THE AFTERNOON WITH YOU

Dancing above the suffering of people.

At 05:00 in the morning.

The rain has completely stopped. On the way to her home, while driving, Gia saw some residents crowding the road near the power pole that collapsed due to being hit last night.

"How about RT? Why did the power pole collapse like this?"

"Looks like it was a lightning strike last night Mom. It rained so much last night. That's why it's possible that this power pole collapsed due to a lightning strike." Allegedly mr RT.

"Then how is this? There will be no electricity!" The people started to panic.

"You guys just calm down, don't worry! I've contacted PLN officers. They'll be here soon to fix it." Said mr. RT.

Gia slowly drives her car and turns her face away so no one can see her. And do not let the residents see him driving, because they know Gia has not been allowed to drive a car by her mother let alone her status is still in school. It is very dangerous if one of the residents saw him driving, he could be suspected behind the collapse of the electricity pole.

"May you not wake up!" Please Gia.

.....

Arriving at home.

Gia runs her car slowly to the garage. After finishing parking her car, Gia went back into the house through the back door and then after arriving in the room, she immediately changed her clothes. After that, he put himself in bed to go back to sleep.

"Later to sleep well." He muttered while closing his eyes.

*****

At 08:00 in the morning.

Switching to Hanna's House.

Hanna had just woken up from her sleep and started checking the CCTVs on her laptop to find out Gia's movements during her exam remedial yesterday.

"Gue's curious! What kind of cheating is Gia doing?" He muttered while checking his laptop.

Once checked, the camera took Gia's movements for more than 20 hours.

"Wow, that's a lot for 20 hours! I think it's right back home from school yesterday, I forgot not to turn off the CCTV automatically." He murmured again while yawning.

Hanna immediately watched the video for 3 hours with eyes that still resist sleepiness, but she tried to glare and stay focused on seeing Gia's movements in working on the exam, after finishing watching half of it, but she tried to glare, absolutely no suspicious moves were caught in the slightest.

"It turns out I was wrong! It turned out that Gia was actually doing the test earnestly without cheating." Mumbled.

"Thank God that I've been wrong all along!"

Then he turned off the CCTV in the brooch giving it automatically through his laptop. Though he did not know the facts for sure before he finished watching it until it ran out.

"Next time I won't be suspicious anymore! From now on I have to trust my own best friend that my best friend has really turned into a smart person!" Hanna asserted herself.

"Well! I'm so jealous of my friend who's smart while I'm still stupid." He muttered again as he closed his laptop.

"Btw, now what is he doing? I have to call him." Hanna starts calling Gia.

"Drrtt's."

..."Drrtt."...

^^^"Drtttt."^^^

"Tumben, Gia didn't pick up my phone. Where the hell is he?" Mumbled Hanna.

Hanna had no idea that Gia was currently fast asleep. Because all night he did not sleep due to launch the action of the cheats up to overnight.

*****

3 Days Later.

In-house.

Gia is getting ready to go to school, because today is the day of remedial value sharing.

"Where are you going to wear your uniform and school suit? You still haven't had a holiday?" Ask her mother in surprise.

"Indeed mah holiday, but Gia just want to take the exam sheet that has been assessed only. Papa would be proud to see Gia's test score later." Hearing his words, his mother was immediately delighted.

"Yes, it's gone! Take the test scores, mama wants to see them in person immediately."

"Yes, ready to go!" Said Gia while she was grinning.

*****

****In School****.

Test remedial scores are shared. And Gia's hope finally came true. He got the highest score above the others. Even this time all his test scores were worth 100 thanks to the answer key he copied back then.

Hanna was further shocked to see all the Gia values were worth 100. He could not even close his gaping mouth because he was so surprised.

"That's right?" Ask Hanna.

"Yes really! Just look at it for yourself!" Gia said proudly.

"Lo is great Gi!" Praise Hanna while crying.

"Gue is great!" Said Gia arrogantly.

While Adi and Egi still got the same value as before.

They stared at each other's test scores blankly and confused themselves.

"Can't be! No more maybe!" Mumbled Egi not believing.

.....

In the teacher's room.

Egi, Adi, and Gia are summoned to the teacher's room. They were faced directly with Mr. Wiranto and their homeroom teacher, Bu Ratna.

"For Gia, I see an increase in you taking the test." Praise Bu Ratna. Gia nodded with a smile.

"And for Adi!"

