Faculty of Mipa
At 13:00 PM
Time passed so quickly, another month Amrita will graduate. The woman waited a long time because she was the first student in her class to finish the script. And today, is the day where Fakri, Hanin and Maya as well as some of their friends will have the thesis exam.
Fakri and Hanin inhaled a deep breath of air. The two couples were still in a car parked in front of Faculty Mipa. Not only the two of them were in the car, but also Amrita and the twins.
"Tante, Om, the spirit" said Fadila encouraged Om and his prospective Tantenya.
"Yes Fadila. But Om is nervous" Fakri replied.
"Papa said don't forget to read the prayer" said Fattan chimed.
"Yes, Fattan" Fakri smiled back as he kissed his nephew's cheek.
"Jinkil, Ucil. You two don't get nervous. The thesis test is thinly different from the proposal test. If the proposal places more emphasis on the workings and methods and reasons, then the thesis is more about the results of research and the reasons for using materials" explained Amrita trying to encourage.
"Yes, Amrita. Pray for us yes. Hopefully the exam is smooth so I can apply for Hanin" replied Fakri who still had time to fight.
"Bab!! Let's go downstairs. Maya has come" Hanin said later confirming her hijab.
Fakri and Hanin get out of the car, as do Amrita and her two children. They walked to the seminar room. Inside the seminar room, there was Maya and some other friends who were also thesis exams.
"Spirit!!" said Fattan and Fadila seriously, again cheering Om Fakri and Aunt Hanin.
All the students in front of the seminar room smiled looking at the serious faces of Fattan and Fadila. The two boys were pacing back and forth in front of the seminar room. Occasionally glanced in there, staring at Om and his Tantenya who were getting ready. Amrita sat down with her other friends.
"Let's go in" asked Mother Fauziah who happened to be a member of the examiner.
"Not for Grandma. We're here" Fattan replied with her adorable smile.
"Yes already. Grandma entered first yes" said Bu Fauziah then entered the seminar room.
Every lecturer who wants to enter the seminar room always invites Fattan and Fadila in. But the two boys always refused. Actually they want to but before going to college. Mama Amrita has stressed to them not to enter the seminar room even though the lecturer invited them in.
The thesis seminar began. All of the participants in the thesis exam looked nervous. How not, there is one lecturer that is most avoided by students because the question is always to keep students quiet. The real question has an answer but it always makes the tick die.
"Fattan, Fadila, come here" called Amrita down a little.
"Let's Mama. I want to see Om learn" replied Fadila without looking at Mama. The little boy was still staring at Omnya who was presenting the results of his research.
"Don't look Om, Om will be nervous" said Amrita reprimanding her two children.
Fattan and Fadila pouted. The two children did not want to be dissident children but they also wanted to see Om Fakri who was presenting the results of his research in front of the lecturers. "Mama's pissed off" muttered Fadila, shaking her lips.
Drt drt drt. Amrita's cell phone rang. My husband's name, my medicine. The other one is Aziz. Immediately Amrita answered and placed the cheek on her daughter's ear.
"Assalamualaikum" said Fadila was not excited.
"Vaalaikumsalam. How's it at college? Fadila likes?" tanya Aziz across the phone.
"Sir, don't talk rich. Not good" said Fattan.
Fadila started sobbing. He dropped his mother's phone and ran to the car. He thought the car could be opened but his small posture made Fadila difficult to open the car door. Amrita pursued her daughter and persuaded her, but unfortunately Fadila's annoyance was so great that she could not be persuaded.
"Sad. Come with Om to the cafeteria. Later we buy ice cream there" called Kak Nuki who happened to pass by while pointing at the campus cafeteria.
"No way!!" reply Fadila slightly raised her voice.
"Sir Nuki, I'm sorry my son" said Fadila who was uncomfortable with Fadila's attitude to her senior mother.
"It's okay, Deck. Kids love to snort. Brother to the canteen first yes" replied Kak Nuki then went to the canteen.
To be honest, people who had witnessed Fadila's behavior were made jubilant and wanted to pinch the child's cabby cheeks. Even some of them approached Fadila and tried to persuade the little boy. But again the little boy continued to sulk.
"Mama. Papa called" said Fattan, who was suddenly standing next to her mother, handing over her phone.
Amrita took her cell phone and answered a call from her husband. "Hello, Mum. Fadila was still crying" Amrita explained.
"Give Fadila his cell phone" Aziz said.
Amrita looked at her daughter who was starting to calm down but still sobbing. "Papa wants to talk to you" said Amrita handed her phone to her little daughter.
"Fadilla. Don't cry anymore, son. It's Papa's on the road to be there. Later we go to Grandpa's house and ask Om to study there" Aziz explained to calm his daughter.
"Yes" replied Fadila briefly. Fadila returned her mother's phone and wiped her tears. Then circulate his gaze to and fro looking for the figure of Kak Nuki.
Without asking her permission, Fadila ran over to Kak Nuki who had just come out of the cafeteria with her friends. "Om" call Fadila smile.
"You want some ice cream?" tanya Kak Nuki offered.
"Yes" replied Fadila nodding.
Kak Nuki's friends smiled and invited Fadila into the cafeteria. They asked Fadila to speak. And the little boy always answered like an adult.
"Fadila" call Aziz who has not been on campus for a long time. The man did not realize what made people look at him. And without Aziz noticing, he forgot to take off his doctor suit.
"Papa.." cried Fadila then got down from the small running chair hugging her Papa. "Papa's clothes smell of medicine" he continued.
Aziz glanced at the clothes he was wearing. "Astaghfirullah's. It is fitting that the students here look at me apparently because of this shirt" muttered Aziz then released his child's embrace and then took off his suit.
"Dec, thank you. Sorry to bother you guys" Aziz told Nuki and her friends.
"No, Brother. Big Brother's son is very smart" replied Nuki's sister smiling.
"Fadila, let's wait for Om to come out and then we go home and ask Om to re-learn at home" Aziz, who was nodding by Fadila.
Aziz carried his daughter and carried her into the car. In the car, there was Fattan and Amrita. They decided to go home because it was late afternoon. And this time they're going home at Aunt Eka's. They will spend the night there. Before leaving campus, Amrita again felt a strange feeling in her. He saw someone standing in a tree in the parking lot.
"Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah, Abaghfirullah" Amrita said in his heart.
