“Thank you very much, Sir. Sorry, I interrupted the break, Mr.”, Rian said during a visit to the Dean's house.
Soon there is a prestigious paper competition in the field of Physics. Many of the students interested in science want to take part in this competition. In addition to adding a CV, it is said that this international-scale competition can be one of the soft tickets to be able to pass the selection of universities abroad.
Rian had to process all administrations so that their students could enter this competition. Unlike the other science competitions, this competition has the most complicated administrative requirements.
Plus, this is the first time their campus has entered this competition. As a first-time participant, Rian had to submit several requirements and some required the Dean's signature and approval.
“Hah. But it can be that the house person exaggerates - exaggerates. I have to stay home for a week again. In fact, my work can be said to have piled up like a mountain.”, said the Dean half vent.
Rian smiled knot.
“That's the sign, many are worried about you. Oiya, I can conclude that you are not participating for the art performance tomorrow?”, asked Rian to remember the sponsorship question asked by the Chairman of BEM Faculty today.
“Ah... tomorrow is the show? I remember it was a week away. Even though I am old, I love music. I really hope to be able to follow this event.”, said the middle-aged man sipping his warm drink.
“Night Pa.”, said someone appeared from the main gate.
Looks like one of Mr. Dean's sons. In addition to greeting his papa, the man also lowered his head for a while to greet Rian. He was older than Rian and wore a white shirt.
“Eh, uh.. Mumpung you exist. Papa's permission tomorrow, yes. Papa wants to see an art show on campus. Just once. Just briefly. Gapapa, right?”, asked Mr. Dean to block his son who had just passed by using a closed long umbrella that was not far from his hand range, he said,
“Papa is - there are. Heal first, pa. Just joined an art show. Feels young aja.”, said his Son.
“Bby lah.. Just a moment doang.”, Mr. Dean again asked his son.
Rian smiled thinly. The shadow of his father flashed back to his mind when he saw the interaction between the Dean and his son. Rian did not expect, their guyonan and mouth fight that sucks, Rian misses him very much.
In the past, there was also a time when Rian was like this with his papa.
“Bby, as long as papa has a guard. Claudia tomorrow there is a class, ga?”, asked the son of the Dean finally succumbed to his papa appeal.
“Nah. tomorrow papa take Claudia with you. He also has a lot of refreshing. Workaaa continues.”, Dean comments.
“Papa main concludes. Ask first, pa. If he's busy, ask someone else for help. Brother Sera or Mas Ken.”
“Mild.. In front of me too. Rian can take care of papa, really. Already you're in, dinner, shower, and rest.”
“So, come me. Wh why? I need to say a welcome, yes indeed?”, asked the Dean excited after getting a green card to come to the Art Stage.
Everyone at home is worried about him. He respected it and asked before leaving.
“It looks like so, sir. I just sent a message to ask if you will be present tomorrow.”, replied Rian.
“Ya. Confirmed I am present. If you need a word of greeting, I will be present at the beginning. Later you will tell me.”, said the Dean.
“For a moment sir, sorry to have a phone.”, said Rian stood up and moved away from there briefly to pick up the phone.
“Halo?”, ask Rian.
The man has already seen the name ‘Raka’ on his phone screen. He was a little confused as to why Raka contacted him.
“Halo good night Mr. Rian. Introduce me Kirana, Mr.”, said the voice of a girl from across the phone. Rian knew and knew this voice.
‘Kirana. Why did he call use hape Raka and even introduce himself?’
“Sorry sir, I want permission to ask if Mr. Rian is still at the Dean's house?’, asked Kirana asked with a courtesy - the courtesy.
The use of the word he chose to string the sentence was very different from usual.
Rian scrunched his forehead.
“Why are you?”, asked Rian in his casual style.
“Guys, briefly yes.. I went there first.”, Kirana said giving information to Raka and Radit so that she could chat in a quieter place for a while.
In fact, the place that is now is very quiet. Radit and Raka were of course astonished. Especially Raka who seemed to be thinking.
“Sister Rian to the Dean's place, right? Brother Rio the info. A message from Rio, has it been delivered? We need the final decision tonight so that tomorrow's preparation is maximal.”, Kirana said in a serious tone.
“You're again on campus? With Raka? This is the Raka phone number that I saved on my hape.”, Rian said inquiring.
‘Aduh...where do I know he nyimpen mobile number Raka all. By the way I.’, Kirana's a little freaked out.
“Keep why Raka's phone? Reasonable dong. I am his girlfriend.”, Kirana said while leaning on a pole at the end of the sidewalk.
Kirana turned her gaze for a moment towards Raka and Radit who were chatting. I hope they are really chatting. Raka and Radit are two very rare people in one frame.
“Not so long ago you did not comment anything - what if alluded to about your relationship with Raka.”, asked Rian who still has not answered the core questions of Kirana.
“Thank you to someone who realized I was better off holding the present than the past. Sorry sir, I just want Mr. Dean to be present tomorrow or so that I can finalize the line-up of the art stage tomorrow.”, Kirana suddenly began to be formal again because Raka walked towards him.
“....”, Rian was briefly silent.
“Hn. The Dean is here tomorrow. But noon. So it is likely that he could not give a welcome at the beginning. If necessary, he suggested a greeting in the middle. He can not be long and want to watch the appearance of the past especially the traditional smell.”, explained Rian to Kirana.
