"Good test remaining 5 minutes" said Mr. Tamrin as the supervisor in the room

Setya hurriedly took his exam because there were still many unanswered questions while the time was five minutes away

"Duh,, how is this where there are 10 more unanswered questions,, use the C block system only time let's quickly "Setya muttered with a little resignation

"OK please collect the exam papers finished not finished must be collected"

Ayu advanced to become the first student to collect his exam papers in the room.

"Then Setya hurriedly came forward to collect his answer sheet"

"Thank you for the cooperation today, you can go home"

"Alright sir,,"The room was compactly answering orders from Mr. Tamrin

Ayu and Setya then cross paths at the door while looking at each other

"Ta,, how was the test I noticed you were nervous when Mr. Tamrin said that the test was five minutes away"Ju reprimanded Setya first

"Hehehe,,, yesaa Yu there are still some questions that I have not been able to fill where the time is already very tight" he said

"Ooh, that's the next time you feel the code trouble I'm well I'm helping you"

"Okay, Yu thank you well I first because you want to stop by the shop first mapan something"

"Okee bay,, be careful on the road well"Setya then immediately rushed out of the school yard, he said,

Ayu who was still standing in her place before moving up she continued to look at Setya who passed away while smiling to herself.

A week later, the graduation exam was finally completed just waiting for the graduation announcement a few more weeks, Ayu who was sitting casually on the pensive Terrace

"Setya's graduation announcement in a few weeks there is no sense of the same me, when there is nothing to express that will be fitting farewell" Ayu said in her heart with a sullen expression.

"So who will be the leader of the graduation ceremony Setya yah" Sinta's mother while holding a paper containing the names of the ceremony officers

"Every Ma'am"Setya was a little shocked because he did not expect to be appointed as the leader of the graduation ceremony later,

Meanwhile, Ayu was also appointed as a reader of the law at the graduation ceremony later which was planned to be held in conjunction with the announcement of graduation by the school on Monday.

A week of training and preparation for the graduation ceremony finally the long-awaited time has arrived, Setya is standing upright ready to enter the ceremonial field with a white uniform and peci on his head

"The graduation ceremony report is ready to be carried out"

"Execute," said the headmaster who also became the coach of the graduation ceremony,

From a distance Ayu looked at Setya with admiration seeing Setya gallantly standing leading the entire student body at the graduation Ceremony

"Hormaattt,,,,, grak"Setya with his long breath gave a warning to respect the red-and-white flag.

"The ceremonial builder's manat"

"Good kids especially for 12th grade a week ago you guys finished your final graduation exam today I'm going to announce your graduation, so for my children especially for the 12th grade, congratulations you are declared to graduate one hundred percent" to be greeted with cheers and applause all the school members who attended the graduation ceremony

Then the principal continued

"To see who the best graduates with the highest grades please later can be seen in the school mading there are already the names of the 10 best graduates"

"The ceremony has been completed report"

"Dissolve,,,"

"Ready dissolve,,,"

"Dissolve the line,,, the way"Setya disbanded the ceremony.

Greeted with the joy of 12th graders who finally graduated from High School, they were seen gathering in front of the school to see who the best graduates,,,,, are,,, it turns out that the top name or the best graduate is Ayu with almost perfect grades while Setya does not enter the top ten best graduates.

"Congratulations Yu" said Ayu's friends

"Yes, thank you guys" Ayu said

"Congratulations Ayu"Setya

"Yesa Ya thank ya"With a face that smiled widely

The next day arrived the 12th class committee was seen pacing back and forth preparing the stage for the graduation event on Saturday, Setya who was tired of working and then took a break like thinking about something.

"It doesn't feel good in a few days I'm leaving this school, but until this moment I haven't said anything to Ayu"it turns out that during this time Setya also has a taste for Ayu but he does not dare to reveal it maybe because it is still traumatized by his past

A series of 12th grade student graduation events have been held with various maulid events from band appearances to greeting from Master and Student representatives, including, seen students and students can not stand to stem their tears because they will leave SMA 1 Nusa Bangsa until the end of the Student Event together to give flowers and gifts to their teachers.

Setya who was then holding the red flower awkwardly met Ayu

"Yu this flower is there for you to succeed yah Yu"

Ayu timidly accepts the gift of flowers from Setya

"Eeh,, yesaa thanks well Ta there is chocolate also for you success also well Tata btw earlier you were really cool fitting lead the ceremony"

"Hehehe is ordinary"Setya denied

"Seriously cool the Ta loh looks very dignified "Ayu keeps praising Setya

"Hehehe thanks Yu"

Setya and Ayu look so close like they are unable to lie to themselves that they have a sense of each other but have not dared to express it yet,on the one hand Setya is still traumatized by his past and on the other hand Ayu as a woman is also prestige if you have to reveal it first.

"i say yes Ta, I hope we can meet again someday" Ayu said showing a sad expression

"Yes Yu I also hope to meet again after we achieve our respective success"

They finally parted ways and that day was the last meeting day between Setya and Ayu, the farewell was the last word they said before returning to their respective paths to achieve a better future.
