Love Because ...

Ospek

The morning atmosphere at Tia's house was so crowded, Sriyantika was busy cooking gudeg ingredients, for Tia and Rara brought to Bandung. While Rara and Tia are busy packing in their room. Rara put some clothes in the suitcase lent by Sriyantika, while Tia daydreamed to see the box above her wardrobe. He climbed the bench to be able to reach the so-called box. Drawn the dark brown cardboard on the floor, in the notya contains a black campus alma mater. Remove and spread the alma mater, and put it on the mattress. Underneath there is a badana majors in dark green with the logo of the electro majors on the screen printing that has faded. Then there is a dark blue batik patterned badana. He unveiled his band, thus forming a rectangle. Diliat end of badana inscribed with capital letters RSS. Tia rubbed the writing whose ink had faded. Instantly his memory recalls his encounter with the bandana owner.

2010 Bandung's

Tia frequently sees his favorite campus UPI. It took a great struggle for him to get into this university. Not because of the cost factor, but mother's blessing is so hard to come by. Bu Sriyantika wanted Tia to be a gentle figure, inversely proportional to her wishes, she always wanted to enter the Engineering department.

The word "TECHNIK" which is identical with the adam makes Sriyantika ma'am disagree, while Tia views him as something cool. It is not easy to enter this majors because it requires a high passing grade, which makes it have to study hard to get high grades.

He had wanted to enter ITB or UNS majoring in engineering, but Sriyantika ma'am did not approve because he understood the graduate of the department attracted his daughter to work in the heavy field that is usually done by the adam. It was Education that finally made Sriyantika mom approve her daughter's choice, Electrical engineering education. This major will lead him to become a teacher or lecturer, a profession that can be cultivated by women.

'This is the first day of Tia ospek pih, may Allah always keep papih.' Mumbled Tia dude.

He wagged his sky-blue body on the edge of his campus cooperative, smilingly walking down the riverbank. Accidentally a man hit him making his body fall into a river that flows water quite fast.

Aghs

"Astagfirullah." said Tia.

Tiaa looked at the man who hit him, his body was tall short-haired, his skin was white his eyebrows were thick, his face was handsome. He was wearing a dark green hoodi.

"Oh my God, that's the band."

"I'm sorry I didn't accidentally."

Tia panicked her band was carried away by the current, she was about to go down to the river but the man held her by holding her arm.

"E..eee what do you want?"

"You took a bandana I hunted far away" said tia panicked.

"I don't change it!"

"A further fifteen minutes I was told to gather in the campus field, I don't have time."

The man saw Tia who was wearing a long-sleeved white T-shirt and PDL pants, she was carrying a backpack and her long hair was ponytailed. There was a green band of moss adorning her hair. And a rectangular cardboard inscribed with a "Tia" sheathed.

"You're an electro major, right? I take responsibility, you come with me!"

"Sorry I can't!"

"That's her body don't look too good, hayu ntar you're late!"

Tia was forced to follow the man off campus, seeing that the store was still closed at morning.

"A where the store's going is still closed" Tia asked in a panic. "Astagfirulloh aa I was late" his eyes glazed with fear because he was late to follow the activities of ospek on his first day.

"You calm us down to the FPTK building first, aa have a bandana, come on!"

Tia resignedly followed her to the building, after arriving at class, the man pulled a dark blue badana from his backpack.

"This cake!" bargained for.

"A I was told to use a sky blue bandana instead of dark blue, well I can be punished this." lamented Tia began to sob. "Try me if I take the body earlier, certainly not rich gini!" Crying makes the man more guilty.

"Don't be nagged, don't be afraid to come with me." she pulled Tia's arm.

They both went to the FPTK field, Tia who was thirty minutes late mentally braced her to be punished by senior brother HME (Electrical Student Association).

In the field the maba have lined up neatly, there are some maba on the sidelines are in the law because it violates the rules. Tia nervously walked over to the senior who was already whispering a look towards her. Then a pair of seniors approached him.

"Rio kang Assalamualaikum? why's kang, is he late?" say it to the man who has hit Tia. Tia just found out the man next to her named Rio. Rio took the pair of seniors away to chat negotiate something. Before long the female senior approached Tia.

"Hey you, quickly enter the ranks!" he's the one who got Tia out of the way. Tia immediately lined up neatly in the last row of women.

The major that Tia took was Electrical Engineering which ninety percent of its students were men. The opening of the FPTK major ospek took place calmly and tensely. Tia joined the group, the Rose team served as a member.

"Hey you!" snapped one of the elder (female elder sister) called out to Tia.

"Yes tea." Tia immediately stood up a perfect attitude including all the other members, respecting her senior Yanti.

