Abis crossed, Adit and I now walk on the sidewalk. It feels quite quiet when passing red lights at the crossroads of the road, other students who were on the road between us have also been spread in a different direction with us. The rain had stopped completely, and the twilight atmosphere after school was peaceful.
"So, what do you think?" Adit continued the conversation, the topic was still earlier, about the mystery of the ballot box of the OSIS chairman whose contents even exceeded the overall number of students who voted.
If Adit thinks there are people who are added to the contents so that the vote is repeated, but I have another opinion, according to me…
"Ehem," I cleared my throat, then went on to answer, "I think this happened purely because of someone's fault."
Adit twitched his forehead, raising one of his eyebrows. "You mean?"
The sound of birds chirping and vehicles passing by on the highway beside us accompanied our return journey, as usual.
"Yes, I think there may be a committee who committed a mistake in preparing the voting booth." I'm diem.
While walking along the rhythm of my footsteps, Adit with a serious face waiting for further explanation from me. Honestly, I'm a bit confused to explain it, but I will try to be well conveyed and understood Adit. Maybe I'll try to ask a question that will lead to a conclusion in my brain, so it's easy for Adit to guess what I mean.
"At that time there were no mistakes three voting booths and two boxes of sound paper shelters. Aren't you?"
Adit took the stage, "Yes, really. Continues to?"
"Well, why should there be two sound paper boxes? why not just one? After all, students who join nyoblos do not nyampe thousand or not all students in all nyoblos schools. There must be a golput, continue who did not enter that day there was also, not to mention the 12th grade students who had no right to vote because they wanted to graduate."
Adit, holding his chin, explained, "That's because one ballot box made by a child of craftsmanship is still not enough to accommodate the number of ballots that enter."
Hemm, Adit's answer does not match my prediction, there must be a certain alesan why it takes two ballot boxes. But I do not know if the cause is because it does not fit. I think instead to speed up the voting process, let the students who choose not long if there are two boxes available. Apparently because it doesn't fit.
"What kind of child-made box does an exkul handcraft fit?" Ask me.
"Three hundred ballots, it's already full, until it can't be entered again." Answer Adit.
"What is the total number of ballots?" Ask me again.
"Seven hundred and fifty color paper or sound paper." Adit was silent for a while before continuing, "While according to the OSIS members on duty, the list of students present who participated in the vote was seven hundred people, you know."
"That means fifty excess huh?" Ask me.
"Yeps, and I'm sure there are no errors in recording the presence and identity of students who nyoblos, because we as OSIS are very thorough." Obviously Adit.
Believe me if the supervisor of the OSIS election process is very tight, it's like a real presidential election, so the possibility of a mistake recording the name is almost impossible, maybe it happens, but I believe the possibility is a little. Because it's so tight.
"If the other shelter box is from a craft exul, where's the other one from?" I asked again, we have almost come to my conclusion or opinion.
"The box is from the school shed, yan."
"I guess it must be from there."
I know that because, it's a box made of zinc, while the child-made crafts are made of plywood.
The size is different, made by children of exkul kerajainan hands are smaller, while those taken from the warehouse are quite large, almost twice as large. In addition, the box made of zinc is very dusty and there is a spider-nest bit, so I suspect that it is from the warehouse and has not been plural in a long time, so I suspect, because it is an OSIS electoral ballot box that was used years ago.
"Do you know where you're from if it's a box from the school shed?" Ask Adit.
"Such dust, there are nest spiders too, even I'm a little coughing fit fit enter the voice box into it. From there I thought it was a box definitely from the school warehouse and never in anything until it was so dusty." I sighed continuously to Adit, "Partially why not clean it first before using it?"
"No, yan. You see we also do not think, kirain box of exkul handicrafts load, it turns out not, finally yes I rush to take it from the warehouse." The reply.
Oh, so.who took the box from the warehouse was precisely him yes, pantes.
After chatting while walking, we both ended up sitting in front of my house. We decided to stop and take off our shoes and sit on the porch bench, finishing the unfinished conversation.
"So, according to you why there can be an increase in the number of ballot papers that enter. Which should be seven hundred papers, instead of seven hundred and fifty, does it have anything to do with the ballot box I took from the warehouse?" Ask Adit while sitting next to me, leaning his back to the back of the long bench we were sitting on.
"Yes there are."
"Couldn't you? how's it?'
"The sound paper is the same mix that is in the zinc box." I said Adit, then continued, "Don't the previous years of the OSIS chairman election also use the same way, pke three-color paper with the same color?"
"Yes, anyway,." Adit was immediately dumbfounded, whether it was because of shock because he realized his mistake, or even still do not understand what I explained?
After a moment of silence, Adit said again, "So, the zinc box was also used for the OSIS election venue, too, keep it turns out in the box it turns out there are still the rest of the color paper from previous years which happened to number fifty, continues kemaren fitting people on nyoblos, and so on, the paper is mixed and it counts."
"Yep, mixed, any shape, size and color of the paper the same as before, if the mixture can be different."
"Yaelah,yan, I tell you, our school is a bit stingy, difficult to get funding activities. To save the budget, yes ngakali gitu, use color paper, from the first also that."
Adit realized that it was a mistake that was not careful when taking the box in the warehouse. He plans to apologize later at the OSIS meeting.
Seriate…
