Chapter 37:The Feeling Still There (1/2)
”Carol,” someone called when Carolina was just about to enter the faculty of informatics engineering lecture room. Carolina accidentally woke up again at 10 am because she planned to do academic registration on campus today.
Instead of staring at the internship again today because she has nothing to do, it is better for her to ”run away” and tell Andy that she has something to do on campus. It is true that she had to do academic registration.
”Yes?” Carolina turned and found Riko walking towards her.
”Have you seen Miss Tina?” asked Riko, who was looking for his academic counselor.
Carolina shook her head, ”I just came. Maybe she is inside?” said Carolina again.
”She wasn't in there. Well, maybe she is already back. Let's go together,” said Riko, carrying a paper in his hand which was a Study Plan Card.
Carolina nodded then finally opened the door. Se planned to find Sir David, her academic counselor, to sign the Study Plan Card that she had previously printed.
”Miss Tina is there, I'll go first,” said Riko when he saw her academic counselor at her desk. Carolina nodded and walked again to find Sir David, whose desk was on the inside.
”Excuse me, sir,” Carolina said as soon as she saw Sir David at his desk.
”This is sir, I want to ask for the Study Plan Card signature,” said Carolina again then took out a paper from her bag.
”Aren't you supposed to know that students are looking for you now to ask for Study Plan Card signature?” thought Carolina who was surprised by the way her academic counselor thought.
”Ohh,” replied Sir David and then read the course taken by Carolina. Apart from practical work, Carolina is also taking two courses that can be taken when it is semester 7. Fortunately, the two courses are deliberately scheduled for Friday. So it will not interfere with the student internship process.
”Thanks, sir,” replied Carolina who took back her Study Plan Card. Sir David only nodded.
”How is it? There's Sir David here?” Riko asked when she saw Carolina who had returned. He deliberately waited for Carolina at the exit.
Carolina nods.
”Let's just look for the dean,” said Riko before finally opening the door. Their study plan card must be signed by the academic counselor and dean before finally being photocopied and submitted to the academics.
After the door opened, Riko and Carolina were surprised to see 5 women standing in front of the room. They encourage each other to speak first.
”Older brother Riko,” called one of them who seemed to know Riko.
”Oh hey,” said Riko who vaguely remembered.
”Your acquaintance?” asked Carolina.
Riko shrugged his shoulders, ”I think she's in the 3rd semester now. She was a freshman in my team during the campus student orientation,” said Riko, who was always the campus event committee.
”Ohh, then I'll go first,” said Carolina. The women seemed to have a need with Riko, and soon lunch time would start.
Carolina plans to finish her registration before lunch so that she doesn't have to wait much longer on campus and can return to her boarding room to continue the work that the red apple gave her.
Just as Carolina was about to step in to find the dean, suddenly one of the women among them, who seemed impatient, blocked her way.
Carolina glanced at the woman, she didn't like her attitude. Especially after knowing that the woman was probably her junior in the 3rd semester, a sudden urge to say something harsh, but Carolina tried to hold herself back because Riko was around there.
If Riko heard her speak harshly, her efforts to maintain her image all this time could be in vain!
”What is it?” asked Carolina softly with a smile.
”You are the one whose name is Carol?” asked the woman who was blocking Carolina.
Riko who saw them seemed to want to disturb Carolina, asked the one who greeted her earlier, ”What's wrong?”
Carolina he knows is a woman who is gentle and always smiles, as a man, the feeling of wanting to protect a woman arises when she sees the situation. Moreover, Carolina doesn't seem to know them.
Five women are surrounding one woman. Of course their goal is not a good thing.
”This is not what older brother Riko expected, really! We just wanted to ask,” said the woman who greeted Riko.
But Riko, who was still suspicious, pulled Carolina to get behind him.
Carolina, whose hand was pulled, just obeyed and glanced at Riko.
”If you are not in here, I can give this insolent junior some beats!” thought Carolina. If the five women wanted to gang up on her, Carolina was ready to go to a less crowded place and teach them a lesson.
How dare they get in my way!
