JIWO PROMISE

Jiwo - Jawi's

In 1994, Jogja

Witri rushed to the ASPADA bus with a characteristic blue color that stopped in front of him.

There are still empty seats on the bus.

Here's how lucky we are to get a bus before six in the morning. Must have gotten a bus that tends to still be quiet.

But if it is more than half an hour and a half seven, it can be sure to be crowded by students who choose to get up during the day and arrive at school racing with the sound of an entrance sign bell.

And his heart cheered happily when he saw his favorite bench was uninhabited.

The bench next to the back door was his first favorite bench.

The second favorite bench is the bench in front of the back door.

Want to know why?

The first reason was obviously because it was close to the exit. Even if the bus is crowded, do not need to fight too hard to be able to get out of the bus that sometimes kernetnya not impatient waiting for passengers to get down a bit relaxed especially until both feet perfectly stepped on the ground.

The second reason is, if he goes in and sits in the back row, he is not too so 'view' free for other passengers.

The one who could see it was certainly just a fellow back row occupant.

It's different if we go up and down from the front door of the bus. We will be able to be seen by all the bus occupants as we stand. Especially if the bus is not full. It's definitely a free sight.

Witri's eyes blinked happily as she sat in her seat and suddenly saw Jiwo enter through the front door and immediately sit in the seat that was right behind the driver.

Seeing so much fun is like this, though, batin Witri while still staring at the chair where Jiwo sat quietly and even only seen the tip of his hair on the top end of the seat back and the tip of his shoes that nongol slightly to the side.

Jiwo, or his full name is Jiwo Lelono is his SD friend first. They are a pair of class champions. Of course Jiwo is champion one and Witri is champion both.

From the fifth grade of Elementary School, Witri had just begun to pay attention to Jiwo because it was hacked (fed) by his friends.

They like to be shouted at by the names Jawi-Jiwo, Jawitri and Jiwo.

So upset Witri had a cry and protest at her mammoth (mother) why she was named Jawitri, not Sawitri or Safitri, or Saputri all of you.

The flashback

**************

"You want to be called Sawi if you're called Sawitri?" ask mom at that time. Witri of course shook her head.

That's the name of the vegetable. Cook him called Sawi?

"If Jawitri, the call was all sweet. Jawi or Witri. Sweet right?" ask mom while smiling.

"Witri is sweet, Mommy. But if I call Jawi I'm kesel!" sulcan Witri's.

"Why? Would good. Jawi, Java. You are a Javanese girl" Mamak explained.

"Not good wong dipacokke Karo Jiwo. (people betrothed to Jiwo). Jawi Jiwo's...Jiwo Jawi.gitu, Mom. My whole!" shoot Witri on her mama who is frying tempe for her lunch side dish.

Her mama laughed amusedly and made Witri even more upset.

"Yes not papa. Kan Jiwo is a good boy, a pinter boy too right? Don't be ashamed. It's good for parapane (his nickname/nickname). Jiwo Jawi's. Good." said mamak increasingly make Witri upset at that time.

But in fact, get upset. His friends seemed to be indifferent to the irritation he always showed. His bullies and protests are mentally useless to the ears of his friends.

Moreover, there is no 'help resistance' at all from Jiwo for him.

Jiwo relaxed when matedekin their friends with their iconic call it.

He even just chose to lower his face whenever Witri looked at him fiercely.

Witri is famous fierce and tomboyish. Jiwo carries calm and almost noiseless every day.

But increasingly the day finally Witri began to get used to it and began to be able to accept that his name is always on the line with the name Jiwo but that does not mean his friendship with Jiwo became familiar.

Not at all.

They remain two opposite poles.

They never interact at all.

Just dare to steal a look at each other in class.

Witri of course ogah if you have to say hello first.

Is she a girl what's the first guy to fuck? Sorry dorry morry is yaw....

And the one-day break in front of the bathroom was the only moment that made their relationship - Witri said of course - special.

Without the wind without rain, Jiwo blocked his new step out of the bathroom and directly held out two pieces of Yosan gum wrapped in red and blue on him.

"Happy birthday" he said without an intro as he held out the gum.

Witri who was shocked automatically just received a helping of his favorite candy.

"Do you know that I'm a birthday?" witri asked with a suspicious look.

Jiwo looked embarrassed.

"Know it.kan I like you." replied Jiwo while looking at him shyly and then lowered his head.

Witri.

Likey? This little Pencil body said you liked it just now?

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" ask Jiwo to the point.

"Huh?" ask Witri in shock.

"Responsor. Hunts caught by temen-temen. Later you will be embarrassed." urged Jiwo with a wobbly head, reassuring that the condition remains stagnant when the business of shooting is not clear.

"Yes!" witri answered without being able to think first.

"Him being my girlfriend?" jiwo asked with a happy face.

"Yes! The hunt's gone there!" drive Witri away with a fierce face.

