"Bismillah... You definitely can" muttered Lili trying to encourage herself after hearing her name being called.
Although both of his parents have not reached the campus, but the presence of his friends makes him a little calm. This means that he is not alone when undergoing a thesis trial. Lili walked into the room with such a serious face. Even in her heart, Lili was already shaking violently.
Lili faced the four lecturers who would test her script. He looked straight ahead, unwilling to look at Aldo. Moreover, Aldo whose face looked serious and there were no smiles at all.
"Lilian, please present the results of your research. Briefly present the key points. If it gets long-winded, we will skip immediately" said Ms. Alifia firmly.
Not yet he started his presentation, but the pressure was already felt. Moreover, the words of Alifia's mother who seemed like she was threatening. Lili sighed then opened the file for her presentation. Lili calmly presented all the results of her script.
Even some of the questions that seemed to corner him managed to answer well. More questions asked by Mother Alifia and Aldo. Both of them seemed to continue to corner him with detailed questions. Luckily, he learned everything.
"Congratulations Lilian, you are declared to pass" Aldo said firmly after all questions were answered by Lili.
Hearing Aldo's words suddenly made Lili's eyes teary. Lili scooped up her already reddened face. He didn't expect to get through all this well. Even a lot of questions that trap, but easily he can get through.
"Thank you sir, ma'am" said Lili who then shook her fourth hand.
After getting the signatures of all his lecturers, Lili immediately walked out of the courtroom. Actually Aldo wanted to congratulate him directly and alone, but he still had to keep everything a secret. Lili saw her parents, friends, Kei, Mama Nei, and Papa Tito there were happy.
Lili immediately scattered in her arms and cried haru. Both of her parents smiled and hugged Lili. He was sure that Lili came out of the hot room with happy news.
"Mom, papa... Lili succeeded. Lili graduated" exclaimed Lili vaporized her happiness.
"Alhamdulillah... Just take the next professional education" said Mama Ningrum.
Lili just nodded her head. He could no longer reveal anything. Which he felt very relieved and happy. After hugging her parents, turn to her friends.
"Happy Lilies" exclaimed Fina and the others.
"Thank you for supporting me all this time" Lili said with a sincere smile.
A bouquet of flowers was handed over to Lili from her friends. They also took photos together. Both of Lili's parents had prepared a special gift for her son at home. Kei and Aldo's parents are still silent because they do not want to disturb the moment of togetherness of Lili with his friends.
"Ma, pa, Kei.." call Lili after the girl has finished capturing the moment with her friends.
Kei and Aldo's parents who were talking to Mama Ningrum immediately shifted their eyes. They also immediately hugged Lili tightly. They are happy that his future son-in-law can finally get through this phase.
"Congratulations, son. Next there are still the next phases so do not be complacent with this section. Do not forget, soon you will get married" said Mama Nei with a little whisper at the end of his sentence.
Lili just nodded her head understandingly. Afterwards Lili looked at Kei who had been silent. But Lili knew that Kei really hoped that the girl would embrace him. Especially now Kei brings a doll with clothes and toga like at graduation.
Lili could only chuckle softly hearing what Kei said. Because the hope uttered by Kei was even like the wish of the child when he would become his mother later. But Lili was very happy with that innocent remark.
"Thank you, baby, for the gift. Thank you for do'ain mama" said Lili who immediately hugged Kei.
Everyone who was there except Fina was shocked by the call Kei had pinned on Lili. It was only the first time they heard Kei calling Lili with a mama call. Even yesterday when he was in the mansion there were no such calls.
"Let's let Lili explain. You must be confused, right?" lili asked with a smile towards her parents and Aldo.
They just nod their heads. Soon they capture a photo moment together in the campus environment. After everything was done, Lili took everyone to the nearest restaurant for a meal.
"Come guys... Eat for free" cried Fina when she knew her best friend would treat her.
"Are we sure we can come?" ask Naomi, Fina's best friend.
"hey are. Lily herself brought us all along. Come on, eat for free it's not to be rejected. This chuckle" said Fina.
They all nodded their heads then followed Lili and her family. Wearing each other's vehicles immediately they drive it in a luxury restaurant. Moreover, Papa Dedi had booked a special room.

"This is our gratitude because Lili has passed the thesis exam. Thank you because soon Lili will also get married. About a few months away" said Papa Dedi told Lili's friends this happy news.
Fina could only smile at the announcement. He did not know when the happy plan was. It's just that from the way Aldo proposed to his best friend, surely soon the event took place. His other friends were surprised by it.
"Gee... Congratulations, Li. Not expecting that. Just finished the trial to get married. By the way whose candidate? Know dong" said Naomi representing her other friends.
"You know the candidate Lili. Soon the person will come here" said Mama Ningrum.
They just nodded their heads. Although in the heart is very curious about who the candidate is meant by Lili's parents. It must be a person not far from the campus because of the cluenya they know this man.
They ordered food from the menu. Even Lili asked her friends to order a lot. He was happy so he gave up his savings to treat his friends.
"Excuse me.." said someone who had just arrived.
Everyone turned their heads and the eyes of Lili's friends were shocked to see who was coming. Surely Fina felt ordinary because she already knew Lili's relationship with the man who had just come. It was Aldo who came and sat next to his parents. The atmosphere in the room became a little awkward.
"You were curious about Lili's candidate? Aldo is her future husband Lili, who is none other than a lecturer at your campus" said Mama Ningrum made them very surprised.
