When Dusk Passes

When Dusk Passes
Semester Exam



That afternoon was very hot, Lira and Yunia decided to sit under the old Kedondong tree, the tree was towering, had roots that spread in all directions, and the tree was very tall, so it is not uncommon to make students fall tripping there.


Whether it had been how long the tree had stood upright spreading its lush twigs and leaves, sometimes looking like a monstrous silhouette, perhaps before the Lira appeared in the world, the tree already existed.


If the fruiting season arrives, students who are bored with their activities, busy pelting the fruit, pinning it on the door and then eating like ravenous monkeys hahaaaa.


Yunia was busy flipping back the paper she was holding, reading and occasionally nodding her own nods. The semester exam is less than a week away, all students are busy respectively, because after the semester exam there is no term off for nursing students, they will undergo internship practice at the Hospital, the real meets with patients, takes care of them and carries out nursing care on their own.


Usually a week before the exam, the lira makes a list of materials that she must memorize and study, notes them in a notebook and ticks them if they are finished.


That's how the lira, in every semester he should not berleha-leha, he must get a scholarship that is intended for students who enter the top 40.


Scholarships with a 50% semester cut%. And Alhamdulillah Lira and Yunia always together occupy the top position in the student list.


The next course starts at 3 pm, there is still 2 hours left, many other friends have left campus, some are home, hanging out in the boarding house, and many others are, or reinforcements somewhere, Lira and Yunia do not have a motorbike like the others, eventually they both sleep in the campus mosque.


Sometimes if they are bored they go to Meta boarding which is about 300 meters from campus, but since Meta is dating with Kak-tur-level, they rarely go to Meta boarding again. Because already several times Yunia and Lira caught Meta who was alone in the room.


While sleeping in a corner of the mushola, Lira opened her phone, apparently there was a message from Azka.


" Ra, where?" ask Azka.


Lira types a reply message for Azka.


" again in mushola, what's up?" ask Lira.


" Would you like to go home? will enter again is still a long time, klo want to be with me to wait in front." replied Azka.


" I just slept here, there's Yunia too."


Reply Lira while yawning.


Lira's message was not answered again by Azka, he knew Lira rarely wanted to be invited boncery, if not because the girl's kepepet did not have the cost of the motorcycle to return, he knew, the boy immediately starts his motorbike and drives away from campus, while Lira and Yunia fall asleep at the mosque.


...


Finally the Test arrived


There are several courses that are tested, making each student look like a living zombie, this exam determines they can continue or not to carry out internship practices at the Hospital, and the, so if there is one course that does not graduate, it is enough to frustrate students.


During the exam season like this, the corridor is full of students, under the trees they are engrossed with laptops and books respectively. The lira chose to perch in the corner of the library, in addition to its comfortable place, also somewhat further away from the noise.


Azka who saw Lira sitting alone in the corner of the perpus, immediately approached the girl.


Azka took a sitting position beside Lira, occasionally glancing at the girl who was engrossed with her book.


Suddenly Lira nyeletuk.


" There's no money?" ask Lira while closing the book.


" How many?" answer Azka.


" just 20 thousand, make the photocopying pay to budi, insyaAllah when the father came home from the garden I paid" replied Lira.


Azka took twenty thousand bills from her wallet and gave them to Lira.


" Don't be reversed, I just got a transfer from my brother." Azka said with a smile.


" Don't do that, the debt is still debt, tomorrow it's with my father, I'll return it." Said Lira.


Lira was never embarrassed if in front of Azka, all about the life of Lira was almost known by Azka.
