A Match For Handsome Teacher

chapter 5

Days change days, weeks change weeks, and it's been two months since Hizaz and Zilza's match, and during that time they often communicate through social media even though it is just a trite talk asking news and encouraging each other, especially for Zilza who will run the High School National Examination in a few days.

Hizaz promised Zilza that he would take him for a walk around the city of Semarang, if he could get an exam score above KKM. Of course, this really helps Zilza to learn more so that what Hizaz promises becomes real.

Zilza rarely goes to Semarang for sightseeing. In addition to busy school, the distance from his home to Semarang quite takes about 2 hours, and again Zilza does not have a SIM, so it is forbidden for his parents to travel far.

Zilza was born and raised in Batang Regency, one of the districts located in Central Java and is touted as an area that exceeds the size of Singapore. Although the area is very wide, Batang Regency is indeed less known to the wider community, unlike its neighbor, Pekalongan, because Batang is still a developing city. In addition to its area, Batang is also very well known to the community with teak forests that surround most of its territory, namely 'Alas Roban'. One of the largest forests and known haunted by some Indonesian people.

Teeettt,,! Teeettt,,! The bell rings twice, indicating that the time for the exam is over. Zilza immediately stopped his activity to check the results of his work on the exam questions that he finished working on a few minutes ago. Zilza exited the examination hall with a feeling of relief.

"May my test score be on target and no one is below KKm, aamiin" murmured Zilza quietly by cupping his two hands to his face, while walking through the hallways of the class towards the parking lot.

Zilza was riding his bike at a moderate speed of about 15 minutes until arriving home. The mother welcomed her arrival with a smile and immediately told Zilza to eat in with rice and side dishes as well as vegetables that had been prepared. Zilza ate his meal on the plate greedily until it was gone because this morning he only had breakfast a piece of bread and a glass of milk.

"Look,,!" Call Zilza to his mother who is watching television in the living room. Yes, Zilza used the call 'Listen' to his mother because it was the one commonly used by the people of Zilza area. 'Listen/Ma'e' means 'Mother', while 'Father/Pa'e' means Father. And Zilza called his parents 'Father & Listening'.

"Yes Nok, what's up ?" Sophi (mother of Zilza) replied while looking at the princess. 'Nok/Sinok, and Nduk/Sinduk' is a call for girls, while for boys commonly called 'Nang/Sinang, and Lop/Colope'.

A bright morning as bright as Zilza's heart would go to the beach for the celebration after the test. It took 20 minutes to travel for Zilza to reach the intended beach, there were already some friends who had come to prepare the need to burn fish.

"What should I help you with ?" zilza asked his theme of cutting tomatoes, Ira.

"you made the salmbel nuts anyway, that is ready all just stay cool" Ira replied while pointing to the material to be made sambel nuts

"okay bosses" replied Zilza enthusiastically. Then Zilza painstakingly mengolek nuts until smooth, then chili that has been fried and salt, then sugar Java also onions that have been fried.

Then came some male friends who had just fished in the sea 'Celong' which was not too far from the beach 'Kuripan' where the burning event was held.

The beaches of 'Kuripan' and 'Celong' are both located in the northern part of Batang district, precisely in Subah subdistrict, the distance is not too far because the path is still one way from 'Pantura' Subah District, Subah District, only different directions after passing through the intersection of Kemiri Village.

Kuripan Beach is known for its beautiful atmosphere, and many cypress trees that stand around the beach that can be used as free seating because it is not too high, under the tree we can make it a place to unwind enjoying the sound of waves and breezy gusts of wind under the evergreen tree as did Zilza and his school friends.

While Celong Beach or Celong Sea, better known as the paradise of fishing lovers because it is a very large number of fish even though only around the edges. Not only fish that much, but also there are shrimp, squid, cuttlefish and even crabs are also very abundant. Unlike the Kuripan beach, the view of Celong beach is known for the wide rocks neatly arranged on the beach, it makes it easy for people who want to fish while sitting down to enjoy the waves without fear of falling.

After all the fishing catches were cleaned, the boys immediately prepared the grill, while the girls continued to make complementary spices and sauce. The event was cheerful, many laughs were created. Creating fond memories with high school friends who soon they will be separated continue the ideals.
