Lutfi Gilang's

18. Gossip

Fifteen minutes have passed since the exam. Many questions are suddenly very easy to answer, there are also some calculation problems that I jumped over and had not been filled.

In front of the class, all the friends seemed restless waiting for the results of their exams. I who was sitting alone on the front porch of the stairs located on the East side of class XI IPS-4 also felt the same way. Before it finally disappeared because Gilang sat beside me.

“Happy day.”

“Siang.”

“Ga patient?”

“Iya,”

“Why?”

Not yet able to answer, Gilang had guessed first. “Worry?”

I'm nodding. Truly, my mind could not calm down waiting for the final outcome that would determine my life path.

“Quiet, Kelvin ga will pass selection.”

I'm shocked. “Loh, what is it?”

“Iya,”

“Why?”

“Suggestion.”

Oh that. My heart said to itself recalling Gilang's previous sentence. Laugh but a little.

True, I have to question myself, if my grades will be above Kelvin's.

I looked at Gilang's face, he smiled.

“Available?”

I nodded again, although there was still a slight feeling of anxiety.

“I want to tell you straight, can?”

“Lah, what story do you want?”

“Both.” he said with a smile.

“OK deh.”

“Still.”

“Sama-sama.”

She's quiet. I'm quiet too. I keep waiting for him to start the story. I don't know how long, I finally came back because I was impatient.

“Say want a story?”

“Now?”

“Iya, tomorrow time?”

“Waitu, yes?”

Uhh! Bummer byebelin.

I'm upset.

Suddenly he told me, but I did not respond. Errata. Haven't responded.

“If butterflies have human sense, I am sure they will also make: caterpillar school, cocoon school, and butterfly school, pity deh you.” he said with the last sentence deliberately given a tone.

I laughed a little at hearing that. Amused, at once because Gilang is too imaginary.

“You like me which school story?” She asked.

Unanswered.

“OK, so caterpillar school—”

“School time caterpillar!” I said cut. “School butterfly dong.”

He was silent, I saw his face startled, but finally a smile as well.

“In butterfly school obviously many classes kayak human school. There, let's say there's KM—”

“What is KM?” I want to go back to cutting. “Bathroom?”

“Young Butterfly,” the answer is flat.

“Why KKM?”

“Later calculated mapel.” graduation standard

“Oh yes. He he he.”

Gilang laughs but little.

Uhh! Gnawing.

“Means there is KD dong?”

“Contest Dangdut?”

“Open! Butterfly Adult.”

“He.”

“Benu ga anyway?”

“Yes, KD is the teacher. Butterfly Adult.”

I laughed, now looking at his expression.

“So KD teaches KM. Of course not all KM pinter and diligent, there must also be a lazy.”

“Kayak you.”

He laughed, but returned to telling stories. “Pas test. Uh, wait.” said cut it yourself.

“Why?”

“KM that males want to name who?”

“Mistake,” I said with a little laugh. Gilang also looks excited, although only a little smile. Peel!

“Well, each test KM Gilang this,”

I laughed when I heard him use his own name in his story.

“always get the ugliest grades in class.” Somehow but Gilang somewhat lengthened the word ‘paling’ then slightly given a hard kick.

“Loh how is it?”

“Kan, he's lazy his story.”

“Original is also that.”

“He,”

“OK. Continue.”

He was silent for a moment and exhaled slowly. “But, he secretly has a crush on the same KM girl sitting next to him.”

The deg! I think he's making a story based on his true story. Okay, let's listen carefully.

“Call it...”.

“Lutfi,” I said surprised him.

Swallow. “Pas one day, there is another KM who told classmates, if he gets the highest test score will shoot KM Lutfi.”

Aye! Supposedly. He described the real events, more precisely today.

What the hell does that mean? Why try, Gilang make a story about the problem earlier? It's a bit BT, but I keep trying to hear it.

“Si KM Gilang heard that, he became discouraged temporarily.”

“Loh how come? Should be dong's business!” I cut back.

“Kan I said ‘broken spirit while.’” he said not angry.

Gilang. “Si KM Gilang steady himself, he will prevent KM Kelvin shoot KM Lutfi.”

Actually I want to ask why suddenly the other character was named by the name of the class president. But I just kept quiet, because I knew where the story was going.

“After the test, it turns out that KM Gilang who got the highest score, KM Kelvin who was a jerk so could not shoot Lutfi.”

Don't add the jerk too. Uh, but.... “That's really?”

“Iya.” said full of confidence.

“Terus, how?”

“Because KM Kelvin lost to KM Gilang who was lazy, he felt he had been cheated. So instigate his friends if KM Gilang cheated during the exam.”

Oh, he's a real jerk! My heart says go into the sprain yourself.

