Behind the Grey Cloud

44 The Champion

I've been in this Olympics for a week.

And today is the jury's decision on our hard work.

Today also the closure of this activity was carried out.

From the morning we were all busy cleaning up all the necessities we brought here.

The closing schedule and announcement will be held later at 10:00

"It doesn't feel like May we have to split up. Though I still want to always study with you." Aini told me.

"Yes Ai, me too. Hmmm, but we can still communicate. And if you have time, you can play in my place." I replied to Aini

Wiping away the tears, Aini hugged me tightly. I also sobbed in his arms

After that, Ms. Retno went into the room.

"Well, what's going on with each other?" said Ms. Retno

"Yes to Bu. We are sad because we want to part. I want Aini anyway we keep learning here." replied Aini with a smile.

"You can do it." replied Miss Retno

After we get ready, we head for the hall. Our place will close and wait for the announcement.

Me, Aini, Miss Retno, and Ms. Saudah took their places in the middle and not far from the entrance.

"Good afternoon the members of the race and the accompanying teachers, it does not feel today we are at the end of the event.

During this week we learn together in joy and sorrow.

I am also looking forward to waiting for this announcement.

"Okay, I'll continue. For the winners of champion III, namely Agnes and Basya . please come forward.

Nhaaa, next is what we are waiting for, which is our first winner.

However, in the rules of this race we have to choose the best among the best.

Congratulations to Mayang and Aini and please get on stage."

My heart thumped when I heard my name called. I can't believe that I can be a champion in this race.

Aini and I also came forward to receive awards from the chairman of the committee and the Head of the local Office.

"Congratulations to Mayang and Aini. Keep this great achievement of yours. You're proud of you guys. Hopefully you can achieve your goals." said the head of the Department to us.

" Yes sir. Thank you also for your guidance during our race here." I reply to him

After the award-sharing event in the form of 🏆 trophies, trophies, and also scholarship money, the event continued with greetings to the participants and accompanying teachers.

This activity is very moving.

Many participants had to split up.

"May, don't forget to call me when you get to Jakarta. We're gonna be friends, right?" said Aini when we were going to get in the car

" Yes Ai, definitely. We will forever be friends. We can still communicate with each other.

Yes, I said yes first.

Come on, ma'am, we'll take care of you."

After hugging Aini and shaking hands with Ms. Saudah, me and Ms. Retno got into the car.

The car kept driving us home.

Since this morning, I've been calling Ms. Yasmin when we're going home today.
