A UNITY THAT CANNOT BE UNITED

ELEVEN OR TEN ONE?

Ichi was still undergoing a healing period for two more days. His friends come to see him sometimes. The most frequent visits are Reva, Wafiq and Salwa.

The two girls were most pleased that Wafiq was in the group. He was a close relative of the high-ranking Alkhairaat, so it was easy to ask for something and easy to get permission from them.

Again, Reva always brings fruits. Fortunately because only the three of them appeared so the fruits did not run out quickly. The girl knew Ichi's favorite fruit as well. There are several red apples and pears there, in addition to grapes and watermelons that are directly divided and divided.

"Don't worry" said Salwa, when asking for their arrival because these three people often appear with him than other friends. "Wafiq has unlimited connections with policyholders in Alkhairaat.. After all, we're not looking anywhere, right?" knock the girl.

Ichi just nodded and no longer asked anything.

"The class is quiet if there's no you." Reva said and laughed, "No noise, no rame."

Ichi laughed, "Yes, never mind. Counting again empowers yourself not to shout in class." said Ichi.

Reva picked up an apple and stepped into the corner of the room. There's a small sink. He washed the fruit, removing the wax layer used to preserve the fruit so that it does not drift quickly. After making sure there were no more layers of wax left, Reva went back to the bed and sat on Ichi's side, handing the clean apple over to her best friend.

"You know Rahmi?" wafiq Fishing.

Ichi nodded, "What else is with him?"

"He made me like Salwa yesterday. If not Reva who mediates, I have told his head that." said Wafiq.

"What else did he do to get your anger out?" asked Ichi curiously.

"He said straight in class, that he was grateful that you were sick and prayed that you would never recover so that there would be no commotion in class" Wafiq replied.

Ichi growled, "Indeed that jerk is a person." he said with annoyance. "I think I should give a fist to his head so that his brain goes back to normal."

Wafiq laughed, "Eh, that's it. Heal yourself first." said the girl. "When it's healed, then you can make calculations with it."

"I can't wait to heal myself." said Ichi with enthusiasm.

The knock on the door made the four girls look up. The three friends immediately grinned at Ichi's red-hued face seeing a young man standing there. Looks like he's carrying a package.

"Waaahhhh.. There was a visit to nih yeee.." goda Wafiq looked at Ichi who felt hot steam enveloping his face.

"Wafiq, not funny ah." said Ichi with a frown.

"Can I come in?" ask the young man.

"Please enter Faisal's sister." call Reva, "We also want to quickly leave. Worrying will interfere." he glanced at Ichi with a mischievous smile.

"Is this all right?" said Ichi started to act a little angry.

"No need to be angry, Cesss.we know it." said Salwa who began to clamp down on Reva and Wafiq's arms, hinting them to get out of the way.

"Eh, uh. where are you going?" tanya Ichi started to panic.

"Alaah.. don't pretend to be deeehh.." - Goda Reva, "We know what Kak Fais is..."

"Eh, Fais and I have nothing to do!" ichi's toilet with a flutter while Faisal just smiled.

"You can stay here." said Faisal, "That's to keep no slander. We're not both mahram."

"No way." tangkis Wafiq, "We believe that Kak Faisal will not do anything Ichi really."

"Okay Faisal's sister, Ichi, we go first huh?" sahut Reva's.

"Have a good time." added Salwa.

"Three of you, you son of a bitch?!" sergeant Ichi but the three hurriedly left the room while laughing.

After they died, Faisal ventured deeper into the room. He was still standing at a safe distance from the bed occupied by Ichi. The young man placed the package on the nightstand near the bed.

"That's what, sister?" ask Ichi. "Here I brought the same fruits Reva."

"It's not fruits." said Faisal. "But food is loaded with vitamins and energy."

The young man opened the package and took out a few packets of biscuits. He counted.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, ten one. se." Faisal said.

"Wait." interrupted Ichi.

