The first day of the holiday in the village goes smoothly and is really fun, especially for Anjani. In the morning, the smell of coolness and hospitality of the village greeted. During the day, the swing of the cherry tree incised a story that will be remembered, and more exciting because of the presence of women so-genesis. At night, painting a crescent moon smile becomes an experience that will imprint in memory. Luckily, that night Anjani can be with Mario enjoy the charm of the moon and have the opportunity to see the other side of a Mario.
The second day of the semester holiday, Anjani and his friends are still in the same place, with a typical village atmosphere. Juno, Ken, Dika, also Mario had woken up even before the chickens crowed. I don't know what they did that early. What is clear, they are currently sitting in the living room of Anjani's house. There was Ma and Meli who greeted them. But where is Anjani?
Tock-a-tock
"Anjani, wakeup!" ma shouted while banging on the door of Anjani's room.
There was no vote from inside Anjani's room. Ma suspected her daughter was tired to sleep well. Once again Ma tried to bang on the door of Anjani's room. However, the second door blow still did not get any response from Anjani. A mother's soul in Ma's self is burning. Ma does not allow laziness to take root in his daughter, fearing becoming a bad habit. A moment later Ma tried to bang back on Anjani's room door.
Tock-a-tock
"Anjanin .... Girl woke up at noon? You don't deserve to be someone's wife like this. Get up!" ma shouted as he again banged on the door of Anjani's room.
"Yes, Ma. It's me waking up!" anjani said a little shouting as she stepped up to open the door of her room. "Sorry, Ma. I had insomnia last night. So .... Aaaa!"
Brak!
Anjani's room door was closed. He had just seen his friends gathered in the living room of his house. Coincidentally Anjani's bedroom was at the front, and the door of her room was close to the living room. When Anjani opened the door because he heard Ma's banging and shouting, of course he could immediately see clearly his friends were sitting on the sofa. Similarly with friends Anjani, they can also see clearly the face and appearance of Anjani when waking up.
Duh! Why wear all bad luck shows, anyway. Shame ... Inner Anjani.
"Don't be long, yeah! Waiting for your friend, here!" yelled Ma once more.
Anjani still conditioned a sense of surprise on him. After one pull and a long breath, Anjani rushed to tidy her hair, clean the dirt in the corner of her eyes, prepare clean clothes, then wrap a towel to cover the head especially her face. Finished with it all, Anjani opened her bedroom door and stepped quickly towards the bathroom located right next to the kitchen. After fifteen minutes of self-improvement, Anjani is now ready to meet her friends in the living room.
Anjani was grinning first before sitting among her friends. Meli offered a glass of drinking water to Anjani on the grounds to make it look more fresh, although in fact the freshness after bathing is still attached. However, Anjani receives a drink and Meli excuses. Anjani rushes to finish the glass of water, puts down the empty glass, then returns grinning.
"I'm sorry, guys. I was bad luck, hehe," said Anjani, but no one seemed to hear it because Anjani's speech was made soft. "Sst, Meli. I'm still embarrassed, though. Just woke up to see friends playing guests. Why not build it, anyway!" anjani whispered to Meli who was sitting next to him.
"I've knocked twice on your door, Anjani. You have no response. Finally, the intervening Ma woke you up. Relax, no one is talking, my friends. Safe!" said Meli reassured Anjani by following a whisper.
Anjani notices Mario sitting next to Ma. Mario looks smiling friendly and being polite. Ma also looks excited when chatting with Mario. Anjani's smile expands seeing that. Moving again, now Anjani saw Juno who was opening the leaves wrapping the nagasari cake, then gave it to Ma politely and kindly. Moving again, Anjani saw two friends who were sitting next to Juno, there was Ken and Dika who were engrossed in the race to eat a cake made by Ma last night.
The longer Anjani watches her friends, the more aware there is an oddity going on there. Since Anjani sat on the sofa, only Meli ignored her existence. While other friends are busy themselves, even prefer to chat with Ma.
"Hey, buddy. Don't you have any intention of greeting me this morning?" anjani asked in a voice that was deliberately slightly hardened.
