Episode 27's



“Kak, now is not Saturday. Don't relax like that! Look at what time it is!” reprimand Maurin, my only sister.


“Consider this day off. My school hosts sporting events, no KBMs,” I replied as I sniffed my shoulders, downed the milk box from the fridge.


“Kakak dodging or how? Since when did your famous strict and disciplined school entertain its students only for such an event?”


“Away ‘that's like that' How do you mean? It's an annual sports festival, know!”


“But Big Brother is not involved! Why should I have a holiday too?!”


“Bawel, ah! Just tell me you're jealous because I got off early! HAHAHAHA!”


“Kakak curaaang! Take me to school then!”


“Enggaaaak! Bodo highly!” I answered immediately into the room and locked the door. There's a long line of drama episodes I have to watch today. Maurin banged while continuing to whine.


He stopped for a moment because there seemed to be a guest. Ah, I know that voice. Why did he have to come here so early in the morning?


“Kak Nikeee!!” my brother was enthusiastic. Well, right ‘kan?


“Waaah, cantiiik sister! I haven't seen Kamuuu for a long time!” nike hugged Maurin. I was just staring at the door of the room watching the drama.


“Dan hello! Brother Shira is a flat face who has not yet worn a uniform! Oh my goodness, Ra! Apple opening starts in half an hour, know!” exciting Nike. His voice really broke the peace of the morning atmosphere in my house.


“Do you think I was involved with the show? No ‘kan?” reply indifferently.


“Aduh, I understand your way of mind. Indeed there is no KBM, but that does not mean vacation and will not be diabsen. That's the same as truant, Ra!”


“Hee? Yes, it's okay to occasionally skip back?”


“Hei, senile! You yourself who yesterday taught me not to skip and diligently come to school!”


“Wah, wow! I can't believe my talk straight you swallowed it raw. Are you seriously going to school? Or just want to see someone compete?” I asked to make Nike grin.


“Ehe, caught. Yes, yes ... Waldi played today and I might have missed it,” answered Nike.


“Haha! Bucin!”


“Already, Ra! Quickly change sports uniforms! Anyway, today you have to accompany me to watch a basketball game! Than just idle at home!” said Nike. Miraculously, I also obey. A basketball game? Did the Eagle also compete today?


 ***


Nike and I arrived at the school when the apple formation was already forming on the ceremonial ground. The line increased because there were supporters from other schools. The two of us immediately adjusted, joining the ranks of students in black-gray sports uniforms. Yasinta with the PMR vest was right behind me, the head bobbles knowing I had just arrived.


The next half hour apple was completed along with the official start of this sports league. As soon as the line was disbanded, the center of the crowd moved around the sports hall. My school only opened basketball, volleyball, and badminton games, but the excitement did not diminish. Apparently it's not just exercise involved.


The stage of entertainment owned by music exkul began to noisily welcome all guests. Self-employment food and beverage booths line up neatly on the edge of the yard. Some children draped DLSR cameras in distinctive uniforms began to spread, they were members of the photography club that documented this event. One of the drone cameras flew low overhead, moving into the sports building. Nike grabbed my arm following the direction of the drone earlier, impatiently watching the basketball game. Spectators and supporters from eight schools filled the stands. It was early in the morning, but suddenly it was so bad. I never put up with a situation like this.


To be honest I'm more interested in watching badminton, but what power is stuck here. Nike for the sake of seeing the school basketball team enter the field screaming hysterically pleading the five players –though actually only one he noticed the most, Waldi the team captain who is his girlfriend. He was still raving a lot, explaining how difficult the opponent faced our school team which I obviously also knew. Rather than basketball, our school performed better in volleyball and badminton. However, at least this time I expect the basketball team to qualify for the finals and enter the top three.


Unfortunately, we had to swallow the disappointment until the second quarter. The score is too far. With such an opponent ability, I doubt the school team can turn things around in the next quarter. My taste in watching is getting worse. Reasoning to go to the toilet, Nike let me go. Somehow the air outside felt fresher, making me want to go around.


The booth can't just pass me by. My underclassman acquaintances are pretty good at seducing people to try their products. Next the game booth, sports-themed art exhibition, everything is so eye-catching.


“I heard the basketball team lagged far huh?” The boy next to me was chatting with his friend.


“That's it, just try Brother Eagle play too. Too bad talented players just be backup ‘kan?” sahut.


“Which Eagle brother?”


“Ah, that one, you know! I don't know what class he is either. It's rare to be in training, but I knew he was playing well. Rumor is he himself does not want to be positioned as a main player.”


“Wah, why?”


“Entai!”


“Hm, I just found out that my greatness is recognized by the public,” said someone masked beside me. His pair of eyes that are still visible indicate that there is a confident smile behind his mask.


“Se .. since when are you here, huh?!” irked me. What the fuck was that saying?! What does greatness mean if he does not want to intervene to help his team who are struggling on the field?!


“Do you have the right to forbid me from appearing anywhere?” he asked back. Ah, emotion fishing is really the talent of an Eagle!


“Hey, sick people! Shouldn't you lie down longer?!” my many.


“Hey, senile people! After saving you last night, do you think I should still lie down? You think I can stand idling at home?!”


“Ah, alright! Thanks for last night. You are still wearing that mask. I don't want to be near sick people let alone get infected!”


“Did you also forget yesterday to visit my house and still compete not to be close? Geez, I don't think your memory is so blunt!”


“Ah, whatever, Lang! How could I possibly win a debate with you! I surrender! You won, satisfied?!” my answer doesn't matter. The eagle just chuckled softly.


“No need to worry, I'm already fully healthy ...”


“What is worried about?!”


“ ... This mask is only for disguise,” he said.


“Cognition? What disguise ... oh, I get it! Order supervisor like you must be a security task force ‘kan?” my many. He seemed to smile wryly.


“Sorry yes, Shir! But your memory is really dull! You must have forgotten that I was out of the watchdog,” replied the Eagle made me pat the eel.


“Yeah, I totally forgot! Sorry if it reminds you and makes you sad! I didn't mean ...”


“Then, it's okay! I'm not sad, though! It was my own decision. After all being a security task force doesn't need to go undercover like this. The perfect disguise is completely mingled without wearing any flashy attributes,” he replied.


“Wah, you still memorize those principles. Are you really willing to get off the surveillance team? Are you sure you don't want to join again?”


“Rela? Actually no, anyway! Just so you know, actually I forgot myself that I'm not on the watchdog team. At first I did not want to come to school today, but because I remembered my duty to be a task force as usual I also left,” he replied. Obviously, he didn't want to go out.


“Then you also remember, it turns out you are no longer a member of the supervisor and do not need to be a task force. Finally not much you can do here ‘kan?”


“Yah, not really ...”


The Eagle's words were cut off when he received a phone call. The crowd made him have to activate the loud-speaker and I accidentally heard the conversation.


“Halo, Lang? You may come to school but not join the team! We are waiting for your cooperation, our condition is not lucky!”


“I'm still home, Di!”


“Don't joke! You are in front of the entertainment stage!”


“I'm in front of TV!”


“You wear a mask, there's a full-haired girl next to you. You can't fool me!”


The eagle clucked irritably and disconnected the phone.


“Sorry, I go first,” he said later. I just wave my hand. Good luck!


"Sir ..." The boy who was chatting next to me called out, “the update is Brother Eagle huh?”


“Iya, why?” I answered back asking.


“She was called to play ‘kan? Well, we can't miss it! Let's see!”


“Come, come!” his female friend replied after running towards the sports hall. I don't know why I followed them.


.Seriate.
