What's Up With Street Kids
The Juang Throne Adipura
Usually I will spend time in the classroom after the lecture is over, whether it's to repeat the material that has just been learned, make the task that has been given, or not, or just asking for an explanation from my classmates who understand more about material that I do not understand. But today I immediately left the room when the lecture was over. The atmosphere of the campus is currently busy. This is indeed due to the approaching lunch hour so that students hunt each other for lunch that they can get in their own faculty cafeteria or neighboring faculty.
The Faculty of Exact and Theological Sciences is adjacent to the Student Organization Building, the Faculty of Engineering, and the Student Sports Arena. This is what makes the Faculty of Exact and Theological Sciences is one of the busiest faculties on this campus.
I waited at the proper faculty stop in front of the dean building, as the main building of the faculty. This stop is used to wait for a campus bus that usually always goes around to help transport students who do not have a vehicle like me. Here there are enough students waiting for the bus, all students are students of the Faculty of Exact and Theological Sciences. It can be seen from the look on their faces, because usually students in this faculty have a rather heavy look, in the sense that the word face always describes the burden of heavy duty brought home. I grabbed the phone from inside the bag and immediately opened the contact menu. Bang Aksa, immediately I made a call to contact with the name while pressing the calling button listed on the bottom right corner of the phone that has not even been in this year.
“Halo, Bang! Lo where is it? I've done this in class, make us lunch together?” my sergeant was immediately appointed by Bang Aksa.
“Iya. Hola! I'm still in the office. Entar again also. You want to be picked up or we meet directly there?” the question that seemed ready from earlier to offer to pick me up everything.
“Yaudah you pick up, Bang. I'm waiting at the faculty!” Without a second thought take advantage of the good offers from the men closest to me in this world.
“Iya in half an hour I reached the campus lo,” he replied ending the call.
Half an hour is a long time. I can't wait at the stop for that long. Looks like I'm gonna have to leave the stop and find another escape. Lunch hours will definitely cause the canteen to be full of starving students, if only for meals of course it will not be troublesome, but the canteen today is not just a place to eat, but a place to eat, but also as a place to do assignments, discussions, meetings, play chess, play dominoes or other card games, what else is the cafeteria also equipped with Wifi facilities, it is clear that this canteen will be a place for students at empty hours. All of these things make the canteen not a good place to wait for the invitation of Bang Aksa.
I went straight through the faculty lobby to find a suitable place to spend thirty minutes waiting. The faculty which is one of the biggest contributors to the campus fund is organized with a circular arrangement of buildings with the dean building in the middle of the front, followed by the laboratory building on the right, the student building on the left, the student building on the left, and at the back, precisely between the student building and the auditorium in a row three lecture buildings, right in the middle of the series of buildings here there is a park that is quite large and very beautiful, the, it is not wrong to be a student at this faculty will require considerable costs. Among all the buildings that are here, it seems like a suitable place for me to spend thirty minutes waiting for Bang Aksa is a park located in the middle of the faculty complex.
Science Garden, that is written on the gate that stands firmly right in front of the back door of the dean building. In this park usually students do assignments, discussions, meetings or just spend free time, other options besides the canteen of course. This happens when the situation in the cafeteria is quite crowded and no longer meets the standards of comfort of people like me one of them, one of them, because with the condition of such a canteen there are also students who choose the canteen as a shelter. I myself prefer in the park because it is quite quiet even though it is rather hot because not all parts of this park are protected from the lush trees that grow around the park, he said, in addition, in the middle of the park there is also a kind of stage or pendopo that is quite large with an area of 200 meters in the shape of a quadrangle with each corner embedded a large tree. This stage or pendopo is also often used by students for outdoor activities.
“Harum ...” someone called me from the front of the student building.
I looked closely at who exactly was calling. A man in a blue shirt and a black backpack was next to him, complete with black cotton pants and matching colored sneakers with the shirt he wore.
The Juang Throne of Adipura. A student from the department of Biomolecular, one of the majors in the Faculty of Exact and Theological Sciences. Here in addition to Mathematics, there are six other majors, including biomolecular, chemistry, physics, biology, astronomy, and actuarial. Especially biomolecular is usually filled by students who are mostly male, Juang is one of the students.
“Lo where to go?” asked Juang a moment after he arrived right in front of me.
“Not yet, anyway. Plan to go to the pendopo, because I have to wait for Bang Aksa to pick up,” I replied casually.
“Wah, Tumben Bang Aksa would like to pick you up. Why don't I just take it?” tanya Juang is familiar because she herself has often played at my house.
I met with Juang at the beginning of last semester, right at the implementation of the faculty-level new student orientation. Juang is one of the orientation participants who often perform on stage, the type of person who is ridiculous in my opinion because he when talking is always blunt, impressed to speak without thinking. But if it is noticed and seen how he communicates with bluntness it looks and feels that every silly thing he conveys has its own meaning or message that is very helpful in a condition, which is very helpful, he is too smart to communicate so that the things he conveys are able to be communicated properly as he wants.
“Iya, because this afternoon I want to have lunch with Bang Aksa, all of you want to buy too,” I replied while continuing my footsteps to the pendopo.
“Yes, the plan I want to ngajakin loh actually,” grumbled Juang while putting on a disappointed look.
I turned to face Juang while putting on a confused face made up look.
