LOVE STRATA 1

CS1 Know More

A bright Sunday morning. It is a good day to do various activities. The campus is usually dominated by post-graduate students, this week is so crowded by students from various majors. In the campus field has been installed a large stage complete with tents, several chairs for invitations and spectators, as well as a sound system. Attractive banners attached to the background of the stage become the explanation of the activity. The 'Campus-Level Achievement Student Selection' event, ready to start.

Anjani and his fellow freshmen from the economics department are not in the student achievement arena. They are completing the final activity of a series of OSEK economic events, which carries the theme of 'familiarizing themselves through economic activities'. New students are invited to be more familiar with fellow new students, their seniors, and the campus environment through entrepreneurial activities that have been agreed with their respective groups. The campus-level student selection event will invite a crowd of spectators and supporters, as well as a great opportunity to offer sales to each group.

That morning Anjani and his group got sales booth number eleven of the twenty booths provided by the committee. Anjani is in charge of arranging a mini bouquet on the table. The mini bouquet that Anjani and her group sold contained a combination of carnation flowers and baby's breath. There are also red roses and fresh white roses for sale, with small heart-shaped paper tied with silver ribbons. Whoever buys, is free to write his own message. Mini bouquet sold for ten thousand rupiahs. While a single rose complete with the message sold for five thousand rupiah.

"Anjani, do you need to add an imitation rose?" ask Meli who since a few minutes ago talked to flower agent Kak Lisa. Looks like the agent offered something to Meli.

"This alone seems to be enough, Mel."

"okay."

Dika just returned from taking a seat. As soon as he finished, he rushed to help Juno promote to anyone who passed their booth. Meanwhile, the second-year senior who served as the organizer of the OSPEK majors event was busy helping some groups who had difficulty carrying their merchandise. There are also seniors who are in charge of documenting the activities of new students at that time. No less important, the core committee and some senior students will travel around later in the day to visit and ask each booth.

"Anjani, mini 1 bouquet for our first customer. Yeah!" dika said while escorting the intended customers to their booth.

"Thank you, Brother. I hope you like." Anjani friendly serve customers.

A few minutes later, Juno came while running around a little. He had just returned from the front of the stage, where an election of outstanding students was held. More surprisingly, Juno did not come alone. He came with seven senior students from other faculties. Of course, they were all about to buy flowers at Anjani's booth and his group. Waw, Anjani so wondering how Juno got promoted.

"Seven fresh red roses are ready to be betrothed." Meli screams happily.

"Please write the message, yes. Equated all. It says 'Excite, Brother'!" pinta was one of the students who bought it.

"Well, wait a minute, brother. Please take a look at the other flowers." Invited.

"Yuno!" call Anjani while gesturing to invite buyers to chat, while waiting for the writing to finish.

Juno understood Anjani's cue and rushed to pluck just any topic. It was from the chat that Anjani knew that the flowers would be given to one of the seniors who became an outstanding student representative of the engineering faculty.

"Done, Brother. Thank you for stopping by our booth. May the big brother be the champion." Anjani gives support shortly after all the female students receive their order flowers.

"Sst, Anjani. Why support them. Representatives of our faculty also exist, you know. Ah, you are!" said Meli while half whispering, afraid that the students had heard it.

"Oh, huh? Who?" ask Anjani.

"A, Anjani. Time doesn't know, anyway. It went viral." This time Meli slightly raised her voice.

"Not really know, Mel."

"Udah, ah! Look at yourself." Meli declined to mention and went back to clamoring for promotion.

Lothawat! Meli's shout was met with a less pleasant reaction from the booth that was right next to Anjani's group. Stan number ten, Diamond booth and eight members of his group. Diamond and her group sell accessories and cute items that women love. Since this morning the Diamond group booth was no less crowded than the Anjani group booth. Although the goods sold were much different, it seemed like the atmosphere of competition was so thick felt.

"Whispering really, really!" diamond Protest while looking towards the booth of Anjani group.

Anjani, Meli, and Dika were shocked to hear it. They feel they are not making mistakes, instead they are carrying out a strategy to market their products. According to Anjani, the problem does not lie in the way of promotion of each group. The only problem is Diamond and his attitude.

"Hey, Diamond. Angry can make old chips. Wrinkles. Not gonna make C-A-N-T-I-K." Juno who advanced faced the Diamond. In fact, she emphasized the word 'beautiful' as if to insinuate.

"Shut up, yeah! You little guy, not fashionable!" teasing Diamond, start with his rant.

"Hey, forgot to pack glasses, yeah! Everyone also knows that I am COOL plus HANDSOME plus A LOT OF FANS. Point!" Juno won't budge.

Anjani, Meli, and Dika attempt to break up a fight between Juno and Berlian, but their efforts are in vain. The scene was captured and reported. As a result, several seniors attended including Mario and Ken.

The arrival of several seniors made Juno and Diamond instantly speechless. After getting advice from the chief executive, Juno and Diamond's emotions subsided. With no words of apology, Juno and Diamond returned to his group booth.

