The hardest part after a failure is accepting the truth. However, there is no failure forever. After failure, we will always find happy stories.
***
Day by day change. The wounds from rejection still felt very real for Genathan. Actually, he's embarrassed. I am ashamed to meet so many people. He was embarrassed to answer the question, "Where are the results of SNMPTN lo, Ge?" He is ashamed when people know his failure.
Although he repeatedly heard the phrase, "It's okay to fail." Still Genathan why-why. However, Genathan tries to take it slowly. His life must go on.
Genathan exhaled softly when he saw his friends who took many photos together. Today, Genathan's last day of the school exam. The plan after the school exam is to have a group in the field. They will be performing their last ultras before graduation and are busy preparing for the SBMPTN as well as the Self Exam. Today, Genathan must at least put aside his grief. He has to get through this day happily.
"When are you going to Jogja?"
"Replace it weekly before OSEK times ya."
"Snap?"
"No, there's a brother there."
"Widih, yummy. Crazy cool really my friend has officially become a child of UGM."
Friends laughing. "Lo can do it. I am waiting for you at UGM. We'll take a picture together with almet's gunny sack."
"Oh yes it is clear. Later we sing PPSMB Palapa anthem together."
"Makanya lo spirit of learning for UTBK. If there's anything, don't mention the story to me."
"Ready. Crazy when I'm dizzy myself? You follow me dizzy with my story about UTBK. Even if you've escaped SNMPTN, I'll tell the euphoria of learning to go to lo."
"Must dong, let me know how it feels too."
"Gue also wants to understand how it feels to escape SNMPTN deh."
Genathan was caught listening. The words of the two girls in the long chair across from there quite caught his attention. A pair of friends, one escaped SNMPTN, while the other had to fight again on another road. The last words of the glasses girl were a little more representative of his feelings.
Genathan also wants to know what it's like to qualify for SNMPTN. Genathan also wants to not be dizzy again thinking about learning UTBK.
The next second, the chatter of the two girls was not very Genathan listened to. The guy was cool to drown himself in his own thoughts. His eyes were fixed on the crowd in the field. But his mind is struggling on its own.
A clap made Genathan blink slowly. "Whoi, Ge!" exclaimed Gentala while occupying himself beside Genathan.
"Lo ngagetin aja dah," grumbled Genathan.
"Lo ngalamun, anyway. Think what?" ask Gentala.
Genathan did not answer.
"Still not willing, huh, Ge?" guess Gentala.
Genathan still did not answer. From Genathan's silence, Gentala tried to draw a conclusion.
Answer yes. Genathan is still not willing and can not accept reality fully.
"Gue has no words of motivation, pearls, encouragement, or the like" said Gentala.
"Gue doesn't need either. I'm so sick of the words like that, Ta," Genathan replied.
"OK if that's it. Means I don't have to bother thinking about the words like how should I love to nenangin lo."
A few seconds later, there was only silence between the two men. Equally engrossed in his own thoughts.
"I used to want to go to public high school, Ge. My view of private school is not good. Yes, I used to be that arrogant. Until finally the reality slaps me with me who did not manage to pass PPDB High School Country. Very sad at first. I feel like I'm hiring a lot of people. I am embarrassed every time I am asked about my Junior High School, I go to school where. I still don't accept being a private child. I can't accept that I failed."
The story of Gentala that flows just like that is enough to attract the attention of Genathan. Now the boy focused his attention on his best friend.
"But gradually, I was more receptive. I found out a lot of things, including a good meeting here. I met a really solid and good ultras kid. I found teachers who cared. I am so grateful because I went to school in Cakrawala. I do not imagine if I get fit PPDB country, maybe the story of the gray white period I will not like this. Maybe I will not have an exciting story time up in 3-dimensional koreo fitting the peak of the Cakrawala Cup night. The thing that I did not like, it turns out love a lot of happiness for me." Gentala paused his words a little.
"Gue does not know exactly how it feels to refuse in SNMPTN that you follow, yes because I have already left first after the ranking. But lo's cool. You can compete with many people in the national sphere. Although the results do not match what you want, but you are cool. God's plan ahead, no one knows, Ge. Maybe one, two, three, four more years after this, you will be grateful for this failure. Maybe after this, you will find a more beautiful rainbow. The number of failures has been reduced by one, Ge," said Gentala at length.
It took a few minutes for Genathan to digest Gentala's speech. Before finally the guy breathed out softly and punched Gentala's shoulder slowly. "Lo said he didn't have any words of encouragement, and then that was what was at length."
Gentala laughs. "Lo don't need spiciness. That's my story about me who did not pass PPDB High School. Then if the last one, don't know it's not me who's talking."
Genathan laughed at that. "Dih lo tsundere, really, Ta. Careful, it's hard to get a girl."
"Eh lo don't do that, just have a boyfriend. I just tikung tau lo taste," replied Gentala.
Genathan just laughed.
"Let's join the other ultras kids. I've been on the same drum nyiapin sound check noh. This is our last ultras before graduation, Ge. I'm very sad if you want to pause again we pass," said Gentala.
Genathan looked back at the field. Right, there's been Hasta and some other ultras kids who started taking things out. Before this, they had requested permission from the school and were approved.
"The same tube as the old class, Ta. This is our class don't want a photbar like other classes, huh?" confused Genathan because on the edges of the field a lot of classes that are taking pictures together.
"GEGE, TATA, LO DON'T JOIN ULTRAS FIRST. THIS IS FOTBAR WOI. AWAITED FROM EARLIER, LESS DOANG YOU GUYS!" Long live. One of their classmates shouted and asked Genathan and Gentala to come closer.
Genathan and Gentala got up from their seats and approached the children of his class. Without waiting for long, they immediately took many photos as mementos. Genathan also gave his phone to the photo. He wanted to send her to Resha after this.
After taking a picture, Genathan pulled over for a moment. He wants to send a message to Resha.
Genathan: [send to pict]
Genathan: I took a photo with the class. Try to find which one.
There were no two minutes, there was already a reply from her lover.
Nareshayang: that's the brother in front of himself, the middle, sitting. it looks very clear, next to sister tata
Genathan 100 for you. The gift later when I go home, I stop by bring me a canteen.
Nareshayang : ASIKKKK. OKAY, AWAITED BY GEGE
Genathan chuckles. Once again he reprimanded Gentala for immediately joining the ultras boy. He nodded and put his phone in his pocket. Only then did it join the other ultras kids.
After a sound check and briefing for a moment, the ultras children immediately asked the entire class of 12 to gather in the middle of the field and form a circle. They sang their school mars songs and some of the songs that were commonly sung when ultras. They sit in a circle and give a chance to anyone who wants to reveal something before graduation.
The day's activities, ending with a photo of the force.
That day, Genathan forgot his grief. Genathan wants to rise again. Genathan wants to try to accept reality completely.
Genathan is determined to become even stronger.
For himself and for those around him.
