The Secret of the Detective

The Secret of the Detective
12. Rest Hours



Although Kiran hates history lessons, but this time she manages not to fall asleep. The two-hour history lesson did not feel over because his brain was busy sneering and criticizing the history teacher who according to his assumption liked to spread charm and flirtatious.


How not flirtatious if for two hours, the history teacher always smiled at the female student who asked or answered questions, even though she smiled too when there were students who asked or answered. However, during these two hours, most female students are active.


Kiran assumes that the girls are very active in the history class because of his handsome history teacher. Most of them instead of studying but were engrossed in attracting the attention of the handsome young teacher.


Kiran checked her lesson schedule for a week and she saw that two days later, on Wednesday there was another history lesson in her class, she would automatically meet again with her history teacher who was a hobby of the charm.


“Good friends, see you again on Wednesday. Don't forget the job I gave you today. Especially for Annisa who must read a lot more about the historical site of her hometown.”


“Cih, he would like to give me a special assignment. You're a handyman looking for attention. I'm interested in what he is. Ih amit-amit deh, I will not like the guy who spread the charm so.” Rutuk Kiran in his heart while tapping the table. Lost was already the charm of the Theme in Kiran's eyes.


“Why, Nis?” baim asked astonished to see Kiran's behavior knocking on the table.


The one being asked can only be heard.


“Lunch time. Come with me to the canteen!” bring Baim.


Kiran nodded her head in agreement.


They walked together to the school cafeteria.


In the school cafeteria there are many students who are ordering food and who are already engrossed in eating voraciously at the dining table of the elongated canteen.


“Rest of 10th, 11th, and 12th grade children is different so the canteen is not full and not crowded. Who had been busy eating it was a 10th grader who had not entered the class,” explained Baim.


“Oh,” response Kiran while looking for Adam, his teammate who served as a janitor.


“You looking ready, Nis?” ask Baim.


“Find an empty bench,” replied Kiran accordingly.


“Tuh empty bench. We sit there.” Baim pulls Kiran's hand.


While walking towards the empty chair, Kiran caught a glimpse of Adam walking across the canteen carrying a bucket and mop.


“What do you want to order?” ask Baim.


“Wait here. I'll order us a meal first.”


“Ya,” replied Kiran with eyes that are still focused on the phone screen, reading news about her idols in the world of Korean drama. She is currently reading hot news about her marriage to her favorite top actor and actress couple.


After reading about her favorite actors and actresses. He immediately remembered his mission and task. He noticed all the students and students passing by and chatting in the cafeteria.


Kiran saw several groups that were gathering in the canteen. The same group as when he was in school. Popular student groups will gather alongside popular students as well. Students who bring supplies from home will gather with the same students, students who are nerds will spend their rest periods in the library. Looks like the circle of High School children is still the same from the past until now.


Kiran began sharpening her hearing to catch the chatter of children who were considered slang children. It was not without purpose that he chose a chair at the location where he was sitting now.


Kiran observed that not far from the location she was sitting in, there was a group of students with a look unlike most students. He heard chatter about adult vidio, cigarettes, and also other things that he had not been able to catch because Baim had returned with two bowls in his right and left hands, he said, as well as two boxes of juice in his pants pocket.


“I bought chicken noodles. You like?” baim asked as he placed two bowls of chicken noodles on the table.


“Suka,” Kiran replied.


“Nih, drink it.” Baim placed two boxes of bottled juice on the canteen table.


“Still.” said Kiran.


“Let's replace the one that bought me. I will win the bet,” said Baim.


“Eh?” Kiran looked up at Baim.


“We were betting. If you fall asleep in history class, I'll treat you. But if you are not bored and do not fall asleep in history class, you want to be invited to walk and treat me.” Baim reminded me of their bet before history class started this morning.


“I don't like the same history lessons. I was not bored and did not sleep because I was busy cursing the history teacher. I don't like him,” honest Kiran.


“Haaah? You don't like the same Mr Tema? How can? Usually girls like the same Mr. Theme. I'm the only guy who likes the same way to teach Mr. Themes,” I'm Baim.


“I'm not an ordinary girl. I'm amazing,” whispered Kiran whining.
