A busy morning welcomes Kinnati. He had breakfast in a hurry, and was fed by Lukman. Both hands were busy wearing shoes. He said in about five minutes, Jack would be there soon to pick him up. Hah, even though it was up early enough, but still time is so fast rolling.
“What time should I get there?” Lukman asked the princess who was tying shoelaces.
“Let's tell ya Dad. Possibly after Kinan qualified for the final round. You see, said Mr. Jack, the final exam round that must be followed for the determination of the Olympic winner. Do’ wish Kinan until that round.”
“Iyaa, definitely Father do’ain. Aaa first, let your child focus when answering questions.” Lukman tried to feed the last mouth back to Kinanti. Kinanti opened her mouth wide and chewed on her food quickly.
Before long, the sound of car horns sounded in front of the house. “Dad, Kinan already picked up.” Kinanti jumped in shock.
“Iyaa, drink first, Nak.” Lukman thrust out a Kinanti glass and immediately gulped until it ran out.
“Depart Yes Father, Dad's drug!” Kinanti hugged Lukman for a while before leaving after greeting him.
"Be careful, son." Lukman stood on the doorstep of his house waving his hand at the princess. His hand-welding accompanied Kinanti's departure until the car carrying her daughter left until it was completely out of sight.
“Father's Son..” Lukman said as he wiped his tears that suddenly dripped. There was a sense of harrum and pride that burst into his chest.
He still remembers how he encouraged Kinanti to rise after her mother's departure. His daughter was almost desperate and always said, who accompanied him learned that his mother was not there while Lukman was busy working.
The words of the Kinanti made Lukman feel slapped. Playing two roles as a father and mother is not easy. However, as time went on and Kinanti grew older, the beautiful girl began to understand her condition and grew more mature in attitude. Despite this, the anxiety and worry that Lukman felt still remained the same.
On the way, Kinanti and Demian both felt the tension of facing the race. The further this car goes, the more it feels like competition that makes the adrenaline race fast.
“Where are you ready?” ask Jack who is sitting next to the driver. He looked at Kinanti and Demian who were sitting at the back.
“Siyap,” sahut Kinanti while nodding.
“Ya, I'm also ready.” Demian chimed in.
“Okey, good. Up there, we have time to prepare for about an hour. You can do anything before you go to test class but my advice is, don't study. Because it will only make you more tense.” Jack gave advice.
Kinanti and Demian compactly nodded.
“How many students are in the Olympics now?” ask Demian. The teenager looked very ready.
“For MIPA about two hundred people. The first round there will be a massive elimination and leaving only ten people.the ten people will take the second test, leaving three people to enter the stress test or final session. The selection of champions one through three is determined there. So today, we can already directly get the results of who is the Olympic champion this year.” Jack looked at Demian and Kinanti alternately. They look pretty tense.
“Spirit dong! Me and the school never obligated our students to win. But we hope you show your best abilities. This Olympics does bring the good name of the school but the positive feedback will come back to you. So, spirit. Because this is for your future.” Jack clenched both his hands in excitement.
“Iyaa, I'll be excited!” sahut Kinanti and Demian almost simultaneously.
“Good job! Give me five!” Jack stretched out his hand to the tos and Kinanti also Demian replied to him in turn. The soul of the competition was completely lit up in their eyes.
Half an hour drive to the race place is easily reached. There was no significant traffic because they left early enough. Kinanti was given a preparation room with Demian. The gaze of every student they met seemed to show the drums of war on their fellow students who would become their rivals.
“For the sake of it, I'm really tense huh?” Kinanti felt her heart pounding very hard and her hands were cold.
“Calm down, you sit down first.” Demian touched Kinanti's wet hands from sweating. Kinanti looked at her hand held by Demian and then slowly tried to let go.
“Oh, sorry. I don't mean anything.” Demian seemed to realize that Kinanti was not too comfortable.
“Iya.” Kinanti immediately moved her hands behind her body. Squeezing the tissue he had been holding since. Because of that the atmosphere became clumsy.
