Black Room
School period



Later, togetherness in school will incarnate longing after graduation later.


****


A boisterous atmosphere greeted the school bell that had rung. All students leave their classes to go home. Only the first and second classes were allowed to go home. Third-graders must take additional lessons before facing the computer-based national exam.


Me and my three best friends walked to where our bikes were parked. Kantin tek rida is closed after the prayer. We left the school grounds to buy rice. Aldi and ijep are on my bike, and I'm on nando.


We bought packaged rice in a blessed ampera near the binjai junction. Ampera looks crowded by visitors. Aldi said in addition to the affordable price, the food here is also very good. Nando ordered two rice packs. We're waiting at the ampera. The Sumatran causeway is very crowded this afternoon. Private cars and container trucks raced with schoolchildren who had just returned home.


Aldi called out to the karin that passed in front of us. Karin stopped in front of an empty shophouse. Aldi approached his girlfriend across the street. Ijep followed aldi from behind. I took my BB out of my pants pocket. One message from mutia I haven't read.


"Good morning monday, Goblin 😘 . If it's hot in there, don't be hot. If it rains, do not rain 😂 The spirit of the school. Don't forget to eat. And don't stop at school"


I smiled after reading mutia's message. He called me goblin as a call darling. I call him a tangerbell. Goblin and tangerbell are the main roles in a Korean drama that is well-liked by mutia.


"Good afternoon windowbell 😘 How is your college? Hopefully good. The spirit of his research proposal. Don't forget to eat to be sick" I replied.


Aldi and Ijep are seen laughing across the street. Karin was still sitting on her bike. Karin said something to aldi before returning home. Aldi and ijep were joking after I got near. Nando also completed his task by carrying two plastic bags.


"It's your turn to take it" said Nando giving the plastic bag to ijep.


"Yes this is how friends behave if we are under" Sahut ijep down.


"Emang you ever been on a jep?" Aldi. We rode the bike laughing "And you're always under the jep" Aldi said


"Yah lowin aja cave continues" Sahut ijep with a pity face.


We laughed out loud. Our motor drove to school. Once at school we chose the old room as a place to eat. The old room would become a base for us to spend our rest by smoking there. Two rice packs we stretch into one. Then we started eating at the same time.


Laughter and jokes in our happiness will later become memories after graduation. We may part ways with the path we have chosen. Nando and ijep will try their luck by following the police and army selection, aldi plans to go to college, while I want to go far javanese kegegeri. This togetherness will be a longing someday.


We smoked after we finished eating. There is still half an hour left before afternoon school starts. My three best friends talked about computer-based national exams. This is the first time a national exam has been conducted on a computer. In the previous generation still use the writing test. My school will pass the exam at SMK 5 because the computer at school is still lacking. I listened to their chat on the porch reading a message from mutia.


"I've eaten goblins. Have you stepped back? My research proposal I've given to the supervising lecturer. Hopefully it can be acc quickly" Mutia's message.


"I'm also just ready to eat. I started studying this afternoon. In a minute. Thank goodness your proposal was already in place. Hopefully soon in acc. Amiin" Reply.


Cigarette smoke filled the old room covered by the leaves of a large tree in the middle of the room. We will follow the simulation before unbk. Unbk will be divided into three groups with three ships. Aldi told me about the information he got from buk yarnis. My blackberry is ringing.


"I want to go to the same transmart princess and nuna. Her daughter's boyfriend is coming too. You're the spirit of the afternoon school" Mutia's message.


The sound of a motor sounds in the ear. The motorbike entered the school grounds with a noise that was getting closer. My three best friends asked each other who the bike was. I was busy typing back mutia's message


"Yes, be careful on the road. Don't stop there. Remember, there is a heart you must take care of. Don't let the night go home either" I replied.


"Sir, he's looking at you" said aldi, who overheard a conversation beside the class.


"Yes?" Sahutku.


"Have you gone home, Doris?" Said someone whose voice I recognized. I stepped out of the old room. Sandro. What's he looking for me.


"Less tau ndro. But the bag is still there" said Doris.


Sandro turned. He smiled at me beside the old room. Sandro got off his bike and walked up to me. I invited him to sit in the old room. Sandro sat down with a pack of cigarettes out of his cell pocket. All three of my best friends are familiar with Sandro.


"This is where you spend your break time?" Ask sandro.


I'm nodding. "It's cold. What's looking for me?" My toot.


"I have news I want to tell you. It's sidori"


"Why dori?" I burned cigarettes. All three of my friends just kept quiet and listened to our conversation.


"He was arrested by the police"


"What?" My heart was surprised "When? Where's?"


"Yesternight"


"Where does he go now?"


"Dipolres. You didn't call him, did you?" Sandro tanyo.


I'm shaking. I have no communication with dori. The last time I met Dori was a month ago at her house. And what I told dori last month that's what happened.


"It's very bad that siberuang. I told him to be more careful"


"Not" Sandro objected, "He was caught not because of a drug case" Sandro explained.


"Then?"


"He was caught with a case of carrot rail iron theft he stole six months ago. There's just an igo message that makes dori have a problem with drugs"


"Look?" I'm getting curious. Igo is a human in the dark who also attended school at MAM tanjung ampalu. What happened to igo.


"Yes, igo sent a message 'dori why the goods have not arrived' of course the message was a question for the police. What stuff is meant?. But dori already replied that it was igo sending clothes. And I'm here to ask for help. Not really me. But dori asked for help. You know igo's house. So accompany me to meet him. Igo must escape before dori kelar problem"


I'm very worried. Not that I don't want to help. But the timing is not right. "I'm afternoon school"


"Ah, is it more important for your school than your friend who might be locked up for longer in a drug case that hit him? Dori will probably be locked up for only a few weeks because of the theft. He was saved because he was a schoolboy. But that's not the case if he's caught in a drug case. And igo, might be the next police target to prove dori's wrongdoing" Sandro said.


"Why don't you just try calling her?"


"The number is inactive. He also did not attend school. But his village first friend said he was still in the village"


I just kept quiet with all the worries. I really hate dealing with things like this.


"Come on, you're the only one who can help dori"


"Yes" I answered. "Uds. Please get me my bag. I may not be attending school this afternoon" I said.


Nando nodded. Aldi and ijep part into the local following nando. Sandro and I headed to the house igo diagarian durian gadang.
