Stone Miners
Eps. 14 Responsibility
The time is almost 10:00. The senior and junior still looked cool chatting together. Although Tia's class mates had already arrived a lot, but none of them dared to approach her because of the existence of the long-haired senior. Well, yeah, Ariyana Wicaksono senior who began to be active as an assistant lecturer in physical courses since she was in the 3rd semester made her name widely discussed not only among juniors but also seniors and often involved projects with alumni. "The Intelligent Mouthed Spicy" that's the rumor that's circulating about him.
The length of time Tia conversed with the gondrong senior made her forget about her lost book even with someone still locked inside the laboratory.
"Ddrrtt." Tia's phone is vibrating.
Spontaneous his eyes bulged as he read the message he had just entered
"*Ti*can't you open the door 15 minutes sooner?"
"Dead!! that snot boy is still in the lab. The head of the lab will be here soon." Tia bit her thumb, racking her brain looking for a way to part with the senior who was before her at the moment.
"So I want to come in, soon I have class" Tia said politely
"Just relax, there's 10 minutes left. I will be the one to replace Pras. Today he has activities in the ballroom center," replied Ari
"But I'm gonna pee first, brother." Tia gave an inspired excuse from Faiz's previous message.
"Hold there for another 7 minutes" Ari replied as she wished
"Aaaaaa Brother Ari don't prank me like this." Tia stood up and acted like a kebelet
"Bas junior kundang, go." The gondrong really laughed
"Thank you so much for your knowledge, sis, excuse me." Tia bowed her body and walked quickly away from Ari.
While walking Tia took a deep breath, mentally preparing before facing the man she considered to be the bully.
"Kriiieett." the sound of the glass door opened. Tia approached Faiz who was already standing with his body half-leaning on the table
"Eh? what facial expression is that? why is it inversely proportional to what I expected, "inner Tia.
He sniffed his nose while turning his eyes to Faiz's pants like he was making sure of something.
"What did you expect? you think I'm gonna pee in my pants?" faiz said then flicked Tia's head with a small object she read earlier.
Spontaneous Tia holds her head even though it doesn't hurt. The look of a disappointed face is clearly drawn and cannot be hidden.
"Eh that thing?" Tia looked up at the thing in Faiz's grasp
"This is your book." Faiz handed a book to Tia
"Let's go!" Tia. He quickly snatched the book but his hand movements lost quickly to Faiz.
"Take care if you want your book back." Faiz raised his hand which held the book.
"Give me my book! Why do you always take people's property without permission?" ketus Tia's. No, the thing he wanted to ask was "have you read the contents?"
Tia spurred her brain to think harder to the maximum point. He had to find another way because jumping alone would not make him able to reach the hands of men who were above that average height. No, not Faiz who was above average but Tia who was below average.
Finally, Tia got on the table. Now it's higher than Faiz, he should have been able to take the object freely but it turned out to be a bit of a child-like scramble action until Tia accidentally kicked some erynmeyer pumpkin tubes that he used this morning but had not had time returned to its place. The object rolled until "praaanannkkkkk" fell to the floor and fragments scattered everywhere.
Both of them remained silent until the sound of the door reopening sounded. Tia flutter, she knows that the head of the lab is coming. Unable to think clearly, Tia immediately jumped down from the table but the fate of his body was overflowing Faiz who suddenly also moved from his position.
"Bruukk." Both fall
"Yes aampuuun..what the hell is this?" the head of the lab was shocked to see Faiz and Tia who were sitting on the floor in an unfounded position coupled with the broken shard that had been scattered.
"Ah, ma.ma.ma.sorry mom. We didn't sting" Tia immediately stood up with a sting on her slightly abrasive elbow. Not finished he spoke, the head of the laboratory immediately cut off his speech
"Immediately complete this mess and then face in my room" said the head of the laboratory
"Well ma'am," only Tia answered.
Faiz was still sitting on the floor "had fallen, hit by the stairs anyway". How not, Tia's heavy body directly hit him until he overcame the shards scattered on the floor.
"Pull what? he didn't even help me to stand up." Faiz sat down and stood up on his own.
