At 07:00 AM Joko is ready. Today he did not go to school, but attended the birthday ceremony of his favorite district. Yha, Joko became one of the guests of honor in the ceremony with Ki Manteb. Why would Joko be the guest of honor?? The answer is because of his achievements as a talented young dhalang who has been recognized as the island of Java. A good achievement indeed, although still within the scope of one island only. Not only young and talented, but also handsome and humble, smiley but kind of cute same chick. That day Joko wore traditional middle Javanese clothing that is beskap, jarik, blangkon and keris. Believe it or not, Joko's good looks increase 3-fold when dressed like that (according to author ehehe). Dashing, dignified, sarwa pantes sasolahe (as fast as it is), miyayeni (as a noble), tan nguciwani (not to disappoint). Joko and Ki Manteb leave at 07:10 WIB, although the show starts at 08:00 WIB. Yhaa as usual Ki Manteb is never late, according to his principle 'better to come 1 hour earlier, than 5 minutes late'.


Exactly at 08:00 WIB the memorial service began. The ceremony was held like a flag ceremony during the independence day of the Republic of Indonesia, but with Javanese. Starting from the host to the aba-aba also uses Javanese, but for the national anthem, the reading of Pancasila and the reading of the Opening of the Basic Law remain in accordance with the existing provisions. Approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes of the core ceremony has been completed, followed by entertainment prepared by the government ranks in Karanganyar Regency, one of the things that interest Joko is Derkuku Karang Dance which is carried by Junior High School and Senior High School students as Karanganyar Regency. They are representatives of the Education and Culture Office of Karanganyar Regency. Joko went straight to the front of the tent of honor, entered the dancer's area to look for the idol, he knew that Laras was there. While carrying a camera, Joko looks around looking for Laras, but has not found it, 10 minutes later he just found out where Laras position when dancing, just in front of him. During the dance performance, Joko took many photos of Laras.


The stage is over and Joko wants to catch up with Laras. He asked Ki Manteb for permission and he was allowed, Joko was very happy. He rushed to find Laras. But a lot of people there, Joko also had an idea, first he had to find the group SMP 1 Ngargoyoso just asked where Laras. Combing along the east of the square, Joko also found his school troupe, there were Pak Imam Janthara, Bu Endang Setyananingrum, Bu Dwi Marheningsih, Bu Dewi Isnanti, and Pak Hari Santosa. Joko immediately met them.


"Lho iki kok ana nice boy khi, nek ra pangling Joko ta iki??" (Lho this is how there is a handsome boy, if not wrong Joko right this??) ask the Goddess.


"Mother's load, leres." (Yes Bu is right) Joko replied.


"Kok here son and how to use a complete bagkap??" ask Bu Endang.


"Em, I'm following you to the ceremony here. Coincidentally I saw the cement on nari and I followed here." replied Joko.


"Have said that you seek someone." said the Imam.


"Hehehe, yes sir, I am looking for Laras." replied Joko timidly.


"Well, yeah.. It's there, samperin cepet hunting in the pepet others, hahaha." ledek Pak Imam.


Suddenly all the teachers who were there laughed and Joko was saying goodbye to immediately meet Laras.


"Hello. Eat again, huh?" greet Joko on the Barrel.


"Eh, what's here?? No, I don't eat." replied Laras.


"You know, I'm famous and loved by many people, don't be surprised if I'm here." replied Joko arrogant and half-literate.


"Broast you, new jatoh tau rasa!!" laras replied exasperatedly.


"I'm sorry, my dear brother. Oops!!!"


"Didih, don't be pretentious, dear." said Laras.


"Joko!! Have you eaten yet?? This is still there." said Mr. Hari.


"Sorry Sir!!" (already sir) replied Joko.


"Why are you lying to Ko??" ask Laras.


"Who's lying?? I'm not lying." replied Joko.


"Nih mine, I know you're a laper" Laras said as he offered his rice box.


Barrel blushed in embarrassment, his cheeks flushed again.


"Who will you go home with??" ask Joko.


"Yha same group, take the bus. Why why??"


"When I came home, I went back to Teak today."


"I'm going with dong Ko!?" sahut Nasya's.


"Yha Race, please!!" pinta Joko on Laras ignored Nasya.


"Yes Ko, but " answered Laras.


"OK, just me and you." said Joko cutting off Laras' unfinished speech.


Nasya's face immediately became annoyed because of Joko's nature. Though indeed from the first Joko was only attention and affection for Laras, not for other girls besides Laras.


Joko persuades Laras to take a picture together, inevitably Laras complies.


"I admit, you are the perfect couple" Mr. Hari said.


"Then take a lot of photos sir, itung-itung prewed ehehe." joko chirped.


"Hmm, little boy and wis think rabbi." (Hmm little children and have thought of marriage) said Mr. Imam.


"Namung gojek nggih sir. Ning nyuwun pengestune mawon, mugi-mugi lgoten lhoo.. Hehe." (Joking only, sir. But just ask for prayer blessing may last. Hehehe) replied Joko.


"Sik school, ora dating." (School first, do not date) said Miss Dewi.


"Lha yes kuwi, og children dating. Kaya Bu Guru khi you know, mbiyen ra nduwe girlfriend ning okeh sing ngesir." (Lha yes anyway, the little boy is dating. Kayak Bu this teacher you know, used to not have a girlfriend but many like.) added Bu Endang.


"Wih Bu Endang is great. Ning Iha kok said that Mr Imam, Mom??" (But how can you be the same Mr Imam, Ma'am??) ask Joko.


"Yes isa ta yaaa, dadi ceritane khi pisanan meet ning saran sarehan Le." (Yes it could be, so the story first met at the edge of the grave Nak) replied Mr. Imam.


Everyone laughed too.


Nasya also wanted a photo with Joko but was rejected and he was increasingly upset because he was questioned by Joko. Not only Nasya but also all the girls from Junior High 1, 2, and 3 Ngargoyoso. But at the request of Laras, Joko wanted to take pictures with them, on condition not one by one, but directly together. The girls are very cool, until they scramble to be near Joko, but different from Joko. He was very uncomfortable with the crowd and the girls' lives. Some even want to hold his hand, but Joko refused him outright, besides that there are also those who take him a selfie but Joko also refused it.


When all the events have been completed, Joko also said to go home with Laras.
