Inside a bright and energetic classroom, Lana sits among her friends with her book and pen ready to take notes. Lecturer in finance, Professor Williams, stood in front of the room with a large whiteboard behind him. Enthusiastically, he started today's learning session.
"Good morning, everybody! Today we are going to talk about the financial management of the company. We will understand how to manage cash flow and assets to keep the company running smoothly. Let's get started!"Professor William said in a tone that made the atmosphere warmer.
The students listened seriously, including Lana. He is very interested in finance and is always eager to understand complex concepts. Professor Williams delivers the material in a fun way, using examples from real life to clarify each concept.
Several times, there are students who ask questions or give responses to the material being taught. Discussions ensued, and Lana took an active part in giving her opinion. He feels good to be able to interact with his classmates in learning, because this is where he feels involved in the learning process.
Occasionally, the learning atmosphere is made more relaxed by some students. After a serious discussion, they laughed together and shared a light story with each other. Lana smiles at the funny stories that make the classroom atmosphere more fun.
"Good, kids! I am glad to see your spirit of learning. Now let's continue with the analysis of the company's financial statements. This will help you make the right decisions in the business world."
The material on the analysis of financial statements was presented clearly by Professor Williams. The students took note diligently, including Lana who tried to digest every piece of information carefully.
Some time later....
Scene:
Inside the lecture hall filled with students and students, Professor William finished giving his final explanation. He shifted the glasses on his nose and smiled at the students.
"All right, that's all my explanation. I hope you all understand the material I have delivered. This is the 7th semester, so prepare yourself well as this will be a challenging semester. Feel free to seek help from a classmate or me if you have any questions."
"Thank you, Professor William. We thank you for your explanation and advice. We will work hard to face this semester."there is a student who is really serious about his learning.
"Very good. Remember that it is important to make good use of time and maintain a balance between study and other activities. May you be successful in your academic journey."
After Professor William finished giving his last piece of advice, students and students began to scatter out of the lecture hall. Lana, who was still focused with her thoughts, looked at Mia who was standing in front of her with a cheerful smile.
Mia gently shook Lana's arm. "Come, Lana! Let's go to the cafeteria. I want to eat something good. We can rest for a while after that serious lecture."
Lana smiled and shook her head, she said."I actually still have to finish some work, Mia. But. yeah, maybe I need a little break."
"Oh, come on! You can finish it later. Now, let's enjoy our time together and share our stories in the cafeteria. I promise I'll make you laugh!"
Somehow Lana felt comforted by this crisp joke from her friend. He refused his invitation to go to the cafeteria.
"Well, you really like to spoil me. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria!"
When they arrived outside the lecture hall, Lana felt the warmth of the pleasant afternoon sun. Mia held Lana's hand and they walked together towards the cafeteria, joking and laughing along the way.
Soon, Lana and Mia enter the university's bustling cafeteria, where tables and chairs are filled with students eating, talking and laughing. The aroma of delicious food wafted in the air, creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
As they searched for a seat, Lana suddenly had her eyes fixed on Rayhan who was sitting at one of the tables with some friends. Mia spontaneously looks at Rayhan and smiles cheerfully, without feeling embarrassed because everyone at the university knows about their relationship.
Mia while holding Lana's hand, pointed in the direction where Rayhan was. "Look, Lana! Rayhan was there. Let's join them."
But somehow Lana was feeling a bit nervous, but she still agreed, 'kasian Mia if she refused."Um, okay. Let's go."
They walked towards the table where Rayhan and his friends were. As they approached the table, Rayhan looked at Lana and Mia with a warm smile on her face.
Rayhan greeted the two of them with a hand up. "Hi, Mia! Hi, Lana! Join us."
Mia smiled and said."Hi, Rayhan"
"Hi, Rayhan. How was your day?" greet Lana too.
"Today is fine. Come on, sit here. These are my friends, Rian and Sarah."
Rian and Sarah kindly greet Lana and Mia, showing their warmth and hospitality. Lana feels a little more calm and comfortable with the presence of Mia, Rayhan, and her friends around her.
It's still better than him being left as a petromak lamp for Mia and Rayhan. That way you are not so awkward as yesterday in the campus event.
The canteen itself is a spacious room with a variety of neatly arranged tables and chairs. The walls are adorned with inspiring pictures and several bulletin boards about campus events. Around the canteen, there are various food counters that offer a selection of dishes ranging from snacks to heavy meals.
Lana sits between Mia, Rayhan, Rian, and Sarah at a table in the cafeteria. They were talking and laughing together. Lana feels warm and comfortable in the midst of this togetherness. Despite only being at a new university, she felt like she had found friends who were in line with her.
They share stories, laugh together, and provide support for each other. In that excitement, Lana feels completely forgotten about her dark time with Kevin who is now in a different city.
With every laugh heard, every smile shown, and every gaze full of warmth, Lana felt that her future on this campus was full of new opportunities. He saw that there was so much he could accomplish and enjoy here, with new friends accepting him for who he was.
In that warmth and joy, Lana let go of her painful past and looked forward with renewed hope and vigor. The university is a place where she can create a new identity and life, and right now, with her new friends, she feels truly welcome and appreciated.
Lana really wants to forget Kevin but can she.
