THE EFFECT: THE SERIES

The Effect The Series Chapter 1: Collision with the tie lender

My name is Mr. Shin Thorn. I am currently studying in the 1st year of the Faculty of Management, since I started studying here it has already passed half a year. I only have one friend that can be regarded as a "Close" friend.

Other people who see me when I walk they will smile, say hello or wave at me as just like person who has been together to study and meet in different periods or a person in the group doing a report. Most of these people greet me when walking on campus, but I would never sit down to eat or join a conversation with them.

If you ask if I'm lonely? i would say probably, because sometimes seeing that many people make appointments to hang out in groups I would feel sad, but I have already prepared in my heart that my university life must come out in this way. Because it's not like that during high school, I had many friend.

But I personally cannot blame anyone because since stepping in to be a student at this university, when the faculty or the university has any activities, I have never participated in anything. As well as being a person who rarely speaks well in front of people.

"How could it have disappeared? Hey, will I get there in time?"

Loneliness is not a big issue for me. But the only disadvantage that I don't have many friends like other people is probably more about finding a helping hand. Like today the day that I needed the most help. Without friends or acquaintances, I was not able to ask for help from anyone.

Crash "Oi"

And my troubles today will not end easily because aside from the things that I needed to get into the roomt in itme had disappear and I may miss this exam, I was still not fortunate by crashing in front of someone who didn't know what was happening while I rushing to find that thing.

What was missing was my necktie that I took off the morning when I walked off the group discussion, I was called by a senior to help lift things. So I had to remove it for convenience in helping carrying things.

And then I had to hurry this much because one of the faculty's iron rules is you have to dress up properly, otherwise you will not go to the exam room or if you see a kind teacher, you will be allowed to take the exam, but it will be put on the top of the paper saying that marks must be cut off, at least in digits, 10 digits.

I thought at that time I had stuffed it into my pants pocket. But when I had to walk into the exam room, when I grabbed the bag, it was not in the same place that I had kept. Plus, i just realize it when it was almost time to enter the exam room.

As soon as I realized it, I decided to go and rush to the store in front of the university to buy it. And because of the devotion that I ran, it made me crash into one person who almost fell down. If not, the person I crashed into helped me pulling my arm and steadying me.

"I'm sorry"

"What are you in a hurry?"

"I, I"

I almost couldn't say my own words. When I looked up I found that the person I had bumped into was taller. Isn't he the famous P'Keng of our university?

Although I know the name and we are in the same faculty, I have never saw P'Keng in this short distance before. Being so close and standing near, I already know why he is the girl's favorite. On campus Because of the facial features that are distorted by the pain when I ran into him but P'Keng can still look good.

"Where are you going to hurry? Do you know that if I couldn't keep up with both me and you and we will have both fall off the stairs?”

"I'm sorry. I lost my necktie so I have to rush to buy it. I won't be able to take the exam.”

"A test quiz?"

"Yes"

"What time?"

"10o'clock.”

"You won't be able to catch it, you."

P'Keng lifted his wrist to look at the watch and then showed it to my face before saying what made me feel like the world would collapse right in front of me.

Yes, there's only 5 minutes left. And with that much time, I don't think I have the ability to run in front of the university and run back up on the exam room on the 4th floor and also at the last building of the university. Even with a motorcycle, I think I still wouldn't get back in time.

"Whatever  ... I'm sorry, I have to go."

When the first path is unlikely I hurriedly turned myself back to the front of the examination room to talk to the teacher in order to try again and see if the teacher can help and allow me to take the exam and I agreed to have my marks deducted.

"Wait... you."

"Yes?"

"Ah, I will lend you mine first, and then on the day we meet, you can return it to me."

P'Keng handed me his necktie. This is the first time in my life that I have received help without asking for it. And because I was just stunned by the kindness of this senior brother, I didn't reach out my hand until P'Keng sighed and put it into my hand.

"Thank you."

"Hurry and go, and your name is ...?"

"I'm Shin"

"Yes, Shin"

"Thanks."

If I didn't get P'Keng's necktie help, I would be in a bad situation a very bad one. Because this teacher was not so kind and easy to ask for help, as it can be seen from a fellow student who walked behind me and he forgot to pin the tie with the university made pin. The teacher still chased him to buy one by giving him only 10 minutes. If he does not return in time, then he cannot enter the examination room.

