The Love of Village Girl

Section 4

The night is getting late, but the meeting has not also signaled it is over soon. Sinta and Diah are still focused on following the meeting agenda. It will then be determined who is the chairman of the recreation committee. There are three candidates. Jaya, Tono and Dirjo. Each participant is determined to do this. The hustle and bustle lobbying conducted by Tono and colleagues did not produce results, so it was decided to vote. A decision that should actually be avoided because it prioritizes deliberation to reach consensus.

The voting mechanism by writing the name on a prepared piece of paper. Participants only write one of the three candidates that have been agreed. It's a simple decision-making.

“Pieces of paper please share.” said Jaya.

“All must be able yes !” shouted again.

Then get busy all dividing up small pieces of paper. Paper to be used for voting.

“There are three candidates here. Jaya, Tono and Dirjo. The number present here is 31 people.”

“How to vote sis ?” ask one of the girls from the right corner.

“Write one of the names of the three names submitted. Later who gets the most votes, that will be the chairman.” said Jaya explained.

“Immediately write the name of the candidate chairman on the paper !”

The atmosphere became quiet. Each is busy determining who will be the chairman of the committee.

Same with Sinta and Diah. Both have again to consider who will be elected on this vote.

“Choose Sin ?” ask Diah whispered.

“Terupon you Yah.” replied Sinta.

“Tono only yes ? “ suggestions Diah.

For a moment Sinta was silent.

“Dirjo only. Let it be a stir with you.” replied Sinta immediately.

“Asem.” umpat Diah accompanied by a pinch to the plate Sinta. But Sinta immediately dodged because she knew that was what Diah would do.

After the curse of Diah, they fell silent. Fun with their own choices.

“Come collect ! Group !” jaya shouted while collecting pieces of paper and put in a jar.

“Ayo-ayo over there !” yell out Jaya again.

After all the ballot papers have been collected, it is time to do the calculation of the voting results. Each hoped for his choice to become chairman. Of course with the interests and expectations that are in their expectations.

“Dirjo.” shouted the officer read out the voting results. Cheers from supporters accompanied the vote count.

“Jaya.” name secretary coral cadets itpun called.

“Tono.” turn of cadet coral chairman get voting results.

The vote count is rousing. Low boisterous voices were heard during the pick-up process. Especially if the prospective chairman of their choice is mentioned immediately his supporters cheered to welcome him. That's how it happened during the vote counting process.

Based on the calculation of the vote, the result is balanced. Both Dirjo, Jaya and Tono get the same sound results of 10 people each. There is only one unread voting paper.

“Friends, Dirjo, Tono and I get the same voice. We hope on this one vote. “ Jaya said as she showed the last paper.

“Leave one piece of this sound paper that has not been read.” continued Jaya.

“Open. Unopen. Open.” shouted meeting participants almost simultaneously. The atmosphere of the meeting room in the village hall was getting boisterous.

“Open euy. Do not wear it for long!” yell Diah was very loud and full of spirit.

“What the hell Well. Noisy nih.” reply Sinta.

“Let's fast. Kaya is just dramatized.” sahut Diah.

While from the front Jaya shouted.

“Good friends, We open last sound.”

Slowly Jaya opened the final ballot paper. But he suddenly fell silent. Like a confused person. Plirak-plirik while holding a smile. His eyes looked at Tono, but Tono did not react. So too with Dirjo.

“Read ! Read ! Read !” shouting participants could not stand.

“Come read Jay. Already awaited.” pinta Tono.

“But. “ replied Jaya tried evasive.

“What the hell is it ? Come on Jay, what are you waiting for?” dirjo protest.

“Hei come. Read. Why must it be delayed so ?” shouting participants.

“I will read the one on this sound paper.” Jaya said.

“Come read. Long time very.” one of the participants shouted.

Again Jaya gave the code to calm down. Jaya began to read.

“Writing in this sound paper is ... SINTA I LOVE YOU” shouted Jaya.

“Huuuuuuuu huuuuu “ yell disappointed participants. There are also those who laugh. That crazy person that wrote.

“Uedan it. Who's acting so crazy ?”

“You are nosy Well ?” ask Sinta while harboring shame and suspicion.

“Wei. Don't just accuse Sin. I'm not that selebay. Ha ha.” Diah replied with a laugh.

The voting committee was confused between laughing amusedly and snobbing. They rushed to prove the writing on the sound paper. Tono and Dirjo together read the writing on the sound paper. A moment after reading it their foreheads wrinkled. But then laugh out loud. Seeing Tono laugh, Sinta's lips became manyun. Between tickle and mangkel. “Review if caught the culprit ! No apologies for him.” Inner Sinta.

“Friends. How is this ? Do we want to track who did it ?” jaya half shouted.

“Track ! Track ! Track ! “ shouted as participants.

“Wah, don't do it. Not important. Let it pass.” said some of the other participants.

“We will be meeting until night if you want to track down the culprit.”

“Finely we shall determine its chairman.”

“How to do ?” the other timpal.

“Diundi only. Jaya, Tono and Dirjo. Who was elected directly as chairman.” suggested Lastri.

“Wee. Means in vain dong voting earlier.” chirped the other participants.

“More vain if tonight we do not make any decision. It has been a night of taking time but there is no result.” firmly lastri.

“Ya. It's raffled how friends ?” ask Jaya.

“Agree .. “ replied the meeting participant. Although there are some who grumble. “Ngapain voting earlier. Waste of time.” her inner.

“Good. This is a paper containing the names Jaya, Tono and Dirjo. One will be taken later. The name that comes out will be the chairman of the recreation committee.” said Jaya half-screaming.

“Come Lastri. You take !” jaya continued.

Rushing Pastri picked up a piece of paper that had been put in a jar. Opens slowly. Then read it in a loud voice.

“Dirjo.” shouted Lastri.

“Horeeeee “ cheers Dirjo supporters.

“Life Dirjo.” strangles as others.

After the low boisterous voice of Dirjo supporters subsided, soon Jaya announced something.

“Friends, since the night is a bit late should be meeting tonight today We end. Next We leave it to Dirjo to appoint colleagues who will support his work. “ said Jaya.

“Agujuuuu.” answer them compact.

Sinta and Diah rushed home. But the effort was blocked by someone. Who else if not Dirjo. This morning, the man also insulted Sinta and Diah.

“What the hell is Jo ?” sulk Diah.

“Yah. Come help-be a committee yes !” dirjo Pinta.

“You also yes Sin !” pinta Dirjo next.

Sinta who from the beginning did not like Dirjo and rejected him.

“Ndak-ndak. I have a lot to take care of. Diahh if you want.” reject Sinta while glancing at Diah. Apparently Diah is also lazy to be a committee team with Dirjo.

“Ndak Jo's. The others only. I have to help Mom and Dad. Ndak had time.” reject Diah too. Means on the vote was definitely not Dirjo who was Diah's choice.

Dirjo was disappointed. Hope to get close to Sinta dashed instantly. Knowing that, Sinta hurriedly brought Diah home. Trying to avoid Dirjo immediately. However, he was with Dirjo and also with Tono.

Without saying goodbye to Dirjo, the two girls rushed to leave the village hall. They want to immediately remove the existing stiffness. Especially with Sinta, he did not want to talk to Dirjo. Hope to be able to chat and be close to Tono. But all of that didn't materialize. When cycling home they were silent. The gap between happy and disappointed mixed into one. Drowning in their lost hope.
