Eps. 30. Under a Different Sky

Do not ask again about the motivation to learn a Brill, no different or unchanged, just change skin leaving a white gray period, now he is a student.

But unfortunately Brill to campus likes him only, because now much freer. Sometimes his absenteeism is pinned on a friend in exchange for something if his lecturer pays less attention to his students, or he goes into class briefly then goes out and shows up again when the learning is nearing completion nearing the signature of the absence.

“Nak Brill, let's get up now..”.

“Brill om... Brill!!”

Brill who finally woke up because his body was shaken om Markus auto protest with the way om Markus called himself.

“Iya.. yes... let's wake up Brill, today there is a semester exam...”.

“Males..”.

“Jeez, Brill...your grades in mid-semester C minus all, what will your IP be?”

“Stupid highly..."

"Brill, come on, think seriously for your own future..."

"Only think of it, I want to sleep again, don't disturb you!"

Brill's voice resembled a shout and a rough tone, but Markus om already thought of it as a whimper of a spoiled child, the child himself was not spoiled for him because it was taken care of in-laws, it was the son of someone else who took care of all things, it was a consequence of her work having to take care of Brill once every twenty-four hours.

"Brill..."

No speech, no movement.

"Brill, I have information on Rilly..."

The blanket blushed, the black eyes looked at a few seconds the face of Markus who was standing beside his bed. But...

"Don't want to know, stupid ahh."

Not curious but his reaction was like that, still opening his eyes like waiting for the continuation of the sentence om Markus. There was something that could not be covered in those facial ripples, great curiosity showing this guy's brain still held a memory about Rilly, she said, Brill still cares about Rilly despite the six months that have passed since they failed to meet in Jakarta.

"Rilly went to high school again in Jakarta..."

"That's what I know."

"There's more. om tell me more but have to get up first."

"No, I don't want to know."

Brill closed his eyes he knew that the info about Rilly was nothing new, it was om-nice, his body is lying on its stomach now. Om Markus sits on Brill's big bed. He must succeed in persuading Brill to go to college if he does not want Inggrid's mother.

There are fathers and mothers in this house now, after the term ends both mother and father live in this house more, the house is on a hill on the outskirts of Manado in the Batu Kota suburb with a view of the beach and the island of Manado Tua that always looks exotic when the sunset from the top of this hill.

Today there is no longer a campaign schedule and socialization program for Mr. James Ratulangi who advanced Manado pilwako, has entered a period of calm. If there is at home, the direction of attention of the mother of the best former regent version of an official institution in this country is the only child of the puppet.

Om Markus changed ways.This child really has a multi-layered defense for a passive attitude and does not care about anything, especially if he does not want to do something.

"Brill... Om is not always with you, though om often assume you are like your own child, you have to take care of yourself."

The large body under the black blanket was slightly moving, it was a sign that her sentence had just been listened to by her foster children. Om Markus continued his 'speech', somehow arousing his foster children to have at least one purpose in life, not stupid and apathetic constantly.

"Now, the mother and father are still strong can still make money, the business runs smoothly, maybe also the father wins pilwako. But who knows what life will be like in the next five years? You are the only child, how to continue your business if you don't know anything. don't prepare yourself, do not have the expertise..."

"Stop my lecture om, this is not a campus, want to show smart om also huh?"

Brill slammed one leg, his head still attached with his padded pillow with his eyes only opening slightly. Instead of waking up Brill actually pulled a black bedcover cover to cover up his head.

"He became smart after becoming an assistant to the Regent's mother and the father of the chairman of the Provincial Council... not smart but too bodo time with life alone..."

"Om ahhh! Om what am I? There out!"

Brill opens the bedcover and sleeps on his back while staring angrily at Markus. Om Markus was already immune to that menacing look.

"Om just telling the truth, you don't want your fate as much as a child official in this area who went viral because his hedon life, his IP until mentioned not until 2, means the same as you Brill, Brill, lazy college."

"I'm not involved in a case om, there can't be news about me, besides what I care about my IP one or two, I never want to go to college, you guys are forcing me."

Brill closed his eyes again then changed his sleeping position hugging the bolster.

"But I care, Brill... I don't want you to regret this for the next five years, to spend your college time in vain, to be a fool and useless to yourself especially to others."

"You don't care if that's it, get out!"

Hearing Brill's sentence suddenly in Mark's brain across a sentence, he smiled for a moment and then spoke with a slightly more intonated tone to manipulate his foster children...

"Allright.. okay... you don't want to care anymore about his life.okay, okay..hopefully there is a mother and father here.Om want to resign..."

Om Markus stood up from the bed and left the room with a step that was deliberately made to sound.

Five seconds later...

"Om??? What was that talking about?"

Markus stopped and turned to look at each other with his foster children. Brill shuffled his hair lazily, his eyes slightly narrowed still too reluctant to open actually.

"Om willing to resign, willing to stop. Salary om so far is enough for business capital, om do not want to take care of you again..."

