The Fall of the Star
Chapter 28 The Little Reunion

Finally, it is true that Elvira immediately carried out what she had been supporting. He has contacted the WA alumni High School group and announced that he will hold a small kangen meeting at his home.

Because the invite is one of the respected in the group, of course, many are willing to be present in between their respective activities. To the extent Ayudia was shocked when it was reported by Elvira that the friends who filled the attendance list were almost half of all alumni.

“Pouch page width, wkwkwk. Let's notar we make models out door party aja rather than in the house of narrowness right if this many are present, if so many are present,” said Elvira who initially did not want to receive the money for the reunion because she had only intended to help Ayudia's intentions. But apparently the chairman of the alumni forced to hand him money for a regular meeting fund.

Now it is Ayudia. Will he be able to deal with so many people directly? Remembering her introverted self and will experience anxiety when meeting too many people at once. Moreover, the meeting will later concern him who makes statements and apologies in general. So he expressed his concerns to his friend.

“Duh, El. If so many come can I resist embarrassment?” ask Ayudia honestly.

Elvira immediately showed a concerned face. The girl was rushing to sit next to her best friend and squeezing the fingers of Ayudia who was being linked to each other, indicating she was nervous.

“Quiet aja. There will be me. I'll definitely help you face them all. And even if necessary I represent you speak. The important thing is that you are only willing to admit your previous mistakes and want to apologize. That's all very noble, Dia.”

Comforted similarly, Ayudia was still anxious and confused. Can he endure the shame in the midst of so many friends? Elvira can be ordinary and relaxed. He's not the culprit here. This is Ayudia herself, who seems to be a sickle and will walk towards the public for recognition. Those are two different things and represent him speaking in front of everyone! Inner Ayudia was in violent revolt.

“Dia .. I don't want to embarrass you by inviting them all. Please don't let you have bad thoughts about me, huh? I'm just trying to facilitate your own wishes and good intentions. Aye right? If it seems that there are more and more, it is beyond my power. How could we refuse, right? But I think all of you, anyway. This will be an event that bgaus for you, remove sins as well as re-establish the friendship that previously inserted lies into a better friendship.” Long width Elvira gives pe3nnjilan to her friend who was stricken and doubtful.

Ayudia could only gulp her saliva with great difficulty. But in his little heart justifies everything that Elvira says. Maybe this is the turning point of his life. Maybe this is his chance to start a friendship with them more sincerely.

“Alright, El. I'm gonna do it.  Either later they will hate me or want to forgive me, the important thing is that I have done my duty, yes,” he said resigned also finally.

“Yes obviously want to, He. I'll help you talk later so as not to impress you without lying. Relax,” Elvira said again. The girl's clear eyes sparkled with joy as her persuasion succeeded. He was very happy with the good changes experienced by Ayudia.

And come the day that awaits. The small reunion event at Elvira's house took place quite solemnly because the committee consisting of Elvira herself, was, Ayudia and several core committee selected suddenly from the position of the nearest house with Elvira was indeed scheduled a joint event as well as just meeting kangen and saraturahim. There was an Elvira naji teacher, Ustazah who was specially invited to lead the Istighosah.

From the beginning there were whispers among some who were present, especially those who were present when Ayudia was in the hospital at that time. Those who knew that Ayudia was only a braggart. That was why Ayudia had not dared to appear in their midst before Elvira opened the way for her to speak out conveying her true intentions.

“Friends, please concern him all for a moment, yes.” His voice echoed a little loudly because he deliberately used a mic to spy on the audience.

But after they all approached. He turned off the mic and spoke in an original voice, only his intonation was slightly hardened to be heard by all.

“Actually I originally held this event to fulfill the request of one of our friends, namely Ayudia. There's something he wants to tell you and I hope this time you'll listen to him talk to the end, huh? Willing right? Later after he finished talking, then you guys please respond like what. Can, yes?”

“Huuu ... make what? What the fuck is that bitch gonna show up again? Creating another joke?” chirp one of the girls who seems to be very upset at Ayudia's behavior all along. Dislikeness emanated so clearly in the girl's eyes as comments came out of her mouth.

“Please appreciate the request first, yes? Can we give Ayudia one chance, right?” Elvira defended Ayudia because she did not want that the noble intention would end immediately because she no longer had a friend who would give her a chance to talk.

There was a buzz that no one agreed but also more skeptics were unsure. But no one insisted on refuting, so Elvira called Ayudia from inside the house to hurry to say what she wanted to say.

Ayudia walked with steady steps but her shoulders slumped because her guts were now really being tested. His courage to admit wrongdoing in public directly and to apologize is a pretty hard ordeal.

“Thank you guys for the opportunity already given.” Ayudia started her oration. Many of those present only snorted or clicked their tongues, but also many waited for him to continue the word.

“I stand here with humility and withstanding the immense shame before you. I want to apologize profusely for the lies I have done to pretend to be a student and to study in Bandung ..”

Now the sound of the hum is getting louder. Some people just know that Ayudia did not go to college, some have guessed and finally clicked her tongue can not just believe in the apology of an Ayudia.
