M.A.A.P (White Ash Time)
Chapter 2's
*-- Andi --*
It was Saturday, school was off and I decided to play basketball in the yard to work out. Both my parents are rarely at home, they are busy working in the office so I am alone at home. When I got out of the house, I saw someone in the house in front of me, like a new person moving in, I thought. I started playing basketball with passion, it was because I was also an extracurricular basketball player at school.
When I was busy dribbling, I felt like someone was watching me from outside the gate. I immediately stopped my play and approached him
“This is who is it ? I just saw the mas around here.” asked Andi.
“Hai knows me Rian who lives in that house.” replied Rian kindly.
We talked for a while, I could judge if Rian was kind and friendly by the way he said, suddenly my eyes looked towards her house and saw a hooded girl who was slightly hiding while watching me, who is this girl ?
Mas Rian, who seemed to know that I was watching the girl, called out to her immediately,
“Sini Ran.”
When the girl arrived, Rian introduced her to me, it turned out that she was Rian's sister, Rani.
“Hmm.. Nice name, their name is almost the same” inner Andi
I saw that Rian's brother was very quiet and he just kept quiet and smiled a little.
“Sorry yes my sister is shy if new people. oh yes we want to go back home first yes. yuk sometime stop by the house.” said mas Rian.
“Iya mas thanks next time I play to your house.”
Mas Rian and Rani went back home, it seemed like they were going to continue arranging the house, and I went back to playing basketball.
“Hm, new friendly neighbor.may be familiar deh.”.
*--- --*
Rian and Rani return home and continue cleaning. Rian looks happy he made new friends in his neighborhood, he is very good at making friends. While Rani still feels foreign to Andi and has not been too concerned about it, but even so she is also happy because there are friends of her age there.
Rani and Rian finished some in the afternoon and rest for a while, in the evening Pak Hari took her two children shopping for necessities at the supermarket because they did not have daily needs.
During the shopping Rani looks very happy, this is her first time out at night and shopping in the big city.
“Ih happy who invited shopping.” Rian tease on his sister.
“Iya dong mas.. when else try hehe..”
“Hmm.. otherwise gini, do not come out at night you.”
“Hehe Yes mas.”
After they finished shopping, they had dinner together outside and returned home at 20:00. While waiting for bedtime, Rian and Rani watch tv together, while their father has a short affair with the RT chairman in the complex.
“Oh yes Ran, Andi is the same age you are. he is XI class too.” said Rian suddenly.
“Oh yes mas ? I thought it was your age.”
“You must get used to quickly hanging out with people who are new to Ran. Otherwise that's when you have friends.” said Rian advising his sister.
Rani seemed to think, it was true what her brother said, too,
“Iya Mas.. I will try.”
Rian smiled, though,
“Andi looks like a good child really.”
“Iya mas. but.”
“Try to start making friends, he's our neighbor too, not good also if it's quiet like your own neighbor.”.
“Iya Mas.”
On Monday, Rian and Rani leave for school with them. Actually their school is close and still in the neighborhood of the complex where they live, but their father wants to take them to school.
Arriving at school, Mr. Hari gave a message to his two children.
“You guys are diligent ya learn it, don't be naughty.”
“Siap well..” replied Rian
“Rian take care of your sister at school.”
“Iya well ready.”
Rian and Rani get out of the car and into the school yard. Before long Rian became the center of attention, his handsome face made many women pay attention, while Rian himself was indifferent and did not care about it. Rani is a little uncomfortable because she is near Rian and inevitably she does not escape the sight of many people.
From the 2nd floor there was someone who noticed Rian and Rani who were walking into the teacher room, she smiled.
In the master room Rian and Rani meet with their teacher to confirm their move. When they are finished, they are taken to their own classes. Rian's 3rd class classroom is on the 3rd floor while Rani is on the 2nd floor.
“Ran.. You're fine right ?” ask Rian to make sure.
“Em, a little nervous anyway mas, but I will try.” replied Rani with a little nervousness.
Rian smiled and patted Rani's head slowly then followed her homeroom teacher to the 3rd floor. While Rani is with her homeroom teacher and they arrive at the class just as the bell rings.
“Bismillah.” Rani tries to get rid of her nervousness.
“Rani wait here first yes. later I call.” said Rani's homeroom teacher named Pak Wawan.
“Iya sir.”
Mr. Wawan walks into the class to say hello for a moment,
“Today our class will have new friends.please enter.” said Pak Wawan.
Rani steps into the classroom while slightly lowered her head, all the students are making a note of it, from the back bench there is a smiling look at Rani.
