CUTS
KKN In Wengi Village...

A black glamorous girl ran towards one of the classes where this was a course with a notoriously fierce lecturer. He was so caught that he hit a man in front of him. “Astagrfirullah,” this girl jumped when the books in her arms fell after hitting someone's back.

“Sorry, I'm in a hurry.” Said the girl while quoting her books and ran back to her classroom.

A small notebook lay in the man's arms. It seems that when the collision was just a small book was slammed forward until it escaped from the black girl's eyes.

“Fig, here!” shouted one of the friends as they waved their hands.

Yes, the black girl is Anggia sister of Ari Iskandar's best friend. A student at one of the Islamic universities in Surabaya where Iskandar teaches.

“The lecturers haven't arrived yet right?” aisha asked two of her friends.

“Not yet, maybe even more.” replied Lastri one of Aisyah's friends.

“Time is not yet this.” Sahut Putri while looking at the clock on his wrist.

While in the room of one of the lecturers, Iskandar who just joined got the task to become a supervising lecturer for students who will do KKN activities in one of the villages. The lecturer who was supposed to be the guide of the group was suddenly prevented from getting pregnant young. As a result, Iskandar was chosen as a substitute even though he had just joined the campus.

A bus was waiting for a group of students who would take them to their destination village. They will serve three months in the village.

“Listen-heard new lecturer who replaced the Cairo graduate Holy Buk huh?” ask the Goddess who is getting ready with a snack and a box of mineral water.

“Iya, hopefully the lecturer is good yes like Holy Buk.” Sahut Nuri's.

“Aminnn.” Answer Aisha.

The three students giggled to themselves and one by one began to record names in absentia that had been circulated.

“Pak Chairman, today we only visit and survey only right?” aisyah asked Dodik the group leader.

“Yes, hopefully the place is not too remote huh! I'm afraid we get a village like Penari Village.” Complain Dodik.

“Hus, don't mention it. We also serem.”

“But Mbah google map says this village is not too far.” Aisyah.

“Kalo pack map yes all close. See later instead of wondering uncertain.” Dodik ended the conversation and the action of mutual elbow began to occur when from the back of Dodik seen a man walking with a flat gaze towards their bus.

“That's the lecturer? Not wrong? I've never eaten salted fish.” The Whisper of the Goddess made her friends stare confusedly.

“There are beautiful men so eat salted fish, ah you guys like slow loading.” The Goddess returned.

“Good morning by noon, this with the group –“ Iskandar look at the banners that have been installed on the body of the bus and then see the paper that is being held.

“Ya, right. My name is Iskandar. You must have heard that the Holy Mother cannot be your guide during KKN activities in Wengi village for the next three months for health reasons. So during that time, I will take over the task of the Holy Mother to guide you. I hope you all work together to complete this activity well until it is completed. Students whose names I call please take the bus.”

One by one the students boarded the bus according to the name called by Iskandar. “Dodik, you group leader?” ask the last student he called.

“Iya, Sir.” Iskandar reached out his hand to shake hands with Dodik.

The small thing that made Dodik awkward was also amazed because the young lecturer in front of him did not look down on students.

“Please help, yes!” iskandar said as they shook hands.

“We also beg for guidance.” Reply Dodik. They both smile.

The interaction of the two men down there attracted the attention of all the students who were on the bus was no exception Aisyah. The beautiful pink-hooded girl smiled with a look of admiration at the man who became her lecturer. The two men sat next to the bus driver. They talked about a lot of things on the way. Dodik was not wrongly chosen as the leader of the group. The students behind him were made to gawk at Dodik directly exposing their programs to Iskandar.

Two male students came from behind. They handed over three bottles of mineral water plus three boxes of pre-paste cookies. Iskandar himself has provided mineral water in his backpack.

“Save it, I'm still in the bag!” reject Iskandar. He took a water bottle belonging to a driver's pack, “I can't, Sir?” ask Iskandar.

“Bby, Sir. I'm not good with Mr.”

“Obviously, Mr.” replied Iskandar then handed the bottle of drink that had been opened to the hand of Mr. Driver.

Increasing admiration of the students who saw the actions of Iskandar including Dodik who incidentally a male student but he was also amazed by Adab and the behavior of Iskandar.

“Pak, sorry before. We heard-with Mr Cairo graduate huh?” the question came from Dewi who could not bear to ask the lecturer who had made him amazed at first glance.

