REX AND REN
Celebration Together
After watching papa and mama, Ren walked towards the parking lot, I hurried to take a spin behind him. Unlike usual, Ren did not seem to protest. He just glanced at me, then greeted me with the expression ‘ stupid times'. Okay, I'm used to that ‘ dumb days expression, but seeing Ren's more calm attitude like this, there must be something.
For example, like last night, Ren did not mind me spending all the chicken thighs stew, usually he must be immediately angry. But he did not protest in the slightest and even relented by eating his wings. It's like not Ren, his attitude now looks more ‘jinak'.
“Wah, tumben out together. Very nice looking.” greet Mr. Alif when we arrive.
“Iya dong, Sir. Twins should be gini, get along.” godaku. But Ren just bawled recklessly into the car, again without the slightest protest. Mr. Alif and I can only look at each other, of course he must also be surprised.
“Let's Pak cepetan, later late.” said Ren with intonation that is not as usual, this sounds softer.
“Oh, yes Mbak.” Mr. Alif rushed to the wheel, I immediately followed Ren up to the car. The car drove by and Ren was seen reading a book, while I could only stare at him with a million questions in my brain. Something must be wrong.

The hour of rest arrived, as soon as the bell rang, I immediately rushed out to the toilet. My eyes felt very sleepy because I heard Ms. Ningsih telling me about the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs in the history lesson. I don't know what this school thinks puts history in the first hour of lessons!
I immediately lit the sink and washed my face, feeling very fresh. I've decided to find out what really happened to Ren. As her twin, I can't stay silent looking at Ren's strange demeanor. For that I will activate my ‘mode detective' for the sake of digging information from the only reliable source, Maya. After I washed my hands with liquid soap and wiped them with a tissue, I came out of the toilet. But suddenly something surprised me, exactly someone.
“Eh, buset!” I was surprised while holding my chest.
“Eh, sorry, I missed you, huh?” ask a girl who is now standing in front of me.
“This is a guy's toilet, a girl's toilet is right there.” I said while pointing to the next room, where I know a stray girl.
“Ngeselin really, hell!” unfortunately, his face was now pouting.
“What?” I could only look at him in wonder. Is it my fault that it pisses him off? My intentions are good.
“You don't remember me at all?” Huh huh? Who is he? I'm shaking.
“Ngak,” answered. The girl immediately flicked her hair with a face that was getting upset. Hey, don't blame me, 'cause I don't know him at all!
“I'm Vania, who was giving sushi that time.” she explained. Vania's? Tapping my chin, I tried to dig up my memory. The sushi? Vania's? Ahah!
“Oh...sushi it? Which is basketball game time, right?” Vania nodded in excitement, it turned out that her smile was sweet too.
“Finally you remember.”
“Clearly dong, your sushi is delicious loh.” Powerful moves to please girls, give compliments. But that's not the origin of praise anyway, because the sushi made by Vania at that time was delicious. But wait, what does he mean here?
“Terus, what are you doing here? This is a boys toilet. You want to take a look?”
“Enak! I'm not a perverted girl!”
“Home...” said while grinning.
“I came here deliberately to make your nyari.” details.
“Why?”
“I like you.”
Wow.si Vania this, bar-bar once the answer. I don't know what's going on, but hearing her statement puts my brain out for a few seconds.
Okay, let's think clearly, usually girls who want to be close to me will definitely use tactics; be sweet. For example, Icha, my classmate, always gives contekkan if I am not ready for PR. Audrey, the XI B class kid who always invites me to talk about basketball, even though I know she never had a history as a basketball player. Not to mention Sandy who always greeted with a friendly smile whenever, wherever we passed by no matter the rainstorm. But none of them openly expressed their feelings. And this Vania who was standing in front of me said so easily, in front of the toilet again. Waw...
“So, Rex, how?”
“What?” I found my voice slightly shaking. Don't tell me I'm groggy. Come on, Rex.he's just a girl like everyone else, the only difference is he's braver.
“You want to be my girlfriend?” Like being attacked in a row, my hair immediately stood up to hear his words.
Oh my God..What are these trials?
“Where, Rex?” exacting. I was scratching my head which was actually not itchy, rather I was just confused as to how and answer what. Vania really didn't give me time to think. Amidst the confusion, I saw the person I was looking for from a distance. Maya looks to be walking towards the canteen. Ahah!
“Sorry, Vania, I'm in a hurry. Bye.” Without having a chance to react, Vania immediately ran away using the style of wild horse Sumbawa without looking again. My heart feels like it's coming out. This is the first time I've felt this way. Now I know not only scary horror movies but the girl who expressed her feelings in a bar-bar turned out to be more scary. I unconsciously shuddered with that thought.

