My Lovely Busybody Girl's
3 - First Duty
Never in his life did Arka regret what he had felt in a second. But now he has just had that experience.
When she saw a figure who was hit by the sun that was crying because of a book, she was so fascinated by its beauty. But when the beautiful figure woke up and stood before him with a cheerful face made him regret what he thought about this girl.
From his smile alone, Arka could guess that this girl was the type of person who was chatty and also pretentious, and Arka did not like that.
“Wait, what's maen starting? Who are you?” ask Arka.
“And I told you, I Shaila and I will be in charge of your duties for two months here.”
“Emang you know who will be punished here? You are wrong people.”
Shaila shakes. “No, Mr. Rashudin did not say anything about who would be punished here, but I know if it was lo.”
Arka grunting. “Sok tau lo, already a shaman aja.”
“My gut feeling is 90% it's always true. And you are also not the type of person who wants to step foot into the library, even when you are pursued by your enemies even though, so I am sure that lo, sis.”
Arka was silent, fortunately the person who was currently in front of him was a woman, if men would definitely not be left alone by Arka.
“Beres, right?” shaila asked, the girl then pulled Arka's hand towards the front area of the library near the door.
Arka let go of her hand. “No need to hold.”
Shaila did not respond, he took a pile of tables in the desk area which is where the data base of students who borrow or return books. Shaila gave the book to Arka.
“So your assignment for two months tuh put the new book behind the same students into place. How is the narrative?”
Shaila picked up a top book and flipped it to the side. “Lo see this paper right? This is the code. So if it says C02 here is the third shelf from the right row that starts with the letter A and in the second row of that shelf. Knows right?”
Shaila put the book back on top of the stack of books in Arka's hands. The girl took her bag. “Lo finish well, I want to practice volleyball thirty minutes, later I return it must be neat, okay?” Shaila ran out, but on the door she turned around again. “Gue forgot to say. Your job is only until half six hours, abis it you can go back.”
After saying that, Shaila ran out. Arka looked at the door that Shaila had passed by in confusion. It seems like what he was thinking was right. What did Mr. Rashudin think sent him for two months to such a person?
Oh right! Of course this is a trick from a man who is the same age as his Papa to let Arka melt. Did he forget who he was dealing with? Of course Arka won't give her what she wants. Justjust look.
Arka stared lazily at the books she was currently holding, after an amused grunt, the man let go of his handrails on the book until the dead thing fell on the floor in a rough voice.
Do not think Arka will give what the teacher BK expects. If the old man thought like that, then he was already gravely mistaken.

Volleyball club members disbanded after their coach and sports teacher gave a brief briefing on the results of their training. The exercise was not as intense as the volleyball team at Bumi Putera High School will enter the semi-finals, but the exercise that was originally estimated to only spend thirty minutes was doubled in length because there was a mistake.
Shaila stepped foot with a sports bag and a light blue drinking place to the library room. Ten more minutes he could already go home after a bit of cleaning up the library again.
She was indeed not the person in charge of the space that the student rarely entered, the person in charge was a third-grade student, she said, but because the student has begun to focus on studying for his exam next semester so he chose to resign as a responsible person.
And Shaila who happens to like to relax in the library – not to read books but to sleep when the lessons he does not like, volunteered to keep the library but not as the person in charge.
But because he continues to be in the library makes him who initially can only read the table of contents of a book before finally falling asleep so fond of reading –, especially romance fiction novels.
Shaila smiled broadly as she opened the door, the scent of hundreds of books from the year old to books that the school just bought a month ago instantly burst into her sense of smell.
“Gimana, sis, already se—“
Shaila's words hung in the air as she saw the atmosphere of the room that was supposed to be quiet and clean it became scattered by the books scattered on the floor.
Looking at the book scattered on the floor like that made Shaila have a bad thought. What if his upperclassman's enemy comes and kidnaps Arka while the man is tidying up the book?
Shaila corrected her worries which instantly became a ridiculous thought due to two things. One; of course the enemy who is out of school where –karna cannot Arka has enemies in her own school who submit to her, will not be able to enter her school as they please.
Second; the tall figure was found lying on a long chair at the end of the bookcase hallway. One foot tall he drooped on the floor because the long chair could not accommodate his height, his right foot he bent upwards. His left hand is above his stomach and his right arm is above his forehead. Without even looking at Shaila could tell that the man was slumbering.
Irritated that her worries had ended in vain, Shaila approached Arka and kicked the long bench on which she lay. Of course Arka immediately rose suddenly until his head was hit by the bottom of the table on it.
Arka grimaced holding her forehead. “Arrghh. What the fuck is lo? Nyari died yah?”
“I should be the one, you again why?” turning Shaila in a defiant tone, both of her hands were at the waist.
“Lo blind? I'm sleeping again, ****.”
Shaila grunts. “Lo can sleep when your task is not done yet? Great so lo.”
“Whisper lo ah, kayak medicine man.”
“Bodo, now complete your task. Very messy in front.” Shaila pulls Arka's hand.
Arka pulled back her hand that Shaila had forcibly pulled. “Anaan anyway, do not need mode, do not hold!”
“Who is the mode? Outer machine!”
Arka glanced at the black sports watch worth tens of millions in her left hand. With a single jolt, the man stood up making Shaila who was only a few centimeters away from him so realize how tall Arka – is or how short Shaila is, so, what makes his small body is only able to face the man's firm chest.
Shaila. “Udah cepet finish, I want to go home.” Shaila.
“Who said I want to finish?” Arka draped her lock bag to her right shoulder.
“Lah, lah.. lo where to use the bag?”
“Back,”
“Lo's work has not been done.”
Arka advanced her face and lowered her head to face the face of the little girl in front of her. “Not my business.” Arka straightened her body. “Udah at half-six well, I'm back. Adios. Watch out kidnapped genderuwo.” Arka stepped away while swinging her left hand into the air. “Anjrit, nutmeg I'm sick.” Grumpy Arka while ago.
Shaila looked at Arka's back without being able to say anything. Why does the man seem to feel no guilt at all for not doing his job? And that made Shaila even more upset.
“IIIHHH.... UGLY POWER POLE BASE!!” shaila shouted as she found her voice. “So much pantes I call brother, unclean. Oh I call brother again.” Omel Shaila's.
Inevitably the girl had to tidy up the books herself. Was this what her BK teacher meant at the time? Shaila turned the events back to when the authoritative teacher called her to the BK room and asked for her help to watch over a child who was about to be punished, even though the man did not mention who it was, but he warned Shaila.
“This child is not an arbitrary child who will be subject to orders from others, so you have to be extra patient with it. This child also likes to make trouble, but I'm sure you can overcome it right? I believe in you.”
If you have been given the trust of her role model teacher, Shaila would say what? He should have known from the beginning that this task will not be easy if the teacher who has the authority to punish students has raised their hands to overcome it.
Alright. Shaila will not give up until here, she will keep trying until the man can do his punishment for the next two months well. And also because a person who has a name at school asks for help directly from him, he will not disappoint his role model BK teacher. It won't.
