ALINDYA PEN
08. Olympiads
Alindya's heart is beating today. Now he is in the line of ceremonial troops, class X Mia 3 ranks more precisely. In a few hours, he and the other two representatives will leave immediately. Towards the location of the district-level Olympics. Today is H day, the day Alindya must really show the skills she learned this few weeks.
Alindya continued to pray that she would not disappoint her teacher and her parents. More precisely he hopes to use the opportunity as best as possible.
The ceremony was finally over, Alindya and the other two representatives gathered right in front of the field. Waiting for their pickup car that has not yet arrived. Mr. Karyono approached the three of them. Then he gave instructions about the rules in the Olympics this time.
They look at every detail of the rules. After they finished their prayers, along with that their pickup car finally arrived.
On the way, Alindya did not stop praying. Honestly, he was a little bit insecure. The other two representatives really had skills on top of him. Not to mention when he thought of the other opponents there. But he tried to convince himself and was firm in principle that he could too. Everyone has the same opportunity. Alindya was very sure of that. The most important thing is to work hard, be optimistic and always pray.
Arriving at the Olympic venue. Alindya was stunned by the figure before her. He was shaking hands with his teacher, Mr. Karyono. After some time Alindya finally found out what the name of the mysterious man, Dhiyaul Haq. A name so full of meaning. If Alindya does not guess wrong, it must mean 'The light of truth'. Next to the guy was one more guy, whom Alindya knew was Rosyid. Well, if not wrong also means 'Give a hint'.
The two people who so made Alindya feel down all of a sudden. The reason is definitely because they have such a fascinating history.
Alindya reassured herself.
"Don't worry Alindya. Everything Will be okay. You just need to be sure and optimistic." Alindya said in her heart many times.
The committee divided them into several groups. The goal is that there is no cheating in each team. Alindya is separated from the other two school representatives.
When entering the class where the preliminary test is held. Alindya was nervous again, she kept looking at the bolpoint, the eraser, and the blank paper in front of her. Five minutes later the test was carried out, this was marked by a bell ringing.
Alindya continued to focus on the issues that were before her. He continued to move his fingers nimbly. Calculate each formula and insert each answer that he got into the answer paper that has been provided.
The time is 15 minutes away, but Alindya still recounts his last 8 questions. He could not find answers to those questions. Alindya started to panic and get confused. Finally the time was over, Alindya guessed the origin of the last 4 questions.
Out of the room, Alindya re-assembled with the other two representatives. They were ordinary and looked calm. Unlike Alindya who constantly prayed in her heart because of the gunda.
Maybe because the others already have history with the same scene. Alindya, this is the first time she has participated in the Olympics. While still sitting in Alindya Elementary School had indeed participated in the Olympics. But not a subject of mathematics, but social science. Alindya won the first champion of hope.
While waiting for the announcement of the top 10 who qualify tomorrow round. Alindya and her friends decided to have lunch first. At one of the dining venues close to the University where the race is held. Arriving there, Dhiyaul Haq, Rosyid and their guidance teacher were also there. The seven of them ended up having lunch together.
The long-awaited time has finally arrived. Alindya and the others entered the main hall of the University. Alindya sat in the front row and followed by Fatikhatul Azizah behind her. The others were some distance away from the two of them.
The committee announced one by one that entered the round of 10 tomorrow. The tense is that the MC on this day is only the denominator of the participant number and the origin of the school. This made everything in the room so quiet. Because each of them focused on the number of participants they wore.
When it came to the ninth number there was none of Alindya, Ade Selamet Firdaus, and Fatikhatul Azizah who was called by the MC. Until finally the tenth participant number was announced. How surprised Alindya to know that he is the one who entered the round of 10 tomorrow. Alindya took a deep breath and threw it away.
The nervousness was finally over, just how Alindya faced tomorrow. It turns out that the ones who escaped tomorrow were not only 10 people, but 12 people. There are two other participant numbers called MC. This is because their scores are the same as each other.
Alindya got congratulations from both colleagues and also Mr. Karyono. Rosyid and Dhiyaul Haq also escaped tomorrow. Alindya was not surprised, because she already knew the history of the two creatures from the two teachers who were nearby at this time.
Arriving at the school Alindya saw Alfa who was reading a book. Alfa still wears a sports uniform. Alindya surmised Alfa had just completed a sports subject. Alfa and her friends definitely didn't change the uniform until the return hours were over. This was evident by the presence of another Alfa classmate, who also wore the same uniform.
Alfa realizes Alindya's presence. He smiled and approached Alindya. He brought a warm chocolate drink with him.
"Have the Olympics finished?" tanya Alfa was still with her distinctive smile.
"Udah ko, elo haven't come home Al?" ask Alindya.
"No, wait for elo. I'm sure you must be dizzy right from there?" alfa.
"Ko elo know Al?" alindya asked in surprise.
"We've known from when the year was Lin. Yesterday I didn't know such rich trivia, want warm chocolate?" ask Alfa while offering a cup of drinks that He brought.
Alindya took the drink and thanked Alfa and God. Because God has given himself a figure that is so meaningful in his life, Alfarezi Kavindra.
Alfa held Alindya's hand gently and led her towards the parking lot. To get the bike and hurry home.
When Alfa would wear a helmet on Alindya's head. Alfa let out her voice.
"Lin elo sure will continue to focus on this path, elo happy?" alfa.
"What street do you mean by Al?" ask Alindya.
"Elo's head is often dizzy finished with everything that smells of science. Elo also has an ulcer because of late eating and focus on doing all that. I and my parents never forbid elo to do elo hobbies. We just want, elo happy same choice and way elo. Most importantly take care of health, I can't see you sick Lin." Alfa at length.
Alfa's expression made Alindya speechless and thought for a moment. Alindya remembered her father and her mother who always said the same thing as Alfa said. Alindya wondered if she was happy on the road she was on.
"Don't because everyone else knows you're great at science. Elo so mengelupain something that really elo like. Do not be the figure of the person who carried the same picture of others about elo. Elo must be yourself Elo Lin." Reveal Alfa while looking at the two Alindya netra.
Alindya smiled and nodded. The sign he will think and permeate every speech that Alpha said just now.
"Al, thank you for always being there for me." Alindya.
"I'll be rich forever, Lin." Reveal the meaning of Alpha.
They finally came home, leaving the school grounds that were starting to desolate. Accompanied by dusk in the afternoon.
Alindya was very grateful for the presence of Alpha in her life. He prayed that Alfa would keep all her promises. Alindya really didn't want to lose Alfa for a second.
Alindya hugged Alfa from behind. Then he buried his head on Alpha's burly back. Alfa smiled behind the helmet she was wearing.
"Gue really doesn't want to lose Elo Al." Alindya In My Heart.