“Iya,”

“Father is married?” another question arises and this is what makes Iskandar not like.

“Already!”

“Wah, failed before expanding.” Ledek one of the male students.

Dodik can capture the aura of dislike in his lecturer. He could only sigh and try to stretch his back. The two-and-a-half hour journey was exhausting.

Dreet…

“Assalamualaikum, Cake.”

“Walaikumsalam, Grandpa just read your message. Have you left?” ask your grandfather over the phone line.

“Already, Cake. What about the village that Is asked earlier?”

“Where are you staying?” continued the grandfather.

“In the office of the village head. Incidentally there is also close to the village midwife's house. Later we will try to talk to the midwife what is possible if students stay there. While students can stay at the village head office.”

“Alright, keep reminding to be careful on your students.”

“Good, Cake. Thank ye. The cow has eaten?”

“Already, your mother cooked Aceh food. Grandpa so do not stop eating because of ease.” The grandfather chuckled softly then the conversation between the two ended.

Iskandar sighed then looked at Dodik who was also looking at him with a serious look. The students in the back were also worried after stealing the lecturer's talk.

“Pak, don't scare us yes!” goddess from behind.

“God willing we will be fine. If the village is not safe, the campus has already crossed it from the list of KKN activities. We just have to keep our attitude and behavior. Do not interfere in their affairs and do not be curious and do not violate any rules there. You guys understand, right?”

“Practice, Sir.”

“You women do not get too close to interact with the young people or the men in the village and vice versa. I've reminded you this now so the rest of you alone are responsible for yourself and your safety.” Said Iskandar who was standing in front of his students.

“Means the true story of last year's student, he immediately married the village girl when KKN was there even though the student already had a very beautiful girlfriend on his campus.” Woe to one of the students.

“It's a soul mate huh! Don't associate it with supernatural things. Everything that happens is predestined so do not think of anything.” Iskandar.

Dreet…

Iskandar held up one hand, and answered the call from the father.

“Assalamualaikum, Pa.”

“You've left?” Rendra panicked until she forgot to answer the greetings.

“Walaikumsalam, have you arrived?” ask again.

“Numbered, Pa. It's still on bus.”

“Papa has contacted the koramil there to ask for their help to provide a place for you to stay. Don't stay in that village!”

Iskandra sighed glancing at Dodik. “If we stay at a place that Papa's friends provide we have to find accommodation for a daily trip to that village.”

“We can be ready, Pak.” said Dodik quickly.

The other students nodded their heads. They were afraid of having to stay in the village.

“Good, Pa. today we'll just see first. Tomorrow will just go there.”

“Be careful, yes! Keep it flat and cold as before. If it could be more than before. Papa is not ready to have the village's ghost.” Rendra chuckled but could be sure if he was panicking thinking about the son. Moreover, Rendra knew from his friends who served as the head of the koramil in the area.

“Family Father very attention yes!” celtuk Nuri but Iskandar returned to early mode.

“How is the accommodation problem?” ask Iskandar to Dodik.

Dodik woke up from his seat, “Who of you has a car?” some of them put their hands together.

“We bring five cars only, how?” tanya Dodik because of the 20 students on the bus, almost 10 people have a car.

“But our goods for three months how?” ask one of the students.

“We will return to the city once every two months to buy groceries and others.” Answer Iskandar.

“Pak, how about one car we fill special items. Our goods for two weeks must be a lot to enter in one car.” The advice of one of the students that looks like he is quite complicated when it comes to traveling. This can be seen from the neck pillow, pillow bolster and blanket as well as glasses also one plastic snack.

“You guys just set how good.” Said Iskandar while sighing. Dealing with women is always long and troublesome. Only his mother was not complicated about traveling maybe because her mother was trained to live with a fast and disciplined army.

Iskandar sat back down and laid himself on the back of the bench. Just now he wanted to close his eyes the vibration of the phone back made him open his eyes.

“Assalamualaikum, Dearest Brother.”

“Walaikumsalam, what is it?”

“Grandfather and Papa had a panic attack when they found out that he wanted to go to Wengi village. Really good fun, huh?” ask Anugrah.

“No idea, we haven't arrived yet. Nothing matters anymore, right? I'm gonna take a break. Assalamualaikum,”

Tuuttt….

“Pak Is it like a favorite child, deh.”
