HEY JUN

66

Juna looked one by one at the faces of the people sitting in front of him. Currently Juna is in the hall of Scholar High School. He is holding a limited meeting with the board of teachers and the principal of Scholar High School as well as to introduce himself as the new owner of the school.

Various expressions were revealed by the teachers who note bene former co-worker Juna. Some are flat, some are anxious, and some are red. It was indeed that sight that made Juna bother to hold back a laugh.

What happened to his former co-worker? Why do they look so tense? It feels like Juna's face is not creepy when compared to the initial owner of Scholar High School. Juna also felt that he did not show a cold and cold face in front of them.

Several times Juna stared at the screen of his phone to make sure whether his face was creepy or not? He was afraid that the image of the new school owner would be ugly on the first day he met his men.

"Good morning Mr. Mother of the board of teachers and the staff of TU. I welcome back to Scholar High School" said Mr. Zaini opened his speech.

"As we all know. If starting today the owner of Scholar High School changed people. That person is the man who cut the ribbon during the inauguration of the reopening of Scholar High School. He had not yet introduced himself. So on this occasion, I as the head of SMA will introduce the owner of the new Scholar High School" said Mr. Zaini then turned to look at Juna with a smile.

"Please to Mr.." Mr. Zaini's speech stopped. He does not know the name of the owner of the new Scholar High School.

Mr. Zaini hurriedly took out the paper in his pants pocket. He read a cheat sheet containing Juna's full name. However, when both netraannya read the writing printed on the paper. Mr. Zaini's mouth froze.

Mr. Zaini fixed his glasses many times. He was worried that the net minus would increase. The three words written on the paper really tickled his heart. Is it true if the name written is the name of the owner of the new Scholar High School.

"What's up, sir?" ask Juna.

Mr. Zaini shamed the horse. He nodded, trying to cover his astonishment. Juna, who was about to stand up, sat back down when he got the code if nothing happened.

"Sorry, Mr. Mother of the board of teachers and staff of TU. I repeat again. Begged Mr. Mayjuna July Agustino to stand on the podium to introduce himself while saying a word or two" said Mr. Zaini.

Silent. There was no applause accompanying Juna's trip to the podium. All the faces looked at Juna with strange expressions.

Juna smiled. He understood why his men responded that way. Juna tapped on the end of the microphone and started his speech.

"Good morning Mr. Mother of the board of teachers and the staff of TU. My name is Mayjuna July Agustino. I am the owner of the new Scholar High School."

Someone held up a hand. He is Andika, the teacher who became Juna's friend first.

"Interruption of the owner of the school. Sorry, if I pause your welcome. My father's name is unique. Whose calling is it?" ask Andika plain.

"Emmmhh. Usually people call me Mas Ju..."

"May's father" sambar Fira loudly.

Everyone turned to Fira. Fira immediately closed her mouth because she slipped. It's floundering, loud again. Fira could feel all eyes glaring at him. He who can only scratch his head that does not itch while grinning the horse.

"Can. If you want to call me by that name. I have no problem" said Juna.

Andika raised her hand again.

"Sorry, Mr. May. Actually it's not important. Without diminishing my respect for the Father. I want to ask again. Is it just my feeling or is it a unique Father name? Father's name is like a combination of the names of the months in English."

Juna laughed in his heart. He did not expect if Andika understood English vocabulary. Juna thought because Andika only understands Latin considering that Andika is a biology teacher who is accustomed to teach binomial nomenclature of living things.

"Hmmm.seems so. It's possible that my parents like to count the months so give it a name like that."

"Or maybe Mr. May was not born. So her mama was looking at the mulu calendar. Wondering when it was born? When was it born?" ceplos Fira again.

The people who were in that place compactly bit his lips to hold back a laugh. Mr. Zaini immediately got up to reprimand Fira. However, Juna gave the code for Mr. Zaini to remain seated. Because Juna actually likes Fira's jokes.

"Whose name are you?" ask Juna.

"Eh?" Fira was shocked to hear Juna question. As he remembered he had introduced himself when he met Juna for the first time. Fira still remembers if the owner of the new Scholar High School is the man he met at Bu Udin's stall.

Actually Fira had been deliberately seeking Juna's attention. Fira is no stranger to Juna. He chose silence and will investigate who owns the new Scholar High School slowly.

"Why silence, intern? What's your name?" ask Juna. Juna calls him an apprentice because he sees Fira wearing his campus alma mater.