"Give me a drink!" juno said to his groupmate. Turns out he's still pissed at Diamonds.

"Juno, hold your emotions. Slow down!" Ken came to Juno, shortly after the chief executive and several seniors left.

"Mas Ken, Mas Mario, I think the kids from yesterday are looking for something." Juno confirmed in an already calmer tone.

Mario calms Juno down. He patted Juno on the shoulder then said, "Make the current activity to get to know more, not fight. Already, let go of your negative prejudices."

Mario's words resemble a mantra, which successfully hypnotizes anyone who hears it. Juno, Ken, Meli, Dika, the four of them smiled hearing that. And so did Anjani. A smile and a feeling of calm instantly overwhelmed him. He even underlined the word 'know more'. Yes, he realized that the activities at that time were not just buying and selling activities, but indeed to get to know more. Get to know new friends, new characters, new environments, to new knowledge and experiences.

May I know you better? inner Anjani.

The deg! Anjani felt strange with the wishful thinking that suddenly attacked.

Nah! Can't! Focus Anjani! Focus up! anjani again.

"Sst, that's our faculty representative. Brother Mario!" Meli slightly whispered towards Anjani. His expression looks cheerful.

Anjani is not too surprised to hear it, although she is late to learn the news. The fact that Mario got the most votes because of his speech has made Anjani convinced that Mario deserves a chance to be a representative.

"Sir Mario, the spirit!" said Anjani suddenly while giving a sprig of white roses to Mario. Anjani is not playing about feelings. This time he really wanted to give support.

Ken and Juno did not believe what he saw. The scene was really inviting to ask for them. However, when Anjani confirms his intention to support him once again, Ken and Juno set aside unnecessary questions.

"Thank you, Anjani. Your good intentions are very much appreciated." Mario said in his special tone. And .... Mario was smiling. The same smile as when Anjani first met Mario at the flower shop.

"Me too! This is for Mario. The spirit!" Meli gives red roses and encourages Mario.

"ah! I am too then. This is for Mario. Don't disappoint your juniors, Mas. The spirit!" Juno followed suit with a sprig of red roses.

"This is what, anyway! It's for sale. Restore-return!" Dika did not accept and took one by one the flowers that were still in the hands of Anjani, Meli, and Juno.

"Haha .... You deserve to be named the funniest group!" Ken laughed at the scene.

Anjani, Meli, and Juno compactly glanced towards Dika. Which glimpsed completely insensitive, it still continues the action.

"I bought one. This one .. white rose. And ... two more. This one and this .. red rose."

Mario buys three stalks at once. The color chosen is also the color of the flower that was to be given by Anjani, Meli, and Juno. Mario is teaching something to his juniors. Appreciate, that's the message Mario wants to convey.

"Yeah .... Our sales are over. Good luck, here!" Meli was back screaming.

"Sst, Meli. Slowly bit. There could be another fight, ntar!" Anjani reminded Meli.

"Ups, sorry!"

That afternoon the show ended. New students look satisfied with the activities in their respective booths. Not to miss the seniors of the second year, they are also satisfied and relieved to have completed all series of activities of OSEK.

"Great work! Thank you very much for the spirit of new students in participating in the series of OSEK activities. Next, we wish you a happy journey through college. Come on, we're successful with a college degree!" said the chief executive in the speech as well as closing activities.

After the closing of the show, Anjani hears news of Mario's defeat. Honestly, he wanted to encourage. However, seeing Mario's usual expression made Anjani undo his intentions. Anjani only sees Mario from afar. From where he stood, he watched a lot of his classmates who gave Mario flowers even though they knew Mario lost. Also witnessed by Anjani, Mario did not receive any of the flowers. It was Ken who represented Mario taking the flowers from his fans. As usual, Mario is back in his cold attitude.

Seeing that made Anjani's mind a little disturbed. "Suddenly sweet, suddenly cold. Suddenly caring, suddenly not wanting to know. Weird." Anjani said slowly.

"really. Weird, yes!" said Meli.

Anjani. He had completely forgotten that Meli was right next to him. He also observed Mario's attitude to his fans.

"By the way, Mario's brother was never really in love, huh? Uh! So curious, huh!" Meli is anxious because of her curiosity.

Really so?

At night at 21:30 WIB

Anjani has not been able to fall asleep, even though she yawned. He decided to check the message in the 'Full Gang' chat group'. The chat group only consists of four people, namely Juno, Dika, Meli, and Anjani. Among the messages sent, there was one message from Juno that made Anjani's drowsiness evaporate.

For those who love the life of Mas Ken and Mas Mario, raise your hand. We're docked! Next Saturday at 9am we meet at the Bro-Sis cafe.

The message attracted Anjani. Meli who first sent emoticons agreed, then followed by Dika a minute later. That means Dika and Meli are also interested. Finally .... Anjani also sent an emoticon agreed.

What new facts will Anjani know?
