Beautiful Monster
Graduation Again

Ignacia looked at herself in the mirror. From head to toe, everything seemed perfect. The graduation hats and toga were already worn to participate in today's event. Danita took her place next to the glass that Ignacia was using. Staring at his friend who now looks increasingly shining with light makeup on his face.

"Rajendra will definitely fall in love with you again, Ignacia. You look more and more beautiful. Try to smile. Yes, like that. You look even prettier." Danita brought a smile to her friend's face, no more flat corners. There was no longer any feeling of worry and sadness as her studies were over. Ignacia regains energy thanks to Danita.

Ignacia grabbed her phone behind Danita. There was no message from Rajendra. Is it possible that the man is still on his way? Or is there something preventing him from giving the news if it has arrived like Ignacia's request last night? The signal here is very good, it is impossible for Rajendra's message to be received too late.

Danita snatched Ignacia's phone for no reason, "Here you go, Rajendra will definitely come. We better get ready soon. Soon we'll officially part ways with college." Danita continued to hold Ignacia's hand to be taken out of the room. Along the hallway, students who are ready for graduation are waiting to be invited into the room.

Invitational guests will be welcome to sit first in the designated place. The parents and guardians of the graduates will sit next to each other. About ten minutes later, students are welcome to enter the room. Mama Ignacia was already getting ready with her phone to record Ignacia's entry into the room.

This moment must be immortalized.

Danita called Bahri the rest of the time, making sure the man had arrived with his mother inside the building. When he first entered, Bahri said that the graduation room was bigger than the one he used to graduate a few days ago. Danita tells Ignacia about her lover's admiration, as a chatter so that Ignacia is not nervous.

Yesterday as practice went up to the front of the stage, Ignacia's hands seemed to tremble for a moment. Coincidentally their major became the earliest one on call. Danita can still see the nervousness of Ignacia even though it is not too obvious like yesterday. "Return your breath, Ignacia. Face your nerves and finish the graduation well."

"Friends, are you nervous?" A girl stood beside this pair of friends. He looked different without wearing glasses. "I want to see you before we sit apart. I'd like to take a picture of you together after the show is over. I brought my camera too."

Danita was moved to see Nesya also managed to get to this point. Wanting to hug but afraid of makeup can be damaged accidentally. Ignacia nodded at her friend's request. He moved to hold the hands of each of his friends, making an appointment to meet later.

The code for students is given, time to enter the room according to the row. Luckily Ignacia was sitting next to Danita, so she could still feel calm because of her friend's presence. Before entering, Danita had encouraged Ignacia. He said Ignacia must have been able to get through her nervousness.

When entering the room, the graduates will pass through the seats of parents and guardians. Cameras began to be directed at them, like artists invited to important events only. Ignacia fadly glanced, looking for the whereabouts of her parents. And there they both stood and pointed the camera phone to highlight himself. His parents' attention returned to him today.

Behind her, Danita continues to search for Bahri's whereabouts with her mother. They were supposed to be sitting next to Ignacia's parents. His eyes continued to glance without anyone knowing. This year more graduates become graduates so they do not have time to pay attention one by one.

It took a while for Danita to discover the whereabouts of a woman she calls mother. Standing right next to a man who has been looking after his son for years. Danita's heart warmed, especially after noticing the amazed gazes of the two people she had invited. Danita will have to take this day with them.

Graduates are still not allowed to sit before university officials enter. Ignacia's pounding feeling slowly disappeared. Just when the graduates are welcome to sit down, Danita immediately took her friend's hand. Now it's her turn to be nervous. His hands felt a little cold. Maybe because of the air conditioning, Danita's a bit shivering.

On the other hand, Athira waited boredly with her two younger siblings. If only they did not come, surely now the three had fun in their respective rooms. They just lose time eating out at home. His father promised to bring them a good meal this afternoon. Who can miss a special day? Moreover, his brother will join them with his toga.

Athira is tired of playing her phone. All he could do now was sit in the car with the next door open. His legs he let hang, leaning on the car seat comfortably. Mengamatu high building which became the place where her brother diwisuda. Since this place is not hot, Athira will not complain.

"Sister, can't we go around? Let's buy a snack while you wait for brother to finish." Rafka does not usually whine, especially now that he has Junior High. He must be too bored. Seeing her brother whining, Arvin helped. He also wanted to go around. As long as there was his second brother, he and his third brother would definitely be safe right? Sitting in a boring car.

If allowed, Athira also wants to take a short walk. There are still about three hours until the show is finished if it follows the schedule he reads. "Get me my phone. Let's try to ask mom and dad if we can go." It just so happened that his father left the car keys to Athira if they just wanted to go to the toilet.

Rafka immediately excited, taking his sister's phone that was nearby. Arvin peeked at the message that Athira typed in his mother's chat house from the back seat. She couldn't wait until she asked her sister to call her mom. Athira refused. Inside events should not be interrupted with a call.

About fifteen minutes passed, the message that the brothers were waiting for did not come. Rafka and Arvin are about to give up, and so is Athira. His attention changed on the phone screen showing his chat room with his mom. Was his mother bored inside? Why not see the message from now on?

Thirty minutes passed, his mother still did not reply. Athira thought of sending a message to his father only. Maybe her father can help. After all, his father must understand why Arvin and Rafka want to go out. Sitting for hours in a car is a waste of time.

