Bella POV.
Februari orientasi magister—kampus Sabtu seharian, name tag *Karra Bella Atmadja — Magister KG Komunitas.* Ruang seminar, cohort dua belas mahasiswa, kebanyakan drg. bekerja. Aku belum kenal siapa pun dalam—ok.
Dean welcome: rigor, etik, dampak komunitas. Break networking—tukar kontak dengan drg. puskesmas dari kota lain. Cerita fellowship RS menarik minat; bukan pamer, fakta.
Minggu berikutnya, kelas hybrid pertama weekend—modul metode riset. Notebook penuh, otak penuh, lelah bahagia. Pulang dijemput papi karena hujan malam—tradisi support lanjut meski sudah drg. dan mahasiswi magister.
Sabtu malam setelah kelas pertama, aku summary notes send dr. Lestari—discipline habit. dr. Lestari reply: “Good start.”
Januari akhir prep orientasi—baca modul pre-read, beli notebook baru, charge laptop. Mami pack lunch box orientasi; papi set alarm lima pagi joke serious.
Ahad sebelum orientasi, mock introduce self thirty seconds di cermin—name, fellowship, research interest. Irash listen, clap over.
Orientasi lunch box dengan cohort—obrolan jam kerja sambil kuliah, struggle sama. Aku tidak mention Noah; mention posyandu instead. Connection professional born.
RS meeting Monday—dr. Lestari assign reduced fellowship hours formal letter—twenty hours weekly, focus master research proposal draft March. mbak Yuni cover posyandu slot swapped—gratitude deep.
Rabu, Naya chat: Ello meet om Saga formal lamaran prep done—date set Maret. Aku reply: “Doain lancar kak. Gue busy proposal research.” Boundary kind.
Kamis silaturahmi om Atma—bang Noah hadir, aku hadir. Project booth Q1 only talk. Koridor permisi. Mami proud whisper “master anak papi.”
Sabtu, research proposal outline draft—topic literasi gigi posyandu scale-up two sites. Data anonymized plan attach. Send dr. Lestari review Sunday.
Minggu, dr. Lestari balas proposal outline—comment method section, approve topic. Aku revisi malam; senyum lelah bahagia.
Selasa, posyandu spring batch start—anak baru many; SOP ku dipakai junior fellow. Full circle again.
Rabu malam, aku video call papi review jadwal Maret—lamaran Naya-Ello family event date, proposal deadline, weekend class. Papi bilang, “Komandan ratu level graduate school.” Aku jawab, “Level thanks to team home and RS.”
Noah POV epilog batch:
Gue site lead small team now—sertifikasi help. Bel master student—respect bigger. DM zero random. Grup keluarga enough. Ello ask gue stand lamaran Naya as friend support—not best man drama, just attend. Gue yes polite. Life forward boring good.
Bella POV close batch:
Papi ketuk pintu—tradisi.
“Drg. Bella, mahasiswi magister.”
“Masih anak papi di dapur.”
“Always.”
Kalender Maret: lamaran Naya-Ello family event, proposal deadline, posyandu spring. Noah name on calendar only as guest family if invited—not as plot.
Buku catatan:
*Master cohort started. Fellowship adjusted. Naya-Ello Maret. Proposal March. Orbit parallel hold.*
Shalat, tidur. Alarm adjusted weekend class. Heart open, bounded, forward—bab berikutnya menunggu proposal dan lamaran sahabat, bukan menunggu roti.
Irash fridge note update: *Drg. + Master kakak = OP.* Aku laugh, biarkan.
Kamis silaturahmi om Atma expand—bang Noah present slide drainage Q1 mall; aku present flyer edukasi update; Ello present structure minor fix. Round table; no personal talk. Koridor permisi usual.
Jumat, cohort master group chat formed—twelve members, share reading week two. Aku intro self paragraph modest—fellow RS Bandung. One classmate ask posyandu tips—start peer network.
Minggu dua Februari, assignment first summary paper one page—submit on time. Small win graduate school.
Papi ketuk pintu again before sleep Februari last night batch—tradisi double.
“Mahasiswi magister.”
“Anak papi forever.”
Ahad Februari, aku prep proposal slides draft for March meeting dr. Lestari—outline only, not full. Practice present five minutes to papi and Irash audience silly serious.
Senin, cohort assignment group formed—three members research ethics case study. Zoom night weekday after fellowship; schedule tight but manageable. Sahabat Kiera send meal box joke support.
Selasa, bang Noah comment grup proyek booth spring refresh only—tag Ello. Aku reply flyer draft attach. Thread closed no emoji heart.
Rabu, Naya confirm lamaran Maret date—invite Bella family side support not bridal party. Aku accept: “Gue hadir as kakak sahabat, bukan mediator.” Naya “Forever thanks.”
Kamis, first quiz master online timed—score pass. Small adrenaline academic not romantic.
Jumat posyandu—anak baru crying; aku handle same script monster gigi; junior fellow watch learn. Mentorship circle complete.
Sabtu, Kiera and Bella study date library—she read novel, I read journal article. Parallel quiet friendship.
Minggu, mami cook special for master student—opor again. Papi say “Fuel ratu graduate.” Irash steal kerupuk; chaos normal.
Buku catatan batch close:
*Februari: orientasi done. Class started. Proposal outline. Naya lamaran Maret set. Noah thread proyek only.*
Selasa Februari akhir, aku present proposal outline lima menit ke staf RS edukasi—feedback mbak Yuni practical, dr. Lestari academic. Revise notes captured.
Rabu, Ello kirim invite formal lamaran Naya Maret—PDF date, dress modest, family only mostly. Forward papi-mami; papi mark calendar; mami plan outfit hijab match Naya navy maybe.
Kamis, weekend class module two—statistics refresh painful but necessary. Study group Zoom cohort until ten pm; coffee mami forbidden after eight—sleep discipline.
Jumat, bang Noah like RS newsletter mention master student retain fellow—name Bella anonymized “BA” actually full in internal version only. External privacy ok.
Ahad, aku pack bag weekend class—charger, notebook, lunch mami, hijab spare. Papi drive station habit continue. Irash wave “kakak OP.”
Papi ketuk pintu tradisi final batch.
“Drg. Bella, magister.”
“Anak papi selamanya.”
Shalat, tidur. Alarm weekend class set. Februari tutup batch ini—Maret menunggu lamaran sahabat dan deadline proposal, orbit parallel masih hold.
Minggu terakhir Februari, aku dan dr. Lestari final call before March proposal—topic locked, method tweak, timeline agree. Mentor and mentee rhythm solid.
Senin pagi Maret eve, aku lay out outfit lamaran Naya support attendee modest—hijab navy, dress simple, not upstage sahabat. Sahabat role fashion too.
Februari closing reflection: dari shortlist Desember sampai cohort magister—Noah tetap di rel parallel, Naya-Ello di rel couple, Bella di rel data and community. Segitiga era truly archive—not deleted, but closed kind.
Irash update ranking satu mid Februari—celebration smaller but real. Aku bilang, “Ranking satu dan master kakak—dua OP di rumah.” Papi laugh loud.
Tidur. Februari tutup batch ini.
