The Beautiful High School

Part 7 - End of Semester

The odd semester exam is over. Grace got a satisfactory grade. Almost all subjects, both package C and religious courses, get almost perfect grades. That's all, Grace gets on with the fight. First place, that's what Grace deserves. Processes will not betray results.

To celebrate the results of their final Semester exam, the Foundation took them on a 3-day vacation. On the first day, they stayed at the villa. The second day and the third day, they were asked to do a walk from Tawangmangu to Telaga Sarangan.

*First Day

This was their first chance to refresh. And they did not waste the opportunity either. The villa that had been quiet, immediately crowded because of their actions.

The first day they received many spiritual blessings from the spiritual builder. Many things they learn to supply life in order to continue to walk in the way of God and not easily give up in the face of difficulties.

In addition to spiritual flush, they also play games; Smart Careful Book, Puzzle and whispers of words in groups.

Smart meticulous, teaching them how important it is to learn the contents of the Book so that life is not misguided and remind them when in difficulty life.

Puzzles teach them that in this life we need to unite relationships that are divided, both in family and friends. How broken relationships can be reunited in their hands.

The whispers of the word teach that not always what we hear is true. Maybe the person telling you is not a news source who can twist a word, subtract a word, or add a word. Don't believe the gossip.

Why should games be made in groups? That is, to teach them good cooperation. Sometimes they will meet smart people but are reluctant to talk, meet stupid people who talk a lot, meet annoying people, meet people who want to be heard, and talk to people who want to be heard, meet the person who wants the most in front, meet people who are ignorant, meet people who lack knowledge, meet smart people, meet people who are only considerate, meet people who only care, meet people who like to organize, meet people who are adaptable and meet people who have adapted but they can work well together to produce success.

"It's exciting today to learn so much" Grace told Onis.

"Say tomorrow we will walk from Tawangmangu to Sarangan Lake you know." reply Onis.

"Oh yeah? wahhhh that far away. But I think it's fun." replied Grace.

Second day

The next day they gathered in prayer together and there they announced what one day would do.

"Okay, yesterday was great. You guys must have learned a lot. Today we will travel to Sarangan Lake. There will be some posts. And in the post there will be instructions what to do." said Mr. Budi.

Mr. Budi has prepared several posts containing instructions. First, they should pray for their families. Second post, they can eat Snack at the designated stall. Third, they pray for the people of Indonesia. Fourth post, they get lunch. Fifth, they pray for spiritual leaders. Sixth post, Snack again. Post heading, inn.

They have to travel approximately 4 hours to arrive at the inn. During the trip, they really enjoy the view of the mountains that spoil them, joking, telling stories and singing.

"waaawwww.....cold and beautiful." exclaimed Grace. "Come, we're playing guess!" continued.

"What color is the wind?" onis. Grace's face turned confused. "Don't you?" he continued and was greeted by a headband from Grace.

"Red. Look at the results of the scrapings on the body of people who are catching a cold" replied Onis.

"Chraggles." said Grace. "Translate into japanese “no money”?" keep Grace.

"Aisteru." replied Yanto, who had a tense Grace face.

"Wrong! What's Nis?" ask Grace to Onis. But Onis answered him with bells.

"Sakurata takupusing Hahahaha.." replied Grace while ngakak.

"If this. Many are shunned when he is white." asked Yanto.

"White brunette." replied Grace.

"Early Grace... The kitchen you take care of. The answer is people who get panu all over the body." reply Yanto who was replied by laughing their way.

"Switch to the pantun ya." pinta Grace.

"Sit at home while selling." said Yanto

"Ashik.." answered simultaneously.

"The antique motorbike is sold." continued Yanto.

"Yan continued." they replied.

"This is not just a fight." continued Yanto again.

"Lanjuuuutttt.." said them again in unison.

"Your face is beautiful." said Yanto as his hands pointed towards Grace who made Grace's face red like a boiled crab.

"Bikin cake with yeast flour" said Onis

"Continue." answer simultaneously.

"Find cornstarch not found." continued Onis.

"Wear the starch of kanji Nis.." said Grace.

"There's no need for you to hesitate anymore." continued Onis.

"Trusssss... continue further.." Grace ordered.

"I will always be faithful to you."

"Hahaha... cie.. cie.." reply Yanto.

That's the joke of Grace, Onis and Yanto. The three of them walked side by side with a spirit of 45.

It does not feel like you are in the middle of the journey after the third Post, go to Post four. Soon the post will eat.

"My laper's dad.this is the rumbling stomach from earlier demanding rations." said Grace.

"But in time until Post four, we'll eat. Patience.." Onis said.

"Sama Grace's. My stomach has also thrashed for rations. This stomach is not polite. Cannot be compromised. This worm in the stomach is hungry in stage 4" said Yanto.

"Ciaaahhhh you two are indeed a match." replied Onis.

"We fit Grace" said Yanto.

"Yes it's just a meal" said Grace.

5 Minutes later they arrived at the long-awaited post. That is post four where they will get to eat for their worms that have thrashed.

"Finally.." cried Grace.

"Grace... Grace. "answered Onis.

"Hunger!!" just answer Grace.

They also get food.

"Slow Grace. Later you will be sprained." said Yanto.

"Cieee.... Yanto the same attention Grace." said Ita.

"uhuk... uhuk..." Grace is really choking. Onis and Yanto offer Grace a drink. Grace was confused as to which one to take.

"Dibilangin. No one will take your food Grace." Yanto said. Grace simply replied with a smile.

After eating, they take a short break so that the food they just ate reaches the stomach. After 10 minutes, they also walk again to post five.

