Maharaja University
Candidate Candidate for Campus Prince



FKIP Announcement Board


The horrendous news in FKIP makes all Students huddle so as not to miss the latest news. Kevin who saw the crowd did not care about it and decided to turn left towards his class. But someone pulled him without saying anything to the crowd. The people who knew of Kevin's presence avoided the board. Sure enough, Kevin's face was plastered there, not embarrassing news, but Kevin was chosen as the Candidate for the Campus Representative of his Faculty. Melanie only noticed Kevin's face which was very surprised by his selection and followed him to class. Irfan comes to find Kevin leaving the crowd, before following Kevin and Melanie, Irfan takes the time to look at the noticeboard and then runs after Kevin.


In his class, Kevin felt strange, unlike usual all classmates looked at Kevin who headed to his seat. Kevin just walked in doubt while putting the bag in his chair.

A few days after the announcement instead of Kevin's life would be better because he was already a Candidate Prince now because previously he was very disturbed by some terror. But this even worsened the situation, every ledge of his feet on Campus reaped scorn from the saying of impropriety until Kevin was said to be a parasite for Irfan because previously Irfan was the Candidate Prince. When Kevin wanted to sit down, there was a sign that We would not support the King of the Jungle, the prince of the sewers. Kevin looks around the class to see who wrote this, but Kevin holds back his anger.

The Canteen


Kevin, Irfan and Melanie were chatting while sitting down to enjoy their meal.


"everyone is looking at you vin." cried Irfan.


"don't you tell me she's conscious either." said Melanie who answered the question Kevin should have answered. 


"gue buy a drink first." said Kevin who moved. But accidentally someone spilled his drink into Kevin's chest, suddenly making Melanie and Irfan surprised and approached Kevin.


"sorry prince, I did not intentionally apologize" said the perpetrator with a laughing tone. Melanie helped clean Kevin's shirt.


"it was intentional, a clay cave!" said Irfan who is very clear to see that intentional with a sign.


"The assistant is angry woy!" said the horde of Engineering kids who were at one table next to Kevin's desk.


"what assistant did the prince fail? or the prince in tumbalin?" exclaim the watering perpetrator who is also a Engineering student with a soft tone.


"bang*at!" said Irfan who gave a hard blow on the face of the perpetrator to fall. His comrades who had previously laughed were now silent. "Dissolve you an*ng!" irfan continued by walking towards the table with explosive emotions, and the horde disbanded. A very interesting spectacle for visitors to the canteen because everything is really just paying attention to this, without anyone taking the initiative to separate. After that Irfan tried to look around the canteen, from a distance seen Prince Campus and his gang walked towards him and then Irfan went to follow Melanie who led Kevin out of the canteen.

The Ice Cream Shop


"you think this is too much, don't you?" ask Melanie


"gue is also suspicious that there is a mastermind behind all this" said Kevin who holds his chin on the Ice Cream display


"don't tell?" said Irfan who is prejudiced again


"but it could be, you'll all see. Every time after the incident, there must have been him" Melanie said


"but just yesterday I went to the top with his family, he was cold, but to get there I wasn't sure" Kevin said as he approached Melanie and Irfan and sat down with them.


"to the top with his family?" irfan and Melanie asked in surprise.


"so nyokapnya cake violators nyokap cave, and the cave has often been home all this time" said Kevin who then continued to tell about his vacation to the top with his family Prince.

College Home Hours


Kevin was cleaning his book rushing to the library where Melanie and Irfan were waiting for him.  When he was doing his activities there were some people who pelted Kevin with a lump of wet paper from outside the class, some of the throws were right hit Kevin's head and face. Not staying silent Kevin tried to chase the culprit, but there was a foot that was seen by Kevin in front of the door, the foot was seen to be blocking Kevin by snaking him. Kevin was able to avoid that by jumping it, but ill-fatedly, on the floor where he landed from his jump turned out to have been flush by liquid soap that made Kevin even mired into a dry sewer next to the school Corridor. Kevin was just grimacing in pain complete with his dirty clothes and being a spectacle.


