39 Eps. Opinions of Dico

Jamal has arrived at his base. He came last because the other children came home first after the gig. Once there, Jamal joined.

"Yes! We were so cool to know! Do you realize that?" exclaim Arik excited.

"Banget! You saw the audience earlier, everyone jumped in line with the music we brought! Crazy one! Don't be kayak anyway, see they were excited like that!" connect Ares.

"It looks like we succeeded this time, I still feel the spirit to perform again," said Erik relaxed and calm.

"Heh, that's still not how much. Next time we make something even cooler than this" said Dico.

"What do you mean elo? So, you mean, our looks were lacking, right?" ask Ares.

"Gue didn't say that anyway, only I gave my opinion. We actually looked cool in front of them. But, in my opinion, we are less perfect," said Dico with a cynical tone.

"Hey, what do you mean, Elo, Dico?" asked Arik astonished.

"Dico, elo do not destroy our atmosphere again seneng gini dong, join the cake with us-us. However, we have just appeared, our compactness that has made them so excited like that. Elo see for yourself, how they enjoy our appearance so much" explained Ares.

"Yeah, the combination of music and our vocalist, really drugging the audience. I think our band started to like the kids, right, Jamal?" erik asked for an answer from Jamal.

"You all have a point, too. You've all been trying to make our appearance by starting rehearsals every time you go home from school. I'm cool, if you guys are on a kayak gini seneng. And, we were there very compact. This is the result of our daily training. Maybe, what Dico said is true, next time we make something cooler than this," explained Jamal.

"Kok, elo so follow Dico anyway, Jamal. What, according to Elo, are we not doing at all? Elo not satisfied with the results of our appearance?" ask Arik who was astonished.

"Yes, the point is we have to be better than today" Dico said.

Jamal could say nothing more. He did not want to talk wrongly to Dico, afraid that there would be another conflict like a few days ago. Because unfortunately, even though Jamal has struggled to make peace with Dico. He's very much trying to get back to making things up with Dico. If Jamal misspokes again, of course Dico will turn to hate him. Honestly, even though Jamal actually felt very satisfied and happy to perform them there. They have brought out their best abilities. Although only appearing in a small event, for him it is an extraordinary thing, because finally they can show their performance in front of many people. And, Jamal was happy because of that. Jamal did not forget what he had done today. Then, what about Dico who looks not so satisfied with their appearance earlier. Truly, this was beyond the thought of Jamal and the others.

"OKAY. I unplug first yes, I still have other business" said Dico while standing.

"Eh, you want to go back now? Not with an apert?" ask Ares.

"No. I still have important business. You guys enjoy it here. Okay, I go first," he replied as he opened the door. Suddenly, he stopped and turned around. Then, he said, "oh yes, chief," said Dico as he glanced at Jamal.

"Yes?"

"So elo's performance was great! Cool! I like it, keep it up, chief!" he said it and then opened the door, then disappeared from view.

For Jamal, even though it was a word of praise for him, somehow when Dico delivered it, it felt like Dico looked cold to him. Jamal could feel it. But was it just his mind, or were the other kids aware of it? Jamal does not want him to misunderstand Dico and think badly of him.

"Gue doesn't know what Dico is thinking right now" Erik added.

"Dico's praising our band, or what? And again, why did he just leave. He doesn't want to hang out with us, does he?" ask Arik.

"Oh, you guys calm down. Dico said, right, if he has important business" Jamal said.

"Elo is also the chairman, why elo diem aja and even ngebelain Dico, as if we are nothing without him. You should have rebuked Dico, "Ares protested.

Jamal chuckled, "Dico said so for us, for our band too. And, for today you must be tired, right? You guys better rest at home, we'll get together again tomorrow. Don't forget, you also have to think about school. Not all your time is just for the band, okay?"

"Huh, if you're not the one who talks, I won't be horrified!" said Arik.

"This Elo can still be relaxed that ngadepin Dico, although many times Dico if talking like as good as udelnya, even often nyakitin if talking. Yes, he speaks brains! The guy's brain is dull!" ares geregetan.

"From the beginning Dico was not fond of us, especially with Jamal," said Erik. "Didn't you guys want to, when Jamal first got into our band. He was cynical with Jamal, constantly. Especially fitting Kak Romi appointed him as chairman plus vocalis. The more obvious if Dico does not agree. And now, I don't think Dico likes Jamal."

Again Jamal just laughed, "You guys just misunderstood him. Don't think like that, Dico is the same with us who just want to understand each other and share opinions. Maybe it was one of them. Without us knowing, Dico was thinking about our band, he was too close to us. It's just that he's unconscious. Hence, he spoke like that for all of us" he explained later.

"Curtain! Elo spoke like that again. How we do not salute you, Jamal. What the hell science that elo have, so that elo can be as calm as that Dico's rude and urgency. Wonder me, there are still people like elo in this day and age?" cananda Ares's.

"I'm in the Elo position, I can't stand it. It exploded like a Nagasaki bomb!" arik.

Jamal was amused to hear it, "It's not hard. Just patient, patient and patient. If we 'can' with that patience, then it will become a habit that we can not escape. Unknowingly, we will be able to use it at all times."

"That's patience there are three, huh? Which patience is it?" erik asked, joking.

They all laughed at Erik's question. Really funny question Erik, even he managed to make the atmosphere stiff become liquid again.
