Romance In Makara Orange

Oase Campus (Early Start)

Since the talk of the elite theory, somehow there is always a sin in the life of the campus Vira.

The following week, Kosa invited lunch together after college and was forced to refuse it because Vira reasoned that she had eaten in the cafeteria before college began.

Kosa also invited him to participate in regular review discussions about Indonesian politics in the library reading room that was difficult to resist.

Initially Vira refused because of her interest in comparative politics and not Indonesian politics but Kosa assured that understanding Indonesian politics is good to broaden the perspective in looking at politics in other countries. According to Kosa what happens in other countries is not much different from what happens in the country.

Looks like Kosa didn't give up on anything else either. When he met at the campus photocopier, he was offered to engage in research at the Study Center. Kosa needs five students who become data collectors in Bekasi. His job is only to collect documents and make categorization of data on documents related to the Bekasi City DPRD. Kosa said it needs students who live in Bekasi to be easy and smooth working.

Vira who lives in Bekasi is still reluctant to give answers. Somehow he was not too interested in campus activities outside of college, student organization activities, participating in research or part-time work. His interlude activities on campus are only a library manager at the Musholla Campus. That was because he could freely go in and out of the library and read the books he liked.

The next day Vira was reunited with Kosa on the campus and asked about her willingness to engage in her research.

“Lumayan Vir honornya, if this one is okay later I added research in Bekasi Regency as well. You can pay for your own tuition,” Kosa believes.

He who has not thought about finding his own money is slowly getting interested. During this time he only enjoyed studying on campus with books as his world and sometimes climbing mountains in his spare time. Money is no problem. His father, a manager in a foreign company, also did not put too much pressure on him to participate in various campus activities.

“Alright Brother, insya Allah I want to try to come. Please help and cooperation Kak Kosa,” replied Vira while bowing half her body.

Rosa looked at him with a big smile and was satisfied

Field research is only one week, but the affairs of documents, speakers and all kinds of meetings require a lot of time especially the data collection team that is recruited by Kosa is not only from the same department and generation. It is difficult to arrange a meeting time on the sidelines of the busy lecture.

This month, Vira intensively met with Kosa as a field coordinator when usually only once a week in the eyes of his lecture Mas Syahran.

During the research, Vira was in contact with Ms. Siska from the archive and secretarial section of the Bekasi City DPRD. Vira simply collects the data and shares it based on the issues set by the main research lecturer. The work was handed over to Kosa. Not too difficult especially the distance from his home to the Board Office only takes less than 30 minutes.

But sometimes it's hard when it comes to dealing with a busy Board member who's amazing. It's been an appointment with the expert staff but it can be canceled just like that. In fact, not infrequently, Vira had to pursue Board members and expert staff when this holiday reached her papil because it had entered a recess period. Tired but quite fun for Vira

Over the course of a month of research, Vira's life began to change. Kosa introduced herself to some of her friends who were also campus activists like Danu, Pras called Bokep and Kimmy who were also involved in the study.

Kosa did not elaborate on the position of his friends in this study. Vira only knows that she is related to Kosa.

Vira also knows some cross-class students and majors who often gather with Kosa like Kak Juna who likes to write in campus magazines. He who has been struggling with only college books seems to get a new enlightenment in the campus world. The conversation is no longer just theory or research but also other things about gossip on campus.

“Good work Vir," said Kimmy as he gathered for the final review and the signature of the honorary reception.

"But later if there is something wrong crossing-check, you have to go back again yes and it is not paid anymore because it has included the same thing yesterday,” bright Kimmy again while saying that his honor will be transferred to their respective accounts.

“Siap Kak, please I was told if there is an error or lack of data yes!”

"Eh, but I salute you Vir. You're the last recruit and no more experience. Koq can do Kosa trust you,” timpal Danu who is next to Kimmy.

“Truely it's Vir. Sorry, Vir, at first I sanctioned Kosa enter your name. All the arrangement of the data collection team has been fixed eh, even he rattled at will. Make a fuss anyway before but it is not unexpected also the result is good,” said Kimmy.

Vira smiled when it turned out that Kimmy Brother revealed his participation in this study. Frankly, even if he did not know why he could be invited by Kosa.

“Kosa didn't shoot you, did Vir?” sergeant Kimmy.

“It looks like the Vira is not his type Kosa deh,” said Danu bluntly so as to make the face of Vira reddened and silent.

Tetiba Kosa entered the room and patted Kimmy on the shoulder.

“Honor's legacy is stretched, right Kim? Don't forget for me to add five percent, tax handsome people,” kanda Kosa to Kimmy who replied with a mouth manyun Kimmy.

"Eh, there's you Vir, we're meeting in Takor with the other data collection team. This one hour, don't forget," Kosa said to Vira.

“Gue same Danu not invited? Bokep all Kos, let the ramean be bit. Ntar bon eatnya I entered so financial statements so you do not lose,” said Kimmy while winking toward Kosa.

“Kuy, but ntar you report to Mas Syahran ya! Wrapin sate goat let not complain.” The wide laughing.

Arriving at Takor, the campus pride canteen with Makara orange logo, they took two front desk behind. The canteen is still not too crowded.

This one hour is the hour students are still in class because the class ends at half-time and starts back at two in the afternoon. There are some classes that do finish at one hour but not much. The employees have also finished lunch because their break has been from 12 noon until this one hour.

Vira sits next to Melati who is both a data collection team. Unexpectedly Kosa took a seat in front of Vira which was then followed by Danu who sat beside Kosa.

“What do you eat? ask Kosa to Vira and Melati.

Already ordered?”

“Already Brother, we ordered rice pecel same ice sweet tea,” said Melati who then called Vira.

“Not paid yet, right? Later in one stroke the same Kimmy, so it is easy to make the report,” said Kosa while smiling at Danu who laughed loudly.

The ordered food has arrived. Kosa ordered Imbi rice and Danu ordered chicken soto. It doesn't look like Kimmy and the other data-collecting teams are ordering anything because their position is behind Kosa and Danu.

“Vir, next week it's a group paper improvement deadline. Already done?” tetiba Kosa asked with a full mouth as they ate.

“Eeeh, not yet Kak,” replied Vira with some embarrassment.

“It's best to consider my input first. You can change theories and still use existing party institutional data or you can keep using Mosca theory but focus on party hegemony. Find new data again."

"I suggest mending change the theory just to be easy. Elo must have his book SP Varma about elite theory, easy it is,” said Kosa again while eating imbi rice, a typical snack of this campus.

“Oh, yes Brother, I will discuss first with Santi and Aldo, said Vira by mentioning the name of his group friends even though he was sure he himself would work on the repair.

“Eh Vir, try the rice imbinya, tumben si Mang Kosim, koq really delicious make it,” Kosa thrust a spoon filled with rice with topping of chicken milk, meatballs, meatballs, sausage with spiced vegetables right in front of his mouth.

Vira surprised. “Eh, no kak, this is still my food koq.” Vira tried to reject him. He was shocked half to death by the scene just now.

“Try first, ntar lo must be surprised it can feel as good as this. Really, I'm not lying.” Kosa keukeuh thrust her spoon in front of Vira's mouth.

Not wanting to prolong the business of refusing, Vira finally opened her mouth and accepted a bribe from Kosa.

Aaah, it turns out that it feels ordinary, like the imbi rice that he usually eats, he wrote in his heart even though he actually smiled faintly when he looked at Kosa who was then busy eating his rice again.

Vira was unaware, not only were Melati and Danu shocked to see this incident but there were many disbelieving eyes that were watching and watching them.
