A Tale of Ary

6. Joint Exercises

A loud voice echoed in the building of the village hall where Ary lived. The voice of people practicing pencak silat white swallow martial arts, Ary is currently participating in the exercise. Once a week Ary practices pencak silat to fill his free time on Sunday nights.

Pencak silat white swallow has several levels. White belt for beginners, then one level above the yellow belt. Once the yellow belt will level up to the green belt, then the blue belt, after that the red, brown, and black belt. Brown belts are for assistant coaches, while black belts are worn by coaches.

To become an assistant coach is not easy, he must undergo a series of strenuous training for three full months. If you do not have a strong physical and mental will not be able to follow the exercise.

Ary is currently wearing a green belt. Ary took part in the exercise for only a few months, starting to follow when he finished the Junior High examination. This is because many guys come to his house on Sunday night and he wants to avoid it. The only way to do that is to practice white swallow martial arts, that's all that comes to mind.

Too enjoy the exercise, over time become a seriousness. At first he wanted to avoid people, eventually becoming a habit that was hard to abandon. As is the case today, he is still in the spirit of practicing when time has shown night and some of his friends have gone home.

"Ary enough!" exclaim coach Ary.

" Tomorrow we'll just keep going again. Don't forget tomorrow's rehearsal together at GOR Degrees Sena!"

"Ready brother!" answer Ary.

Ary stopped training and cleaned up his luggage while occasionally chugging the drink he brought from home. Ary rushes to the bathroom to change clothes, then goes home.

"Now it's half ten at night, meaning that until home you have to go to bed so that tomorrow the body is fit when the white swallow exercise." murmured Ary while walking home.

"Bun, Ary says yes!" ary said as he approached the mother who was cleaning the grass beside the house.

"So you left, you don't think you left? Be careful on the road, then go straight home do not wander anywhere!" mother's message.

"Yes mother, Ary's leaving. Assalamualaikum." Ary departs for GOR using his favorite mountain bike.

Although he bought a motorcycle for transportation, but he prefers to use a bicycle. Bicycle model guy in blue silver metallic, his 13th birthday gift. Ary is now 15 years old.

Ary arrived at GOR 20 minutes later, while if taken using the motor only 10 minutes.

When Ary entered the building, there was the sound of people calling out to him.

"Ary, Ary!"

"As familiar as his voice, who is it?" ary asked in his heart, he turned to the voice of the person who called out to him.

"Lho, sister Bayu is here too? Why brother?" ary asked as soon as she knew who called her.

Because Ary saw the clothes that Bayu was wearing, he began to ask again.

"Aren't you on the white swallow, too?"

"Yes, what's Ary doing? Want to see brother martial arts training?" Return to Ary.

"Well, cool sister! Already brown belt, assistant coach dong!" cry Ary.

"Keren brother, sister Bayu very cool!" he held out two thumbs of his hands. Ary did not expect to meet Bayu here, more shocked by the belt that Bayu wore.

"Ary came here to practice together, last night Adit said tell him to practice together here!" Ary explained his purpose of coming to the building.

"Oh so, let's quickly join them! But first change your clothes!" bayu said in response to Ary's explanation earlier.

Ary rushes towards the change of clothes, she changes her clothes and after that joins her friends.

Starting with a small run around the room to be used for exercise, and continued warming up. This is done to reduce the risk of injury during martial arts training.

Nearly two hours they practiced, finally finished as well. Finish their workout break while listening to the coach give a briefing and notice of an announcement about next week's training meeting.

"Next week there will be a level-up exam. Exams are applied to all members, including students of XX twigs. For it is expected to come on time and prepare your mental and physical!" said the senior coach whose age is already middle-aged.

After the announcement and the exercise disbanded Ary stepped out towards the parking lot. But he changed his clothes first. Once arrived at the parking lot, Bayu was waiting for Ary to be invited home together.

"Where is your bike? Let brother get it out."

Bayu immediately followed Ary from behind by taking his bike first. Bayu and Ary go home together on their bikes

"I thought you were riding a deck bike, didn't know the same thing. Both ride a bike." said Bayu align his bike next to Ary's bike.

Ary laughed at Bayu.

"I'd rather ride a bike than a motorcycle, except for emergencies. Like waking up afraid of being late or a broken bike. I think so." explained Ary.

"Sir Bayu himself why also ride a bike, even though if the school always carries a motorcycle?"

"So morning brother sports cycling in the town square. Continue the study Sunday morning, finish the study directly to the GOR white swallow exercise." Bayu explained the demands of his activities from the morning.

"Oh, pantes bring a kayak backpack mo transfer!" Ary responds to Bayu's explanation.

"This bag contains a change of clothes, let's not go back and forth. If you go back and forth, do not hunt all. If this is good, one way to get it all!"

"Waahhh, means brother Bayu does not shower huh ? Ih, it smells asem!" Ary starts teasing Bayu.

"Don't do it, smell the tau! I finished cycling, my sister took a shower. Now the stench of asem because of the white swallow exercise earlier, have not yet bathed again."

It did not feel like the intersection of the road to Bayu's house. Bayu also took a right turn towards his house.

"Sister turn here yes deck, home sister block E - 1, if when to stop by to visit home. Please! Our door is wide open" Bayu said.

"You be careful on the road, don't daydream!" continued.

"Yes brother! Siep, that's all right." Ary answered with a cry.

"Assynoltom..."

"Wa'alaikum greetings."

They also split up at the crossroads. Ary continued on his way to his home.

That night Ary called Enno and Candra. He told me about his training last afternoon which happened to meet Bayu. Ary tells with his spirit, to attract the suspicion of his friends.

"You smell of people falling in love!" enno said to be Ary.

"There's gonna be a free dinner soon, right, En?" Candra chimed in.

"What the hell, no! There's no such thing!" ary said firmly.

"That's why I slept! unfaithful friend, cook your own bullied friend."

"Cieee.. nambek nih ye.." cried Candra and Enno compact.

And the call was closed unilaterally by Ary. But Enno and Candra's phone lines are still connected.

"Can, nurut loe. Will it be them, Ary ma kak Bayu?" enno asked with all her curiosity.

"I'm not sure, because Ary's the guy's hard to guess! Don't interfere in other people's business" said Candra.

"Yes first, go to sleep! I'm so fucking sorry."
