Renita felt restless, the woman was unable to sleep last night. Words given by Prof. Dahlan

The Rector of the University of Struggle, could not be lost and went from his ears. The man had already come to him specifically, and asked him to become the official Vice Rector for General Administration and PSDM for the next four years. As a hindrance to the woman, this position did not begin to coincide with the beginning of the inauguration, but replaced the Deputy Rector official who he said had submitted his resignation,

“Sorry sir, I cannot replace Mr. Leo for that post. I do not dare sir, let alone the reason I replaced Mr. Leo, because he was completing his studies.” Remembering the rejection Renita had done this afternoon.

“Listen to me mbak Renita, not without reason why I choose mbak Renita to accompany me.

For years, we've been working together on a team, and I know how dedicated Renita is to this college. Do not refuse my request, this is my order as Rector.” The rector insisted

“Allow me to speak to Mr. Leo first sir. As soon as we meet, I make sure that Mr. Leo will

Back willing to occupy the position,” Back Renita asked for time to approve the offer.

Renita has since 1997 joined as a lecturer at the University of Struggle, and is very understanding of how the character of the people in the college. The problem of playing klenik has become a habit of many lecturers and old employees there. In fact, not infrequently, just entered the campus location, a sprinkling of flowers, yellow rice, often found on the floor in the campus.

“Already.., there is no need to talk to Mr. Leo. If Leo has not sent a letter of resignation to

the Foundation party, I may still be able to consider it, but, without speaking to me, Mr. Leo has already passed the Boundaries, sending a letter of resignation to the Foundation. Only Renita, who I think is suitable and appropriate to continue holding the position,” Rector continues to try to pressure Renita. They were both in the Rector's room, no one else was there.

“Quick sign this statement!” Again the Rector handed a piece of HVS A4 size paper to the woman.

“Ijin I think first Mr. Rector, because I need to ask my husband for permission.” in a subtle way, Renita keeps trying to buy time.

“Or I will ask permission to husband mbak Renita.?” hearing Renita's reasoning, Prof. Dahlan urged the woman even more.

“Pardon sir, I will personally deliver to my husband. Permission to leave the room first

sir, and ask for time to think first.” Renita immediately asked permission to leave the Rector's room. Confusion struck the woman.

“Alright.., please consider my request.” Before Renita came out of the room, Prof. Dahlan's Back

tell that woman.

“Inshaa Allah sir, excuse me, Assalamu alaikum.” Renita said her greeting then walked towards the direction

the exit from the Rector's room.

“Wa aleikum salam.” replied Rector.

Renita still vividly recalled what she had experienced in the office this afternoon. That woman too

I don't know why prof. Dahlan continued to urge him to take the post. Whereas at the University of Struggle, many lecturers have high capabilities and capabilities. Finally not long after, the woman fell asleep with a concussion.

As usual, every 07:30, Renita always tries to arrive on time in her study. As

a superior of the Head of the Academic and Student Administration Bureau or abbreviated as BAAK, this woman does want to always set a good example for her men. Working hours at the University of Struggle start at 08.00 am, and will end at 14.00 pm.

“Good morning ma'am Renita.” just opened the door, it turns out that Mr. Hans male employee who has limited speaking said hello to the woman.

while walking to his desk.

“Not yet.” replied mr. Hans briefly.

Renita immediately put her bag on the table, then the woman began to turn on the laptop on the table.

In addition to being a lecturer in the Management study program, Renita has indeed since this period been asked to be willing to assume the position of Head of BAAK, with five people under him. Although she has limitations in the field of computer programs, but Renita has good leadership, this woman not only put herself as a superior, but also put herself as a mother for her men.

Not long after the woman sat in her chair, one by one to four men began to arrive. They greeted and headed to Renita's place to shake hands. After they finished the handshake ritual, they returned to sit on the chairs behind their respective work desks.

“Mas Hasto, later meet with me for a moment yes, There's something I'll talk about.” Inside the BAAK room, Renita

it is closest to Hasto. Not only Renita, even her husband and two children also have a closeness with young men. When Hasto got married, Renita and her family became the only family to be his escort.

“Pak rector asked me to assume the position of Vice Rector in place of Mr. Leo.” Renita said weakly.

A smile appeared in Hasto's mouth.The young man did indeed acknowledge his cleverness, and leadership.

“Why are you smiling Hast.?” Renita asked with a slight loud voice at Hasto.
