Lecture is not only about lecturers, students, and their duties. Throughout the journey through education at the level of lecture is certainly accompanied by a variety of stories with different flavors. Sweet taste is the most desirable. However, salty and spicy sometimes need to be felt so that the sensation forms a taste that will make life more meaningful.

Four months Anjani has been living overseas. During that time, Anjani felt many changes in her life. The change is not just about increasing independence, the strength of determination in education, or the fading of spoiled attitudes. This time, Anjani was more sensitive to the feelings that sometimes haunt him.

From 7 am to 3 pm Anjani faithfully located on campus. The course is only one, but there are tasks that must be completed at that time. Paper assignments from Mr. Koko must be collected tomorrow morning. Actually, the task was given a week ago. However, sometimes the temptation of other activities is so strong that it is able to override the main task.

"Pusyang nih long-time head. Uh!" Meli broke her chocolate bar, then bit her in small pieces.

"It's us too, Mel. I know you can't do spit, but we've relaxed for a few days."

Anjani looks focused with the laptop in front of her. For two days he and Meli borrowed two laptops from a student rental. The fact that they were both less adept at typing, had given it a bit of a constraint. Although occasionally complaining, but apparently their sense of responsibility is much greater for completing the task on time.

"Ah, Anjani .. I want to spend a holiday to your village," said Meli a little whining.

"Save that for later, Mel. Now we finish the job first."

"Just try someone to help you, it must be fun. Especially those who help Brother Ken or Brother Mario. Uhui ...!" Meli started fantasizing.

Anjani did not respond to Meli's delusion. He stared at his best friend in surprise for a few seconds. After that, Anjani took her chocolate cut and stuffed it into Meli's mouth. Meli is not angry, instead she laughs because she understands that Anjani does not want her to continue her delusion.

"But if you look at it again, we have not squirmed for almost three weeks. The other friends also talked about it. I tried to ask Juno but the answer was ngeselin. Where are you going?" ask Meli to Anjani.

To the many times Anjani's gaze shifted from the laptop screen. He did not immediately answer Meli's question. His last piece of chocolate was finally chewed. Now Anjani seems to think, and if he remembers again the words of Meli are true.

"There may be research assignments off campus. Maybe in the last few weeks there are only online tasks. Could be, right. Our class lecture schedule is indeed different from senior." Anjani explained his conjecture.

"Well, well, well. Today you responded well to my question about both of them. Do you miss their cool looks?" asked Meli while playing both eyebrows.

"I'm just thinking logically, Meli. You also do their mbahas. Let's do it again."

"Ahaha, someone's lashing out, here. Okay continue!

At exactly half 5 pm, the paper assignments for the courses that Pak Koko opened were completed. Anjani and Meli did not forget to save the task file on the flash. After packing, they went home.

Almost at the main gate of the campus, Anjani saw Diamond. Diamond was arguing with a man. For the sake of seeing that, Anjani pulled Meli's hand to hide behind a large pot containing a fairly lush plant. Suitable as a place to hide.

When he was noticed from his hiding place, Anjani was convinced that the man who was arguing with Diamond was the man whose photo was used as wallpaper on the Diamond smartphone. Yes, Anjani is very sure of that.

Bruaks!

The man shut the door of his car tightly just after Diamond called the word break. The diamond was still standing there even though the man's car had already passed.

"Anjani, we just saw the scene of breaking the bonds of love. Diamond broke up with her boyfriend. Should we go over there and cheer him up?" meli asked while whispering.

"Sst, lower your voice again, Mel. We can be found out!" Anjani reminded Meli. But the warning seems too late because unnoticed by Anjani and Meli, Diamonds are already standing near where they are hiding.

"Exit you. You're the nipping man!" rough Diamonds word.

Anjani and Meli came out with sinless faces. The two of them chuckled and slightly drew closer to where Diamond was standing.

"Hm, that was .... I'm sorry, we both accidentally squirmed. Sorry!" anjani said later.

Diamond did not respond to Anjani's apology. From the usual stand, now the diamond began to fold both hands. His face was still showing the same emotion. There seems to be no sign of easing.

"Diamond, patient yes. You must be sad to just break up with your guy." Meli ventured to comfort Diamond.