Faisal stopped his count and looked at Ichi, "Why?" ask the young man.

"Where's wrong?" faisal asked raising his eyebrows.

"It should count to ten, yes eleven...not ten one, ten two? funny." said Ichi then laughed.

Faisal smiled and explained, "The word of mercy is actually a sloppiness aka mispronunciation of the word reply, which is to resist the actions when people count from one to ten." faisal said as he clenched his hands in front of Ichi. "Then counted again one by one." continued Faisal while opening his fingers one by one until releasing back. The young man smiled.

"But there are also some other areas that count as one, ten two and so on. There's nothing wrong with that" Faisal said.

"But it sounds funny." said Ichi amused, "Indeed, where did Kak Fais get that knowledge again?"

Faisal smiled, "Sutan Mohammad Zain's Modern English Dictionary. You will find the term on the ninety-nine page" he replied calmly.

Ichi nodded with understanding. Faisal smiled then opened one of the biscuit wrappers and took out the contents, handing it to Ichi.

"Eat it and get well soon" Faisal said with a smile.

Ichi received the biscuit and smiled. "Thank you." she said softly.

Faisal nodded and watched Ichi who ate the biscuits slowly. Faisal then stepped towards the window and flicked the curtain slightly.

"Sister." call Ichi.

Faisal turned to look at Ichi who was sitting looking at him. The young man's eyebrows shot up. "What's up, Chi?"

"Are the two people who often bully big brother, already kapok?" ask Ichi.

Faisal developed a smile, "Alhamdulilah, already" he replied while nodding.

Ichi nodded. Then he asked again. "How to deal with people who don't like our existence?" ask Ichi.

"You mean?" faisal Fishing.

"I have many enemies. You know what I'm like?" Ichi.

"You look like a thug." ledek Faisal then laughed. "But don't worry."

"Oh, what brother? Is there a yes, gentleman?" hatch Ichi with a frown.

"don't know. But if you look at stories like Berandal Lokajaya, Robin of Sherwood, Veraapan of India, even the real legendary named Frank William Abagnale Junior, because you're not a thief, you're just..."

"What's free?" todong Ichi's.

"It's just too attention-grabbing" Faisal said with a smile. "There are rarely, you know, pretty-faced thugs." - teased Faisal.

"I'm not a thug" Ichi quickly said. "I don't like fighting the most, but I always fall into a state where I have to use my fists and kicks." he said.

Faisal nodded then smiled while looking down.

"Don't believe it?" tukas Ichi's.

"I believe... Earlier you wanted to find a solution to people who do not like your existence." Faisal replied to Ichi's affirmation earlier, "You want to know the answer?" faisal Fishing.

Ichi nodded quickly.

"Face it with a smile." Faisal replied with a smile.

"Facing with a smile? Brother didn't tell me to sing his song Once God 19, did he?" knock Ichi with squinting eyes.

"No." replied Faisal, "The point is actually easy. Life is easy formula. In social interaction, if you find yourself in people's speech, it actually means that you are actually popular with them. If you find yourself denigrated by others, it actually identifies you as superior to him. If you're being bullied by that person, you're actually cooler..."

"So?.." asked Ichi.

"Be biased in life.don't be swayed by your own opinions, even the opinions of others." replied Faisal, "In the face of life's problems, just follow your conscience."

"That means obey the feelings of dong." interrupted Ichi.

"No.." Faisal replied, shaking his head and explaining back. "The conscience is not a feeling, because the feeling can still be outwitted or denounced." he said then approached and sat on the side of the bed near Ichi and connected again. "That conscience is something in you, which even knows that you are not sincere" Faisal pointed to Ichi's left chest.

Ichi was shocked to hear Faisal's words. The young man got up and smiled.

"If anyone throws you with a stone, throw it back with a flower" Faisal said for a moment and then massaged his chin to look at Ichi, then connected. "Don't forget the pot."

Ichi laughed at Faisal's expression. The young man smiled to see the girl laughing.[]