Mario, Juno, Ken, and Dika, instantly fell silent and looked towards Anjani. In fact, Ma also went along to stop chewing nagasari cake. Suddenly Meli who was sitting next to Anjani laughed while half covering her mouth with her right palm.
"Anjani asked for a greeting, tuh! Come, hello!" pinta Meli while holding back her laughter.
"Good morning, Anjani," greeted all of Anjani's friends in a compact manner, then they laughed. More precisely laugh at Anjani's expression when this morning shocked to see their arrival.
"Morning drama, huh?" asked Anjani, then she laughed.
The mood returned as it should. Greeting each other, joking, and being sarcastic to each other is what makes the morning event so fun. Occasionally there are chats and stories about city life, as well as activities while in college.
Meli had told the kindness of Lisa and her flower shop. Meli's story makes Ma suddenly want to plant roses in the front yard of the house. Ma's spirit to fill the front yard with roses apparently had the support of Anjani's other friends.
"Anjani, why don't you ever tell me about college grades, huh?" ask Ma suddenly.
"Heavy .... It's worth it" Anjani replied.
"Good or bad enough?" ask Ma again.
"Well done, Ma. I'm the same Anjani is the same tutor as Mario. Isn't that right, brother?" ask Mario. He wanted to get a justification for his words just now.
"Yes" answered Mario briefly.
"Mas Mario, if so next semester I'm the same with the tutor as well" Juno said.
"Rubber," said Dika justifying Juno's request.
The mood returned. Juno and Dika kept asking Mario for tutors. Meanwhile, Mario constantly refused. Apparently Ken was a little distracted by Juno and Dika's request.
"Hey, you two. Why don't you ask me to teach you college materials? My grades are no less good, though. There is only one B grade, while other courses can be A. How's it? Wouldn't you?" asked Ken while he was proud of himself.
"No," Juno and Dika replied simultaneously.
"Ahaha, rejected immediately, Bro. Its okay. I'm doing fine. Really I'm fine," said Ken while acting slumped because it was rejected raw.
Ma immediately laughed off seeing the jokes of Anjani's friends. Ma felt that her daughter was lucky to meet and befriend all of them. Ma's heart was also increasingly convinced, that Anjani's choice six months ago was right. If the matchmaking takes place, not necessarily will be found happiness like that time.
Overjoyed by the arrival and cheerfulness of Anjani's friends, Ma promised to bring each one a fresh batch of chili and corn picked directly from his garden. Everyone cheered happily at Ma's promise. Anjani also smiles because Ma is willing to accept his friends well. Anjani even volunteered to help Ma pick chili for his friends.
"No need to be metic-assisted. You just play with your friends. They come all the way here for the holidays. Play water in the river. Bring 'em!" said Ma.
The river seems to be a new attraction for Anjani's friends. Ken even discusses Mario's past that was never allowed to play water into the river at all. Instead, Mario created a swimming pool at his home. The swimming pool is what Ken often uses to swim at Mario's house.
The fact about Mario makes Juno eager to immediately show the crystal clear river in his village. The promotion Juno conveyed about the river in his village made other friends tempted and wanted to play water there immediately.
"You leaving now?" ask Anjani.
"Come on!"
All compact answer, except Mario. Anjani catches the strange gelagat. Mario did not answer because he was busy with his smartphone. Anjani had tried to shift a little sitting so that he could see who had called Mario. However, Anjani failed to see him. Mario hurriedly turned off his smartphone, then put it in his pants pocket.
"Sst, Mel. Did you see that one just as well? There's something strange about Mario" Anjani said. He took the opportunity to whisper to Meli and ask, while the other friends were preoccupied with Ma.
"Yes, I see. Who went back and forth on Mario's phone, huh? Maybe his father," Meli guessed. He was whispering.
"Later try to find out," Anjani said while still whispering.
Meli's right-hand thumb and forefinger are circular, as code that she agrees with Anjani's idea to find out about Mario's strange girly facts. Anjani replies by giving the same code. After agreeing, then the two of them took part in saying goodbye to Ma, and stepped together towards the next destination.
