Two weeks later.
Juna walked towards his study at Scholar High School while whistling. He has been absent for two weeks at Scholar High School. The safari trip given by Kiara really made him feel at home and forget about time. Kiara only gave him a one-week ration during his time in Africa. However, Juna was flattered. He was too busy hunting wild animals so that his vacation rations increased.
Luckily, Kiara did not mind. Kiara even offers Juna a vacation in Africa for two more weeks. Juna of course refused. He didn't want to be too comfortable in the wilderness. Juna was afraid of being lazy to forget his duties and obligations. Although living in the wilderness is very exciting according to Juna, he still has to be aware of where the place is.
"Well, where did Mr May come from? How's it getting darker?" greet Mr. Udin. He ran in waves when he saw Juna carrying two large plastic bags in his hands.
Juna grinned the horse. Mr. Udin was right. For two weeks in Africa make Juna's skin dark again. Juna's more activities in the open space make it often exposed to sunlight. Juna seemed to return to his original condition when he had not been completely transformed by Lily and Dira.
"May was asked even a smile. Where the hell is it, sir? How does it look so happy?."
Mr. Udin immediately took over the plastic bag that Juna had brought. They then walked towards Juna's study.
"He he he, sorry Mr. Udin. I am very happy. After two weeks of vacation, my heart and mind went back to plong" said Juna.
"Where is Mr May? The people on nyariin tuh."
"I'm going to Africa, sir" Juna said.
"Africa? Where is it, Father?" Mr. Udin scratched his non-itchy head.
"I don't know where either. I know Africa is very far away. There are lots of forests and grasslands. There are a lot of wild animals too, sir" Juna said. He told me with passion to Mr. Udin.
"Oh, Mr. May is weird! If you just want to see the same forest grassland, behind the house I can also. Lots of animals too. No need to go all the way to Africa" said Mr. Udin.
Chequek.
Mr. Udin opened the door to Juna's study. He invited Juna to enter. Juna who was indeed happy, of course stepped cheerfully. He doesn't stop whistling, like a man in love.
"Where will the plastic bag be placed, sir?" ask Mr. Udin.
Juna did not answer. He just gave the code with his index finger. Juna's mouth is still busy whistling, his habit when in Africa carried over to Indonesia.
"Where is Mr Udin going?" asked Juna when he saw Mr. Udin turning his body about to leave.
"I want to go back to the front, sir. Mr May still need to be with me?."
Juna shakes. He called Mr. Udin and told him to sit. Mr. Udin directly according. He walked out of Juna's room. Seen Juna was busy scrambling the contents of the plastic bag he was carrying earlier. What's the content anyway? Why did Juna get so serious as to ruffle through the contents?
"I have a gift for Mr. Udin."
"Eh? Really? Is that Sir?" ask Mr. Udin. His face instantly brightened when he heard the word souvenir from Juna.
"This is for Mr. Udin."
Juna thrust two leaves to Mr. Udin. The leaves are wide and dry. The smile on Mr. Udin's face instantly dimmed. He received the leaf with a confused face.
"This is a gift, sir?" ask Mr. Udin to make sure.
"Yes, Mr. Udin. I took that leaf in Africa. I took it hard because I had to fight with the rhino first" said Juna fiery.
The corner of Mr. Udin's lips was pulled to the side. He stared at the leaf giving Juna with question marks.
'Mr May went all the way to Africa just to get some leaves? Is it not less work? There are also many leaves, stay pickled. No need to use the same war as rhinos'
"Sir Udin why silence? Less the same leaves? I brought a lot. If Mr. Udin wants, I give him again."
"Eh, uh, uh, no need for Mr. May. I have no shortage of leaves. I just think this leaf will be made what because it is so wide like a tablecloth" said Mr. Udin.
"Oh, just make a lontong wrap. It can be a lot."
Juna's answer successfully made Pak Udin gaping. He hurriedly said goodbye to Juna for fear that his head would throb if he continued talking to Juna.
"Please, get Andika into my room, yes, sir!" yelled Juna as Mr. Udin went further and further.
Tok.dok....
Andika went straight into Juna's study without being told. He pulled the chair in front of Juna and sat down immediately.
"Where are there two weeks?" ask Andika without further ado.
Since knowing if the owner of Scholar High School is Juna, Andika's arrogance immediately disappears instantly.
"I'm going to Africa."
"Africa? Why?" ask Andika in shock.
"Safari trips. This I brought by-by. Share it with others!."
Juna handed over a plastic bag he had brought to Andika. Andika accepted with pleasure. However, his heart instantly dimmed when he saw the contents of the plastic bag. Piles of dried leaves that do not know what the benefits are.
"Daun's? Seriously by-his leaves?."
Juna nodded.
"You're still sane, aren't you Jun? You think we're all goats? People out of the country also brought souvenirs of chocolate, candy, milk, bread, not Jun leaves" Andika protested with a rather high voice.
