Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 14: Osek

Today the announcement of the results of the UMPTN exam.

A week feels like a year of waiting. Early in the morning I rushed to the market to buy a newspaper.

Arriving home, I noticed one by one the names listed there. It's enough to drain the brain to see the small writings in this newspaper.

Zanu Plovie Evgas, graduated from the Faculty of Law, Department of Criminal Law.

"Alhamdulillah.., I graduated as well," I said gratefully.

"Father, Mama, Zuri! Brother graduated this..," I shouted in the living room.

Just a moment of screaming made Papa, Mama and Zuri approach.

"Alhamdulillah son, may you be blessed" said Mama while hugging me.

"Congratulations, son, Papa is proud of Zanu" said Papa, rubbing my head.

"Sister, I don't think you can graduate. Congratulations, dear brother," said Zuri directly hugging me.

"Okay, since Zanu graduated, tonight we're eating out," Mama said later.

"Horris... Thank you, Mama,"

"Together,"

*******

At night, we are getting ready to go out to dinner together.

This time we go to the Padang restaurant which has a fried duck menu. Coincidentally tonight is Sunday night, so no wonder the atmosphere is so crowded there.

Not only bring their families but there are many young people come here, just for a date or to celebrate something.

We take a place near the entrance, so it's easy to see people passing in and out.

The menu list is already on the server. After selecting the menu to order, the waiter rushed to the kitchen to finish the order.

Papa and Mama chat about returning home ahead of the eid later. And it's still next year, hi.hi..

I never thought I'd suddenly see Vincent being with a new girl, back inside.

The deg!! I turned my face to avoid Vincent's sight. Luckily Vincent didn't see me.

Change Vincent's girl again, what's the new boyfriend? Or his affair, huh?

I don't really care about that, because Vincent can't make my heart really melt. Not like how I feel about my brother and the pen guy.

Yup! The pen guy! The feeling was present again. In fact, I do not know that figure, even his name I do not know.

Why is he? Conscious Zanu!!

"Zanu!!" mama said with a little loud tone.

"From that call, you why Zanu?"

"Why, Ma" I replied in shock.

"That food's on the table. Wash your hands there first,"

"Good Ma,"

I rushed to the hand wash. Suddenly Vincent came to me.

"Zanu, how are you? We haven't seen each other for a long time" he said, washing his hands next to me.

"Eh, yes Vincent, thank God I'm good. Who are you here with?" my many.

"I saw you earlier. I'm like someone, I'll play at your house sometime to explain it" Vincent said.

"Oo. okay," I answered briefly.

"I miss you Zanu. I went home yesterday, you are no more. I can't go around like I used to,"

"Here you go, come by my house sometime. You can tell anything. It's not good to see people talking here for a long time" I replied.

"Yes Zanu, I'll go there first. Thank you, yes" said Vincent.

"Snake..,"

I went back to my family and started eating. I saw Papa, Mama and Zuri looking happy, really enjoying dinner today.

After we finish eating, we go home. From a distance I silently waved to Vincent. And he returned it.

*******

A week later after the announcement. I came to college. To join ospek with new students, get to know my seniors and the atmosphere of the campus.

As usual, I used Angkot from the City Market to the boarding houses of students (the name of the area is Pasar Baru).

After from Pasar Baru, continue to take the bus to the campus. Buses there are 2 types, Buses have a free campus and Public buses pay. Free to ride any.

This time I took the campus bus. Inside the bus almost all wear white black pants that signify it's dresscode new students who will follow ospek.

Fortunately I got a seat. So no need to jostle with others.

Buses run to the campus gate. About seven minutes from the gate, there was a bus in front of the Rectorate building is very spacious.

I got off the bus. I saw a lot of students who attended ospek, all majors joined on the same day. And the seniors took part in black uniforms and alma mater suits.

Just stepping towards the entrance, all of a sudden all of the students were startled by one of the black-clothed seniors there.

"Squat down! Squat down! Everyone is squatting!!"

