The matriculation of new students is set to kick off today at 10:00 am at the convocation ground of the university. The convocation ground was nicely orchestrated and decorated.
Each faculty was given a specific place where their students would sit.
Performers are entertaining the arrivals before the event kick-off. The place is very stunning and cheerful.
Smith quietly moves into the convocation ground and walks directly to the space reserved for law students and sits on the available empty seat.
"Hey, Dude! Have you just arrived? I reserved a seat for you next to me. Stand up, let's move to the place." Jackson Khalil said.
He stood up while smiling at him and said, "Okay my friend, let's move on to the place."
"Can you remember the girl we met at the admission office?" Jackson Khalil asked while they were walking.
Smith smiled and then responded " Yeah."
" I met her and talked to her. She is next to my seat. Her name is Diana. She's awesome!" Khalil said.
As they were walking, Khalil Jackson paused and sat next to one pretty girl well-dressed in a matriculation wig and gown with one big black spec on her face.
"Hey, Diana, I came back!" Smith, sit down," Jackson Khalil said while showing him an empty chair next to the girl on the left side.
"Okay, Thank you," Smith said while sitting on the chair which had the girl thanking his minds.
"Hey, Diana, this is Smith," Jackson Khalil said.
She looks at him and waves her hand. He also waved to her.
She picked up her phone from her pouch and started pressing it like she was chatting.
"Hey, Diana." she looked up to see who called her name.
Smith called her name and then unmindfully showed her an I.D card that fell when she was picking her phone out from the pouch.
"Oh! Thank you," she said.
"Your welcome" he responded.
*******************
"Stand up! In honour of the presence of the Vice-Chancellor of this great university, noble Professors and Doctors, special guests of Honour to witness this great occasion," the Emcee announced.
All the students stand up as the vice-chancellor and his guests come into the convocation ground.
The performers all step down from the stage as the event begins.
All the students stood up while the disc jockey released a very soft melody to welcome their presence.
As the guest sat, the melody was paused and the emcee announced the commencement of the event as the students also sitted back.
"Hey, Diana, look up." Everyone was snapping pictures of the VC while others were videoing it. Why didn't you bother taking one? This is a memorable day in your life, you should at least get one on your phone." Jackson Khalil said.
She looked at him and smiled, then she responded "Okay!"
"Well, let me snap a picture for you," Jackson Khalil said while trying to collect her phone.
She smiled and then gave him the phone for the pictures.
"Hey, Smith, let us snap a picture of Diana," Jackson said.
Smith smiles and then comes forward and stands next to Diana and Jackson for the pictures.
They cheerfully snap pictures and then sit back as the emcee announces how the matriculation will take place.
" The matriculation will begin now, and it's by batch, each Dean will present the newly admitted students of his faculty to the vice-chancellor for the matriculation and oath-taking. Each student is required to come with his oath form duly signed for swearing and stand before the Vice-Chancellor and repeat the oath before the Registrar. And then, drop the oath form in the provided box at the exit door." Emcee announced.
***********************
Students are called batch by batch for the matriculation. The event is very fascinating and memorable. The event ended at noon and midday, but students and performers were still there taking entertainment, snapping pictures, making friends and dancing.
Smith, Jackson and Diana have already become acquainted with each other. By 1 o'clock, they went to the restaurant for lunch.
"Hey, Diana, matriculation is very interesting. I enjoyed it, it was indeed great and memorable," Jackson said.
"Yeah, it was indeed memorable," Diana said while looking at the pictures they snapped.
" Why is it memorable for you?" Smith asked Diana while looking at her.
She smiled and responded, "It's memorable because it is a day that I first met Mr. Loquacious and Mr Reticent. She said jokingly.
They all laugh and then call the waitress for an order of the food they'll eat.
As they are getting their launch, they keep their conversation on.
"Hey, Diana, when will the class begin?" Smith asked.
She looks up and answers back,' Yeah, the next day after tomorrow we have class."
" Okay, do you have any idea where it'll take place?" Jackson asked.
"Oh yeah, according to the information that reached me, the lecture will be held on LAW THEATHER 1 at the faculty, which is usually reserved only for first-year students." She answered.
As they are done getting their lunch, Smith calls the waitress for the bill.
"Hey!!! Come for the bill." He drew her attention to come and attend to them.
As the waitress came, she looked at her and said to her, " Oh waitress, what's your name? You look beautiful and charming like my cousin I left at home? Smith said.
She chuckles and responded, "My name is Andriana.
"Oh Andriana, you remind me of my only dearsis Alicezaks, you look alike in shape."
They all laughed, and then Jackson Khalil asked, " Who's Alicezaks?"
Smith smiled and then responded "She is my heart, my happiness and the only person I always regard with utmost care and importance. Whosoever wants to see my happiness shall treat her with the utmost regard, and whosoever wants to see my sadness shall touch her happiness. My Alicezaks, My life! My happiness and my all of me!" He said in a calm soft voice and then sighed.
They all clapped for him and then, Jackson Khalil said, "Wow I can't believe this!"
"Is she your girlfriend?" Diana asked.
He smiled and then said "No she is not! She is my only dear cousin I enjoyed being together with.Let me introduce you to her via phone. Smith said while taking out his phone from his pocket.
He gave her a video call, and, fortunately, she up the call.
As they were connected, Smith said, " Hey my dearsis!"
"Hi, my guest." How was your matriculation?"
"Indeed, very interesting how I wish you were there for me, " Smith said.
"Oh really? I will be there for your convocation." She said while smiling at him.
Hey, my heart, I'm introducing you to my dear friend Khalil Jackson, who I told you about before, and Diana. We just met at the matriculation grounds, she's my coursemate too, and Andriana is a waitress that you look like in shape.
"Oh, thank you, they all waved at her, and she also waved at them."
"Okay, my Dearsis, I will give you a call when I go back to my room and give you a story of how the matriculation took place," Smith said.
"Okay, my guest, I'm missing you very much!"
"Me too, my heart...take care of yourself for me, don't let anything hurt please," Smith said.
"I promised you this bye." She said while cutting off the call.
"Wow! Fabulous, she is lovable", Jackson Khalil said.
"Hey, Andriana, how much is your bill? " Smith asked.
"20 dollars" she answered.
Smith pushed his wallet out of his pocket and then paid 20 dollars while assuring Andriana that her restaurant would be his place for his meal.
They all stand up and start leaving the restaurant.
"Hey, Diana, let's share a contact so that we may be given an update about lectures. " smith requested.
"Okay, she said, and they exchanged a contacts. And then give themselves a warmth good bye.
