LOVE STRATA 1
CS1 New College Time Started
Lisa just arrived from out of town. The fruit of the hand brought certainly makes Anjani and Meli happy. Two paper bags have been transferred into the hands of Anjani and Meli. Intrigued by the contents, Meli preceded opening her parcel. At first Anjani laughed at the behavior of his impatient best friend. However, Anjani decides to follow in Meli's footsteps and open her parcel.
It turns out that the contents of the parcel in the paper bag are not only one, but three kinds. First, Anjani took out the female accessory. There is a bracelet engraved Anjani's name there. Second, Anjani issued a maroon color bag sling, and again there is the name Anjani engraved on one of the ornaments associated with the zipper bag. Third, the object that made Anjani smile and hurried to say a word of thanks to Lisa. Anjani checked the navy long-sleeved shirt with casual design. Fitting size.
"Those things you can use for college. The spirit of college, yes. Never give up before you get a college degree." Lisa gives motivation to Anjani as well as Meli who has been considered like her sisters.
"Sister Lisa is the best. Thank you so much for that. Also, the motivation, brother." Now it's Meli's turn to thank you. He also received the same items as Anjani, only the color was different.
"Sister, make us permission to go to campus tomorrow, yes. There is an event for new students" Anjani said asking for permission.
"That's fine. Tomorrow you can go to college. Oh yeah, even though you guys don't work here anymore, if you need anything immediately contact your sister on this one, yes. If you occasionally want to freelance, you can also. What matters is your college needs." Lisa is smiling. His words this time were truly similar to that of a brother who was advising his younger siblings.

Same time, in a different place
Mario, Ken, and Juno sit on the front porch of Ken's house. Despite gathering, the three are busy with their respective activities. Mario is busy observing the development of marketing shoe products through his smartphone. Ken was busy stuffing Teka Teki Silang in one of the sports magazines he had just bought. Meanwhile, Juno is seen receiving a call from her father. The new bike is ready this afternoon. The motorbike was a gift from his father because Juno was willing to go to college.
"Style of swimming style, eight letters. Juno help me!" said Ken while tugging at Juno's sleeves.
"Stone style," Juno replied with origin.
"Butterfly, Juno!" Ken answered it himself.
"ah! If you know why ask, Ken." Juno's upset.
"Juno, have you prepared a white shirt and black pants for tomorrow's event? Remember, don't get the wrong costume!" mario reminded me.
Mario's words make Ken and Juno stop from his activities. Juno glanced sharply at Ken. Got a sharp glare from Juno, making Ken grin until he showed a row of white and neat teeth. Juno was judging Ken for his mistake the other day. Juno's clothes to be worn for tomorrow, by Ken made one with a pile of clothes donated to charity events. Ken promised to replace, but until now has not been fulfilled.
"Mas Ken, let's take responsibility!" Juno insist.
"Ahaha, yes yes. Just for the night, yeah." Ken answered all that.
"Okay, trim your things. We're off to get Juno's costume. I-ka-rang!" mario stressed.
"Ready, Mas. Yeh! I am ready to reach the future. The lectures. Scholars!" juno said while making dance moves.
"Well, that's just Juno. Focus on college first, and put your feelings aside." Ken patted Juno's shoulder.
"Good," praised Mario. This time Mario volunteered to praise Juno's spirit.
"You too, Mario. Put your feelings aside, too. Well, go first. Hey, wait for me!" yelled Ken, but Mario did not respond at all and continued to step towards his bike.