"That leaves I took in the African jungle, Dika. Not easily. Have to fight first, shoot with elephants, rhinos, hari...."
"Udah, Juni! The leaves I share with my friends" said Andika cold. He deliberately cut off Juna's speech to quickly finish and change the topic.
"Oh yes, Jun. There are people who want to see you."
"Who?" ask Juna curiously.
"There is."
"Tomorrow afternoon at my cafe. How's it?."
Juna took his cell phone. He checks his work schedule for tomorrow.
"Tomorrow my afternoon free, Dika."
"Sip! After school directly otw my cafe. Do you remember the way?" asked Andika who immediately answered Juna with a nod of his head.

"Junaa...."
Andika shouted while waving her hands at Juna. Juna who saw Andika's mysterious figure immediately walked up to his desk.
A little surprised by the appearance of the table occupied Andika. There is a lot of food being served. Starting from burgers, fries, spaghetti and waffles. Juna also saw three cups of tea, three cups of juice, and three bottles of mineral water.
What's the matter? Why are there so many plates and cups here? Did Andika invite anyone other than Juna? As if Juna was indeed Andika said if there was someone who wanted to invite him to meet. Juna thought only one person. Why are the plates and glasses so many?
"Sit, Jun! Taste the opening food first" Andika's orders were immediately embraced by Juna.
Juna picked up the avocado juice that was in front of him. Not to forget he plucked fries as his snack. The fries run out, Juna moves to take the waffle. The food with the help of meises made Juna tempted.
"less, Jun? If you want more, I'll have the chef make it."
Juna shakes. He was already full enough to taste the fries and waffles. He does not want to be too full, worried about being sleepy.
"Do you want anyone to see me? Where's?" ask Juna.
Andika glanced at her watch.
"Maybe it's still on the way, Juni. Understandably, he's never been on time since he had a tail."
The tail? Hearing that word made Juna guess if the people who would meet him were a group of arisan mothers. I don't know what they're going to discuss with Juna. Maybe the mothers want to offer instalments of pots, pans, and other kitchen utensils.
"Well, that's it!."
Andika pointed at a woman who was holding a baby. The woman immediately smiled when she saw Andika waving her hand towards her.
Juna scrunched his forehead. He felt no stranger to the woman. However, it was not Juna's name if he immediately remembered it. Juna chose silence, trying to remember who was sitting next to Andika.
"This is Mr Juna?" ask the woman to Andika.
Andika nodded.
"Cock different? Yesterday when you sent her picture was not like this" said the woman again.
Juna was silent. He was confused to hold their conversation.
"Juna just got back from Africa. Most play with elephants so it's dark like this."
"AFRICA???? What's Juna sir doing there?" yelled the woman.
"Can I ask you before?" juna said while scratching his neck.
"What do you want to ask, Jun?" ask Andika.
"Who is this woman? How do I feel familiar?."
The two female netra instantly glared. He did not expect that Juna would not recognize him. As for Andika, she held back a laugh when she heard Juna's innocent question.
"Don't you remember him, Jun?."
Juna shakes.
"He's Hani, Jun."
"Honey?" juna Beo. He was no stranger to the name Andika spoke. But again because this was Juna then he could not remember it.
"Sir Juna, evil! Spouting Lia has not taught at Scholar High School, Pak Juna forgot Lia" he said sulking.
"Lia? That math teacher?" ask Juna to make sure.
"Yes, Sir. This is Lia who used to eat together at Bu Udin's shop" Lia pursed her lips. He was upset that Juna had forgotten about him.
"Geez, Lia! Sorry, I don't recognize you! Why are you so swollen? It used to be pretty and pretty. It's fitting that I don't recognize you" Juna honestly said.
Andika chuckles. He could not help but laugh as a result of Juna's words.
"Pak Juna is a bad boy. Cook Lia spelled swollen. Naturally dong Lia is swollen like this. Lia already has a child. Still breastfeeding time anyway" grumbled Lia annoyed.
"Yes.. Unnatural. You're crooked like Kiara's seven months pregnant. Didn't Noval give you rations to the salon? Look, you're so different."
Lia throws a tissue box at Juna. He was getting annoyed because Juna kept teasing him. It is admitted Lia if she is not like before. Since giving birth, Lia has become indifferent with appearance. The mockery of Juna really made his heart pinch. Tomorrow he'll be holding Noval to give him more money. Lia wants treatment. She wants to be beautiful again like before.
"Hani, don't pout. Let's eat first! Later we continue chatting" asked Andika to shift the topic of conversation.
Lia remained pouting. He was still thinking about Juna's words.
"Lia.." call Juna.
Lia looking up.
"No offense. Even if you're swollen, you're still pretty."
Melted....!!!! I want to feel like Lia hanging on a cerme tree.
