The charm of Vegetable Kang

Recommendations

The time given by the school is thirty minutes to rest. After which, the selection participants were reassembled in the hall to listen to the announcement.

Based on the scores from written tests, health tests and physical endurance tests, four names were obtained. Anxiously Anyala listened to who about the chosen name. He wished his name was mentioned by Bu Warni.

"In spite of this, we will only send two representatives to participate in the selection of Paskibraka at the City level. The so-called name may stay, the other, may return to their respective classes. First, Atharazka."

The disciples applauded when Azka's name was mentioned. Queena is no exception who feels happy and proud to be called the most special person. Azka stood up, then saluted and thanked him.

"Both, Kevin Chandra Wasesa."

"Yuwww!"

Many students did not accept Kevin's election. But the guy remained confident, even while standing he spread the kiss bye to all directions.

"All sons, besides Atharazka and Kevin, were allowed to leave. Next, the candidate daughter ... Queena Tunggadevi."

Queena jumped up so happy. He was elected, which means Queena has defeated many other candidates. Evidently, without the support of anyone he can prove himself.

Moreover, Queena is happy that she has the opportunity to become Paskibraka with her heart. Queena could not stop smiling. Meanwhile, Anyala began to feel disappointed.

Why does it have to be Queena? Why was the girl chosen? In fact, Anyala was very hopeful that Queena would be eliminated at the beginning of the test. However, what happened was completely beyond any expectations of Anyala.

Anyala looked at Queena who was smiling proudly. In Anyala's eyes, the girl looked arrogant and obnoxious.

"Last .. the selected candidate is ...."

Everyone takes it seriously. About who will be named by Bu Warni. Contrary to Anyala who wants her name called, Queena actually hopes that it is not Anyala who is chosen. It would be nice if Anyala came out of the selection.

Proving that Queena is better than Anyala. Queena looked at Anyala, who was also staring at her.

"The Life."

With the mention of anyala's name, the cold war that lasted soon ended. Anyala got up, feeling very relieved. In this way, he thought, there was no need to accept punishment from Mama.

Now, there were only four people who had to continue the selection. The teachers started highlighting the 10-F class. Both students were from the same class.

***

In front of Ms. Warni and Mr. Igo who prefer to stand, sit next to each other, Anyala, Queena, Azka and Kevin in order. Even in the crucial moments, Queena felt a strange tremor as she was right beside Azka.

"What's the test now, ma'am?" ask the impatient Kevin.

"There's no more tests, Kevin. Now, what will determine the school representative in the selection of the City-level Paskibraka is your own."

The four students looked at each other. Full of wonder mixed with confusion.

"Please recommend a candidate you think is appropriate to represent our school. Can recommend others or yourself."

Anyala was silent for a moment. What exactly does Miss Warni want. If the results of the selection are already there, teachers can actually choose the candidate with the best score.

Anyala kept thinking. Will he file, which means he can't let the school down? Or recommend Queena? The one who should not pass the selection according to Anyala?

After all, for Anyala, Queena was no smarter than herself. If Anyala wasn't sure she'd get away with it, let alone Queena?

The girl thought back. Recommend yourself, can be interpreted as selfish and over confidence. It could actually cause Miss Warni not to choose it. While recommending others, can be judged by the teacher as humility.

Anyala worried. He doesn't want to take a wrong step. However, he also did not recommend Queena. In silence, Anyala bit her inner lip. Try to find answers as quickly as possible.

Anyala remembers Sister Nita. What would Nita do if she was in her position? Sister Nita, is a person who always attach importance to others. She would definitely recommend Queena.

Anyala then remembered Mama and their conversation this morning. Mama doesn't want Anyala to fail. Anyala herself did not want to fail either. Although contrary to Anyala's assessment of Kak Nita, in the end she chose to recommend herself.

"Alright, now is the time to choose," said Bu Warni made the atmosphere more frozen.

"I, Mum."

"Please."

"I'm going to apply to be a school representative. However, I was one of the people who passed the selection. I'm sure I can represent school to the next level."

"For the deputy son?"

"That's ...."

Anyala did not expect that she also had to recommend the male school representative. He hadn't thought about that from earlier.

"I recommend ... Kevin's."

"Yes! Thanks, Anyala."

Kevin was happy to hear his name being mentioned by Anyala. He showed the girl a thumb.

"Please, Queena."

"I'm .. I would also recommend myself, Mom. Although I am a new kid at this school, but, aren't all 10th graders actually new students? Anyala included. So, it wouldn't hurt if I had the honor to represent the school."

"Well, I'll accommodate your proposal."

"Atharazka's? Please."

"I'd suggest you pick Kevin, Mom. No doubt about it."

"Reason, Azka?"

"Because he doesn't need to doubt."

"What about you, Kevin?"

"I? So, you agree with Anyala or Queena?"

"Mom's decision depends on your answer."

"Mom, I'm sorry" interrupted Anyala, "Although we're asked to recommend, I definitely have my own judgment. What about the score we made? There must be a difference even if small. So, if my score was bigger than Queena, I really hope to get elected."

Miss Warni shut up and waited. And Kevin too.

"You're right, Anyala," Ms. Warni replied in the end.

"Then, ma'am, I would recommend Anyala and my stupid friend Atharazka."

"Kevin? You certain? You score better than Atharazka."

"To be honest, I really wanted to represent the school. But, Mom, you know I'm afraid of the sun. I also have a strict modeling schedule. So, it is better for this fool to represent the school. After all, he was used to the heat on the roof. Azka must be strong, ma'am."

Kevin replied, really burning Queena's heart. How could anyone support him? Including the Teacher. A pill that was large and extremely bitter, had been forced into Queena's throat.

"Atharazka's? Anyala? You ready?" tanya Bu Warni.

"Ready, Mom!"

Both answered in unison. At the same time, in addition to the bitter pill, the bomb also exploded fiercely within Queena's chest. Then, whatever was left began to burn, one by one. Everything was almost scorched and destroyed.

"So, we agreed, yes. Thank you, Queena and Kevin, however, you are still valuable assets of this school. You are the proud students of the school. After this, let us jointly support Atharazka and Anyala. Thank you." Thank you."
