Degree And Guarantee
Reyhan Reinaldi Nugroho


That morning Andini walked down the small street while smiling happily leaving the camp. The three-kilometer journey to the house of Ibu Imas feels so close unlike the usual.


"You can continue school as you wish. Pipih support you Din as long as you remember your promise with Mimih yesterday." The words he said last night made Andini so happy and excited to welcome the morning and made him impatient to wait for tomorrow.


...♡♡♡••••••♡♡♡...


In the classroom Rima and Andini are seriously taking down all the tasks given by their teacher. They followed closely all the subjects of the day.


A happy smile is always seen in the corner of Rima's lips. Yep... How not, after hearing the story of Andini who had received the support of her parents who allowed her best friend to continue school and forget about the matchmaking that was not desired by Andini.


After the lesson mark bell is over they finish all the books and stationery that there is on the table each.


"Din... Sorry yaa..." Rima stood staring at the blackboard in front of her school desk did not dare to look at Rima, because actually Rima felt heavy saying that.


"Tumben Rim, what's up..."


Andini stopped her busy hand from stuffing all the books into her bag and placed them back on the package book table she was still holding.


Andini stood holding the shoulder of her best friend.


"Where are you going Rim until you can't come back with me."


"I want to go back with Ida, he asked for anther to the bookstore first. I can't help Din."


Rima looked at the face of her best friend who looked disappointed. This time they were not together after school. Even with his friends Rima and Andini are always in their midst.


"Yes Rim said I was with each other."


Andini sat back down and immediately finished her book.


"Five... So nganter, right..." Ida's voice of their classmate was already standing waiting in front of their classroom door.


Rima nodded. Andini throws a smile at Ida who is also looking at her. Then they walked along the school hallway through the other classes to the gate.


"Dina... And you followed us up first." Rima stopped his steps before exiting the school gate while looking to the left of the slightly uphill road.


Ida and Andini looked at the road that Rima pointed at. Andini shook her head lethargicly as she looked at her two friends.


"I have to take a step back.. If it's too late Mimih nagged." Andini's pouting face looks funny in Rima's eyes.


"Who are you guys up, I'm crossing ya." Andini smiled towards Rima and Ida. The two of them just smiled to see Andini's mouth that was crossing the road.


After they wave each other's hands. Andini walked alone towards the house of Omanya. While Rima Bejalan accompanied Ida in the opposite direction to Rima.


"Andni... Wait!"


"Goddess..." Andini's voice shrieked after turning towards the voice that called her name.


Dewi, a second-grade child of her class sister who is also none other than Andini's cousin from Ibu Salamah. Andini Mimihnya. Demi ran closer to andini.


"Go home with ya." The voice of the goddess gasped for breath and held the hand of her cousin's sister without waiting for an answer from Andini.


They walked side by side down the asphalt road. The Goddess did not release her hand against Rima.


"Tumben went home with Wie.. Usually you take public transport."


The goddess simply smiled looking at Andini's face while adjusting her breathing. The oval-faced girl with long straight hair was slightly shorter than Andini's long ramhut. Clean white is no less beautiful by Andini.


"You want to be with me where Wie is. Our direction is different." Andini was still amazed by her cousin's sister.


"I want to go back to Mother's house, not back to uncle's house." said Dewi continues to walk along with Andini's steps.


"Ooh.. Yes already if that is so, I am sure there can be a chat until home, usually only until Oma's house with Rima." Andini smiled as she remembered her best friend who was not with her that afternoon.


The third of the road divides the asphalt road with the road that leads to the house of Omanya. Suddenly the Goddess stopped her steps. He asked Rima to stop first at the fork.


"But we want Wie here, it's hot. If rest first find a shady yuuk.." Rima pulled the hand of the Goddess who was still standing looking at public transportation that always stopped at the fork to drop off passengers.


Andini grumbled in her heart.


The goddess smiled at the sight of a public transport stopping. Seemed a happy twinkle from both of his eyeballs. Rima was more astonished to see the unclear attitude of his cousin's brother.


The goddess turned her body towards Andini while smiling and holding her back to walk slowly. Andini also followed the steps of the Goddess without saying or asking anything even though Andini is still confused by the behavior of her cousin.


They both walk but the steps of the Goddess are very slow and occasionally look back.


Andini did not care why the Goddess often looked back. Andini continued to walk while staring at the path that would be in her incandescent.


"Hi." The goddess took off her hand which had been holding her cousin's sister.


"Hey.." Andini was shocked to hear the voice of the man who returned his cousin's greeting.


"Rey... I can't think of seeing you here anymore." The goddess smiled and stopped her steps while holding Andini's hand so as not to continue stepping.


"Yes... How are you." Reyhan occasionally glanced at the indifferent Andini and just stood pecking beside his cousin sister.


"So this is what makes the Goddess act strange." Andini said to herself. Andini remembered Rima's best friend's story of real gossip. "Don't the Goddess that Rima referred to was my cousin Goddess not Dewi Nurmala and this is Reyhan's guy... The goddess wants to shoot Reyhan in front of me." Andini is stirring in heart.


"Din!" The goddess shook the hand of the Goddess who was staring at the passing vehicle in front of them.


"Yes Wie.." The goddess turned her gaze towards her cousin brother who was now standing beside Reyhan.


"eeehh... Even here daydream. This knows Reyhan. Rey this is Andini my cousin's sister as well as my upperclassman."


The Goddess smiled towards the tall handsome man standing straight beside her. A pure white skin with a symmetrical face and thick eyebrows looks this guy is so handsome. His hair that flaps nose curls that protrude that he is a descendant of blaster.


Seen a happy twinkle in both eyes of the Goddess who is being stared at by Andini. Andini still can't believe that her cousin's sister who is a year younger and still sitting in the First High School has dared to shoot a guy.


"Reyhan's.. Just call Rey." Reyhan stretched out his hand while smiling towards Andini.


"Andni.. You can call me here." Andini smiled towards Reyhan.


"I'll go back first, Wie." Andini turned to look at the Goddess and sniffled.


The goddess who had always directed her eyes to Reyhan's face as if she did not want to lose her eyes from the handsome guy who was beside her. To the extent that the Goddess did not hear what Andini said.


"Dew, I'm going home first." Andini touched the goddess's shoulder and brought her lips closer to her cousin's sister's ear.


"Huh yes Rey... Eh Din okay." The goddess was startled and turned her gaze towards Andini who was standing beside her right.


"Hem.." Andini and Reyhan smiled at each other.


"Why don't we just three, it's the same direction until the fork there."


Reyhan looked at Andini after referring to the road ahead of them. Reyhan is still twenty minutes on foot.


Andini did not reply, she just stared at the Goddess as if waiting for the approval of her cousin's sister. The goddess nodded back at Andini's gaze. But Andini could see a disappointed look on Andini's face.


But the Goddess could not refuse because indeed the path that the three of them were aiming for twenty minutes was still in the same direction.


"Oh so that Reyhan if you go home always take the same direction to the house of Rima." Andini muttered in her heart while continuing to walk with the Goddess who always invited Reyhan to talk.


"I'm Din first." Suddenly Reyhan's voice stopped Andini's steps.


Unbeknownst to Andini, they had reached the third where Reyhan took the left to go to his house while Dewi and Andini took the right direction towards Oma's house they both.


Andini nodded indifferently towards Reyhan. While Dewi looks reluctant to separate from Reyhan, seen Dewi slowed his steps.


"Rey... We can go home together again sometime...." The voice of the goddess shrieked while staring at Reyhan.


Reyhan simply smiled and passed away leaving the two of them behind.