After arriving next to Mr. Wawan, Rani ventured to lift her face and look at her prospective classmates. He felt that everyone was staring with curious gazes at Rani.
Rani takes a deep breath and exhales slowly,
“hai all greetings, my name is Rani from the city of K and just moved to this city.” said Rani introduced herself..
Some students seemed to be welcoming and some were mediocre. As Rani spread her eyes she saw someone familiar in the backseat, she seemed to smile while looking at Rani. Rani is surprised to not expect if they are one class, it turns out that it is Andi, her front neighbor.
“well, any question for Rani ?” ask the students
One of the students raised a hand and asked,
“Originally from where?”
“I'm from K..” city
Some students nodded, after no one asked, sir Wawan let Rani sit, there happened to be bench number two from behind, precisely in front of Andi. Rani immediately stepped onto her stool. Lucky girl friend, so she felt a little relieved.
My countryman Rani looks friendly, she introduces herself to Rani.
“Hai Rani, I'm Irma. Greetings know ya..” greet Irma while extending her hand.
Rani smiles and welcomes Irma's hand,
“Hai, I'm Rani, greetings know also yes.”.
Moments later the lesson began, the first lesson of the time was Mathematics, it happened that mathematics was one of the lessons favored by Rani, so that she could follow smoothly.
In the other class, Rian walks into his class with his homeroom teacher, he introduces himself, and some of the girls look happy, because his new friend is a handsome boy. During the question session there was one of the funny questions posed by a student, which was,
“His mom already has a boyfriend ?”
Spontaneously everyone looked towards the source of the voice, while the student who asked looked relaxed.
“Em, for now do not think of dating duu.” replied Rian casually.
The students seemed happy to hear it, the homeroom teacher stopped him and asked Rian to sit on an empty bench.
Rian makes a new friend, his best friend named Ari.
“Hai Rian greetings, I'm Ari.”
“Salam knows also yes. i'm Rian.”
Rian smiled kindly, he was happy to be able to immediately make friends, and hoped that at this new school he would get a lot of good friends.
Hours of rest arrived, some children went out of class, some went to the cafeteria, cooperatives and others.
“Ran, to the canteen yuk.” invite Irma
“Bby, his canteen where ?”
“Let's go together let you memorize too.”
Rani nodded in agreement, after finishing the book, she went to the cafeteria with irma. During the trip to the cafeteria, Irma told Rani the ins and outs of the school starting from the teacher's room, library, lab until finally they reached the canteen. In the cafeteria it was crowded, there were several food stands ranging from meatballs, chicken noodles, snacks, and many more.
“What do you want to eat Ran ?” ask Irma.
“I just followed..”
“OK if so we eat meatballs yuk, good you know the meatballs are here.”
Rani nodded in agreement and followed Irma. After buying the meatballs they looked for a seat, and there was an empty seat. Rani and Irma were sitting opposite who happened to have a long desk so that it could be used by many people.
“Oh yes Ran, you can move here how is the story ?” ask irma
“My father was transferred here Ma, so I followed..”.
“Emang your father works where ?”
“work in one of the banks here kok.”.
“Oh so..”
Rani and Irma were busy chatting, although Rani was still a bit awkward, she ventured to wonder and tried to familiarize herself, she remembered her brother's advice that she should try to open up.
Suddenly someone comes and joins the meal with them, Rani and Irma reflexes look, it turns out that Andi. He sat down next to Irma.
“What's In ?” ask Irma
“Nothing, want to eat here.”
Irma went back to eating, she had known Andi since elementary school because they were one school first. Rani looks at Andi and smiles for a while.
“Rani turned out you went to school here.” Andi said.
“Iya Di.” replied Rani.
“Lho Di, you already know Rani ?” ask Irma who was shocked.
“Iya, she's my new neighbor.”
“Oh so it turns out..”
They talk again while eating, Rani tries to familiarize herself with Irma, her colleague and Andi. From a distance there were several people observing them, including Rian. She was eating with her new friend Ari, and happened to see her sister having lunch in the cafeteria with her friend.
“Thank God if you can adapt.” muttered Rian.
The friend next to him heard Rian say so asked,
“By the way are you Yan ?” ask Ari.
“Oh nothing really.”
On the other hand, some people also observe Rani, Irma and Andi are eating from a distance with a less fond gaze. They're Rani's first class friends, her names are Selvi, Dian and Ira. They belong to one gang (group) Andi fans. It turned out that Andi was very famous in his school, not only because of his achievements in academics, but also in sports. She has won several races and championships for school, no wonder many women love Andi. Fansclub for Andi fans was formed.