“Where do you want to make me go? Not that you are busy with project offers that you are working on?” I asked with a sarcastic smile, because it was still upset with the decision he took.
“Udah dong do not discuss anymore, I am not going anywhere, still with you guys too,” he replied with guilt that looks deliberately shown to me.
“Yes, you're still with the kids too, but who knows. What else projects you take directly from the agency, there is a career opportunity loh, while in our place this is only an own project that is run free and voluntary.” Regret having served him talk, what else about the fuss over the past few days. My frustration grew because she was still unaware of the fear that caused us all to be upset by her choice. Immediately I left him who still showed a guilty face and continued walking towards the pendopo.
“Judah! Ayok I temenin you wait Bang Aksa,” replied Juang aligning his footsteps to be able to walk right beside me.
I didn't care about his response to my frustration.
The condition of this afternoon pendopo is not too crowded by students. Pendopo with four stairs on each side, there is also a bench of ceramics circling each tree that grows in the corners of this pendopo. The bench is my favorite place, the lush trees will give shade and the wind that blows often produces a soft touch on my skin, what else if it starts autumn, what else, watching the dry leaves come off the twigs and fall bobbing by the wind is very soothing, especially from the tasks and demands of activities that stifle the chest.
“A very suitable place to spend time waiting,” I thought.
Immediately after making sure that the bench I was about to sit on was clean, the bag on my back landed on the bench. A moment later the back that has begun to get tired docked at the back of the chair, following the buttocks that collide with the bench.
“Lo don't want to try the list so the set manager or BEM is it?” juang asked casually as he sat down, only he sat beside the pendopo pole so that our current position was facing.
“Not yet ,nih. It was offered, anyway, same senior majors,” replied me while reopening the lecture notes this morning.
“Wait for what else? Register, if there is already an offer like that, you will definitely graduate to be a manager,” Jayu Juang excitedly. Somehow he once offered me a hobby of various activities and activities. The first is the activities of Dies Natalis University committee, the second is the activities of Bina Desa, in both I was always interested and finally instigated persuasion, he said, it could be that this third invitation also became something of interest as well and I received offers from the seniors and the Juang themselves.
“Gue thought about it first, while sorting through my busyness. My own aim is too late if until the collision here and there,” I replied while imagining the busyness that I will live later. I'm not afraid of being busy, it's my lifestyle. Even since school I was active in almost all extracurriculars and also as an OSIS administrator, I said to think only because of my frustration with Juang.
The spirit of Juang became passionate when I said to think about it first. This is like giving gasoline in a fire, so that the fire that had begun to extinguish again enlarges to burn around it. My frustration that initially made me determined to ignore Juang, instead became the opposite I fell into conversation and consumed his seduction. Of course this is a step from Juang to find his companionship, because it is certain that Juang has registered in one of the prestigious organizations on this campus.
“Lo is definitely a list right?” ask me directly so she can stop seducing me aggressively.
“Wah, great actually you can nebak,” said Juang with a shy style that sucks.
“No need of black magic or sixth sense for that nebak. An Adipura Throne Juang would not be likely to miss the opportunity for a career in the campus organization,” I replied excitedly because this time we took turns aggressively flirting.
“Hahaha you can. Just said you were already wriggling me out of the student building right?” asked Juang with a sneering tone, although it was seen from the look of his face and body response that stated he was embarrassed.
Thankful my phone immediately rang when the conversation had begun to be mastered by Juang.
Soon I picked up the phone that was stored in the bag. ‘Bang Aksa’, the phone screen shows the name that caused my phone to ring that.
I coded Juang with my palm raised and faced towards him while shaking the phone as a sign that someone was on the phone. Juang nodded obediently and delayed the conversation.
It turned out that Bang Aksa was already waiting in front of the faculty. Lucky that I could immediately avoid Juang because the longer I chatted with him the more kind I would be to him. Surely this should not happen given the frustration I should have shown Juang.
“Thank you very much Juang already nemenin me. Bang Aksa was waiting in front of the faculty. I first pull out well,” I said farewell to Juang while getting up and walking away from the park.
“Yaudah do not forget my offer and message earlier, if you need anything news aja I,” he replied while walking to line my footsteps.
I only replied with a smile and a wink as I continued to step towards the front of the faculty.
“Titip greetings Bang Aksa yes, say I miss chatting together again,” said Juang while walking apart because he seemed to return to the Student Building.
In front of the faculty I saw a parked car with a middle-aged man standing leaning against his car while busy playing his cell phone.
“Bang Aksa!” my broom half-run towards his car.
“Yaudah ayok road, I was already hot waiting lo nih” said my brother immediately opened the car door.
“Whose car do you bring?” ask me after getting into the car and pay attention to the overall contents. This red black car feels very elegant to drive.
“Mobil my office, I pinjem specially for my adek,” replied Bang Aksa while teasing.
“Ah lo can aja basic brother alay,” I said because of shame.
“Emang lo where was it? I think nyampe at the faculty lo immediately appeared, uh do not know it I must be hot waiting you first,” complained my brother while sneering.
“Iya. Anyway, I might not wait here. Why am I alone for half an hour,” I answered tightly because Bang Aksa was still arguing about it.
“Iya is not what, because I am also ngajakin lo right?” replied my brother while ruffling his hair. The things he's done since I was a kid.
