LOVE THE COLLEGE TIGER
Mom papa's arrival

That grueling night really paid off with such a satisfying success. Even tired faces and lack of sleep are clearly depicted, not showing a million burdens at all. All smiles were satisfied as if the fatigue they felt was not worth the happiness after all was finished almost without flaws. Everyone congratulated each other, before they finally separated and returned to their respective places.

The next morning, as usual, Elzata's parents suddenly arrived. There is a longing from both parents, indeed. But for some reason, Elzata felt that something was different. Not usually Papa and his mother come without news and for no reason. Is it because Elzata hasn't been home for a long time? I don't know. Elzata tried to calm himself even though the curiosity had been so far he could not cover.

After a short stale conversation with the housekeeper and a few breaks in Elzata's room, Elzata's parents finally opened the conversation. Recalling her Papa was never that serious when speaking to her, Elzata began to listen with a heart that inexplicably suddenly thumped.

"Honey, last night, sir passed Papa's phone after filling up your show. He is very proud to see you able to balance what he delivered to hundreds of students who came and enjoyed it until the end of the event. So proud of you, he said to his father that he had a child, a young legislator in senayan who wants to be betrothed to you"

Seeing the face of Elzata who was half shocked but did not chimed in his Papa's words at all, Papa finally continued.

"The minister was papa's friend in college. Out of nowhere, when he found out that the moderator of last night's show was Papa's daughter, he immediately called and asked you to accompany his son. He is the youngest legislator in Senayan. His political career is good. It fits you perfectly, and I'm sure he'll be very supportive of your obsession"

"Mr....",

"Please consider, honey. Papa doesn't feel good to the minister if he has to refuse"

There were hopeful letters that were clearly drawn on the faces of the two sepuh figures in front of Elzata. And without feeling it, just like that the clear crystals were flowing profusely from the end of his eyes. There was no word to refuse, no word to agree from Elzata's mouth.

As she could understand what her daughter was feeling, Mama patted Elzata on the shoulder as if she wanted to transfer some incredible energy.

"We give Zata time pap. Let him think"

Eventually his parents left Elzata with a troubled feeling.

For hours Elzata was pecking in his room, trying to digest all the complicated things that were suddenly present in his life. On the one hand, he wants to fulfill the requests of his parents, on the other hand, he has his own love song which although complicated but has been able to fill his days meaningfully.

Yes, in his heart was already engraved the name of an Ega, who despite still having to fight to stay together, but the carving of the name in his heart was already as difficult to be eliminated.

If he accepts his Papa's request, of course all his obsession will end smoothly because it leaves no problems with either his parents or with KAPN rules. Because KAPN only arranges not to date, not not to marry. And what kind of marriage process and with whom, it becomes a point of assessment whether the commitment can be maintained or not. So if Elzata finally marries the daughter of the minister, a figure he does not recognize at all, he will escape the negative assessment of KAPN and can continue to fight to achieve his obsession easily.

Meanwhile, if he defends Ega, he will get a value as a member of KAPN who violates the rules that are seen as very embarrassing.

While in a separate place, Ega who was still so fascinated by Elzata's appearance at the seminar last night was unable to stem the longing that suddenly defeated everything he thought. His eyes and head were completely filled with Elzata's swirling face with the entire facial expression he had imagined. Because it can not stand, the voice call immediately Ega launched.

"Yes, Ga"

The hoarse voice across felt trembling, like the sound of people crying. Without a second thought, Ega decided on her call and replaced it with a video call.

"Za, what's wrong with you? Please pick up my vidcall", Ega sent a message

Elzata convinces Ega to contact him through WA chatt alone, but it makes Ega more suspicious.

"Do you take my vidcall, or do I go to you?"

Because Elzata knew that Ega's choice was not playing games, then by forced video call Ega who entered immediately he received.

So shocked Ega, found her face across there so swollen. Ega was really worried to see that face that looked so pitiful and full of burden.

"Why you baby, is there a problem? You don't want to share with me?", Ega said very softly, as if to show that she cares

Elzata just shook his head while wiping the circle of tears that had flowed uncontrollably. The more I asked, Elzata was crying.

"Why? I don't mean anything to you?"

Because Elzata was still speechless, Ega let him go for a while while paying attention to his girl who was still having a hard time talking because of such a whim. This was the second time Ega saw the powerful figure of the campus tiger crying. And for some reason, this time his heart was completely sliced apart.

"Ga.", uh...",

"Dear, share your sorrow with me"

"My father's coming. Last night he was on the phone, minister. He wanted his son to marry me", finally the sentence came out of Elzata's mouth that was still as he pleased. He did not realize that Ega's facial expression had changed.

"the young legislator?", Ega asked in an angry tone either because of his disbelief in competing with the legislator or because of jealousy.

Elzata nodded.

"If you really love me, why are you crying? You should know, what answer should you give your father? If you cry like this, you worry. Or do you really want to consider accepting the offer? Okay. I'm sincere Elzata. I'll let you be happy with him. He is more everything than me. And he's perfectly compatible with an obsession girl like you. I'm not papa Za, really no papa if you really prefer him", Ega's cerocos full of emotions, without noticing the disappointed murat of the girl across there who can not be hidden anymore.

"Get,," half-calling Elzata stopped the painful sentence that had come out of the mouth of the man he loved. "That's not the words I hope to get out of your selfish mouth. You really can't understand me. Jahaattttt", Elzata immediately ended their conversation with anger.

That day Elzata really cried.

While Ega, just silently silent to know what was thought in his mind. Can they survive?
