place.
"Hey! do you have any idea where that guy sitting next to me went?" ask Mora.
Brayn turned, "Oh, he's truant. Usually in the park behind the campus. That boy is so. You don't be surprised if he acts out. His name is El, the bad boy of college dreams." explains Brayn.
Mora nodded small.
"That's how's the bag?" mora said while pointing at El's bag still on the table.
Brayn followed Mora's index finger and clucked in annoyance.
"Haishhh... troubling!" he then picked up El's bag and rushed outside the classroom.
"Ehh, wait.." said Mora.
Brayn turned his body to face Mora. As if he could read Mora's expression that wanted to know his name, Brayn immediately made a sound.
"Brayn Remicco, you can call me Brayn" he said, smiling.
Mora nodded and replied with a smile.
"Yes, I'm first Ra." said Brayn then hurried away.
"Yes, be careful" Mora said.
Mora left the class shortly after Brayn left.
...****************...
"Yourfts..." El sighed, "Why has his face been constantly running through my mind lately? and again..why can it be similar to the new student?" muttered El.
Yes these past few days El always imagined the face of a girl he had met somewhere. Just a moment's encounter with the girl, yet somehow El kept his face. The look in her eyes was the same as Mora who was looking at her earlier. However, from Mora's expression it was as if he had never met El. Was Mora the same person he met?
El's mind now turned the events of that time.
*Flashback On*
At that time, it was almost nightfall. El is still sitting on his favorite lakeside bench. The greenish blue water brings a calm atmosphere.
El took a long breath.
"Damn!" shouted El.
It was fortunate that the place was quiet so no one listened to El's screams. El will always be there when his mood is very bad. The incident a few hours ago led him to the lake to calm down. After she got a little better, El decided to go home.
Just as he was about to leave from there, accidentally the two neutrals met with a pitch-brown netra with a gentle gaze belonging to a girl he did not recognize. Some time El was still staring at the brown netra as well as the girl. The girl smiled making El's heart rustle a little. Aware of his gaze, El cut off their eye meeting and immediately left from there.
*Flashback Off*
...****************...
"Woy El's! don't you want your bag anymore?" shouted Brayn who broke the reverie of El.
El was a little surprised, then he again neutralized his facial expression.
"Disturb my peace! don't you want your head in its place anymore?!" said El coldly.
"Eh, don't do that dong bro. if I don't anyone who's gonna be your friend ha?" Brayn.
"Gue doesn't need a friend." muttered El but was still heard by Brayn.
"Come El, don't be like that. I've considered you a family. Don't keep thinking you're just living alone" said Brayn, who sat next to El.
The atmosphere became silent for a moment.
"Until when do you keep doing this El?" ask Brayn.
"Come on," answered El coldly and he got up from his seat and grabbed his bag and walked away.
"Hey where are you going El?" shouted Brayn who was still sitting in his place.
El did not answer, he still continued to walk away from the park behind the campus.
"Always this way! I was kept the same boy. Haishh.. good luck buddy, if not already I throw it under the bridge near the corner of the Bu inem stall!" annoyed Brayn and then move on to catch up with El.
