Odi's Story

Eight

"In, you so to the badminton exkul?" rani asked while putting the books in the bag.

"So, dong. Bang Gery wants to do me," replied Odi while occasionally looking at the yellow watch.

"But it's ten minutes past the school bell. Why hasn't Bang Gery nyamperin?"

"Yes, here. Bang Gery can't forget, right."

"Let's call, huh."

Odi took the phone in his pocket. Pressed the number he had already memorized out of his head.

"Hallo, Bang. Lo where is it?"

"Hallo, In. Sorry, yes. Go home first. I'm in the same mood as Ical."

"Oh, continues to mean you're not going to take me to the badminton gym, are you?"

"Oh, yes. I forget. Sorry, Di."

"Yes, you tell me where the room is."

"In building B, the corner room of the perpus deck. The blue door."

"OKAY. I went there myself."

"Sorry, yes."

"Yes, it's a nyantuy, Bang."

Odi pressing the red icon. Then heave a breath.

"Why, Di? Bang Gery can't do it?" Rani wants to know.

"Yes, he said he again nugas the same. My antherin yes, Ran."

"Oh, I'd like to get a PMR, Di. Sorry." which." Rani put on a sorry expression.

Odi pursed his lips. "Well, that means I'm alone, huh."

"Time to room exkul cheers lo can be alone, time to room exkul badminton not dare, anyway?"

Finally, Odi went to that place alone. It is not difficult to find, because there is only one room next to the library. The room with the blue door looked quiet.

Odi knocked on the door. There's no answer. He tried knocking again. If there is no answer this time, he will leave the room. After several beats, the door finally opened. Get someone out of the room, with a sleepy face. Looks like Odi woke up his sleep.

"Lo who? What's the need?" ask the man while yawning.

"Gue Maudi Wulandari tenth grade IPS one, want to ask about the badminton exkul," replied Odi.

The man looked surprised, he hurriedly turned his face gesture into a cool pretentious. And managed to make Odi rotate his eyeballs.

"Oh, I'm Dava." The man introduced himself and extended a hand.

Not replying, Odi just smiled stiffly.

Feeling his hands unwelcome, Dava hurriedly said, "Yep, come in. There are other kids too, huh."

Odi entered the room. His eyes began to move around. The room was smaller than the cheers practice room he had ever seen. The three-by-four-square-meter room contained only one large table and several seats around it. This room deserves to be called a meeting room instead of a sports room. Odi saw the organizational structure on the whiteboard attached to the north side of the door wall. It says Dava Satria is the chairman. Now Odi knows, it turns out the man who opened the door was the chairman of this exkul.

In the room were two other people. One of them had a familiar face. Ah, Odi remembered. He's Joshua, Gery's classmate. They met once at Gery's house. Joshua was surprised to see Odi. But then he smiled.

Dava sees Joshua smiling at Odi, then asks, "Lo know him, Jo?"

"He's Odi, Gery's brother Va" Joshua replied.

Yes, Odi is often introduced by Gery as a sister to his friends. Because they grew up together from Kindergarten until now.

"What about Gery?" Dava this time asked Odi.

"Yes, I'm Bang Gery. Not a sack, anyway. Tetangga but emang from small together continue," replied Odi.

Dava moved his brows up and down, smiling he said, "Oh, that means I still have a chance, nih."

Odi silently hears the temptation of Dava. Congolese heart. Because badminton is not what he thinks. Why didn't Gery tell him, if this ex-kul has a shitty chairman like Dava. If you know this, Odi should follow Rani's advice. Pairing the intention of registering this exkul. He regretted his actions for wanting to join. But the rice has become porridge.

"Okay, now you sit down," Dava orders while shifting the chair to Odi. Then Dava sat down on the chair across the table with his two friends.

"In this exculus, there are no selections. Everyone can come. Just fill in the form to continue to leave every Saturday at ten in GOR GCT Warung Buncit area," explained Dava.

"Not at school?" great-grandson Odi.

"Schools don't have badminton courts, they're more comfortable training outside." Dava took the form and handed it to Odi.

"Fill, tomorrow you come here or look for me in the eleventh grade of IPS three" he continued.

The man in the hat next to Joshua, known as Chandra, watched Odi closely. "Eh, hang on, man. I think you were fighting Bella in the cafeteria, right?"

Odi shocked. Then he nodded slowly.

"Well, ati-ati lo, Dav. You can abis same him, not to mention the Gery nambahin. Danger, Dav." Chandra commented again with a laugh.

Instead of being afraid or worried, Dava was even more enthusiastic. "Seriously? You're the same claws as Bella?"

Odi put his head back on. Then grimace.

The news has not receded. It was almost a month ago. In fact he was ashamed to be known as the one who fought with Bella in the cafeteria. Ah, how else. Odi must be quickly popular so that the news is not heard again.

***

Odi is now in front of the school's main gate. Odi had seen the registration form of badminton exkul in his hand. "Should I just cancel, yeah."

"But, this is one of my chances to be popular and defeat Bella."

"Bodo, uh. I'm as good as the boss who's so smart." When Odi was about to tear the form suddenly his order object a few minutes ago, came. He finally did not tear the paper and put it in the bag.

"Mac Maudy, right."

"Yes, Mum."

The driver handed the helmet to Odi. "This is the helmet, ma'am."

Odi immediately picked up and put on a helmet. Then rush to the bike. "Pick the road, Mas. I'm laper, here."

Without replying, the driver drove the bike.

On the way to the house, Odi accidentally saw Ical chatting with a girl.

"Lho, he said Bang Gery again nugas the same Ical. This is even Ical even the same girl, anyway. Ah, maybe it's done, kali, '" Odi's mind.

Finally after a few minutes, Odi reached home.

"False, Mas. I love five stars." Odi took out a piece of twenty thousand dollars and gave it to the driver of the motorcycle. "Take it back."

Odi glanced at the garage next door to his house. But he didn't see Gery's vespa parked there.

"Who, no? Has Bang Gery not come home yet?"

"Bodo ah, I'm laper." Odi opened the gate and ran in.

Seriate...
