Forced Flow of Life

About Taste

Yosse was leaning in his car while holding his hand on his chest. Quite often he shifted his gaze from looking towards his house then to his watch, or vice versa. The upset face he showed because he had waited too long for Rindang to be ready, even though the day was getting noon.

It's still 05:45. But Rindang had to go to school immediately. The journey from home to school takes about an hour, if not jammed.

"God, what the hell is a child? It's not ready yet."

Yosse clucked, impatiently waiting for Rindang. But that doesn't diminish his looks. Yosse still looks very handsome with a body wrapped in a white shirt combined with ripped jeans, making it look neat but not stiff and even look relaxed.

"Rin hunt!" yosse shouted.

"But Bang."

Rindang ran over to Yosse. Yossa glanced at his twin sister with a lazy face because of waiting too long.

The leaf stopped in front of Yosse. He studied his brother's dress style.

"Wihh Abang's. Tumben once brother wear shirt? Well even though his subordinates are the thugs of the market anyway," said Rindang while holding his own chin, judging Yosse's appearance this morning. "Where the hell is Bang?"

Yosse scooped the face of Leaf with his hand. "Basar krok," Yosse sneered. "Yes brother want to bring you, continue later all play to Papa's company."

"Heleeh your style Bang," said Rindang without regard to Yosse's taunts. He was immune to Yosse's words.

In the midst of their conversation, Mr and Mrs Mellano approached them.

"Pa, Ma's leaving" said the two of them.

"Yes, be careful" said Mrs Mellano.

"Will it be at the office?" ask Mr. Mellano.

"Ohh so dong Pa,"

"Bang Bang is leaving." Rindang's voice interrupted the conversation between papa and child.

They immediately leave by using the services of a driver because they have not been allowed to bring their own car. They are under 17 years old.

On the other hand, Nisa invites her pal, Okta to go to school. He was ready in his full uniform.

At exactly 06.45 Rindang almost reached the school area. But he asks Yosse to drop him off at a bus stop near the school. He didn't want to shake up the whole school this morning.

"You sure you're only here?" asked Yosse hesitatingly.

"He'em Bang." Nisa nodded. "I don't want to destroy their perception of myself Bang. They thought I was poor from the beginning. If if they find out I got off this car, I could be mistaken for a stash of om Bang." Rindang chuckled imagining himself being bullied again.

"Amit-amit dah," said Rindang while tapping his own forehead.

"Why Rin?" Yosse was astonished to see the strange behavior of Rindang.

"Not really Bang. Bye," said Rindang while opening the car door. Rindang walked away from his brother.

Yosse stared at Rindang's back further away. But he still flinch there. The driver who was in charge of driving him, waited long enough for orders from Yosse but never heard it.

"Young Master, where are you going?" ask the driver to panic.

"So much sir."

Yosse was still waiting in the car. He was watching the view out there. Many teenagers in gray white uniforms began to arrive more and more crowded.

Until he saw the three figures of people he was waiting for. They are Dhika, Bagas, and Ivan. Yosse looked at them with a frenetic gaze seeing the three of them joking. Happiness mixed together into one plus a sense of longing. The relief he felt when he saw Dhika was fine.

"Gue hope you are happy always Dhik. I want you guys to nyamperin. But I have not had the courage to appear before you, especially lo Dhik. Because I'm a coward."

"Road sir," Yosse ordered after it was enough. The driver drove the car away from SMK Guna Bhakti area.

"Eh Dhik, when are you training for the race?" ask Bagas.

"After school, the plan is."

"Eleh, do you know who your duet partner is?" ask Ivan.

"That's it, um lo!"

It was not Dhika's answer that was heard, but Bagas who answered Ivan's question.

"Gue didn't ask you bege!"

"Just like,"

"Different, woii!"

"Haiss sak karepmu!" (meaning it's up to you)

"That's why if any info is heard. Dikasih ears are two pieces only served display," said Dhika. He shook his head slowly as he left Bagas and Ivan headed for class.

Bagas and Ivan immediately ran after Dhika.

Meanwhile, in class X BM 2, the commotion occurred due to the actions of a phenomenal couple who were endless. Matching pairs category arch-enemies. Who else if not Candy and Adi. There are things they fuss about.

