The Garden of Heaven
The Part 18
Billy plucked the bakpia from the packaging box in front of him and put it in his mouth and chewed it vigorously.
"So?" ask Einsteina who is still engrossed in her meat bowl.
"So really just a coach?" Einstein asked back.
That afternoon they met at the school cafeteria. Billy who had been waiting for the return of Einstein a week without wasting time immediately approached his friend who was busy chewing the meatballs Bang Mamat, their subscription at school and expressed his intentions without further ado.
Bang Damar and Grandpa Sutisna, Einsteina's silat teacher, Billy's neighbors, will set up a reading house for street children. But the reading house is not just a place for children to learn to read, but also a school for them. They will learn to read, write, count, practice martial arts, painting, and many other activities.
Currently they need a lot of volunteer mentors who are willing to help. Billy, who was trusted by Grandpa Sutisna to find volunteer energy, remembered his best friend who was good at fighting, the Taekwondo black tyre holder as the defending national champion who will soon advance to the Southeast Asian level represents Indonesia at the upcoming SEA Games and was also chosen to be the only student of Grandpa Sutisna, who was also selected to be the only student of the Southeast Asian nation, the greatest fighter in DKI Jakarta, which is extraordinary because Grandpa Sutisna does not carelessly raise someone to be his student.
Not to mention the Japanese martial arts are not too well known by Billy, but, but the rumor is that Einsteina also studied with Yoko sensei to master Judo martial arts and is adept at playing weapons and slamming the man to Billy's ears. For this reason he asked his friend to be one of the mentors who will train the children voluntarily.
"Of course, I hope you will and I'm sure you will too. If the matter of teaching reading and counting I can ask Vivian for help, the boy will be sinter. Eh by the way where are the children, why not just tumben together lo?"
"In Jogja." Einstein replied briefly.
"Can't you, can't you come back?"
"Pregnant over there. Let's just be, what's important is that she's happy."
"Wait, wait. I don't know what that means." Billy picked up Einsteina's iced tea glass and gulped it down without regard for the protesting gazes he had.
"When I found a real way, at home in the pesantren do not want to go back." He revealed after successfully recapturing his half-living iced tea glass and sipped it out of fear of being stolen again by Billy. But Einsteina frowned in astonishment as her best friend voluntarily handed over the iced tea glass without a fight as usual.
The cafeteria that was once crowded was suddenly silent. Einstein looked at the dumbfounded Billy with unblinking eyes at something at the entrance of the canteen, then Einsteina's dark black net turned toward the source of Billy's attention. Her eyes looked at Lolita with her two paddles walking towards them. The pair of eyes followed his every step almost without a blink including Billy.
The male students looked at him in awe and amazement, seeing the prettiest and most popular girl in their school walking into the cafeteria. Things that almost never happen, because usually Lolita needs are always served by both of her maids, including in the case of waiting in line for food in the cafeteria.
While the girls looked at her with envy, why were they born not as perfect as Lolita.
"Elo is doing here. Hus,hus." It was not a question, but Einsteina blatantly expelled Lolita.
All eyes looked at him in disbelief, Billy was also flabbergasted. A Lolita Prajabuana was driven out by Einsteina, a barbarian girl whose level was as far as heaven and earth from Lolita. Yet again all were surprised by the reaction of the Star. Lolita pinned Einstein's head so hard that the owner complained of pain.
"Basic Grandma Attached to Grandma Gambreng. Napa just run away, I haven't talked to you yet elo, dodol!" meaning while returning to the head of Einstein. This time missed Einsteina to flee. But his pesky ears, Lolita tackled him hard instead.
"Ommongan is not important. Go sono, ah!" throw him out again while holding his ear that feels hot.
"Heh, you little boy! I want to collect souvenirs. Oh, my gosh, you ate bakpia without sharing it with me. Lo kejem, kejem. Though I brought perfume Channel ori directly buy in Amrik. And this.." point it at the open box of bakpia showing its contents that are only sliced by three seeds. "Lo'd rather share this ugly human being than me, your bedmate since childhood..."
"Whisper you! Take it with doyan." Cut Einstein while thrusting the bakpia cardboard that only three seeds remain. Beyond a doubt, Lolita received it with a sumpringah. Then he turned around followed by his two faithful ladies following him continuously.
"Gue won't say thanks, because these are just three seeds. Ntar came home skul I want to stop by, love me two more boxes I just said thanks." He said he turned back to look at Einsteina who had returned to his meatball bowl before then breezed haughtily out of the canteen, leaving a curious look from dozens of pairs of eyes.
"Whisper!" his gerutu on the sidelines of his meatball cud. Billy who had been agape while holding his breath hurriedly exhaled after feeling his lungs like they were about to explode lacking oxygen.
"Na, that's serious Lolita. Gu's eyes are not myopic. Yeah, geez why can look so familiar with elo, anyway. Crazy deketin me same her dong, please."
"Diem can, or want me to flush with this kuah!" Angry threat.
"Oh, don't be stingy, be very calm. You know I have a big crush on Lolita, ah not only I am all the guys in school also have a crush on her. Uh, but I'm really curious. You can do it with him anyway, Na. Where he said bedmate...."
"Lo was noisily beating Lolita, deh Bul. Nih pegel keel kerenannya." Cut rubber. Indeed no one knows his friendship with Lolita other than Vivian. Although they are one school but the two rarely meet, in addition to the different classes where they hang out are also different. Plus, Einstein did not want people to use him to approach Lolita if they knew the two were friends, it was already a mutual agreement to walk alone while at school.
Now everyone is curious when Einsteina who is messy and far from the popular word looks familiar with the Star. All this time the only friends who were with Einstein were Billy and Vivian.
Yet everyone in the cafeteria who saw their interaction could surmise how familiar the two were. Billy secretly felt he did not know his best friend. Lolita is not a person who likes to be friends with just anyone, she is only friends with people she considers to be her classmate. Despite being friends, Lolita never once seemed to get along with them, while her interactions with Einsteina looked very familiar like they had known each other for years.
If Billy sees them as more than just friends. Somehow for the first time Billy doubted everything about Einsteina all along. Could it be that everything that was seen from Einsteina was not what she had thought all along. Billy's mind kept on flashing.
