After Dark's
Celebrate After the Exam
For three days I rested at home, doing absolutely nothing. Every afternoon Bara always came to see me with Nano and Bintang.
They are currently very familiar with Ms. Tina and Mr. Koko.
Bara always left her notes for me to re-copy. My test scores always compete with Bara. I keep trying to win first place. But, Bara is too genius. I only managed to occupy the first position once in the second semester of class X, even then I managed to occupy it because during the Bara exam got the flu. So, he did not answer the exam sheet seriously.
"Lulu, shall we pick you up tomorrow?" ask the stars
"No Bin, I've been taking care of you all this time" I said
"Gakkksszx (chokes) completely Lu" Nano said as she swallowed the food she chewed.
"Let's not say it yet, disgust you" The star hit Nano's head
The two of them back to fight, Nano sprained because the Star always hit his head.
Ms. Tina reconciled them with fried food. Nano liked all the fritters Tina made.
"Mom (chewing) I want to not make it again for me to take home" Nano said
"So much less?" ask Tina
"Don't listen to mom, my son this one is greedy" ketus Bintang
Mom Tina laughed
"Who's your son" shouted Nano
"There's all you do" Tina's laughter.
They were almost so every sore. Seeing Nano and Bintang made us laugh. This afternoon Bara could not come to visit me, he said Bara had family business. So, Bara had Nano and Bintang come to give her a note. Tomorrow morning the exam will begin. Bara also wrote down some test grilles that will come out later.
"Lulu if so we say yes first" said Bintang
"the next time we come here again, son" said Tina
The smiling star then walked towards the car, while Nano was still busy wrapping up all the fritters.
The star glanced towards Nano, throwing the hat he was wearing towards Nano.
Bukkkk
The hat was right on Nano's back.
"Patience for a moment (glance Star) ma'am, there's more no?" Nano Speaks
I laughed at Nano's behavior. Among them were the three Nano who always did silly things. Finally they came home with fried seplastik.
That night I studied a copy of Bara's notes to sleep at the study table.

Monday, 07.30
The flag ceremony was abolished this Monday.
All students and students entered the exam room.
This semester exam lasts for 7 consecutive days. During the exam many students experience stress. They must try hard to maintain their position or even raise their ranking position.
Until finally the exam is over.
"Eventually this suffering is over" said one of the students
"What are we doing tonight?" Ask Masha
"Such questions need not be asked again (Nano lowered his head and stood up) the thing we should have done was to perform the celebration as usual" Nano replied aloud
The other children cheered with excitement. Every time we finish the class exam we will do a celebration, this is done as a thank you to yourself for working hard during this week.
But, every time I held a celebration I never came. My busy life after finishing the exam is still struggling with money. Sometimes I envy seeing those who can freely hang out here and there without thinking about money.
I packed up my stuff, put it in my bag, then took the phone out of my bag. I saw a notification of a missed call from my mom.
The dug dug dug dug....
My heart is beating fast.
For the first time my mother called me. Without a second thought I called my mother back.
My heart was still pounding, waiting for my mom to pick up the phone. This feeling is so happy. I want to laugh but I want to cry too.
Tutt tutt tutt
Sorry the number you are calling is busy.
My mom didn't pick up the phone from me. I tried to keep contacting my mom but still not being picked up.
"What's going on?" my question is in my heart.
I tried to send my mom a message,
After sending Mama a message, I smiled and took my eyes out the window. I was unconscious as I smiled Bara watched me from her chair.
They walk towards me,
"Why? What happy thing can make your smile this beautiful?" Ask Bara
I looked into Bara's eyes. His eyes look similar,
"Your eyes...
Bara frowned, I dare not continue my words. Although Bara and brother are very different, but the way Bara looks at me is the same as big brother looks at me.
I don't know why I want to pour all my current happy feelings into Bara. But, I realize for now I can't trust anyone but myself.
In the end I will be alone.
"Please pay attention for a moment, friends" said Tamya
"No need to talk Tamya, just stick to it" ketus Bintang
Sitya's face looks upset, though,
"The cave just wants to talk for a minute!! Make a celebration tonight, what if we're in the cave?" say Tamya
The other children agreed with Tamya's idea, they were very enthusiastic.
"In the meantime, you got no snacks at home? if you keep telling the cave bring snacks to your home.sorry, we better have a regular cafe" said Bintang
"The cave will not be messing with lu kok Bin (Tamya getting upset) you all just come, all the preparations about the snacks so that you can use the cave's private money" replied Tamya
"Okeyyy (Nano patting table) is what the cave likes. So, all the friends are tonight at 19:30 at Tamya's house. Don't forget, make you girls wear dresses yes" Nano smiled
Seeing Nano who was very excited, the Star even became not excited at all. It seems like their feelings are the opposite of each other.
"You're coming Lu?" Ask Bara
I forgot that Bara was still standing next to me,
"Can't be like it" I said
"Why? Still have to work part time?" Ask Bara
I nodded my head, though,
"Sorry Bar, I can't always attend class events" I said
"There is no need to apologize Lu, besides this event is not required to participate as well" said Bara
Next to my conversation with Bara, my phone suddenly rang. I picked up the bag and dropped out of class and received the call.
The first word I said,
How is Ma? I miss Mama...
Mama did not return my greeting, mama immediately said what she wanted to say. Then hang up the phone, at least mama can feel a little stale to ask my news.
Although this conversation is not up to 2 minutes at least I am happy to hear the voice of Mama. I rushed home boredom.

Anglora Housing, 19.30 Wib
"Where did everything get ready?" Ask Tamya
"Udah non, everything has been prepared in accordance with the wishes of non" replied bik Deli
Bik Deli is a maid who works at Tamya's house, she has worked for many years there.
The lights are installed in every corner of the room, with the starlight flashing - the flickers look very beautiful and luxurious.
One by one, friends of Tamya arrive. The guest greeted them with a sweet piece of chocolate.
"Tamya you're just giving the cave a piece of doang?" ketus Nano
Tamya smiled annoyed and then left without following Nano's words. The person that Tamya was waiting for finally came as well. Bara looks very handsome. All the girls stared at Bara without blinking.
"Gua is increasingly curious about the same bokap and nyokap Bara, his son aja this secakep. Especially her mother" Alea said
"Get all your mouth on" ketus Tamya
The other children did not dare to look at Bara again. They're afraid of being hostile to Tamya. One class even one school already knows that from the first Tamya chasing Bara. It's just that Bara is insensitive or he deliberately doesn't care about Tamya's feelings.
Celebrations began with fireworks. Very lively, it seems like the celebration this time is the most luxurious than before.
Some laughed happily while dancing, some sang with applause. Some even play ball while swimming. Everyone is happy tonight.