Maya looks shocked when she sees me standing in front of her.
“Why you? Pursued demon?” tanyakanya. I waved my hand while breathing.
“Not. Okay, don't talk about it, it doesn't matter.”
“Terus?”
“Someone I want to ask you,”
“What?”
“You know why Ren?”
“Ren? Why then?”
“Yes, he lately looks weird, it's.” Maya was just wailing without caring about my words. Nyari what the hell is he?
“May!” myrag.
“Aduh, Rex. Can not say it later, I'm really laper, nih.” lamented while holding the stomach. I looked around, really, we were in the cafeteria.
“OK, what do you want to eat? I'm the last one.”
“Serious?” maya answered with sparkling eyes. I just nodded, I was hungry too, but my energy felt sucked out of running.
“Somay only, good to think.” We went straight to the somay stand and got two plates. Right, I need to recover my energy.
“So, what did you want to ask?”
“Goal, Ren. She's been so weird lately.”
We sat at the end of the table eating somay.
“Whimsy how?” ask Maya who is adding soy sauce to her somay. I myself do not really like soy sauce, I think the food will be strange if mixed with a lot of soy sauce.
“Yes, she's getting calmer. Usually you know that Ren is the same as me. Keep him so busy, read books about programming continue sometimes like to smile on his own.” cerocosku.
That's right, once one night I accidentally peeked into his room, it just so happened that the door was open. Ren as usual, was studying but there was no wind, no rain, he looked smiling to himself.
“Oh..maybe it's because he participated in the computer.” Maya replied.
“Ekskul computer?” surprised me.
“Iya. Ren joined the computer club, it's been about a week. Did he not tell?”
“You don't know Ren, where he might have told me the same story.”
“Hmm..iya also, sih.”
“But, May. This serious? Ren is in excul?” I ask again, still can't believe it. It's an amazing thing I heard about Ren, but it's hard to believe.
“Iya, really.” firmly Maya.
Okay, first of all, Maya can't possibly lie because she's Ren's only friend, so Ren automatically tells Maya everything. Second, Maya I've been buying somay, so if she's lying I swear she's fretting. Third, Ren's on computer? Ren's? It's totally unexpected. She went from ash to Cinderella overnight. This is big news!

Unbeknownst to Ren, she had apparently prepared a family party at dinner. Ren immediately gawked down from his room, the dining room was decorated with colorful balloons and CONGRATULATIONS ON HIS COMPUTER CLUB which was plastered on shiny paper.
“Congratulations, Ren!” mama's words were accompanied by a voice of confetti held by her. Papa and I were sitting sweetly at the dinner table.
“Anaan anyway, Ma?” ren protests as mom leads him to sit down.
“Rex says, you are now participating in computer science, yes? Duh, Ren...mama is a really good name, deh!”
Ren immediately gave his death look to me. As usual I replied with a grin.
“But not to be crawled too times, Ma.”
“Must dong, Ren. This is a big advance. Finally you start to open up, mom is very proud.”
“Iya, Ren. Papa also really seneng you began to be able to mingle with friends of your age.” Papa's turn to say.
“Commonly, Pa. Not too long ago either. Anyway, that's advice from the teacher to add the value of Ren's college application later.”
“Whatever the reason, mama, papa, also Rex, we are cool and proud of Ren.” is obviously mama with teary eyes. I can understand, just like my parents, I'm also worried that Ren can't get along like most normal teenagers. I mean, how will he be?
“Makanya Ren, if you can it follow the other exckul as well, so that every day can eat big kayak gini.” my god to melt the atmosphere that began to feel mellow. Ren just stared at me sharply with his mouth kamit.
WATCH YOU!
I read her lips and could only giggle. Let him threaten me with what is important right now I am very happy with Ren's change, and I hope he will continue like this.
