"We've arrived!"
Alan stopped his car in front of a building that Irene was going to live in during training. Irene has passed the selection of the committee, so she must follow the training as well as the advanced selection to get the best. Irene came as a representative of her campus alongside the famous genius Hansen.
Irene sighed. Although less interested in joining the competition, the positive side he could stay away from Alan's house. At least he would be freer than being with the five young masters who always made him feel a mental burden.
"Thank you, Brother. It's been driving me" Irene said after getting out of her car.
"OKAY. You're all right here. Hopefully we can win too!" Alan patted Irene's head gently.
"I ... come in first." Irene immediately turned around leaving Alan. His face was reddened by such treatment. It feels cheered by special people and makes him so eager to become a champion.
"Hello, meet me, my name is Haru." a man stopped Irene.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Irene asked in wonder.
"May I ask for your number?" the man thrust his phone, preparing to type Irene's phone number.
Irene frowned feeling astonished. He didn't know her but dared to ask for her phone number. "Sorry, yeah. I can't give it to him. Excuse me!" Irene passed the man just like that. He said he did not need to give mobile phone numbers to unknown people.
Irene matched the room number she was going to occupy with the number listed on her keychain. Number 43. When he opened the door, two women were already there. The two looked astonishedly at Irene, noticing Irene's appearance from top to bottom.
One of the haughty-looking women looked at Irene with a condescending look. "Will he room with us? Why didn't the committee divide the room properly, Jeha?" his gerrick.
Irene tried to ignore her roommate's words. He kept going into the room, arranging the things he carried.
"The thing I fear the most is that it is difficult to concentrate because it must be one room with a village person. Surely the way he thought was also different from us who used to live in the city. Do you agree with me, brother?" tanyanya asked for support.
"You don't do that, Meera. We can be here because we passed the same selection" said the woman named Jeha.
Jeha approached Irene who was busy putting her clothes into the closet. When he was about to put an empty suitcase on top of the closet, he seemed to have a little trouble.
"May I help you?" Jeha offered her help. Irene was somewhat surprised the woman was being nice to her, in contrast to the one named Meera. It was clear that Meera did not like Irene there.
"Thank you." Irene gladly accepted the help Jeha gave her. Both of them lifted the empty suitcase to be placed on top of the closet. Meanwhile, Meera increasingly feels dislike for Irene.
"There's another roommate who hasn't come. If it's not wrong, her name is Irene. He said he was one of the best candidates in the competition." Jeha helped arrange the pillows on Irene's bed.
"I was so impressed with him. After reading the paper made about investment research, I was stunned. How can, a person as young as him write about it with language that is easy to understand. I can't wait to meet him and want to get to know him further."
Irene turned towards Jeha. He's dumbfounded. Actually the person Jeha was talking about was himself. Jeha could not know the person he was praising.
'Is Irene's name so inappropriate for me?' he murmured in the heart.
"But, I think someone as great as that would be difficult to make friends with" said Meera. "Most intelligent people do shut themselves off from socializing. I think he's that kind of person too."
"You can't be so bad, Meera. Who knew he was a good man" Jeha said.
"Oh! It's time to get together soon, right? I went to class first, yeah!" pamit Meera's. "Would you come with me now?" ask her to Jeha.
"I'll catch up later after finishing this," Jeha replied.
"okay!" Meera grabbed her bag and left the room.
Meanwhile, Jeha was still helping Irene with her stuff. "Oh, yes. We haven't gotten acquainted. I'm Jeha. Who are you?" Jeha stretched out her hand.
Irene was silent for a moment. Rarely does anyone bring them first acquaintance. "My name is Irene" he said, shaking Jeha's hand.
This time it was Jeha's turn to be dumbfounded. He did not expect the participant he admired, who he really wanted to meet, to be right in front of him.
Jeha smiled awkwardly. It is so wrong to have a bad attitude about the person in front of himself. He thought Irene must be a beautiful and fashionable woman, considering Irene represents a campus that is famous for students who like to fight for the outfit.
"Em, sorry, yes .. I didn't know that you were Irene" he said with a condescending expression.
Irene put on a smile on her lips. At least he also knew that Jeha was a good person, still willing to help him even though he did not know who he was. "It's okay. I thank you for helping me to improve."
"I'm really impressed by your work. I want to be friends with you, Irene."
"Yes, I'm glad to know you too. Hopefully we can be good friends in the future" said Irene.
"How about we go to class now?"
"okay!"
Jeha held Irene's hand with a happy look. Irene felt amazed that someone could accept herself with the appearance that was there.
Upon arrival at the meeting room, it seemed that all the participants were already present. In fact, their mentor named Mother Hera was already present there. Irene's eyes met Hansen's. Participants who came from one campus with him were also there.
"Please turn off your phone, I don't want any interruptions during this session" Ms Hera said. All participants obey his orders.
"I will share a worksheet containing problems that may be encountered in the business world. Please analyze according to the knowledge you have obtained during the lecture or maybe from the literature you have read." Hera's mother began handing out sheets that participants had to answer according to their respective understandings.
During the training session, the room seemed so quiet. None of them asked each other questions, all focused on his work. Irene was also very relaxed to fill out the questions she received according to what was on her mind. Actually he wanted to protest why he had to answer by writing, even though they could type answers on a laptop.
"Okay, the girl is over!" Hera's mother coded them to put her stationery and work back on their desks.
"You can go back to your room."
One by one the selected participants came out of the meeting room, including Irene and Jeha who decided to return to the room together.
"How was that? Do you think it's easy?" asked the glasses guy to Hansen.
"I think every problem there are many types of solutions that can be taken. Wrong or right, relative. Perhaps the answer is considered correct if the risk of failure in application is low. Even the last question is not finished I work until the end because the time is up."
"Hm, you just don't seem sure, let alone me!"
Irene and Jeha first returned to the room. Apparently, there was already their last roommate who came late.
"Hi, my name is Winda. Did I miss the first guidance session?" tanyakanya.
"Yes. The activity has just ended" Jeha said. The woman named Winda originally thought she was Irene.
"Can we get acquainted? My name's Winda!" The woman extended her hand to Jeha.
"I'm Jeha."
"I'm Irene" Irene replied as their hands shook.
Winda immediately opened his mouth in surprise. "You're Irene?" tanyanya enthusiastic. "Irene's the best candidate, right?" ask again as if to be sure.
"You're shocked too, huh? I also did not expect that I would room with Irene" Jeha said.
"Oh my God, I didn't expect to get a room with my favorite participant .. Please help, Temperature!" Wanda immediately struggled spoiled on Irene.
Irene laughed stiffly. I don't know why they both became fans. In fact, he also accidentally joined the competition because of his lecturer.
