Keep Silent And You Got It
Part 15 - The Clouds That Miss the Sun

Game Center

 2 Days ago was the most embarrassing thing in my life, a Rama Alfarizi fainted during sports hours. But because of that fainting I got closer to Gita, until yesterday Gita started chatting with me. It was a joy unto me, and he watched me more and more wherever he saw me. My friends and I want to go to the Game Center we talked about.

 The day I was waiting for arrived, I prepared my money and my jacket. Then I came down for breakfast, mom had prepared the food earlier. Down as usual is already on the sofa, this time he is very focused on the news on television. On television broadcast news about the artist who was caught for using illegal drugs.

"Hush, I don't think this guy's using drugs.."

"Who's dad?"

"This is the main character in the sky-blue movie."

"Oh the Aditya, waduh pity though in one of his films is very good what is it well that he became hit by a car?"

"Film 2000 Light Years is not a heck, Dad also forgot ..."

"Thousand Light dear, if 2000 Light Years is the title of the song."

"Oh yes I remember, thank you my dear..."

"Well, you two eat, Rama, you're going to Game Center today, right?"

"Yes mom..."

"Bareng temen you?"

"Yes later Rama samper."

 After eating, I said goodbye to my parents and then I turned on my motorbike to go to Ghiffar's house. On the road to Ghiffar's house I came across a cat that was hit, I couldn't bear to see the cat in the middle of the road. I stopped my bike on the side of the road, and then I stopped the vehicle for a while to pick up the poor cat.

"Witch this cat, I'll bury it."

 After that I decided to bury this cat under a tree near the tire patch. I dug up the ground that I was going to bury this cat, and then I buried the cat here. I continued my journey to Ghiffar's House. Arriving at Ghiffar's house, I called Ghiffar from the front of his house when I called not Ghiffar out of his house, but his Mother.

"Ghiffar maen yokk...!!!"

"Eh there's Raji, come in son."

"Sorry ma'am, is Ghiffar here?"

"Ghiffar's? sorry son Raji Ghiffarnya hot again, just before dawn he was sorry..."

"Wow, may the spit be healed, ma'am the Ghiffarnya."

"Yes Raji's son."

"Mom, I'm sorry Raji can wash his hands?"

"Emang why?"

"So I was burying a cat..."

"Well, you can open the faucet and you want to go in again."

"Thank you, ma'am."

(Author: "Why did Ghiffar's mother also call Rama Raji? Because Rama ama Ghiffar has known him for a long time, even until their parents know each other.")

 Since Ghiffar was sick, I decided to go straight to the Game Center. I thought that Bambang, Ikhsan, and Riyan had already arrived there and were waiting for me. The streets are crowded with public transportation, it is very annoying. Sometimes it makes me upset, because public transportation often stops on the slow left lane when picking up/down passengers.

 I'm in the middle of a traffic jam on a sunny Sunday morning, like a normal Sunday morning mothers go to the market to buy vegetables and there are arrogant riders who do not know the rules that usually only get angry at other riders who are actually wrong. My country is funny, sometimes driving doesn't know the rules.

 After going through a very annoying traffic jam, I finally reached the Game Center. I go inside, once inside I have to pay for a parking ticket for 4k. After I parked my bike, I entered the Game Center. There's no sign of my friend here, maybe today I enjoy myself in this Game Center.

It's cold in here, air conditioning is everywhere. I fell silent confused as to how, seeing the sign of the playing area. After that passed by a female Game Center employee, I quickly asked her to ask her where to play.

"Excuse me, brother..."

"Yes, can anyone help?"

"Where is the playground?"

"New brother is here? yaudah brother just follow this aisle later brother make cards to play."

"Thank you, brother..."

After asking, I went straight to what the big brother said. It was embarrassing when I entered a new place. The hallway's getting dark, but I'm still in it. At the end of the hall, I was very surprised by arcade/Dingdong machines everywhere and then there was an employee who welcomed me.

"Welcome, brother, new player, huh?"

"It just so happens to be new."

"Please if you want to play you have to make cards first."

"How many cards?"

"15 one card. add the balance to 25 yes..."

"Good..."

"The card's been made, so please have fun."

 Once I've found the playing cards, I'd like to try one of the fighting games. At that time I saw a girl who is very good at playing fighting games that are next to me, I saw the control of the game is very simple but complicated. Without further ado, I played this game. Since I saw an example of this girl's game, I started to understand how to play this game.

20 Minutes later...

 20 Minutes have passed, I'm so addicted to playing this game. I have now reached stage 10 where my opponent is getting more difficult. Button by button I've pressed, combo by combo I put out to beat stage 10. Without further ado I lost against this stage 10 enemy, very disappointing. Unknowingly behind me was the girl and the people who saw my game.

"You're cool enough to get to stage 10..." Said a boy.

"Eh cool, is it difficult to make it to stage 10...?"

"It's not just cool anymore it's rich pro player."

"Yes, you're really good I just got stage 6..." Said the girl next to me.

"How come it was just lucky that I was..."

"Can you teach me?"

"Eh teach you?"

"Will you?"

"By the way I am, I'm sort of a coach..."

"OK..."

20 Minutes later...

 This girl is indeed quick to learn yes, she has now reached stage 10 just like me. This stage 10 opponent has fire power that can come out of the ground, that is what made me lose earlier. But this time, stage 10 was finally finished by this girl. This girl is thanking me, and I feel bad for having too much flattery for today...