"I'm Fira, sir."

"Fira?" repeat Juna again.

Fira nodded.

"If my name is Mayjuna July Agustino. Will you change your name to September October November?" juna Goda.

"Wih, Mr. May teases me!" exclaiming Fira while covering her face with both palms.

"May's mom is single, how about flirting with people's girls?" chirps Andika.

"Eh, no, sir. Want to be single or not to be able to tease the children of people origin not the child of the devil" said Fira again.

"Huuu...."

The other teachers cheered Fira. The cheers and laughter of the people present echoed in the hall. Now Juna's introductory event is far from formal. Their tense faces turned into rubber faces that did not stop laughing.

Mr. Zaini got up from his seat. He immediately approached Juna and took over the microphone. Mr. Zaini asked them to calm down.

Mr. Zaini ended Juna's introductions to the TU's board of teachers and staff. It feels too formal to speak in front of a podium like this.

Mr. Zaini immediately called Mr. Udin. He requested that the food that had been ordered be brought to the hall immediately.

It did not take long, Mr. Udin and his staff came to bring various kinds of tableware. Various foods are served on the table.

Juna took a long breath. I don't know why he remembered Lia's figure. Since then Juna observed one by one the faces of the teacher council present. There was no Lia there.

Juna did hope Lia still teaches at Scholar High School. At least he had some entertainment in this place. Juna was also curious if Lia could recognize him considering that no one in Scholar High School recognized him.

"Mrs May, where are you going?" asked Mr. Zaini when he saw Juna was about to leave the hall.

"I'm going out for a minute. You guys just eat it first."

"Didn't the food suit Mr May's taste? Sorry, we're just villagers. Our knowledge is a little. My wife can only cook this, Mr. May" Mr. Zaini said anxiously.

Juna shakes. Remembering Lia made Juna no appetite. Actually, Juna wants to go to Bu Udin stall, enjoy lontong pecel while remembering his memories there.

"There was a sudden call from Jakarta. I want to go downstairs first, I want to call back. You guys just eat. No need to hesitate" said Juna then ran away from the hall.

***

"Bu Udin, lontong pecel one, iced tea one, and fried tempenya two" Juna shouted as he arrived at Bu Udin's shop.

Bu Udin who was currently frying flour tempe of course shocked. He immediately turned around, ascertaining who had ordered the food in his stall. Bu Udin's face was increasingly unsettled when he saw Juna sitting in the middle bench while chewing crackers.

"The owner of the school why is he here?" ask Bu Udin in wonder.

"I want to eat, Mom. What's wrong with me coming here?" ask plain juna.

"Loh, Sir! Mr. Zaini has brought food from his house to eat together. Why don't you eat together? Why eat at the shop?" ask Bu Udin again.

"I miss Lontong pecel Bu Udin" replied Juna.

Miss Udin was shocked. How can the new school owner miss his lontong pecel? As Bu Udin remembered, he had never met Juna in his stall. Bu Udin did not remember if a month ago Juna also had a meal at his stall.

"Snap makes yes, Mom! I'm hungry."

Udin ma'am nodded. He immediately turned his body back and prepared a pecel lontong Juna order. Although in his heart he still thought about Juna's words earlier.

While waiting for her order to finish, Juna picked up the phone in her pocket. He called Athalia to ask how his wife was doing.

"Hello, baby! Where else?" ask Juna when the call is connected.

"At the hospital, Jun. Why?."

"Hmm.it's okay. I'm just worried."

"Is there anything else you want to talk about, Jun?" ask Atha again.

"Yes! I think I'll be here for the next few days. Honey, can't you catch me up here? I want you to see our house. Take leave! Follow me here" said Juna.

"Sorry, I can't! I've got a doctor's bond meeting in Jakarta, Jun. I'll be busy for the next week."

Juna took a long breath.

"If I haven't been back in a week, you should follow me here. There are many things I want to show you" said Juna lirih.

"I can't promise. Sorry, I hung up. I have an operation schedule" said Atha then he immediately disconnected the phone with one side.

Juna took a deep breath again. He returned languid. Juna pulled a plate containing lontong pecel that was proffered by Bu Udin. He ate it lethargic. Juna was sad because Atha could not accompany him here.

Juna did not know if the person expected to arrive was standing a few meters behind him. Atha hid behind a mango tree while observing Juna at Bu Udin's shop.
