After attending today's course which ends at 16.00WIB, our new students majoring in law are asked to gather at the campus Hall to listen to the announcement of the student's service camp to the summit area.

"Shella... I noticed that since entering earlier your face looks moody, you actually why?" ask Karina.

"i'm not why Rin, just not feeling well anymore" I replied.

"if you are sick say dong, you should now rest first at my boarding house" added Karina.

Then one of the seniors named Kak Ajeng as the head of the service camp activity, suddenly shouted towards us

"Hey sister who is both behind, did sister hear my direction? I'm talking here, you're both busy talking in the back" cried Ajeng.

"Sorry brother" we answered.

My head was starting to feel so dizzy, my thoughts were currently feeling so chaotic. While Ajeng's brother still burdened and automatically all the students in the Hall were staring at the two of us. My eyes began to blur and

BRUUUUKK !!

My body felt so weak helpless, I sayup heard Karina calling my name, but my mouth seemed to be silenced unable to say anymore.

Upon realising I found myself at Karina's boarding house.

"Shella's... Thank goodness you were conscious "said Karina.

"why am I here Rin?" my many.

"you suddenly fainted, so my senior brother and I brought you here" Karina said.

"you just rest Shel, wait for your condition to improve" Karina added while giving me a glass of warm tea.

"this is a picture of your parents Rin?" ask my new best friend while taking the photo.

"iya Shel, that's a picture of my parents. If I miss, sometimes we video call, I always look at the photo before going to bed" said Karina who was compiling some books on the study table.

"Fortunately you Rin, there are still parents who encourage you"

"iya Shel, but not as lucky as you shella, who has old parents, plus living in a luxury apartment"

"they're not my parents Rin" I said, looking down, I remembered the letter my mother had written.

"not your parents? mean you? anyway, I don't understand"

"iya bu Tari and Mr. Tama are not my biological parents. I lived there originally because...." then I told her how the chronology of what happened when I lost my parents and my younger brother didn't belong to my family until I fought on my own and got a scholarship, problems and people who had helped me when I was in trouble to get to Jakarta and invited to live in apartment bu Tari.

"i was very eager to meet my two biological parents Rin, I used to think that by getting a scholarship to Jakarta, I could find and meet them. But it turns out..the result is nil.." I said, without me realizing the tears had fallen down this cheek.

"patient Shella, even though you have to be grateful there are still many good people around you" said Karina moved from her seat and hugged me.

"thank you Karina"

"yes together Shella, hmm.. how about tomorrow we find your parents together?" karina's.

"Well Rin. I'm sorry I got to bother you"

"it's normal that's Shella, we have to help each other" Karina added.
