I headed for class in shaky steps. Along the way, I continued to wipe away the remains of tears still soaking my face.
Shortly after, my feet slapped at the door. I took a deep breath, before knocking.
"Good morning, sir, sorry I'm late" I said as the door opened.
Erwin Prasetyo, the lecturer who was filling out my class this morning.
"Yes, please come in and sit down at your place!" replied Mr. Erwin, without taking issue with my delay.
I nodded with a smile, then I headed straight for my seat.
Mayra and Nindi looked at me intensely. Their eyebrows moved up and down with slightly squinting eyes, as a gesture of curiosity. I only responded with a wry smile, then I lowered my head and avoided their gazes.
After he finished giving the material, Mr. Erwin shared the results of the task last week. Some of us have been rebuked, because the value is too low. But not so with Nindi and Mayra, their value was eight commas, and that made Mr. Erwin praise him.
One by one we were called, and my name remained. Somehow I got the last order, but according to the absence of my name is in the middle.
"Kirana's Mentari!" call Mr. Erwin loudly.
I got up from my seat, without raising my face. I went ahead and stopped in front of Mr. Erwin's desk.
"I'm so proud of you, Kirana. When your friends have trouble getting an 8, you get a 9.7. You're amazing, Kirana, keep up your achievements." Erwin smiled as he handed me the book.
"Thank you, sir." I replied while carving a wry smile.
What good is good value, if my circumstances are not good. For the first time, I felt sad when I got a near-perfect score.
"You're great, Ra. Congratulations, yes," said Nindi.
"Thank you" I said slowly and without a smile.
I saw Nindi and Mayra looking at each other. Perhaps they were astonished by my current attitude.
"I'm sorry, May, I'm sorry, Nin, I can't tell you everything. But take it easy, time will tell you, what problem I really want, "my inner self.

As time goes on, day and night come back and forth. Days passed into weeks, and weeks turned into months.
It's been a month since I fought with Daniel. After that day, he repeatedly persuaded me to use the contents, and I always answered him with a slap.
Last week, Daniel relented and threw away his opinion. He appreciated my decision to insist on keeping this baby until birth, even though there was no marriage bond. On the cost, Daniel is willing to take responsibility, but on the other hand he cannot promise, because there is no official bond between us.
Every day, I would come to college and take lessons as usual. However, the last few days, I got a reprimand from the three lecturers. My grades plummeted far, and I could only say sorry, without being able to give a clear reason.
"Ra, what's the matter really?" nindi asked, one morning.
"The story dong, Ra, who knows we can help" Mayra said.
At that time, the three of us were sitting in the classroom, chatting while waiting for the lecturer to come.
"I'm fine." I answered while looking down. My eyes began to blur, maybe soon water droplets fell down the cheeks.
"There's no way you're okay, you've got a problem, Ra, I'm sure of that. Since the last month your attitude has changed completely, always moody and never cheerful. In fact, I miss your smile, Ra. Soon you are an apprentice, at first you are very excited about it. But now, you seem reluctant every time we talk about it, why?" asked Nindi, still pressing on me.
"I'm fine, Nin," I whispered. Then I covered my face with my palms, not allowing Mayra and Nindi to see tears.
"You cry and still say it's okay, Ra." Mayra shook my arm, but I was still silent without a word.
"Does this have anything to do with Daniel? Even though you guys are still together a lot, but I know your relationship is not what it used to be. I saw a wistful mess in your netra, what's up, Ra? Did Daniel betray you, or maybe your relationship didn't get your blessing? Say, Ra." Nindi spoke while grasping my shoulder.
I cried even more, I couldn't tell them this matter, but I didn't want to let them down either. What am I supposed to do now?
At the time I was still stuck in a dilemma, the pace of entering our class, it was Mr. Rahman who came, he was one of the lecturers who often guided us. I don't know why he was present, even though his schedule was Mr. Andik who filled the material.
Kuseka the remains of tears with fingers. Kuhela breathed a sigh of relief because the presence of Mr. Rahman made Mayra and Nindi speechless.
However, my relief did not last long, this body seemed to freeze after staring at two other figures.
The first man was wearing white, and the second man was wearing a police uniform.
"No, it's impossible today. I'm not ready if it's all revealed yet" my mind in a panic.
The white-clothed man was a medic, and I know very well what made them come here.
Trijaya University is one of the best universities in Malang City. That's why the rules here are so strict. Periodically, the campus conducts urine tests, to minimize users n*rkoba among young people. However, the nurse also found a pregnancy. Those whose test results were positive, were immediately dropped out without tolerance. No matter who they are and what their status is, trying is something unforgivable.
"Oh my God, is this the end of all dreams." I sat down and bit my lips.
The sensation in the chest is increasingly erratic. If the campus knew about my pregnancy, it was over, inevitably the dream had to be buried that very second.
