Valko was still chatting with Opa, Oma and the business partners. I am so thankful to have been brought to this room. Not necessarily I understand what they're talking about. Maybe Valko really wanted me to rest early.
I was in my room but I still hadn't slept. I chose to move to the guest room that I had occupied at that time. Not because I couldn't sleep because Valko wasn't beside me but because of my responsibility. My script that keeps me from sleeping 😢. I had to immediately find a backup title and be drafted pre-proposal to submit to my supervising lecturer.
Sometimes I think I get too caught up in the stories in movies or novels. I don't think college is much of a burden, as free as in the movie or the novel. Apparently, college was pretty much his demand. Those shown in movies or novels are usually just love stories or horror stories on campus. Rarely does anyone highlight the struggle of old semester students like me to get out of campus by graduation, not by Drop Out (DO).
In movies or novels, there is rarely a story of a student's journey to find the title of the thesis until rejected repeatedly. Rarely does anyone peel what a thesis actually is. I also just found out if the thesis is actually a kind of PR for students. The PR consists of 5 chapters: Chapter 1 core background, Chapter 2 theoretical studies, Chapter 3 research methods, Chapter 4 discussion and research results and Chapter 5 conclusions and suggestions. It seems easy but to reach the stage of Chapter 1 only the struggle is bloody as I experienced.
Fortunately, in this guest room there is a computer that is not used. The computer is also connected to the internet. I was able to download my script's pre-proposal draft revisian file. Fortunately, my college has used an online tutoring system. So, I can tell where my mistake lies. When I open the file on the online guidance website....
Jesus, my pre-proposal draft has a lot of revisians. Even from the comments it seems my title is less powerful for the thesis. I need to get in trouble again. When can I graduate and graduate? 😭
"What are you doing?" the voice of Valko. "Are you still so angry that I can't get a cauldron tonight? I've already apologized" Valko hugged me from behind. My right cheek was even kissed repeatedly. Valko, can't you not bother me first! 😔 I'm dizzy.
"Darling.." I looked at him. It looks like Valko is neat in a dark blue pajama suit. "Ehm.I'm not angry. You go to bed first ehm.I'll finish my script revisian first, yes," I smiled at him. I am lazy to argue with him. "Valkey!" my yelling. Valko just carried me. "Down me! Let me do my script first!" I protested to him.
"You can do it in my room. You can use my laptop. So, hush!" reply Valko. He really carried me to his room. I was sitting on the bed. Valko picked up a folding table and a thin silver laptop. Valko sat behind me, his legs straight open. My body rests on his chest.
"Valko, let me.." I want the peotes back.
THE CTAR! THE CTAR! THE DUAR! God, why the hell should there be lightning at a time like this? 😭 BRASH! Heavy rain is starting to happen. How else, it's rainy season.
"Ehm.all right, I'll go. I'll go to Oma and Opa's room. You stay here alone" Valko left. Shit, I'm so scared of lightning. Where could I let him go.
"Darling.." call me. "My company.ehm.I was just kidding...."
"No, you're not kidding. You really don't like me being next to you. Yeah, I'm going, I'm going" Valko kept walking.
"Don't, I'm scared! Accompany me!" I finally whined. "Guide me, Valko! My baby....Please!" for the first time I actually begged Valko.
"Kiss first!" valko said while pointing to his right cheek.
Gosh, he's taking advantage of the opportunity in narrowness. Never mind, just follow. I followed her, kissed her right cheek, kissed her left cheek, kissed her forehead and kissed her lips. I did it all over and over again until he was satisfied.
"All right, I'll keep you company" Valko sat behind me. He hugged me from behind. "Wait, I'll grab something," Valko went out. He returned with a full-blown workout of snacks and drinks in a few quart-sized tumblers.
"Thesis can make you thinner like a lidi. I've brought coffee, guava juice, orange juice and snacks," Valko sat behind me again. Valko's hand wrapped a thick blanket covering the area behind his body to the front of my body.
"Cuacia rain. The air was cold," he hugged my body again. Oh, my God, this is too much. "Rain like this makes me need warmth. Can't you do this tomorrow" whispered Valko. Gosh, what does it mean what's this code for playing under the covers again? Valko, are you addicted to it? 😣
"Ehm..I jarus immediately work on it, Cayang.." I refocused my mind.
