*****
One day before the final election of the princess campus. The committee held a clean rehearsal and technical meeting for the participants. Participants were given instructions for stage blocking. They are taught to pose, catwalk, and good public speaking.
During the technical meeting, participants were told that those who later entered the seventh major would do a speech or speech with a theme that has been determined by the committee. There are three designated speech themes. The three themes were presented to the participants during the technical meeting. But later on stage they will do a speech with a random theme. So if they want to be fluent while talking they have to learn those three themes.
The technical meeting was finished, the participants came out of the hall room. Sindi is the only one of the Miss Gang to qualify as a finalist. He did not expect that Nanda would be chosen as a finalist as well. Initially Sindi protested because Nanda was an S2 student. But with Nanda's cleverness, he could break the protests of Sindi.
"Why can she join the campus princess anyway?" ria asked as Sindi walked out of the hall.
"Sin, he's a tough opponent. S2 female student looks pinter" Jeje continued.
"You two instead of supporting me, even more dizzy" Sindi snapped.
"Yes that doesn't mean that. But we have to be careful" said Ria.
"Tell Ria, Sin" Jeje continued.
"Just look for a way for Nanda to fail at tomorrow's final" Sindi said with a sly look.
The two friends also nodded to Sindi's words and both showed a grinning smile.
Nanda invites Zahra and Almira to the boutique to pick up the dress she will wear tomorrow at the final event. On the way to the parking lot, the three of them were poking around with Dafa.
"Where are you going?" rebuke Dafa.
"We're going to ma'am..."
"You're buying a book!" sela Nanda nudged Zahra's arm with her elbow and gave a sharp glint so Zahra wouldn't tell her the truth.
Dafa looked at Nanda who sounded like a judge when he said that then he said, "What book?" continued Dafa.
"Novel Brother. Coincidentally yesterday Almira got a good novel recommendation from a classmate. So we want to buy that" between Almira with a plain face. He supports Nanda.
"Zahra, don't come home too late!" dafa said giving a warning.
"Yes, dear Mr. Dafa Atma Jaya" Nanda replied in a super-shakeful and satirical tone.
Dafa only glanced at Nanda at a glance and left the three girls behind.
"You have a problem what the hell is it with my brother? I think the arch-enemy is very strong" said Zahra confused.
"Your brother is the most beautiful human being in the world. Wanna?" Nanda firmly.
"Don't hate too much. Later become love loh" seduced Zahra while playing both eyebrows.
"Why love the iceberg like that" ketus Nanda then mengengos go ahead of his two friends.

The three of them reached the store. They met with the boutique owner.
"Hai Nanda" said Siska, the owner of the boutique and one of Isyana's friends.
"Hi aunt" replied Nanda so friendly.
"Yes aunt. Is it already?" ask Zahra.
"Udah dong" said Siska.
Siska called one of her employees. She told her employees to bring Nanda's dress. Before long the employee carried a bag wrapped in a black dress.
The employee unzipped the wrapping bag and showed a shiny, satin-red dress.
"Wow that's so nice in her dress, Tan" praised Zahra with unblinking eyes.
"Nice clothes are not clothes that aunty made. But your design is good" praise Siska stroking Zahra's face.
Nanda smiled as she glanced at Zahra and said, "She is a gifted aunt" Nanda said.
"Sister Zahra is the best" said Almira so excited.
"Zahra, if you've graduated, go straight to the aunt's boutique. Don't go to another boutique. Aunty likes all your designs. How's it?" persuade Siska with a pleading gaze.
Zahra was surprised because she had not graduated from college and had a job offer. Especially in one of the famous boutiques. Without waiting for long Zahra agreed to Siska's request.
After all was done, the three of them left the boutique with the dress they ordered. They also prepared some other preparations.
"I'm stubborn" said Nanda while driving the car.
"Why Brother?" ask Almira.
"I'm afraid to make mistakes in the final tomorrow" Nanda said.
"You don't over think first dong. Today has not passed. You are worried about tomorrow. Nanda spirit" Zahra said.
"My friends are so good" said Nanda.
*****
Atma Jaya's family is having dinner together. Zahra had already returned home before the magrib. He was not asked anything by Dafa.
"Daf, tomorrow there's a campus princess election, right?" ask Herdian on the sidelines to eat it.
"Yes, Yang" replied Dafa.
"Want to watch?" sela Zahra's.
"Hungry watching? Later can-can klepek klepek-clepek see the beautiful sorority-beautiful" curled Herdian with the sound of typical ruckus grandfather-grandfather.
Zahra laughed when she heard her grandfather. Ever since Nanda, Herdian has been joking. And his young soul grew again because it was often poisoned by modern barbau things by Isyana's youngest child.
"Hangkung, get old!" sela Dafa's.
"You're the one who's kidding really can't? You're a big span of his life" taunted Herdian as he turned his lips.
"I happen to be asked by the rector to be part of the jury" Dafa said.
Zahra who was chewing food immediately choked. He also drank water.
"Eating is relaxing, Zah" said Dafa.
Zahra swallowed her saliva with great difficulty. If Dafa becomes a judge, he will automatically know if Nanda is participating in the election of the campus princess.
"Congratulations sister" Zahra said with a smile.
Nanda show your charms tomorrow. And make Kak Dafa like you, inner Zahra.
