THE RECYCLE LOVE
Chapter 27

Today has ended the final exam. Eca can answer the exam but there are five very complicated questions according to him. The fifth issue takes a lot of time to work on. Fortunately, Eca has already done the easier thing. He answered the fifth question. He wasn't sure of the answer but he vaguely seemed to know the answer. That half-assed confidence made Eca upset during the exam earlier.

The selection of PTN (Perguruan Tinggi Negeri) line of report card values was completed about three days ago. The name Eca is not included in the list of students passing the report card value based on the announcement from the Ministry of Education and Culture (Ministry of Education and Culture). Eca envied her contemporaries who studied hard during High School and prepared themselves carefully to enter college because the average among them through entering PTN the report card value path. They don't need any more tests to get into college.

While Eca had guessed that it would not pass. And sure enough, he did not pass the PTN entrance selection of the report card value line. During the 10th and 11th grades, Eca never really learned. Gratitude if the value is through KKM (Cumulative Minimum Completion) on the report. He used to be relaxed and courting with the love of heart. He also has no academic certificate. Even grades, let alone participate in academic competitions. He also does not have a certificate of activity or organization at school or outside of school. Eca is very mager following a series of activities and organizations. Only the value through KKM and the lover makes Eca eager to go to school, the rest he does not care anymore.

Now Eca deeply regretted the time she wasted in vain. Just try if he's been studying right since 10th grade. Suppose he is following school activities or organizations first. Definitely at least Eca has the possibility to win in PTN line of report card value. He doesn't need to study extra at the end until he's been sick. If only he won the PTN line of report card value he did not need to do a selection together to enter PTN. Which requires him to compete with students all over Indonesia. One course can be contested by 1,000 to 5,000 participants while those who are accepted on average are less than 300 and some are less than 100.

Eca made a strategy to enter PTN. He will choose a university that is quiet enthusiasts. But he also wants to enter the country's top university. But the competition in top universities is very much. While Eca also worried if job opportunities graduate ordinary universities are very rare. But usually university enthusiasts are usually quiet enthusiasts compared to top universities.

Currently, Eca is very upset to choose the university he will choose when the joint selection is held in four months. He needs someone who is able to get him out of his dumb-ass thinking now. While carrying a paper containing the names of majors and universities along with their shortcomings and advantages and not forgetting the number of enthusiasts last year, Eca walked towards Gian's class. He wanted to discuss this with the man. He believes Gian is able to give the best advice for him.

Eca is waiting next to Gian's class. He watched one by one the students who had come out of Gian's class. But there was no sign Gian would be out. Just as Eca loosened her head in front of the door was a figure standing blocking Eca's view.

"wrong?" ask the woman with a brush.

"there's Gian? I want to talk to him."

"he's busy again" said Rani about to close the door but Eca held him back.

"can you call him for a minute? I have something to talk to him about."

"he's busy!" rani replied looking at Eca with annoyance.

"only a minute. Try asking him first." said Eca while clenching both palms in front of the chest.

Rani rolled her eyes and said, "flare!". The woman entered again and closed the door tightly. Right in front of Eca's face.

"fucking shit! If it wasn't for me asking for help, I'd have pulled her hair!" dumel Eca's.

Not long after, Rani opened the door again. The sound of the door creaking open made Eca's gaze diverted to the woman who was standing in front of her. Staring at Eca with a slanted smile on the face.

"he won't be disturbed."

"have you told me I wanted to talk? Is this the Eca who wants to talk?"

"cz! Who are you until she has to meet you?"

"i-i."

"go there! He's busy again. Not to be disturbed!" rani exclaimed afterwards staring at Eca from bottom to top and snorting in annoyance.

Rani closes the door right in Eca's face once again. Eca clenched her hand and lifted into the air imagining punching Rani in the face that was so annoying earlier. He was upset not playing with Rani's very haughty way of talking. He is also upset with Gian who suddenly should not be disturbed.

