Zia's Love Story
Chapter 5 Training (2)
It is still clear that I have a debate with Widya. I know Widya's giving up on an important reason. But yes, his attitude is the same as mine. For no apparent reason as my weapon, it was finally me who had to depart.
The training is an invitation for private campuses in the kopertis region of seven East Java. Kopertis itself has a Private Higher Education Coordination extension.* The invitation is an invitation that has been scheduled by the regional kopertis of seven East Java.
Based on the invitation requirements, active students on campus should be participants. Active here means that he participated in campus activities in the form of SMEs.
The flashback
At that time we were semester one, the beginning of the lecture. Widya and I were best friends, plus Nurul and Ika. Nurul suits us, and Ika has been friends with Widya for a long time. Be us four friends who are always together everywhere. Whether in the library, in the cafeteria, in class or sometimes discussing when participating in SMEs together.
Oiya sorry forgetfulness, for those who do not know SMEs, it stands for Student Activity Unit. It is similar to the extracurricular or exculular activities of SMA. If in High School there is OSIS (Intra School Student Organization) then on campus there is BEM (Student Executive Board). SMEs are under the auspices of BEM.
To get a scholarship to follow SMEs has become an obligation for me. Although participating in SMEs is not mandatory for students. The four of us chose SMEs according to our interests. There are Rohis SMEs (Islamic Rohani), Journalistic SMEs, Nutmeg SMEs (Natural Lovers), Dance Art SMEs, Silat Pencak SMEs, Scout SMEs, Student Band SMEs, and others.
Mr. Lecturer said to be an active student was at least two SMEs. So I chose SME Rohis, SME Scout, and SME Journalism. What do I take three SMEs for? Of course, to become an active student who hopes to get a scholarship. Cie.ngarep is so.
While Widya and Nurul only follow Rohis SMEs. Even Ika chose not to join SMEs. It is possible that we do not participate in SMEs, because it is not a mandatory activity that must be followed. The mandatory activities are certainly following the lecture.
Lecturer who is the head of student affairs named Mr. Yazid Gandhitama. Mr. Yazid has always motivated us as freshmen.
"You students as agents of change, which means as agents of change must be able and dare to change. Start changing from yourself, change bad character to good, get out of your comfort zone to face the challenges of the future. Including dare to busy yourself in SMEs." At first glance his advice is still ringing in the ears when the closure of OSEK first.
Mr. Yazid often invited discussions with us during SME activities. He is also friendly and easy to share with us which includes Maba. He always motivated us. It is not uncommon for us to get a deal when discussing in the cafeteria. Almost all students know him.
Flashback off
After studying the training invitation, I immediately prepared myself to meet the requirements. Training is held during the even semester break next month. Requirements must be sent by fax immediately.
Mr. Yazid told me to immediately send the terms and reimburse all shipping costs including giving me an allowance. Mr. Yazid's message, two days before leaving was told to face him. I met him in his room at the time.
"Assalamualaikum sir, may I come in?" I knocked on the door of his room at the door that was wide open.
"Greetings waalaikum, yes please come in and sit here." He answered while pointing to the seat in front of his desk.
"How are the preparations going, are they ready?" ask her.
"Yes sir, thank God the requirements I sent a few days ago and the day after I left. Here's the receipt and proof of delivery, Mr." Answer me with a smile and courtesy while handing over the receipt.
Stretching out a white envelope he said, "yes, thank you. It's a little pocket money from college. Hope it's useful."
I politely and thank you for receiving the envelope. Then I immediately resigned because there was still afternoon lecture.
Curiosity began to stir in my heart. How much is in the envelope? Is enough for the cost of going home and going to a neighboring city because even though training is in a neighboring city hotel it still requires transportation there.
When I thought I was in a safe place, under the second-floor stairs and there was no one there, I immediately opened the bag and took the envelope from my bag.
When my hand was about to open the adhesive envelope, there was suddenly a shocking sound from the top of the stairs...
"Dor... hayoo what the hell is that?"
