Because Apples

The Absurd Covenant

It does not need to be the tallest and largest building to achieve the title as the cleanest building in the city.

That sentence deserves to be pinned on the apartment building occupied by Adam. The building also deserves the title as the greenest building in the city.

Even if you look at it from far away it looks so green.

Many indicators indicate that the seven-story building is appropriate. One of them is a balcony on each floor has green plants. Be it a plant or a vegetable. Many even grow toga.

In his unit, Adam chose to plant ornamental plants. The tongues of the in-laws and a few others filled the slots in that small place. There are only a few and still a few places to relax looking at the crowded city streets almost every day.

Same with the roof of the building.

The owners and residents agreed to use it as an organic vegetable growing land. They manage it together. The results are used for the needs of building residents. When sudden need.

Hygiene issues, no question. There's hardly any trash in this building. The standard of cleanliness here is arguably as level as buildings in Europe. No influence on the environment.

The building will definitely get that title, if only there were awards given. The government is too ‘sibuk’ to take care of things like this. In fact, this is one way to become an integrated city.

Not only from the aspect of the facility, but also needed recognition from the government for its citizens. Working behind cubicles is certainly more convenient than having to hotly review the location.

The occupants of the building are not upper class. Some work only as private workers or employees. But at least there is a sense of belonging to care for and care for.

When the new year, they gather on the roof of the building. Celebrate with other residents. Simple barbeque events they often do, just to not break the cord.

Comfortable, that's what Adam felt every time he interacted with other residents. There is no such thing as rich ass. Maybe individually, there are still those who feel superior.

Well, that's how he's been feeling all along.

“ Uhuu!! “

Adam's thoughts about where he lived were cut off. He nodded when he knew who was bothering him.

“ Far away! Disgust me, “

Now Dika the clucking, “ Yeah, so doang. “

The native Balinese youth took his place beside him. Start putting yourself to bed at the library table.

Don't think Leon and Affan's countrymen are coming. That's also the reason Adam comes here so often, nothing bothers him.

But not yet closed, they both woke up because the bell entered.

“ Lo non-return, Ka? “

Dika shook his head lazily, “ I jamkos. “

“ Very nice lo! I go first, right? “

There is no lawfulness. But Adam could see the nod of his best friend.

Dita's in class, but the lesson hasn't started yet.

“ Lo from where? “

“ From headquarters. “ replied Adam while taking the book out of his bag.

“ Perpus? “ Adam nodded.

Started to notice Dita who was teaching up front. The girl taught on a day that was never the same. It depends that he has empty lecture hours and no assignments from lecturers.

Also, Dita's parents are close friends with Deny. The one who recommended it was Vina, with the consent of the girl's parents. So, coming at any time is not a problem, as long as he keeps teaching.

“ Bentar, I think someone has not entered. Where's ryan? “ asked Dita to realize that one of her students does not exist.

“ Ryan is out of school, Mom. “

Frown, “ Not a school? Wh why? “

“ He has joined PB Djarum. So already moved there. “ said Vira clarify.

Yes, Adam's friend decided to pursue his hobby. Joined PB Tangkas from childhood, Ryan decided to move to PB Djarum Kudus. Alone, without parents or siblings.

It was actually a little late for him to decide to pursue badminton. Only at the age of 17 years Ryan chose athletes as his profession. Although it is not impossible he entered the senior team in the next one or two years.

The young man who played in the two numbers had only participated in the Asian Championship. Play in mixed doubles and men's doubles.

Badminton is one of the few sports that can develop and excel for Indonesia.

Not much sport like that. Between Adam and his best friend, only Ryan has high prospects as a professional athlete in Indonesia. Leon, Adam, Dika, and Affan seemed impossible to rival Ryan in their fields.

Affan with football, it is certain will never develop if a career here. Same with Dika. Basketball is popular, but many only make it a hobby and extracurricular, not a profession. Volleyball? Maybe it's still luckier.

There are many tarkam tournaments in Indonesia. But still, his fate could be like basketball.

Maybe it will be different story if a career in Europe. Almost certainly will develop and achieve.

Football lost to Malaysia, volleyball still competes with Thailand, basketball destroyed by the Philippines. It took an incredible young man to remodel this country.

“ Sok-sok an not afraid of everything, so don't know! “ satirizes Adam, who unfortunately can still be heard by Dita.