"budget crazy woman! There is no brain! I want to mess up her hair!! Gian is arrogant too! Can't be disturbed!" dumel Eca all the way.

Not fully Eca passed the school fence, there was someone calling her from behind. Maybe it was someone he had been waiting for. Eca stopped and looked back. He saw the man looking down and bored after him.

"Ac . . ."

Turns out he was wrong. He was not the one who was waiting for Eca. Maybe Eca had too much hope this time. He stared at the man until he finished breathing and spoke to him.

"can we talk up ahead Ca?"

"why?"

"there's something I want to say. Just be brave. Want huh?"

"yeah."

They walked to the shop in front of the school. Beside the store there was a tree under which made a long bench of wood. The bench can be occupied by five adults of medium size. Eca sat on the bench, spacing Nehan.

"how are you doing, Ca?"

"if you just want to ask me that I'm leaving" said Eca standing up.

"wait a minute, please" Nehan said as he held onto Eca's arm.

"i-I need your help."

"what??"

"ha-just you're my last hope right now" Nehan said softly as he scratched his non-itchy head.

"yes, what?! Stop pleasantry!" exclaim Eca exasperated.

Nehan was silent for a moment. Think of the right sentences to say with Eca. He didn't want Eca to be angry anymore. She was a little foreign to Eca's indifferent attitude to her at the moment. Eca never banged him. Eca is the single most patient ex-Nehan so far.

"i-I want to borrow some Ca's money" Nehan said very slowly. Until only his voice was heard.

"what did you say?"

Nehan pulled her hair for a moment. Actually he can't say it. He was very embarrassed to have to deal with his ex for reasons of borrowing money. But what can be done, remains Eca hope. He worked with others but it didn't work.

"i'm gonna borrow your money"

"ha?? Make what?" tanya Eca raised her eyebrows high while looking at Nehan in disbelief.

"i need a Ca again. I owe some people the same but I can't pay. They've been looking for me for three days."

"why don't you ask your parents?"

It's nothing, but Eca knows that Nehan comes from an established family. What the man wants can be accomplished. His parents were very pampering Nehan. Even the man blatantly boasted of his rich father to Eca. But now he's borrowing money on Eca? Clearly, Eca did not believe it. He was afraid that this was just Nehan's prank.

"father I don't give any more money because I got caught selling my car."

"astaga! Why did you sell the car? Make what??"

"i used to play slots" replied Nehan weakly.

"what?!! I told you to stop playing Nehan slot!! What are you stupid?!"

Nehan raised his eyebrows. The meaning of the Eca sentence is like it contains another meaning. Did he respond wrongly?

"i mean, why are you playing slots?? That's gambling!" added Eca straightened out her words.

"yes how? It's already Ca."

Eca clucked in annoyance. It was very easy for Nehan to pronounce. Didn't know if the slot is a gambling that has been arranged by the programmer. He did not expect that Nehan still continued to play slots. He thought the man had stopped long ago.

"i thought you had stopped by then" said Eca slowly.

"i'm sorry Ca. Moreover, I'm being billed by loan sharks."

"render??!!" eca shouted while widening her eyes.

"that's why I borrowed your money Ca. Please help me Ca. I'm tired of running from that fucking loan shark."

"you are stupid."

"yes, I admit"

Eca began to weigh in, whether she lent money to Nehan or not. Honestly, he doubted. But he felt sorry to see Nehan who was desperate especially until being chased by loan sharks. This was not because they had been dating but he was humanly sorry for Nehan but he was also irritated by the man's nature.

"i only have 300 grand here. You use it first." while handing over the money he took from inside the wallet.

Nehan turned towards Eca and hugged her tightly. He was very relieved that at least Eca was willing to help him even though his nominal was very small than he expected. But he was grateful to be loaned. He would try to find another way to pay those loan sharks later.

Across the street, Gian witnesses the scene of Eca and Nehan's embrace from the car window. Gian's eyes dropped. He clenched his hands and threw a forward glance.

"the way sir" he told the driver.
