The Perfect Art

Episode 19 National Exams

Joko becomes a different figure now, he can already share the schedule of learning ndhalang and studying maple. Many times Joko participated in the competition, from OSN, LCC, Achieving Students, to FLS2N, must have got one place in the top three, in every exam he was always the class champion, he was the class champion, no wonder Grandpa loved her so much. In this sixth grade, Joko felt something different, she fell in love?? Seems like. Kan Joko is also pubescent now and is 2 years older than her classmates. So no wonder if he felt different things, his way of thinking was more mature than his classmates, he also became very cool and captivated almost all students in his school, except Nabila.

"Ko, you are now changing yha, it used to be the first time you entered you look so cute, but now even become a school star" said John, my colleague Joko.

"You're there anyway, I'm used to yhaaa.." Joko said.

"Who does not know Den Joko, the greatest boy in the Eks Karisidenan Surakarta. All the girls are clingy when they see your smile and the sound of your bass." praise John again.

"Johnny Sutaryo, diem ta plis, I want to learn okay." said Joko.

"Eh, betewe Nabila piye Nabila??" ask John.

Joko stops her learning activities and starts thinking of Nabila, a girl who never likes Joko. Repeatedly Joko tried to approach him, but always failed. His attitude is sweet and caring, but unfortunately everyone. Joko could never get the Nabila, uh now even the Nabila again deket same next-class child, his name is Robi. Duh, kasian yha Joko.

Joko let out a rough breath. "Yha wants to go again.. Dee deket same Robi you know. Yes, I'm still chasing him." he replied.

"The class has no morals. A Joko tuh less what try?? A handsome? For sure. A pinter? Don't ask again. Talented and have their own income. Well, the Nabila that want to be unwell" said John annoyed himself.

Joko chuckles to herself. "Grandfather is not going where yha.. Santuy aja anyway." she replied.

"Jaudah. Learn we yaa, another week UN and another month graduated!!" exclaiming John.

They, Joko and John, learn together. It was a break, but the two friends didn't seem so hungry, so they decided to stay in class and chose to study.

A week later, the UN took place. Joko is very excited, why not lha wong yesterday he got a piece of paper with a sentence of encouragement from his bluff, it is definitely the spirit of dong. But the other case with Robi, the boyfriend of his crush Joko, he looks lethargic because he did not get a love letter from the girl he loves. Joko thinks, there must be someone who is idle to give the letter to him, but actually for Robi, but let it be important that the letter is written Nabila wkwk.

***

Day after day has passed and the UN has ended. Sixth graders are relieved now. Joko was very happy because for three days he continuously got love letters from Nabila and continuously got half-mockery praise sentences from John.

"Ciee who keeps getting love letters. Uuu so like to smile at himself the cake of the niyee madman." said John.

"Well, John, you don't know." said Joko.

"Uluh-ten, hahahaha." said John and laughed out loud.

"Hoo it is."

"Lha kept Robi's fate?? Didn't dee pacare Nabila??"

"As a good courier I will deliver a letter to the right master. Even though hehe's wrong address."

"It was discovered that the kitchen was the reason for it." said Joko

"I'll do what you want, I'll give you Nabila" John said, singing.

"Act. Your voice now wis is not false, hehehe." said Joko.

"Who's good???" (muji what's mocking?) ask John.

"Think of dewe!!" (think to yourself!!) joko replied as she passed.

"Don't, is he left?? Where are you going woy!!"

"Where else are you going" replied Joko.

"Nebeng yak??" pinta John's.

"Wani pira??" challenge Joko.

"One hundred thousand!! Come on, hunt!!" john is starving now.

A month later the graduation announcement. Joko ranked best in the district level, followed by John then Putri, Robi's classmate. Grandpa is very proud of Joko, this is because Joko becomes a more mature and smarter figure than before. Grandpa became very confident that Joko was able to continue his goal of being a great and useful dhalang for the community.

When asked where he wanted to continue his studies, Joko replied that he wanted to go back to Ngargoyoso, and chose to go to school in Junior High School 1 Ngargoyoso. It is easy for Joko to get in there because of his perfect value and become the talk of his upperclassman because of his handsome face and cleverness.
