Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 24: Camping

Ospek is over.

But, tomorrow we have to follow other activities related to nature, namely camp. This activity is mandatory every year held by the student organization, BEM. All the faculty must participate in this activity.

So, there must be many parties who participate in management in these activities. Automatic BEM Chairman is more busy in organizing members, arranging schedules, arranging expenses and licensing. Both permission from the campus and the local community later.

Bram as Chairman of BEM, every day back and forth to the Rectorate building and to the Auditorium yard, starting from the beginning of the ongoing ospek. To take care of all that.

********

I, Rani, Mira and Prita are getting ready tonight to choose what to bring tomorrow.

We'll camp for three days. This is the largest campground because all Faculties are required to participate. So it takes a large place to carry out this activity.

"Prita, did you bring a blanket?" my many.

"Greese. But the thin one, so it fits in a backpack. Don't forget Zanu's flip-flops,"

"Yoyo,"

The four of us are very excited to participate in this activity. It was like a vacation together. Hope his activities run smoothly without the slightest obstacle.

The night began to dissolve and all the hostesses slept, dissolving in their own dreams.

********

Krieg.....!

The alarm in my room sounded really loud. I woke up and took a shower. After praying and teaching for a while, I immediately went downstairs to have breakfast with the others.

After breakfast, the four of us took each other's backpacks. This time we were given a ride by Sister Rosi. Because the car can fit for the four of us along with the items that will be brought.

"Where will you gather?" ask Rosi while driving.

"In the Auditorium Kak page," replied Rani.

"As long as you are camping, take care of yourself and check your luggage. Because the committee or event organizer can not pay attention to you one by one with a very large number. The four of you have to help each other, okay" advised Rosi.

"Okay, brother" we said in unison.

The car drove into the parking lot next to the Auditorium building. Seen from far away, there were already many students coming.

I also saw Bram's parked car not far from us stop.

"Sister, thank you, for bringing us-we got here" I told Kak Rosi.

"Either. Be careful of all of you" replied Sister Rosi.

We nodded together, then went down and took each other's backpacks. The four of us walked towards the Auditorium grounds.

Sis Rosi drove back to her college place which is to the Faculty of Agriculture building.

********

We join with other friends according to their respective Faculties. Prita and I are in line. Rani and Mira instantly join the ranks of the recording faculty. This time we are all allowed to sit down, waiting for the next announcement.

"Zanu, this is a day for you" said senior Kak Resa.

Sister Resa thrust a sizable bag at me.

I'm shocked! Who gave you this, huh?

"This is from the Chairman. Brother just found out Zanu was close to the Chairman," said Kak Resa in a whisper in my ear.

"Oh, yes, brother, thank you" I replied nervously and embarrassedly.

"Either. I was there first, yeah..,"

"Good Brother,"

I'm silent for a moment. About what's in this bag. Instead of me being curious, I opened it and looked at the contents.

It turns out there's bread, snacks and oranges. I accidentally found a piece of paper on the side of a snack.

"Make you Zanu. Don't eat late. If you have less food, just meet me" - RAM-BRAM

The contents of the paper I read.

"Zanu, what is it? Where did you get it from? That feeling ain't no bag?" ask Prita curiously.

"This is from the Chairman. Later in the camp we will eat together, yes" I replied.

"Ciiee.., very good Chairman. I started going public. Later I will also come ah, let someone do me food, ha.ha.ha..,"

Prita started teasing me. I also laughed.

Suddenly senior made a voice telling us all to stand up and line up in an orderly fashion. In front of the ranks of the seniors there was already a Chairman.

This time his appearance was slightly different, not wearing an alma mater suit. A blue jeans suit and a black t-shirt, with the inscription on his chest "BEM". As a complement, he wears a black hat.

"okay! For the brothers present here, I and the members of BEM and the seniors who were selected as campus camp organizers welcome all the sisters. For this activity we will take the location in area S," said the Chairman.

"The camp starts today and we come back here two days later. Please check back the equipment brought. For other questions, you can go directly to the senior of each major. It is expected that all of them take care of each other, are introspective and do no troublemaking or negative things at the campsite later,"

"Well, before we leave, we pray first according to each other's religion and beliefs. Berdo'a begins..,"

The atmosphere instantly became silent for a few minutes. After he finished his prayer, the Chairman closed his speech. And again he moved from there, walking towards the Rectorate building.

"Zanu! Cool is your Chairman. If you see the Chief talking like that, I feel like I'm on the battlefield. His speech was firm, authoritative and flat. Plus the chairman of the handsome, duh.duh..," said Prita's anxiety.

"Ah you, that's just the feeling discussed. That's his job as Chairman, you have to keep the image. Let there be a bond and be disinclined. If the man is a bucket, he will not be elected as Chairman" I replied.

"Indeed so Zanu is the Chairman. It's not that he was elected Chairman that he kept changing. Yeah no.. The chairman is also smart and clever so he can be elected,"

"Already ah, we must be ready first. I'm thinking about how to bring this bag. My backpack is full, help dong Prita," I said.

"We divide the two contents, there will be a spare bag. Here I help you,"

Food from Bram, we divide it into two bags. Our bags are about, let it be light when brought.

********

The campus buses are neatly lined up on the street. Prita and I got into the bus that was appointed by the senior. Just as I was about to sit down, Sister Resa suddenly approached me.

"Zanu, empty a bench beside you. No one's sitting there, okay!" said Kak Resa.

"Eh, yes Brother. Who's the trunk for, brother?" many wonder.

"Later Zanu will also know who the person is. Just hang. Brother get off first huh, Brother get on the bus behind,"

Resa went straight down without giving me a pause to talk.

"Prita, how about.. We can't have one bench,"

"It's okay, Zanu. We are one bus. Most also sitting near you is the Chairman," said Prita with a smile teasing me.

"Kok you know?" my many.

"Yes that.. Try to think, why did the senior have to ask you to empty the bench? If not the Chairman who asked, who else?"

"Yes, yes, too,"

I sat by the window and put the backpack on the bus floor near my feet. Prita sat one row beside my stool. Let us easily pass the food or need something later during the trip.

********

Bus passengers have already started filling the available benches. The person I was waiting for had not come yet either. Between curious and deg-degan into one.

There were some friends asking me about my empty bench and I always said there was someone.

Is it true that the one sitting here is the Chairman? How could he possibly have joined the other BEM members? Trus if he sits here, will not be the gossip material in the future?

I don't know... So many questions in my head.

I peeked out the window, starting Buses one by one already departed. There are only a few that do not include this bus.

I'm getting restless.

Why haven't you left yet? The bus passengers are full. Why hasn't he appeared yet?

Or maybe he's not what Prita meant? It could be Lecturers or other BEM administrators.
