Some English Literature class A students have just come out of the public lecture hall in building B 3rd floor. They have just taken a class together for Indonesian courses combined with class A majoring in Indonesian Literature. A total of 60 new students have been in the semi-hall class for approximately one hour.
Arsene closed his backpack after he put in his notebook. He was reminded of a pile of paper brochures for his soft launching shop promotion this Saturday. The young man wearing the red-collared shirt opened his bag again. He had to hand out the papers to his classmates before they disbanded. This is his chance to promote.
"Sen, am I first?" said Angga, his high school friend who is now also in class with him in this department.
"You want to go straight back?" ask Arsene.
"Gue wants to go to boarding Adit, take a nap first, sorenya want there to be a first group of new BEM children because. Instead of back hitching a ride, huh, Dit?!" said Angga to the new friend next to him.
"You coming, Sen? We don't go to college anymore, do we?"
"Gue has to spread the brochure, my cake shop is open this Saturday!" Arsene took out a pile of thin art paper paper in soft peach and pastel green.
"Great euy, cake chef wants to sell!" puji Angga's. Arsene gave the brochure to two of his friends.
"Come yes, there's a free muffin for the first 50 visitors."
"It would be good if the food business would come!" exclamation Angga.
"Come on! We go first, right? Good luck Mas Bro!" adit said goodbye.
Arsene quickly stood up, carrying his brochures, then distributed them to the students who were still in the class.
“Come yes ...,” said the young man smiling, sounding clumsy. This is the first time Arsene has promoted. He has not been reliable this problem, only reckless capital makes him dare to do this.
The students seemed enthusiastic to pay attention to the beautiful brochure given by Arsene. Indeed, the cake shop he was going to launch took the theme of shabby chic, considering the cake shop called "Sweet Recipes", so he asked the graphic design to make a promotional design that suits the theme of the store. Using pastel colors and classic accents for decoration in its publication, it is certain that many will be interested.
Arsene still continues to distribute brochures that may number in the hundreds. He has tried to calculate the opportunities of prospective customers who will come. If he targets only 50 people who come to visit his store, then at least he must spread direct promotion to 200 people, at least. Arsene had already learned to his father about the first strategy of promotion for this cake shop. So he must calculate the opportunity of the arrival of consumers.
"Come on Ra!" he said with a faint smile when he gave the brochure to Zaara who happened to be a classmate in this course, although different majors.
“Wah, your store is open this Saturday?!” asked Zaara not to believe it.
“Iya, prime nih!”
“Insya Allah yes,” Zaara replied.
Zaara's friends were there too. It seemed that the girl was now more open in friendship matters, there were about five people who had gathered with her and looked quite familiar. She was no longer a lonely girl who exiled herself to the mosque. Zaara's friends seemed very enthusiastic, even they immediately made an appointment to go to Arsene's store.
“Arsene!” call Zaara, when Arsene was busy distributing her promotional flyer to other students.
“Ya?” tanyanya.
“Need help?”
“What help?” arsene did not understand.
“Help spread your store promotion leaflet. I happen to have no more college today. All of you later while walking to the gate.” Zaara's words certainly make Arsene sumringah. Leaflets are indeed a lot of printed, because Arsene will optimize the spread of promotion today.
“Ah, really?”
“Iya, we help. Me, Terry, same Hana.”
“Alhamdulillah, thank you Ra. Must come you know, later I will prepare a special for you three.”
“Insya Allah.”
Arsene gave several promotional leaflets to the three girls in front of him. They seemed happy to receive the leaflet from Arsene.
“I'm asking for a bit!” said Terry.
“What's wrong?”
“Gue has often been rich gini because often help my sister promotion.”
“Ooh yes?”
“Yes, don't worry!” Terry took the stack of leaflets out of Arsene's hands. The three girls tidied up the leaflet that was in their hands.
“We go first Yes Sen. We are heading towards the main gate, so you can spread it elsewhere,” said Zaara.
“There are many yes,” said Arsene. They also split up there.
Arsene's mood is getting better. With his wide smile and narrow eyes, he managed to hypnotize the recipients of his leaflet, thus making him gobsmacked with the handsome young man.

The wind was blowing, the sun was shining warmly that day. The young man walked along the passage that led him to the east gate of his university complex. Spreading his brochure, his heart continued to hope that the opening of his cake shop would go smoothly.
He walked past another faculty, then rested for a while under a shady tree that provided coolness. While standing, he continued to spread the brochure to students passing in front of him. From a distance, the three girls, his friends willing to help him voluntarily. Moreover, the girl in the yellow hood of turmeric, which even from far away her smile still looks radiant. Arsene smiled at himself, why only this time his feelings continued to grow, he also did not understand.
“Lho is here?”
Someone patted Arsene's shoulder from the side, making the young man startled and turned his head.
“What's the first, Sen?” asked the tall young man who was wearing a white suit, a blue striped shirt and his jeans.
“I again spread this, Mas!” Arsene handed the brochure to Raffa who immediately noticed the contents.
“Ooh store you want to open ya?” tanyakanya.
“Iya, Mas! Coming yes?”
“OK, later I see the schedule first,” replied Raffa smiled small.
“You finally went to college here too? What majors?” ask Raffa.
“Iya, Mas. English Literature.”
“Hmm ... one faculty equals Zaara huh?”
“Iya.” Arsene smiled a little.
Some students wearing white suits like Raffa were seen coming over. They seem to be Raffa's friends.
“Fa, what else? Come to the canteen!” said a woman with shoulder-length hair.
“Wait a moment,” he said who was still paying attention to leaflets from Arsene.
“Hey, has an unknown handsome tea!” say that woman again.
“Ah, this is Arsene, freshman here. Coincidentally he is the son of my mother's best friend,” replied Raffa introducing them both.
“Hai, I'm Jane!” the woman stretched out her hand.
“Arsene!” arsene replied while shaking his hand.
Arsene gave the leaflet to him, as well as to some of his other friends.
"Come on, brother!"
"Ready!" answer Jane.
“I'm traveling again yes, Mas!”
“Oh yes, please!” raffa looked at him.
“Good luck, Arsene!” jane is friendly.
“Thank you.”
Arsene returned down the sidewalk while giving a leaflet in his hand. Raffa stared intently at Arsene's back, which was now far from his eyes.
“Saingan lo ya?” jane asked Raffa's body.
“What?”
“Yes, that guy is your rival for a girl you incer right?”
Raffa chuckles.
“Yeh, even laughing. Very handsome, you will lose!” said Jane.
“Why do you think that?”
“See aja. He can work even though he is still in college. Well lo?!”
“Hey, I'm a successful doctor candidate yes!” raffa is confident.
“But, girls prefer men who work real, especially while in college. Young marriage does not matter if the man works hard. I want to too!”
“Emang lo not prestige, what if the business is not successful? My future is guaranteed, but not him, right? Although his parents are rich.”
“Kanya lo must browse gebetan girl lo deh! If the kids on our campus, you are dreaming. Ask him what the criteria of his dream man. Hunt ah, my laper!” jane said as she sauntered away from Raffa.
Raffa was stunned at the words of his best friend earlier. He is confident, because he also has ambitions with his career after this as a dentist. Moreover, he has easy access because both his parents work in prestigious health institutions. His future could be guaranteed, but does that guarantee him that he can get his target girl? Looks like the guy has to do some self-promotion in front of the girl.
