Sunflowers

Second strategy

A little boy about seven years old sat with ice cream in his hand. Enjoying the view of the lake that he had not visited for a long time. Because this place is far from his home and only time for school holidays he will come here. His papa hometown.

Today the air was very cold, it was still nine in the morning. Mark, that kid's called Mark. There was nothing more calming than staring at a calm lake.

“Hei.”

Mark looked at the source of the voice. There were grandfathers more or less the same age as his grandfather, looking at him with a smile.

Mark only responded by raising his eyebrows next to his. The grandfather smiled in response to Mark's response.

“Aren't afraid of me?” the old man was sitting next to Mark who was still cool with his ice cream. “Seems not.”

“What do you need to find me?” ask Mark.

“Size a boy like you the way he talks is quite unique.” Reply to the grandfather.

“I don't curl you.”

The grandfather smiled then took out something from inside his suit. “This is my beautiful grandson isn't it?”

Mark glanced at the photo that grandfather had displayed earlier. He's not interested.

“Then?”

“You are not interested in my grandson?” ask Mark.

Mark looked at the photo a long time ago and shook his head.

“Wah pity when my grandson is beautiful.”

“You want to match your grandchild with me?”

Grandpa was a little surprised. “You are indeed a smart boy.”

Mark grunting. “I'm seven years old if you don't know.”

“Of course I know.” Grandpa looked at Mark. “Jaga my grandson.”

Mark raised his original eleven. “I'm not interested, why not suckle the people back there.”

The grandfather followed Mark's gaze and smiled. “Choose one of them.”

“I've told you I'm not interested.”

“Really?” grandfather made sure. “It's a pity that my grandson is beautiful and adorable.” He was about to re-enter a picture of his grandson in a suit.

But his hand stopped, “Why? Change of mind?”

“I choose him.” Point Mark at one of the men in black back there.

Grandpa nodded with a smile. “Good choice.”

“Agatha!”

I was shocked to hear that voice. Lia ran towards me with all her might, who was the girl being chased after?

“Why run? Chased ex?”

“Gue has no ex.” Sahut Lia's.

“Ah time.” My god.

“Lo diem what I tampol.”

“Takutyaa.” My god is stronger. Lia's face was already flushed. Actually the girl has one ex and until now has not moved on. “Not moved on kan lo.”

Lia sneering. “Kalo already know diem aja kampret.”

My laughter broke, teasing Lia was indeed very pleasant.

“Btw, later sports hours there is a running practice.” Lia said, I am waiting for the continuation of that sentence. “Lo how?”

“Gue don't come.” My reply. “Don't get the value of no problem than kicked to my korea with grandpa.”

Lia chuckles. “Gue likes lo style. The teachers also know.”

I nodded confirming, there's no way the teachers don't know. It must have been after the incident that I fainted after running that late, grandfather had already intervened.

Because after that incident every time I made a mistake, my punishment never ran. That's very profitable.

“Lo have taken medicine?” whispered Lia.

I hung around trying not to look into Lia's eyes. “Udah.”

Lia's eyes were eyeing suspiciously. “Masa?”

I nodded quickly. “Bener.”

“Gak ya—“

“Agatha!”

I stared at the source of the voice, why are so many shouting my name this morning. “Why?”

Sata came with a pouch in his right hand. “Nih no deposit for lo.”

“Mark.”

“Hah?”

“From Mark must be eaten he said. I'm going to a difficult class to talk to people not clear.” He walked quickly to class.

Lia and I looked at each other. “Dia why?”

Lia shrugged her shoulders not knowing. “What is it?”

I opened the parcel. “Food equals fruit.”

“It's safe to eat?” lia asked a little suspiciously.

“Safe is quiet.” My reply.

“Kalo has poison how?”

“Yaudah means I'll die.”

“Enteng really mouth talk.” Flat Lia. I chuckle.

“Please it's safe kok.”

Lia nodded. “Since when do you deket the same Mark?”

I'm thinking a little. “Emang we deket?”

“Kalo no deket no way he brought you provisions like gini, anter pick up lo school, always there when you are in trouble.” Obviously Lia.

I realize it all. Mark will come when I'm in an emergency. “Gue doesn't know either, but I'm not connected to Mark.”

“Padahan since the first time you moved here I have been remembering not to hold Mark and the gang.” Lia grunted in annoyance. “Now even lo deket same Mark. Yes if something is forbidden it must be an event.”

I smile. “Quiet all safely restrained kok.”

“Controlled what's last you almost died in the hand of red light chilli, what's the name forget me.” Celoteh Lia.

“Gue also forgot what his name was. But it was a long time ago lupain aja.”

Lia sneering. “Enteng very dilupain.”

I smiled at Lia. “Kalo I'm on usik will there lo the hero I.”

Lia laughing. “Superman Lia.”

We both laughed along the corridor. Since I moved to this school, Lia has been my friend. The others just know Lia while I always stick.

“Udah you love?” mark asked Sata who had just arrived in her gym clothes.

Sata nodded. “Order by address.”

“Why don't you love yourself anyway.” Jeno asked while eating peanuts.

“There is Sata the courier.” Reply Mark.

“Syalan lo.” Sata smiled forcedly.

“Ngapain lo here?” ask Jeno. “Not now practice yes class lo?”

Sata pulled her hair back. “Udah finished dong yes times talented students as I have not.”

Jeno grunting. “Talented yes.”

“Agatha?” ask Mark.

Sata was confused. “Why Agatha?”

“She's in practice?” Mark looked seriously at Sata.

Sata nodded. “Cute ta—“

“APA?” peekik Mark's.

Sata and Jeno were stunned, stroking each other's chests. “Why the hell?”

“Where is he now?” ask Mark firmly.

Feeling that there was bad air, Sata pulled Mark to sit back. “Quiet first Agatha gapapa earlier after practice.”

Mark is a little relieved. “Kok can he join practice?”

“Sports teacher was still new, I already said that Agatha could not run but tuh guru ngeyel maksa Agatha let keep practicing.” Obviously Sata, actually he was a little afraid to explain this all but sooner or later Mark would have heard it all.

Jaw Mark hardened. “Where is Agatha?”

“Aman kok same Lia, was also in practice with me.” Sata again.

“Udah don't worry Agatha gapapa.” Jeno said a little. “Newly this time I saw you were worried about this Mark.”

Sata nods in agreement because during the hit Mark, the man was impressed not to care about the nation of women. Only with Agatha did Mark become a different person.
