On a Small Island With the CEO's Daughter
Episode 67: Back to campus
Two months after his return from the island, or two months less since the battle with Pablo's forces, or two months less less since Yulfi decided to trade apples, he said, or one month since the meat-burning event, or one month before the Lampard tribe estimates come to Sukma, finally Angga and some others go to campus. No exception Mr. Bagas who intends to submit his resignation because he wants to focus on helping Lita.
Their arrival was greeted with cheers from the campus residents. The faces of the entire campus were filled with astonishment, shock, day, happiness, and various responses that as a whole seemed to state that the presence of Angga and the team back on campus made them like impromptu artists.
"This morning you are asked to meet directly with the rector in his room," said Bu Lidiya as dean of Naya faculty.
Just a minute walk looks Angga, Beno, Fikri, Naya, Rena, and also Mr. Bagas already sitting sweet in the room of Mr. Gatot, the Rector.
"Welcome to all of you. To be honest at first I was surprised and confused when I heard that you were missing. But after Mr. Leo represented the other guardians to provide reports and detailed information, I am honestly very impressed with you. Not only do you help advance the people of Biwian island, but you dare to face the criminals and even conquer them. All efforts in the struggle and survival of the island are very representative of my overall judgment. You are not just doing KKN, but more than that you live in a place that is not worth using as a place to live. That's really amazing." Said Mr. Gatot.
"Regardless of the death of Mr. Herson and his wife. Then the disappearance of Sisi and Jaka. We call it an accident. We understand very well that it is not easy to live life as a survivor. Therefore all, there are 3 important points that I want to convey after this," continued the 50-year-old Rector.
"The journey of life is a mystery we cannot predict. No one knew it would happen like this. Even we never thought we would return safely" Angga responded.
"Sir, go straight to the point just let's not muter-muter. Hehe," Beno seems impatient.
"Hahaha, okay. There are 3 things I need to say. First, taking into account your struggles, the campus awards unqualified graduation for all of you. Let's just say your life during the island is the real trial," said Mr. Gatot.
All rejoicing. There is nothing more beautiful for a scholar than successful graduation. Beyond that they also feel relief from the routine of thinking and learning that for now for them is very heavy. Not because of laziness, but the burden of successive problems lately makes the focus diverted.
"Wasyeekk.gue graduated, I passed." Beno spontaneously joget ala dangdut singer and immediately responded with laughter from the entire room.
"Haha. Congratulations to you. The second point continued, I personally wanted to ask for help. You need to know together that the campus, especially me as the rector, experienced a lot of pressure from the Sisi and Jaka families regarding their disappearance. By looking at your skills, I hope you ask for your help to bring them back home. I am optimistic Mr. Leo who is a billionaire and gold-hearted is willing to help you to momentarily return to the island," this time the Rector looks gloomy.
"Although I can't promise I'll be able to find them. But I am willing if I have to go there again. And also, we still have promises to be fulfilled there," Angga gave a positive response to Mr. Gatot's request.
"Thank God. Thank you for your willingness," Mr. Gatot's eyes sparkled to find a glimmer of hope from Angga.
"Without the father of mintapun, we already have plans to look for them." added Angga who immediately followed the gaze that seemed to disagree from Rena and Naya.
--Angga gives an eye gesture to Rena and Naya to save their refusal and postpone talking about it until they get home from college.
"I'm so glad to hear that. All right, step on the third point. It has to do with Mr. Bagaskara. We are proud of what Mr. Bagaskara has done. Therefore, we also give high appreciation to the campus guard, Mr. Bagas, by appointing him as the head of university administration." said Mr. Gatot.
"Thank you very much, sir. I'm so glad to hear that. I apologized earlier. My intention here today is to resign from the job here.." Mr. Bagas replied straightforwardly.
"Is Mr Bagas disappointed with this campus?, Or maybe the gift I gave was too ordinary?" Mr. Gatot scrunched his forehead.
"Hehe, of course not. That position is very good. But I have been planning to resign for a long time. Not without reason, I want to focus on helping my child's work," said Mr. Bagas polite.
"Where does Mr Bagas' son work?"
"She Lita, CEO of PT. Centong Max Sakti's.."
"What??!. Bu Lita, the youngest female CEO in Indonesia is the son of Mr Bagas?" Mr. Gatot is aghast.
"Yes, sir."
"I'm sorry I never recognized Mr. Bagas before. If you know Mr. Bagas is Bu Lita's father, there is no way I can position Mr. Bagas as a security guard.." the Rector's face seems to show regret.
"That's not necessary either, sir. I don't want to be appreciated just for looking at my child's position. I don't want to look flashy." said Mr. Bagas.
"It's not because it's just Mr. Bagas. Maybe you don't know yet. Mr. Leo and Ms. Lita are regular donors to the university. Their services are very big," continued Mr. Gatot.
"Whatever Mr. Bagas' decision, I cannot stand in the way. I support the steps you take." Mr. Gatot tried to accept.
"In writing, my resignation letter will be delivered after this," concluded Mr. Bagas.
***
One week after the meeting with Mr. Gatot, the team regrouped at Naya's home to discuss plans to return to the island of Mawar.
"For the plan to find Sisi and Jaka, why haven't you guys delivered to us yet?" asked Rena with a sharp look.
--so did Naya who looked at him with a similar gaze.
"Don't rush emotions first. Initially Beno and Fikri also did not agree when I proposed looking for Sisi. But I have another consideration. It has to do with their families. Which parent is sad when they lose their child?. What if it happens to our parents?" both Rena and Naya were only able to fall silent a thousand languages when they heard what Angga said.
"If you hate Sisi, I hate Sisi too. And that's each other's right. We cannot hate their families. Let's aim to help their families, as if we were trying to make our own parents happy!" angga lowered his head.
"Sorry to us, Ngga. We never thought that far," Naya bowed shyly but not shyly cat.
"Lu really too, Ngga. During this time I ama Naya has always been treated well by Sisi's parents, even very familiar like her own parents. There's a moral burden on them if Sisi doesn't return.." Rena is down.
"There's a tap, bro!" Mr. Bagas speak up.
"What is that, sir?"
"May they live to this day.." Mr. Bagas.
"Waduw..if they die, will be put where our faces when we meet Mr Gatot?!" Fikri also looked down.
"We have to be optimistic, even though the hope is only fifty-fifty.." despite trying to be optimistic, Lita is also unable to prevent her head from looking down.
DUUTTT
