"Hello Assalamualaikum Ma'am.."
"Waalaikumussalam warahmatullah wabarokatuh.. Alyaa... Piye nduk's ? Opo wes teapot ?"
(Where are you ? have you arrived ?)
"Wesss Ma'am.twelas hour Alya press kosan"
(Already Ma'am. Eleven hours Alya to kosan)
"Alhamdulillah ya Gusti. sing slick yo nduk neng kono"
(Alhamdulillah, O Allah, be well there).
"enggeh Bu. wes yo Bu, Alya arep reresik sek, sisuk wes ospek. iki reresik durung bu ruwet kabeh"
(iya Ma.. already yes ma'am, Alya wants to clean first, tomorrow Alya already have to ospek. This clean-up is not finished Bu is still a mess all).
"enggeh nduk. tetep contact karo mother, Ojo lali, wassalamualaikum"
(yes son. Contact mom continue yes, don't forget.. Wassalamualaikum)
"enggeh Ma'am. waalaikumussalam"
(yes Ma'am. waalaikumussalam)
Tut's.. Tut's.. Tut. the voice of the phone call ends.
Without a break Alya just straight tidied up his goods, preparing clothes and supplies for ospek tomorrow.
"Hmm. living alone seems not good yes, quiet.no chatting, do I look for a cement to spend time together, who knows who would want, is quite the cost can be divided, is I find a temen, the burden of the father's mother also became divided" murmured Alya while lying down because of fatigue
*****
THE NEXT DAY..
"Allahuacbar.. Allahuahgbar.."
The dawn of Azan reverberated, indicating that the time of prayer has arrived. Alya woke up from her sleep and immediately rushed to take a bath and prayed. Alya did not forget to eat breakfast that morning after all his energy was exhausted to clean up yesterday's boarding house. A pack of bread and a box of leftover milk from yesterday's trip helped Alya prop up her stomach.

Dikampus...
"Subhanallah was so crowded, how could I see my name" Alya grumbled at the crowd in front of the notice board.
*duukk..
"Aawww.." cried Alya in pain
"Astaghfirullah sorry-sorry I did not accidentally" said a man as he rushed away
After fighting hard in the crowd, Alya finally found out that he was in the group of 18. Without thinking long Alya immediately fulfilled the instructions of the ospek leader to join his group.
"Hello sisters, have everything gathered" asked one of the accompanying brothers to group 18.
"Sister" answered group 18 simultaneously
"Well, before starting activities, it's good we get to know each other first.you certainly come from different majors and even faculties"
One by one the new students introduced themselves......
"Assalamualaikum everyone.Introduction of my name Muhammad Kaffa Adzikra, friends can all call me by the call of Kaffa. I am from the Prodi of the Islamic Broadcasting Commission of the Faculty of Da'wah. Thanks"
It was Alya's turn..
"Assalamualaikum friends all. Introduce me Alya Mukhbita from Physics Education Program Faculty of Teacher Training"
"soh the woman." said Kaffa in his heart while remembering the incident
Due to Kaffa's very active contribution to the group as well as his speaking prowess, Kaffa was chosen to be the group's chairman by his older brother and was given the task of creating a group board for the second day of tomorrow.
.
"Friends all.we will gather again after the Dzuhur Prayer yes, requested its availability for our group in this ospek. Thank you" Kaffa said to all members of his group
1 Hour later
"I personally have a plan, what if we make it like ................................... means we have to prepare ..................... later the final form ............. well to realize that I need the cooperation of all of you" said Kaffa explained everything.
"MaaShaaAllah once this man, very good at leading, ehh astaghfirullah. astaghfirullah satan" Alya's inner turmoil because of his admiration for Kaffa.
"I'm sorry.What was your name ?"
" Halloo.." asked Kaffa to Alya who was dumbstruck
"Ohh yes.. Alya, call me Alya" Alya replied nervously
"Ok Alya, you please help me scissor all these skeletons huh"
"Good"
Seeing Alya who was so diligent and painstaking after getting an order from him, Kaffa was slightly amazed at the simple plain girl.
"Alya, is there a constraint ?" ask Kaffa for pleasantries
"Ohh no"
"It's not wrong that you were from the Physics Education Program, right ? how can you think of physics ?" kaffa asked while paying attention to Alya's actual appearance according to him is not suitable for being in physics study
"Hhmm, that's what my parents wanted. I just run it. Actually, if asked to choose, I better choose Arabic or Islamic religious education"
"Yes, I think so too. Look at you like you're a graduate of the boarding school"
Alya nodded small..
"When I choose a major according to my background, I will just continue to be in my comfort zone. In my village there are already many like that, so I choose the one that does not exist so that my contribution to education in the village will be greater, he said, so my parents suggested it even though I didn't think I was capable of it before"
Kaffa was stunned to hear Alya's so serious yet sincere reply. His goal is noble but he needs encouragement to get through it all.
On the first day of the ospek, Alya made so many friends. His humble and cheerful attitude made everyone happy to be friends with him. Alya also never count when getting a task even though his other friend just relax.
Because the ospek was also Alya got 1 new boarding friend. Faradina Amalia, Fara's calling. Sweet black girl from biology prodi. Coincidentally Fara is indeed looking for boarding because for the time being he still lives in his sister's house. Because of its remote location and Fara did not want to trouble her brother, she decided to spend time with Alya.
The ospek activity lasted for 1 week. Kaffa and Alya who are increasingly familiar continue the friendship even though they are different prodi. Alya who lived too long in the pesantren like being in another world when entering this lecture level.
His life was different because of the presence of Kaffa. Alya, who had no male friends before, now has Kaffa. The first man he met and the first man to speak. kaffa's proficiency in speech and the science of religion that Kaffa had was able to balance their chatter and bring comfort in Alya's heart.
