GROWINGS
28

Until seven o'clock past fifteen, Dafa was still not visible. Inu himself became anxious to think about it, because since last night he had been alone and did not give any news to him. Even when Inu contacted Mbok Parni, Mbok Parni himself did not know where his employer's son was going.

"Right now all we believe in is Dafa, but if he doesn't come, what should we do?!!" Eka panic is incredible.

'TO ALL PARTICIPANTS WHO HAVE RE-REGISTERED AND GOT THE PARTICIPANT NUMBER, ARE EXPECTED TO ENTER THE RACE ARENA..!'

While the sound of announcements from the race committee had echoed many times, and some participants had started to walk regularly into the side door of the stadium, which was the side door, all students of SMK Ellite Rovario who attended this morning are still silent in his position and of course in a state of panic and anxiety.

"If Dafa doesn't exist, we don't go!" Tita Teguh.

"Kids, when we've come all the way here, should we go back?"

"But Fatma, we can't do anything without Dafa!!" He began to not be able to control his emotions.

In addition to the Dafa that is still not visible, another thing that makes SMK Ellite Rovario students uncomfortable is the cynical, strange, demeaning, and insulting views of other school students.

"BUDDY..!!"

They're all stunned. They clearly knew that voice. Just why can't they see the shape of the owner?

"Oh-oh, excuse me. I'm going through..."

Finally what was waiting arrived. But they noticed something strange about Dafa's appearance that morning.

With a gasp of breath, Dafa looked at the faces of his friends and the four teachers who were taking part that morning. His smile expanded widely, although sweat flooded all over his body.

"Whoa, your clothes..."

Dafa asked Tita for a moment to drink. He explained it later.

"From now on, this is our new school chef uniform.."

"HAHAHH..?!!"

Obviously the chef's uniform really looks very different, from the uniforms of other school chefs. The color is not white. Instead of a soft beige, with the embroidery of their respective names on the top of their pockets, and there is also the name of their school on the other side.

"Now you're changing your clothes quickly.."

"But, Dafa.." Tita seemed to doubt.

"You can change clothes in my car. But hurry up! We don't have much time..!"

The four girls immediately boarded the Dafa car, with Mbok Parni who apparently participated that morning.

As for his male friends, they immediately changed clothes on the spot. Because each of them, already wearing plain white daleman shirts.

"Kerenn..!!" Dafa exclaimed hysterically as all of his friends regrouped and changed with a fresh new appearance.

"Kids, you guys look so amazing..." Praise Bu Nuriyanti, with a feeling of haru mixed with amazement.

Next, Dafa handed out a light blue hat with the words SMK Ellite Rovario to some of his friends who helped deliver and also his teachers.

"I also have the same banner as our school flag. Anyway later Mr. Inu, Ms. Nuriyanti, Ms. Fatma, same Bu Fauziah should be the spirit yes!!"

"You made all this, Dafa?" Ask Ms. Fatma amazed.

"Pak Popo and Mbok Parni are also in the spirit!! Okay...!?"

"Okay, Den Dafa..."

"Friends, now we go in and we face them all..!!"

"Becch..."

All attention was immediately focused on Dafa and his eight friends who had just passed through the special entrance of the participant.

Some participants from other schools, found that Eka and her friends looked lethargic and very unconfident. And again, they had not seen the figure of the pale-white boy with thick brown hair and his pair of clear blue eyes.

Dafa waved his hand at the visitors, the jury, special invited guests, and also the reporters who were ready with their professional cameras.

Stevie Wallerima himself was not surprised by the changes made by Dafa and his friends.

"So he, that boy?" A woman who was not too old, casually asked while tapping her fingers. "Can we start now?"

"I'm not sure if Kinno can handle it.." Anthony said slowly. Attracting the attention of two men who sat flanking him to comment responded.

"I haven't seen him do anything. But from your statement and Stevie's mother's, it looks like that boy is indeed a very dangerous threat to Kinno.." Urai Vallentino's.

Anthony looked at his partner. "Not just Kinno. But Mr. Martin Luther too.."

"Is that really her?" Tuke Tomo. A Japanese man, who often goes back and forth between Bali and Japan, just to take care of his resort and restaurant business.

Meanwhile, from one corner of the audience seat, Anggita Suryatama and her small family still threw their eyes in various directions.

To find out where the boy named Dafa really is.

"Ardiansyah, what if we can find him?"

Ardiansyah could not answer her mother's questions. Actually, he still does not fully believe Rafa's words. Because he knew very well how his ex-wife behaved. Obviously it will not be possible, releasing Dafa alone especially in the crowd like today.

"Tests-yes-yes--- hello, my name is Dafa. And these are all my friends."

The sky seemed to hear their prayers. Because surprisingly, the big screen there now displays the figure of a boy with a pair of clear blue eyes.

Then not for a few seconds, the figure had disappeared again from the big screen. Replaced with the two briefing committees, followed by the sound of a gun explosion indicating that the annual national cooking competition had begun...

"You saw it, Ardiansyah..."

Ardiansyah's face turned deathly pale. Although it was only a glimpse of him, the boy's face seemed to have been firmly planted in his memory realm.

Rafa took out his little binoculars. Then his smile expands.

"Dafa is stupid and poor -- I doubt whether you can still remember me or not..."