"weak right you? where's your assistant and concubine?" said a perpetrator. "gua do not want the teacher represented by a weak person like you, if you are not weak, tomorrow we play on the badminton court, how? ready no? are you afraid?" without giving Kevin a chance to talk he went on again. "dah disperse, will not dare him. weak!" yet Kevin took out his words while standing cleaning himself up.


"Gue accepts your challenge." said Kevin. Then the perpetrator went with the one watching it.


Irfan and Melanie's Library is still holding Kevin.


"where the hell hasn't he come?" ask Melanie.


"i don't feel good" said Irfan.


"Yes, but we don't have to worry because Kevin is already in protection" said Melanie who made the two of them say the word protection again along with the eyes. Then they ran to Kevin's class. Because they're Kevin's protectors when he comes home from school like this, where some rules don't apply.


Arriving in front of the class, Melanie and Irfan are shocked to see Kevin's classroom corridor falling apart and find Kevin sitting by the gutter all by himself.


"elu why? slip-up?" ask Melanie. Kevin just grimaced with his limp leg. And Irfan looked around looking for the perpetrator.

Kevin was escorted home by Irfan on Irfan's loan bike. Arriving at home, Kevin tried to walk normally in front of his mother and sister.


"Kevin, is your shirt dirty? you why?" ask Mother.


"it was on the road" Kevin said


"rainy" Irfan replied.


"indeed rain? where's where?" ask the mother who watches outside her house bright with the sun.


"on Campus" said Irfan.


"on the road" Kevin also replied. "the rain from campus, on the way to the house has subsided" continued Kevin. Then Kevin asked Irfan to go home by saying that he wanted to rest. 


"gue never once to your house Kev" said Irfan who suddenly appeared from the intersection.


"kok you haven't come back yet? what's the fuck in here?" ask Kevin.


"gua can't believe you go straight to sleep, spit up. Anterine cave" said Irfan who delivered Kevin with his motorbike to the destination address in the cake.

Kevin, who is still protected without an escort, chooses to go to the lake during his break, as none of his classmates will talk to him.


Arriving at the lake, Kevin chose to sit on a long bench. There was a student holding a pink pen in his left hand and his right hand throwing stones at the lake.


I was enjoying the cool air at noon on the lake. Kevin was like being spoken to by the student.


"who are you talking to?" keving asked as he looked around him that there was no one but them. Kevin was confused and kept looking at the woman who spoke to herself. Kevin heard the woman say Kevin? who's? she's she? I don't know? you are the one who asked.


"is his name Kevin?" ask the woman. Kevin answered her with a doubtful nod of his head. And that woman was like talking about it with someone occasionally stealing glances at Kevin, but the fact was that there was no one else there but Kevin and that woman. Prospective Prince? who's? She's she? My God!(speak for yourself) . The woman approached Kevin and sat down next to him, with Kevin shifting his seat because Kevin hesitated a bit to be around him.


"You're a Prince Candidate?" Ask the long haired woman.


"Yes" replied Kevin.


"what have you been through? missing money? a pen? broken bones?" the question that made Kevin surprised and set his eyes on him.


"everything is right, except for missing money" said Kevin "do you know where you're from?" kevin asked.


"my friend said, my friend has also experienced things like you, but he gave up" said the woman, pointing to the tallest building in her University near the lake.


"hhhhhh out of school?" kevin said as if asking.


"he said the Candidate Princess/Prince who had been elected could not refuse, even if he wanted to refuse or give up by way of getting out of the Maharaja or ending up there, like him." the woman said and again pointed at the building with her pink pen.


"yes, that's right" said Kevin.


"sure your days are tough, Kevin. Remember my words, you've fought so far don't give up. Let's say that all the struggles will end today and tomorrow is victory, so you will use your full strength today" she said.


"yes, take it" said Kevin, and the woman said again.


"my friend, he ended up there. And tomorrow she gets the highest cumulative score as a Princess" she said and then left with her behavior like joking with someone.

On this Badminton court Kevin faced off against the man who challenged him yesterday. The audience seats were quite crowded not with Kevin supporters, but more of the enemies of the Candidate Prince. With the racket in his hand, Kevin dueled with the challenger even though Kevin realized he still felt pain in his leg due to falling from the gutter yesterday.


