“Yes sir, I am sorry, I will not repeat again. I want to learn back to school as before, I miss school, I miss my teachers.” Rio bowed before the investigators from the Police.
‘Alright, I will convey this regret, hopefully what you despise can forgive you.” The investigation team finished its job.
Rio was staring at the sky from Rutan's courtyard. It was blue that afternoon. His tired head he left to the clouds that were wandering to graze the blue sky. Will scramble to cover the blue sky, with a dark white blackened color.
The clouds kept moving to rule the sky. As the voice says, they are the sky, for they are above. Above because crawling evaporates from the blue sea water. The clouds were joking, that they were also as blue as the sky at sea.
Rio remembered the words of Ruscita ma'am. Don't waste your time.
“Thank you mom, I'll always remember mom. You're even better than my mother who gave birth to me. Your attention raised me, matured me, for whatever reason bu.” Rio's heart whispers reminiscing about his old school days. This pandemic turned everything ordinary into a new habit. New normal.
“New normal, ach I should also be a new kid. The child who is able to do the best for many people, at least, for my time at the moment. I realized I was still a very young boy. Look for attention here and there, do not want to learn, like to skip. Ach, I want to change, I have to change. For my life.” Rio smiled in his heart. His lips look curved upwards. There is new hope in his life.
“Rio, anyone wants to meet you.” The guard said to Rio.
Rio was escorted to the place of receiving the visit.
“Hai Rio, you okay Rio?” A few friends were waiting for him.
“You guys, hard to come here, why?” kanda Rio's.
“Not hard, we miss you Rio. Turns out your mischief makes us miss, ha ha ha.” The storm started with a joke. Anto laughed too.
“We pray, that you be freed quickly.” Circlap Sisca.
Rio smiled haru. Typhoon and Anto were moved. They felt that their friendship to date was very strong.
“Ya thank you all.” Rio answered weakly.
“ Yes Rio, after this we will be together again, with a new order, with a new way of life.” Anto added.
“You are healthy and diligent in praying yes!” Sisca emphasized, looking at Rio with a deep sense, hopeful and Sisca felt a big change in Rio.
“ All of you, my best friends. I thank you guys.” Rio looked at his friends one by one.
“Thank you to Miss Ruscita Rio, she's our homeroom teacher we love. He is steadfast in helping us as his students. He's sincere. Sincerely educate us.” Sela Sisca's.
“ Yes, Sis. I just realized it too. It turns out that Ms. Rus, not only as a teacher of our Chemistry subjects, she also guides our hearts, guiding us to become useful youth.” Anto added with his view.
“ Yes My friends, I am also now aware. There are important things that we must prepare from now on. All this time, we have only done ordinary things, even considered all useless. Turns out, life is a matter we have to learn. Tidaj easily make something as a lesson, because we are only busy looking for self-satisfaction.” Rio smoothly exposed the philosopher's view. His three friends looked at each other. They were astonished and unexpected.
“Bila can not be an evergreen tree on the hill, be a bush in the valley that decorates the trench, be a fir, if it can not be a tree. If you can't be a perdu, be a grass, which decorate the roadside.” ha ha ha ha, that I quote from the book of friends. Dale Carnegie's book quotes from Douglas Mallock.” Rio laughed with excitement.
Typhoon and Anto gaped, looking at each other, confused, clueless. Sisca smiled haru, and her eyes glazed over.
“You've changed Rio, you're great. I'm proud to be your friend.” Sisca squinted a tear, and she immediately wiped it with the ring finger of her left hand.
“We must change friends, we must change. This problem, this pandemic is a lesson for all of us. We have to change for the better. Changed to preserve our lives.” Rio continued.
“You guys now go home, I'm sure everything will be fine.”
Sisca then held onto Rio's shoulder. Typhoon and Anto smiled.
The New Normal gave new order and became the new civilization of man.
