Chapter 20
' The Master's gaze made me even more nervous' Inner Binar momentarily returned the Young Master's smile that was clearly aimed at him. That handsome guy does have everything a woman wants. He is handsome, rich, successful, learned and very generous. Although sometimes his words are a little harsh but he was sure in the past the man was once a gentle and loving figure but has been let down by someone.
Binar then looked at the row of race participants' seats on his left side, some empty seats were fully filled by the participants of the race.
Some of them smiled and reached out to Binar. Dinar is happy to meet.
After giving a speech, the event was resumed with a prayer reading to ask for protection and smoothness in every event that will be held.
After that, the event began to enter the core stage, namely the introduction of the names of students from each selected contestant. The race event begins with the race participants' sequence numbers in a red-and-white colored box that will determine who will stand first in front of the jury.
In separate places, several competitions are also held outdoors with each judge competent in their field.
" Binar Kinasih Ahmad, a representative of SMAN 1 CEMPAKA was invited to take place."
Binar was a little jumped by the call on behalf of himself which was called after a representative student from another school had first taken the sequence number.
Binar then stood up, stepping towards the red and white box that was in the middle of the room. He then took one of the folds of golden colored paper in the box and showed it in front of all the judges who were glaring fixed at him.
" What number did you get, Miss? (What number do you have, miss?)" ask a jury when he saw Binar showing the folds of paper he had opened.
" I got first, Mr,"(me first, sir )
reply Binar.
" Good luck!" The jury then smiled and invited Binar to return to the participant seat.
It turned out that Binar got the first order in delivering his English speech that day. Honestly, he was very nervous. Moreover, Alden once said that the first order in the race will be the center of everyone's attention.
Ah, suddenly Binar became cold hot. He stared one by one the participants who began to sit back after taking the number sequence. He was counting his own heart rate. Absolutely unexpected with the number one number that was in his hand.
As a special guest, Alden and the Mother and the company officials got a special place that is sitting on the sofa that is in a higher position than the surrounding place until the reach of her eyes can see clearly every participant who has been join the race today. But whatever the number of participants, Alden did not care at all, all in his eyes was the figure of a High School Student with neatly decomposed hair who was in the middle of********** his own fingers.
" Don't be nervous, you can!" lirih Alden's. However, the Mother still heard her voice and only responded with a smile.
Shortly after taking the participants' sequence numbers, the race was immediately started and that meant the moments everyone was waiting for would soon arrive.
" The participants of the first English-language speech competition, on behalf of Binar Kinasih Ahmad representatives from SMAN I CEMPAKA are expected to stand on the podium that has been prepared!"
Claps filled the entire room, including Arumi who was watching the show excitedly and enthusiastically.
Binar took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a moment, said a prayer and asked for blessing to the Mother who was now at home.
The student stood up from his chair, holding his palms together on his chest as a gesture of gratitude for every spirit his friends had given him, especially to him. Binar then stepped up, spread as many smiles as he had to cover his heartbeat that began to fight.
Not as fast as he had stepped, all he knew was that he was standing behind the podium with bright shining lights illuminating half of his body. He looked through the room, staring at each of the faces that began to look at him.
" Han sir, why am I feeling so cold?" Alden then stretched the buttons of his shirt while looking at Secretary Han who was smiling.
" Do you have any drinks?" ask Alden again. He did not realize that since then there have been several bottles of mineral water presented on the table.
The Secretary grabbed a bottle and opened it to the figure.
" Drink and enjoy the lomba," The Secretary wrote later. Alden seemed awkward with the current situation.
Binar began his speech,
" Peace be upon you, and God mercy and blessings.
Ladies and gentlemen, ladies,
Good morning, on this happy occasion, I want to deliver a speech about education.
As we know, education plays an important role for the progress of a nation ...,
If the education of the people is left behind, then the population will experience difficulties in adapting and facing pressure from the outside world ...."
Alden gulped down a bottle of mineral water that his secretary thrust especially when he heard the sound of Binar began to echo throughout the room. He could not even look at the figure who was making a speech in front of him.
"Mr. .., relax. Why is it that the Master is nervous?" The secretary smiled again as she chewed the gum she had just pulled out of her pocket.
" Shut up!" Getting the words of his secretary, making Alden's feelings more uncertain. He slowly raised his face, ventured to look at Binar who was still standing behind his podium complete with a speech that still continues.
" Spirit!" said Alden who immediately made the Mother look at him.
" You're a warning, baby," Andine took a tissue and rubbed her son's temple. Alden suddenly felt very embarrassed before the figure of the woman who had given birth to him.
" The participant who represents the school is very beautiful and also talented," praised Bu Andine, staring at the look on his son's face that seemed to be all wrong.
"Allow Alden?" The mother asked for an opinion while Alden looked wrong and began to move his shoes, suddenly feeling cramped.
" Mister ...," said the Secretary suddenly.
" Otherwise, Mr. Han. Please don't joke in this situation!" Alden was grumbling.
" Mister ...,"
" Other than ?" Alden looked upset.
" Mister .., stepping on my shoes" the Secretary said, pointing to Alden's shoes, which were directly above his.
" Ais ..., Jeez! why not tell me from earlier!"
