“There are 2 reasons why humans learn so much


thing. First because they really want to know and the rest


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.
