The Foreign Taste

Meet Brother Titan

Completed sport hours, is the Geography subject hours. The lesson that made the freshness after gymnastics was gone in a moment.

This happened because the delivery of Mr. Gimin who passed made the eyes of the students become sleepy. With a slow voice, and a fairly stagnant and flat expression, Pak Gimin managed to make his entire class Ranum turn like a vegetable chicken. Sleek, limp and sleepy.

Thank goodness Mr. Gimin is a teacher who has high patience. Because even though he found his students sleeping, he was not immediately angry.

He just cleared a little bit tight. Then call the name of the student who fell asleep until he woke up. After a while, the student will likely fall back to sleep.

Ranum was really sympathetic to this teacher.

'Very sorry Mr. Gimin. Because you have to often reprimand friends who are not polite and deliberately fall asleep during class hours. Hoaaahhmmm.' thought Ranum.

The girl also closed her mouth which also did not stop yawning earlier.

Heran, as soon as the break bell rang, the heads of the students who had just drooped sleepily on the table, suddenly just straight up. One or two people even got up and left the class, without waiting for Mr. Gimin to come out first.

Ranum thought again. Being a teacher is not an easy profession to do. He thought about becoming a teacher when he grew up.

What if he had to face these students, or even more mischievous? duuhs. Ranum was immediately horrified just by imagining it.

When the break bell rang, Ranum and Mira chose not to go to the cafeteria again. Because both of them are still full after the snack after the sports lesson earlier. Meanwhile, Tika and Tanti go back to the cafeteria to buy small snacks.

At this time Mira moved to sit down to her bench Tika. He was chatting with Ranum about Pak Gimin's lesson.

"Great Pity on Mr. Gimin, Num. Very often the lesson is underestimated by some of our friends," said Mira in a soft voice.

"Yes, Mir. I don't know what it's like to be him, yeah. If Ranum anyway, it must have been given up just to be a teacher, such as being underestimated by his student son Ranum," said Ranum with a voice no less slow.

"But there is a reason, too, why do friends behave so. Mr. Gimin also can not be assertive anyway, ngadepin children who do not respect him. So they are spoiled and arbitrary," said Mira again.

"Hm. yes. It could be too. Maybe if the way of teaching more exciting like Miss Rosi, the children will not sleep this time yes, Mir?"

"Gee. That's right, Num. Mira was most pleased with every Biology lesson. Yes, that's what it is. There's a game every Biology lesson starts. The game of guessing the card yesterday is also quite exciting. I can't wait to learn again next week!"

Ranum smiled and agreed with Mira's statement.

"Yes, Mir. Oh yeah, you're done with Miss Rosi yet?" Tanya Ranum suddenly.

"duh. Aye yes. So inget. I haven't done his job yet, Num. Want to go to the perpus together to borrow the book? I don't have a package book on it."

"Same. Ranum doesn't have either. What if we go to the perpus now? Afraid of running out of her books due to being borrowed from each other," Ranum gave advice.

"Yes, yeah. Yuk, now Num to the perpus! There are still ten minutes of rest. Go, Num!"

Eventually the two men woke up to the school library. Finished getting the required Biology package book, Ranum and Mira went straight to the table of Mr. Doyo, the perpus guard whose age was still fairly young.

Then Mr. Doyo registered the loan book of the two students. Just gave it back to Ranum and Mira.

At the entrance of the library it turns out Ranum accidentally collided with someone who was also about to enter the pylus.

The man carried a stack of file binders high enough that he did not see Ranum in a hurry to step.

Luckily, Ranum did not fall because he was detained by Mira.

Even so, the unlucky fate must be experienced by the person who was hit by Ranum. Because almost all the file binders he brought had to fall scattered on the floor.

"Duh! Sorry, Sir!" ranum said apologizing.

Compactly, Ranum and Mira then rushed to help pick up the file binders scattered on the floor. After that they gave it to the figure of the man who was hit by Ranum earlier.

At first Ranum did not see the man's face when he handed the file binder to him. But when Ranum realized that his hand was not immediately welcomed, finally his gaze was lifted up.

And finally Ranum saw the sweet face of a young man who, vaguely known her.

"Mh.. Sis.." Ranum tried to remember the name of the man in front of him.

"Titanium. How are you, Ranum? Long time no see," continued Titan later.

"Ah. Aye! Sorry Brother Titan. Ranum often forgets about saying names" said Ranum while hurrying to lower his gaze.

The girl felt quite embarrassed because she was caught clearly not remembering the name of the man who had been her neighbor in the city of X.

"It's okay. So, how are you, Num?" Ask Titan again.

"Good, Brother. Thank goodness.."

"Num, ayo buruan ke kelas. Takut keburu ada Pak Satya masuk nanti. Bisa-bisa kalau kita telat masuk, nanti dikasih tambahan PR lagi!" Ajak Mira setengah panik di samping Ranum.

"Yes, Mir. Sorry, Brother. Ranum goes to class first. Assalamu'alaikum!" pamit Ranum in a hurry.

Ranum and Mira half ran towards their classroom again. Wishing they could arrive before Mr. Satya, the famous Math teacher killer among every student in this High School.

Meanwhile, Titan, who had not expected her direct encounter with Ranum, was still stunned in front of the library room. His gaze still followed the figure of Ranum who ran away from him.

Only after the figure of Ranum disappeared did Titan wake up and answer his greetings Ranum.

"Wa'alaikum salam warohmatullah.."

And Titan continued his steps back into the perpus to deliver a copy of the photo that had been ordered by Pak Doyo, the keeper of the perpus at this High School. While his mind was still covered with memories of the momentary incident earlier.
