This was Arunika's first day alone without Nio after her sister had to go to special forces training.
Usually if Arunika is awake and cleaning up Nio's dorm, this time there is a different one.
Arunika is still wrapped in a blanket on her bed and she looks unperturbed even though outside there is the sound of soldiers practicing while singing yel-yel loudly.
Actually Arunika has woken up, but she prefers to stay in her bed.
“Who the hell?” arunika said in an annoyed tone because there was a knock on the door.
Slowly Arunika put away the blanket that wrapped herself and walked towards the sound of knocking on the door.
The sound of knocking on the door continued and stopped after Arunika said, “Yes, can you wait a minute?”
Arunika still had time to yawn when she was about to open the door, really like she was not.
“Lisa!?” Said Arunika in surprise.
“Yes, it's me,” Lisa replied with a smile.
Arunika rubbed her eyes and rearranged her messy hair with her hands.
Lisa she let in by saying, “Come in.”
“Thank you,” replied Lisa and happily entered the dorm room which is now temporarily inhabited by only one Arunika.
But Lisa did not come empty-handed, she brought a sports bag whose contents were certainly not sports equipment.
Could have been ‘mantan’ teacher history lesson is no other purpose of his arrival this morning.
Arunika allows Lisa to sit where she likes, while Arunika prepares drinking water for Lisa.
“Tumben once you are here,” said Arunika while covering her mouth wide open as it evaporated and gave her a cup of warm sweet tea.
“Hey, I heard Nio was training to be a special forces,” Lisa replied with a smile full of hidden intent.
Arunika just nodded while making up her bed that was still a mess.
“So why?, your chance of approaching Nio is reduced because he has to take training?” arunika's Goda surprised Lisa.
Without denying Arunika's words at all Lisa replied, “Lah that you already know.”
“Once again I tell you, I will not let go of Nio to any woman,” said Arunika with a defiant tone.
“Really?” lisa said as if accepting a challenge from Nio's sister.
“So, why are you here?”
“I know, you must be lonely right left Nio?”
After that Arunika approached Lisa and placed her head on her friend's shoulder. Lisa answered him by stroking Arunika's head gently.
“Only, I know that you don't want your sister left, right?” said Lisa who answered a nod by Arunika.
“So I'll stay here until Nio finishes his training, can I?”
“Hah, you'll be here for 4 months?” arunika said with surprise.
“So you really want to be a lonely ‘kakak’ huh?”
Hearing Lisa's words that are more similar to the adult film title, Arunika threw a blanket that she had not folded towards Lisa that made the two of them do a small fight.
So can I stay with you for 4 months?” ask Lisa again.
Lisa suddenly lunged at Arunika and hugged her tightly while saying, “aaa, thanks...”.
Arunika with her disgusted face tried to get rid of Lisa who hugged her tightly.

At the training site, Nio and the other soldiers who had already formed a Squad were lined up on the field to perform the welcoming ceremony and the introduction of the coach.
If in the total number of participants from the Company 406 underground cities of Karanganyar City are 60 participants. That number was enough to make 2 squads, and among these there were 5 female soldiers. All Nio knew from the female warrior was Arista, a member of his own Guild.
Except for all the soldiers who already knew Nio because he was the Squad Commander.
The soldiers were already impatient to start the ceremony due to the increasingly hot air. Although they are often ‘dijemur’ like this, but soldiers also have patience.
But Nio seemed to have no problem with this, because he was in the middle of the line so that he could be covered by other soldiers who were higher than him.
However Nio also protected the soldier behind him who was shorter than him from the heat of the sun. So it might be a function when a high ceremony has to be ahead.
Moments later one who greeted them, Major Sugeng, climbed the pulpit in front of the line.
He tapped on the microphone in front of him several times to check if it was working or not.
Behind him, as many as 25 soldiers from the Main Force were in the Special Unit Forces which functioned fully armed infantry troops.
“Alright, welcome young soldiers to Special Student Forces training. Not that only you from the underground city of Karanganyar City will follow this training. Our friends from the underground city of Semarang City will also undergo training here. For 4 months, the trainers of the Special Unit Forces will train you hard.” Sugeng said.
He continued his speech, “You should all be prepared to undergo training that will approach the limits of your body's endurance. As for the purpose of forming a special force of the Student Army is to create a young army that can control itself. Because young people like you will beat something that is not liked..”.
Sugeng's speech lasted for 30 minutes, during which he made all PPK candidates excited.
But there are other things that have not been said Sugeng, “At this training there is a selection system and ranking.The top 28 rankings are considered to pass and be appointed as part of the KDP. That means soldiers who are not in the rank will be declared not to pass. Therefore, devote all your energy and mind in this training. Are you ready to undergo heavy training in this place?”
“Ya, we are ready..!” replied the entire soldier resolutely and made a loud noise and made the surrounding citizens shocked.
Sugeng then came down from the pulpit, but that does not mean the event is finished.
The entire army has not been ordered to disperse, as well as 25 training soldiers who are seen staring intently at the line of young soldiers.
Nio who could see the sharp gaze of the warrior who was going to be his coach said in his heart, “Hopefully I can get out alive from here.”

“What sound is it?” said some soldiers who have been allowed to talk but have not been asked to just sit.
There was a yel-yel voice with a spirit tone from outside the parapet of the training ground.
Moments later we saw dozens of young soldiers from Kompi 32 underground city of Semarang City who also squat road.
After they all passed through the gate, the 10 coach soldiers doused them with water.
The number of soldiers from Company 302 who took training was 70. If in the number with 60 people from the Company 406 then it will amount to 130.
Of the 130, only 28 soldiers will be declared graduate and become part of the Special Student Forces.
All the soldiers were ordered to stand. But there was someone who surprised Nio.
A warrior who had a body that was much taller than his comrades. If you see the long hair, you can be sure if the soldier was a woman.
“Probably 190 cm tall,” murmured Nio.
“No-no, it must be 2 meters high,” replied the soldier who was beside him.
Nio said again, “There may be woy!”
“Could be her former volleyball athlete.”
