The Foreign Taste

Raport Division

Two days later..

"You guys studied hard for a semester yesterday. And you are very proud of the results you have achieved this semester," said Mr. Amin, X.1 homeroom teacher, Ranum's class.

"Although there are some unsatisfactory values in some children, but I'm sure, you've all tried your best. For that, let's applaud all of us!" Mr. Amin shouted while commanding the students of class X.1 to applaud.

Prok.prok.prok.prok.prok!

Then Mr. Amin gave a sign with his hand to stop the applause. Slowly, the classroom went back to silence.

"Father just wanted to leave this message to all of you, kids. As good as any value you get in the academic field, remain humble. Don't cocky. Remember the old saying. That in the sky there really is still the sky again," said Mr. Amin gave his advice.

"And for those of you who get low grades, do not give up. Keep trying as best you can. Even if the results are still not as good as you expect, do not be afraid,"

"As long as you still have goals, goals in life. So keep trying to reach him. Because the success of a person's life is not only based on his academic values alone,"

"There are still many other lessons out there that you can take part in. Remember another saying too. There are many roads to Rome. Does anyone know what he means?" Ask Mr. Amin to his students.

"Can you get on a plane or a ship sir means it!" A student with a joke.

Instantly, the classroom atmosphere was also broken by the laughter of all its residents.

Mr. Amin also seemed to smile in response to the joke of the student. He even accepted the student's answer.

"There's a truth to Bobi's remark. We can go to Rome by plane or boat, or even by bike! But I don't know for sure, what your legs will be as big as if you insist on going there by bicycle. It could be as big as an elephant's leg!"

"Amahaahaha!!" The laughter was again broken by a joke from Mr. Amin.

"The purpose of the old saying is that there are many ways to achieve goals or dreams and ideals. If we have not succeeded in one area by using one way, then do not grieve for too long. Try again. Try again in a different way. With a different effort," continued Mr. Amin advising.

"But keep one message from Father yes, children. Be with God in every effort we make. So that every effort we do is worth like a worship. So even if we fail in that endeavor, we can still get the reward."

"What does it mean to be with God, sir?" Ask a student.

"The easy example is always to read the bismillah at every beginning of the activities to be done. Learn to read bismillah. Play bismillah. I also read bismillah."

"Read bismillah fit to sleep also get a reward, sir?" Ask someone else.

"Yes. Sure do. But this is specifically for those of you who adhere to the religion of Islam. For the followers of other religions, yes different again his reading. Understand everything?"

"THAT'S WHY!!"

"good. Well then, now you will announce first our class champion yes. You will only mention the top 5 champions. For champions 6 and below, you can ask your friends each. Ok!"

"OK Sirk!!"

"alright. Bismillaahirrahmaanir rahiim, for the champion of our third class, achieved by..Laluna Mustika Ayu's. Give Laluna a round of applause!"

Proks. Proks. Proks. Proks. Prok!

Laluna who was named immediately stood up and approached the table Mr. Amin. He then received a report book and also a gift pack.

"This gift may be useful, Luna. Jagan saw from his large small value of this gift. The main thing is the meaning behind this gift. That you have achieved a good achievement this semester. Congratulations, my son!" Said Mr. Amin.

"Thank you, sir!" Laluna said with a blue face.

Then Laluna crucified Mr. Amin's hand. And finally back to his seat back.

"Next, for our second champion, achieved by..Adnan Nasution!"

Back, a standing ovation resonated in that classroom.

Adnan immediately stood up to approach Mr. Amin. Just like Laluna, he received a gift, then greeted Mr. Amin and returned to his bench again.

Ranum's heart was racing. In his heart he hopes to be champion again. However, he wants to present his best achievements to Father and Mother. Because for now, it is only the way that can be done to make Father Mother happy.

"Ranum Binna Adnan!" Said Mr. Amin blaringly, accompanied also by a standing ovation by classmate Ranum.

Ranum's heart was troubled by pride and happiness.

'Alhamdulillah.thank God.this is for Father and Mother.' said Ranum in his heart.

With a little shame, Ranum approached Mr. Amin. His hands felt trembling as he received his report book.

Ranum wants to immediately see all the value of his lessons during this semester at that time. But of course Ranum had to hold back.

Embarrassedly, he also received a gift from Mr. Amin. An eye-sensing that he guessed the contents of the book, when viewed from its boxy and thin shape.

But Ranum did not look down on the gift. After all, it is true said Mr. Amin earlier. This gift cannot be judged only by its price. Because there is a meaning that is far more valuable than just the price. And it was a feat that he had managed to achieve with great difficulty and could now be celebrated with great joy.

'Alhamdulillah!' back, Ranum expressed his gratitude in his heart.

The girl did not realize that from the moment she stepped in front of the class until now she always put on her most beautiful smile.

A smile born from his heart full of happiness. So that some of the boys in his class had been lulled by the smile of the beautiful girl.

Ranum did not know, if secretly with his smile, he had tied some of the hearts of boys in a strange taste trap. And the foreign taste is themed kasmaran.

❤️❤️❤️

"Waahh, congratulations, Num! I also thought that you would be the champion!" Praise Mira to Ranum, after the distribution of the report is complete.

Now Ranum cs is covering first to the cafeteria before returning to their respective homes.

"Alhamdulillah.." said Ranum briefly, still with the same smile as he received his report.

During a moment of silence. Until making Ranum so confused himself so his.

The atmosphere was only broken when Tanti restarted the conversation.

"Ehem! I am also lucky to be able to enter the top eleven. Usually I can rank 17 or 18 at least SMP first," said Tanti with a smile that is no less sparkling as well.

"But! Ranking 11 is proud. Gua dong, rank 10! Clearly still better than Elu!" Reply Agus across the table.

"God! Congors! Just keep talking here! Who else is ranked Lo, try it!" Reply Tanti.

"Sia Lan Lu, Tan! What a big nyebelin Lu! Keep napa tuh lip. Don't be so-so"

"Gus, that's it! Don't keep making a fuss!" Adnan's side next to Agus.

"Esince her anyway, boss, got a mouth.hmpph!"

Agus could not continue his speech anymore because Adnan put a piece of fried banana into his mouth.

"Udah! We are in a happy mood again. Don't ruin the storm!" Adnan is back.

"Mmc ..." Agus muttered while raising his shoulders.

And, the atmosphere of the canteen was again filled with joy to welcome the holiday period that will begin tomorrow. Over the next week, students of High School 3 City Y will pass the holidays.
