“Mas, I saw Marvel backstage first huh. I want to let her know we're here.”
“Iya darling.”
“Come on Ma'am, we'll see the kids. We give them encouragement so they don't get nervous.” Cheerful Greetings on Tessa.
“Iya Kei, come.” Tessa and Keira then went backstage to see the preparations for Marvel and the others. Because Marvel left on their own early.
“Marvel!” keira's voice calls, making Marvel's eyes sparkle. He approached his mother and hugged her.
“Mama. Finally my mom came too. Is Papa coming too?”
“Of course dear. Hows it? Ready yet?”
“I'm very nervous, Mah.” Marvel. Keira then held her son's hands together.
“Marvel, let's just say that in front of you there are only Papa and Mama watching you. Tell yourself that you want to give your best appearance to Papa and Mama. So you are more relaxed and not nervous. And another one don't forget to pray.”
“Iya Mah's. I'll try it.”
“Mama sure, you can definitely. You must be upbeat yes!”
“Thank you yes Mah.” Marvel hugged her mother tightly.
“Sama-sama darling.”
“Thank you too because Mama always accompany me practice.”
“No need to thank you, it has become the duty of Mama as a Mother.”
“I love you Mama.”
“I love you too dear. Well then Mama's back. Brother Marvel spirit!” Keira then kissed Marvel's forehead and face. But suddenly Keira's gaze was fixed on Luna. While the parents were helping their little daughter get ready, Luna sat by herself holding a ribbon. Yes, today Luna will dance with her friends. Luna has not changed clothes either. And apparently from earlier Luna also noticed Marvel and Keira.
“This is his teacher how the hell? Time yes until someone is late.” Pissed Keira.
“Mama see who?” ask Marvel.
“That's dear, your friend who sat there alone.”
“Oh it's Luna, Mah. That's what Marvel told Mama a lot. He is arrogant and does not want to talk. Looks like he's mute, Mah. Or maybe deaf.” Marvel said plainly.
“Husss, you don't talk like that. Mama helped her and she said thank you to Mama. Yes, even after that he just left.”
“Serious Mah, he's talking?”
“Viega Marvel. Yes, I want to try samperin. Poor him.”
“Iya Mah.” Answer Marvel. Keira then approached Luna.
“Hi sweet boy, we meet again. Why haven't you changed your clothes? Where's your mom, baby?” ask Keira gently. Luna simply shook her head while pointing towards the bag containing her stage uniform.
“Oh yes introduce, Aunt's name is Keira. This aunt is Marvel's mother. It's so good to see you back. Don't be afraid, we can be friends. Want Aunt help?” again Luna just nodded. Keira then took Luna to the dressing room. Keira was happy because Luna was listening to her words. Keira also braided Luna's hair like her other friends. Not to forget Keira put the ribbon on Luna's hair. Keira then took the powder out of her bag. He gave a thin powder on Luna's face. Keira dressed Luna up like she was dressing her own daughter. In Keira's mind, she was imagining Rachel when she was as big as Luna.
“BEAUTY! You are so beautiful, Luna. Auntie knows your name from Marvel. Oh yeah are you nervous?” ask Keira. Luna just nodded.
“Listen to Auntie yes, let's just say you're dancing in the room. So no one's seen you today. You are so beautiful Luna. It seems like a little smile will make you even more beautiful. Later Aunt will sit up front to give you spirit as well. Auntie would love to see you dance so beautifully.” Said Keira gently while stroking Luna's head. Luna nodded with a faint smile. He hugged Keira. Keira was surprised by Luna's sudden embrace.
“Thank you.” The little lips finally made a sound.
“Sama-sama Luna's. Then Auntie came out because the show started soon.” Keira. Luna took off her embrace. Keira then went and sat down with her husband.
“You were so long ago darling?” kevin protested in a whisper.
“I'm giving Marvel spirit, Mas. She's feeling nervous. I also greeted another Marvel friend. I swear to God, they are funny and adorable. There is a Marvel friend named Luna. I've imagined Rachel that big. She was beautiful and dancing on stage. Can't wait for the big Rachel, Mas.”
“This you, fortunately Rahcel Anteng in Johan.”'s lap
“Lho yes, I just realized that Rachel is not with you. Yes, yes, Mas. At least our hands can rest for a while. Also, Johan looks painstaking and comfortable with Rachel.”
“Yes too,” said Kevin with a small smile.
...****************...
And the show began. The atmosphere in the Hall was getting crowded because the guardians of the students had filled all the invitation seats. After a few words of welcome ranging from foundation owners, principals to end-level homeroom, finally the entertainment event began. Entertainment events start from Luna's class performance. Seeing Luna come off the stage, Keira gave her wide smile towards Luna. Keira then gave her two thumbs up to Luna. Luna smiled faintly at Keira. And Luna managed to give her best performance without feeling nervous and full of confidence. After Luna took the stage, it was Anrez's turn to take the stage. Anrez falls into the choir. Johan and Tessa compactly give thumbs up for her son. Anrez gave his big smile to his parents. Tessa and Johan are very proud to see Anrez giving his best performance. And the appearance that was waiting for Kevin and Keira finally arrived as well. It is a Marvel performance that brings poetry musicalization. With the art teacher who accompanied Marvel to read poetry with a piano.
“Spirit Marvel!” kevin shouted while raising both hands. Not happy but Marvel was embarrassed by his Papa's attitude which was considered too excessive. Keira gave a big smile to her son.
“Passion darling! You can definitely.” Said Keira with just a movement of her lips. Marvel nodded with a smile back at his mother.
“Wah, my son is great. He who used to be moody and aloof now dare to appear in front of many people.” Kevin muttered full of admiration.
“Iya yes Mas. I'm so proud to see Marvel standing on that stage, Mas.”
“All thanks to you baby. You gave her a lot of love and affection. What are the words in the poem you also made it?”
“Iya Mas's. That's the personal duty of Marvel's homeroom teacher. I thought I'd change the contents but said the homeroom teacher said the poem was very good.”
“Even Marvel can record the tempo of the music with each verse of his poem yes dear. My wife is so great. I'm proud of you and also my dear Marvel. Thank you dear.”
“Sama-sama Mas's. It's my duty too, Mas.”
Finally the day's event finished with the announcement of the general champion starting from the 1-6th grade. Kevin was even more proud when the name Marvel was referred to as the 1st general champion consisting of five classes. Keira even shed tears when she heard the announcement. Marvel then went on stage followed by his parents. Not to forget Rachel's already in Kevin's arms.
“Congratulations yes, Marvel. Keep improving your performance.” Said the Headmaster.
“Iya Pak.”
“Congratulations Yes Gentlemen. Marvel's development is getting faster. Definitely this is all thanks to the compactness of Mr and Mrs.” Said the Headmaster while shaking Kevin and Keira's hands in turn.
“Thank you, Sir. This is also thanks to you and all the teachers here.” Said Kevin. The school took a picture of Marvel with her family.
“Happy Sister Marvel. Papa and Mama are very proud of your achievements, Nak.”
“Marvel is also proud to have parents like Papa and Mama. I love you too Pah-Mah.”
“I love yo too Brother Marvel.” Kevin and Keira said.
