FREAK GIRL AND PRINCE BROTHERS

Episode 19 - HELP FOR MIWON

Use instinct! Not memorization?

After the school anniversary event has passed for several weeks, Green High School students are again preoccupied with facing the 1st Semester Review. Especially the students in the XIIPS1 class who worked on the replay with the room separated into two parts. All students sit on the bench individually. They all looked ready, except for one of the guys sitting in the middle of the back row. He seemed to think hard, occasionally biting his pen. But not a single essay answer has been filled. Only the multiple choices were done.

 

The bell went home and rang. The supervising teacher asked the students to immediately leave the replay paper on their respective desks. The guy flinched and no matter what he had in mind right now, he wrote his answers lightning-fast.

"Miwon, the time is up,” the supervising teacher walked over to him. Miwon continued to write. “Please leave the paper there. The time is up,” the supervising teacher immediately picked up his paper. Miwon was unable to say anything. He just stared blankly at the departure of his friends and the supervising teacher. Miwon immediately grabbed her hair with a frustrated face.

“TIDAAAKKKKKK.!!!!”

...***...

“Oppa really lemes? No more pain, right?” Timmy was astonished to see Miwon was not as excited as ever. After the Indonesian repetition ended, Miwon went to Timmy, Afika, and Hami in the next room.

He walked like a zombie with leprosy, weak with power. His eyes were like those of someone who was still sleepy. He immediately sat on one of the benches and laid his body on

table top.

“Apes. I have read that book many times. Why not get into the brain anyway!” his weakness. Afika shook her head. He remembered Miwon who called him last night.

“Haahaa.. You are learning again! Hahey! Indonesian is so easy! Do what you learn again! Just think for a moment while flicking your fingers, you can definitely easily find the answer,”

The next day...

“Lho, are you still learning? The bell will ring soon. Come on, the spirit of my friends!!!” Miwon cheers Afika and Hami who are still reading books.

“Waah, oppa must have prepared themselves huh? Great!” praise Timmy sincerely. Afika looked at it for a moment.

“He didn't learn times.”

“Hah, not learning?” the girl was surprised. “So oppa rely cheat dong?!” guess it.

Miwon laughed out loud.

“Doing that replay doesn't have to be memorized. But by instinct,” he said while pointing his head.

“Miwon,” pangil Afika. The one called out immediately pointed out his wide smile. “The sea star has, Lost to the dark keel, Typhoon does not ask, Where will he go. Well, majas in the poem above is?” Miwon seemed to think. He thought by sitting down, squatting down, standing up, and sitting down again.

“Metaphora?” Afika. “Simile? Eeh.. metomonie?!” Afika nodded again. Miwon's mouth was open. Running out of words in his brain.

“Methonomia is not a metomonie. The answer is majas personification,” explained Afika. Miwon snatched Afika's book and read it from one sheet to another quickly.

Given that, made Afika ventured to take out her writing books. The books were placed in front of Miwon's desk. The guy who initially complained continued to be surprised when he saw the pile of books in front of him.

“That's your notebooks, right, Fik?” hami asked a bit confused. Afika nodded.

“Photocopy of my notes now. And learn everything,” Miwon stares doubtfully. “I know all this time you never once nyatet all subjects,” Deg! Miwon's heart was pounding a little. He did not expect that Afika had been paying attention to him all along. It was not only him who noticed Afika. The two looked at each other.

“Waduh, this child bego or how the hell? How never did it go?” dumel Hami with a look of wonder. While Miwon does not care about the people around him. He was still immersed in his own world. She's in the flower. He held his chest, feeling an extremely fast heartbeat.

“Duh, Afika. You really stole my heart,” his siss. Afika and her two friends looked at her in surprise. His mouth was wide open. Miwon regained consciousness. He transformed back into a cheerful man. He immediately stood up. “Fik, accompany me to photocopy!”

...***...

After the Indonesian repetition, Edelweis immediately put the stationery in his backpack. Mayang walked slowly closer to him. Mayang tried to talk back to Ed. Even though it had been a few days this guy had deliberately avoided it.

“Ed..,” call it.

“Edelweis! It's hard to repeat!” exclaim Tara. Wildam and Tara are in a different classroom to Ed and Mayang. They're going to pick up Ed. Tara just passed Mayang. Another thing with Wildam. The glasses guy greeted him. Ed immediately put on his backpack.

“Yes, a lot more progress,” complained Ed. They walked out of the classroom without seeing the still dumbstruck Mayang. “But I don't think it's too hard kok.”

