College Or College Ah?

Pura Luhur Besakih's...

The day begins...

I woke up early in the morning and went to the hotel lobby for breakfast. My body's fresh because I slept well last night. Rani went to bed where she was last night, disappeared and returned to the room at 5 a.m.

"He slept in the waiting room" Ega said.

Ega and I had time to look for it, but because we did not meet finally we reported it to Agung.

Arriving at the Lobby, Hanuka was already sitting neatly and was seen waiting for me.

"Rain, this is the food I've taken" shouted Nunu.

I also sat among them.

"It's really pretty that her hair is picketed one so" said Arika.

"Abis sultry yesterday that's why today I want to pickled just keep her hair" I replied.

The four of us ate at one table while occasionally chatting and joking around with friends at another table.

"Today we go to the Pura Luhur Besakih complex" said Agung.

"Please there you buy a cloth like that scarf, to enter the temple. It is mandatory" said Aji.

Me and my three best friends. We brought him from Bandung. After being told by Nunu about the rules when going to enter Pura Luhur Besakih, it is mandatory to wear cloth.

"Udah on bring right in the bag?" ask Nunu.

"Udah" we answered in unison.

On the way to Pura, the bus panicked after hearing that one of our lecturers had a heart attack on another bus.

‘

Agung who became the coordinator in my bis, asked the driver to stop the bus temporarily.

"We are rich in need of two women to take care of Mr. Yana, it seems he can not continue the journey again" said Agung.

Looking around, no one raised their hands to offer themselves up. I finally held my hand.

"Rain seriously?" ask Great.

"Yes I, at least I give the camera to the other documentation team" I replied.

"OK one more. I will not be pure meaning you who volunteered, I also know you must want to go to Pura together but everything happens beyond our control" said Agung.

"Yaudah, I'm all!" shout Rani.

We were all astonished and glanced simultaneously towards Rani who was sitting the front seat.

I'm not less surprised.

"Why can't my life ever escape from Rani's shadow?" my grumbling in my heart.

The first reason I offered to keep Mr. Yana in the hospital was because I remembered the kindness that Mr. Yana had given me and Ms. Iyas. There is no reason not to help someone who has behaved well to us.

My second reason was because I thought all my friends would be sad when our trip was hampered just by arguing over who would look after Mr. Yana in the hospital. There is no harm in sacrificing yourself for the common good.

"Yaudah Raina with Rani yes, you guys get down here and keep on joining the car. There is Gian and Roby also ko who come" said Agung.

Nunu looked sad with my decision at that time, he did not seem to expect that I would be together with Rani to wait for Mr. Yana.

Especially after realizing that the scarf we had brought specifically for photos together in Besakih, will not be used because of my absence.

"Calm Rain, just till tonight. After Mr. Nanda came from Bandung and Mr. Yana came home you can go back to the hotel" whispered Agung as we passed by the bus door.

"It's okay" I replied.

After the pickup car came, Rani and I got in. Gian and Roby look surprised to see we are alone who offered to wait for Mr. Yana.

"Gi, where is Mr Yana?" my many.

"At the hospital deket hotel" replied Gian.

The four of us went there. Even with the awkward feeling of having Rani among us.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Arriving at the hospital, Mr. Yana has received treatment and is resting in the room.

Gian and I went in to see it in person.

Mr. Yana looked very limp and asked the condition of our friends.

"The party continues, right?" ask her.

"Yes sir, they went on to Besakih ko. Father how is he?" I said.

"Well rain, thank you for taking care of me" he said.

Gian asked me to fill in the patient's bio-data requested by the hospital. Mr. Yana also gave identity cards and family members numbers to be contacted immediately.

"Please Rain, I want to call Mr. Nanda and hopefully he can get a flight here" Gian said.

I saw the look on Gian's panicked face, knowing he was the head of the field team. Then the task to think about how systematic our activities when one of the lecturers could not participate, became the responsibility of Gian.

