Ai To Shiawase's

Ch. 23: Java, Yes?

...Who would have thought, it turns out that Rin is Javanese?...

...\=•\=•\=...

Hakuba's sister turned her gaze towards the man of my age whom she had drawn to do introduce herself. "Alright, Sister. You can start introducing yourself now. We will all wait" Hakuba said, asking her not to be ashamed and to immediately make an introduction.

The man looked around. He sighed softly. "I-I am Akira Suzuki, you can call me Akira. My hobbies are drawing and writing. I really like to make comics, but I never published them to the public. I'm afraid they're gonna mock my work. My favorite food is sushi. I really like eating sushi made by Kageyama Restaurant near this school" Akira said, telling a little of his life story.

Akira's story is very similar to mine. I was just as likely, less inclined to show my talent and preferred to hide it. However, the difference is, Akira was afraid to publish his work, while I was afraid that my mother would scold me. Because from the beginning, my mother always demanded that I become a CEO when I grew up.

He didn't care about his son's will. Hah .. I can't do anything either.

"Bahh ... Akira, sister also likes to eat sushi at Kageyama Restaurant, you know! We'll have lunch together sometime, okay? Hiya .... By the way, regarding the matter of Akira being afraid to publish the work is natural, yes. Not only Akira, many people in this world have thoughts like Akira. But, that action is actually not right," Hakuba said.

"If you have a hobby, don't be afraid to show it to others. The problem of haters that we will think later, the important thing is our intention is to channel our hobbies and make people happy. If someone says they don't like what you're doing, then don't be angry. Because people's tastes are different. You just tell the guy, if he doesn't like it, then please look for the work you like," Hakuba said, explaining the actions that should be used by Akira and everyone.

"The conclusion is, our intention to publish work is to channel hobbies. Stay focused on the people who love your work and forget the haters who always trample your work. They are the kind of people who have no job. His days were only used to add to sins. It's really not useful" Hakuba said in a statement to support Akira and everyone.

Hakuba smiled at Akira. "The spirit of making the comic, yes! If later you want to publish your work, do not forget to tell brother, you know! Brother wants to read your comic," said Hakuba.

Akira smiled faintly. "Gozaimazu Arigatou, Hakuba-san." Akira thanked Hakuba for helping open her eyes to see where her mistake lay.

"Together, Akira. All right, please sit down again." Hakuba then invited Akira to sit down again.

"Good!" Akira walked back to his desk.

Shortly after Akira sat down, Hakuba asked the disciples here one by one to introduce themselves. At that time, I began to recognize the students here. I know names, hobbies, to life stories that are fun and some are moving.

"Next, you!" It was Rin's turn to introduce himself. When appointed by Hakuba, Rin immediately stood up and walked forward. He seemed to have no doubt at all. "Waahh .. This is an example of a brave student. Do not hesitate and be ashamed if called forward. The brothers here are all good. Yes, maybe Kak Haru is the exception," said Hakuba teasing Kak Haru once again.

"What do you mean, hm?!" kak Haru asked angrily at the behavior of Hakuba Kak who always mocked him in front of the students.

Hakuba and all laughed. "Hihi .. just kidding. Just get angry, hmp, you grumpy!" tease Hakuba once again.

"Gmr ... It's up to you!" Kak Haru held back his anger and preferred to turn his face to look at the outside. Seen from his eyes, he harbored an enormous amount of anger. However, Hakuba seemed not to bother about it.

"Alright, don't mind that grumpy brother. Better, we just listen to the introduction of ourselves from our friend. "Please, Brother." Hakuba asked Rin to introduce herself.

"Hello all! I am Nakamura Rin. You can call me Rin. Don't ever call me Nakamura! Or you'll be sorry!" Rin began to introduce herself. Just at the beginning, Rin had started to show her strangeness.

"My hobby is playing social media on my phone. Sometimes, I also like to paint to fill my free time. My favorite food is .. huuffft ...." Rin took a deep breath. Oh no, something's wrong, I can feel it. "SUSHI, RAMEN, BURGER, PIZZA, FRIED RICE, CHICKEN, SASHIMI, AND MORE!" he continued to mention the names of his favorite foods. I've guessed.

"He? Ka-kakak ..," said Rin.

"MILHAHAHA ...." Everyone in this room laughed off guard, except Brother Haru. I couldn't hold my laughter either.

"No no. .. Just kidding." Hakuba covered her mouth with one hand. "Oh yes, continue the introduction, Rin!" tell it.

"A ... Hm .. hm ...!" Rin nodded his head twice, signaling that he agreed. "My idea is to be a police officer!" rin continued, saying that he aspired to become a police officer.

"GT ...." A teenage boy chuckled after Rin said that. He is Haru's sister. "Hey, don't fantasize too much! That woman can't do heavy things!" kak Haru said more to denigrate Rin, no. more precisely all women. Seeing that, it was clear that Hakuba did not remain silent.

"What do you mean blessing like that, hm? The woman cannot be looked at one eye. We women could have killed you, if we wanted to!" threaten Hakuba with a horrible tone.

"He? I'm just saying the facts, really. In fact, the woman was completely useless. They—" Not finished saying his kalimay, suddenly Hakuba immediately pulled the collar of the man's shirt. "If you dare say that again, then you will lose your head. Remember that!" threaten him again. Haru was instantly silent.

"Tck, just go ahead, Rin!" Hakuba's sister still looks upset.

"Alright, Brother. I-I am a girl of Japanese-Indonesian descent. My father was Japanese while my mother was Indonesian, more precisely Javanese. I moved to Japan because of my father's job demands. So, sorry if my Japanese pronunciation is less fluent," said Rin. Apparently, he also has Indonesian blood. It was fitting that, when I met him, I heard a medok sound like a sinden I had seen on television at that time.

"Waaa ... Java huh? Can you say a little Javanese? We really want to hear it ...," said Kak Hakuba curious about Javanese culture, as well as me.

"Hm .. okay. Sugeng Enjing, the conco-concoku!" rinn said in a language that sounded foreign to me. Could it be that it is Javanese?

"Su-sugeng en-ening, koco-koco?" Hakuba tried to follow Rin's words, but it was difficult.

"No, Brother. It's not. Su .. gang .. en .. jing." Rin taught Hakuba slowly, and I also learned.

"Su .. gang .. en .. jing." Finally Hakuba can imitate Rin's words.

"Well, like that, brother," said Rin with a happy smile.

"Wahh .. turned out to be difficult too, yes. Or indeed a brother who is not good hehe .... Then, what does this sugengu enjinge mean?" asked Hakuba who was really curious.

Rin happily replies, "That means 'good morning' ..," Rin explained.

"Oohhh. All right, thanks, Rin! Next time, I want to learn Javanese with you again, right? Hihi ...," said Hakuba.

"Byeah, sister," Rin briefly.
