MELODY OF LOVE: Arrived Marriage
Graduation 1
Time skips.. Graduation Yudha, Alvin, and Yura..
All students who just got their bachelor's degree immediately rushed out full of excitement.
The learning struggle is not in vain. Learning 3-4-5 years even 6-7 years paid off. Graduating from college is the main dream of high-level academicians.
Is that as happy as it feels? Isn't graduating and becoming a scholar enough with a piece of paper and a plaque? Yes it could be. indeed that's the real proof of college graduation.
A piece of paper called I-J-A-Z-A-H.
DIPLOMAS.
But even though it is only in the form of a piece of paper, the struggle to get it is extraordinary. It takes years, it takes back and forth thesis revision, it takes the sacrifice of time, energy, and also material.
It is only natural that graduation is a pride in itself.

Over there, the family rejoiced in the success of his son. There, friends and relatives huddled each other, dividing flowers, and gifts. At the far end of there, I don't know, it's crowded. It looks like from the mapala club that is always excited. In the front yard, near the exit, is there a proposal? Graduated from college, to get married? Whatever, people's business too. Left corner gedug, hooo, there's a couple of graduates and graduates who kiss. Ask for pancen.
What is clear is a lot of people, a lot of florists, a lot of photographers, a lot of cars, a lot of what. Like termites just coming out of their nests.
Ask for pancen plaques: ask to be beaten
“Yudha-kun, congratulations yes.” Yura said, she showed off her best smile.
“Ah Yura, congratulations on your graduation.”
“You took a picture together?” Yura showed her action cameraman.
Yudha nodded. Yura was happy because of it, she then asked their classmates to take pictures of them. Yura embraces Yudha's arm. Yudha doesn't seem to be bothering about it.
Cekk..
Some of the photos were recorded in Yura's camera memory. It's a sweet memory. Yudha is a person who does not like to be photographed. Very other, almost every day in front of the camera.
After the photo was taken, Yudha was more silent.
"Look Yudh, you close your eyes in this photo! Let's repeat it better!" Said Yura.
"..." - ".Yudha seemed unfocused on Yura. His hearing and vision were distorted.
Yura knew that even though Yudha was in front of him, he was with her, but Yudha's eyes were not here. Yudha is looking for someone.
"It's always like that!" Upset Yura.
Neglected, huh? Any more? Yura felt that her heart was currently so sick. Couldn't it be that for just a moment, Yudha was watching him like before? Like that moment where they could express their warm feelings? Does such a time not exist for him and Yudha? Isn't that so cruel? Having been together since childhood for so many years, then suddenly becoming cold like this?
“What are you looking for, Yudha? I'm right in front of you. Don't you realize that your attitude hurts me?”
Yura saw Melody approaching from behind Yudha. Yura reflexes hugged Yudha. Hugged very tightly. Very closely.l
“Yura?”
Shocked Yudha.
“Just a minute. I have a birthday soon, and you will forget it this year. For the first time, let me ask for a gift from you.” Yura's whisper was very slow.
Yudha. Right, Yura's birthday soon. That day was a very precious day for Yura. He really knows about his birthday. His feelings were turbulent if he remembered that day.
Yura saw Melody walking away. Melody's knee-length dress in white was still clearly visible behind the crowd. Yura could see Melody meeting Alvin and they walked together towards the side of the graduation building. Yura gave me a smile. There was a proud sensation in his heart. Is this a taste of ‘win’? why does it feel so addictive? Should he add to his sense of it again one day?
“Yudha-kun?” Yura released her embrace to Yudha.
“Hn?”
“Come to the side of the building!”
“I'm here only.”
“I saw Melody-san walking over there, I think she was looking for you!”
Yudha widened her eyes. Yura had guessed that Yudha was looking for Melody. He immediately changed his expression as he called out Melody's name. Yudha is now very predictable. Oh, it's just so pissing.
"Melody again. Again he."
They walked together to the side of the building.
"Where's the kid? Shouldn't it be on the side of the building with Alvin? I want Yudha to see their togetherness!"
Yudha looks disappointed that Melody is not around.
But Yura was still very sure of his vision. He invited Yudha to walk far behind the building. It's closer to the parking lot.

Melody and Alvin..
“Gomen yes Melody, I invite you to walk away from the graduation building.” Alvin.
Melody shook her head. He wanted to stay away from the graduation building. It doesn't feel right if he is currently wandering near the graduation building.
“It's okay, Senpai. It feels so noisy in there. By the way, congratulations Senpai, finally, doctor sir.” Melody smiled warmly.
“I still have to take advanced study. Have you met Yudha?”
He remembered the incident when Yudha and Yura hugged. “Not yet, it is very difficult to find one person among that crowd.”
“If she has long hair like you, then it will be very easy to find her.”
“Stop joking, Alvin-senpai! If he hears her, finish.”
“Hahaha, will not.”
“Oh yes.” Melody took something from the jinjingya bag. “This flower for Senpai.”
"?" Alvin receives a bouquet of fake flowers from Melody. Understandably, it is currently autumn, it is very difficult to find living flowers.
“And this, a gift for senpai.”
Alvin received a panda doll in a toga suit complete with graduation accessories.
“Panda doll?”
Alvin Mumbled.
“When I was looking for a present yesterday with Mia, I saw the panda doll in the display case. I feel that it is very similar to Senpai. It feels like the doll hypnotized me to take it. Yes already, hehehe.”
Clearly Melody was accompanied by her sweet whimper.
“So you liken me to a panda, heh?”
Melody grin. “Maaaff.”
He put both hands together to apologize.
Alvin smiles. How could he possibly be angry at Melody, right? “Haah, alright, arigatou.”
And they laugh together. Until finally there was a wind blowing quite hard. Flying dry foliage. The dry leaves popped into Melody's hair. Gentlely, Alvin took the leaf and showed it to Melody.
“I don't think nature would agree if I equate Senpai degan boeka panda, hahhaha.” Melody received the dried leaves from Alvin's hands.
Suddenly...
“Melody!”
Yudha's voice sounded. Makes Melody and Alvin turn to the source of the sound.
Melody saw Yura standing beside her husband. Their faces look flat. Yudha even became sagat flat. Real cold.
Already know, Melody indeed often met Yudha with a cold stoic face like that.
Yudha walked towards Melody and Alvin. He then swept Melody's hand and walked quickly leaving Alvin and Yura who were staring at their departure with faces difficult to interpret.
Yudha did not even say hello, did not say goodbye, did not ask permission. He just came and took Melody away.
Melody who did not understand the intention of Yudha who suddenly just took her hand and took her ‘kabur’ can only follow the steps of Yudha who was getting faster and faster. He even had to run to compensate.
Alvin turned his head towards Yura who was standing not far from him.
“Your plan won't work.” Alvin smiled then left Yura who seemed to be trying to regulate her emotions.
