Devan fell silent and sniffed at the smell of scorch. Devan was wide-eyed now he remembered the rice he was cooking.
"Nasi, Ci," Devan said and ran into the kitchen.
When Devan turned off the stove quickly. Devan took a deep breath staring at the now blackened pot.
"Well, is Devan charred?" said Cia who is now beside Devan.
"Gue forgot."
Cia opening the cover of the pot produces a charred smell that spreads throughout the room of the house. Cia was silent staring at the edge of the white rice which was now brown. Just this time Cia saw rice this hot.
Devan put the charred rice on Cia's white plate with fried eggs with a bland taste, no salt there.
Cia biting her lips it was not sure about Devan's cooking that made her want to cry. How can Cia eat charred food like this.
"Waaaah brown rice," sneered Cia while lifting the white plate as if showing Devan if the rice was completely charred.
Devan, who was opening his mouth intending to put a mouthful of rice into his mouth, came to a halt when the mockery was heard.
"Don't enjoy it!"
"Ahh, when did Mama get well?" cia asked as she stirred the half-scorched rice.
Devan did not respond to Cia's remarks. Devoutly eat the charred food as if to show if the cuisine is not as bad as what Cia thinks.
Cia turned her lips and fed her mouth with Devan's cooking. Cia furrowed her brows as the rice she ate was charred.
"Emmm the charred feeling," said Cia to leave her tone so that Devan could hear, however, Devan just fell silent and continued to eat the food greedily.
She pouted again. Perhaps, God gives us tiredness today but, either tomorrow may be a happier day. Well, I hope Cia hopes so.

The sound of birds singing seemed to welcome the timid sun to its light this morning.
The sound of a bell ringing indicates the ceremony on Monday will begin soon. All students and students of Garuda Bangsa High School rushed out of class to the ceremonial field.
"Heh out you!"
"Dam!!! You, too, are you dating at school?"
"Heh, that's your shirt!"
"Where's your hat?"
"Where are you tie?"
"Sana out!"
The voice of Mr. Yanto shouts away one by one the students and students who are still in the classroom. Mr. Yanto continued to walk through the classrooms to make sure that everyone participated in the ceremony today.
In the right hand of Mr. Yanto there is a medium-sized iron scissors that he always uses to cut the hair of long students.
The neat rows of Garuda Bangsa students and students seem neatly arranged according to their respective classes. Today, the IPS class is on duty to fly the red and white flag on Monday. All dozens of teachers seemed to be lined up neatly while staring at the neat rows of students and students who seemed ready to carry out the ceremony.
Some of the students and students seem to stand with their respective assignments. There are those in charge of reciting prayers, UUDs and the arrangement of the ceremony. The band of musicians seems ready with musical instruments such as pianica, small drums and several other musical instruments that will later accompany the raising of the red and white flag.
The atmosphere was still boisterous of students and students who seemed to wait for the ceremony to begin. Some whispered to each other, some seemed to squat in the row at the very least avoiding the exposure of the sun is still warm and there are still many activities carried out by students and students.
Andi and Hardcore, well, who else if not them. They are one of the Garuda National High School trash who always fill the list of books in the BK room. Today they were caught climbing the school wall.
"Here you stand!" Firmly Pak Yanto took off his grip from the collar of his second shirt.
Andi scratched her hair as if embarrassed as thousands of students and schoolgirls stared at her. While Tegar now tidied up his tangled uniform while bowing his gaze avoiding the sharp gaze of Mr. Yanto.
"This is your long hair for mercy" said Mr. Yanto as he touched Andi's hair with his index finger tips.
"You want to be your girl?"
"No, sir," he answered.
"Much of your talk." Look at Pak Yanto sharply while grabbing Andi's hair which does look a bit long and this violates the rules of school order. With ferocious sir Yanto cut Andi's hair viciously produce uneven cuts there.
Several lumps of Andi's hair fell on the ground when Mr. Yanto cut them. Andi just fell silent to let his hair was grabbed and cut by Mr. Yanto.
Rigid laughs grimly while sucking his saliva that almost fell not strong hold back the laughter saw Andi who was so very resigned.
"Who? Why are you laughing?"
"Your hair, will I cut it too?"
Tegar shook his head quickly then stopped his laughter when Pak Yanto pointed at him viciously.
"Huh, crazy are you laughing to yourself?"
Tegar returned to shakes. It feels like Andi's stupid face that resigned in his hair in the crest and cut it as if shadowing it.
"This is your hair why is this red?" Jambak Pak Yanto again cruelly.
"Why is this?"
"I'm blonde, sir." A small voice sounded.
"Cuih, your handsome ass." Look at Mr. Yanto cynically.
Andi folded her lips inwardly trying to hold back her laughter while glancing at her best friend.
"Close!" Appoint Pak Yanto.
"Don't, Sir!"
"Eh no bowing?!!!" Pak Yanto's tone of voice rose and then pushed his head slowly Hardcore forward and then cut his blonde hair.
"Cut your hair tomorrow! You too!" mr. Yanto said after cutting the two students' hair.
"Yes, sir." Andi and Tegar nodded in agreement before Mr. Yanto rambled back.
The loud voice of the ceremonial leader reported to the ceremonial builder if the ceremony was ready to begin. The atmosphere was silent no more whispering from students and students when the ceremony had begun.
Pak Yanto stepped down the students and students who seemed silent when Pak Yanto passed by. Mr. Yanto still holds a grudge against the man who threw his bald head at Loli's birthday party last night.
Elsewhere Fika fell silent while glancing at Adelio who was now beside her. Adelio turns out to be so tall that Fika's body only reaches below Adelio's keteak.
Fika was still thinking about the words that were thrown from Adelio's mouth if they were really dating but was it serious? Is that speech true? This makes him very ambiguous.
