Even & Odd

16

Almost all students of Sebangsa High School 12 are busy with test-study. This is done because they will soon face the National Examination and other Exams to get into the campus of the majors they want.

The twins, especially Fersya. Fersya had said before that he would not fight all out in the UTBK exam later, so early in the morning studying at school for the UN, returning to study for the UTBK exam later.

Fersya can not be as fast as before, go home can play to the house of Aries or to the park near the house of Aries. Now it can't be that fast. Even Aries is now also preoccupied with training.

Unlike Fersya who trains with questions, if Aries trains with the ball. Aries is trained by Mr. Andre, their gym teacher.

Although Fersya and Aries rarely play again today, but they can still meet during the break. Because it's like a routine meeting schedule, Fersya, Farsya, Niko and Aries, they always meet and chat in the cafeteria.

As of now, with the same order, that's-that's it. Soto Umi shops. The four of them never get tired of eating soto made by Umi canteen. I don't know what Umi gave the canteen to her soto because almost every day they are amazed by the taste.

"Gue does not understand, Soto made by Umi is getting better and better. I think I have to steal the secret recipe of Soto made by Umi" said Aries on the sidelines of his meal.

"No need to worry, plankton is difficult to steal the recipe krabby patty, lo again who do not have the experience to be supportive." Fersya hit the back of the Aries slightly, thus making the guy choke and rush to drink.

By giving an annoyed plot to Fersya, which Fersya replied by sticking his tongue out.

They continued eating peacefully without any debate from Fersya and Aries.

"Ris, where do you want to go?" ask Niko after she finishes her meal.

Aries who was also finished with his meal, he took his drink first and answered the question from Niko earlier. "Gue didn't go to college, Nik."

Aries answer that not only makes Niko surprised but makes Farsya before Aries also surprised.

"Why?" this question is not from Niko, but from Farsya.

With a smile that pretentiously shy Aries tells that he wants to be a national team player.

"Choose, you shy ass. Usually embarrassed too. Ris, setop pairs face smile-smile pretentious lo. Disgust!" fersya said as she looked at Aries who was still putting on her shy smile.

Again, Aries gives a pissed-off plot to Fersya.

"When's the selection, bro?" said Niko.

"The selection does not know when. But make the registration a week after the UN."

"That means you don't join SNMPTN as SBM yes." said Farsya while nodding his head. "Success is for you. May all our dreams, hopes and ideals be realized."

The three of them nodded in agreement in the heart of Farsya's words earlier.

The entrance bell reads, they must return to their respective classes and be ready to study again for the Try Out exam next week.

***

The Try Out exam will be over in a few minutes. All 12th graders are seriously working on them. There are some who are finished and choose to sleep while waiting for the bell to ring. There are also those who are still busy working on problems that either there are still many that have not been filled or just a few more problems.

I don't know, thankfully Fersya had finished the matter 15 minutes before the bell. The remaining five minutes the bell would ring, many of his friends starting to panic. Fortunately, his hard work to learn a week before TO came to fruition. Although Fersya did not know whether his TO results would be good or not, he chose to believe in his hard work.

As pepata said, effort never betrays results.

The bell rang, faces of relief and regret united in each class. But they can not go straight home because there will be counseling on the procedure of registration of SNMPTN in the school hall.

The show started quickly and finished quickly as well. Stay 12th grade students register for SNMPTN and choose the desired campus and department. Actually to register SNMPTN can be done at school or at home.

Coincidentally, the twins' friends filled the school, so the twins were gathered in the back yard of the school and sitting in a reading park near the dam.

Are there Aries and Niko?

Oh, of course there is. Where there are twins there must be Aries and Niko.

The twins and Niko are ready to open the LTMPT link and register SNMPTN. Aries who actually has no interest says that he only wants to support his friends and feel euphoria deg-degan due to SNMPTN registration.

Fersya had said that he would fight all out in the UTBK exam later, but when the day of registration SNMPTN arrived, the feeling to fight for his choice in SNMPTN arose.

Flashbacks

One week before the Try Out exam, the twins were having dinner together. It just so happened that the father of the twins came home quickly and was able to eat with his wife and children.

When they were all done with their own food, Fani suddenly started talking. This time without further ado, Fani immediately asked or rather gave a statement to Fersya.

"You want to go to college with Aca. No need for one department is okay, dear." of course the statement is intended for Fersya.

"Ma..." Rido held his wife's arm intending for it to be discussed later. But it seems that Fani did not pay attention to the meaning because Fani even continued his words again.

"There are also tourism majors Eca. Nothing you do not join SNMPTN, the issue of fees for SBM registration later Mama all who set, the important thing is you are one campus with the same Aca?"

Fersya who had not drank after he finished his meal earlier so did not intend to continue that intention.

"Why the hell Ma? Why should I be with Aca again?" asked Fersya while looking down. He did not dare to raise his head and return his Mama's gaze. He was afraid his tears would come out.

Whenever the debate concerns him, Fersya and his father just keep quiet. Although his father had a little intruded, but that was only once. The rest just remained silent. Either they don't dare to break Mama or they don't really care about Fersya.

Often Fersya feels immune to this, but often Fersya can not feel okay when things like that happen again.

Her mother did not answer, I don't know what her mother thought.

"Is it because of Aca's asthma? Ma, Aca is great, he can take care of himself. Moreover, it does not mean that Eca is on the same campus as Aca, so Eca can continue to take care of Aca." this time Fersya did not duck again. He dared to look into his mother's eyes.

"If you are on campus with you who knows who can often meet, continue if your schedule is the same you can go and go home together. So you don't have to worry too much about me."

His mother's words were enough to make him hurt. Fersya wanted to say if his mother was only worried about Farsya? Is your mother not worried about him?

Again, Fersya decided to hold back all these feelings and chose to go straight to his room. Closing the door of her room tight and crying behind her pillow.

"Lo doesn't need to be involved said Mama Fer. Admit what you want." Farsya's words not only made Fersya surprised because his daydream was stopped but also made him stunned.

Although Farsya did not defend or say anything to him at that time, but Farsya always supported him without the knowledge of their Mama or Father. Farsya always tried to understand himself, why did Fersya not do the same thing this time?

Farsya gave him a calming smile. Fersya thought it might be a good idea to consider the words of his mother.

Indeed, if you want to register SNMPTN can not choose a major whose degree is D3, must be S1. While Fersya is not likely to miss this opportunity, after all he still has one reserve of majors that he wants in addition to tourism.

Fersya returned his twin smile and immediately typed the name of the campus and the major. When he finished he put his phone.

"Lho Fer, you're not a Tourism major at number one?" it was Aries who surprised Farsya.

Farsya took Fersya's phone and saw that what Aries said was true. In the first order listed the name UI Forestry and second place UB Tourism. Farsya stared at the twin, asking for Fersya's explanation.

Fersya just smiled and whispered later. Farsya let him, let him bill at home later.

Fersya actually did not put too much hope on both campuses, because he was self-aware, the value was not too enough to enter the two famous campuses. Unlike the UTBK exam later, because the value used is the UTBK value which means Fersya still has the opportunity to enter the department and the campus of his dreams.

The only way is to study hard.

Aries had put on a questioning gaze, just like Farsya had. Niko just stared at him confusedly. Maybe Niko wasn't told by Farsya about the issue.

Without any more ba-bi-bu Fersya chose to run away. He got up from his stool and walked towards the school fence.

"Lho even run away Fer" said Aries while grumbling. "Gue forgot that Fersya likes to run away. No wonder he wanted to study tourism. I followed Fersya first! Bye guys!!!" aries said to the two lovebirds who were still sitting in his place.
