Dirman only responded to a short Whatsapp message from his beloved wife with an emoticon, a smile. However, his wife, Lusi, replied only with the same emoticon.
Dirman focused on driving, even though the beautiful woman sitting beside him was still fast asleep. Dirman had no intention to wake the beautiful woman, Rini until Dirman drove up to her house.
A forbidden act that felt enjoyable at first, but stifling afterwards. For some reason, only this second, Dirman felt sorry for having done "that" with Rini, his assistant. Rini, who was once his student for bachelor's degree, then it was also Rini who lost her honour to Dirman in a single despicable act.
"I'm sorry, Rin," Dirman said in his heart.
With a fairly frantic mind, Dirman tried to continue to focus on driving.
"I will take the responsibility perhaps you get pregnant, Rini. You don't need to be afraid," Dirman thought.
Ten minutes passed, at 22.30 Western Indonesia Time. Dirman arri
By half-past 12 that night, Dirman was lying on his bed. He was very tired after spent almost all day focusing on determining the chair for the Rector's election committee. Not to mention, the forbidden deeds he had done with Rini. Strangely, even though Dirman enjoyed the sinful act, his little heart still wondered why he could sin."How could I ever be tempted by Rini?" he said slowly.Moreover, Dirman's regret was slightly visible when he sees photos of his marriage with his wife, Lusi."If my wife finds out what I did earlier, it's an end game," Dirman thought. Not only regret but even Dirman was worried that Rini was pregnant."If Rini gets pregnant, what will happen to my career?" Dirman said, scratching his head.In his constant anxiety, his wife, Lusi, called him."Hello, dear. What’s up?" Dirman asked."Hello, dear. How come you haven't slept yet? I just wanna make sure that you are fine and that you have arrived home,"
"Of course, I want to die as a warrior for justice," Eddy replied, firmly. "So am I, Eddy. You think after we found out how wicked are Professor Mirza and his gang, we will just shut up?” Frans said, again. "No, Frans. We can start reporting the depravity of Siupala University under Professor Mirza’s command. Even though our editor-in-chief doesn't agree," Eddy said, sipping coffee in front of him. "Well, Eddy, truth and justice must continue to be fought for," Frans said. While he was sipping milk coffee, an incoming call on Frans's cellphone rang. On the cellphone screen, Frans shifted the icon with a green phone right, it was from an unknown number or a private number. Eddy asked Frans to answer the call. "Hello. Good night. Who is this?" Frans asked. Someone who became Frans' interlocutor, by his voice, was like a middle-aged man. Frans also started to worry when th
"Sorry, who are you? Stop trying to intimidate reporters!” Frans said. "haha. You are stupid! You are just too idealistic,” the other person reproached as he was chatting with Frans on the phone. "What do you mean? Are you afraid to reveal your identity? Coward!" said Frans. The other person continued to laugh while cursing about the Media Campus News. He took Frans and Eddy's defence as nothing. Until the end of the call, the other person did not want to answer Frans' questions. On the other hand, the other person increasingly threatened Frans with physical threats. “If you, Frans, or anyone else in the Media Campus News dares to start the war, be careful! Your every move is monitored," the other person said, his demeanour was chilling. Frans still insisted on defending his argument that he was determined to uncover all evil conspiracies at Siupala University. Starting from th
"Yes, I have a family. What do you wanna do to my family? If you dare to hurt my family, I will kill you!” Frans said. Frans didn't care anymore about the threat of that middle-aged man who was talking to him on the phone. When he brought up his family, Frans was willing to defend the honour of his family, even though his life had to be at stake. However, Frans was in doubt, could he fight those who could stalk and kill him at any time? Frans might defend himself with bold arguments, but it was not enough to make the man withdraw his words or be afraid of Frans' courage. “Hey, idealistic young man, I don't care how much you try to protect your family. But I remind you once again, don't try to light a fire even with one match. If you dare to play with us with fire, you will know the consequences!” The phone was disconnected after that because the other person hung it up. Frans, who was filled with annoyance and anger, shouted, cursed as he could. "Hold
Frans still didn't respond to Eddy's words. Frans just took a sip of the drink in front of him which was still half a glass. Eddy also understood Frans' feelings. It was not easy to face such thick walls of criminal gangs. "Sorry, sir. This is the bill. You can pay at the cashier later." Tesa said, the waiter at the cafe "Oh, sure, ma'am. Thank you. By the way, is the cafe about to close?" Eddy said. "No, sir. We will close at 2 am. It's still 12 midnight." Tesa said. "Okay, Ma'am," Eddy said. "If want anything else, you can see me at the cashier." "Sure." "Enjoy, sir," Tesa said, then left Frans and Eddy. The conversation between Frans and Eddy continued. Eddy still tried to motivate Frans not to be weak and discouraged. "Frans, listen to my words. If you don't expose the crimes they have committed, later in the afterlife, you will still be held accountable for everything you do in this world." Frans be
"Why don't you try to ask for his number, Tesa?" Meisi exclaimed. "Sure, Meisi. I guess so." "Perhaps you can get to know the man you mean well. If you make new friends, you can add new insights, right?" Tesa nodded again as a sign of agreement and agreed to Meisi's suggestion. More than just a student, Tesa was a freshman at Siupala University, to be more precise, majoring in Indonesian Language Education. Tesa, although still a freshman, had dared to be active in a student organization "Persma Siupala". Presma Siupala was very critical in observing campus policies, especially during the leadership of Professor Mirza as rector as he was by the time. Meanwhile, her co-worker, Meisi, chose to work after graduating from high school. Moreover, Meisi failed in the 2015 university admission. "Meisi, don't you want to apply for college?" Tesa asked. "I want to, but I need to save money first. You know, college fees aren't that cheap fo
"Yeah, there exist such kind of flirtatious lecturer, Mei." Tesa said softly "Seriously, Tesa?" Meisi asked, in surprise and disbelieving. "Exactly, Mei. Recently at my campus, there was a student named Sofia. He became a victim of sexual violence during his thesis guidance by his supervisor." Tessa said. "I thought there was no such incident on campus, it turns out that there are lecturers like that," Meisi said. "In my opinion, wherever we are, there are still people who have evil intentions, Mei." "Yes, Tessa. We have to be vigilant, by the way, where did Sofia experience that?" "If I'm not mistaken, it was the supervisor's room." "What an insolent person. Tesa, has the police arrested the perpetrator?" "Until now the perpetrators are still free. Still teaching on campus. The victim had reported the case to the rectorate and the police. However, they said there was not enough evidence to arrest the perpetrator. Yet,
Tesa and Meisi, who were focused on chatting, were surprised by Frans who was standing in front of them. Frans was holding a bill with fifty thousand rupiahs written on it. It didn't take long for Tesa to operate the counting machine at the cashier. “One coffee latte, and one milk coffee. Anything else, Sir?" "That’s all. It was just a drink with no snacks." " Okay. It is twenty-five thousand, Sir.” "Here, please," Frans said, while handing the money he was holding to Tesa “Here’s your change, twenty-five thousand. Thank you for coming, Sir.” Tesa said "You're welcome. The drinks are good.” Fran praised When Frans was about to leave the cashier, Tesa called Frans again. "Excuse me, Sir." Tessa said. "Yeah, what's wrong?" Frans responded as he turned to face Tesa. "May I know your name?" Tesa said approaching Frans, while holding out her hand. Frans didn't mind getting to know Tesa either. On the other si
