Aretta & Secrets

Outing Classes

The campus hall door stood firm and dashing before me. The color was black and looked gloomy for some reason as if it was flowing negative energy that made me shudder. The campus we went to is indeed one of the state campuses that has good prospects, but not everything that looks beautiful will be beautiful as well when we enter and try to become one of its members. For example, as now. I don't feel right in this place.

And now I can only sigh softly because that big door is so intimidating. I even took a few steps back because of the discomfort.

A few seconds waiting, the door finally opened from the inside. Rafa immediately pulled me in to see how things were going in there. A very large room with a high roof became a sight that we could see for the first time. Like a meeting hall in general, it's just that this place looks a bit formal and well maintained. Fortunately, my feelings slowly improved so that there were no longer any traces of the terrible that had stopped before. I feel like I can continue my activities here.

After believing that all the students had entered, we were asked to gather and wait for someone who would be the host during our stay here. A man appears using the campus alma mater. The man with a height of 170 cm was apparently one of the members of BEM, because he had a friendly smile typical of salesmen. Welcome speech and pleasantries he chanted, although it was a common thing but somehow did not manage to attract my attention.

He was not alone as there were still a few more students with the same alma mater standing also within this hall. They asked us to sit in the space provided while some of the students began to close the door. The air inside changed. It feels stuffy and damp. I don't like this kind of air, it's suffocating and it's like not letting me breathe freely.

"First of all I want to say sorry because we had to close the door of the hall. The students here are ignorant and surely later they will swarm the door which even makes you less free," said the man who became the filler this time, "I wanted to introduce myself first. My name is Son, a second-year medical student at this university. Today I will be your tour guide. So if later anyone wants to be asked directly tell me. No need to hide."

"Well then we start our tour today" he said, "on every floor you will pass, there will be someone wearing the same alma mater as I wear. That person is the committee that will help you in case you get lost or left behind. And also, if you want to ask but are too embarrassed to say it out loud, you can also ask what you want to the big brother."

"And one more thing, there are still many benefits that you can get if you have a plan to become a student here." He explained very clearly.

"Because all the organizers are already in their respective places, so we can start our tour today. Everything stands and the first goal we will go to is the faculty of art and drama.

I really listened to the explanation from Brother Putra because I really anticipated that I would not get lost. If such a bad thing were to happen to me, I could use the information given earlier to save myself.

in the other corner there is also a cafeteria which when viewed from where I stand it looks like a cafe. I'm amazed. When I turned to my side, I suddenly chuckled at Rafa's expression that was the same as mine.

"Lo want to go to college here?" ask me as soon as we pass the classes that are filled with lectures.

"Of course," he replied excitedly, "this is the campus of my dreams. Even though it looks like a college campus is expensive, they do not discriminate and still allow ordinary people to enter here. And most importantly, they treat all their students equally. He wants an office boy or a vegetable boy." Rafa spoke as if he had also become one of the slips offering prospective students to enter here.

"So... Which department will you choose? Do you have any idea what you'll do after you graduate school?"

"Not yet" the attitude of enthusiasm that had disappeared suddenly like steam, "make determining the future is not as easy as it seems. For now I am still confused about what to choose. Today I want to go into management, next week I have another wish." I nodded in understanding. What happened to him also happened to me, eating him I just let my life flow like water.

We chatted for quite a while and I also still kept looking to the right and left to look for objects that attracted attention. Unconsciously my head looked ahead. There were Aidan and Miss Naura, our Math teacher. Although there are not many young teachers but in school there are still female teachers who are not married. Miss Naura is one of them. He was only 3 years adrift with Aidan and it seems that the woman liked Aidan.

Miss Naura never stopped looking at Aidan and every time Aidan looked at her, the woman was misbehaved. I still watch the behavior of both. Shy Miss Naura and Aidan are reading a brochure.

Though Kak Putra was still blabbering at length in front there, but what he explained about all the things that were here really did not interest me. Many of which he showed, literature faculty, a large class that can accommodate 100 students and also a special dance hall. Indeed for what? All my life I have never danced let alone danced and it is certain that this room is only used by people who in fact in life need dance lessons. Such people are rich people who always attend parties of course. It's not people like me who are so uninterested in anything complicated.

And we arrived at the cafeteria I was telling you about. They let us eat all the snacks that were here before going back to continue the tour again later.
