The streets of Semarang this morning are quite crowded as well. Maybe because it's Sunday. Wake up to pick Elsa up to her house with her beloved matic motorbike. Not with a cool guy car.
Wake up preferring to use something simple and comfortable. Like his motor. Not because of the Wake up people don't have children. Precisely because of the Wake up son of one of the conglomerates in Semarang. But to wake up there is no difference at all. Want a conglomerate child, a son of the president, or even a child of the workers. For him the same, that is, his status is still a child.
The trip to Elsa's house took almost half an hour. And when Wake up in front of the fence of Elsa's house, it turns out Elsa was waiting for him first.
“I'm old, huh? Sorry,” said Wake up not feeling good.
“Look back again. I just got out too. Depart now, yuk,” take Elsa.
“Eh! Bentar,” interrupt Wake up. Elsa just looked at Wake up confused and asked why.
“Kok, I don't seem gentle anyway, El.”
“Neither gentle because of what?”
“Then I invite you not to say goodbye to your parents,” obviously Wake up.
“Kirain. It's okay, besides I had permission earlier,” said Elsa reassured Bangun.
“El, horrifying me. A real man is a man who always asks permission from his parents if he wants to go with his children. Let me and you get the label.”
Elsa held back her smile because of Wake up. So melting the point. Elsa squeezed the sling bag strap she was wearing because the Wake up greeting made a great pleasure.
Just this time Elsa found a real male figure in Wake up. And that was a surprise for him. It’s amazing!
“Label? What label?”
“You know?” Elsa nodded her head curiously.
“Ya brought me to meet your parents.”
“You're not afraid? Not groggy?” ask Elsa.
“Fear? Still human, right? Real men are not most of the talk but immediately gas. He said he was curious,” said Build up the spirit.
“Ya come on.”

Finally, Elsa brings Bangun back into the house to meet her parents. It is clear that the nervous Elsa is not Awake. Waking up seems very calm.
Many times Elsa had to exhale without waking up. Just about to open the door of her house, Elsa was surprised because from the inside it was open first. What makes Elsa more groggy is, his father who opened the door.
Brave as a hero, Get up quickly to Elsa's father and shake hands politely. Making Elsa secretly sigh in relief.
“Include, Om. My name is Wake up. You are called but not called darling. Because if it's baby, I'm the one who bothers. Ehehehe..”.
Elsa and her father who heard Bangun introduce themselves only looked at each other in surprise. Then a second later, they both laughed at the word Wake up.
After a brief introduction Wake up that ended the laughter of Elsa and her father, Elsa's father immediately asked what was wrong. Because as far as she knows, Elsa just decided to go with her friend. It was unexpected that his friend asked him for permission.
Elsa's friend said, if they have to get a label to get away. And that label is a permission label.
While wandering around the corners where the painting was attached, Wake broke the silence between herself and Elsa.
“Nice, already got the label?”
Elsa who was still focused on the painting in front of her turned to look towards Bangun who was on her left. While continuing the steps that followed Wake up, Elsa replied, “Never been as happy as earlier.”
Waking up smiling at Elsa's reply. After that they re-soluble in every painting plastered on the wall.
After touring the painting exhibition, Elsa again invited Bangun to walk down the streets of Semarang. Although Bangun was born and raised to the age of sixteen years, but Wake rarely even out of his shell.
Maybe it's time to wake up to open a new world so that his life is not too monotonous. And thanks to Elsa, Wake can adjust the Wake world as new.

And when they have risen to the rank of eleventh grade, there will usually be many children with bad boy stamps. And Wake up is arguably included and arguably not included.
Because since SMP Wake up as well. And in SMA the possibility is also the same.

The first semester break woke up like no other family. Wake up choosing to spend time with Mother Ajeng. Because honestly Wake up does not like vacationing, so Wake always ask if they are on vacation time they will only spend time together at home.
Waking up again has too often spent time with Elsa. It's not just Elsa. With Hadyan and friends during Junior High too.
But not as often as the intensity of the meeting Wake up and Elsa.

The odd semester holiday is over and Wake up again as usual. Starting from breakfast, going to school, to going home from school.
“Morning, Mother,” say Wake up in the morning is quite sunny.
“Morning too, boy. Ready with new expectations in this new year?” ask Mommy while moving the omelet to the plate Wake up.
“Too much hope, Bun. To be confused about which one you used to be,” replied Wake up ala perfungnya.
“Hope can meet Love again maybe.”
The movement of chewing Wake up immediately stopped when Mother called the name Love. After a long time Waking up never heard that name again. Now in the new year, Wake up again to hear people who are actually Awakening avoid.
Aye! After waiting for a reply message from Cinta who ultimately did not wake up knowing because Bangun directly asked Hadyan to help remove contacts and messages in the name of Cinta.
Hadyan asked why, but Bangun said it was okay. Type of women. Until now Bangun buried deep in his curiosity about Love.
Waking up jolted from her daydream when Mother waved her hand in front of her face.
“Why daydream?” ask Mommy. Wake up to shake her head in response and return to bribe her breakfast.
“Thinking Love, yes?” guess the unlucky Mother is on target.
“Slightly,” honestly Build. As if reading the mind Wake up, Mother Ajeng reassured Wake up about Love. Although Wake up does not tell any story about Love, but Mother Ajeng knows if secretly her son is still thinking about Love.
“Morning, everyone,” greet Daddy Evan cheerful. Wake up to reply to Daddy's greeting and watch his Daddy's interaction as he approached Mother Ajeng and kissed Mother's forehead and stroked Mother's veil slowly.
Seeing Daddy makes Wake up remember when Love cries. Where Wake up also does a Daddy kind of thing but there's no kiss on the forehead.

The atmosphere of breakfast in the Wake family is never quiet. Even though it was only the three of them due to Wake up that was an only child. But the sense of loneliness is actually lost replaced with funny things that usually Daddy Evan do.
“What is your activity today, boy?” ask Daddy Evan when Wake up has finished his last feed.
“Look Elsa workout nari for a minute. After that go home,” reply Wake up.
“Boy, do you really like seeing Elsa? You don't go with nari either, do you?” tanyanya full of search.
“Ck. Yes, it is not. Just look, kok.”
“Thankful. Boy, do you know you need anything else? Your play is less far.”
“I mean play far away? Kayak to penguin place?”
“Honey, what are you our children. Why is he playing less like this?” ask Daddy to Mommy Ajeng. Mother actually clucked in wonder because her husband looks more.
“Boy, it does not have to be a far place to play. You should know, when Daddy was your age, Daddy was a young man who liked freedom. I mean gini, Daddy used to often look for new things. Not trying anything negative. But the positive. Like many additional classes, from music classes, cooking classes, sewing classes, and participating in these activities that Daddy had forgotten because there were many others.
Let what? Let us know that our lives aren't always in our comfort zone, boy. The point is that you can spend your time as long as you are young and play as far as you can. Expand connections with the outside world,” explained Daddy Evan.
Wake up listening to Daddy's words carefully. Times like this are rare because usually Daddy Evan always joked. Unlike today who looks serious in the eyes of Wake up.
