OSSPECTIVES

\~Although a little crowded but in fact the sense that it is able to make me a little colorful.\~

Day 2's

“It has arrived, Neng.” Pak Gino's voice broke my daydream.

“I go in first, yes, Mr.”

“Siap, Neng.”

I rushed down from the car. I had to walk for a while, before arriving at the main hall of the campus. As usual I closed my eyes with black glasses and lifted the hood of the jacket. I do this to protect my eyes and face from the sun. It's pretty sunny today, most people love the warm sunshine in the morning, but I tend to avoid it instead.

“AYO CEPETAN!! LOGGING IN!! LOGIN!!” the screams of the senior brothers made me accelerate my footsteps towards the hall.

I don't seem to be alone. All the freshmen who were still outside, were running around and

he poured into the hall room. New students do not want to be punished by seniors for being late. Their punishment was sadistic.

“Good! Has everyone gathered? Please introduce my name, Sasha, the chairman of BEM this year. Greetings to know the brothers

guys.”

OSEP is a routine activity that occurs every new school year in a university. They divide new students into groups. This group contains 20 members from various faculties. Here we learn to get to know each other, work together, and please help during OSEK. Through OSEK we can get to know our close friends, our campus, and it is hoped that between faculty can always work well together later.

After a few minutes of remarks from the BEM chairman, we were finally divided into groups. I got group 13.

“Fuck you,” I think I'm upset.

“Hey, 13 right? A group with me?” a beautiful girl greeted me and showed me the draw.

“Ha..hai..” I nervously greet her. Honestly after the events in the past, I have never been friends with anyone other than my sister.

I looked at her, she was so shining with her black, straight, long hair. Her pretty face was adorned with tiny red lips, her eyeballs were also black and sparkling.

“Jessica, call me Jessi.” her hand raised to invite me to shake hands.

“Len..na.” I returned his hand. He's the first friend I have right now.

We sat in a big circle to introduce ourselves. One by one mention the name and faculty, as well as our respective majors.

My campus is a pretty elite campus. Only people with a lot of money or with great abilities can get into it. No wonder there are not too many students either. But the faculty is fairly complete, the facilities are okay, and the teachers are the people of choice.

There are several schools on this campus,

FAK EKONOMI, including Accounting, Management, and Business

FAK ART & DESIGN, covering Pure Art, Graphic Design, Interior Design.

FAK MEDICINE, covering General Medicine, and Dentistry.

FAK LITERATURE, covering English, Japanese, Chinese, and Javanese Literature.

It was time for Jessi to introduce herself.

“Jessi, Faculty of Economics, department of management.” Jessi smiled sweetly and showed off her neat rows of teeth.

“You are so beautiful! I envy the management kids, they are all fashionable and classy.” Nora, one of the girls in our group praised Jessi.

“My name is Cellena, I call Lenna, I'm Faculty of Economics, business department,” finally it's time I introduce myself.

“Wah economy child of the year is pretty-beautiful, yes.” praise them.

Huh uh?? WHAY?? Gorgeous?? Those words were ringing in my mind at this moment.

“You mean I'm beautiful?” my question convinced my hearing.

They looked confused and pitted their eyes against each other. They look confused with

my question.

“Is something wrong when we say you're beautiful? Does that offend you?” a guy started talking carefully, he seemed afraid to offend me.

“You are beautiful, Lenna, despite all your flaws.” Jessi smiled at me.

My eyes were glazed over, only this time was there someone who did not speak anything bad in front of me. Even if it's just a pleasant talk, I feel happy. Unknowingly my tears came down and dripped, I cried.

“Why crying? Cengeng very.” a guy approached and sat down beside me.

His words look annoying, but there's a point as well. Why would I cry because someone told me I was beautiful?

“My name is Davin Alexander, call me Alex, I'm a pure art major.”

“You're late, from anywhere?” ask the senior companion with a little emotion.

“Sorry today I have to accompany Prof. Bram in his exhibition.” Alex answered senior brother, but his face remained indifferent and still focused on his phone screen.

“Lain times you have to permission first.”

“Good.”

I saw him put his cell phone in a bag, his face turned out to be very handsome. His skin was yellow and clean, looking well groomed for a man's size. Her hair was reddish brown, slightly long and wavy. Highlight his eyes were sharp, and his lips were completely red. Until I thought she was putting on lip tint.

“Fins V-BTS, yes?” Jessi whispered something into my ear.

“Who is it?” ask Jessi.

Jessi looked at me in astonishment, “You don't know BTS?”

I shook my head again. This time Jessi immediately opened her phone and typed on the page of a search site.

"V-BTS." type it.

There appeared a picture of a super handsome guy and also super cute, with an oriental face filling the screen of his phone.

“Huge looking,” muttered when I saw that photo.

“Tuh, right.. Canneries? Gaul's why. It's called idol.”

“Iya.. cool guy, sing, dance, boyband.” Jessi clenched her hands, then moved following the movements of the crowd while dancing. Unknowingly I laughed slowly at her funny behavior.

“Hey... you two! Don't fuss!” scold a senior.

