EP.57 Trial 2


Rey arrived at the campus before 08.00 WIB. He was accompanied by Wibie who deliberately took leave to accompany his beloved wife thesis exam.


There are 5 Rey class friends who took the exam today, Rafa, Pras, Pandu, Melly and Rey. The other four people were their level elder brothers, who were currently already in the 10th semester.


"I'm in first, yeah!" Rey permission on her husband who sat on one of the benches, there was also Dhiza and friends who deliberately came to give encouragement to the examinees.


"Don't tense. You can do it, '" Wibie tried to convince his wife.


"Yes, Mas. Thanks,"


Other than the examinees, it was only allowed to wait in the hall. Rey and her friends are ready in the room. All the preparations for the exam are in order. From snacks for lecturers, lunch for the testing team and do not forget souvenirs for testers are all prepared. Because there are 9 people who are in court today, so they share the task of preparing everything.The event will begin with the opening followed by the entire trial participants.


Salama attended the opening event which lasted about half an hour, Rey looks more anxious. The taste of mules, quail, want to appear right then and there.


"It feels like I really want to be able to shirk today, so that the tension quickly passes," whispered in the heart.


Because on this campus the trial was conducted with a closed court system, so after the opening Rey and eight other friends waited for their turn into the courtroom or assembly room.


Rey got the number 3 of the 9 participants of the thesis assembly. Each test participant gets 1 hour. So quite a long time Rey had to wait while stubbornly.


Understandably, his script-testing team was an important person on his campus. There is a head of majors from one of the graduate programs, there is also a former head of the program who is famous for being thickened as a tester who often gives trap questions. Not to mention Rey got a lot of stories about how the experience of friends who have been trial.


Although Wibie has explained, everyone has their own story about the experience of the trial, but still can not reduce his worry.


Feelings increasingly mixed, between the seneng and tense, even along the way to campus, he nausea nausea continues. Wibie patiently tried to calm him down, but still the feeling reappeared when he saw his friend who had the first turn out in a sweaty condition.


"Drink!" Wibie thrusts the warm tea she had prepared in a tumbler towards Rey.


"Thank you," Rey immediately sipped the drink and her mules stomach became slightly reduced.


While waiting for them to finish the trial, Rey tried to calm down. Even though the clock has shown eleven more, but Rafa has not yet come out of the room.


"It looks like the test will be a blow, Ishoma hunt. Duh.makin parno aja nih," murmured Rey.


"Patience" said Wibie for the umpteenth time.


"You can do it, baby. Sure enough," Wibie who had been holding his wife's bag gently stroked his wife's shoulder to give her encouragement.


"God willing,"


"Read the Alfatihah plus the verse of the chair, insyaallah at ease," he whispered softly.


Rey followed what her husband said,


half an hour later, Rafa went outside, he had finished the exam. Slightly different from the first participant, Rafa's face looks calmer even though there is still some tension on his face.


"Now it's my turn to go into the courtroom," Rey can still congratulate her classmate, before her name is called to enter the room.


"Rey, the spirit is!" exclaimed Pras who had been sitting in a corner and was so serious about learning the script.


"Yes, thank you,"


"Passion, yes dear," Wibie also rose from her seat to give her encouragement. His views followed his wife's steps until she was lost behind the courtroom.


All the test ammunition is difficult to prepare by Rey. From Laptops, snacks for lecturers, thesis papers have been sorted out. Just waiting for the examiners to come.


Not long after, the supervisor and examiner came to the Rey thesis into the room.


So finally, the exam started.


"Bismillah" Rey prayed in her heart.


The LCD is connected to the laptop, the thesis slide is already plastered in front of the testers. Rey took the mic and began to rotate the slide while continuing to explain the important points of the thesis that has been completed.


Only 15 minutes of time was given to her to do the exposure, the rest was an exam session. Rey can make good use of that time, he can convey what has been made in the slideshow show firmly and clearly.


Now it is the turn of the testing team that speaks, each examiner and supervisor only has 10 minutes to give questions, refutations, and enter the examinee.


Of the four lecturers, only two gave questions. One tester and two tutors. The rest just ask for an explanation and give a note.


Rey can answer two questions from her lecturer well. He can express his arguments so that what he has written can be defended and accounted for logically.


After being satisfied to give questions, directions and a little notes, finally the thesis test is run. Rey closed the conversation by unceasingly thanking and approached the lecturer one by one to say thank you before leaving the room.


When he came out, his face looked fresher, like someone who had just finished throwing away in the bathroom.


"Alhamdulillah," said Rey so relieved.


Wibie who was impatiently waiting for his wife, immediately approached Rey who was still standing in front of the courtroom.


"How's it?" tanyanya.


"Alhamdulillah, Mother. It's smooth!" sahut Rey is so happy.


"Thank God, congratulations, baby,"


Before long, Pras and Dhiza also approached Rey and congratulated her.


"Hopefully my tester lecturer is also good. You can leave the room as bright as your face, Rey," said Pras.


"Aamiin," said Wibie, Rey and Dhiza almost simultaneously.


"It's Ishoma time, first break exam. How about we go get some food," Wibie took the three.


"Yes, Mas. I want to eat a lot" said Rey.


"By, I'm 6th. Still long. We have time to eat first" Pras said.


"Yuk, let's go back as soon as possible," Wibie asked again.
