Eps.68 Graduation

This morning the Wiratmadja family residence was filled with people who were preparing to attend Raka's graduation.

Finally after these few months Raka focused on working on her thesis, she managed to graduate with satisfactory grades.

The friends of Raka have been staying since last night to be at the house of Reksa to accompany her to run the Graduation held today in one of the largest buildings in Jakarta.

" Raka...Are you ready yet ?" arya screams from behind the door of Raka's room.

" A little more..!" answered Raka who was dressing up was helped by Mr. Har.

" Cepet little napa ! What time is it ?" Arya was still shouting while looking at the clock that was coiled around her wrist.

Dito, and Leo who saw Arya's behavior can only shake their heads.

This friend of theirs is indeed too attractive in every situation.

But that's what makes their friendship feel more colorful and cheerful.

Today Emran and Rico cannot attend because they have business that cannot be left behind.

Moments later, Reksa appeared to approach the two young men, then joined them and sat down with them in front of Raka's room.

" Just leave it, soon it will come out" said Reksa to Arya.

Arya immediately nodded awkwardly while scratching her non-itchy head and walked over sitting beside Dito who was seen holding back her laughter.

" That*lan loe..!" arya's curse elbowed Dito's stomach a little hard.

" Oh.." Dito complained quietly while looking at Arya sharp.

All he saw was turning his face away and pretending not to know.

Muta and Leo who actually know the act of Arya and Dito can only shake resignedly.

This is how if they had all gathered together, there would have been little drama and quarrels that added warmth to the friendship of the young entrepreneurs.

At eight in the morning Raka had arrived at the graduation ceremony location, he immediately headed to the place where students of the same majors with him gathered.

Keyra who became one of the graduation committee this time, seemed busy wara-wiri arranged the event to run smoothly and successfully.

Raka occasionally saw Keyra walking in front of their room, but there was no time for them to greet each other.

The relationship between the two is getting closer.

Keyra's warlike and slightly spoiled nature, became a booster and entertainment for Raka who was serious and rarely spoke.

Although they have met less and less since Raka has been busy working on the thesis for the past few months.

But they still tell each other via short messages or occasional calls.

The event has been since a while ago and now all students and guests have filled the area of the building where the graduation event was held.

Likewise with Reksa, he has come since a while ago to represent as the owner of the foundation.

Currently Reksa sits with the lecturers and the foundation officials present.

Arya and Dion are also present, they are waiting outside together with Joni and Mpok Isah because not all families are allowed to enter the graduation area.

While Leo became the only representative of the family from Raka.

And Dito also became one of the graduation participants this time only with a different time.

.

Everyone applauded when they heard Raka's name being called to come forward.

Raka graduated with the best grades to win the summa cumlaode predicate.

Decak awe and pride were heard from the guests present, and the whispers of students who talked about the intelligence of Raka also increasingly make boisterous the state of the room.

Several times the host had to give a warning so that the atmosphere was calm again.

Raka advanced to the podium to give a word, two words as an expression of gratitude and happiness for graduating at the right time and the best student degree bonus this year.

Everyone seemed to hold their breath seeing Raka standing firmly on the podium with a very different charisma.

Raka circulated her gaze looking for a place to sit people who have contributed in his life.

His gaze stopped on Reksa who was sitting in the front seat, they were staring at each other.

Muta smiled proudly to see her grandson so dashing, with all the advantages that Raka had.

Raka began to thank the lecturer staff, especially Mr. Handoko who always gave his support to Raka during his education at this campus.

" Grandfather, this I also dedicate to Grandfather who has given his affection for me..." Raka stared fixedly at the Grandfather in front of her.

" And all who have been willing to accompany, support, and are always behind me. Give support and enthusiasm in living all the obstacles I face, until I can be at this point. I can't name you one by one but I'm sure you know.... Thanksmeme it.... "

That was the fragment of the word that Raka said before finally stepping back and bowing respectfully to all the Rector, Lecturers and students and invited guests, then walking down the stage.

His steps led him to the old figure who had just kept staring at him with teary eyes.

" Grandfather..."

Muta immediately stood up and scattered, hugging Raka with a drop of falling tears.

" You're great Raka, Cake is proud of you "that speech that got away from Grandpa's vibrating mouth.

Everyone who did not know the closeness between Raka and Reksa looked shocked and dumbstruck.

Even the lecturers who did not know that Raka was the grandson of the foundation owner who cried the campus were shocked.

" Thank you Kek, this is all I offer to Grandpa "lih Raka unravels her embrace.

Mutual nodded, smiling proudly and haru. It never occurred to him that Raka would say that to him.

After a shocking drama that left everyone gawking in disbelief, the show resumed and went smoothly without any obstacles.

.

.

Raka tries to get out when Arya and Dion rush her and congratulate her.

Leo, Joni and Mpok Isah also went around Raka and hugged her alternately.

" Loe has finally passed Ka, Tama and Laras must be proud now ngeliat loe "Actah sobbed in Raka's arms.

" Yes Mpok, Raka dedicates this all to Father and Mother" replied Raka stroked the soft back of her adoptive mother.

Raka continues to look busy receiving congratulations from students and guests who know Raka.

Sometimes Raka looked to the right and left, like she was looking for something.

" Young Master, you are waiting for the Big Master to go to the restaurant immediately" said Leo who had just received news from Alex.

" Wait a minute, I'll be there any minute "Raka passed by leaving Leo.

Raka walked to the back room, where the organizers were.he pulled his lips up slightly to make a faint smile on his handsome face when he saw the person he was looking for was there.

Walking in his distinctive style, his gaze was locked on the tiny figure who still looked busy.

" Wouldn't congratulate me hem ?"

The tiptoed Keyra was shocked to hear a voice she was so familiar with was a joke behind her.

It glared sharply when it saw the figure of the tall man and the middle crow standing behind it with its warm smile.

" Raka.." sissed Keyra softly, he looked around, seen everyone there was watching him and Raka in between their respective activities.

" Sorry.." Keyra looked at Raka with her guilt.

Raka was anxious with Keyra's current expression.

" Come, Grandpa is waiting for us outside "Raka is holding Keyra's wrist.

" I'm still busy "Keyra's a bit of a push, even though she actually wants to go with Raka.

" Come, everything is taken care of "Raka is still pulling Keyra out of the committee room.

" Key... Where are you going ?" Monic and Regina who had just entered intercepted Keyra who was walking beside Raka.

" Key I took it first go "sahut Raka quickly, he pulled back Keyra's hand to walk back.

Keyra looked back, apologizing to Monic and Regina with a mouth gesture.

The two friends of Keyra exhaled a rough breath while puffing his guard.

" The rich are free....!" they both end with laughter.
