for just showing off.”

“Sarah! Please leave us alone.” Brother Sarah too
get off the couch and go to the exit. And here I am
now, left with 4 handsome men, 1 of whom is the
The monkey. Degs....Degs....Degs..... It was like being sentenced to hang, though,
hands are already sweating, body temperature suddenly cools plus the view
they keep on coming towards me.
“Who wants to start? Lo what am I, Yan?” ask James to the monkey.
“lo aja, broo!” I confirmed my slightly bent sitting position, I took the sofa cushion
next to me as a grip to eliminate this groggy feeling.
“Before I thank you very much for coming in time. My goal is to ask you to come
early in the morning, I have an offer for lo,” I ask what offer you want
he loved me.
“kan today last day lo part time in my restaurant, well, that time also I ever
appointment to lo if for example there is another part time vacancy, I will ngabarin lo.”
i'm cheering.
“continue, the vacancy already exists,” I ask again what it works as, whether waitress or
just washing dishes.
“Not Waitress nor the dishwasher, but lo ngajarin me piano and in the term
less than 3 months. You can do piano, how?” ask brother James.I
gotta think about this.
“but brother, I'm not so good at playing the piano.” I have a little doubt about the offer, but
on the other hand I want it too.
“Gue sure you can, Pril! The proof is coming home from
at that time, my family did not stop muji lo game.
Unfortunately you have gone home first anyway, hehehehehehe..” said sister Will.
makes me feel embarrassed. I finally changed my mind, I accepted the offer
time from James.
“Good Girl! How much do you want?” me
say enough one million five hundred only. My request made them
astounded.
“That's serious the price?” i'm nodding.
“weakness huh brother? if so as big as brother James just want to pay how much sincere dying, hehehehe..”.
I squeezed the cushion of the sofa in my lap. Brother James negotiated this together
his friends and it was agreed that I would be paid 7 million
his per-mingling. I was shocked and asked if not most
paying me that much is expensive. They answered no problem because of friends
them. I know exactly who they mean, of course the Monkey. This must be
it has to do with yesterday. I've guessed.
“but there are conditions, Pril, previously knew I was Reno, his brother Arian.” I shook his hand back. He read out the terms that both sides would agree to.
“there are only 3 terms, first you have to nginep at home Arian so as not to waste the cost, energy and
also time. Second, all your needs, from basic to tertiary needs we facilitated and lastly, my wife and I will be at your house this afternoon to ask your grandmother for permission.” I'm not sure if Grandma would give that kind of permission. Considering she's very protective.
“do for example grandma does not ngizinin?” he said don't worry about his permission later. It turns out that the brothers are the same level of kepedeannya.
“Now you can go home and this is your last payment.” Brother James handed the brown envelope to me.
“kan I haven't started work yet kak?” brother James insisted on asking me to accept it and told me to
home soon. He told me not to tell this to my grandmother. I thanked James very much and went out.
Before leaving, I looked for Sarah's sister who then came out of the kitchen while carrying a
what a beautiful parcel.
“This is for you!” I didn't think that was for me. I thanked him. Brother Sarah hugged me and advised to often play in this restaurant if you need part time. I laughed and then went home.
On the other hand, at home Arian has many people who come to bring some items that will be used later in April.for example, such as clothes, pants, shoes, and many more. Mbok Sum gave instructions to be more careful again to arrange the goods. Returning to the restaurant, Arian again questioned Reno's decision, what if later their parents returned to Indonesia, continue to misunderstand her presence.
“Taken Easy, Arian! I told them anyway, the intention was just to learn, no
more right?! Kalem.a..” Then Reno left because it was time to take Lina to the Mall.
Afternoon at grandma April
after the Ashar prayer, someone knocked on their door. Tiara, April's sister
he opened the door and found Reno and his wife coming along
by-by. Fatimah, April's grandmother invited them in and asked for April
to make drinks. They refused to subtly worry troublesomely.
