THE UNIVERSE
Ketum Egoist
The clock on Alia's phone screen has shown two noon less than five minutes. Instead of having to return to the rubble, Alia took the initiative to shower, change clothes, and prepare before Fauzan came to pick her up.
At 14:35 Fauzan has arrived in front of the Alia boarding house, they immediately leave for Baznas city. It should be half an hour again all government offices like this have closed working hours, he said, fortunately, Fauzan and Baznas agreed to meet outside office hours.
Now Alia with Fauzan walking towards the canteen Baznas city, it turns out Fauzan with the relevant parties have determined the place to meet. They sat at one of the cafeteria tables. And before long, a middle-aged man approached them.
"Good day, Fauzan from HMJ Tafsir Hadith right?" ask the man.
"Siang sir, yes I am Fauzan. And this is my secretary, Alia" Fauzan replied, introducing Alia and shaking the man's hand.
"I am Salim, representative of Baznas. Please sit down first" said Mr. Salim while shaking hands with Alia.
Fauzan, Alia, and Pak Salim immediately discussed the agenda of the event to be held by HMJ Tafsir Hadith in the next two weeks. The event was about ospek majors as well as tasyakuran by supporting orphans. Since next week there are ospek from the campus, Fauzan does not want to waste time in vain if waiting for osjur too long. Fortunately, the concept is almost 80%
Mr. Salim agreed to provide assistance funds to HMJ Tafsir Hadith. Fauzan and Alia smiled happily. Finally their first proposal got a goal that was very unexpected. Fauzan and Alia immediately said goodbye, remembering that there would be a meeting with Faqih.
"Tum, I want a meeting with Tum Faqih. Wanna come with me?" alia asked as Fauzan lowered her in front of their campus gate.
"Not Al, I have to teach abis maghrib. I think if you join a meeting, until it will not be finished this mah" replied Fauzan.
"Yes, I went inside first. Thank you for going to campus, be careful on Tum Street" Alia said, waving her hand.
"Yoye, you're careful too. If Faqih says yes!" said Fauzan while advancing his motorbike. And Alia just nodded in response to Fauzan's words.
Now Alia again walked down the corridor of her faculty. A row of lifts on his phone showed at 17:20. Alia tried to find the room meant by Faqih when before arriving at the campus, Faqih had already sent a chat to Alia.
This afternoon PMII - the external organization of the campus that followed Alia-is holding a committee meeting. In PMII if Alia and Faqih served in Rayon commensurate with the faculty because it houses a minimum of two or three majors at once. Rayon (Faculty) Ushuluddin consists of the department of Tafsir Hadith and Aqidah of Islamic Philosophy. As for the commissariat commisariate equivalent to a campus that houses several faculties.
Alia Campus is only a state campus in Jakarta, Sekolah Tinggi Agama Islam Negeri which has six faculties. Among them Ushuluddin, Adab and Humanities, Da'wah, Sharia, Tarbiyah, and finally Business and Islamic Economics. In total there are about twelve majors on that campus.
Alia stopped her steps when she was in front of the door of the room referred to by Faqih, slowly Alia ventured to open the door.
"Assalamualaikum.." Alia said, she was afraid to disturb Endang —chair commissariat— who was explaining something in front of the rayon officials.
"Waalaikumsalam, enter Bu Kopri Ushuluddin. Sitting beside his ketum let it be good to discuss yes" Endang replied while pointing to the place where Faqih had sat next to an empty chair.
Faqih had patted the empty chair, hoping that Alia would sit next to him immediately.
"Ketum Ushuluddin couldan yes ask memenin to coffee not sekumnya" ledek sharia rayon chairman, Ilham
"Yes dong, as long as the coffee is done by the mah take it" Faqih said.
Alia was instantly furious in her heart, her eyes staring intently at Faqih who was beside her.
"Don't be mad, I'm joking Al. Pipit was no longer able to because it had to be a meeting with the campus ambassador" said Faqih who understood that Alia was holding back her anger.
Alia from the beginning did not like if mocked by others. Especially about the feelings or about who is the man who is close to him. And Faqih also understood how unhappy Alia was with Ilham who often mocked Alia without thinking about what kind of feelings Alia. Since then Faqih has promised to protect Alia from the jokes that disturbed Alia's heart.
Alia let out her breath violently, Faqih had warned Ilham not to mock Alia anymore. Alia is calm now.
"Now we take the number of the new student cadet! Who wants first?" ask Endang.
"Both?"
"Dakwah Tum" said Aldi —Chairman Rayon Dakwah—
"Third?"
"Sharia deh Tum" said Ilham
"Fourth?"
"Adab Tum" said Dewi —Chairman Rayon Adab—
"Fifth?"
"Tum Economy" says Ghiyas —Rayon Chairman Ekonomi—
"That's the last Ushuluddin?" ask Endang to Faqih
"Yes, Ushuluddin mah selow Tum" Faqih said casually.
"Al, but Adab will ask Ushuluddin for help!" chirps Goddess. Dewi is also Alia's best friend in PMII. Dewi different majors with Alia, Dewi chose the major of Arabic Language and Literature.
"Oh okay, just say it to Tum Faqih" said Alia while looking at Faqih.
"As long as you can arrange it, I agree to Al" Faqih said, nodding.
Aiisshh!! Who is the chairman exactly? Alia grumbled in her heart.
This time the meeting went smoothly, just stay in coordination with each manager. There was only Alia and Faqih left. Adhan maghrib has been reverberating, fortunately the ashar prayer has been implemented by Alia while still in Baznas with Fauzan.
"Al.." said Faqih breaking the silence between them.
"What else is Tum?" ask Alia
"You pray in the mosque next to my boarding house, let you go directly to my boarding house and we meet with the children" said Faqih again
"Why does Tum like to be alone? Children are also males times if authoritarian so you. Don't mistake me if the kids are more like me!" Alia began to get emotional because of Faqih's attitude.
Faqih is a chairman who is sometimes selfish, lazy to organize and nurture his members but he always wants to be an advisor in taking steps. As if I felt like the person I needed the most.
Rayon members are sometimes lazy to argue, and instead ask for help Alia to be the handler for Faqih's approval without having to argue first. Alia also feels tired sometimes, how not?
For almost half a period, Faqih casually asked Alia to turn on the suspended Rayon Ushuluddin without ever helping him in the least. And regarding taking care of the members, everything was arranged by Alia.
"Sorry Al, you are indeed the best Ms. Kopri. For that I also want to participate in the cadre of this new member. Help me Al.." - Lirih Faqih.