"Why are you quiet! I told you to squat, yeah squat! Nothing here is spoiled. You should be able to get to know more closely with the campus environment as well as your seniors!!" shouted back.

Ow hell! Ospeknya has started.

I'd like to advise you of his affairs rather than.

All were forced to squat to the Auditorium building, where the road uphill like an adventure to the hills, hadehhhh...!

Many are also grumbling and some are resigned while limping towards the top.

There is about one kilo meter to reach the Auditorium building. Once there, everyone is constantly regulating the breath.

"Come on!! Moving on! Your friends are waiting there!! So slow! Don't get you in the law!" shouted one of the senior girls, who was ferociously begging for mercy.

Aha!! I feel like I'm in the military. Next what else? No longer be diginiin.

"I'll give you 5 minutes to get into your line of friends neatly!!" shouted one more senior.

Without ba bi bu, all ran as fast as they could towards the line, including me.

"Bruck!!"

I tripped over something that made me fall down. It hurts my knee. I can only grimace in pain.

"Isda, pick him up! Take it to the recovery room!" shouted the senior who was near the line.

"good. Come on Deck here, you come with us," said a senior named Isda.

Senior Isda and his friend took me to a room not too far from the line.

There, I sat in the chair provided. I watched for a moment, my knee bleeding.

Besides me, in the room there are already several new students who experience different problems. Some even experience shortness of breath.

"Hei Zanu's! You're right here. Why knees?" said someone from behind.

It turns out that's Resa's sister. We once met at a stall near the Faculty of Economics campus. When I signed up for UMPTN.

"Eh yes, sister Resa. I fell down just now running towards the line," I replied as I grimaced with the pain.

"Yes, I treat his knees first," said Resa while taking the P3K box on the table.

"Oiya, congratulations.., you finally graduated and are now my junior" said Resa.

"Yes, please help later if there is a problem,"

"Key,"

Sister Resa took a cotton swab and smeared alcohol to clean my knee. After my knee was cleaned, Resa smeared the red medicine and plastered it directly.

The pain in my knee decreased and I began to feel comfortable.

"Theresa! You are needed outside to convey about health. While leaving your work here first," said someone behind Resa.

I'm just sick of it, just looking at my knees and not poking at the slightest bit of who's talking.

"Okay Chairman" replied Resa.

I'm shocked! Which leader does Resa mean?

I did not dare to raise my head up, my gaze was still focused on my knees.

"Zanu, brother come out first huh. If asked by the Chairman, you answer briefly. The person is fierce, be careful" said Resa, who whispered in my ear.

I nodded and kept quiet. I don't know why I feel so bad. I felt that shock again. The same taste when we met each brother!

Sis Resa passed from the room to get out to carry out her duties.

This must be the Chairman who meant pen guy! Ouchh... Why is he here too.

Suddenly the leader approached me. My feelings are getting scared and agitated.

"Hey! Whose name? What faculty?" ask her firmly with the tone of voice I've heard before.

"Za, Zanu Kak, Faculty of Law" I replied as I lowered my head.

"As long as the campus business goes on, you should call me Chairman" he replied.

"Yes, uh Chief,"

"From now on I see you keep your head down! When I speak, you are still like that. That's not polite! You can see me, right?!" he said with a loud tone.

Everyone in the room was shocked but remained silent. They are afraid of problems with the Chairman, especially the seniors who already know his character.

I looked up and looked into his eyes deeply. His eyes returned my eyes.

He was so surprised to see me! A moment of silence and then suddenly he was confused like misbehavior.

"Here you rest here. I have business outside" he said a little softly and quickly walked out to the door of the room.

Everyone in the room was shocked and must have wondered. Why did their Chairman suddenly melt when he saw me? Does their leader know me?

I don't know.. Somehow every time I meet a pen guy, uh the Chairman, the atmosphere gets weird and laughable, ha.ha.ha..

I bowed silently. Letting everyone in the room think anything about the Chairman.

On the first day of Osek, I was forced to not be able to follow. Three days ahead, I hope my knee doesn't hurt anymore.

For a moment, I rested in this room while waiting for ospek to finish.