"That's why the band's dark blue?"

"Each teteh, my bandana fell into the river, I have permission from the senior teteh there to use this bandana" said Tia firmly.

"Other times be a child do not be careless, just enter first already made it wrong!" yanti tea snapping.

"Ready, I'm sorry!"

"Well, what color is your own band, you have to be the leader of the group, UNDERSTAND?!"

"Understanding!" tia said asserting his senior instructions.

"I don't agree yet". cut Elin the head of the Rose team.

"WHAT? you dare to sue my decision!" yanti shouted furiously at Elin's words.

"I'm sorry I mean, I just want to save my members." Elin, an idealistic freshman, objected to her position being replaced by Tia.

"meaning?"

"At the beginning of the implementation alone Tia was careless, I was afraid that if he became the chairman he could not lead the group well, I felt he was incompetent" explained Elin. Tia was upset to hear Elin's explanation that was ridiculing her.

"Keep your magsud, are you competent?"

Elin silently did not answer.

"ANSWER!!" teh Yanti shouted right in front of Elin's face.

"Based on my preparation, and there has been no carelessness that I have done, I am competent at all" replied Elin Pd.

"What a PD! a leader's judgment is not by himself but according to others. Push up you fifty times."

Elin who tried to maintain his position was punished by senior, finally he took a push-up position.

"Count!" said Yanti tea.

Tia counted Elin who was pushing up, there was a little bit of pleasure in her. The person who denounced him was punished. Elin who was originally the group's leader was replaced by Tia.

"All the students back in line like the original formation with their respective groups!" sahut kang Toni senior brother using Toa. "Let's hurry fast!" he said with a loud and loud voice.

Tia marched in front of the five female student members. Two of them are the Department of Electrical Engineering Education, namely Elin or his full name Elinda and Tia, three majors in Electrical Engineering Winda, Rima and Sarah who wear a hijab, and one D3 Yeni electro major also wears a white hijab.

"Now you fold the band and close your eyes tight with badana, if anyone peeks I will not hesitate to punish you!"

The maba quickly closed their eyes with their respective bandanas.

"Now please hold the shoulder of your friend in front of you, you wait for instructions from your guide to enter the truck in an orderly and careful manner, do not rush!" said kang Toni with a voice getting louder.

Tia who was standing in the earliest row waiting for instructions from the guide, until someone led her hand to hold the shoulder of the other maaba, she walked carefully so as not to fall.

"Now you all line up in straight groups, then lie on all fours forward and the team leader please guide the team to crawl forward." instructions kang Toni again.

"Okay guys, follow my cue, we count one two one two two hard, let's not find" Tia yelled at the members.

Tia immediately took a crawling position, her palms felt wet. No matter what, he dropped his body to the ground. He could feel the front body wet, the smell of grass and mud smelled so sharp. Tia who used to get spoiled treatment from her mamih now she had to crawl in the mud with her eyes closed, she strengthened her mentality to undergo this ospek according to her will.

"Okay the rose group ready?" yanti's tea yells.

"Ready tether!" group of roses yanti compact tea.

"Go's!"

"One two one two one two two." cried Tia guiding her members crawling towards the front, fumbling with dirt and mud. Occasionally sharp pebbles hurt depressed palms. They could not see how they were doing, all they could feel was muddy and grass swarming their bodies.

"Stop! Stand up and straighten out your line if something isn't straight, I'm the law!" yanti shouts tea to the Rose team.

"Ready motion!" Tia shouted preparing straightening out her members line.

"Front of motion... straighten!"

He was silent for a moment waiting for his members to straighten out his line.

"Have it been straight?" ask Tia.

"Ready already!" answer the members loudly.

"Tegaaaakk motion!"

Now the rose group awaits instructions from the senior while waiting for the other team to crawl towards the room. None of the members are crooked rows, all orderly. There was a slight mistake, a snatch and a punishment they had to get.

After all the maba gathered, kang Toni told them to open their respective bandanas. Tia saw herself in a large field, surrounded by dense trees. All the clothes and faces were dirty from the mud. Tia who was looking around, her attention was turned to Rio kang which made her band get swept into the river. Diliat from after wearing an alma mater jacket, it turns out he is one of the committee ospek majors.

Eleven hours the maaba was told to keep the tent that had been prepared, then change clothes to perform dhuhur prayer. That's where every member of the maba can get to know each other as well as Tia and its members.

Elin's dislike is clearly seen by Tia. Elin often ignored Tia's orders, even he took a queue to the toilet to change the dhuhur prayer clothes. Tia was just being patient getting a group member like her.