“Yaa. if you have no doubt. Definitely ranked one more,” said Tara rather anxious. “Oh yes, photos and articles about school birthday yesterday I have collected on the mading table. You will check yourself later.”

“Finally can be finished too, right even though done alone?” sindir Edelweis while tilting his lips. Tara who felt shunned just laughed out loud.

They went down the stairs to the ground floor. Wildam seemed to want to say something. But repeatedly arrested. Her sister realized something was wrong with her brother.

“Kak why the hell? How come his mouth is ‘open-close’ like a goldfish?”

 

“Iya, Wil. You want to say something?” ask Ed too. Wildam breathed.

“You are not tired of what is constantly trading Mayang?” ed's steps stopped. Both of his friends stopped as well.

“Honey likes me,” said Ed later. Wildam was surprised to hear that. The other with

Tara who just said ‘oh!’

 

“It's not a surprise. I've known for a long time, ” Ed and Wildam turned to him. “The look in his eyes always looks different when he is with you. It's different if he's facing off against Wildam's sister. Without even being asked, the language of the body is enough to be used as proof.”

“Then you should reject it carefully, Ed. Not even avoiding him. Why are you so bad to her?” wildam said calmly.

Tara wanted to ask about who the girl was, but Ed continued his words again “She looks like a weak girl. He couldn't defend himself when people hurt him. Seeing that, it made me feel like I had to protect her.”

...***...

‘BRAAKK!’ the books are placed on the table. Afika accompanies Miwon to copy all her notebooks. Hami and Timmy went home first.

“Pak, please photocopy everything yes,” pak Tarmin, one of the employees who maintain the school cooperative gave a thumbs up to Miwon. “Thanks yes, beb. I will study all the matpels overnight,” Miwon said with a smile on Afika. While the girl who was smiling just stared at him flatly.

“Says you k-popers huh?” Afika started talking. Miwon nodded.  “But korean fever?” Miwon nodded his head.

“I love to read all the typical food menu there, like kimchi! Boyband and girl group are very disciplined and professional! Reality show, Comics too, keep going. Korean dramas, love it!” Afika did not think that Miwon liked all things that smelled Korean. Especially with Korean drama. In fact, usually those who like Korean drama are the majority of girls. ‘Cowok is really rare,’ he thought.

“I have a dream to set foot there. Aih, how beautiful the country is there, truly a worldly paradise!” muttered Miwon while hugging her own body. Afika patted her arm hard.

“Waduh!”

“Soaring dong! You were born in Indonesia and grew up in your own country. May boast of other countries, but do not let you amnesia with your own country of birth. One day if you make it there, do not forget the same country and people here,” said Afika at length. Miwon laughed out loud. Afika just scrunched her forehead. ‘What is he laughing at? What?!’?

“You are very sure that one day I can make it there. Of course, I will not forget my own country. I will always remember Ortu, brother Ed, friends, and also you.”

‘That serious look again. Sometimes I feel it's good that Miwon just showed me his brilliance. I will be comfortable with his friendly treatment. But somehow when she made such an expression, it made my chest tremble a little.'

Afika turned her eyes in the other direction. The atmosphere became a bit awkward. Miwon took something from his uniform pocket. He opened the plastic containing two hairpins with flower-shaped beads.

Then he stood up and put one of the clasps in Afika's hair. The girl tried to refuse him. But due to the embarrassment many people saw, he ended up just staying silent. After installing the brace, Miwon also put the other brace on the left side of her hair. Afika almost laughed seeing him.

“You are weird? Guys wear a hair clip?” he shouted while holding back laughter. Miwon was not clear.

“Yaa.. Nice dong spelled out weird! You're also weird, bangs all that way why not just cut it?” Afika turned her face away, pretending not to hear it. “But I think now the clamp looks much more beautiful because it sticks in the hair of the sweetest girl,” Afika fixated on hearing it. He did not want to look towards Miwon. That made him a little awkward later.

Miwon tried to see the face of Afika who kept avoiding eye contact with her. Miwon stopped looking at her with a wrinkled face. Nimble, Miwon stood up and looked right in front of Afika's face. Then he laughed out loud.

“Why can your face be that red?” he said while laughing. Afika is increasingly embarrassed because Miwon's voice sounds a bit loud so that makes people around so pay attention to them. “Kok didn't say thanks?”

So nervous, Afika only realized that twice Miwon had given her a gift of a hair clip. He never even thanked me.

