Possibly Back?
Chapter 12 Training in the House of Representatives
Arriving at the DPR
"Finally you came too, Yus. Are these the ones who will be joining our drama theater?" asked a tall man while holding Iyus's hand to do the salutation.
"Yep, that's right, " answered Iyus.
"You please introduce yourself to the brothers who will play with you in this theater" Iyus told Miss, Novi, Rena, and Boy.
"Both my name miss the English major," said Miss.
"Aku Novi from the Indonesian department," said who stood next to Rindu.
"And I'm Rena, from the department of Indonesian as well," said Rena who stood next to Novi.
"Rena? Renata Aja??" goda Iyus recalled the incident in the hall earlier.
"Not Brother, enough Re-na-ta, don't use it, but you can call me Rena. That's my nickname," explains Rena.
"And I'm Boy, familiarly called Boyke, from Biology," said the man who does have a style that is a little gleaming like a woman.
"You're a normal guy, aren't you?" ask Iyus without further ado
"Ih, Brother.. Don't dong, brother. Even this way I'm still a normal guy. Normal, one hundred percent," said Boy by changing the sound of wood to a little ngebass in the end sentence that makes them all laugh.
"If it were me, you would have known because Brother Dewa had said it. My name is Iyus, I am a 3rd semester student of English," Iyus said after his laughter subsided.
"I'm Faizal, but you can call me Kak Faiz, a 3rd semester student majoring in Indonesian," said the man who greeted Iyus with a smile.
"I'm Dania from Bahasa Indonesia as well and the same age as Faiz" said the woman who stood near Faiz.
"I'm Defending an English major. I'm a classmate of Iyus" said the woman next to Dania.
"And I'm Mauri, the cutest in the Indonesian language department," said a large-bodied female narcissist standing near Bela.
"Murphy?" ledek Faizal who got a sharp gaze from Mauri.
"Alright, since we already know each other, now we can immediately start the practice. Bela, have you prepared a script for them?" Iyus asked Bela.
"Of course, this is a drama script for you," replied Bela while sharing some drama script sheets on Rena, Miss, Novi, and Boy.
Rena, Miss, Novi, and Boy picked up the script, then read it.
"What do I get for my role?" asked Rena so see the front cover of the script, because on the cover there is a title, the character and the cast of the character. However, some characters do not yet have the name of the cast.
"It was supposed to determine there was a character called casting, but because our time is very limited, so I as the director of this drama, will immediately determine the character you will play" said Iyus
"Rena you will play Miss Argentina, Novi you become MC, Rindukanu become jury 3, and you Boy, you become Miss Indonesia" Iyus explained.
"Lho, I'm playing Miss Indonesia anyway, sister? I'm a real man" protested Boy who did not accept.
"Read it first! Later you will also understand the reason," said Iyus.
They also read, sheet by sheet the manuscript given to them.
*Oh, not wrong. Whatisthis? The text is all English. I don't really understand it* (in Rena while installing
pouty expression)
Different expressions are shown by Miss and Novi. They read the script with occasional giggles.
Why the hell, two kids? What indeed
the story of this drama is actually (think Rena).
"The drama is very funny, Sis," said Miss who still can not hold back her laughter.
"It's also a comedy drama, so it has to be funny. Funny director, he he," answered Iyus narcissistically.
"So Alan could write the story. He's a theater boy too, brother?" tanya Novi because in the script of the drama is written 'Alan Bagaskara' as a writer.
"Yes, Alan's part of this theater. In fact, he was one of the initiators of the formation of this theater. It's just that because for now he also has to perform in the musical poetry, so he can not play in this drama," Faiz explained.
"In addition, the head of your department is indeed a funny person. Hence, he was able to present a funny story like this," Iyus said.
"Yes, if it's because there's a role I'm also an editor" Iyus said proudly.
"Cih, at least just a few words that you edit, Yus. Alan is indeed good at various lessons, last semester only his GPA value, PERFECT," said Dania proud Alan.
"What's the GPA, brother?" ask Boy.
"Four zero commas" continued Mauri who made Rena, Miss, Novi, and Boy stunned and increasingly admired Alan.
"Nov, what's the story? I don't really understand the contents" whispered Rena.
Rena does not really understand English because since long ago she never liked the subjects. According to him, English is a hypocritical language, between writing with different pronunciations.
Novi explained the drama's story in brief. The drama that will be played by Rena and her friends tells about the selection of the Miss Universe event which was presented in a comedy style.
Rena himself got the role of Miss Argentina named Gabriela Betistuta, the name of a play from the famous Argentine soccer player, Gabriel Batistuta.
In the event of a talent show, Rena who plays Miss Argentina will show her talent to play the ball by relying on the strength of her calf.
"Aren't you wrong? Shame dong me," lamented Rena.
"Relax Na, you can, of course" Novi said, encouragingly with his hands clenched upwards.
Novi and Rindu also taught Rena how to pronounce every sentence that will be said correctly. Then what movements should be displayed Rena in each scene.
"Aduuuuuuuh. when I was in high school I used to play dramas, but never dramas like this. It's all because of Alan, fucking Alan!!!! " sluffing Rena frustrated.
"Hus!! Rena, be careful when you talk! You don't realize what, if you're surrounded by Alan's fans again," said Novi looking around.
"Yes, I know," replied Rena pouting.
"Well, have you now read and understood the script of the play?" Iyus asked facing the whole thing.
"Yes," answered everything in unison, except for Rena who seemed reluctant to answer.
"Then we start training. Consider this his stage. To your right and left is the door to enter and exit the player" said Iyus
"Okay, is everything ready?! One, two, three, start" Iyus exclaimed.
Training began, Iyus played as a director and narrator in the drama because Nindi who was supposed to be the narrator at that time was not present. Faizal played the 1st judge, Bella as the 2nd judge, Mauri as Miss Japan, and Dania as Miss Brazil.
The training that day went pretty well. Although Rena seems nervous, anxious, and tense, but it does not make it difficult to play a role.
The practice is repeated several times to strengthen the players. But even so, the training this time can be said to be successful because all players can do their roles quite well.
"Finally, finished also the exercise," said Rena relieved while throwing his body on the grass
the one in the park.
"Great, you, Na! I'm sure all will not be anyone who thinks if you actually do not speak English," said Rindu.
"Thank you, but I'm still worried about the same tomorrow. What if I forget the same dialogue? " naena sahut.
"Relax Na, I'm sure that won't happen. Everything will be fine" said Novi trying to calm the turmoil of Rena.
"Because the training is over, then you can all go home. Do not forget to prepare the costume that you will wear tomorrow" said Iyus.
"But sister, I don't have an Argentina soccer jersey, sister, " said Rena.
"Oh, then let me prepare. You will live on it," said Iyus.
"Me too, brother, because I don't have a kebaya shirt" Boy said.
"Calm Boy, I'll bring it to you later" said Bela.
After the costume discussion was over, they disbanded and went home to each other.