Adi straightened up and was ready to listen.

"What's Adi? Why is your value declining? How can you take the next Olympics if your test scores are dropping?" Asked Bu Ratna as the homeroom teacher who was very disappointed with his mainstay student.

Adi immediately looked embarrassed.

"Daddy!" Call Mr. Wiranto as a BK teacher.

"When you look at the CCTV, there's not the slightest suspicion that Gia's doing what you're accusing of." Obviously mr. Wiranto.

"And we got a report from Gia, that you've been physically abusive to her." Clearly again.

Adi immediately cringed in shock then looked at Gia.

"What father mean? By violence? That's all a lie sir, I didn't do anything violent to Gia!" Denying Adi.

"Don't lie to me! The teachers here have seen CCTV when Lo clutched my arm hard at that time in the hallway. The bruised scars on Lo's wrists are still on my wrists." Peek Gia while showing bruises that are still reddened. Adi instantly remained silent while shifting his gaze.

"You read the rules in this school yourself? That cheating in cheating, bullying, or committing violence will be punished! In exchange, I will give you punishment for accusing you without proof and for committing violence against Gia." Said mr. Wiranto.

"Yesse." Exclaimed Gia inwardly while smiling grinningly.

"Come Adi! Come on out! I will give you a briefing!" Said Wiranto as he walked out.

Adi immediately walked out following Wiranto but before exiting, he passed Gia. And Gia was still whispering.

"Lo Campus."

Adi ignored Gia's cruel whisper while continuing to walk down.

"Gia!" Call Ms. Ratna.

"Yes Ma'am?" Reply Gia.

"Now you can go home and enjoy your vacation! Studying hard!" Say Bu Ratna while giving all the answer sheets Gia has given value.

"Good Mom! Thank you very much." Gia said and rushed out.

But before coming out, he glanced at Egi first who was still lowered.

Gia was immediately upset because he ignored Egi. Then Gia immediately rushed out of the room.

"Great shame! I don't say good words to you! You can get a bad value." Gia murmured while grunting in annoyance.

.....

In the schoolyard.

Gia walked through the yard, but he accidentally saw Adi who was being given direction by Mr. Wiranto.

"Adi, as a punishment set forth in the rules of this school. You have to clean the yard with all the toilets at this school. And after you've cleared everything, you'll have to go back to the teacher's room to receive the suspension letter."

Adi was immediately shocked to hear the statement of Mr. Wiranto.

"Let's clean up everything. I'll keep an eye on you. So don't be so lecherous." He said again after leaving Adi.

After Wiranto passed, Gia immediately approached Adi.

"Hello Adi, how are you? Just got a punishment?? Poor thing!" He said in a soft tone.

"It's all because of Lo!!!" Pekik Adi blames Gia.

"Why because of me? Where's my mistake, where's kampreettt???" Said Gia while puffing out the chest.

Adi was instantly silent while turning his face away. Then Gia patted his shoulder.

"Adi! See the value of Guee. Bagusan?" Gia said with a tone in singing while pointing at some of her exam sheets that are worth 100.

But Adi still turned his gaze in the other direction.

"Clean up the right!! Lo this is a diligent child. Rarely lohh... There's a son in the DPR working to be OB." He said again mocking while laughing and then left.

Adi stared intently at the departure of Gia who had walked far away.

"Review Lo yaa!! I'll keep an eye on Lo! To where you'll get away with it again." Mumbles Adi.

Then he began to sweep away the leaves scattered in the courtyard.

.....

Back to the Teacher's room.

"Egi! Just the first time we saw your performance in the exam." Said Mrs Ratna. Egi kept his head down.

"Before this school had very big expectations so that you can raise this school degree to be higher among other famous schools, if you manage to win the Olympics again." Say again Ms. Ratna.

"But at once our hope was instantly dashed. It looks like this is going to be a bad thing for this school by putting you in the Olympics on behalf of this school." Said Ms. Ratna again in disappointment. Egi immediately stared in shock.

"You don't know the requirements to be a student at this school? Well I'll explain everything about this school." Ms. Ratna started telling me. I started to listen to everything.

"Actually this school only accepts the smartest students from the upper class. This school does not accept stupid students let alone students from the middle class." Evidently. Egi looked down.