"Scooby!!!" shouts tired Candy looking for her missing wiper. Though he wanted to use the eraser for value improvement.

"No"

Candy pointed towards Adi. Nisa just ber oh ria.

"Did you show me?" adi was suspicious.

"Well why Scoobydi? Isn't that Scooby Doo?" ask Marsha, the fat one who's the eater.

"Today he said rabies, so jaudah became his brother. Because his name is Adi yaudah it's Scoobydi."

The words that came from Candy's mouth successfully shook the entire class not to laugh. Adi the owner of the name put on a frown.

"Wahh really, really lo Zani!"

"What?!" challenge Candy.

"My eraser lo untit huh?"

Instantly he remembered his initial purpose he shouted. Candy accuses Adi who happens to be not far from her.

"Eh eleh, it's good that you accuse me carelessly," said Adi.

"Yakk! Who else if you don't take it?!"

"Eh Zani's. It's fine with horror." Adi stopped for a moment.

"GUE DON'T GRAB LO ERASERS!" yelled Adi near Candy's ear.

"The ugly Scoobydi is more than seven derivatives, CAN BUD*G I DENGER VOICES LO!" Candy replied to Adi.

Adi rubbed his ears that were ringing hearing Candy scream.

"I am crazy to really bud*g me," adi geruntu.

"Haihh it turns out you guys are a good fit. You guys even stole the start again. I've got a call dear," teased Okta.

"Ciyeee!" the class then laughed. Adi and Candy are indifferent, still busy with their affairs.

"Back my eraser in. Come on, it's important." Candy pleads while looking at Adi with a withered face.

"Yes-yes I don't know, taken abit kalik," said Adi nervously stared at Candy like that. This time he was honest. It wasn't him who took Candy's eraser.

"Well, how dong, I need it. Where is the fix in mathematics again. No eraser is cool," complains Candy. He often uses his eraser to choose answers that are difficult to answer.

"Udah deh Ken, you used to use mine," Nisa held out her eraser for Candy.

"Is this really Nis?" Nisa nodded.

Candy takes the eraser and says thanks to Nisa. Candy immediately left the class to the space used for value improvement.

"No remidi nis?" ask Okta. Nisa turned towards Okta.

"Not really Ta. That you?"

"Gue is also not really." said Okta although the value is not as good as the value of Nisa. Never once did he feel envious of the achievements of his best friend.

"Oh yeah, you've been singing practice hasn't done a duet singing competition?" ask Okta then.

"Yet Ta. The plan is after school."

"Do you know your duet partner?" ask Okta wonder.

"Udah, she's Dhika's sister."

"Wah wow. Indeed yes if the soul mate is not where ckckck," teased Okta.

"What the hell is Ta? Not a time either" Nisa said with a laugh. He just felt funny Okta to talk like that.

"Haih lo it's Nis. You don't know what? Like Kak Dhika has more of the same taste. Seen from his gaze to lo it is different. His attitude is different, too,"

"If you say no carelessly Ta. It's not possible."

Nisa does not believe Okta's words. Nisa thinks, how could a guy like Dhika like someone like her. He's just a farmer's son, while Dhika? Colongmerate child. Seen from there it is like heaven and earth. Lagian Nisa has no different taste for Dhika except affection as a friend and sister.

"In this world nothing is impossible Nis" Okta said.

Nisa did not respond to Okta's remarks. He ignored Okta's words.

Feeling neglected, Okta slapped Nisa's arm.

"Aihh Ta, sick to know."

Nisa grimaced in pain while Okta just stuck out her tongue.

"Btw Nis, why not later after the first break just practice? Anyway, today until tomorrow the schedule is only a doang remidi, while you have passed all," suggested Okta.

Nisa immediately turned on her dress without answering Okta's words. He searches for Dhika's number to ask her to practice after the first break. Dhika. It so happens that many Dhika values are close to perfect values, even perfect. So no need for repairs.

In the classroom, the atmosphere was so quiet. The peril of them following the repairs. Nisa and Okta decide to go to the cafeteria. Until the class only a few people left, including Adi.

Adi was still talking to two other people. He accidentally saw an eraser. He took it while smiling meaningfully. Sincerity is implied behind his smile. Adi observes the eraser carefully and then saves it without returning the eraser to the owner.
