Failing to Run
8. Graduations



"Here you come with me!" suddenly Aldi's voice was behind the two of them and instantly pulled Nuke out of the classroom.


"Aldi.. is sick. iih Aldi do not go to the cake warehouse. My hands have not healed later tetanus again!"


"When do you tetanus?"


"Hmm I've been told to forget.. Yes in the warehouse also you push gw until it falls nancep nailed this one! It's gonna bleed again!"


"Yes, that's business later."


"Oh yes mumpung here I want to ask you, Praya is your job huh? I'm ajah."


"Why is that? Just got thumped so it's very crybaby anyway. LeBay to Singapore. Huhaha.."


"Aldi why is so evil. If you want to be angry, just do not go to Praya who does not know anything!"


"Gw don't like Praya that shows up in my life! He should still be a motorcycle boy who does not clean my face! I'm sick of Praya! Especially now lo deket-deket same Praya! Very gatel!""


"Aldi! Why do you think I'm the same as who? Why the hell do I have to play with who? I'm not your girlfriend! Lo aja lo's girlfriend biarin.. deket.... tandem.... eat meatballs.... in the first-class canteen..... it's Luna right?" Nuke jabber while squirming out to the cafeteria of first-class children who rarely come in their 3rd-graders. Nuke doesn't see Luna as Rivan. And what a woe Nuke did. Karuan aja Aldi directly sprained and want nyamperin Luna.


"Lunacrific Luna!"


"Eit..eeyy..eyy..Where are you going? Can't! Stay here.."


"Lo'm gonna beat up Rivan!"


"Don't don't let them study together again! Don't get me wrong." Nuke doesn't want Aldi to fight at school.


"Want them another blood transfusion even a mace that can be the same as I ngertii? Or his fate is the same as that of Praya!"


Nuke gawked at Aldi's back, there must have been a bloodbath. Suddenly Nuke had an idea.


"Nukeeee, you son of a bitch! Here lo!" yells Aldi


"Maap Aldi. accidentally. maap Aldi..." Nuke blurred after watering Aldi using a plant hose. But Aldi managed to chase after Nuke. Luna and Rivan run away from Aldi's commotion.


Nuke's mission thwarts Aldi Mukul Rivan. Because of this commotion the teacher at the school ordered that Aldi be away from Nuke, should not threaten each other and make trouble.


Actually Nuke was a little relieved because Aldi could no longer bully him. But not until there Aldi tetep can ngerjain Nuke through Luna who feel upset about the new hape Nuke from Aldi.


Luna begins to get jealous, so she uses Rivan to make Aldi jealous.

Nuke's been finding out a lot about Praya. But Praya is like being swallowed by the earth, no more news. Even Nuke asked the friends of Praya and they prefer to keep their mouths shut. Nuke finally gives up not knowing where to find Praya. Even Praya's social media appeared inactive. The whole family moved to Singapore.


These few months the state of the school is a little calmer as they are still each preparing for their final graduation exams. Everybody concentrates. So did Aldi and Nuke like a truce. Because it is also a threat from teachers to be more diligent in learning if it will not be difficult to graduate.


The day we wait for graduation day. Graduating from High School for Nuke is free from Aldi's most important. Sadly he had to part with Sinta who studied in the Netherlands


"We will rarely meet Sin, sad. If you go back to Jakarta you tell me.we have to meet."


"definitely. I'll be in the news too, lo cepetan has a new hp huh. Tell me to gw!"


"Gw already have a phone, in love with Aldi. Maybe replace the hape gw that he rusakin. But hapenya sophistication of the belly I open."


"Hadeeh lolot is lo! Say dong can teach me."


"Yes, how are you going?"


"Don't know if I'll see. Belom thought I could work first."


"Just be brave... We can chat and video call."

"Assynualaiuum... Nuke go home momuuu."


"Vaalaikumsalam.. How did you pass, son?"


"Pass dong bu.."


"Mom guessed it, this sweet mother's son would be smart."


"Mom.I work first ajah ma'am. College is expensive now. I don't plan to be a doctor. The school was difficult and long. Kasiahan mom if I have a long school, the cost is also great."


"Loh no! You have to go straight to school. I have a list of nursing academies, and you have a dormitory there. So you focus on college and practice. Let's not be a doctor like your ideals will be a nurse is almost similar."


"Kok me in the dorm, ma'am? Don't you want to take care of me anymore?" nuke Reduler


"What the hell is that.. There you are safe. You focus on college don't think about me."


"Mom have the money? Mahal loh Bu academy nurse tuh.."


"Udah exists. You know it's okay every month I'll pay, your pocket money will also be sent to your atm yes."


"Where are you going? Can I go home every week?"


"The plan is that mom wants to be a tkw in Malaysia, make your tuition. So take care of yourself here, son."


"What TKW? Danger loh Bu a lot who tortured his employer!"


"Mother is safe, I went there with my best friend to change her."


"Why did you just say it now? Suddenly, I'm gonna miss dong's mom?"


"There must be sacrifice and struggle. I want you to be a successful and happy person."


"I'm happy as long as mom keeps. I can work Mom we can live a decent life."


"Mom wants you to succeed more. I'll send tickets there. You're here in a good school. In the dormitory, you are safer. Mom's not worried. Because in the dormitory is strictly guarded. The rules are strict too. So I put her in the right place."


"Yes, if you have that plan, I follow. I'm happier with my real mother. I'm sad to be separated from my mother."


"Mother is also sad to have to part with you, but this is for our good. Not long time. If Nuke finishes college mom goes home to Jakarta."


"Promise ya buuu, I will study hard! Let the flu run and mom don't have to be tkw for long!"


"Yes mother promise. You finish fast no one repeats. I'll pay for college."


"Dong ma'am."
