LURED MY LECTURER
CHOSEN
At 5pm a message was sent by the campus administration staff to the campus social media group, the message read:
To Name – Next Name Tomorrow Please Meet Vice Dean II:
Salsas
Glens
Lisa
Please Come At 08.00 S.d to Floor III Building
For His Attention Thank you.
.....
And everyone in the group had read the message. Lisa, whose name was listed in the message, wondered what the summoning meant.
“What am I wrong? How I'm called”, Lisa thought.
“hopefully it is nothing”, added Lisa talking to herself.
The next day at 07:50 the three of them had fully gathered waiting in the waiting room of the campus floor III building.
Shortly thereafter came the deputy dean II with a gray suit stellan combined with gray basic pants look harmonious with his authoritative stature.
“Good Morning, have you guys been waiting for a long time?”, greet Rio calmly.
“no sir, we also just came”, reply Glen with a smile.
“Thanks to all of you being willing to attend, just the three of you were appointed by our campus to represent the campus in the national student debate held in Jakarta”, Indonesia, Rio was clear to those who were chosen.
Just now they want to talk, Rio again spoke, “Bapak does not want to accept rejection from you”
“well pak”, answer them simultaneously.
“You please deepen your insight into the relationship of education in the era of four point zero.”
...
“oke I think enough, prepare yourself. At the end of this month we leave for Jakarta”, concluded Rio.
“Siap Pak!!!”, answer them simultaneously.
........
In the afternoon regardless of all his work, Rio went straight to the nursing home that Rio regularly visited at least once a month.
His arrival there is a form of attention to the elderly parents.
Rio's date to the nursing home is none other than, because, Rio misses the figure of his father and mother because Rio since childhood never saw both parents because of a single accident that befell both parents, at that time Rio was 1 year old so he never remembered the faces of his father and mother, no wonder he was very attentive with every parent, even routinely became a donor at the nursing home.
"Dad... mother.", shouted Rio from a distance to all the residents of the nursing home while carrying a lot of bags containing food and clothing.
"This is Rio bring souvenirs, sorry I just had time to visit you", Rio continued to greet the elders with a happy smile.
"thank you son, you've been visiting for a long time, we don't need you to bring anything, we just want our son to come here often" one of the old ladies replied to Rio.
"hehe, sorry rio bu, rio again a lot of work, next time Rio will come again here not bring food/clothes but bring mother's daughter-in-law, hahaha.", Reply Rio jokingly.
"wah mom is very happy, I can't wait to see my daughter-in-law" while her eyes glazed over.
Suddenly the usually silent Panti became boisterous.
"quickly today I want to see, where is the picture", said an old man who is also one of the residents of the orphanage.
"yes, I know that tomorrow bring your mother's daughter-in-law here", said another old woman.
The situation was even more boisterous because of the words Rio said. Rio just laughed at the fanfare of the old men in the parlour.
.......
Switch to Tina...
Tina, a student who likes Rio is sad because she was not chosen by the campus to go to debate, which she is sad not not to participate in the debate but can not join Rio to leave.
"how the hell am I supposed to come?", seagrass Tina.
"oh he, uncle!!", said Tina with a smile that recalled his uncle who was a Rector!!!
..............
Back to Rio who was in the nursing home.
Rio's phone rang that there was an incoming message, Rio rushed to reach the rectangular cheek object. “Tomorrow morning meet me in my room”, Rio read the incoming message from the Dean.
“ia pak”, reply Rio briefly reply message to Dean.
The next day Rio and Pak dean had been sitting opposite at the desk of the Dean's room which was on the 4th floor.
“I mean I called you today to ask about any of our students who you registered to participate in the debate later”, directly asked Mr. Santoso who is the Dean and boss of Rio.
“oh it pack, they are Salsa, Glen and Lisa that I chose. They pretty convincingly cut me”,
Obviously Rio to the Dean.
“Tina. Salsa Replace Tina”, reply Dean.
“sorry. He means sir?”, asked Rio.
“I was yesterday called Mr. Rector. He was disappointed why Tina was not included in the student sent for debate. Mr. Rector does not want to know anyway Tina must follow”, explained the Dean at length to Rio.
“but sir....”, Rio replied.
Not done yet Rio spoke, the Dean spoke again.
“already follow, it is an honor the Rector took care of our campus, you just follow”, said the Dean.
“well sir, I will run”, closed Rio who ended their conversation that morning.
Rio also walked down the stairs while saying in his heart, “almost only, said Rio who did not realize that the entry of Tina's name was no more because he was the Rector's nephew.
Rio took out his cell phone and started typing:
Announcement of changes in the name of students who will follow the debate in Jakarta:
Tinas
Glens
Lisa
This announcement was made. Please select students to prepare themselves. Thanks though.
Elsewhere there was a happy smile that emanated from the look of a female student while reading the announcement that Rio sent to their message group. Yes, Tina was the happiest student that morning.
“thank you uncle.....!!!”, yelled happily Tina thanked her uncle because thanks to his uncle the rector he could be included in the debate to be held in Jakarta with Rio as his Advisor.