Without further ado, Reno introduces herself and Lina and explains
the intention of their arrival here is to ask for permission to take April for a while
stay at home because they have been hired as a private teacher
pianos.
“why not here
just, Reno Boy? I'm afraid April is careless there, the person is senile.” Reno
looking at his wife meant that he would just change to explain, who knows
because of the women, they understand.
“Mbok just calm down, we
facilitation needs April, mbok. I would be responsible if
granddaughter mbok why later. So how's Mbok? If you doubt me, I will
back here once a week.” Fatimah seemed to think long until finally
he allowed them to take his granddaughter away on the condition of being guarded with
good.
Then April said goodbye and asked his grandmother's blessing so that he
always blessed at every step. Reno put down an April bag containing
her school uniform was in a car. Reno has already confirmed April
confirming the info he forgot, that is April just bring her school uniform
just. As if everything was in order, they said goodbye to Fatimah and left.
“Don't be stiff the same
us, Pril! Consider it a family of your own..” said sister Lina, I agree.
he looked towards the car window. Now there will be another story, though,
I should be able to be as comfortable as possible living at home with a monkey, my inner “cahyo”
and back to the view behind the car window. Lina remained
invited me to talk about school, hobbies, age.
“You've been a long time
live with grandma, Pril? Your parents are still alive, right?” ask Lina who
looking at me through the glass of the dashboard.
“Iya sis, from the age of 5
the year. Thank God brother, still.” My answer.
“Grandma you work? Or
hows it? And your parents don't stay with April?” Reno called him
and asked not to be too pampered with my personal life.
“So of Reno.”
Back Lina's sister who mocked Reno.
“Yaudah yes, but
don't be so intimate, honey.” A matching couple, Lina's sister is back
asking me the same thing.
“kalo grandma now
his job is just a masseuse, and about Ortu April, we do not live together,.”
kak Lina asked why, “yah because right I dijakarta school focus kak, kak,
the problem is in the area of kampung halamananku SD school until the High School is far away kak.”
greeted by Arian, Jemy, Will's sister, James' sister and both women who were not me
recognize name. Jemy took off the Monkey's arm and ran to hug me so
I got out of the car. I hugged back and asked how she was doing.
“April!” I look to
Brother Reno, “You go in first with Lina, yes!” Brother Lina took me inside
with the two women. “You to the backyard, all help mbok
sum used to make dinner. I want to show him where his room is, okay! Later
i'm following!” We parted, the two men went to the right and we went to the left.
“they
his best friend Brother Lin, huh? What's his sister's name?” I said while looking
paintings are displayed around this hallway.
“oh that one, yeah
they are my best friends from us smp. The one with short hair is called Dama, she's a candidate
his wife Will. kept that braided side earlier, her name is Maya, she's his wife
James.” Obviously Lina
“Keren friendship Brother
Lina can get to klop like her best friend Reno.” Kak Lina added, “That's
because those who ask to be known to my best friend through Reno, keep Reno
nyampein to me, I keep to Maya and Dama, they want and the ending can lo
see for yourself, hehehhehehehhe..”.Brother Lina is quite exciting as well as the person.
“Kalo
brother Reno, brother? married too?” I'm being with the Monkey.
“Arian mean lo?” me
nodding, “Boro-boro got married, graduated from school yet, Pril. He's still in 11th grade
and tomorrow's her first day she moves to a new school.” Evidently
“Hah?! Seriously brother?
I thought he married that, because it looks familiar like his best friend brother
Reno.” Lina laughed, I was so ashamed of her.
“Should have been him
has entered college semester 2 now, if at that time he did not vacate school
for 3 years since the departure of her grandmother.” I asked her why Arian
doing that ridiculous thing.
“You better ask yourself the same person, yes
Prill! Well, this is your room..” I was amazed at how good this room is.
A perfect minimalist concept with a bed that can also work
as couch. The right window position and a comfortable study table. Here
there are also many novels and comics on the bookshelf. I asked permission from Brother
Lina to photograph this room and here's the result.
