"Who are you taking to the Language Month?" Danita started the conversation while eating, "we can invite at least one person to the campus event to make it more festive. I got a leak if we're gonna be asked to make a quote or a poem for the person we're going to ask."

"Who said it?" Nesya asked.

"My friend from another major. His friend became the organizer for this language month event. As it relates to language, so made that little gift for the invitees." Great idea, really feel the language. The rules must use national language.

"When's announcement?" Now Ignacia asked.

"Maybe two weeks before the event. Making a quote or poem is not so difficult if it is intended for loved ones."

What would Ignacia write for Rajendra? He'd better make something that the man won't forget But, can Rajendra come and accept the result of his thought? Just imagining Rajendra coming is incredible. Ignacia should not forget her lover's job.

When should Ignacia invite Rajendra to come to her campus? The last time Ignacia asked her out, Rajendra had to put her off. If this time Rajendra also postponed it, Ignacia would not have to make that poem or quote. The show has passed.

The next day the announcement came. Announcement of the language month that must be known by campus residents. You can invite friends from outside, prepare a poem or quote as Danita said, then there will be several competitions to enliven the festival. Making short stories, reading pusi, musical poetry, performing dance and drama and Scientific Writing.

"I recommend Ignacia." Danita happily raised her hand and pointed at the friend next to her to become a director. "I heard that Ignacia was a director in High School. His group got the first-place champion."

Did Nesya divulge the secret of Ignacia?

People were now staring at Ignacia while weighing. The facts presented by Danita make everyone agree that even Ignacia is somewhat embarrassed. He had only known his friends for a few months, but had gotten such a great opportunity in the drama competition that a lecturer asked for.

Not everyone in the class will be in the drama. Some people choose to write and read poetry. There is no order for all majors to send representatives for each race. However, it is recommended to at least send representatives for the race in addition to the drama that has been represented by the Ignacia class.

The exercises will begin after the creation of the script and the division of roles. Because almost everyone who participated in the drama had gained experience, so Ignacia did not have to go the extra mile. He just needs to direct and give some advice to make it feel more real.

Due to its relationship with Moon Language, Ignacia and friends will be presenting a drama that alludes to the big events behind her commemoration this month. An event in which one is a recognition of the language of unity.

Ignacia doesn't tell Rajendra about being the director for the big event. Let it be a surprise if Rajendra can come. For eight days Ignacia wished her lover could come. Ignacia will prove her worth during college.

Ignacia's friends took good care of the script. Ignacia just gave a rough idea, and within a day, a friend had already laid out the frame of the story. He said he was inspired by the books and movies he had seen about the struggle. After getting approval, the first exercise begins.

Ignacia began to split the roles for her friends. For the backstage workers and the actors who will be acting together. Organizing adult friends is easier than Ignacia's old friends. They better understand what they can do and appreciate what Ignacia says.

The rehearsals on the first day were focused only on reading the script as they were done on the actor before filming. Ignacia will tell the actors what they should do when reading the parts aided by those who make the script.

Then in the next rehearsal they will try to arrange the positions on the stage and the actions of the actors. For those backstage will also pay attention, think about the property that will be prepared for each chapter of the scene.

In the second training break, Ignacia invites Danita who is one of the actresses in her drama to go to the cafeteria to buy a drink. All Ignacia treat her friends cold drinks because they have worked hard for the drama. As gratitude for the trouble of memorizing the dialogue.

"You're cool" Danita praised, "people admire you for the way you manage them. You are firm when training and relax during rest hours. You're awesome."

Ignacia finished putting all the cold drinks into the plastic bag. Give one to Danita and let her take the rest. "I try not to disappoint you. Our class is the only class that makes drama. So it has to be good."

"What if I buy snacks for others too?" Ignacia stopped and saw some light snacks in the glass window of the canteen. Danita shook her head, Ignacia doesn't have to spoil her friends at the initial rehearsal.

"This drink is enough. The next time we succeed, treat us to food" joked Danita.

After training, Ignacia checks to see if Rajendra sends a message. Today Ignacia just holds a course book and a script paper without looking at a cell phone. Good thing Rajendra had not returned to work when Ignacia had arrived at the dormitory. Ignacia does not need to find an excuse.

...Rajendra ⁇ ◝ ⁇ ◜...

Ignacia's mind was filled with various worrying questions. He was very afraid of making Rajendra overwhelmed. Asking him to come to this city was it not troublesome for the man? He also works part-time at a crowded restaurant.

Ignacia's training days went well. Everyone memorized their roles and responsibilities three weeks before they even performed. Preparation is almost done. Even the costume to be used is prepared, ready with his makeup as well.

Three weeks before the festival, Ignacia tells Rajendra when she wants to meet. Rajendra said he'd work on it. All right, Ignacia should be optimistic. Rajendra will be able to come if Ignacia believes in her lover's abilities. While waiting for her to come, Ignacia would make a small letter as the announcement said back then.

...The committee will prepare paper and envelopes accompanied by a small cake for one invited guest brought by students....

