Celine at School

Today James faced the Headmaster for permission to take Celine to look around the school. James was waiting for the hazing of himself to subside first, so that Celine did not see himself in the condition of being the months in school.

James got that permission. Only, Celine was allowed to enter after the lesson hours were over.

This was welcomed by James. After arriving home, James immediately relayed it to Mama and Celine.

"Izin is already obtained. So Celine when are you going there? Let Mama take her. Tomorrow?" mama Ratna asked Celine.

Celine looked tense as she held onto her thumping chest.

"Liet down. Until Celine's ready. Don't forced. The school did not run, really," said James tried to calm Celine by asking jokes.

"Father. Tomorrow," break up Celine.

Seeing that, Mama Ratna and James smiled faintly. They saw Celine really trying to achieve what she wanted, to be more courageous to face people. A first step in preparing yourself for his future.

"OKAY. Tomorrow Mama interracial. But later Celine came home with James well .." said Mama Ratna while stroking Celine's head.

"Yes," Celine replied briefly.

"James, your HP should stand by well .... So, if we're in front of the school, Mama's gonna call. You'll pick Celine up at the gate" Mama Ratna said again, but this time to James.

"Ready, boss!" james said while saluting like a military soldier.

The conversation ended. Everyone looks forward to tomorrow with a spirit in their hearts.

...****************...

Tomorrow comes. Since the sixth lesson, James has been back and forth looking at HP and his watch. She is waiting for Celine to come to school.

Until finally heard the sound of a bell sign teaching and learning activities ended. Shortly thereafter, his HP went off. There was a short message from her mother who said they were already in front of the school gate. James immediately headed out with a thumping heart.

At the gate, James saw his mother and Celine were waiting for him. Celine looks cute with her blue shirt and the white skirt she wears.

"Well, James has arrived. Titip Celine yes, James. My mother lives yeah .... Celine must be upbeat and brave! Take it easy, consider it an ordinary walk. Okay?" Mama Ratna conveyed her messages while peeking at Celine's cheek.

"Yes, Ma." Celine replied with a faint smile on her face. He could not hide his tension.

"Same, Ma. Just calm. Bang James is ready beside the Princess." James answered Mama Ratna while patting her chest.

Mama Ratna smiled at James and Celine's reply. Shortly thereafter, he left the location.

"Yeah, Lin." James took Celine in while holding his hand.

James then reported to security, that he had been given permission to take outsiders into the school area. Without much questioning, security allowed James and Celine to enter.

"Celine wants to see what first?" ask James.

"Just as Bang James is," replied Celine who was still a bit timid. His eyes looked around like they were scanning for something that might pose a threat to him.

"OKAY. One-on-one we explore well .... Think of it like an adventure to the country of nowhere," said James with a grin.

Seeing the attitude of James who tried to ask him to joke, Celine smiled. He knew James was trying to relax him. But the nervousness did not go away, but increased.

Celine realized that since entering the parking area, many pairs of eyes from students who pay attention to her. There were even those who immediately whispered or giggled to the friend next to him, after seeing the two of them.

"Don't mind, Lin. They used to see new people. Bang James was the first time to enter here during an interview, also called. Just cuekin!" james knows what makes Celine nervous.

Celine tried to follow James' advice by focusing more on enjoying the scenery in the school area. He saw several sports fields, entering the hallway and atrium, to look around the classroom, library, and lab room.

The atmosphere of the school is still crowded. Seen some group of students who seemed to be walking towards the exit or parking area while chatting or joking. There are also many students who are still following their excursion activities in each field, which are seen in the places they pass.

Some of them greeted James or just nodded their heads when their eyes met. James responded kindly to their treatment.

Until they finally arrived at the BK room. James proudly showed off the workspace to Celine.

"Well .. This is BK's room, Lin. Bang James' throne is here." said James, sitting in his great chair.

Celine looked at James's behavior while smiling knots. He then anchored his gaze around the room, "Yes, Bang James opened the conference here well ...."

"Not a trial. Consultation as well" added James.

"Hm ...." Celine responded to James' words with just a mutter. His eyes were still engrossed in exploring the small room.

James let Celine enjoy her monitoring. After looking around, Celine opened the curtains and let the sun through the window. Then he enjoyed the view of the school from the 2nd floor. (noted: the BK room is located on the 2nd floor. The window faces toward the tennis and basketball courts, where James is a ball player - eps 46).

James smiled looking at Celine who seemed to be enjoying her personal time. Celine looks comfortable here. Maybe because this is James' personal space, so he feels more free to explore. Or maybe it is also because the 2nd floor is starting to be quiet, because many students have left school.

I don't know how much time passed, until Celine finally closed the window and curtains to their original position. After that, he approached James.

"Have you?" james asked with a smile.

"Already" replied Celine.

"Where are you going?"

"Bang James's Sun."

"You want to see the canteen? Looking for food and drinks for fun?" james's suggestion while grinning.

"Gas!" Celine replied with a sweet smile.

Then they left the room and went back down the school hallways.

In the middle of the road when they wanted to move buildings, they passed by the Princess Gang who came from the opposite direction.

"Heiiii, hello, sir!" greet Rebecca. Priscillia and the others simply nodded their heads to greet James.

"Hi, hey, hi, hey! Who are you, Rebecca?! Be polite if you talk to your teacher!" scold James.

"Eh .... Who is this, sir?" rebecca asked without regard for James's reprimand.

Suddenly Priscillia, Cecilia, and Sharon set their sights behind James.

James, who had been in front of Celine and covered Celine from their sight, immediately rewinded his body so that Celine became visible.

