The Fall of the Star
Chapter 7 Awaiting Announcement

Waiting time waiting for the announcement after the test is done long enough, about a month. Well, reasonable. Because the corrections amounted to thousands from all over the archipelago. Anyone who does not want to participate in the selection of the results if accepted will fix have a bright life in the future. Tuition is free of charge, there is an allowance and allowance plus a job guarantee as a PNS after graduation later. What an immeasurable gift to the chosen ones.

During the wait, Ayudia was not necessarily what she was doing. He was getting stuck in his own heart. Want to go out to a friend's house but most of his friends have gone to college at university at their own expense. In addition, many who have worked because it was from the beginning did not intend to go to college either with their own reasons.

There are also some friends who have had early marriages. He was even invited several times and embarrassed himself when he was present at the wedding while he still felt like a schoolboy. It seems that Ayudia is not fully aware that she has grown up and indeed such a thing has to be faced.

That's why he prefers to shut himself up in the room. If his mother told me to go or help him in the kitchen then he would come out. It was also with a face to face so sometimes Bu Nani prefers to do it alone.

Ms. Nani often complained about Ayudia's attitude towards her husband, but as usual, the patient and understanding Mr. Anwar only appealed to her and sought a million defenses for the princess snag.

“Let's go, Mom. Maybe he was concentrating on learning. Who knows if he will get through college immediately with a lesson that will be difficult later,” he said with limited knowledge of an ordinary man who does not have a higher education background.

Finally, the husband and wife also understood the busyness of the princess. They did not disturb Ayudia who increasingly dwell more often in her own room. Well, Mr. Anwar and Bu Nani are indeed very supportive of Ayudia to achieve his dreams. This made Ayudia more comfortable. He even took advantage of the situation by not willing to help his mother's homework. Rarely he sweeps or is willing to be told to shop out.

“Bu, I'm ashamed to be called by people,” rejected Ayudia aat when Bu Nani told her to shop for a greengrocer at the end of the alley.

“Well, shame why? Why are people embarrassed, anyway?” Bu Nani is of course the most beautiful curiosity with the strange reason.

“Yes they will ask me why I am at home? Why not college? That's it, you're embarrassed, Mom!” ayudia replied in a very upset tone.

“Yes, He. That's them just a pleasantries. You can answer not still waiting for the announcement, right?” Bu Nani again asked why the halmeh was an obstacle for Ayudia to get out of her own house. How strange.

“But I'm tired too Mom if I have to answer that I keep. Meningan do not need to go out all together,” concluded Ayudia insisted not to be told.

Bu Nani finally just took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

“Begini very have a child pinter,” lamented when just alone with the husband.

Mr. Anwar can only comfort his wife, “Already, Mom. Later if He succeeds we are also proud.”

Not infrequently Ayudia complained in the diary, if he was born in another family. In the Elvira family. His father and mother had been rich since a few descendants ago it seemed. They are one of the nobility in the area and are respected by other citizens. Ayudia has no knowledge of religion that life would be beautiful and quiet if we were to trust God for every destiny given.

Every time I think of Elvira, I am always jealous of the ease and abundance that her friend has. Especially now coupled with the closeness of Elvira with David, a figure who was estimated by Ayudia for a long time. Jealousy is getting worse.

Ayudia had to hold her heart back to not curse rudely in front of the girl. Yes, Elvira still visited him several times at home to just be patient if he returned from campus every weekend.

“You don't have to come here, it's okay, El. Are you getting busy?” One day Ayudia said because she was tired of seeing Elvira who came with a million pre-oprequisite stories from college. Does he have no feelings to not know that Ayudia sugguh increasingly jealous just hear all the stories of Elvira's excitement.

“Loh, what is it, Dia?” Elvira asked while frowning in wonder.

“Yes is okay, because I don't know how to respond to your story. I don't know anything about ospek and such!” said Ayudia with restraining annoyance.

“Sorry, I just shared a story, He. Yes already, we discussed something else aja yuk,” invite Ayudia who immediately realized and tried to change the topic. Intentions Elvira heart to share the story but the friend winapi another because the heart has been veiled kebencia, iri and the decision of his own destiny.

But Ayudia's attitude was different and not as enthusiastic as usual. Finally, Elvira felt heartless and happy to go home. Though every time he came to the house of Ayudia, he never forgot to bring a typical hand of Surabaya for his friend. He thought that Ayudia also felt what she now felt on campus. But apparently Ayudia's response to him was very much different from expectations.

While on the phone by David, Elvira accidentally tells what happened in Ayudia's house earlier. It is possible for Elvira to share stories but instead she tells the disgrace or lack of her best friend, without realizing it makes others not like the figure of her best friend, Ayudia.

“What? Masa’ you were reprimanded that, anyway? I think Ayudia has changed a lot, yes. He became increasingly unclear and increasingly closed himself after graduating.” David commented defending Elvira.

“Iya may be my fault too times, yes. I shouldn't have told you many things about the lecture even though he is still deg-deg and will not necessarily make it through the selection of his lecture later,” said Elvira. There was a regretful tone in his tone of voice.

“Ah, you are not wrong either. Your intention is to share a story. Instead of showing off to him,” entertain David calms the idol. He doesn't like to see Elvira sad. Especially if only because of the absurd behavior of Ayudia.

“You better start to keep the same distance He, El,” advises David. Elvira would not be willing to accept because she also did not want if her presence would be one source of Ayudia's annoyance.