Ignacia looked at the ceiling of the classroom where her group was training while sitting. The lights up there, some lights are on. They should all have been able to go home, but because it was too cool to discuss property and others, the return event was delayed.

They're going home together, out of class together. Solidarity he said. While waiting for the team of stage stylists to return from the toilet, Ignacia and the rest of the friends relax in class. Do nothing but chat or joke with the dialogue of other actors they memorized.

"Director, why shut up?" Someone teased Ignacia, making the so-called Director Bu stop looking up. "Here, join us to discuss a good place to eat," invite one of them.

Ignacia smiled slightly, she got up from her seat and walked over to her friends who were sitting in a circle. They were so cool about the good food around the university. It turns out that there's a lot of food that Ignacia hasn't explored in months here.

"After the drama is over, what if we dine behind campus? The chicken is delicious. The meat is tender and the sauce is very chili," proposed a female friend who was in front of Ignacia.

"We performed after the opening. How can you eat before lunch? Eat close to breakfast anyway," refutes him who just came. "Let's go home now. Poor those who are tired of acting."

Classrooms are left closed, left alone so that later security guards are locked. Ignacia runs slower than friends. His eyes caught the view of the full sky. Does the moon light up the way his friends come home? Tonight was brighter than usual.

Ignacia's mind then drifted to Rajendra's response when he would try to come. Rajendra did not even ask why Ignacia had asked him to come. Does Rajendra know why Ignacia invited him?

"Bu Director," scolded someone. Ignacia stopped, seeing the friends in front of her staring at her, "why are you daydreaming? Is there anything more important than the road ahead of you?"

Ignacia's face heated up, seeing her friends smiling at her made the director feel embarrassed. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Protesting for shame.

"You better see which way you're going. What if you fall? We don't want you to get hurt" said the other and chuckled. Why should they tempt Ignacia with such words?

...*****...

Again Bagas found his roommate watching the calendar. What if he threw the calendar away instead of being stared at by the thick-browed one. "What makes you look at that innocent calendar? Don't you want to sleep?"

"I think I'm going out of town again soon. Ignacia invited me to meet, " Rajendra said quickly.

"Oh really? That nice. You can meet again. I'm also going out of town in the near future. When are you going to leave? I'm leaving later this month." Bagas grabbed his phone which was finished charging, carrying it on the bed.

Rajendra, who heard the last words of his friend, turned his head, "i'll be going this weekend." The two looked at each other for a moment. Coincidentally too coincidental.

...*****...

"We took a short break and then repeated the scene as we would on stage" Ignacia said.

"Excuse me," someone appeared behind Ignacia, "you're trying really hard. How'd it go?" It was the first time Ignacia had a guest. This person also offered a cold drink to the director.

"Thank you for the drink. After a few more rehearsals, we will show the drama perfectly. It's like going back to High School." Ignacia sat down with her guest, "what are you doing here, Nesya? I thought you were home."

Nesya had group work, so she stayed longer on campus. He deliberately passed Ignacia's class when he was going home to see if the director's friend had gone home or not. Just buy me a drink for Ignacia.

It didn't take long until Danita also realized Nesya's whereabouts next to Ignacia. The short-haired girl also got another cold drink. "I've seen you guys practice since. You all did well," praised the four-eyed man.

"Everything because Ignacia was adept at organizing us. Have you decided who to take you to the festival?" Danita sat down in front of Ignacia, "the little cakes to be shared look really funny. My safety friend showed me a glimpse."

This Danita insider is great.

On the way to the hostel, someone called Ignacia. Who else if not Rajendra? There is good news for this long haired girl. Danita decides to go back first, letting Ignacia chat with her lover without interruption.

"I'm coming, Ignacia. Just a day, I can't stay. Don't pick me up, I'll walk you to the dorm."

Ignacia smiled very widely, "are you really going to come? I'll wait for you, Rajendra."

Well, then, Ignacia has to prepare the drama very well. The honored guests came. And also-the small letters to be given must be prepared. What should Ignacia tell Rajendra? Moreover, the paper he got was not large.

"What did you write for Bahri?" Ignacia asked Danita. Ignacia had been trying to fill out a letter for a few days, but had yet to find inspiration. Maybe Danita can give him a little advice.

"I'd say if I loved her more than anything? Haha I think I'll write that. I'm less able to express affection in a short message." Danita looked out the window, "i'd rather show feelings through togetherness."

"Nearly like Rajendra?" inner Ignacia.

"Oh yeah, you can't leave campus because of the drama we performed after the opening. How will Rajendra come? I'm afraid he's lost." Danita turned to look at her friend. He was right too, the campus will be crowded by invited guests and students.

Ignacia shrugged her shoulders not knowing, she was also thinking about it since last night. Next week will come soon. He can only hope Rajendra can find his way onto the stage on the campus's large grounds.

"Ignacia, let's practice with the property again," asked a friend who was ready to bring the property in his hands. Inevitably now his training was back to begin. They only have one week to finish training.

A week turned into three days in an instant. Ignacia fiddled with her phone to see the train schedule. Rajendra says he'll go by the morning train. If there was still time, Ignacia could pick him up from the station and go to his campus together right?