“Good, Sir. Thanks for the info, Mr.”, Kirana hung up on her phone that night.
“Nih.”, said Kirana handing the phone to Raka.
“Udah?”, ask Raka.
“Hn.”, Kirana replied briefly.
“Continue, how, Ran? Mr Dean can attend?”, Radit asked in a serious tone.
Raka frowned and muttered inwardly that Radit was serious.
“So, Dit. But I think we should change the line-up again, deh.”, Kirana said.
Then he briefly explained the information he had just received from Rian.
“Ya. You have the file on your phone, right? Let's discuss it for a while here. Let clear and children who want to go back can also return cepet.”, Radit suggested.
Raka's forehead immediately frowned. ‘I, You? Crazy too yes cowok’, Raka comments in heart.
For the affairs of the event, Radit is fast responsive so it can be relied upon. But for the mesh stocking business, he was also at the very top.
“Laptop I'm in dalem anyway. Would you like to go back to the hall?”, asked Kirana.
Kirana can be said to have been a little accustomed to the Radit language as if she was still approaching it. Though, it was obvious - there was clearly Raka beside him. Although Raka is only the girlfriend of the temple Kirana.
“Bby, in dalem aja then. Raka, aren't you coming back tonight? Tomorrow morning comes again. I think your team-mates are already behind so you are here.”, asked Radit.
Of course Raka knew Radit wanted to get him out of here.
“You sure you want to nginep? Don't you come home with me? Tomorrow morning I pick up.”, said Raka who was suddenly warm and sweet to Kirana.
Even the man held Kirana's shoulder deliberately so that he could face her. Kirana's eyes immediately rounded.
‘What - what the hell.’, he said in his heart while giving a signal to Raka.
‘Mending should not be strange - strange deh lo.’, I guess - think the gaze of Kirana's eyes say so.
Raka smiled thinly.
“OK. I'm back first. You heart, heart, yes. Tar night call me.”, said Raka satisfied to look at Radit while walking towards the parking lot.
‘Udah crazy times well it's people. His behavior is random. Belom also how many days he nyuekin me. Now pretentious - sweet-ass.’, Kirana's face flushed red from embarrassment with Radit.
Even though he doesn't like Radit. But, Kirana was worried now that - if Radit thought his courtship style was like that. Kirana could only laugh awkwardly after Raka left.
Radit and Kirana head to the hall as planned and gather the show children who still look busy with their respective properties.
“So, Ran. If Mr. Dean wants it that way. My suggested line-up is gini rich. Lo, can have a lot of time for the opening band at the beginning. Keep in the middle, when more students want to eat, you can enter this same event this one, where the ranks of lecturers whose generations are different from us, prefer.”, and so on, clearly Radit gave the briefing.
Not just Radit and Kirana. But there are also some other show kids. The majority of children of the event decide to stay on campus because there are still some properties that they have to prepare.
**********
Tong Ting
There was a message on Kirana's phone as the girl was busy cleaning her face in one of the campus hall toilets. Kirana ignored him. He was busy and his hands were wet.
Kirana decided to further brush her teeth and put some lotion on after that.
Tong Ting
There was another message coming in shortly after. Kirana still ignored him. Since it was just a chat, he didn't pique it too much. It can also be answered, he thought. Kirana had also contacted her mother and she must have gone to bed by now. So, there was little chance that message was from her mother.
“Ran, are you done? Yuk, back. Other children are ready - ready to sleep.”, said one student who is also a staff for this event.
He was not a single major with Kirana, so he only met during the preparation of this event only.
“Oh.okay. Kids show?”, asked Kirana to take a towel and put it on her shoulder.
Kirana painstakingly stuffed her toiletries back into a small clear bag with the ‘Morning Routine’ sentence motif on the cover.
“Children - children show still in the hall. The girl is sleeping. The guy's still ready for some more property. Chances are they will sleep in the hall.”, he explained.
“Hm. okay - okay.. Yes it is yuk. It started to quiet as well.”, Kirana said with a faint smile.
She knew her friend was already scared because it was just the two of them in that toilet. Kirana. But, the two of them acted as if they were ordinary so as not to overdo it.
The female students who were staff of the event stayed in one of the rooms in the hall. A kind of multipurpose room that they had already conjured into a room. As for male students, they took the only versatile room located at the top of the hall.
There were about 10 female students staying overnight including Kirana and her female friend named Dwi. Dwi is the staff of the sponsorship department. Only the two of them had yet to sleep while the others were already well-prepared for having prepared this since morning.
“Ran, you really ama Raka road, yes?”, ask Dwi arrived - arrived.
Kirana who was checking her phone was immediately shocked.
“Haha why arrived - arrived even nanyain that anyway? Have slept. Tomorrow our battle begins.”, replied Kirana subtly refused to discuss the topic thrown by her friend.
Message 1
You're on campus? Do you get approval from campus management? The Radit ama Raka nginep too?
Message 2
Ran, did you call mom? The place where boys and girls are separated, right?
Message 3
Ran?
‘Ngapain Brother Rian kepo really? Tumbens. The feeling of fame - yesterday she was so cute.’, thought Kirana in heart while rereading the messages.
‘Wait, how the contents of the message rich feel I'm a child anyway? Ampe nanya where nginep girls and boys separated? Why try?’, Kirana read the message several times and thought.
‘Ah.. mending do not need me to answer aja.’, Kirana said as she put her phone just by the side and pulled the blanket she brought from home.
