Holidays in Bali for seven days for them are very memorable for Anders and Ridha.
There are many destinations that they have visited while there. Although they finally did not so to stay at the inn belonging to Ridha's friend.
All of their moments together have been captured on camera and printed, which they now keep a memorable album full of their photos.
Anders when going home from Bali, also took the time to edit which tells the excitement of the two of them while in Bali.
After the holidays, they both decided to spend more time with their families.
The Anders family also celebrated Anders' graduation. Lisa, Alex and Syifa held a large meal by inviting neighbors around.
That night, the atmosphere was so happy for everyone. Dozens of kilos of chicken and beef cooked in various menus were eaten by about 70 people who attended.
There is also some distribution of staples to underprivileged neighbors, as a form of gratitude for the approval of his son.
Unlike the Ridha family, they spend time visiting their ancestral home outside the city.
They distributed the food that had been prepared a few days earlier and gathered with all the members of the extended family. And do not forget, Ridha and his family members made a pilgrimage to the tomb of his grandparents.
Holidays pass so quickly, in contrast to when doing activities that make people think and done repeatedly.
Not felt, tomorrow is the determination time for all students who have just graduated and officially become High School alumni to continue their education at the college level.
The college entrance exam is held simultaneously throughout Indonesia.
Before applying for that exam, each student is required to fill out two different options. Whether it's in the same university or not.
Anders, put his first choice on a management major and his second choice on an economics major at the same university. The University is located in Depok and is the best university in Indonesia today.
The reason behind Anders choosing both majors, is because both majors are still located within the same faculty.
Management and economics are still included in one group of education fields.
He does not want to cross too far, which can later hamper his ideals.
While Ridha, he decided to take his first choice in the dental department at one of the leading universities in Surabaya.
The second option, Ridha dropped on veterinary medicine at the university in the city where he currently lives.
Anders, currently in Jakarta. He rented an apartment as a temporary residence to take the college entrance exam. While Ridha, currently in Surabaya and living with his brother.
The test they prepared from far away, will be announced seven days ahead.
For Ridha, whatever results he gets later, he will still be grateful and accept everything with a chest of air.
At first, he was very optimistic when he took the test. But when he finished and left the exam room, he felt pessimistic to see the list of participants in his class.
So many famous High School graduate students from big cities who also compete for seats and become dental faculty students.
Anders also experienced the same thing this time, a lot of students from international High School graduates who want to become graduates of S1 management at this university.
When he looked at the list of participants in his examination room, there were even four people who were high school graduates from abroad. From the name, they are also foreign nationals.
It also made Anders think if he could be part of the university he dreamed of.
The tension and thought of the exam results may currently haunt all prospective students.
They cannot fall asleep as fast as before during the holidays for one month.
Not a few also of those who are willing to take additional courses in anticipation of the worst possibility if on the exam this time they are not accepted.
There are still self-exams that can be taken, although it must pour funds that are not small.
Today is the day that Anders, Ridha, and all the participants who take the college entrance exam are waiting for.
They get a code by email that must be entered into the website of their respective universities to check the announcement.
Got the news, Anders immediately checked his personal email. And there perched an incoming message that was just sent five minutes ago.
He immediately opened and copied the code he got in the message.
- Congratulations you have been declared PASS -
Such is the announcement on the website that is being opened on the screen of his laptop.
Anders smiled and applauded for himself for passing the test.
He immediately contacted Ridha asking if Ridha had seen the results of the test or not.
Like women in general, Ridha was crying for fear if he did not pass the test this time.
Accompanied by Ridha's mother who always calmed Ridha, he finally ventured to see the announcement of the test results.
And yes, Ridha's crying got louder this time. But not a cry of sadness. Ridha cried because she was moved, she did not expect to graduate and become a dental student.
Ridha's mother who was beside her also shed tears, seeing the results of her daughter's struggle so far.
The two of them, this time managed to pass one more stage, which is to become students at the university they aspire to.
Shortly after the announcement was made, a series of university events took place.
Starting from re-registration, until the welcoming of new students is carried out regularly for several days.
Anders and Ridha, in the busyness they are currently doing less and less to exchange news.
Although sometimes, the two still take the time to call each other when they have the same free time.
