Odi's Story

The Nineteen

 

Waking up, Odi took his cell phone. He rarely uses his social media accounts. I don't know why this morning Odi wanted to check it out. Odi idly read the comments column in the initial photo to create mukbang content on his Instagram.

Very greedy, Neng.

It's a little girl like that. Haha.

Anj trash.

Totally beneficial.

I wonder what, not really.

Bang\* as a gini doang many viewers.

This doang look mah. Haha.

Tuh edit. Haha.

Ninyinyiran and the word\-hurlish warganet flooded the comment column. They read them one by one. Actually more praise and amazement than the blasphemy he received. But still as an ordinary human being, the oblique\-comment comments made Odi hurt.

Messed up. Odi's mood was instantly shattered. Her tears did not stop. Odi locked himself in the room. Crying until her eyes are swollen. Odi was sad and angry. But he can't do anything\-nothing. Desire to stop being a YouTuber. Being popular is not as beautiful as he imagined. Odi had exchanged calmness for fame.

It was time to go to school, but Odi did not leave the room. Grandma knocked on her bedroom door. Grandma thinks maybe Odi woke up bad. Grandma heard cries from inside the room.

Grandma panic. "Odi, what's wrong with you?" She knocked several times and tried to open the door.

There's no answer. Again\-again just a sound of sobbing.

"Same story grandma, Di." Grandma's voice behind the door.

Odi wiped his tears. Without opening the door he replied, "Not anything\-nothing, Grandma. Odi no longer feels well. Today Odi did not go to school first huh, Grandma."

Odi's not good at lying, grandma knows that. "Yes already. Grandma's getting you breakfast, honey?"

"Later on, Grandma. Odi's not hungry yet."

Odi usually refuses to eat. Grandma thought Odi really wanted to be alone. Then Gery came to pick me up to go to school together.

After kissing his hand, Gery asked, "Miss, Odi is ready yet?"

Grandma's expression turned worried. "Today Odi didn't go to school, Ger. He said he was sick, but didn't want to leave the room. Grandma asked, but she said there was nothing. Try persuading him. Who knows if you're the same, Odi wants a story."

Gery rushes to Odi's room. He knocked on the door shouting, "Di, you're not going to school?"

Hearing Gery's voice, Odi immediately moved from his place and opened the door.

"Bang Geeer." Odi blends into Gery's embrace with a whim.

"Lo why? Same story as me." Gery stroked Odi's hair full of pity.

Odi took off his embrace and took his gawai. It then shows the negative\-comment comments it receives. "Here, Bang."

 

Gery was furious after reading the comments of the haters. This is no longer criticism but humiliation and definitely cannot be allowed to go.

"It's online shaming its name." Gery. "How dare to use a bodong account," he added.

The crying of Odi became. "Te-keep gi-gima-na, Bang?"

"Lo calm down first. Most importantly, you should eat. Don't listen to people say. Lo matiin comment column. And don't open the sosmed for a while. Okay?"

Odi nodded his head. "Yes, Bang." Then wipe away the tears with the back of his hand. "Gue wants to stop YouTube. I want to go back to my old life. I'm sorry, Bang," said Odi.

"That's nothing to think about. Lo istiharat. Don't think of the macem." Gery looked at his watch. "At less than fifteen minutes, I'm leaving first huh, Di."

"Yes, Bang." Suddenly Ed laughed.

Gery wonder. "Why laugh? Is something funny?"

Odi pointed to Gery's uniform. "No."

"Sorry yes, Bang. Make it too."

"Whoever is the same as you. I'm leaving, yeah." Gery hurriedly left.

Shortly after Gery leaves for school, Odi leaves the room for the dining table. It looks like grandma is still anxious about Odi's condition and hugs the girl.

"What's wrong with you, Di? Is there something bad about you again?" ask grandma.

Odi. "It's okay, Grandma. Odi is just sad."

"Sad why? Try the same grandma story."

"Odi niesel, Grandma. Odi should have been grateful and horrified the words of grandma. Let sister Bella say what. Odi shouldn't be a button."

Grandma smile. "But your achievements until now have been good, you know. Now you have started to open up. Interact with others. So you have a lot of friends, right?"

"Yes, Grandma. But because of this popularity, people become arbitrary value of Odi that is not. They don't know Ed personally."

"Yes already. Don't be horrified. What matters is that you are not what they accuse you of. If you are right. Don't be afraid or sad. Udah, rather than sad continue, mingling breakfast aja, yuk. Grandma bought rice."

"Buy the rice sit where, Grandma?"

"That was in front of the house. Grandma bought you two servings."

Odi smiles. "Thank you, Grandma."

"Ni hunted eaten."

"Yes, Grandma. Don't you think grandma eats?"

"So grandma ate, really."

After eating, Odi headed to the room. He wants to activate the phone, but Odi remembers Gery's words. He finally abandoned his intentions.

All day long she spent sleeping in bed, snacking while reading magazines and listening to her idol Kpop music.

Suddenly a voice came out behind the door. "In, it's me, Rani. Open the door, dong."

Rushing Odi opened the door. He glanced at the clock on the wall, not yet the time to go home from school. "Why is he here?"

"Gue pull it out." Rani grimacing. "Some of the time, your phone is off. I'm worried."

She hugged Rani. "Uh, make up my best friend. I'm okay, I'm okay." Then bring him in.

Rani sat on the bedside. "No way. If there is nothing, you can not be inactive cell phone. Wh why? Let's try my same story. Don't use secrets."

"Gue bullied."

"Huh? Wh who? Who would dare to bully me? How insolent of people."

"Gue also does not know and does not know, Ran."

"Couldn't you? People do not know you even though they do not know you."

"Gue bullied netizens on my social media accounts."

"What's? Just report, Di. There is an ITE law. It could get to people."

"No, I did. They're using a shodong account, anyway."

"That's right, don't get me wrong. Now you want to use a bodong account or an original account can be heard and sniffled, you know. Could be criminal, huh. Your finger is your tiger."

"Gue doesn't want the problem to get longer. Yes, enough gini. I'd like to take care of myself, a day without social media and social interaction."

"OKAY. I support. Whatever it is. Oh yeah, here I brought you a snack of potato chips for you. I know you're again for sure laper's luggage."

Odi smiles. "Thank you, Ran. You are my best friend."

Seriate...