“Continuously?” my many.

“Grade-in-classmen began to hate and ngjauhin KM Gilang, even KM Lutfi which he liked secretly, also follow their kayak.”

“Aduh, pity. How to?”

“Tamat.”

“Loh is over, why?”

“Because the story is finished.”

“Yes can't do dong!” I said half screaming.

I saw Gilang's face looked confused, making me aware of my behavior which was already the same storyline. Sighing, trying to hold back my emotions.

“There should be a continuation dong. If I think it's pity KM Gilang.”

“Yes I've added. Since that KM Gilang die.”

“Kok is?”

“Iya because it's been a week.”

“Udah a week shunned KM Lutfi?”

“Not.”

“Terus?”

“Kan, butterfly her life is only a week.”

“Ih, byebelin!”

“He,”

“That's no difference.”

“He,”

“Continued try.” my door.

“But I don't know how it goes.” he replied not feeling guilty.

“Why?”

Gilang pointed towards the front with his face slightly raised. I looked in the direction he might be looking.

There, the friends had strange expressions, as if looking at us with angry faces. I approached them out of curiosity.

Gyan suddenly emerged from the crowd and told me, have a look at the selection assessment board that has been installed in the classroom glass.

I obey. Then I searched my name with the help of my index finger. Sliding from top to bottom. Meet me! Lutfi Nurtika's. Then point to the right side to know my value.

English Language: 9

English Language: 8

History: 7

PPKN: 7

Geography: 8

Sociology: 8

Chemicals: 7

Biology: 7

Physics: 7

Mathematics: 7

I was surprised to be mixed with pleasure when I knew mathematics and physics got a value of 7. Although the Indonesian language almost got a perfect score, but I still feel happier, because the two maples calculation at least according to KKM. What a joy I cannot express in words.

The finger continues to line up to the right side.

Total: 75. Rank: 4.

I was so unexpected with my achievements so high. I'm looking for Gyan Gesita Dwi Utami Mutmainah. Meet up quickly. He got perfect grades in English.

Whoa, terrific!

I see the number: 77. It's on the third rank!

I called out to Gyan. “Congratulations yes.”

“Iya thanks.” the answer is lethargic. I don't know why. Maybe for him everything he got was still lacking.

Actually I was curious about the value of Gilang, but what I was looking for was actually ranked above the Gyan rank.

I'm looking from the far right side. Meet me! Stage two. Total: 78.

Just one point from Gyan. I said whisper.

Next look for the first rank.

The finger is dragging down. And when I found out, I snapped great. I don't believe it, but that's the truth.

Total: 94. All maples scored 10, except English: 9, and biology: 5.

I had a laugh, anyway. Funny too. Even though I am the 4th rank only biology can score 7. A rank 3 Gyan can also score nine. This is the first rank even below me. Yeah, well, on another maple he got a perfect score, so he deserves first place.

I looked again at the sum of the previous rank values. A few seconds later I finally realized something, a rank four to two did not reach a score of 80. It ends at 78. The difference with the first rank was very far.

This is totally insane! He must be the smartest student in this school. Thought.

Maybe Kelvin, maybe Arya. I think so, because both are active in class and can always do things that are difficult for other friends.

I'm sure, if he—ranked first—followed the school LCC that was held next month, surely our class can be champion one.

I saw the name of the owner. And I almost fainted.

Rizky Gilang Kurniawan!

What's?! Yes timing?

I looked at Gyan in disbelief. But he asked me to go back to check. And, unmistakably, it was really hers.

Next I look for the name Janoya Arya Gunandar, he is ranked 5th, below me, with a value of seventy-four. Only one number.

I quickly switched, looking for Kelvin's name. He was in the second rank!

I didn't expect. Miracles really do happen. Thank God, this way Kelvin wouldn't shoot me. After all, if he forced a shot, I would definitely reject him outright.

I looked for the whereabouts of Gilang. But I did not find.

Slowly I became uncomfortable, I don't know. I saw around me friends whispering to each other, perhaps regretting the results of their grades or being envious of Gilang. Kan, however, he was the laziest student in the class, maybe even as SMA. But now it shows its fangs and grabbed the first position.

Instantly I flinched, realizing the utterance of my heart. “This, it's the same as the story Gilang.”

My eyes are looking for her whereabouts. But I still can't find. Slowly I overheard a sentence from the whispers of my classmates:

“He cheated fitting exam.”; “Iya, where maybe lazy students seem to be able to rank first.”; “Iya, cunning.”; “I don't want to near cheating students like him.”; “Iya, I also ogah.”

I really did not expect, what Gilang said just now really happened. I went back to looking for her whereabouts, but I still couldn't find her.

It's galangilee! Where are you?
