Syifa who had finished presenting her work ended her words with greetings.The atmosphere of the room arrived boisterously with the applause of the people present in the room.Everyone who heard Syifa's presentation was amazed by the exception of Menko Until he stood up from his seat giving applaus to Syifa.Syifa bowed respectfully and walked gracefully back to her seat.

Syifa was the last finalist to present her scientific work.MC announced the event will be in pause for the next hour, to give the committee a chance to discuss who the finalists will be the winners of the race.

The committee provides lunch for participants and invited guests.

MC invited the participants and invited guests to enjoy the dishes provided by the committee and accompanied by music from famous bands.

The istrahat event took place in an orderly manner.Perlahan Fandi approached Syifa who had finished eating his lunch.

"Assalvallery...Syifa" said Fandi awkwardly.She saw Syifa was focusing on her phone.

Syifa looked up her head

"Waalaikum salam waarahmatullahi wabarakatuh...Sahut Syifa then returned to his gaze.

"eek..Fandi.don't expect us to meet here"Syifa said staring at Fandi.

"Yes...Syifa, how are you??turns out you went to college after marriage".

"Thank God, my husband told me to close my school"

"Mmm... Where are you staying here??"ask Fandi.

"I'm staying at a friend's house"Shifa's answer was brief.

"Hhffft..turns out you never change from the old days.I think you can already warm up with others, but it turns out it's getting colder" murmured Fandi while heading to his seat.

Syifa just nodded quietly without even bothering Fandi.

An hour of time has passed.

MC took over the event again.As scheduled, that now is the announcement of the winner of the race.

The winning sequence began from the third rank.Rank three was achieved by students from one of the universities in Jogjakarta.Rank two was achieved by the envoy from the University in Jakarta, namely Fandi.Syifa looked at Fandi at a glance,then smiled and nodded as if congratulating Fandi, who happened to be staring at Syifa as well.

What remains is a rank one that has not been announced.MC deliberately stall time to announce it so that all who are in the room feel curious including Syifa.In Syifa heart already feel that he did not win, Syifa already felt that he did not win,because rank 3 and 2 already got their position, to get the position of rank one, to get the position,Syifa felt very unlikely because all the finalists performed amazingly all at the time of delivering their respective scientific work..

"Ehhmm.it is time we listen to who the winner who gets the first rank.And it turns out the winner is......!!!!Suddenly the room became quiet.

"Nursyifa...from the University in the city T...!!!".The MC chuckled with excitement and was greeted by applause by everyone in the room.

Fandi was very amazed to hear the name Syifa mentioned by the MC.She stood up and immediately looked towards Syifa.Sedang Syifa who had not realized that his name was mentioned by the MC,just clapping slowly followed the person in the room.

"To the three winners we invite to take the stage" cried MC with enthusiasm again.

Fandi and the students from Jogjakata stood up and walked towards the stage.