"Ah, come here, acquaintance! Lin, this is the Princess Gang. This is Priscillia, Sharon, Cecilia, and this one is Rebecca," James said as he introduced the members of the Princess Gang one by one to Celine.

"Haiyrs .... Greetings ..." said the four of them almost simultaneously.

"And this is Celine, my cousin." James continued his introduction.

"I'm sorry, Celine is a bit shy" James said.

"Father, relax .." said Priscillia while smiling kindly at Celine.

"Where are you at school? Was I looking at our school before I got in here?" ask Cecilia.

Hearing that question, Celine bowed. James saw that Celine seemed to have no confidence in answering the question.

"Because of shyness, Celine homeschooled all this time. Now he is training himself to learn courage to prepare for college later," replied James representing Celine.

Priscillia was stunned to hear James's description. "You are great, you dare to take steps to change yourself in preparing for the future. Keep up the spirit yeah!"

"Thank you!" celine replied in response to Priscillia's praise.

"If you are more courageous and want to go to school here, you can join us" Sharon invited.

"Yes, let alone your name already qualified as a member of the Princess Gang," continued Cecilia.

Celine stupefiedly did not understand the direction of their conversation. James who realized this immediately gave an explanation.

"The name of the Princess Gang was taken from the combined consonant letters of their name, Lin. P of Priscillia. R by Rebecca. C from Cecilia, and S from Sharon" James said.

"But, Bang .... The first letter of Celine is C. While the Princess writing only has 1 letter C. Whoko?" ask Celine.

Hearing that, James and the Princess Guild fell silent. They didn't think until there.

"Father. Later the name of the gang we change to Princess!" cork Rebecca ngasal.

"Okay, ah! So ugly! We'll be considered a smoker again!" cecilia protest.

All of them laughed together, including Celine.

"Cock you guys haven't come home yet?" james asked to change the subject.

"It's coming home, sir. Just waiting for Priscillia to finish her painting exculpation," replied Rebecca.

"Oh .... You're in exculpation painting?" asked James who was a bit surprised by Priscillia's exculpatory choice. They had not been able to walk through the art room.

"It's just that, sir. Participate in the exercise is mandatory," answered Priscillia relaxed.

"Hmmm ... Okay .." replied James who was confused how to respond.

"Yes, we say yes, sir! Go home first! Yuk, Celine!" priscillia said shutting the conversation down.

"Yes, Please. Be careful!" answer James.

"Yes," Celine responded.

"Well, sir, Celine, we'll excuse you!" sharon and Cecilia said together.

"Drug, Celine .... I hope we can see you again .... If Mr. James doesn't do it, I'll see you tomorrow!" rebecca said as she began to wander away.

Her friends laughed together as they followed Rebecca. Earlier, they nodded their heads again in an excuse sign.

Celine waved and James nodded his head, ushering in the departure of the Princess Guild. After they were barely seen again, James said, "Truly the Rebecca One. Don't copy it, Lin!"

Celine did not respond to James. His eyes still pointed at Priscillia and her friends.

"Lin? Lin ...?" call James again.

"Eh, Yes, Bang James. Why?" celine's newly conscious reply was called.

"Father. Bang James just asked, so we're going to the cafeteria?" ask James.

"So. Yuk, Bang!" take Celine along while continuing her steps.

James knew there was something Celine was thinking, something related to Priscillia or the Princess Gang. But now he chose to let it go first.

"Gas!" answer James. Then they headed to the school cafeteria.

...****************...

That night at PKW, Mama Ratna asked Celine to tell her about her experiences at school. James was strictly forbidden to assist or represent Celine. Mama Ratna wanted to hear from Celine's own mouth.

Slowly Celine told me what she saw and felt. How big the school is, the school facilities are quite complete, until the meeting with the Princess Gang. All members of the Wijaya family focused on listening to Celine's words.

After Celine finished telling the story, Papa Heru asked Celine in a gentle tone, "Celine is going to school already? Interested in school there?"

Everyone who heard the question was rather shocked, especially Celine.

"If Celine wants to, Papa Mama will try," added Papa Heru.

"Because of the elite schools, the entrance money and the tuition are expensive, Lin. But if Celine wants to, then try Bang James Nego with the Headmaster. Maybe because Bang James is a teacher there, can get a discount," added James.

"Yes, Lin. If it's still lacking, Bang Alex can help save the salary as well." Alex supports the proposal of his father and James.

Celine fell silent while watching the facial features of all members of the Wijaya family with a look of disbelief. Mama Ratna immediately embraced Celine.

"Don't hesitate .... Celine we've considered our own child" he told Celine.

Celine was silent for a long time. Until he finally smiled and nodded. "Ga got Papa, Mama, Bang James, Bang Alex. Thank ye. But Celine picked this up first."

"Do you really want that?" mama Ratna asked as she cupped her hands together on Celine's face.

"Yes, Mama," Celine replied firmly.

Since Celine had already decided so, the entire Wijaya family fell silent. After talking about some other topics, PKW that night was closed and everyone went into their respective rooms.

In the room, lying in bed, Alex asked James, "James, why don't Celine ask her son or maybe send him something for the living expenses or education costs of his son?"

"Where is! That's the goal, Bang! Let the cave blush! He saw at that time the cave was just about to graduate, so he thought that maybe the cave could mengempaninan his son and the cost of his son's education. Especially at that time Celine's condition was like that! Original doski hands off, Bang!" james answered ketus.

"Bg .... Very good yeah .... Are there parents like that?" chirps Alex.

"Emmberr .... The proof is in sono! Huh, ah! Sleepy cave! Sleep first, Bang!" James closed the short conversation. He was lazy to remember Mr. Adipratama with his arrogance. It just stirs his emotions. If it continues, the fear will even cause nightmares, James thought.