After the prayers and lunch, all the ma'as regrouped in the field. The maba do the activities of compactness of the game and make yel yel members. Tia is a good leader for his team, several times he won in several games. Almost all the members cheered Tia, except Elin. Elin is so unruly, Tia has to snap at him to make him comply.

"Okay now the last game, you have the group flag, you have to respect your team flag. How to make a flagpole from the stick and rope in your team. If the pole is ready, please the chairman and deputy install the pole in front of the room. If the flag cannot stand, fall or be late. That means you can't appreciate your flag, so you should be punished if you fail. Fifteen minutes from now. Go!" kang Toni.

"Okay gini. There are six sticks, we make three as legs, two sticks as pole support, and one stick as pole understand?" tia said giving instructions.

"Ready understanding." replied the Rose member.

"But what is less high Ti? why don't we make four sticks as feet and two sticks as poles." said Elin who wants his flag flying high.

"The important thing is that the flagpole can stand, why use a buffer so that the balance is strong, do not need to be too high because the risk of falling is greater." explained Tia, "Okay start, I, Rima, Winda, and Sarah connected the legs of the stick and the flagpole, and Elo Yeni, Elin, made two sticks into the letter T for the pole support. Go!"

The group of roses were so busy cultivating the flagpole, in contrast to Elin looking less spirit.

"Elin the real dong." Yeni protest.

"Gue really is." Elin snapped at Yeni.

"Five more minutes!" Shouted kang Toni.

"Where are you ready to support Elin, Yeni?" ask Tia.

"Ready." said Yeni. They connect the bottom of the foot of the pole with a support. Almost all the groups had already collected their poles, there were only five more that did not belong to the Tia group. Tia saw Elin's uncoupled buffer bond die.

"Why not be put to death?" tia asked annoyed.

"Do not be strong" said Elin relaxed.

"And I said fasten and strong, how to want ..."

"Okay time is running out collect the pole in front, ten, nine,...!"

kang Toni is counting.

"Let's take a cepet of kumpulin!" send the Rose team to Tia and Elin. Tia had no other choice, he and Elin immediately raised the pole to the airy front. Tia stuck the legs of the flag on the ground with all her might, Elin just silently looked at Tia.

"Two, one. Just raise your hand!" sahut kang Toni's.

Tia raised her hand not to touch her flag, and it turned out to be true Tia's guess. One end of the support stick falls down because it is less strong. Tia deg-degan hopes the flag doesn't collapse. The two ends of the stick were still firmly propping up the pole, and the Rose group pole could still stand perfectly.

There were about four groups whose poles could not stand, they received push-ups, snaps and other punishments. The group of roses cheered happily because they managed to fly the flag even though one end of the support stick fell. After that all the maba lined up perfectly, respectfully standing upright singing the national anthem.

Five o'clock more towards the magrib, the maba are told to docked to the mosque. Including the Rose team, but Tia instead drags Elin, away from the tent.

"What's loe's problem?" tia said to Elin.

"What problem?" elin said casually.

"Hey Elinda! I'm not*** yes, from the beginning mpe games loe to the act continues, elo aware not the heck elo almost make us in the law earlier." snapped Tia angry, elo aware, Elin was silent and even looked around not touching Tia.

"What's your problem, answer me!" terial Tia pushed onto Elin's irritated shoulder that ignored her.

"Don't push dong, relax ja!" Elin pushed Tia's shoulder back.

"Yes, you've been honest with me, what's the problem loe, why don't you compact the other rich?"

"Loe color!" snapped Elin.

"What?"

"Gue wants you to be self-reliant and recommend me to be team leader!"

"So how do you from the morning rich gini just because you want to be the team leader? Loe's aware of it? just now elo almost for our members to be punished, how can I believe that bad attitude loe rich that?"

"What's bad loe say?" Elin did not accept the talk, pushing Tia's shoulder again until Tia bounced back a few steps.

"It's bad, why? I don't want to give up leadership as lowly as rich loe!" Tia pointed and pushed Elin's shoulder harder until Elin fell to the ground.

"Hey hey stop!" Rio caught them both fighting, he helped Elin stand up. "Aren't you papa?" ask Rio.

Elin looked towards Rio, rarely did she find a good senior brother not snapping at his junior sister. Rio was indeed more subtle to the women, he just snapped and smashed at the male servant, he felt unbearable because he had an older sister.

"What's the matter, why are you still here?"

Tia and Elin quietly did not answer.

"What's kang?" sahut Yanti followed Rio.

"No papa, they're just late for the mosque, still talking here." Rio explained lying, not wanting Tia and Elin to be punished by his seniors.

"Because of you, go quickly to the mosque!" yanti snapped, Tia and Elin immediately ran to the mosque.
