Martial Arts Training

Summer vacation is over. I live the rest of my time before I leave this village. I want to make a good impression at my school. I went to school with a sincere spirit and intention. Curious science with my determination to graduate with satisfactory results.

When I leave school. Many children return to their school uniforms. They were happy to go to school. Chat with his friends, tell each of his vacation experiences. It's so good to see it.

At a crossroads, I saw Alya who was leaving for school. Wearing a neat uniform, a school bag she was carrying, and with her hands holding the strap of the bag near her shoulders. I can only follow him from behind. His hair was long enough to cover most of the bag he was carrying.

I saw it from behind. It flashed through my mind about the male students in my school trying to approach her. Looking from behind like a female model walking gracefully. There are a lot of guys who like it. I thought like that, it seems that I am also one of them. And I just remembered that we were just friends. I kept walking behind him until I arrived at school.

Upon arrival at school, as usual we do learning activities. But because we already want the test, so we are more focused to discuss the material. Lessons about the sky and space were not in the test later, so my geography teacher did not mention the lesson at all since the discussion at that time. At recess, Jack, my friend, asked me.

“I heard you played with Alya on vacation? Is true?” ask Jack seriously. But she shrank her voice so Alya wouldn't hear it.

“Iya, where did you know?” many confused.

“Waw... how can? I envy you, Mal..” replies Jack who ignored my question.

I was confused and watched him speak.

“Maybe there is something he wants to tell you, but he cannot reveal it..” Jack said as he looked at Alya from his seat.

“You mean?” I'm a lot confused.

“You're aware right? A— Eee...— Already rested, I want to go to the canteen. You want to come?” reply Jack and had stammered then divert the conversation.

“No. I just want to read a book,” I replied to Jack who then he went out of class.

Soon the lesson bell rang and we continued our study as usual. After school I saw Alya heading to the library. I just saw it from a distance upstairs. Soon he left the library with a large number of books. Indeed, usually before the exam, especially the graduation exam, many students go to the library to borrow books.

But they read it in their own homes, not in the library. The library mother also allowed the books to be brought home for exam preparation. I, who was far away, saw him step his foot out the school gate. I haven't come home because I'm on a class picket today.

After the class picket was over, I rushed home from the school gate. But at the school gate I saw a rather old woman waiting there. I was surprised to see him and I went to him and asked.

“Excuse me, who are you waiting for?” I confused the woman politely.

“I'm waiting for Alya. Did you see it?” reply to the woman while looking into the school.

“Alya's been home since, Mom. Looks like he came home early because he wants to prepare for the graduation exam,” I replied to the woman.

“Oh... is that so? Usually he just comes home now,” he said.

“Oh yes. You know Alya? What's your name?” the woman asked me astonished.

“Iya. My name is Malka Syahnivir. Just call me Malka,”.

“So you're Malka? Alya told me about you once. But I didn't know at the time,” replied the woman was surprised.

“I Marsala. But people call me 'Master'. Nice to meet you,” reply.

“Master?” manya curious.

Tenyata Alya who I have known for martial arts. Her beautiful figure, beautiful posture, good attitude, and a little shy it turned out to be learning martial arts. Many people really like him. It seems like anything he can do. What a dream of men.

“The world is vast, Son. You'll be surprised to see everything. So they prepare themselves. One of them is to learn martial arts as self-protection. You want to join?” he said and invited me to learn martial arts.

“Sure, I need that preparation,” I replied accepting his offer.

“Good. Follow me,” reply fast and short.

“Now?” I was surprised to hear that.

I'm still in uniform to have to follow him to a place I don't know about. I remembered something. His steps led me to an obsolete station I had once been to. Before we get to the station. Marsala stopped her steps and said that this was her home. Full of sports equipment and his martial will was already visible from the front.

Master let me inside. Behind his house was a field wide enough for martial arts training. I saw Ellie, Ethan, and Gras training there. Those who saw me were surprised and happy because I also participated in this martial arts training.

When I approached them, they asked where Alya was now. I replied that he had been home from school for a long time while carrying quite a lot of books. Maybe he's preparing for the exam. They were confused and asked me why I didn't prepare as well. I replied that I would actually face the real test after I graduated from school. They're all confused with me. The conversation was cut short when the Master began his practice. And sure enough until after the rehearsal, Alya never came.

The exercise ends with a brief cooling. Then everyone rested on the sidelines. All of us who were exhausted suddenly the Master brought us a meal to ward off our hunger. Then proceed with a casual chat while enjoying the view of the melingsir basin.

“Mmm... I was confused,” Ellie said.

“Why?” my reply.

“Are we going to continue together? Can we reach our goal? Are we not going to be apart forever until the end of our lives?” tanyanya was sad while staring at the sight.

“Hopefully. Even though our bodies are separate. But our souls remain together.. Forever..” reply me expectantly while holding his shoulder.

“Iya. We are Synnepha. We will continue together, achieving our goals together,” Ethan added cheering us all on.

“I can't imagine it when we've made it later. What will we do after?” gras said while eating a piece of bread.

“Which for sure everything will be peaceful and more beautiful than this.” Ellie answered with confidence.

“More beautiful... More beautiful than this.” plus me staring at the scenery and full of hope.

We enjoyed the day at the end of the day by watching this peaceful scene. After it got dark, we went home. But before going home Gras was still pretty hungry.

“Is there no more food? At least one piece,” said Gras limp starving.

“Gras!” I shouted, Ethan and Ellie and looked at him seriously.

“Hehe. I can't go home like this,” replied Gras who looked fussy like a child.

“Well I'll take you home,” I replied while embracing a heavy Gras.

“Basic spoiled child!” syndicated Ellie.