“Still. Next time it's my turn to give you a gift,” said Afika as she looked the other way. Miwon laughed again.

“Alright, I wait ya!” Afika turned to Miwon who had just turned the other way. ‘Miwon, like that..,’

“Do you do to people you like?” Miwon looked quickly.

“What?” Miwon asked Afika to repeat the previous words. Suddenly, Afika felt short of breath. It was as if his heart was firmly tied with a bridle. Somehow he was carried away by the mood so that the words that should only appear in the heart were even thrown out of his mouth. Afika tried to lock her mouth. Seeing Afika being misbehaved made Miwon laugh again.

“Nduk, done,” Miwon immediately took the money in his pocket. Afika looked the other way. He doesn't care who doesn't stop laughing. Afika saw the motorcycle parking lot. Just as his eyes were blinking for a while, Edelweis was suddenly seen walking towards the motor park with his two friends. Afika just kept looking at him.

‘Ed, once you know my true feelings, will you stay away from me like Mayang?’

Afika felt sorry for making the friendship between Ed and Mayang divided. In addition, he considers if Ed has rejected Mayang and is not responsible to stay away from him. Just like him, Ed already knew his feelings. But he wanted Ed not to hate him either.

‘Ed, you don't hate me right?’ Afika asked in her heart. Whether the guy he liked could hear it or not, Ed's body turned back. Edelweis stood for a long time and finally he patted the shoulders of his two friends. Afika's eyes widened. The guy he had seen earlier, was now walking towards the school cooperative. Afika turned her gaze towards Miwon who was inspecting the sheet.

“Afika, what else is here?” the voice was well known to him. Already several times Afika dreamed of Edelweis to constantly call him. Afika's heart beat for a moment. This time it was real Edelweis called his name. He stood up immediately.

“Iya, Ed. I accompanied Miwon to photocopies,”

“Your pianom game is very good. I'm so glad to hear that. You won the third place, right? You can develop your talent by participating in various competitions,” he said with a big smile.

“Thank you, Ed,” he replied while looking down. Then he remembered something he had wanted to talk about for a long time. “Uhm.. Ed,” Ed tried to listen to him. “Maybe lately I have seen you no longer compact with Mayang. I admit that yesterday's incident was just a misunderstanding. Please don't stay away from him anymore. I know I was wrong. Because it accidentally made her express her feelings for you. I should have been shunned, not Mayang. I think staying away from someone who says they like it is not the right thing to do. If so, I can no longer be around you. All you know is that I like you too. I deserve to be shunned too.”

Edelweis smiled at it. ‘This girl always blames herself. Even to protect his cousin. You really are a good girl,’ thought.

“Actually that's not why I stayed away from him. I stayed away because I wanted to see him treat you well and acknowledge you as his cousin.”

“Di. Mayang is a good girl. She always helped me cook, helped me clean the house, and she apologized to me. That's enough, right?” it's fast while boring. Edelweis smiled and patted Afika softly on the shoulder.

“Eeh, sister anyway!” Miwon only realized that her brother was standing behind her. “Afika very good loh lent all his notes for the material I learned,” exclaimed Miwon girang. Edelweis clasped Miwon's neck with his arm.

“Your habits never change! Always late to collect homework and never take notes,” Miwon let go of her brother's arm.

“I'm sure that once I read the teacher's explanation, I will definitely understand,” said Miwon excited. Afika hits Miwon's arm again.

“Yaa.. don't need this anymore dong?” god Afika. He immediately picked up a pile of books and a copy sheet that had been licked. Miwon's mouth immediately gasped.

“Do not dong, Fik. I promise I'll learn it overnight. Even nosebleeds are okay. Yes, yes, yes?” Afika was unable to hold back her laughter anymore. Hugging books and photocopies tightly. Miwon tries to retrieve it, but Afika's decapitation is tightening. Afika continued to laugh and over time

Miwon. Ed was only surprised to see Miwon and Afika were cool themselves. He accidentally saw the clamp that was on top of Afika's hair.

‘Clearly Afika looks changed. Apparently it was the hair curler that made Afika's appearance change. When seen clearly, Afika looks even sweeter. Yes, his face looks brighter than before.'

Miwon accidentally bumped into her brother. But they did not fall. Afika immediately gave the striped paper to him. Ed's eyes saw the same clamp in his sister's hair. He thought that his sister was very familiar with Afika.

‘Maybe I'll talk about this to Miwon.’
