"Sister Mely, we deliberately said last because, this time the test in defending your scientific work can not be declared pass. You failed in defending your thesis." Said the Board of Examiners firmly.
Duarr....
Mely was very surprised to hear the results the examination board read. This is impossible, because as the trial progresses. Mely did very well. He mastered what he wrote. Although there is a Lecturer Testers who refute the results of his research. But, He can convince and explain the results of his research.of course, when the Lecturer of the script participated.
"What...? You must be lying. During the exam, I was able to answer all of my questions. Why didn't I graduate?" he said with teary eyes. Mely did not believe the words of the examining board. But, what power, it turns out all the board testers turned out to give a D value to him.
With feelings of sadness, hate and resentment. Mely walked out of the room with no spirit. Her foggy eyes were now welled up with tears.
It is true that his father said that He became a useless man. The thesis exam alone does not pass. It was only fitting that his father would hand over all their possessions to Rival. Strangers in their lives.
Mely returned to tears. He came out of the room feeling sad. He felt his life was over, lose...!
"How did it go?" ask one of their generation, who always kepo about the grades of students who have just had a thesis exam.
Mely was silent, in a standing position had not responded to the words of his friends. He was still shocked and did not believe the results heard from the jury.
"Hey Mely, how did it go. Got what value? A, B, C or D?" ask her friend Linda.
"I got a D. I didn't pass." Answer weak. He also sat his buttocks on the side of the corridor of the room where the thesis was held.
"What...?" linda was shocked by the high tone of voice. So that other students who are still standing in groups or sitting on the side of the corridor or who are sitting in the front garden of the courtroom were suddenly looking at Mely and Linda.
"You didn't pass?" linda asked, still with her surprised expression and the tone of voice rising.
Mely glared towards Linda. She felt Linda was about to humiliate her by shouting.
"You wear a toa, you say it out loud." Mely said annoyedly, looking at Linda who was standing next to her. With bulging eyes.
Mely rubbed her face rough. Massaging his temples and forehead that feels so painful. He must calm himself. Finally, He chose to go to the park in the yard of their faculty.
Along the way to the park, news of him not passing the thesis exam quickly circulated. So that He also heard a discordant voice, which said that He was indeed fit to get a D value. He is a student who is notoriously lazy to campus and likes to oppose Lecturers.
Mely did not respond to what people said about her that was considered bad. In reality, he is not right. Why debate reality.
As Mely walked away limply, all of a sudden, she felt her hand being held by someone from behind. Slacking without looking at who was holding him. Mely threw the hand. So that the hand was released and clenched in the air.
"May...!" said the man who held Mely's hand. He knew that voice. Who else if not her husband. Tumben once her husband came to campus even though Mely was not there to contact her to be picked up.
Mely quickly wiped her tears that were now creek in the corner of her eyes. He was not confident, to meet the man who called his name with tears.
Mely did not dare to turn around, so the man who called her was now in front of her.
"You crying?" Rival stared intensely at the face of his wife, who was looking down, trying to hide her puffy face. Did not get an answer from his wife. Rival was sure something was wrong.
He grabbed Mely's chin, so that Rival could clearly stare at the sad and upset and hopeless face implied on his beautiful wife's face.
"Why did you come here?" Mely shifted the subject, She continued her steps back to the park that was near before her.
"Abang wants to take Adek to lunch together. Want to celebrate the moment Adek finished the thesis trial." Said Rival, looking at Mely who was sitting next to him. They sat on an elongated cement chair, under a Ketapang tree.
"No need to celebrate, Adek did not pass his test." His reply was sad to look straight up, trying to hold back those reminiscent tears. In order not to fall.
Rival was surprised to hear his wife's words. He doesn't believe that Mely didn't graduate. Rival who saw his wife was so sad. He grabbed Mely's hand, grabbed her. So inevitably Mely, turned to face her husband.
"He wanted to give Mely support, so as not to be too sad. "Have not grieved, yet" said Rival, grasping Mely's hand gently and smiling. "Can still be repeated, later more enthusiasm to learn." Rival looked at Mely's sad face and displayed a surprised face as well.
Mely was a little surprised, why her husband was not disappointed in her. Mely warned me about it. When he said he didn't graduate. Rival will be disappointed.
The still dumbfounded Mely was startled by the voice of her classmate Linda, who called out her name loudly from two meters away while walking briskly towards where Mely and Rival were sitting.
Mely looked towards Linda who was approaching her. While Linda who was walking towards them, immediately bent her body weakly, after she saw Rival sitting next to her Mely.
"What's wrong?" asked Mely lazily. His feelings only increased. Look at Linda who always looks at Rival.
"You are called Mr. Anton. Sent to the courtroom." Linda said with a smile to Rival. He casually greeted Rival. "Hey.... The handsome..!" Linda smiled faintly. Rival displayed a skeptical facial expression.
"Who is Mr Anton Dek?" tanya Rival threw away her face from Linda's eyes.
"My examiner's lecturer dear. Yuk beganin Adek to the room." Mely. He was wondering why he was called back to the courtroom.
Rival nodded, but he felt reluctant to enter the courtroom later.
"Dear baby, don't get close to Linda." Mely withdrew Rival's hand, in order to follow his steps into the courtroom. He did not want to leave Rival with his flirtatious friend Linda.
Mely felt astonished by her friends who did not believe, that Rival was her husband. Because when friends ask for proof that they are married, Mely can't prove it. They have not yet arranged a marriage book. Even Mely's friends who asked for proof of the wedding photos, Mely could not give it.
"Aduuhh is a guy who looks very ordinary, looks ordinary, but can captivate the eyes and heart if you see it." Say Linda with her perverted face. He seemed to wet his lips with his tongue.
Now Mely was in front of Mr. Anton, while Rival was waiting outside, precisely near the door. He could only see Mely from the outside.
"Here, take it." Said Mr. Anton with a flat face. Mely grabbed the brown envelope from Mr. Anton's hand with a face expression no less flat. Because He was lazy to see the three Lecturers, who could give his value D. He felt he could master the writing he made.
"Open up." Mr. Anton, still showing his flat face, as well as the other two lecturers.
Without asking, Mely opened the envelope. Unfold the white paper in the envelope.
With his laziness Mely began to read the writing on the paper. Instantly his eyes bulged, his heart rumbled as his shock read the contents within the envelope
Congratulations on passing the thesis exam, with a grade of A.
That was the content of the letter that Mely was holding at the moment. Mely looked at the three middle-aged Lecturers in front of her in disbelief. It could be that the lecturer who had smelled the soil was pranking him. Basic age alone is old, but the behavior is still like a child ABEGE.
"Happy Mely, you've got a job!" said the three Lecturers of the Examiner simultaneously.
The term prank does not exist.
