Trapped in 2001
Silent Treatment
Mario came home at about 8 p.m., when the lights were turned off. He opened the door and turned on the lights. But he was surprised when he found Deddy sitting at the dinner table, he thought Deddy was asleep.
"Where are you Mario?"
Deddy's cold voice rang out, like a parent who was very angry at his son.
"Da, from go same temen, dad."
"Do you know what time it is?"
"Hour 8, dad."
"You haven't come home since noon and you haven't gone too far. SMS not in bales, phone not picked up. What do you want?"
Mario was surprised to hear that, not his words but his tone. He didn't expect Deddy to be that angry with him.
"Dad, Mario just went along. Don't be mad at that high note."
"Going together there is also the presence of Mario, you are still a child. It is also a first-class SMP. At least permission is the same as parents, so parents do not worry and parents' minds are not going anywhere. Daddy's been watching you all day."
Mario looked down, he thought Deddy here was just a complement to his life. But apparently, Deddy also plays a full role as his parents.
"Sorry Mario, dad. Mario I promise not to believe this anymore."
Deddy got up from the dining table, he went into the room and slammed the door a little. Makes Mario surprised at once stiff.
The next morning when he was about to go to school, Mario did not find Deddy at all. There was only a glass of warm milk and bread on the dining table.
Deddy has gone to his office without waking Mario, and Mario feels so guilty and unwell. Because some time lately, usually they spend quality time in the morning together. Either just sports together or talk at the dinner table. But today, Mario made it all go away.
"Mario, game...!"
Cavin yelled at Mario from the front of the house, and the teenager came out and locked the door. A moment later, they left for school together.

"Lo why the hell, same with Deddy?" cavin asked as he, Mario, and Brian exited the school gates during the break.
They approached an impromptu merchant who was being mobbed by Junior High and Elementary students from primary school, who came from across from their school.
"Daddy angry because of yesterday I did not ngabarin, if I go with Marcell and bokap my birth.”
"Lagian elo anyway, you're here o'm Deddy. Yes, you price him.” said Cavin again.
"He's worried about you, bro.” Brian chimed.
"Sampe nyari lo here, everywhere.” he continued later.
Mario was silent, he knew he was wrong. But what is still disturbing his mind is, Deddy did not send an SMS or call. As he often did in previous days. Mario feels bad if in silent treatment like this, he wants to be okay with Deddy.
"This is what the hell?" ask Brian in curiosity.
He saw an SD kid playing unplug the rope. On a large rope, under which hang a lot of toys and snacks.
"It's a draw, kak, time don't know.” One of the SD kids said.
"What's the draw?" ask Brian again.
He had never seen a game like that. Especially in the future, the school is a semi-international school, as well as Mario and Cavin. In their era, this game was already very rare to find.
"This is how it plays, pick it, keep pulling it." The boy practiced however,
"Well not dapet.” he said later.
Mario and Cavin watched.
"Try here I unplug.” Brian was hot-hearted to see the little ones never succeed, even for the umpteenth time.
"Anjir don't get.” Brian was equally unsuccessful, but he tried to unplug again.
"Anpir failed again.”
Brian's not kapok yet.
"Fuck."
Mario and Cavin shut Brian's mouth. Instantly Brian also realized, if now he was around a small child. He then grinned and retracted the thread.
"One, two, three, fifteen, sixteen.”
Sixteen threads were plucked without success.
"Teng-teng-teng."
Suddenly the bells sign of the end of the break sounded.
"Anjrite."
"Eh deck, pay first.”
Suddenly the brother of the seller who provided the drawback also charged them.
"Are you paying?" Mario, Brian, and Cavin said almost at the same time.
"Yes, you think it's free?"
"Don't you get the prize?"
"Yes keep paying.”
"Ye, why pay?. I'm sure this koq must be cheating. That must be the prize, the thread is not up. And the thread on top of that is none of them have a prize."
"It's your business to get it or not, which obviously pays."
"No way" said Brian fiercely.
"Oh yes, I report to your teacher."
Brian, Mario and Cavin were looking. They do not want to be involved in any more problems with the teacher, after the problem with F4 yesterday is not over.
"Yes already Bri, pay aja.” said Mario later.
Brian breathed.
"How many is it?"
"Calculate aja, 24 times 1000.”
"Highly expensive, empty thread doang.”
"You pay or I report in?”
"Lah that's SD kid pay him 500 silver.”
"It fits their pockets. You guys are already Junior High, where the school is good again.”
"So this means the price game depends on who is it?"
"Oh yes dong, if the office is different again the price. Can be as per revenue.”
Brian, Mario, and Cavin face each other and compactly widen lips.
"Yes, that's it."
Brian took the money out of his pocket. Fortunately in this era he was also the son of a fairly rich family, so 24 thousand was no problem for him. Although other children are still 5000-10,000 on average, he already holds 50-100 thousand dollars per day.
"My surprise, the racketeering is a man.”
Brian continued to grumble, as they all entered the school gate.
"What a sale so we tomorrow.” said Mario.
"Good idea tuh.” Cavin said.
"That does not pay us threatening to use gole.”
"Haha."
The three of them laughed.
"Eh, you didn't see Adrian?"
Suddenly Mario asks a question, which makes Brian and Cavin turn around and give him a look. More precisely semi-blasphemy.
"Elu, who doesn't come.” said the two of them.
"Lo on the dateng?"
"Yes he is a man of doang, tweezers nyampe. Lo is busy with your father and brother, just as you do not want.”
"Ntar afternoon, I'm there.”
"Don't promise doang lo.” Brian said.
"Yes, he got typus.” by Cavin.
"Typus?"
"Yes, that's why you look there.” said Cavin again.
"Yes." Yeah."
They also entered the class.
