JODOHKU CLASSMATE

DON'T KNOW YOU

Flashbacks!

"Hurry up deck don't let go! 10 Count you must get to the field!" Dana yells at the adek level during the selection exercise Paskibraka (Heritage Flag Raising Force) for August 17.

Dana is actively participating in activities at school. Not infrequently he represented the school to follow Paskibraka in the city square. But not for this year. Dana had to choose not to follow Paskibraka in the square because she had to follow the marching band on the same day. Therefore, he trained really adek level to replace it.

At that time, he was in the 9th grade of Junior High. Not many people can represent the school to follow Paskibraka. Only 3 people from the Junior High School level can join 45 other people from various SMA in the city.

"Why is it too late?" dana said to one of the adek levels.

"Ready! my hat was left in the classroom!"

"Put you forward!" climb that level and then get out of line and move forward.

"You hear! if there are 1 wrong person in your ranks, then everything will be messed up! especially if someone is late! you are candidates for Paskibraka! whether serving in school or in the city later you must remember, your formation must be intact! gotcha?"

"Ready, gotcha!"

"Your friends are late! should I do what he is?"

"Ready, push up 20 times!" said one in the line.

"You hear that?"

"Ready listen!" Answer the late rate. He changed his position to prepare for push-ups.

"One, two!"

"Stop!" Dana stopped.

"You all remember? One wrong!" Dana shouted the motto in the team.

"Ready, all wrong!" said everyone in the line.

Everyone in the line took distance to take the punishment. Education inside Paskibraka is a little harsh. They should apply the motto of the soul of corsa and the spirit of nationalism in every action.

The initial selection was chosen by Paskibraka last year. Therefore, Dana and some of her friends held a rehearsal at school. The alumni of Paskibraka are deliberately not memorizing the name of each level adek. All they know is the sequence number of the line that has been determined from the beginning. This is so that there is no cheating in the election.

When she was done, Dana trained them as usual. For him this is a fun routine as well as exhausting. Happy because you can share knowledge, tired because not only energy is drained. But the voice must also be drained.

Flashback off!

......................

Dana rode the Awan car lazily. He just sat facing out the window. There was no conversation between the two of them.

"Why don't you refuse Wan? that means you don't have to be obedient to pick me up or rendang nganter. Can a guy do a little?" the woman opened the conversation.

"Are you?" answer the Cloud briefly.

"Sorry, why me?" Dana asked her younger sister.

"I didn't run away! I did come home early from the office, so than I wait for you, I'd better take the bus."

"Same to run away, right?" The clouds repeat their words. Dana breathed a sigh of annoyance at it. The cloud did not hurt. But, I don't know why he was still upset to hear it.

"You said you forgot my face. Have we ever met? I mean yes we are one school, but I never seem to see you" said Dana continued the conversation between them. The clouds only smiled cynically hearing his upperclassman speak. He did not respond to Dana's words at all. That made him a little upset.

"People if you know the usual manners if someone talks on the floor." Sindir Dana with subtle.

"People who are given a ride are usually grateful, not shy or chatty!" he said he didn't want to lose.

"You didn't ask, you were suddenly in front of my hostel. Aye right? After all, you didn't come also no problem. I can still go home by myself. Yes, I had to come with you because it is not good with your mother," said Dana explained.

"Down!" The clouds marginalized his car that was speeding in the middle of the highway.

"Lo's crazy?" said surprised.

"Gue doesn't like rich chatty people in my car!" The clouds began to get emotional.

"So because you don't like it, you nurunin me arbitrarily like gini on the street?" Dana raised her tone.

The clouds did not answer the woman's question. He got out of the car and walked into the trunk. The clouds dropped the suitcase from the trunk. He then walked to the side door of his upperclassman's seat.

"Down!" He opened the car door. Dana was really angry to see a completely irresponsible man want to take her down in the middle of the highway.

"Fine!" An emotion-wrapped dana unlocked her seatbelt and complied with it getting out of the car. The clouds got back into his car and drove his car fast. Dana was very angry to see that sight.

He did not expect people who he said were good turned out to be very irresponsible. The man who was always proud of his mother left him here. Dana who was still feeling angry tried to regulate her breathing rate.

Dana had no choice but to walk. He can't call a taxi in the middle of the highway. 5 Minutes he walked. In that kilometer, there is no house or overpass that usually connects 2 sides of the settlement. The time has shown at 17:00 WIB.

Dana decided to stop and call my mom. He will tell the actions of the clouds to him. Dana really can't stand the cloud's behavior. Mama should know if the man who is always proud turns out to leave his daughter in the middle of the toll road.

Dana's looking for her HP in her pants pocket. Damn, he didn't find it there. The woman frantically searched the contents of the small backpack she was carrying. Again, he did not find his HP at all. Dana was very scared at the time. He remembered that his HP was left in the Awan car. Dana started crying thinking about the worst thing that would happen to her.

"Ma.." Her tears began to drip. Dana's sitting on the side of the highway. He didn't know what would happen to him at that time.

It had been about 15 minutes after Awan left it on the motorway. Dana really didn't do anything but cry.

Shortly after, the drizzle began to come. Dana who could not walk again decided to curl up on the side of the highway while crying. He slightly regretted his foolishness to go with the Clouds. He also regretted his words to the Clouds. Come to think of it, his behavior was indeed a little outrageous.

For about 40 minutes he sat there. The time has shown at 17.55 WIB. The night began to come along with the rain that almost subsided. His body had started to shiver withstanding the cold. His legs no longer felt considering he had been sitting for a long time. Dana just chose to bow in lethargy and close her eyes, hoping that a kind person would help her.

"Wake up!" Said someone who came in front of him. He opened his eyes slowly. He faintly saw the shadow of a man who was no stranger to him. That person is the Cloud.

Dana relfeks smiling looking at him. I don't know why staring at the man was like an oasis in the desert.
