Jaka, this time in the minor level competition. In fact, Jaka is not too know what kind of calculations are needed to make a building or building.
He himself only armed with his drawing talent, and also some references from books in the library.
Kayuhan for the sake of paddling he passed until finally reached the building of the architect of the poor regional city of Malang.
Arriving there, he was surprised because there were so many participants present. Not to mention, only Jaka alone participants who still sit on the Junior High School bench.
Many people who look at Jaka with a look of wonder, maybe in their minds how can a Junior High child be able to know this competition and even participate in it.
Most participants are students who are studying at the High School level and college students.
Jaka who realized that everyone was staring at him tried to stay calm and ignore them all.
He realized that he had indeed entered this competition just trying his luck. Jaka does not expect more, he will also not regret if later his image is underestimated by everyone.
Jaka walked towards the registration place that was in front of the main entrance.
“Excuse me, is it true here the place of registration?” tanyanya politely.
“Yes, brother, right. Can anyone help?”
“I want to sign up for this competition.” replied Jaka while thrusting pamphlet he brought.
Suddenly the answer expressed by Jaka made the officer shocked just like that. It was from his expression that changed drastically.
However, the clerk kept trying professionally and provided a registration form.
Not to forget also, the officer helped Jaka to check back the equipment usually used to draw designs such as lances, rulers, and others.
It is ready, now Jaka is waiting for the time to enter the room with all the participants who also participated in this competition.
Not long after, about 30 minutes Jaka took a walk around the building. Suddenly an announcement was heard to immediately enter the room according to the approved registration sheet.
Jaka also entered the truly magnificent building. In it there are many black white stools that have been neatly arranged.
In his heart, he was amazed by the interior design of the building. No doubt if the building like this is used as a regional architect bond building Malang.
Walk slowly towards the bench with the number 58 and remain inseparable from the gaze of everyone who always highlights what Jaka is doing.
The competition supervisor had also entered the room. There are some regulations that are submitted by that supervisor.
However, the supervisor who brought the delivery casually made everyone not too tense as when carrying out the school exam.
Jaka understands the rules and what he has to do. Until finally the supervisor allows to start conceptualizing and drawing.
All participants simultaneously took the equipment in their bags.
In this minor competition, there are several fields offered. Jaka took up the field of construction of financial buildings.
According to Jaka, the building of the financial supervisory agency which is currently quite boring and seems old-fashioned when compared to other economic buildings.
In his mind, he also illustrated how the building of the financial supervisory agency should be.
After all, for minor competitions there is no need for accurate calculations.
Jaka drew the building quietly. Each line of his tiny pencil was so fine and could be completed in a single stroke.
In the midst of his preoccupation with drawing, suddenly there was someone who was next to him accidentally dropping his equipment.
Suddenly it made some other participants feel furious because the focus was disturbed.
The room that was at first so quiet, was suddenly filled with slow, grumbling sounds.
The supervisor still ignored the incident just now, until there was one person in front to move from his stool and to the participant who dropped his equipment earlier.
"It's noisy coming out" said the participant.
Not accepting being yelled at like that, the participants beside Jaka were carried away with emotions and yelled at each other forcing each other.
The entire room was shocked and finally focused on the two of them.
In the end, the fight was broken by the supervisor and the two men were disqualified from the competition for causing a commotion.
Jaka who is still sitting on the bench of SMP has its own advantages. He was not provoked by the commotion that occurred and was still engrossed in enjoying his pencil scratches.
While the other participants, may almost completely have lost focus and concentration on the design they have each.
Seen from some participants who initially focused on staring at the picture sheet, now began to put the pencil and hold his head a sign they lost the idea.
Two hours of time passed quite quickly, exactly ten minutes before Jaka finally put down his pencil and stretched his muscles.
He looked at the picture and was quite satisfied with it.
"Time is up, please put all the drawing equipment on the table. Let me take the picture sheet." said the supervisor.
Some participants obeyed him and there were some participants who were seen sighing long.
The competition is over, and the announcement of the winning results will be announced five days later which can be seen in the IAI building.
Winners will be divided into two categories, namely the best design champion and champion 1 of the overall aspects assessed.
Jaka went home from the building with a smile, he felt relieved to be able to finish the design well.
Although he in his heart did not expect more on the image of his.
Day after day, Jaka goes through. It didn't feel like a week had passed since he entered the architecture minor competition.
After school, Jaka went straight to the IAI building to see the results of the announcement.
So many participants who have also shrouded the notice board.
Jaka is aware that his body is not as big as other participants who incidentally are high school students and college students prefer to wait until it is quiet.
Seen from a distance, there were some participants who showed sad faces and satisfied faces with the results they had just seen.
About 15 minutes passed, Jaka finally got up from his seat and walked over to the notice board.
He began to sort from the lowest rank, which is rank 72.
Until he was surprised when his name was at the top, ranked 1st in the best design category. Jaka himself never terbesit even in his mind if he will become a champion.
His tears could not be contained anymore, and he immediately headed inside the building to retrieve the reward from IAI.
After that, he came home happy. The first competition he won, and even more so only Jaka was the only Junior High School student who participated in this competition against a lot of participants above him.