Markus changed his expression. Everyone in this neighborhood is so smart to play soap operas.um Markus always sees Brill's temperament that can turn into another 'Brill' when his life needs drama. Now it's Markus's turn.

"Don't be kidding me..."

Brill is sitting on the bed now.

"Om not kidding, om no longer want to be scolded by mom because it's not good to take care of you..."

"Why did mommy do that? Om takes good care of me, mommy who never takes care of me, mommy has no right to get angry at me."

Brill quickly becomes angry at the mother.

"Eat him so that you don't have to be angry again, let's get ready to go to college, show mom that you can be proud, can be successful..."

"To succeed not only through college om time, many other ways."

"Yes, I know, but you just go to college and not be all right the other way"

"Depending on you. If you're cooperative, you want to regulate..."

"What the hell.o.m and aunt Rina can not stop, if om stop I will come back om home to the village om..."

This is like the words of a child, yes, Markus so feel is persuading a child since then, when the person is physically mature. Only, it can be understood why Brill to say that, he was so dependent on the om Markus and aunt Rina who had been with him for ten years more, he looked scared of losing the figure that became the real old man for him.

"Hahaha, can you be like that? Come on ahh, take a shower there."

As Markus soon passes from Brill's room, his threat succeeds this time. Reaching the exit threshold...

"Om..make all my duties."

"Huh??"

"Tuition, it's in my class group wa..."

"When is the end of the line, today is going to the semester exam, my God Brill is still hunting?"

"I don't know, check myself on my phone."

Brill got up and headed for the bathroom.

"Jeez Brill?"

Om Markus was wide-eyed when he saw the number of tasks in the group chat class, had passed the deadline and none of them were made by his foster children. Given the frequent absence of Brill college is a sign that his foster children will get a lot of E. Suddenly, Markus immediately felt his scalp itching all over.

"Good god this kid..."

In another life, across the ocean under a different sky, Rilly smiled with a smile as bright as the sun, how not... the numbers on his report were printed with results well above the Minimal Completion Terms, no remedial, for the first time. Although the class ranking number is 12 out of 39 students, it is more than decent when compared to the order of 3 from the bottom.

"Auntie goes straight to the office again, huh? Auntie's in a hurry to attend the meeting, you go home alone Rilly."

Aunt Isye who was walking by her side said after she finished talking on her phone.

"Yes... Thanks aunt took the time to come take Rilly's report. whereas aunt is so busy right..."

"Why do you still hesitate anyway, it's aunt's obligation..."

Rilly smiled, his heart was so flowery because of the value of his report card, it turned out that he was not stupid as he had thought so far, and because he felt the attention of Aunt Isye to him. Attention for attention sparked his passion to study hard and it yielded satisfactory results.

"Rill!!"

The sound of Giveel standing next to a car greets Rilly's eardrum as he and Aunt Isye reach the school parking lot.

"That's your friend Ril, auntie's leaving right away."

"Yes, but may I ask permission, my friend took me to his house today. They're Manado aunty..."

"Oh yeah? Wow sometime aunt wants acquaintance... Yes you can go there but don't forget to call oma, let oma not worry..."

"Yes aunty.thank you..."

Aunt Isye waved at Rilly then headed for her car that had been turned on by the driver, then tznte Isye who was always good for Rilly was immediately gone from Rilly's school. Rilly then approached Giveel.

"Where are you authorized to go to my house?"

"Udah. but I can't make it to the afternoon huh, pity oma, in that house just with sister and ART..."

"Yes, yes, let's go now..."

"Eh... You're bringing your own car now?"

"Yes, papi I'm kind, so he gave me permission but today only. Free I bought a real car, papi I was too protective so everyday I was escorted to the driver. That's it..."

Two girls who are now good friends are riding into a city car that looks luxurious. Giveel was quite agile driving his car.

"Where's your mom?"

"Mommy, I'm back on campus again, I got a matkul this afternoon..."

"Your mom's still in college?"

"Give college to be exact, my mother is a lecturer, she is bit again finished S3. Mami I really like to study, so it fits the profession..."

"You're Veel's youngest son?"

"I'm a second kid, Rill. I have a big brother, I've been in medical school, I still have a younger brother who is also in second grade..."

"Oh... So you're your own girl, your papa pantesan is protective of you..."

"Yes maybe too, hehehe..uh I happen to be my brother today came home, maybe already at home, a long time ago I know you to my brother deh, handsome guy, heh, but stiff and too serious. and one more, have never dated.. hehe, who knows my brother smitten with you, exclaimed ya hehehe..."

"What the hell is Veel..."

"You don't have a boyfriend, do you, Rill? The one that called wasn't your girlfriend, was it?"

"Veel... no. but do not talk about girlfriend or dating ah. just like you I also can not date before finishing school..."

"It's forbidden to have your aunt too?"

"Son... I forbid myself."

"Eh???"

Discussing about things like this always makes Rilly's memory bring up the name of someone who is far away in his home province...
