"For all.." Dennis said with a bright smile.
"Dear, your tumben came early in the morning?" Said Bu Nala while eating fried rice in front of him.
"You're gonna grab Dennis' thing that missed Auntie."
"Oh, yaudah grab the stuff later. Now breakfast first." Said Bu Nala scooping a plate of rice for Dennis.
"Ah, Auntie you know that Dennis hasn't had breakfast, hehhe.." He said while pulling the empty chair next to me.
"That's why you have to move everything, right if you are here delicious. Aunty can also cook for you, so you don't have to bother to cook or buy food outside."
"Yes you are Den." Timpal Adi's.
"Hehhe, Dennis would also like to learn to live independently Om, Auntie."
"Have you said you want to be free to roam." Add Adi's Father.
"Oh my goodness, that's not dong either."
"When did Lo come?" Said Mr. Juan who suddenly came from behind.
"Hey brother, I just came."
"Eh Ri, tumben Lo diem aja." Dennis nudged me.
"Eh, ngga. Riri's throat is a bit itchy so just diem. Uhm.ehm.." My mouth while holding my throat is actually fine.
"Why didn't you say that?" Said Mr. Juan, who then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Moments later he returned with a glass of warm water mixed with honey and lemon.
"Drink!" He said thrusting a glass of honey water mixed with lemon in front of me.
I caught a glimpse of both my in-laws and Dennis staring puzzledly at me as well as Mr. Juan.
"Eh, no need sir. The sting was better too. Riri also can't stand sour fruit." Reject me, then I pull the glass out of my sight.
"I said drink, it's good for your throat. I've mixed it with honey anyway, so it won't taste too sour." He said he returned the drink in front of me.
"Yes, honey, in a drink. Later your throat so add gatel loh if not in drinking." Timpal Bu Nala's.
"Oh my heart" I said, and I took it out of Juan's hand and immediately swallowed it.
"You're the kind of person who always wants to be noticed?" Said Mr. Juan again by suddenly wiping the tip of my lips with his hand so that I was surprised.
"Eh, eng.ngga sir." My elak was quick, clasping his hands slowly because again both my in-laws and Dennis were staring at us which made me even more clumsy.
"It's eight and a half, sir, mending we leave now. Ntar's late." I try to distract myself again.
"Yes, you wait in the car. I'm gonna take my stuff for a minute." He said and then walked up the stairs to the top floor.
"Darling? Have you succeeded?" Asked Bu Nala who looked very curious from the look of her eyes.
"Eh, that...." Suddenly I was confused as to what to answer.
"Yes managed to dong Bu. Yesterday..."
"Mother?" I shouted a little, to the surprise of those in front of me.
"Geez, baby, you've got it." Said Bu Nala while massaging her chest slowly.
"I.iya sorry, hehhe..!" I'm not good.
"Why baby? What are you talking about?" Connect Bu Nala.
"Eh, hm.. Riri can have her fried chicken not make Riri's provisions at school." I'm original.
"Geez, I guess what's up. Yes can dong, anyways really tumben you want to bring supplies?"
"Hehhe yes, because Riri likes very much the same fried chicken made by Mother." I smiled broadly.
"Jaudah bring aja darling, all of them are also allowed so that you can eat with your friends later at school. Bentar, I took the box first yeah." Said Bu Nala who then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Huftttt, congratulations." Batinku.
As soon as we finished preparing the supplies and Mr. Juan dropped back down, we were both saying goodbye to going to school.
-
"You got a dress rehearsal today at the school hall for tomorrow's event?" Asked Juan without taking his eyes off the front because he was busy driving.
"Yes sir, why?" My heart ended with a question while looking at him.
"What time's it?" Added again.
"Ehm. Start at 4 pm, most completed at 5 or at the latest at half 6. Oiya, I don't have to wait for Riri, so Riri will come home with Kania alone."
" A..what the fuck? Most of my toughest illness so far is just a cough and cold, taking medicine a day two days also healed. Why bring the lives of all. And again my throat is fine now, right, I just feel awkward because there's Dennis, so I'm looking for such an excuse." My mind while looking confusedly at him.
After a 30-minute drive, we finally arrived at school.
While passing through the school hall building, I saw some children busy arranging the room, and decorating the stage for tomorrow's event. For a moment I was silent at the door while watching those who were busy inside there.
"Well?" A voice surprised me.
"Ck, Lo Kan? Who am I?!" My words that turned for a while towards him then looked back into the hall.
"No bugup?"
"Banget!" My mouth, while holding my chest that has started to pound a little, but the show will only start tomorrow, but my heart has started pounding now.
"Hahha, relax dong. We all support Lo." Kania embraced me.
After a few minutes of looking at the situation inside the hall, Kania and I immediately walked towards our classroom as the bells rang.
-
"Why does it feel like today time is passing so fast, isn't it?" I said as I held onto my chest which had started to get nervous again.
"Then anyway? A very old feeling."
"Huhhhh, I'm nervous. Though new gladi resik." I said repeatedly sighing.
"Today, you're gladi's in the hall?" Tanya Jaka approached me.
"Yes Jak."
"The Spirit of Ri" Shouted Gandhi.
"Yes, Ri's spirit. We all support Lo." Peekit Sherly's.
"Yes, Ri's spirit." Shouted them all.
"Thanks ya guys" I said.
After putting all my books in the bag, I, Kania who were also accompanied by Jaka, Gandhi and Sherly, we walked together towards the hall building. When I first entered, I saw that there were already many candidates lined up on the stage. Without waiting any longer I immediately went up and joined them. This time there are 18 student representatives from each class including me.
The host explained what we had to do tomorrow, and how we got on and off the stage in turn. After about 15 minutes of explaining, we were told to practice it.
All one by one are called to pose on the stage like a model. Until it was my turn to be called.
Glug
I'm back nervous.
"Jude, bismillah." Mumbles.
Then with confidence I went up on stage and did the pose like a model, after finishing when I was about to go down the stairs, I did not see any wires that made me stumble, and I lost my balance..
"Yetoo..."My screeches.
Grep
I squinted my eyes hard. I felt my body crash but it didn't hurt at all.
Without lingering I opened my eyes, and how surprised I was to see someone helping me.
"Sir Juan?" Said surprised.
"You all right? Are you hurt? Is anyone sick?" He panicked, checking my body.
"R.. Riri is not papa kok sir."
"Who put this cable so carelessly?" Shouted Mr. Juan with all his anger, while throwing the cable strong so that makes the people in this room all become downcast and afraid.
"Sir, already. Riri does not papa kok" I said slowly while trying to calm him.
"Apanya yang tidak apa-apa, karna keteledoran salah satu dari mereka itu, hampir saja membuat orang yang ku..." Ujarnya yang tiba-tiba menghentikan ucapannya.
Instantly everyone including me stared straight at Mr. Juan.
"Ma. Because the carelessness of one of you almost made the contestants wretched. Didn't you think about it?" He again continued.
"Sorry, sorry Sir. It's my fault." One of the staff apologized.
"Ehm, yasuda. I hope that you and all of you who prepared this room will not make this mistake again. I don't like mistakes very much." His words again confirmed before exiting the hall.
"Hufht was finally able to breathe in relief." I sighed.
"This was the first time he had shown his anger exploding like this before the crowd." My mind was staring at the door that passed through it.
"Eh, wait.. What did Juan say?" 🤔