"Hahaha, who is sad. Beautiful looks like this is very easy to find a new scene. My brain is also diluted. Complete package for a princess. Not like you guys, it's not fashionable anyway." Diamond boasted and again said rudely.

Hearing that made Meli emotional. Quickly Anjani restrains Meli's arm before anything else unexpected happens. In contrast to Diamond, he increasingly showed his arrogant attitude.

"Gue challenge the two of you, who among us can be the fastest. Time until the end of the semester. Dare not?" Diamonds challenge Anjani and Meli.

"Okay, who's afraid." Meli assented without thinking long.

Anjani was shocked to hear Meli's words. He looked at his best friend as if he could not believe what he had just heard. In that situation Anjani could not argue with Meli, especially in front of Diamond. In the end, Anjani posed a challenge.

"Good-bagusan value. End of the semester. How's it? Dare to?" Anjani carried away the atmosphere of the competition.

"okay, deal. Good grades this semester. I hope you two won't give up in the middle of the competition. Hye!" After saying so, Diamond turned around and headed for her car.

Anjani did not respond to Meli's whining. To be honest he also did not expect to be able to give a challenge to Diamond.

"Udah, Mel. Do not take gebetan too seriously. The important value we should not lose the same Diamond. Okay?" Anjani tries to calm his best friend, even though he himself is also thinking.

Will Anjani and Meli succeed in excelling in the given challenge? And ... how does Anjani outsmart the challenge of getting a girlfriend?

The night has come. The clear weather makes the stars up there sparkle beautifully. The figure of the moon also deserves attention, perfectly round radiating light. What a stunning painting of the night sky, and the right time to mingle with each other.

That night Juno and Ken stayed at Mario's house. There is no special event about it. It had become a habit of their own for the three of them to stay at each other's house.

"Mas Ken, look for my class mates, huh." Juno opened the topic.

"Seriously, am I the one being asked? Wow, that's progress!" Ken was proud to feel that only he was asked.

"Yes, Mas. It's definitely Mas Mario's name called first."

"Ah, again lost to Mario. Steady, bro. You're a college idol."

"Hm."

Mario remains wordless. He preferred to listen to the chatter between Ken and Juno. Every now and then Mario will open the sound of being a mediator when the existing chat begins to heat up and does not meet the end. Mario does play a wise role in their friendship.

Juno once asked Ken if Mario could joke around like he often does. Ken instead advises Juno to prove it herself. Until now Juno still remains in his curiosity.

"Mas Mario, can I ask you something?" ask Juno.

"Say," said Mario.

"Mas Mario never kidding? Or is this Mas Mario including people who like seriousness?" ask Juno again.

Ken gave his two thumbs up when he heard Juno ask a question. Honestly Ken is also waiting for what kind of reaction will be shown by Mario.

Still in his sitting position, Mario showed a little smile. More like a sneaky smile. "Juno, do you intend to know the other side of me? Or do you want to be one of my fans?" ask Mario then.

"Ahaha. Answer it, Juno!" Ken said with a laugh. Ken really did not expect that such a reaction would be what Mario would show for Juno's question.

"Ah, not curious, huh. At the end of it, I'm being bullied again. Oh yeah, Mas. This semester break's with my gang, yuk! We have plans for the village. I also pointed to Anjani's house. How's it?" Juno enthusiastically invited his senior.

Ken was the first to respond to Juno's invitation. He was excited to hear the word holiday. "agree. Come along, bro! After all, the project from the lecturer has been completed this week, right." Ken persuades Mario to take a vacation to the village.

"Ken, do you have any other intentions?" ask Mario.

"Yes especially if it's not a vacation, Mario." Ken insists.

Mario did not answer. He saw one by one the faces of his two best friends. Juno showed a hopeful face. Both of his hands were even involuntarily clenching. While Ken was unceasingly blurting out the word 'ayo come along'.

"You want to know my answer?" ask Mario.

Hearing Mario's question made Ken and Juno even more anxious. Of course, since then they both waited for Mario's answer.

"No!" said Mario later.

"Will not refuse?" Ken's making sure.

"Not interested in coming." Mario confirmed the answer.

"ah! Too bad, Mario. Juno, there is still time to persuade him. Just relax, we'll come with you." Ken is talking.

Will Ken and Juno manage to persuade Mario to take a vacation to the village where Juno and Anjani came from?