"Quietly, everything can be overcome. After all, on a bus that does not have a lecturer, there is Arika, right? He can obviously help explain the activity materials as much as he can. Let me ask Arika to be clear" I said.

"Yes Rain, would you please?" said.

Moments later, I've filled out the patient's biodata in the administration. Meanwhile, Rani and Robby wait for Mr. Yana in her room in case she wants a drink or a bathroom.

Gian also called Mr. Nanda, saying he would fly two hours later.

"Rain, how is it not good if Mr. Nanda to his own hotel. Polite don't we send the address and he goes alone from the airport?" ask Gian.

"Lack of courtesy, his position is that we urgent need him. We have to get him to the airport and keep him at the hotel. If there is still time we can follow the group" I explained.

Gian thought hard and finally agreed to my suggestion.

"I'll pick up Mr. Nanda, can you keep Mr. Yana here?" ask Gian.

Seeing Gian's tired face, I asked him to rest for a moment.

"You sit down, rest. Let me pick up Mr Nanda? You are more needed here, who knows the children on the call and need a response from you" I said.

"Yes, but are you really okay?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, can I take a taxi to the airport? Continue to use the same taxi to the same hotel Mr. Nanda. My advice is that Mr. Yana will be picked up by his family members, ask Rani for help with Roby who takes care. You mengding join the group" I explained.

After Gian and I made a deal, we sat in front of the room waiting for news from other friends.

They have almost arrived in Besakih, he said the trip there is very pleasant. The view towards Pura was also very good, Nunu took some photos and sent them to me.

"Your boyfriend sent me a lot of photos" I said.

"Yahaha, he was sad he said you came here with Rani. Though you guys want to take pictures with the same cloth, right?" ask Gian.

"Yes really haha, she was also pouting" I replied.

"You have heard from Iyas about this? He's not mad at me because you didn't take the trip?" ask Gian worried.

I replied that I have not informed Kak Iyas at all and it seems that Kak Iyas will not be angry with Gian either. Everything was purely my decision to take care of Mr. Yana.

"Kabarin aja, who knows he's angry if you're late ngabarin" he replied.

I also tried to call him using Robby's phone that was pinned to me because I didn't have a pulse to call him. How surprised I was when someone else picked up the phone from me.

"Women's voice!" muttered

"Yes, who is it?" ask the woman.

"Where is Brother Iyas?" my many.

"Oh Mr. Andreas is no longer busy. Call me later" she replied, hanging up the phone from me.

I was upset and astonished how could Kak Iyas' cell phone be in the hands of one of his employees. How could he give his cell phone to one of his employees and allow him to pick up the incoming phone?

"The basic employee of the nyebelin" I grumbled.

"Why rain?" ask Gian.

I explained to Gian everything, then Gian took the initiative to call Kak Iyas using his phone.

Soon his employees also picked him up and Gian asked for his phone to be given to Kak Iyas.

"Where are you from? You know, you didn't know your boyfriend called and who picked up your employees. He says you're busy again, keep your girlfriend pouting" explained Gian.

I forcefully took Gian's phone and spoke without a semicolon to Kak Iyas.

"Why can his hape be held by kaka employees? Where he said brother busy call next time. She doesn't know if I'm calling?" grumbling.

"I'm sorry, you called an unknown number so maybe Selvy thought it was a prankster" he replied.

"Where does a prankster call a brother by the call of Kak Iyas? Why should he be given to her hapenya?" grumbling again.

"Hape I'm in-charge at the cashier table, I ask Selvy to pick up if there's a phone call in fear it's important. I also wait for suppliers to send goods" he explained.

I don't know why I'm still upset to hear the explanation, so I immediately return the phone to Gian.

"Just talk to you, I'm sprained" I grumbled as I left the room.

I'm upset because since last night he didn't return my messages properly, he just sent me a smile emoticon without saying anything more.

Plus today it was Selvy who picked up the phone from me.