"Heii clean your wounds before you clean the fragments" Faiz said, but Tia did not budge
"How he would pay attention to me, he doesn't even care about himself." Again the inner Faiz spoke.
"Ah, the base of the stone head," he said immediately pulled Tia to a place that felt safe from the broken tube erylenmeter.
"Sit here, don't move!" Declared
"What do you want?" tia asked curiously
"Just wait!" reply short and leave
"Why should I obey him?" Tia again grabbed the broom to continue her pending work.
Immediately, Faiz appeared with the medicine box from the next room
"Can you stop haunting me?" pinta Tia who is now sitting with the position that was earlier.
"Let me clean your wounds" replied Faiz who returned from the next room with a medicine box
"What the hell, it's just a small wound doesn't need aa.auu. guh," Tia complained loudly when a special antiseptic wound began to wet the scuffed part of her elbow.
"This is called coercion." Tia continued to babble but Faiz did not stop her activities at all. He continued to gently clean Tia's wounds while occasionally blowing blisters on Tia's elbow to reduce her pain.
"Ok is done" a feeling of relief was clearly reflected on his handsome face
"It's a waste of time" Tia moved out of place and went back to cleaning up the scattered fragments
"show? interested in what side? I've helped him but let's not help me even say thank you no"
Whether what other words were suitable to describe Faiz's facial expression at that time, his heart was already undefined. Finally he treated his own wounds, while Tia focused on clearing the broken shard without even glancing at Faiz.

"Just you have to replace the lab tools you've cracked, anyway" the head of the lab said after nagging for almost an hour
"Good ma'am" Faiz replied.
The two were more silent, no one denied or blamed each other. "Lecturer is the second god" if you make a lecturer's wrath, then be prepared your value will vary like a scale. So approximately the method that is being applied both.
After a hot ear from the free lecture spray from the head of the laboratory, Faiz and Tia were finally allowed to leave the room. A moment of breathing was relieved, but then restless came back. It's been an hour since they missed a course this morning.
"Where are you going?" faiz asked with a step that continued to follow Tia
"Class" Tia
"Are you sure you want to get into class?" faiz asked while looking at his watch.
"Where might we be allowed to enter by Mr Pras?" keep Faiz.
Tia just kept quiet and kept her feet up in front of the room in question. Faiz peeked at the condition of the room through the small glass on the door
"Hey are you serious? that's Ari's brother who is inside, will be more sad than Mr. Pras." again Faiz questioned the courage of Tia.
For a moment Tia fell silent and took a deep breath to gather the courage that had been shaken by Faiz.
"Excuse me sister" Tia hesitated, her voice sounding vibrating as the door of the room opened.
There was no answer, Ari just raised her eyebrows as if asking. "What do you need?"
"Can't I go to college?" tia asked with a clear face.
Ari looks at her watch and signals Tia to leave the classroom. Tia's still standing sculpting, inexhaustible how could the long-spirited man in front of him treat him like a person who does not know each other even though a few hours ago they look so familiar and warm.
Faiz who peeked out from behind the door immediately entered the room and pulled Tia's hand to leave the room. While Ari continued his activities as before.
The two also walked side by side to the gazebo in front of the department.
"This is the result when people are too stubborn" said Faiz who saw Tia with a sad face.
"I missed my course" Tia answered listlessly without looking at the face of the person before her
"Look easy. A one-time alpha won't make you an E." Faiz answered without a burden.
"It's not a matter of value, but of knowledge," Tia replied without passion.
"alright.. New students whose spirit is still exorbitant" said Faiz who was lazy to argue
"Now we better go find the lab tool that we solved earlier" he continued
"You go, it's your fault" Tia.
"Hey, it's still a good thing I want to help you. You should have been responsible yourself because you kicked the tube, "Faiz's counterattack.
"You're wrong, who took my book," Tia won't lose. He suddenly remembered his notebook
"Where's my book? give it back quickly, "he continued
"If you want the book, come with me to buy lab equipment." Faiz walked straight to the parking lot.
With a heavy heart Tia was forced to follow Faiz's wishes, her mouth tightly locked, no resistance, "the buffalo were shaken by her nose"