Turn on Valko's laptop. There are pictures of three people holding hands. A boy with a man and a woman.
"That's a picture of my family" said Valko. "When times are happy." he's down.
Lothawat! I need to shift the conversation immediately. I'll plug the laptop into wifi. I opened the website of the online guidance system and then I downloaded my pre-proposal draft file. I read the comments from my guidance lecturer. His comments made me feel sad. I think I really should change the title.
"When I graduate this is how it is!," I said spontaneously expressing my disappointment.
"What are you majoring in?" Valko looked towards the laptop screen. "Your title is too mainstream, Squirrel. It's only right if your teacher refuses. Um, I thought you were a management major. Just like me apparently," Valko started eating potato chips. It looks so good, I started eating it too.
"I'm dead-end, Valko. Don't just criticize! Can you give me a solution?" sahutku.
"Huh, you cocky bastard!" my reply. I'm thirsty, I finally got a tumbler filled with orange juice. My brain feels a little cold.
"You should choose topics about current issues that are being updated. You have a business in fashion. Try to find problems in that field, for example, about fashion marketing management in the country that competes with imported products. Or about the management of human resource management in the era of industrial revolution 4.0. Or it could also be about the impact of the existence of beauty vloggers today on the management of cosmetic product marketing. It could also be about the management of human resource start-up business. Or risk management in a start-up venture. Start-ups have the potential to fail...." Valko kept mentioning other ideas. He even typed it in a word form file.
"Valko, it turns out you're smart, yeah" I said in surprise. It turns out Valko's brain is diluted too.
"Ck! I've been smart a long time, squirrel. You're the one who realized it too late" said Valko. "Before determining the title first look for the latest news from a trusted source for the background of the problem. It can also be from research. You also have to read reference books in order to make a good theoretical foundation" Valko appears to open a folder. "I still keep e-books on management when I was in college S1 and S2," Valko began to open one of the e-books.
"Ehm...I should submit a title what yes?" I'm really confused.
"Don't be confused, think first about the problems and the type of research that you can understand enough...." Valko took out a notebook and a pen from inside the drawer.
He and I discussed each other. It turned out that behind his annoying and silly behavior, he was a wise and clever man. After quite a long discussion, I also have some backup titles.
"Come, I'll help you draft it soon. You have to keep making it yourself. I will help in terms of the search for references. Well, tomorrow can still be fixed when you go to your tutor."
I obeyed his orders, I wrote the key points on the draft of my proposal in the notebook. Valko was busy looking for a journal, news or e-book about the problem I was going to investigate. After the key points I finished writing, I began to draft my pre-proposal research according to the format of the campus.
Valko still faithfully accompanied me, even though it was very late at night maybe even early. She faithfully watched me occasionally commenting a little to direct or encourage me. My mouth also still gets the intake of snacks from Valko's hands. When my head started to get dizzy and wanted to give up, he gave a caress to me. It was late, it was raining cold. If I'm doing the final task while being gently caressed by a man like this how can I not baper.
"Don't give up, you can!" valko said as he stroked my head. Sometimes my forehead is gently slammed. I feel good to have this kind of treatment from him.
Valko, you know of all the things you do, right now this is what makes me really baper. Accompanying at a happy time is ordinary but accompanying at a time when it is difficult like this is just incredible. Not felt, the pre draft of my proposal with a newly completed title. I also still had time to revise the draft of my old proposal.
"Finally done! Hurrah!" I screamed with excitement.
"Hoahm!" Valko yawning. He turned off the laptop and bent the folding table back. Both are back in the drawer. "It's sleep time!" Valko hugged my back tightly. Valko's eyes were completely shut. I saw that face, I smiled when I saw it.
"Thank you, Valko!" I said as I stroked her cheek. Body is covered.
I remember my smartphone that I was charging earlier. Turn on the smartphone, the mobile data is back on. There was a notification of incoming chat messages. One of the messages caught my attention.The message was from Kai. I open the chat. The message read :