Next day
Campus, Faculty of Economics
New students majoring in Economics are ready to start the world of lectures. Today, hundreds of freshmen gathered in one building. They looked neat with white top dress code and black subordinates. No one wears flashy or out-of-the-box clothing, as during the event new students are prohibited from using excessive accessories.
Before the event began, it was seen that some new students were acquainted with other new students sitting nearby. Questions about the name, origin, to the place of boarding are often found. Similarly, Anjani and Meli, they also took the opportunity to get acquainted with some new students who will later become friends when the lecture began.
In the right corner of the back row of seats, Juno seemed to be the center of attention. A lot of people glanced, looked, and even met him. Juno's face was indeed quite handsome, and many suddenly raised it into a topic of conversation. However, behind the fanfare that was talking about him, Juno's attitude seemed ordinary. It seems like he has really decided to focus on college.
"Consider to all new students, the event will begin soon." MC is signaling.
The screams instantly subsided. All the new students improved their sitting positions and listened carefully. The event began as a formal one, singing the national anthem and university march. After that there was a speech from the dean, the chairman of BEM, and the coordinator of the field of student activities. All of that was enthusiastically noticed by most of the freshmen, including Anjani. Not so with Meli.
At first Meli followed enthusiastically, but only a few minutes at the beginning. Meli complained more often. Anjani who was next to him was also the target of an outpouring of boredom. Actually not only Meli, there are several other students who are like that. Probably almost the same as Meli, less so accustomed to formal events.
"Next will be delivered a speech from the new student representative. Welcome to!" said MC, then put down the microphone he held.
New students wonder about who gets a chance to be a representative. A few moments later, a student stepped out from behind. Slowly, the building was filled with proud cheers. Applause followed later. Some students even look hysterical when they know who is the representative. Juno, is that lucky student.
Anjani does not believe what he sees. The figure that was now standing in front of there was someone who was from the same village as him. Someone who gave him a special name, Flowers. That's Juno. Juno who was about to be betrothed to him.
"Anjanin .... It's your Juno!" said Meli looks happy.
"Aw! Ouch, Meli. It hurts!" Anjani protested because her cheek was pinched by Meli.
"No! Not dreams. That's really the Juno you know, Anjani. Whoa!" firmly Meli.
True, Anjani is not dreaming. Juno had gone one step further, and success made Anjani acknowledge that.
"All my friends. Together, let's spark the spirit to achieve our dreams. I'm Juno, greetings of solidarity." Such are the closing words of Juno and successfully invited a boisterous applause all in the building.
As he stepped towards his seat, Juno looked towards Anjani. Juno seemed to be smiling at him. Seeing that, Anjani was confused as to what kind of response. Finally, Anjani raised his right hand and clenched his hand, a sign that encouraged each other. While still walking, Juno did the same.

Night at Mario's house
"My prediction, you will become a famous student because of your speech earlier. Cool!" praise Ken while giving two thumbs up to Juno.
Juno did not immediately respond. He was still chewing on the chocolate sandwich he got from the event on campus.
"But the text of the speech made by Mas Mario is too long, Mas. I had to memorize it all night. After all, why suddenly have to change the arrangement of the show? It was supposed to be Mario who gave me a welcome." Juno finally asked.
"It doesn't matter to me who gave the speech. What is clear, today you successfully animate the content of the text of his speech. Congratulations, Juno. I admit, you'll be more successful after this. That's cool!" said Mario appreciate.
"Ah, this must be her father's descendant. Your father was the village chief, Jun. You must have seen him often in speeches. Aye, right?" ask Ken. He was really proud of Juno this time.
"Thank you Ken, Mario. You two have been inspiring seniors. But, beyond that, today I'm glad I proved my passion for someone." Juno looks proud of her.
Seeing Juno who was starting to smile herself, Ken immediately knew what he meant. Immediately he took out a glass filled with water, poured it slightly in hand, and splashed it towards Juno.
"Conscious, conscious, conscious!" kenny said half-jokingly.
Seeing that Mario did not give any response. He chose to turn his back, turning his back on Ken and Juno. Now he stared far up there, silent, and drifting in his mind.

Night in a different place
Anjani and Meli have just come out of her subscription meatball stall. They both look like they are joking. Unintentionally, Anjani nudges the shoulder of a girl. Anjani tries to apologize and realizes that it was her fault. However, the reaction the girl showed was precisely different.
"You're a freshman majoring in economics, too, right?" asked the girl in an unsightly tone.
"Yes, right." Anjani tries to respond.
"Basically, not fashionable!" teasing the girl as she passed left Anjani.
Not accepting, Meli was about to make a calculation with the girl who had just insulted her best friend. However, Anjani's hand first prevented Meli from doing her intention. Who exactly is that girl?