“ Did you say something, Dam? “ Adam shakes. We know that lie.

“ Meet me in the teacher room after the lesson! “ Decree Dita.

The young man breathed an annoyed breath.

“ Rasain lo! The same teacher has passed! “ says Dela.

***

The glass door of the teacher's room opened. No one noticed that because everyone was busy with their own business.

Adam stepped to the end of the room, to the table Dita was at.

“ What's up, Mom? “

Dita looks up, then smiles, “ You can sit down, Dam. “

“ So, what do you mean talk like that in class? “

Honestly Adam surprised, “ Seriously? Mom called me to that nanyain? “

Dita chuckles, “ Yes no! I want to know more about you. And don't call ‘Mu’! We are no longer in class. “

“ But still in school. “ said Adam.

“ Chk, we both doang, Dam! “

Adam chuckles. It seems not only Dita who likes to flirt, the opposite is also the same. Tease each other.

“ Want to ask what, hm? “

“ Chk, yes, ask what, anyway?! “

“ Everything. About your hobbies, your life, everything! “

“ Is that all? “

Dita nodded casually.

“ There is nothing else? “

“ Yes! Why anyway? “ Dita starting to growl.

“ Not why, “ replied Adam relaxed. Want to linger here because the teacher who should now be teaching has not come to his class.

“ Hence, answer dong! “

“ What was answered? “

Almost a vase of flowers in front of him he threw. Dita was already too upset because of this boy in front of her.

While Adam laughed loudly, making the whole room of the teacher turn his head. In a hurry he held his voice. Dita only smiled stiffly in response to the teacher's confused faces there.

“ If you want to ask about it, not now. “

“ Why? “

“ Will be long, Dit. I've memorized the same thing that is so. “

“ Make it short, Dam. I was really curious! “ says Dita.

“ Cake spirit aja curious, “

“ Very difficult, doang story. “

Adam cleared his throat, “ Not that. If I shorten it, you will continue it ‘kok can do so, how do you go, seriously?’, cake is like that. “

“ No, promise! “

“ Bullshit! “

“ Oi, language please!! “

Adam chuckles, “ Anytime, I tell you everything. Complete. “

“ Right huh? “ press Dita.

“ Yes. Why the hell, want to know? “

To be honest Dita also did not know why she was so curious about this young man in front of her. Adam was full of mystery waiting to be revealed.

“ I also don't know what the reason is. I'm interested in you, “

There was a pain clearly imprinted on the young man's forehead. Confused by the ambiguous answer issued by Dita.

“ Lupain! So, when are you free? “ Taken to shift topic.

Adam had a moment of doubt. But I chose to forget the ambiguous answer.

“ Anytime, “

“ Chk, the obvious dong!! “

Adam raised his hand, “ I don't know when. “

“ Gini, you have my number, right? “

“ There is no such thing, “ Adam shook his head.

“ Time anyway? Look at your HP! “

Adam's smartphone changed hands. Dita had no trouble because Adam did not lock his phone.

“ Now! I saved my number in your WA. I have your number too! I'll tell you if there's time! “

Adam received back his old smartphone, “ Dih! His name is kek gini! Very happy, “

There it says ‘Si Gorgeous’ as the contact name Dita. Adam then chose to remove and replace with his real name.

“ Well, don't replace dong! “

“ Bodo! “

Dita just grunts. Who is she, asking Adam to agree, the girl thought.

“ Can I go home from school? “

Adam shakes.

“ Nights? “

Smell again.

“ Tomorrow? “

“ Cannot, “

Dita clucked annoyed, “ Why the hell, all can not?! “

“ I'm busy. “ Adam replied casually.

His fingers danced on the phone screen.

A little while ago Dita thought. Trying to remember, what day he was also empty. Doesn't bother both.

“ When did you leave? “

The young man's eyes scoured the ceiling of the room, “ Saturday-Sunday empty. “

“ Yes, weekend! So Saturday after school huh?!! “

“ Just Sunday, I'm lazy on Saturday. “

“ Chk, yes! Sunday, 6 am while jogging!! Come to the park! Watch out if you're not coming!! “

The young man walked out, “ Bawel! Pretty-beautiful, fierce! “

“ I hear that!! “

Adam turned his head slightly, then stuck out his ignorant tongue.
