Gania & Mr. Thom

Ahcay's Words

"Aunt Bum said it, but that's not it, sir? I'm not that fat?", Gania asked with a serious face.

Mr. Thom just looked lazily at Gania. Really, fat from where? Even he suspected that if Gania deworming, this teenage girl ate a lot, but her body remained just like that.

Today Mr. Thom himself delivered Gania to his school. Since the kidnapping incident a few days ago, Gania likes to be escorted directly with Mr. Thom. Being near Mr. Thom makes Gania feel calm and comfortable. Master Thom's martial arts were also very reliable. If pitted against Izako, maybe Izako will lose.

Grandpa Hong once told me that Mr. Thom was born in a place where the kung fu style was first discovered. Gania often saw Mr. Thom train his martial arts. The\-movement does look like a\-like movement of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee in the movie\-movie. But Gania doesn't know much about martial arts. He only knows about fine art and word art.

Gania School is not like a regular public school, it focuses on the arts. Gania loved the art of painting and the art of word-stringing. He has made many books\-story books and fairy tale books. There are even dozens of paintings in the residence of Mr. Thom which is the work of Gania. Imagination is one of Gania's best skills. Although in fact he is more often imagining the strange\-strange.

"So Gan, if you're really afraid of fat, just hand over your rations for me or for Izako as well", Mr. Thom finally gave a solution.

Hearing that, Izako who was driving laughed.

"I don't mind Sir!" chirps Izako.

Gania shook her head quickly, however she would not be willing if she had to share her rations with anyone. Despite her fear of becoming fat, Gania is much more afraid of hunger.

Arriving at school Gania immediately greeted by friends\-best friends. There are 3 good friends of Gania at school, first Bella, second Reymond and third Ahcay. Everything is the same\- the same valuing art. As soon as he got out of the car, Gania headed straight for her three friends.

Mr. Thom opened the windshield, waving to Gania's three friends. Mr. Thom was already very familiar with the three of them. Gania often invites her close friends\-to play to Mr. Thom's house.

"For Gania, breakfast so much this morning?" Reymond asked directly.

"Why ask Rey? I have breakfast every morning."

"You need more energy today Gan. Look at Ahcay's face. Kuyu, shabby for mercy. Clearly keep everything\-objects like ropes, knives or broken glass away from it" Reymond explains.

Ahcay's face was tangled that morning. His eyes were puffy, like he had been crying all night. I don't know what kind of grief has just befallen his friend this one. Among the four of them, Ahcay is the most carefree and weirdest of friends.

"You why Cay? Cay's Toothache?", Gania impatiently wanted to know.

"Lingling, she was already betrothed by her father to a young professor from Germany", Bella answered Gania's curiosity.

Hearing the news, Gania was immediately shocked. As Ahcay's friend, Gania understands how much Ahcay loves Lingling. Ahcay was willing to sacrifice anything for his love for Lingling. It feels hit by bulldozer Ahcay also willingly origin for the sake of Lingling. At this time Gania understood that her friend had become a victim of heartbreak.

"You broke Cay's heart? Just because\-for your broken heart so this is Cay? There were many other girls besides Lingling Cay," spontaneously Gania spoke without thinking about Ahcay's feelings.

Ahcay leaves Gania, Bella and Reymond. His voice was high and clearly Ahcay looked angry at Gania. Gania was stunned by Ahcay's high voice. All this time his friend had never been this angry at him. Inside Gania's head was a big question, was she never in love at all? What's wrong with never falling in love? Guilt also began to creep into Gania's heart. He shouldn't have said that with Ahcay.

Gania, Bella and Reymond are in the object painting class. In this class, all students will paint a requested object. This time the object to be painted was a ball of feet. Even though only the foot ball is clearly this job is not an easy thing. Students must be able to create realistic paintings that are completely\-similar to the original object. Complicated details must be done as well as possible so that the painting looks exactly the same as the object that became the object of painting.

Gania is not focused on her paintings. In his head he kept thinking about Ahcay. What is the fate of Ahcay now? Gania wants to take Bella and Reymond out looking for Ahcay, but they seem to be finishing the painting. Gania decided to go alone.

"Sir Willy, Gania came out first huh. Gania wants to rest Gania's hand for a moment." Gania said goodbye to her realistic painting teacher. Sir Willy nodded with a smile.

This is one of the best things about attending art school. There is no specific lesson time schedule for students, except for entrance and return hours. There are no rules for staying in class. Students are free to choose which classes to attend that day. Even students are free to leave the classroom to find inspiration or just eliminate fatigue.

Artwork is something that comes from the heart and soul of the artist. An artist must complete his work with pleasure rather than with compulsion. So Gania can go out of the original room to report first, because basically he is also an artist for his work.

Gania knows the place where Ahcay spent time when he needed time alone, under a shady tree. The shade is perfect for resting a tired heart.

"I'm sorry Ahcay, I didn't mean to hurt your heart just now." Gania spoke in a soft voice right behind Ahcay.

Ahcay rested his shoulders on the trunk of a large wooden tree. Gania deliberately kept a little distance from Ahcay. He doesn't want to be too annoying.

"I love Lingling Gania. He is the owner of my heart. First love. It felt like the world was so dark when Lingling told me straight away that she was going to marry the young professor".

Gania was silent, she would not cut Ahcay's words.

"Are you really\really never in love with Gania?" Ahcay asked in a serious tone.

"I never" Gania answered briefly.

"Must be Gania, everyone must have fallen in love. You may not realize that you have been in love all this time. Until later the person you love wants to go with another, then you will feel the hot fire of jealousy burning the chest. At that time, Gania, you just understood that you've been in love."

Gania does not fully understand Ahcay's words. Ahcay never realized he loved Lingling. Ahcay realized his feelings just as his friend in the pottery art class liked Lingling and wanted to get close to Lingling. Ahcay didn't like it if anyone approached Lingling. It was then, Ahcay understood that he liked even Lingling. Lingling was his first love Ahcay. After realizing he loved Lingling, the more big the feeling.

Gania did not enter the object painting class again. He focused on accompanying Ahcay. Today, right under a big tree, Gania does not understand the words and feelings of Ahcay. But tomorrow night, Gania will be the one who understands the words the most, even completely.