I thank you very much Brother
Lina, I'm unceasingly fiddling with the stuff here. Then the monkey
enter while carrying my yellow bag next to his shoulder. I took it and
put it on the sidelines between the study table and the bookshelf there.
“Kak is awaited noh same
sister Maya in the backyard.” Said the monkey.”Oh, I forgot, you know that
sister stay yes, April, Rian. Please chat two.” We nodded and
sister Lina also left. I started unpacking the contents of my bag. tidying up the uniform and
put it in the closet. I told the monkey to slide the closet
not obstructed.. Finished that, I also compiled the writing books and package books
school drawer desk learning. The monkey offered to help me tidy up
these books, I politely declined them. Everything's settled!! Maybe it's time
I have to catch up with Lina and the others down.
“ayo Nyet down!” her
hold my hand and close the door I opened.
“gue to say
briefly.” he walked towards the study table and sat there. “Apaan?” me
go near her and sit on the bed. “Gue just wanted to give you some
warning before you start officially as my piano private teacher tomorrow.” I
raise my eyebrows, Ribet!
“First, you can't
log in to my room and play my keyboard without permission!” Lah? Wiz
how stupendous! “And last, no rejection if I tell you anything later. These conditions
valid as long as you become my private tutor, Deal?!” he extended his hand
at me. He thought I was a fool if it would be that easy to accept the terms
silly, I can't lose to this silly monkey.
I told him about what guarantees I would have
get it if I agree to terms from him. He gave me a card
pictured 12 zodiac signs to me. “make what?”.
“lo says guarantee right?
That's his guarantee.” I still don't understand what that means. I told you
to explain to him all this.
“Ke-12 that card is
guarantees that you can get as a reciprocal if you agree with
requirements from me earlier. You're free to ask me anything during that card
still there and each card has a limit of 5 days. Here you understand?” be able
also the tactics of this monkey, I happen to have a lot of desire that I have not
briefly materialized. “must be utilized in this woyy!” my mind and I returned the post
hand. We also agreed on the deal that was made.
In the back yard, dinner prep
finished, they just wait for the presence of April and Arian.
“Try calling Arian,
No! Long time ago boy.” Will who was impatient to immediately wail
the dinner table had Reno call Arian.
“Daddy, No! Tuh
the guy came in.” Said James waving to Arian and April. Jemy thundered
from Lina's lap and approached The two of them. Jeremy holds April's hand
and Arian. “How much does a monkey prince serasi with a dragonfly princess!” Exclaim James
on them. “You don't feel the aura Arian is warmer than
normally?” tanya Maya who does have the advantage of seeing the aura on herself
somebody's. “Iya! But if again deket April” said Dama. “Upss! Opinion of doang
hell, hehehehehe.”
Reno also thought the same thing to them, though,
since April came in his sister's life, he has become a little more open about his days and problems
which he faced. In fact, lately Arian is more of himself.
Reno sees her little sister turning back into an energetic Arian
and cheerful. “Casual! Anyway I agree, Da, same opinion lo, ye gak?” everything
nodding. The newly arrived April was confused by their gazes
full of smiles, “Sweet dinner rich man kayak gini times yak?” my inner
and dinner begins.
“Now
what class are you in, Pril? School where? Maya tries to get along with
April who from earlier was just silent as they all chatted “Hmmmm, I went to school in Pelita 7 Purnama sak, sak,
class 11.” Answer April. “That's you learning his piano self-taught or taking lessons
also?” Tanya Dama who then answered self-taught by April.
“Wah means you are one
school dong same Arian later” exciting Dama, “Hah?” April was shocked, then Reno
add, “Good dong. The spirit! If you can teach Rian nyayi
also, Pril! Let's not be shy when they match later.” they laugh. “all of you
show off yak, No, wkwkwkwkkw.” says Will.
“Hushhhhh this you,”
Maya claps Will's shoulder, “Learning is for learning science, not showing off.”
April laughs at how messed up James is trying to persuade Maya
pouting like a koi fish. Such a sight makes April deja vu,
it doesn't feel foreign.
