"Sit, Ran."
Invite Mr. Galih to sit on the sofa near the window facing the mattress that I saw when I entered. It looks like this is indeed a room, the roar is quite wide and seen from the size of the mattress that seems like the size of King, judging from the aroma of the room that feels clean and comfortable, there is also a wardrobe, there is also a wardrobe, and some male prints like anime miniatures and cars, there are some books scattered around, and there is a small sofa that turns against the window and memorizes towards the mattress.
"This is the room, sir?". I was a little hesitant and embarrassed.
"Yes, this is my room."
"Ooooh...". I replied after I found out, it became even more clumsy to know this is Mr. Galih's room.
Mr. Galih picked up on the signal that Rani was uncomfortable, then tried to explain.
"Children also often pass by here" explained Mr. Galih while pointing his chin towards the hallway
"they like maen in the hallway. There's a guitar on the piano next door, too".
"Ooh yes sir". I replied with a shameless cry because my strange thoughts were read by Mr. Galih.
while smiling ignorantly, again!, Galih protested, "Kok still calling sir? Call him here. If on campus call mas also not papa. There are also a lot of students who call me.".
"S2 students but!" I can't believe Mr. Galih has a spare sense of humor, too.
"Haha... Yes, the lecturer".
Yess! I can finally call her by calling her dear. Uh... Distance huh? Haha. Yes, by calling mas, at least one step composer is the closest than others who still call sir. Aye right?.
***************************************
Just a few minutes here, I saw many sides of Mr. Galih that are not visible when only briefly interacting on campus.
While on campus, Mr. Galih looks moody, ignorant, and even looks a little arrogant. But once at the Library, like seeing someone else, Mr. Galih turned warm and humorous. It seems easier to reach.
In the room mas Galih explained the ins and outs of the library and its managers. He told me how the beginning of this library was built, and explained the jobdesk and the schedule I would do here.
I have to record the flow of the entry and exit of the book, and the guard schedule can be adjusted to my lecture schedule. I was given the choice to take care of it every day in the afternoon after coming home from college, or full from morning until noon on the weekend. I choose to try both. Besides because I myself have no other activities to do after college, I did it to trial and error matching which schedule would be suitable for my daily life. Plus there is a bonus too, so you can often meet my handsome lecturer. Azeek. Haha. Yes, there are modes!.
Because of the kindness of my heart to try the schedule every day guard, even so dapet bonus mas Galih want to occasionally take me from campus to here if the schedule is right after he finished campus activities. He did it because he knew I didn't have a vehicle. Who wouldn't want to?. Who knows also love can bloom because of Tresno Jalaran Seko Ra Ono Sing Liyo. Haha.
Amidst his explanation I asked whose house this was. And Galih explained that this was his grandfather's house. His grandfather is now home. But at that time, because the grandfather was old and began to be sickly then he accompanied him in this house while helping the management of this house. Anywhere this big house certainly requires maintanance that is not easy.
One of the things that eventually moved Mr. Galih to create a library for children was when his grandfather lost his grandson who had died in a plane crash.
At that time his grandfather's soul was very shaken, because according to Pak Galih's explanation the health condition of the grandfather was getting higher but since Mr. Galih opened the library and many children who often play in this house, my grandfather's health began to improve. Although soon the grandfather died, because the grandfather was also quite old, it is estimated that he reached 95 years old when he died. The exact age cannot be known, because at the time of his grandfather's birth, there has been no qualified civil registration. The calculation of the age of the child at that time relied on the memory of the parents and juxtaposed with what events were currently happening.
"Kok can there be any operational costs, mas? Do kids pay for a book here?".
"No, that's not the cost. We have regular donors and there are CSR funds from several MSME companies around here. That's why we can continue to collect his books. And we also often give donations to other perpus inside and outside Jogja."
"You saw that there were many photos on display at some point of the perpus? Those are pictures of us doing the race. There are poetry reading competitions, telling stories competitions, even gymnastics competitions and 17 and 17 races exist."
"From the CSR funds we make these activities. We make for a children's training event to hone public speaking and k3 confidence".
"A lot of it, too, sir... Uh mas.... The activity is here. I think it's exciting."
"So, I'm not wrong to bring you here? I know you'll love it." said Galih.
"Do you know me?". Tanyaku.
Mas Galih did not reply, just a glance glanced at me and again, a mysterious smile. Hmmmm... I'm starting to get that same habit.
Instead of answering my question, mas Galih instead took me out to the pantry located in one corner of the perpus room to grab a snack. At a glance when the road to the hallway that turned out to be in the direction of the Galih mas room, I had a glimpse of there was a kind of small kitchen in the corner. It turns out that room is what mas Galih calls a pantry perpus. In the pantry everyone is free to take whatever food is provided. I see the food supply is also quite complete. There are many fruits in the refrigerator that the door is transparent, do you know the refrigerator display brand famous drinks in red? you know if you know.
In addition to the refrigerator, there is also a microwave. There are various kinds of food here there are several kinds of biah such as papaya, salak, and I see there is corn as well as it seems, and there is chocolate, chocolate, as well as nuts and snack snacks are also available in jars placed on the island that seem to function as a barrier also between the pantry and the perpus room. But the drink is only available mineral water stored in the dispenser that has a choice of hot, and cold.
"We're just ready for foods that don't contain a lot of sugar and micin. I want the kids to get used to eating healthy snacks."
"I also only provide mineral water at the dispenser".
"But sometimes we eat other foods too. Not limited in type. Anyone is free to bring food here to eat together."
Mas galih explained carefully.
"Well cool is also the concept. Tau that was I brought a snack also here so rame. Okay next time." My solute.
Mas Galih nodded in agreement to my idea.
**************************************
No feeling, the time has set at 11:00 WIB. Because from the morning a bit hasty because the handsome lecturer mas who turned out to be mysterious pretentious came too soon from the assumption, Rani so did not have time to eat breakfast. At this hour, his stomach began to rumble. And he rang at a bad time at all. In front of the pantry, where in front of me was the handsome lecturer bin ignorant, and there were some children who were also cool to sit reading on chairs and sofas around the pantry. Where the sound of my stomach is like a bawuran sekampung, very loud. Oh allah... Very embarrassed, I want to suddenly have a pool in front of me so I can hide my face.
"Well, I think there's something too late. If detected from the sound, the same chocolate corn passing, will not be able to nahan. It must be tongseng or gudeg yu Djum if it sounds like that. Haha". As for Galih in front of me and the other kids, they made me laugh. I, too, was forced to laugh. New kid can't do it yet, right??.
Mas Galih finally took me out for lunch.
