Love of Village Girl
Finally Graduation
At 4 pm the family of Mr. Sumitro arrived at the terminal Landung Sari Malang, they planned to take an angkot to reach the boarding place owned by Tari in the back area of the campus, but Tari just told me that there will be friends who pick her up on the motorbike.
For I'im maybe this is not the first he came to the city of Malang but for his family this is something that may never be imagined, he said, during Tari's college there his parents were not once alone or came to just get to know the city where his son studied, many factors why they never came.
The arrival this time alone was an extraordinary thing for the I'im extended family, especially Mr. Sumitro. He felt this was an invaluable pride, although he knew the success of his first daughter was not an end but a beginning to open the gate of success - another success.
Arriving at the place of the boarding house of Tari, Mr. Sumitro and his wife, also I'im and Jannah rested, soon entered Ashar time.
" Rest first ae all, exhausted ashar later I'im let me find food for the mallm" Tari said while asking her parents to rest.
" yes really, mamak same father rest first ae here, like kok in front also the atmosphere is very rame" I'im who had been there felt the atmosphere was not the same when he came first.
" the name is also tomorrow there is a graduation event at the im campus, yes certainly many families of students who also come today like us, eating the road ahead so more rame" Tari explained, everyone who was there nodded confirming Dance's words.
Evening arrived, after eating together what had been Tari and I'im bought they now sit in front of the TV while watching.
" how is it not hot here like in jombang, Ri?" suddenly Miss Lasmi asked while snacking snacks she brought from Nganjuk as by - by from Bude.
" yes mak, this even wes including anget, if entering the 7th month or the beginning of the entry of new students more severe mak cold, almost the same as our home in the mountain" replied Tari explained.
" iyo, here the weather is similar in the place of Mbah Kulon progo there you know, not hot yo not cold" Mr. Sumitro chimed in.
" yes sir, but said the original people here yes he said now Malang is hot, maybe because there have been many pambangunan also wes be a developed city" said Tari.
" But if the road that was passed by the bus even the cliff is similar to the kebon road in our village, winding - winding making the stomach nauseous" said Jannah
The night chat was a nostalgia for a family from the village until it led them to a night break to welcome the tomorrow they were looking forward to.
It was still dark, but the two-story boarding house behind the campus was crowded by students who prepared themselves. No exception Dance, yes in one boarding house there are 4 people who will graduate today, they agreed to hire makeup services to help them prepare for this historic day.
" Everything is beautiful if it's done and gini" Ms. Lasmi commented on Dance and her friends.
" yes mak, maybe because we are 4 do not like and so yes look beautiful fitting in make over" reply Dance.
" if not graduation we may never use make up bu, if not wait later if it becomes a manten" said another Dance friend.
If the above is busy with the girls who are preparing, under Mr. Sumitro meet and chat with family of friends - friends Dance that day also at graduation
At 08.00 UIN Malang campus is packed with vehicles and also full of people - people who pass by, with high confidence Tari takes her family's walk from the boarding house to the graduation building. They were a spectacle of people passing by, families in the same uniform and one wearing a toga, they can certainly conclude that what they see is a family that celebrates the success of one of its members, no different from them.
In the heart of Lasmi's mother there are various feelings, seeing people coming to bring a vehicle to take her sons and daughters graduation, while they walk, on foot, The graduation dance was on foot, but he remembered the words - said his eldest daughter who else if not the cute Dance.
" On the way mak, do not be ashamed, we do not turn out to be wrong with the rules, also do not harm others, who bring the car does not necessarily have its own, can be a rental" that's what Tari said before they left.
The graduation hall has been seen, Mr. Sumitro and Ms. Lasmi headed for the entrance for the graduation family while giving the invitation they brought, while I'im and Jannah for not having an invitation they instead chose to go around the campus streets while snacking.
For Dance now has been lined up to enter the building according to the faculty and their respective majors.
The solemn atmosphere takes place throughout the series of graduation events today, the smile is always engraved on the face of Tari during the graduation procession, soon his name will be called to come forward, when the name Lestari, the, S.Pd.I was called not Tari who felt haru but two people who had felt grateful to be able to meet could be one of the hundreds or even thousands of people who attended the building with the same event, namely attending the graduation of their children, their, yes they are Sumitro sir and Lasmi ma'am who unknowingly shed tears on his daughter's success in studying at a campus far from their lives in the village, in tears of her harbour, he said, mr. Sumitro prayed, may this Graduation is the beginning of the door of success for his daughter and also his family, May the blessing always accompany his daughters in studying.
