The first day of college/The day passed, and the day came when Wijaya had to start his college schedule, this time Wijaya had a morning schedule at 8 to attend his first class.
After finishing dropping off his mother, Wijaya immediately rushed to his campus, which was in the capital of the Patih kingdom.
It took 45 minutes of normal time by motorbike to arrive at his campus.
It's just that today is Monday, and it's still early. Where many workers and school children are leaving.
Resulting in the busy and smooth roads on normal days, now seem much more crowded to pass.
Thinking about his first class on campus, Wijaya certainly didn't want to be late, so he tried his best to speed up his motorbike to run faster than usual.
However, clearly due to age factors and also mediocre maintenance, the sound of a heavy engine roar was heard from Wijaya's motorbike.
Powerless to force his motorbike to run faster, then Wijaya could only try his best not to be late.
Feeling excessive worry, Wijaya unconsciously continued to pray throughout his journey, so that God would smooth his path.
And as if God had heard his prayer, the path that Wijaya took became much smoother, until finally at 7:50 he managed to arrive at his campus parking lot.
Then quickly immediately, he ran to the 4th floor where his class was.
Although there was an elevator on his campus, Wijaya knew that if he had to queue to get on the elevator with the others, then he would definitely be late.
So he chose to go through the side stairs, and ran up the stairs quickly.
Upon arriving at the 4th floor, Wijaya immediately went to the front of his class where room 432 was written, after making sure that this was his class.
Then Wijaya peeked from behind the door and found that the class was already filled with all students and luckily the lecturer had not arrived.
Seeing this, Wijaya was grateful "almost .... in the end I managed to arrive on time" after catching his breath a little then Wijaya opened the classroom door.
And entered, where he was then greeted by curious gazes from many eyes.
As a student who arrived almost on time, Wijaya of course had to face the gazes of many of his friends who were already in the classroom.
Smiling slightly, Wijaya then turned his gaze towards the chair in front of the classroom, where Rudi was already waving at him.
So without hesitation he walked towards Rudi who was sitting in the right corner of the classroom.
"I thought you were late," Rudi greeted Wijaya who was currently sitting beside him.
"Traffic jam, please understand," Wijaya replied again, as he then leaned back in his chair, feeling a little tired after running from the parking lot and climbing the stairs to the classroom.
Just when Rudi was about to continue speaking, a middle-aged female lecturer with a fat body entered the classroom.
Seeing this, both of them immediately became silent.
"Good morning everyone," the lecturer greeted the entire class.
"Morning, lecturer," the students answered in unison.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Helga, your supervisor, and I teach about Literary Criticism.
Next, let us start introducing ourselves, and for every name I call, please stand in your place while introducing yourself…
And then let us start with… Daris Bold.." Lecturer Helga called a name.
Then a movement was heard from the back of the class, where a young man with an ordinary appearance, with a slightly handsome face and slightly curly hair.
He appeared to stand up from his chair, and soon a slightly loud and deep voice began to echo in the classroom.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Darius Bold, I am from Gores, nice to meet you all" Darius's short and simple introduction immediately attracted the attention of all the students in the class.
No exception for Wijaya who saw Darius as his close friend on campus, Wijaya remembered that Darius was a kind and smart young man, he had a friendly personality and loved to learn.
In the future, if he remembers correctly, Darius will become a government employee after he graduates and serve his hometown.
In an area called Gores, the name of a place located in the eastern region of the Patih kingdom.
Famous as a producer of good cows and horses, and has beautiful scenery, only because the place is quite far and isolated so the development there is a little behind.
After that, Lecturer Helga called another name "Gery Rone ..." and the figure of a young man beside Darius stood up, he was a thin young man who was quite handsome, his slightly innocent face made people feel happy to be friends with him.
"I'm Gery Rone and I come from Beksi" then just like Darius he introduced himself briefly and simply.
But clearly because of the time that was a little more handsome and innocent, it attracted more attention compared to Darius' introduction at the beginning.
Again then Wijaya unconsciously remembered the origin of his close friend, Gery Rone, a good friend he also had during his college days on campus, Gery was actually a little closed in terms of background.
Except for their friendship on campus and during class activities, there wasn't much information he got about Gery, especially if he remembered correctly Gery would drop out of college in semester 5 or 6 which was a very unfortunate thing.
Feeling a little lost a good friend, but Wijaya who was innocent at that time, didn't pay much attention to it, unless he asked about the reason why he dropped out of college.
And Gery answered because the reason he had to work, Wijaya didn't ask further because he was worried about offending Grey's privacy.
Then lecturer Helga called another name "Irina Savage..." And from the middle of the class a beautiful woman wearing glasses stood up, with a slightly red face because of embarrassment, then she introduced herself.
"Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Irina Savage, I'm from Nusa" a soft and shy voice immediately made her classmates have a good impression of Irina.
Moreover, with a gentle personality like that, it made Irina even more charming.
This time Wijaya became a little excited when he remembered Irina, a beautiful young woman who was his close friend on campus, even to a certain extent there was an emotional attachment between Wijaya and Irina.
Irina in Wijaya's memory is a smart and gentle woman, she is part of a family of businessmen who live in the capital of the Patih kingdom.
She is kind and helpful, making her have many friends in class.
But there was one moment that made Wijaya and Irina have to distance themselves from each other in the future, and he felt very sorry for that.
Now that he saw her again, there was a determination in Wijaya's heart.