Athira came straight down from her seat, turning to look at her two bewildered siblings. "Why are you guys still relaxing? You guys don't want to go out with me?" Athira folded her hands in front of her chest, waiting for her two excited sisters. They hurriedly put on their footwear and got out of the car alternately. The car is locked, and the key is stored in Athira's sling bag.

His father asked Athira to take good care of his younger siblings. Maybe they can relax in the minimarket near the campus. Eating ice cream or a snack, I don't know. They are not allowed to go any further. They fear getting lost or things that are not desirable.

"Then you must study hard" said Athira.

He moved to hold the hands of his two younger siblings because he was going to cross the road. "You two should focus on the road, okay?" Remember Athira on Rafka as well as Arvin before the traffic lights turn green for pedestrians. The traffic around here is quite heavy because it is in the city.

Arvin's monitoring the traffic lights, "Sister, it's green. Let's go for it."

Some people will also cross both from the direction that Athira wants to go and vice versa. So he let go of Rafka's hand for a bit to put his bag in front. Thought his hand grip on Arvin was tight, but instead the boy was able to escape quickly. He could not wait to get across the street.

Sontak Rafka and Athira run after the younger ones. Arvin did not hear his brother's call. His steps were so nimble to pass people, as a result of which he almost got hit by someone. Even so Arvin did not give up, he still ran. Fortunately, someone managed to hold his hand. Athira was eager to scold his sister.

They and the person who stopped Arvin had reached the other side, Athira's gaze was still on his sister instead of the person who helped them. Rafka nagged, herself surprised because her sister ran in the crowd. What if there's a bad guy who's doing him a shit? Then there will be no more holidays for failing to look after each other.

After a few seconds Athira just saw the man who helped earlier. "Why brother can .." his words were stifled, his mind was just processing what had just happened, "Oh yeah I forgot. Ignacia graduation sister. Thank you for helping me, brother. Brother going to my sister's university?"

Rafka and Arvin seem confused, how can his brother get to know this man. They must have forgotten how Rajendra Karana has long since not met. While they were at a loss, this brother and man were still chatting. Talk about the university and their oldest brother.

"of course. Why would I come here if it wasn't for Ignacia. Where are you going?" Rajendra asked.

"The way is still starting, we are bored and want to eat ice cream at the minimarket. Brother doesn't want to join us? Rather than waiting long in front of the building." Athira made sure she was holding her two younger siblings properly now. His views then lead to the prospective sister-in-law.

Rajendra shook his head, "There's a place I need to go. Call me if Ignacia's done. To make sure I'm not late." Rajendra resigned, immediately turned and crossed without waiting for the lights. This guy seems to be busy preparing something.

Relaxing in the minimarket is enough to make time move very quickly. Not as boring as sitting in the car. The third ice cream had run out from now on, changing to a savory snack now. For a long time Athira did not buy her two sisters something after looking for a boarding house and preparing many things for her college. Let's just say it's time to make up for it.

The call from the father appeared on the screen of the flat object that Athira was holding. His father requested that his son return immediately and bring a bouquet of flowers that had been prepared in the car. The waiting event is over. Athira brought her sisters back, crossed the road and rushed to the car.

Not to forget Athira contacted Rajendra, telling him that his brother was free with his bachelor's degree. With the bouquet already in hand, Athira went to the place her father had told her to. They will take pictures together in a large field near the graduation building.

It seems that without reading Athira's message, Rajendra already knows when her lover is finished. Athira accidentally saw a well-dressed man, a brown batik shirt, plain cloth pants with a younger color. The man's gaze was fixed on a dream girl who was chatting with her family. Especially her parents.

Athira continued on, following where his two younger siblings went. Ignacia pretended to be moved when she got a bouquet of flowers from her sister. Athira did the same. Pretending to tear. The relationship between the brothers always gets along in the eyes of the family. Even at times like this, they can still joke.

Ignacia did not seem overwhelmed at all. Her happiness was too great that her sense of well-being was covered. Ignacia received the flower bikey given, not forgetting to thank her for the presence of all her family. What could she be more grateful for than that?

It just so happens that Nesya passed by with Danita and their family. Nesya's sister had also come. It was like a family gathering. Ignacia's parents knew Nesya's family, and vice versa. Danita introduces her two friends to her mother. The two Ignacian parents did not recognize Bahri because they had not met for a long time. Fortunate.

Before the three friends take pictures together, Nesya will first help Ignacia take pictures with her family. Using the camera that Nesya brought of course. The more he gets here, the better he'll be at setting the camera. The picture was great when Ignacia saw it.

Nesya's sister helps her sister to take pictures with her two best friends. The brothers are equally good at taking pictures. They try many styles without worrying about unsatisfactory results. The most important photo to take is a photo with a boukey of flowers along with a diploma, right? The photo must be perfect.

Again Athira glanced at the young man earlier, it seemed that someone was calculating the right time to appear. Should Athira take her family members away for a while? Or maybe saying something to her brother that might be too busy to see a message Rajendra could be waiting for a reply?

The one being stared at was also as if returning Athira's gaze. They are equally confused. If Rajendra suddenly enters, the atmosphere is afraid of awkwardness. Athira approached her brother who was looking at the photos. He called several times in a quiet voice, attracting the attention of the older brother.

"Sir, someone is waiting" Athira said.
