The Sun Becomes a Star
Guys Makeup Bersepda Motor
Finally finished my school hours for today. Since I'm used to school, then I don't take it as torture even though I have to hold my aching stomach when the lesson – lessons involve counting. The number – numbers and all those formulas have never been friends with me.
With Trisakti and Jell I walked towards the school gate with dozens of –ty other children wearing white ash – ash uniforms. The three of us were busy talking about our plans to go swimming Thursday afternoon.
“Indeed you can ? Ask Jell to me.
“Of course it is Jell. I am now free from Tonia.” My answer.
“Wah, your income is reduced dong.” Trisakti walks beside me.
“Iya. I'm back to being a missqueen. If you guys have any info naka who need tutoring english well. Yesterday I was quite happy because I thought I would get a job from Kevin's brother. But now maybe I should find another one again.”
“I don't think it's difficult for you to find a student.” Jell walking while kicking – kick small stone.
“Not always anyway. Now my student is one, only Ladova. So my knowledge is reduced automatically. In this city whose life depends on giving tutoring khan not me. Even often I have to ‘lah’ can students with – people who have become scholars.”
“Mending you find work in Mc. D or where May” Trisakti is trying to propose. He is a good friend.
“Wah, if in Mc. D, who works there are already all scholars. Makep – saucy again,” Jell.
“Tuh khan's. In Amrik, there are many SMU children who work at Mc. D” I said while comparing what I had read to what I was seeing now.
“We find ice mix first yuk. Hot gini definitely favors drinking ice mix.” Trisakti proposed while looking at me and Jell expectantly.
“Where ?”
“Front station.” And we walked there. My school is located around a roundabout of the monument a few hundred meters from the direction of the station. So the invitation to buy mixed ice at the station is not an unreasonable invitation. The three of us walked along the sidewalk. This road that I am going through is one of the roads that has the most trees as a coolant in the city of Malang. You can imagine, walking with your friends while exchanging stories under the tree – big trees. How does it feel ? I think my bag is shaking. There's a call coming in. I saw the screen flashing – blinks. Papa's Number.
“May, where are you again?”
“New out of school Pa. Papa where is this ?”
“Di Jakarta's. Have you heard the news yet?”
“Not yet Pa.” I chat with Papa while walking.
“Check by May. Gini May, Papa is assigned to Jakarta. At least next week we can go home. While you stay at Grandma's house only.”
“Kok at Grandma's house anyway Pa. Mending May at home alone rather than having to be there every day.” I don't want to torture myself by staying at Grandma's house. I can already imagine what it's like to go through a lonely night with gecko sounds every day. Not to mention if the gecko – gecko went into my room.
“Have not denied. Papa just wants you to take care of him. That's it !” I heard Papa's voice a little hoarse over the phone.
“Papa, May can take care of herself. May doesn't need Grandma.”
”At least do this for Papa's sake. Make Papa's heart calm May.”
“May still have to give tutoring to Ladova. Not yet Imelda. Who will feed him ?”
“Bring me Imelda all. Papa called your grandmother. You can go back to school every day from there. Keep telling me for one week you don't give lessons to Ladova. Easy right?”
“Papa kok nanya May first before nomong to Grandma anyway ?” I said to Papa in an irritated tone.
“Papa has rushed – buru May. The person Papa was waiting for has already arrived. Just obey Papa's orders. How?” Papa said in a heavy voice that he always used if he was right – really seriously revealed something.
“May ?!” Papa's voice is rising.
“Iya .. yes Pa.” very much I have to agree.
“Take care,” says Papa. Then a waiting tone sounded from my HP. Papa has cut off our talks unilaterally.
“What's up?” Trisakti asked while Jell seemed not to care. Jell is not the type of girl who likes to interfere in other affairs even though she is someone who has the most complete information about what happens in school.
“Papa to Jakarta. I was told to stay at Grandma's.”
“We don't so go swimming dong?!” Jell looked worried.
“Can we go swimming. Origin home not too late.”
“OK ..” Jell looks happy because the plans we made did not change.
“You know how tormented I was there ?”
“Iya. It's been a million – million times you've told us. Good thing my grandmother was well” Jell said bored while making comparisons.
“It is also difficult then ..” Trisakti said. This time he did not calm down. Just feeling concerned. And I told them again for the last time about my grandmother. About his attitude to me when he is not in the mood or there is a cousin – my other cousin is staying there too.
“You don't feel any motorbike following us?” ask Trisakti.
“Mana ?” Jell turned her head. Get – noleh to search.
“Yah Lord Jell. Don't look like dong. What is natural ...” Trisakti says shame.
“Daddy nih Jell. Ntar we are thought to be looking for more attention ..” I said.
“Casual. You two have always been too afraid of everything. This is a public place. No one will dare to disturb us. Where the hell is Tri ?” Jell kept turning – looking for the motorcycle that Trisakti intended.
“After us exactly. Five o'clock direction. Big motorcycle dark blue color. You didn't see ?” Trisakti speaks slowly – slowly as if – will be afraid someone will hear.
“Oh it. Cute dude. The helmet was released,” Jell shouted excitedly so I was also curious to see the guy who said cute, but with a movement that – did not make. Just circulate the view as if – will accidentally see. After I saw – right that cute guy, my face immediately turned crimson.
“Come fast ... don't care,” I took Trisakti and Jell's hands to walk faster.
“Okaya May. Beautiful scenery will not come twice.”
“You're okay – what ?” Trisakti asked me.
“What's – what. Quick aja yukkk ... very thirsty nih ..” plus fast I walk while pulling Trisakti and Jell's hands.