Jack who saw the interaction of the two children smiled to himself. It seems true that Yudhistira said last night that his son liked Kinanti and he was asked to watch over the two children.
Not long after the call sounded loud enough. That ringing sound came from Demian's phone. “Before a minute, I answer the phone first,” say goodbye Demian.
“Oh yes, please.” Kinanti nodded, giving way for the demian to pass by. The teenager seemed to be in a hurry, no matter who contacted him.
While waiting for Demian, Kinanti went around the school building that was used as an Olympic force venue. This international school is hosting this year's Olympics. The atmosphere is cool, spacious and clean. Kinanti chose to sit on the bench of the park to calm herself down. Paying attention to other students from a distance, becomes an entertainment in itself.
“Nak, have you reached the Olympic venue?” a message was received by Kinanti from her father.
This time it was not a text message that was a reply from Lukman, but a voicemail. “Silent win. Kan Kinan has learned and prepared everything to the maximum. Now it's time for Kinan to show what Kinan learned. Losing or winning is not a target. At this stage, I was very proud. Spirit yes, Son!” lukman said in a soothing voice. Kinanti could imagine, the father must have smiled after saying this sentence.
“Iya, Father.” The sound of the Kinantipun is made full of enthusiasm. After that, I clutched his phone tightly. Really, Lukman's support is one of his encouragement. Not long after, Kinanti's phone rang and displayed a person's name.
“Yes, Kal.” Kala's call was immediately answered by Kinanti. It seems like he is very much waiting for a message or call from his best friend.
“Hey, have you entered class yet?” kala's voice sounded light and deep, making Kinanti's heart suddenly beat gently.
“Not yet. It's still outside. It's like coming in.” Kinanti looked at the clock in her hand, about fifteen minutes away.
“By video call?” kala Pinta.
“Ya, can.” Within seconds of the video call being connected, Kinanti's face was reddish.
“You again on rooftop?” ask Kinanti when she sees Kala sitting on the carpet.
“Iyaa, more breakfast. Have you had breakfast?” Kala showed me his breakfast menu.
“Udah. Before leaving.” Kinanti walk around the park makes Kala can see the cool atmosphere of his cellphone camera.
“You again where is it?”
“I'm again in the school garden. Let's not be tense, so I take a walk first.”
“Self?” Kala wants to make sure.
“Iyaa. Demian answered the phone and hasn't returned. If Mr Jack is in the prep room.”
“Thank God,” says Kala hangs. He was feeding rice into his mouth.
“Thankful what?” Kinanti was curious.
“Ngak, not nothing.” Kala just smiled a little. Where might he say thankfully Kinanti was not with Demian. If that were to happen, it looks like he will catch up right now.
“Kinanti,” call voice belongs to Jack.
“Ya!” Kinanti immediately replied. He saw Jack waving his hand at him.
“Kal, I'm in first. I'd like to start like.” Kinanti said quickly.
“Okey, goodluck yes. Succeeded. If anyone doubts, let me be the same father. Later you whiskin.” Kala tried to tempt Kinanti not to tense up.
“Whisper what? Answer?”
“Not, passion. Where can I help you answer, learning is rare. That's also if you are teaching.” He chuckled at the end of his sentence.
“Hahahaha, there are you. Yes, I went in first. Bye Kala.” Kinanti waved her hand sweetly.
“Bye Kinan, success yes... SPIRIT OF KINAN!!” Kala yelled to encourage Kinanti.
“Hahahaha, crazy bottom!” Kinanti shook her head not understanding Kala's behavior.
After the phone call, Kinanti immediately approached Jack. “Where's demian?” ask Jack.
“Demian? I'm not with Demian, Mr. Jack. She said goodbye to the phone, haven't she returned?” Kinanti was confused. Looking around to find Demian.
“Yes, you go in first. Let me find Demian.” Jack patted Kinnati on the shoulder and Kinanti could only nod obediently.
Where is demian?