“Good, Brother.” Jessi grunted annoyedly.

We enjoyed finishing OSEK today well. I think time goes by quickly. Even the bad things I was afraid of didn't happen. They didn't glare at me like my old SD friends, or feel shy and shunned about me because I was different. They thought I was the same as them, chatting, laughing, and even eating my desk. I feel happy now. May I feel this happiness forever?

“Alex please write your phone number here. We want to create a group chat.” I put a paper and a ballpoint pen on him. Without hesitation he took out a ballpoint pen and wrote down a row of numbers.

I looked at his handsome face. I was amazed to find no blemish on his face. The color is really shining, the red hue is painted soft on both cheeks. Want it to feel like I pinched her cheek, saw it was real or a doll?

“This.”

“Still, yes, Lex.” I turned my face when our eyes met.

YOU MORON!! Why am I turning away? Already turned away, from the shame of mending I rushed to leave him. What I was looking for I got.

I put all the kids' cell phones in the group chat. The plan was to create a barbeque party for the night of familiarity, the last night before OSEK was finished.

Day 3's

I was getting ready to go to college more excitedly this morning. This time I felt the urge and

feeling happy when you want to do something immediately. If not wrong, people call it EUPHORIA?

My joy raised a question mark, but also a sense of relief in the hearts of my parents. After kissing Papa and Mama's cheeks, I ruffled Arvin's hair and rushed into the car.

“Until, Neng.” smile Mr. Gino. I replied to her too with a smile that was no less sweet.

I ran a little when I entered the campus area, this time I did not sit alone. There are group friends waiting for me. There's Jessi, Nora, Jovan, Alex, and others, they're all waiting for me.

“You look excited?” Jessi gave me a flyer.

“What is this?” ask her.

“Extracurricular form.”

“Oh.. I have never entered any eskul before because I was always home schooling,” a flat tone came out of my vocal cords, slightly implying a sense of disappointment.

“You can't do outdoor activities - right? Choose only the indoor one.” Jessi tapped the form sheet with a ballpoint pen.

“Librarian, dancing, band, chorus. Try to choose one of them.” Jessi's voice is back.

“Yes, let me consider first.”

“Painting, you can choose eskul painting.” Alex's voice is clearly heard behind me.

“I can't draw, let alone paint,” I replied while trying to smile as naturally as possible.

To be honest, I was quite happy when Alex couldn't talk first like this. But I was also upset that I couldn't help but have that expression clearly painted over my face.

“It's a pity that we can meet often.” Alex passed by and mingled sitting with the guys in our group.

What did he say just now? Meet often? Does he expect to see me often? Or is it just a casual conversation between friends? I don't know why my heart is beating faster than usual. There was a sense of happiness but a little tightness in my chest.

“Len. You're not pa-pa, are you? What's the heat?” ask Jessi.

“Ngak, coke. I go to the toilet first.”

I avoided Jessi's gaze and rushed into the toilet. I saw my face on the mirror

washbasin. My white skin turned a little red. Red but not because of the sun as usual. I felt my cheeks blushing, my chest still tight, my heart still pounding. It felt like this time I felt a vibration like this. It felt new this time as well I felt my cheeks warm as blood flowed fiercely within them. Yes, God, what is this that appears in my heart? Although a little claustrophobic but in fact it can make me a little colorful.

“Cheeeersss.”

Klang..

The sound of the clanking of glasses when clashing and laughter filled the atmosphere of the macrab tonight. We make barbeque beef and grilled corn. The boys bought a few bottles of beer and soda as friends to eat. I smiled as the children laughed enjoying the cheerful atmosphere.

“Hore!! Free from punishment and senior maki scolding!” Nora a maba (new student) majoring in the interior raised her glass. He gulped down all the contents until he finished in one drink. Everyone cheered as Nora finished finishing the entire glass.

“Giliranku.” Jessi picked up a drink and took it.

Jessi is very sociable and close to a lot of people. Not like me who was in the crowd just sat still and tied my legs with my hands.

“Come Lenna..! Enjoy your drinks too.” cried Jessi from the middle of friends.

“No, I can't drink. I drink soft drinks only.” I lifted the soft drink can that was lying next to me.

I tied my legs and put my chin on my knees.  My eyes began to search for Alex's whereabouts that had not been seen from earlier.

“When he seems to be a cheerful child, why not join in gathering?” I let out a breath.

I finally decided to take a little walk and stretch my body. The air tonight is pretty cold

turns out. Around the campus area are many children from other groups. They also sat around and spent the night familiarizing with their respective groups.

Without me telling me, my eyes are looking for Alex in this crowd. His figure that was so colorful must have been conspicuous among this crowd. But I still can't find it. I ended up stranded on a bench in a lakeside park. The atmosphere seemed calm, the lights of the park reflected in the lake water that moved slowly. I enjoy the night breeze on the edge of this sizable artificial lake. Around the lake there is a garden decorated with many shady trees.

Some senior brothers and new students also sit by the lake, some are busy with their laptops, some are busy chatting, until dating.

I enjoyed the wind that hit my face, for a moment my heart became very calm.

“Not Bad,” I said softly.