"Ohhhhh this rain.. Do we continue or stop?" ask Grace. "But more fun, if we continue." he answered his own question.

They also continued their journey. All the clothes are wet. Luckily the change of clothes was transported by car by the chairman of the Foundation.

"Ehhhhh... that's Yanto what? Wehhhhh peed just like that" Onis said. "Lahhhh ... why are you sitting on the asphalt?" ask Grace again.

"The bedwet is Grace." exclaimed Dona.

"Hahahaha.." Grace's laughter caught wetting her pants because it was cold and there was no place to go to pee. "Knowledge me." replied Grace inwardly.

Not long after, Dona did the same thing as Grace.

"Donaaaaaaaa.." cried Grace. "wehhhh, speaking of me." They laughed together for their silliness.

"The water that flows down this street is not just rain water but your urine" Onis chanted with their laughter.

Finally they reached the fifth post and continued the sixth post (last post). The last post they were waiting for. There they will get Snack and warm tea. Although they walk far, but not separated from the observation of their leaders.

"Ahhhhh finally the last post. Serbuuuu." shouted Kobus.

They are happy to enjoy Snack and warm water that warms their bodies due to rain water. The jokes and laughter continued to melt their atmosphere.

When they arrived at the inn, they cleaned their bodies and did evening devotions together after they had dinner. The night began to dissolve and fatigue felt in their bodies. They did not leave because of exhaustion. They prefer to sleep. The blanket was waiting to warm their bodies.

Third day

On the third day after they prayed together and had breakfast, they were allowed to enjoy the view at Sarangan Lake by surrounding the lake. Some take pictures, some are looking for acquaintances, some are snacks and some are just sitting around.

That afternoon they returned to the dormitory in a truck. Tomorrow they are allowed to take a vacation. Grace, Byta and Tatik vacation at their respective homes. For the special of Kalimantan, they are there who visit relatives' houses and most of all, they just stay in the dormitory. While Ita, she goes with Grace on vacation.

"Look Grace. Sorry, the house is still ugly" said Grace who let Ita into the house which is still made of woven bamboo and covered with soil.

"It's okay Grace. Just relax. Thank you for taking me to your house." Ita replied.

"Ita Same-sama. Consider it your own home. If you are hungry, eat by yourself. If there's no food under the crackers, cook." Grace replied. "This is my mother." continued Grace introducing her mother.

"Ita Ma'am." know Ita.

"Grace's Mother. Just call me." Grace's mom replied. "Sorry, Grace's house is still ugly like this." continued Grace's mother.

"Good Mom. Thank ye. It's okay Mom. It's been able to take shelter." Grace replied with a smile.

"Put your bag in Grace's room, yeah" Grace's mom said.

"Good Mom. Thank you." reply Ita.

He put his bag in Grace's room. Not a good room. It was a very simple room. From the inside could see the small cracks, there was a hint of light from the outside entering through those cracks. But even so does not reduce the comfort of Ita because the Grace family is very warm. Not the house visited but his family, that was in Ita's mind.

"Let's eat first Ta." take Grace.

"Come.." reply Ita.

They were at the dinner table

"It's not, eat it." joked Grace. Ita was confused and dumbfounded. He just took the salted fish.

"This is a vegetable not to be taken. It's poisonous. If it's poisonous why put it on the table and seasoned with coconuts?" ita batin.

When Grace's mother saw Ita's plate with only rice and salted fish, her mother was stunned.

"Lho Ta.... You don't like vegetables?" ask Grace's mother.

"Like Ma'am." replied Ita.

"Then why not take some vegetables?" ask Grace's mother.

"So Grace said 'this isn't, eaten huh? So I didn't eat it." replied Ita who was told by laughing by Grace and Grace's mother who immediately made Ita confused why they were laughing.

"Grace .... Grace.you love jahilin people. Ita, don't it's a vegetable. Don't be the danger of Java." said Grace's mother to make Ita embarrassed and Grace laugh.

"Oh, is that Mom? What vegetable is this, ma'am?" ask Ita.

"This is if the Javanese say his name is vegetable anointing. You try it.." ask Grace's mother. Ita tried it too.

"Enak Bu." praise Ita.

"Add. Eat a lot. Your body is thin as a triplex." seduced by Grace's mother.

"Good ma'am. Thank you." reply Ita with a smile.

"When you're hungry, eat it yourself. Not shy. Don't wait for anything else." said Grace's mother.

"Good Mom. Thank you." said Ita

Ita's days are happily spent at Grace's house because her family is so engrossed and joking. Especially Grace's father. It's so good to joke.

For a week Ita was on vacation at Grace's house. They return to the dormitory for a new year together. Actually they are still on vacation, it's just that Grace is more happy if in the dorm can go for a walk and joke with her friends.

"Ta, we're going back to the dorm, okay?" take Grace to Ita.

"Why indeed? is it still a holiday?" ask Ita.

"It's okay. It's more fun to be in a hostel with friends. I'm tired of being home." Grace replied.

"It's up to you" Grace replied giving up while raising her shoulders.

"You know what? Why did I choose to stay in the dorm?" ask Grace who's on Ita's head.

"When you're home, you're not going anywhere even if it's the new year. My family is not like the family of others who are crazy about the new year. Who are crazy about fireworks and crazy for the streets just look at the sky that is showered with fireworks. My family never had a picnic. Let alone for a picnic, to eat less. I had a picnic only when there were activities at school. So I want new year's night there so I can feel what the new year is like?" it was Grace who made Ita ber'oh-oh' ria.

*Happiness is not about having abundant possessions. Having a warm family can make you happy more than anything. Because happiness is expensive, it cannot be bought with treasure."