Soon there was a pulse going into my number, I'm sure it must be from Sister Iyas.

He also called me to apologize and asked me not to be angry with the incident just now.

"Don't be angry, I've been horrified by Gian if you choose to take care of Mr. Yana rather than continue to Besakih, right?" tanyakanya.

"Yes" I replied.

"Isn't Besakih the only place you'd want to come to?" tanyakanya.

"Just love, but how have you gone" I replied.

Pura Luhur Besakih became the only place I researched on the internet.I searched for everything related to Besakih. Besakih Temple Complex is the largest in Bali. Eve around the temple is also said to be cool and beautiful coupled with the scenery around the temple is very beautiful.

This temple consists of several parts, from the lowest to the highest. When going to enter the temple complex, we are required to wear a cloth such as a scarf or the like that is used to cover the waist until the thighs get to the knees. Especially for outdoor tourists who do not wear cloth, but wear pants.

This is done for the sake of maintaining the sanctity of the temple. This rule has been passed down generations and continues to be implemented until now. Again for women who are not allowed to enter, they are only allowed to wait in the courtyard of the temple.

"Oh, if so, I have one request for my sister" I said.

"What?" tanyakanya.

"Later if we're married, honeymoon we have to go to Besakih?" I said.

"Hahaha there's a shrimp behind the rock? Yaudah we will go there" he replied with a laugh.

We talked as usual again. It feels like my frustration is gone because Brother Iyas can always make my mood better.

"Jude, baby, I have to check this stuff. You be careful there" he concluded.

In the evening at the hotel....

After all the problems were solved, I Robby, Gian and Rani went back to the hotel to join the group after delivering Mr. Yana and his family to the airport.

While Mr. Nanda has been in the hotel since this afternoon.

"Rain" cried Hanifa calling out to me shortly after I got out of the car.

Hanifa hugged me and thanked me for being willing to offer to take care of Mr. Yana and take care of everything.

"Yes together, where am I bought by-not from Besakih?" my many.

"Buy ko, we buy the same cloth and hold the same key chain. A lot anyway! Come to my room" he asked.

After finishing up in Hanifa's room, I went back to my room and saw Ega was typing something.

"What time did you do?" my many.

"Tick the data of the interview results are the same as several questionnaires" he replied.

"I'm sorry, so you're not" I said.

"Nothing rain, oya your book also I filled ko tuh is on the table. Another hour we eat and hold discussions in the meeting room. Now mending you shower and get ready" he said.

Meanwhile Rani glanced at me and when I saw her she threw her eyes away in another direction.

Since last afternoon with Rani, I have not been so awkward. Especially after seeing Rani so painstakingly taking care of Mr. Yana. I'm sure Rani could actually change. Maybe with time, Rani can change for the better and be accepted back by all my friends.

After I finished taking a shower, Ega went first to the meeting room because she had to deposit her data to Nirwan.

"I'm waiting downstairs" said Ega.

"Yes" I replied.

Rani still looks relaxed and put herself in bed. I tried to ignore it and straighten myself out.

Until I combed my hair, he walked towards me.

"Your son so you, do the slightest thing still seems good in the eyes of people" he said.

I think Rani has changed but it turns out the way she talks still seems sadistic and hurts other people's feelings.

I kept ignoring Rani and rushed towards the meeting room. But Rani held back my steps.

"Why do you keep me? You want to pretend you didn't see me or didn't hear me until when?" tanyakanya.

"Udahlah Ran, we have been fine for three days. Can you not find a problem?" my answer.

He held the door of the room with his hand, so I had trouble breaking through to get out of the room.

"I desperately look for face so that everyone will look at me, but no one will squirm. No one said "Ran thank you" or "Ran is so good" as they told you" he said.

I smiled and replied to her words.

"Oh so from earlier you behaved well is not sincere huh? I don't have to answer, you find the answer yourself" I said, shaking her hand and opening the door.