When I saw that, I gripped P'Keng's necktie more tightly. I don't know if Keng's necktie is on me or not, can it help me to do all the exams?

"Hopefully, this sub-score test will not be difficult."

I want to answer to the teacher that it was freaking difficult. Regarding the answers on the test paper, I'm not sure but about the answers I have put in the sheet. The answer is that P'Keng's necktie didn't help anything other than helping me get into the exam room.

My condition when walking out of the exam room is not different from others. Everyone walked out as if they had just had all the energy sucked from their bodies. Although it is just a test that has a score of just 10 points, but 10 points are quite much for us.

I walked out of the exam room but I didn't go straight back to go to rest. I kept walking around the bottom of the building hoping that I would have the opportunity to meet P'Keng and give him necktie back. Afraid that he had a reason to use his own necktie.

I'm pretty sure that he studied this building because I collided with him on the second floor of the building. If he didn't come to class in this building, why would he walk to the back building of the university? But no matter how I tried to walk around, I didn't even see P'Keng's shadow.

"Take it back and wash it before you give it back."

Because my body is too tired to find P'Keng to give him back his own tie, so I decided to take his necktie back to the dormitory too. No matter what, he doesn't graduate tomorrow. I will just have to bring it back the other day, probably not later, I was praying that he won't have an exam for the subjects that tie must be worn during this period, or there will be many more necktie problems.

Although I did the test today and still fail to return the item to the owner. At least today I have already learned that P'Keng is "Angel Messenger" as many people actually say

After that day, it was a week later that I had to carry the problematic necktie every day. The reason is because I don't know P'Keng's class schedule. And I don't know where to take it back? That meant I was always carrying for him, in case it could be returned to the owner if I accidentally walked and bump to him.

"You should go to see the sales booths of our faculty? Right now, P'Keng is going to be a sales person.”

"Go, go, go, go, and go. We have to go."

I forgot that this is the week that each faculty will produce the products to sell inorder to collect funds for students to go to the volunteer camp to help the children in the provinces.

This year, the students in the project set up a project to repair the school, so they need more budget than last year. And of course, the things that are made out of sale are not something that are worth using. Anybody walking through must buy or stop watching. Therefore, each faculty will have hot guys and beautiful women to cheer for the products to sell.

If I didn't hear girls' voices the next seat, I probably would have completely forgotten about this. No wonder why I haven't seen P'Keng in the school building recently. I guess he is probably busy with the work of his faculty.

"Pramote will you go to the kiosks with me?"

"Do you want a souvenir?"

"No, I want to take things back to their owners."

When hearing girls saying that, I was eating at a large cafeteria with "Pramote" or "Glasses Boy" nickname at others. This was a demeaning name for Pramote. Pramote didn't really like that name. And Pramote would frown every time someone calls him by this name, but he never tells anyone to stop calling or saying that he doesn't like it.

I used to ask Pramote that "Why don't you tell other people that you don't like this name?"

Pramote just shrugged off my shoulder and answered the question by asking me: "And if I said that I didn't like this name, you said that other people will you stop calling me Glasses Boy?”

 Pramote is an all year silent boy. He is someone who does not care about anything around him mean, if that wasn't directly related to him he wouldn't do anything about it, but Pramote became my only close friend in the faculty.

Didn't know how we started getting to know each other and where our closeness began, but maybe because both of us are not equally like each other as well. Come to know again, we try to study the same subject the report group will choose to be in the same group and many times we both will secretly feel deeply happy if it that happens, the teacher can ask us to work only 2 people per 1 group.

"Let's go."

When I heard the sentence I felt glad that he will not let me walk to the kiosks alone, I wasn't so brave because I shivered at the imagination the people who have to stand there and addressing me with their looks and I will walk to stop in front of the arch and give to my brother. Just thinking that I have eyes on my legs, my legs are shaking. So I invited Pramote to walk with me to the booth together to get the necktie to return to his elder brother to finish the story.

 "Can you walk in there alone? So many people.”

"Don't leave me, Mote. Walk with me my friend.”

"Hmm, ok."

And as expected Arrived in front of the full of people So, Pramote and I just had to stare around that area, wait a moment for the chance and then walk to P'Keng.

But this has been around for 20 minutes, and it doesn't seem that the people standing in line at the kiosks will be less. We have to go to study in the afternoon, so waiting for all day would be impossible. So I decided to go walking to the back of the arch, walk, stop, and go to deposit things with someone and walk out quietly.