"Yes...Thank you, Jawi." said Jiwo cheerfully before running away leaving Witri alone who was fixated on staring at two birthday present chewing gum from Jiwo, his first girlfriend.

But somehow, even though it was made, the next days of interaction between Jawi-Jiwo there was no significant change.

Jiwo remained quiet to anyone. And Witri remains fierce to anyone, except Jiwo.

From the first, it was only with Jiwo that Witri was rarely fierce because the child had never disturbed Witri, even impressed very distance and very carefully behaved to anyone.

Because of that, Witri's anger was never ignited by Jiwo.

The difference is only now they often steal each other's eyes and quietly throw each other smiles during class hours.

Flashback off

**************

Witri's eyes did not look away from where Jiwo was sitting.

Why didn't he look at things for a moment so I could see his face?! witri's inner grunt was upset.

"The same two who sat behind the driver were yes, Mas" Witri said as she pointed at Jiwo while holding out a hundred rupiah note on the kernet before descending.

"Pacare must. (definitely his girlfriend.)." ledek Mas kernet bus only reply small smile by Witri.

"So your girl's paid for it" said Mas Kernet as Jiwo extended the fare to her.

"Who?" ask Jiwo surprised.

"The waist-length, tall, black, sweet chick came down at Maguwo's SMEA." explained Mas Kernet with a smile.

Jiwo smiled as his heart suddenly warmed.

I can tell it was Jawitri. The girl he loved for years.

Jawi...Why don't you call me if you know we're a bus?

"Pinter lehmu golek chick, Le. (Pinter you're dancing with the girl, Le)." praise Mas Kernet with a smile.

"Sweet yes, Mas?" asked Jiwo while blushing.

"Yes. Sweet. But it seems fierce." said Mas kernet with a laugh.

"Yes. He was fierce." Jiwo said with a laugh.

Jiwo's memory drifted to the past SD when he saw Jawi raging to beat Johan with a broomstick because Johan joked by waving his cheek.

The flashback

**************

Johan who was nosy was beaten by Jawi to tears silently.

No one can stop Jawi's rampage at that time because anyone who blocks it will be hit by a broomstick as well.

Until finally Jiwo stood beside Johan who was grimacing in pain.

"Yes already. Johan has been kapok." that's all Jiwo said and Witri immediately threw a broom that he had been holding towards Johan.

"Once again you are, I beat you even harder. Mbok think I what, dijawil-jawil sak karepmu?! (What do you think I am, in towel-towel as you like?!).

Although his face was still grumbling and angry, but Witri had left Johan with Jiwo.

"Yes ibuuun...What kind of possessed girl is that? It really is, Wo. Good thing you came here, if you don't come here I'm the same as him" Johan said, wiping his tears.

"Tomorrow do not repeat. I will also hit you if you disturb him again" Jiwo said with a flat face but with a threatening look.

"Weeeeh, why do you think he is? You like her?" ask Johan to be mocked.

After all, Jiwo has not been a nosy child like himself.

Jiwo brings calm though friendly.

"Yes. He's my girlfriend." replied Jiwo flat which made Johan gawk then wide-eyed.

But Jiwo's flat voice was clearly inversely proportional to his heart that was half dead.

Why am I telling you she's my girlfriend...?

"Jawi-Jiwo is really dating." Johan said in between his laughter and grimacing.

Flashback off

**************

Jiwo quickly stepped into his school as soon as he got off the bus.

From Gejayan Street he still has to walk east quite far to reach his school.

The school he dreamed of since elementary school.

Thank God he was finally accepted at this STM.

"If your own way please conditioned lips, do not smile yourself." Lukman's voice that was suddenly beside him surprised Jiwo.

His best friend was most like to make him shocked by appearing suddenly.

"Why are you so happy? Got another love letter?" ask Lukman curiously.

Yes, Jiwo does often get love letters from girls who often ride the bus with him.

The love letter is usually obtained from the girls of two SMEA whose school is passed by a bus that Jiwo boarded every morning.

One of those SMEA was Witri's school.

"So I got a bus with Witri" Jiwo said with a happy face.

"Waaaah, did you guys have a chat?" ask Lukman to be happy.

"He paid for my bis." Jiwo said again.

You guys are talking?" ask Lukman enthusiastically.

"No...."

"Yeahhh....Be fat! You must be afraid." said Lukman quickly.

"I didn't know she was with me. I know that after he gets off, I want to pay for the bus, he said he was paid for it." Jiwo said.

"Heiiissss, suck! Love sucks!" said Lukman annoyed while kicking pan tat Jiwo pissed himself.

Jiwo just grimaced in shame.

For millennials it may be somewhat confused with the terms SMEA and STM yes...😀😀😀

SMEA \= High School of Economics.

STM \= Secondary Technical School.

SMEA and STM are SMA/SMU equivalents now.

SMEA for economics/business.

STM for engineering/machine field.

SMKK for food and tourism.

SMSR for art.

SMIK for the craft industry.

Now the vocational schools are merged into one with the title SMK (Vocational High School).
