Love Ordinary Girl "Alya"

The End of School Examination

That afternoon, we were still chatting in the schoolyard, waiting for the extra-curricular to be held in an hour. We sit under a shady tree.

We talked about the future. Time after we graduated from High School.

"Al.., it doesn't feel right, we're gonna be facing our final school exam soon.." Vita said in a sad tone.

"Yes Vit.., it's sad to have to part with you..."

"Al.., after High School, where do you want to go to college?" Ask Aldi.

"Possibly, I didn't go to college.. I'm going to work, besides my two sisters are still in school, my mom's getting older. I don't have any tuition fees either.." I answered by staring into the clouds, imagining an impossible future as bright as my friends.

"Al.., why not try the student duty program?" Sahut Arif's.

"No Rif, I want to focus on the future for my two sisters.. Poor them, if I do not work soon, most likely they will drop out of school, especially Hana will enter Junior High School, Asti will also enter High School.. I can't be selfish..??"

"Al...., I helped fund your sister2 school huh..? So you can go to college.." Arif offered his kindness to me.

"No need Rif.., I don't want to owe you too much.. All this time, you've been very kind, bought me LKS, paid extra, bought me.. I don't think I'd be able to repay all your kindness, man..."

Arif just sighed hearing my words, as if he was disappointed with my pessimistic attitude.

"Oiya Di, where are you going to go to college?" I asked Aldi.

"In shaa Allah at UG* Al. medical school.."

"You're Rif..??" I asked Arif.

"In shaa Allah, after High School I want to follow in the footsteps of my brother Al, studying in Germany.."

"Well.., Vita, Ale, Ardhi, Rudi.., you want to go to college, too?"

"I'm planning to study at IS* Al, Film & Television faculty.." Answer Vita with passion.

"I'm going to do some sewing training for Al.." Answer Dara.

"In shaa Allah I want to study at UI*, Al.." sharia banking faculty.." Rudi answered firmly.

"I went to college in romance Al, preparing to be a good husband and father.., hhhhehehe.." Reply Ardhi broke the mood. We laughed off...

"I am also Al.., just like Ardhi, I want to go straight to work.. There's someone waiting for my proposal.., hhhhehe.." We laughed again at Ale's reply...

"Ardhis.... Ale..... When would you like to introduce your beloved girl..??" I asked them to mark them both.

"In shaa Allah.., when the invitation has been printed, then I know Al.."

"Tuch bull.., said Ale.." Ardhi replied with a chuckle, confirming Ale's words.

"Lhaa...., you're Al, when do you want to introduce your guy...., hhhhaha?" Reply Ale to me.

"I haven't thought of a guy, tauuu... I want to focus on the end-of-school exam..."

"Maca ciiiichhh...??" Vita said while playing my hair.

"What sichh you Di, not satisfied2nya always nosy to me..." I replied with a lash, I grabbed my best friend's hair because of his anxiety.

"Awwww..., sick Al, let go..!! Maaff.., sorry...."

"Eat it so people don't be nosy...!! Huftt..."

All my friends laughed..

"Betul Al.., you want to wait?" Asked Arif arrived2.., with still holding back a laugh.

"It's not the Rif.." I answered by showing a pouting face.

After they were satisfied laughing at me, the atmosphere turned silent..

"To face the final exam of school, let us increase learning..!! Bismillah may we get a satisfactory final score.." Arif's wise voice broke the silence.

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

The final school exam has arrived. We try to do everything as much as possible. We also forget to pray. Every midnight.., we wake up to perform Lail sunna prayers, request ease to do the exam question2, and ask to get a satisfactory score.

Alhamdulillah.., our prayer2 is affirmed. Our test results were very satisfactory.

Aldi managed to get the first rank, while I.., replace got the second rank.

Unstoppable blissful cry, all of my best friends got very satisfactory test scores.

My mother, who was with me at graduation, cried and hugged me because of haru.

"Congratulations Al.., I'm proud of you.." Said Mr. Umar with glass2 while patting my shoulder.

"Thank you, sir..." I answered with happy tears.

It was a day of happiness and sadness. Happy because I graduated with a satisfactory grade, sad because I had to part with all my friends.... Although we can still meet, but not as often as when we were here, in the High School.

Me and all my best friends gathered in the schoolyard, we took pictures together.

Me, Dara, and Vita hugged each other, as did Aldi, Arif, Ale, Ardhi and Rudi they hugged each other. It feels like our togetherness in High School is very short....

"Al. congratulations, yeah.." Said Angga who was already standing in front of me.

"Thanks.., Ngga.."

"I'm sorry for my mistakes so far, I hope we can meet again.." He said quietly without waiting for a reply from me, then he turned around, and walked away.

Apparently Arif was watching us, he was walking closer to his best friend....

"Al. I may ask you one last question about your relationship with him, because you have never been willing to answer.. What exactly is your relationship with Angga??" Arif asked with a deep look, as if he wanted me to be honest.

"I've said many times.., I'm just friends with Rif.. We don't have any relationship.." I answered with a smile, but it was as if Arif was not satisfied with the answer I gave...
