Four Strands: The State Children
15. TRAINING



There are words that feel very familiar to our ears.


Talent is everything, but...


A talented person without practice will lose to a person without training talent. People without talent who practice will lose to talented people who practice.


So the point remains to practice even if we don't know if we are talented or not, because the process will never betray results.


...


There are about 2 weeks left before the colossal dance stage begins. The training time which was originally only 3 times a week turned into every day including Saturday and Sunday.


Some of the protests were directed by parents to teachers of cultural arts, although regulations were issued by the school regarding the time limit of practice but not by the students, because the students want to show their best.


Approaching the day appear stronger smell of competition between classes. There are many words about the best class and also the class that is a champion candidate.


Azahra who was the representative of my class EO suddenly entered the classroom in a hurry. Previously Azahra attended a drawing meeting to appear.


"Well, what's the result." asked Kemal anxiously


The gasping Azahra only showed a smile of happiness. His expression made us all curious.


"Well, we've got some order to perform." shouted Rifky from the back of the class.


Azahra again just smiled "Udah pokonya now we continue the training only 2 hours before 5" said Azahra while looking at his watch


The princess who obviously looked very curious then clapped her hands and asked us to return to the formation. Without saying a single word to Azahra who only smiled from earlier, the Princess then played our colossal music "Let's repeat again from the initial dance, Hunters and Tigers are preparing in position."


His face clearly illustrates the annoyance to Azahra due to his childish nature. However, I myself could not do anything because Kemal who was a friend of Azahra since Junior High did not succeed in persuading Azahra.


"Okaya tetep defensein well rich earlier, now we will continue to the dance section together, we start from the dance before closing." cried the Princess, yelling, it is clear that the attitude of the Princess is much more mature than Azahra.


"Stop..." shouted the Princess, "Ehmm whose traditional dance part I want her hands more flexible, rich gini." continued the Princess while demonstrating her dance, obviously her abilities are very different from ours.


However, the thought of him making almost all of our choreography was incredible. Not only that he can also pay attention to all our movements.


"Balou see the breast of the Daughter." asked the Son to me


"This slap again, hahaha, I've been totally ingested." I replied with a laugh, of course it was all just a joke.


"Campret is you, hahaha." replied the Son


*Music has stopped*


"Wuhhuu, good work all." cried Azahra "Now pay attention to me first for a moment" he continued


I also shouted carelessly "If I had been careful of you before."


"Wow, thank you very much." Azahra replied with a smile towards me


Apparently Azahra who was in her best mood could be sweet like that, I think she could only behave like a romusha foreman, who forced her group members (especially me) to work hard.


Without giving any more reply to his reply I just fell silent. Azahra then stood in front of the class "So there's some information I want to take with me."


"First we get the order of performing 5th so in the middle of yes" said Azahra, all students suddenly shouted with excitement, including me.


I was standing behind the class leaning against the sliding table to pile up at the back of the class, while the rest were sitting on the floor facing Azahra.


The princess was standing not far from me, at the moment when the entire student was screaming in excitement for some reason my eyes suddenly turned towards the Princess.


A small smile mixed with fatigue was drawn on his face. I was silent and smiled at the Princess, maybe the Princess saw me smiling at her from the end of her eyes.


Suddenly the Princess looked at me and then I turned my gaze towards Rexi who was sitting under my feet.


Rifky then stood up and shouted "Oy this is all thanks to my do'a."


We laughed, too, and Kemal stood up to follow Rifky, and Kemal grabbed Rifky's shoulder and stroked Rifky's bald head "The prayer from our spiritual section is so powerful, hahaha." kemal said with a laugh.


Farel also stood up and approached Rifky and Kemal, "Sweet feeling the Rifky praying for a pitak on his head that grew hair" said Farel who increasingly provoked our laughter


Kemal then responded to Rifky's words while laughing "Ki, your pitak is clearly visible from afar."


Instead of refuting Rifky even asserted the words of Kemal which actually even invited our laughter


"Relax Ki, there I am, later pitak you I will wear pencil eyebrow color items so it does not look." I said


"Hahaha, you're bad Bal." Mutia lead


"Oh yes Bal good idea, it will fit to appear do not forget yes." said Rifky


"OK ready."


Azahra then stopped from laughing and asked us to pay attention to him again.


"Ehmm, the second announcement there is a slight change in the position of the stage, so it is smaller than before" said Azahra


The princess suddenly cut Azahra off "Many things don't change."


Azahra was silent for a moment "Ehmm, Actually the size just reduced a little but the stage which was originally 2 levels in the fox became 3 levels."


Suddenly the whole class became quiet, Azahra then took a marker, he then described the current stage condition on the board.


"Now that the stage is like this, this change is made at the request of cultural art teacher Pak Tono, so we cannot refuse" explained Azahra


Nana who was the 2nd secretary of the class stood up and approached Princess "His richness our formation will not change."


The princess then nodded "Silent our formation will not change, at most in some scenes must be adjusted for mastery of the stage."


"Ahh, I've been getting pictures for some of the scenes that you maskud" I said


While holding her chin with her index finger and thumb, the Princess made a gesture of thinking "Hmm, good if that's the case, I really want us to be able to mop up her new stage."


"Most of us can try fitting Art culture lessons." I reply


The princess then nodded, I laughed at her, with a questionable expression she asked me "Why are you laughing Bal, what's wrong."


"Hahaha, really, just a movement that you made a rich movement in the movies if the character is thinking." I reply


The princess then blushed in embarrassment. Kemal who suddenly stood next to Azahra hit the blackboard "Pa Tono, he is the 11th grade cultural arts teacher."


Azahra tried to calm down Kemal "Maybe because the 11th class a day after we perform will perform choir so the stage is tailored to the same choir needs, so no need to unload the pairs again."


Kemal still insisted "But why must be 2 weeks before performing, not from yesterday-try."


Azahra who had exhausted his patience for failing to calm Kemal, turned to scold Kemal "Mal useless you are angry too will not change anything, after all said the Princess also we do not need to change the formation."


"But I don't agree." Kemal remains angry


Azahra, who was furious, pinched Kemal's stomach and told him to sit back in his place.


The son then provokes Kemal "Mal, the defeat of the same girl, show dong who is the boss."


Kemal then tried to stand up, but night received a plot from Azahra that made him undo his intentions.


"To the pokonya there are no protests, only two information that I want to convey, so enough so." said Azahra


Azahra ralu look at his watch "Ehmm there are still 10 minutes before 5 hours it's up to you to go home or talk first about stage problems." continued Azahra


"Ehmm, please pay attention well, we will talk a little about her stage problems." cried the Princess


Then he stood up "OK."


"So like I said earlier, there will be no changes to the formation, but we have to re-examine who should be on the second and third first stages" explained the Princess


After that we talked about the problem of stage division, then discussed the mastery of the stage. The remaining 10 minutes of our time went so fast.


Without feeling the clock has shown at 5 and in accordance with the agreement that has been agreed between EO as a representative student and teacher of cultural arts. We have to go home and there should be no more training activities or anything like that, if caught, it will be sanctioned.