When his opponent aimed the shuttle near the net, Kevin tried to reach him even though the distance was far behind, making himself have to run towards the front and begin to feel pain in his legs because of the shocking movement.


Rival Kevin continues to give away balls that are difficult to reach, making Kevin very hard work to take it and in the end Kevin fell in points behind 15 - 9. His opponent knew very well that now Kevin was holding pain in his leg, and continued to deliver a blow that was difficult to achieve. Shuttle was hit far back to make Kevin fall down to pick it up by walking limp. Approached again with the net the punch made Kevin drag his legs to take the shuttle cock with cheers and mockery from the audience complete with sweat flowing on his face and pain in the feel feet. Suddenly the audience threw a bottle of drinking water on Kevin's head which made Kevin grimace in pain at points 18 - 15. 


"how? surrender?" ask the challenger to Kevin who is sitting holding his ankle. "see our Prince Candidate? a weak one like this would represent the Teacher?" he continued in a loud voice complete with a satisfied laugh amid Kevin's helplessness at the time.

The Class 2A. Class is Irfan


15:00 o'clock


"Mom's sorry yah has asked for a sudden change of class" said Ms. Shinta who then went to end her class. Irfan quickly runs into Kevin's class but is empty, trying to send a message to Melanie but has not been responded. 


Melanie who was reading a book in the new library got a notification from Irfan, and was surprised to see the clock on her Handpho that showed at 15:00. Melanie also has to meet Irfan and Kevin, and Irfan meets Melanie at a corridor intersection.


"Kevin where is it? I'm daritadi in the perpus." Melanie asked with a breath of breath


"in his class there is also nothing" said Irfan confused. Then there were 2 students who were talking about Live on Instargram with a very noisy chorus making Irfan and Melanie curious to see it and peek. On Live it was very clear that the camera aimed at Kevin who was grimacing in the middle of the Badminton court made Melanie and Irfan widen their eyes while looking at each other. Irfan and Melanie ran straight to Badminton.


*****


In his helplessness Kevin with the cheers thrown by the penoton to him. Kevin looked towards the open door and found Prince Campus there and then left. Kevin closed his eyes and Kevin was reminded by the words of the student at the lake.


Assume that all struggle will end today and tomorrow is victory, then you will use your full strength today. 


Hearing those words always cross Kevin's mind, Kevin seemed to get his strength again. 


Kevin stood up and continued the game, ignoring all the cheers he had thrown at him. Not feeling the pain in his legs, Kevin gave a hard Smash towards his opponent many times until his opponent gave up in pain. His opponent was in pain as every point he feared with Smash violently hitting his body, and his opponent was giving up at points 18 - 21. 


His opponent received cheers from the audience for his defeat. Audience and arranger Kevin came out of Badminton gor, then Kevin turned his eyes to the door, he saw the woman who was at the lake in front of the door in style as if giving spirit and congratulations to Kevin who made Kevin smile in the middle of the sweat of his face. Before long Melanie and Irfan come over to Kevin to help him walk away from the gor.

Ice Cream Shop


"so what happened yesterday on the badminton court?" ask Irfan


"so I was challenged to prove that I deserve to be a Prince Candidate" Kevin told Melanie and Irfan


"with the state of your feet so and you agree to his challenge? crazy you" Melanie told Kevin


"why don't you tell us?" ask Irfan


"gue wants to know, the time is not right" replied Kevin


"Please, this is the last one. I don't want to hear anymore about you there are secrets we don't know, it's not your problem that you feel. But we're here as your best friend to feel useless if you like gini. inget you still have me and Irfan" said Melanie who lectured Kevin


"yes, I'm sorry" said Kevin. In the middle of their conversation 2 people who were chatting with shock throw stones at Kevin's Ice Cream store until the glass broke apart. Irfan exited the store and chased with his borrowed motorbike. Melanie also came out but to hold Irfan, but failed. Kevin was very surprised and confused, what else was this ordeal, in his mind. 


Kevin saw the paper tied to the stone, Kevin took it and read it. The paper read 'Prince of rubbish, Stop wishing and leave immediately from the Maharaja' . Melanie approached Kevin and Kevin gave the paper to Melanie, and Kevin sat down weakly afterwards.