"Nong, if you want to buy items, go to the front row."

As soon as I walked to the back and stood near each other, the table that blocked the entrance to the arch made a loud noise coming out from the inside and tried to wave my hand to the other direction.

"No, I'm not going to buy things. I brought the stuff to P'Keng.”

"Oh, is a Keng fan club? If you want to see him, you have to go to the front as well. He will come to sell things, then say what you came back here to say came.”

"But I didn't ..."

"Don't talk, nong you don't know. P' is busier today."

"I have to go to study I stopped by for just a little bit. i would like to leave it and leave P'.”

Because the purpose is not to see him face to face I only needed to give someone the tie then that someone can give it to him. When this P' is talking  he sounded like a friend of P'Keng, I think it would be more convenient to leave  it to him than waiting to meet with the person. Although i was feeling a little regret he cannot be thanked by myself

I bent down and opened the backpack, preparing to take out the necktie, but when I realized that it might be gone, the hair was torn, so the paper came out to wrap loose. And wrote with the name of his elder brother as well

"Oi Ai'Keng you have a fan club member here... and a man too. He's coming to the front and isn't curious about being embarrassed."

But before I can deliver the goods to that P' I had to stand there frozen and helpless because That P' shouted loudly so that both people in and out of the neighborhood, all stopped and looked at me at one point.

I stood there like a stiff thing, do not know what to do, must I excuse myself that I'm not a fan club member or do I have to tell them that I'm not that shameful to go ahead and skip the line, but I have to hurry to go to study. The thoughts in the brain are all debating. When looking up to explain, I have to see many pairs of eyes that look at me in many forms. Both knowing the type of questions they want to ask me, both laughing so I kept bending back and forth as before. And this is my first time, so many people are looking at me

"Let's go"

Pramote saw that I was standing still for a long time, he stretched out his elbows so we could walk away from here. But what to do, I can't walk out, so I can only let Pramote hold my elbow and pull me out from that point.

"Shin, right now, Shin, right?"

P'Keng followed us behind. The shout of my name rang shortly after both I and Pramote left the arch. When I heard my name, I stopped and stood back. The back of P'Keng is still full of people who are fond of him. He is standing in a pensive and being looked at from all the places, so it makes me tense and unable to act properly, even after walking out from there.

"What's wrong?"

When P'Keng asked me, I was conscious and realized that I had walked from the cafeteria to this point to give him something. I took out the necktie that was wrapped in a wrap and handed it back to P'Keng.

As soon as the goods were sent out, a loud photo was heard from that area. I looked up to the sound and knew that there was probably a group of P'Keng fans who followed P'Keng to take pictures on the page like I used to, so I didn't pay attention.

"I brought this one back to P'."

"you called me P'. In conclusion, Shin is P's junior?"

"Yes"

"If it's the same course, P' has never seen your face before. Anyway, thank you very much for returning it.”

"I must thank you. You saved me for that day, thank you very much.”

"And how did that day go you got into the exam right away?"

"Just in time, but just like that, like I was sitting in."

"What subject?"

"Foundation state, not my favorite subject"

"But that subject, P' got an A"

"Really?"

"Really"

"Oh P' is freaking awesome"

"Come on, P' will write down the summary for you is that okay?"

"Okay"

"And I can tutor you? Yes ..."

"Shin, it is almost the afternoon time to study."

I stooped and loked at the watch from my mobile phone and then had to suppress my wide eyes because of P'Keng is a friendly person from the purpose of the visit is just to get things back. Became a constant flowing conversation

Aside from being a friendly person of P'Keng, I was able to talk for a long time. From being a person who doesn't talk to someone who can hold a conversation, it's probably because every time I meet P'Keng is an impression. First, impressed with kindness Even though P'Keng didn't know who I was, but knowing that I was in trouble, he still reached out to help.

For the second time, I was impressed with him being a simple person. this senior despite that he is the celebrity of the university the volume doesn't make P thinks he is above all of us? He can still talk to me in a friendly way. Once I knew that I was a junior, he could immediately treat me as another senior.

"Then I will say goodbye, P'."

"Wait, Shin"

"Yes?"

"How about you get my number? If P' finds a sheet, P' can get it for you.”

"Oh, alright."

"Also, don't think too much of what P's friends have to say. All of my friends have been preparing for work for many days and they're probably tired. They may not speak well or calm to people."

"Its fine, P'. I understand."