"A foolish student may go to school here, provided he wants to pay more for the entire cost. For example, like some stupid students in this school, you must have known anyone, even though only a few days of school here. But if stupid students from the middle class don't seem to be able to pay the entire cost of attending school here." Obviously again Ms. Ratna.

"Originally you know Egi, one of the proud students of this school who is the most perfect with his intelligence and the best in every subject, Adi. That's why we participated in the Olympics against your school. But somehow lately the increase in Adi so decreased? Though we have seen a lot of how clever Adi in doing every problem. While you? We just got to know you and just watched you do the exam. And it turns out that what this school saw about you at the Olympics back then was all zonk." Said Ms. Ratna in a condescending tone. Egi kept his head down without looking back at Bu Ratna.

"Egi! Look at the achievements you just made at this school. Looks like this school won't be able to include you in the Olympics. And we've made a decision for you. But is it up to you to choose which one between going back to your old school or settling down in this school? But if you want to stay in this school, you have to pay all the administrative costs, because this school has provided special scholarships for yourself so you can follow the Olympics on behalf of this school. Unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in the Olympics. But if for example you choose to move to your former school. Our hands are wide open to let you go back to your old school."

He was silent for a moment trying to make a decision.

"Please! You can think hard on the outside." Miss Ratna let him go. But without any lingering Egi began to answer.

"Good Mom, I chose to go back to my old school!" Say it with a loud tone.

*****

Back at school, Gia immediately showed her latest value to her mother.

"Well, look at Gia's test scores!"

"His test scores all shared?" Ask his mother while receiving some test scores belonging to his daughter.

"Here you go, mama look!"

His mother started checking one by one.

"I-this really?" Ask the surprised mother.

"It's really mah." He tried to convince his mother.

"Kok is 100 all? Yesterday mama saw your value in the photo there's nothing worth 100." Ask her mother in wonder.

"Mommy saw it wrong!" Deny Gia.

"Where are you happy not this beautiful mama's child gets good grades?" Continue to divert the conversation by asking questions while grinning.

"My mom is so happy!!!!" His mother immediately kissed Gia's entire face.

"Muaahhh! Mmua-hh! Mmmm." (Sniffing sound )

"I don't think you've turned smart!" His mother was proud. Gia can only cry.

"Mom guessed, you wouldn't change, but now you've turned smart. Mama's so proud of you." His mother was so proud of her only daughter.

"Let's have another party. Mama will show all your good grades to all of your friends including mama's friends who have mocked you at that time." Her mother was enthusiastic.

"Okay mah!"

"From now on, whatever your request. Mama will grant everything especially for this lovely mother's daughter." Said his mother excited while pinching her chin.

"Truly mah?"

"Yes baby! Whatever it is! Hurry up and say whatever you want!!"

"Gia wants to have a party for a week, can't she?"

"What's a week-long party?" His mother squeaked in wonder. Gia can only cry.

"Oh, of course, it's okay, baby!! Want to have a party for 2 weeks just gapapa kok dear. Anything for my mom's favorite kid. Your wishes, your mother's wishes too."

Gia and her mother were instantly overjoyed while laughing happily.

*****

Next day.

As promised at that time, Gia planned to enjoy her vacation by having a party.

At that time Gia had promised all her friends would hold a party for 7 days and 7 nights. But for Gia one Sunday won't be enough to enjoy the party.

So he's going to have a party for 2 weeks until he gets back to school.

She and her mother had a party at a five-star hotel inviting all of her mother's friends along with all of her classmates.

"Huaaahhhh."

Gia cheered cheerfully while dancing on the dining table while greeting all her friends who were dancing under her.

All his friends cheered cheerfully while dancing and drinking juice.

The party is held from day to night. And the party was held again the next day until the next day and so on. The party continues to start on the same schedule for 2 weeks. And the people present were still the same people who always wanted to hitch a meal on behalf of the invited guests.

However, there were two students who did not come to the party, namely Adi and Egi.

Adi himself is still serving his sentence at school, I don't know how long? Only the BK teacher will determine to what extent Adi's punishment will be completed.

While Egi the victim of cheating Gia can only silently daydream on the balcony of her house while looking at the scenery with sad eyes.

Previously Gia had invited him through a letter sent by post because he did not have Egi's phone number. But Egi decides not to come and prefers to get his clothes cleaned because he will soon be ready to move back to his old school.

Gia doesn't know that Egi is going back to his old school. Because he continued to enjoy the party celebrating his success in the test he did with full of fraud.
