January 2011


In a few months, at the end of April 25 to 28 will be held National Examination simultaneously for students of class IX Junior High and MTs. Like other schools that add hours of learning that originally from 07.00 am to 13.30 to 16.00 pm, Junior High School 216 Jakarta has also carried out the same action since entering the beginning of the even semester school year. So that students are not too saturated with lessons, the school gives a break of one hour before the extra time of study hours begins, most of whom use it by taking a nap, hanging out in the cafeteria, and hanging out in the cafeteria, or sit back in front of class and school gardens.


Of the various options that his friends often do, Gebri prefers to serve in the UKS while reading the book Preparation for Facing National Exams and School Exams Junior High/MTs 2010-2011. While scribbling on the opaque paper to find the answer to the math problem he was training, the door suddenly opened and revealed a tall young man holding his arm. Gebri is not very familiar, just just know what else. Friends in the class often talked about the young man. Who does not know with Rion Michael Fernandez, the second son of the Fernandez family who has a business in the culinary and hospitality sector whose branches are spread throughout Indonesia, and also one of the families who often donate the largest funds for various events held in schools.


“Lo guarding? Can I heal my wounds?” rion said as he stepped closer to the mattress and sat there, then his eagle eyes looked at Gebri with a sharp look that seemed to whisper.


Gebri's head nodded briefly before taking the tools and medicines needed in the glass cabinet, then immediately approached the figure that did not show the slightest hint of pain, he said, though in some parts of the legs and arms appear blisters and some are still bleeding.


The atmosphere in the space measuring 8 m x 7 m was silent. Gebri appeared to be seriously treating wounds on Rion's right elbow and knee, while the 15-year-old watched Gebri closely. The eagle eyes of Rion bak scanned the appearance of the thick-browed and thin-lipped girl in front of him.


“Cantics.” That word just came out of Rion's mouth.


“What?” gebri asked, looking at the man in front of him.


“Not nothing,” replied Rion by turning her head to the left, suddenly becoming misbehaved with the innocent look the girl gave her.


“It's done.” Gebri immediately arranged all the equipment he used, then moved to the glass cabinet, put it to its original place and then again sat in the corner of the room above his desk open the UN preparation book earlier.


“Gue wants to go back to class. Thank you for your help,” said Rion on the doorstep before disappearing from Gebri's sight.


And from that day on, the day where for the first time they talked to each other despite just a short conversation, Gebri and Rion unknowingly formed an interaction with each other, starting with nodding each other's heads as a form of greeting when meeting in the classroom corridor, also once glanced at each other when being gathered with their respective friends, each of them, and some other activities that show that their hearts are beginning to be attracted to each other. Gebri and Rion really enjoyed the little things they did back then, the features of ABG being in love.

What song is popular right now? Some people might answer the song If I were Gaius Tambunan that tells the story of the life of someone who had nothing so tortured while in prison, while corruptors who are imprisoned like Gaius Tambunan can do anything to be free to go in and out of prison and abroad. The song was very popular at the beginning of 2011. Every microlet such as M30A microlet that was being boarded by Gebri who was going to go to Kelapa Gading Mall also kicked it.


Kelapa Gading Mall is one of the largest shopping centers in Jakarta and Gebri intends to go to MKG 1 area which has a Gramedia bookstore. He needs a little refreshing considering he is always faced with a collection of UN questions and the End of School Trials, and buying a new novel is one solution. Weekends like this, the hallways of the building are already filled with visitors. Some are with family, friends, or a pair of lovers who join hands. Not many go alone. Can be counted with fingers and most men.


Actually, Rasti and Galang also want to come to this Mall, just take a walk and look around, but the middle-aged woman suddenly got a call from one of her high school friends who wanted to meet and because they had not seen each other for a long time, finally Rasti agreed and let Gebri go alone to the North Jakarta area.


Gebri skimmed the special shelves of the latest teenlit novels, occasionally taking a novel that was considered interesting and reading the outline of the story behind the cover. Four synopses of the novel have been read, but no one has touched the heart to buy.


“What are you looking for?”


The book that Gebri was holding almost fell down. The sudden sound in his ears slightly made Gebri aghast.


“Sorry. You must be surprised, huh?!”


“Ehm... Y-yeah,” said Gebri who stuttered a little. It was never expected that he would meet this descendant of Fernandez other than at school.


“Search what?” rework Rion again.


“Novel.”


“Oh..,” says Rion. “That's what's the title?”


“Bali to Remember,” Gebri replied while showing the dominant book cover in faded yellow. “Lo itself what are you doing here?”


“If I use the Preparation book for Facing National Exams and Junior High School Exams/MTs 2010-2011 made by the M2S.” team


“Lo buy here too?” rion asked again and Gebri replied with a nod of his head. “Lo know the shelf? Can you show me?” once again Rion asked.


“Can,” nod Gebri by stepping into the left corner of the room which is a special book area for schoolchildren. “This is his book,” sodornya by giving a book that is not plastic.


Rion browsed through a few pages for a while, then swapped the book for one that was still covered in plastic. “OK. I'll just take this. And you're still long here?”


“Ya,” nod Gebri. “Gue still haven't found a good novel.”


“Lo no more events finished this?”


“No.”


“Ke Pizza Hut yuk! I treat, just think of it as a thank you for treating my wounds yesterday-yesterday.”


Gebri quickly shook his head. “No need. My job is as an officer of UKS.”


“If I force, how?”


“Tapi—”


“Yuk back to that shelf earlier. We look for lo books,” exclaimed Rion who moved to the middle of the room, where the best seller books and the latest teenlit novels lay neatly. Several beautiful virgins and a man seemed to be standing around.


Rion seemed to take a few novels, skim the synopsis behind the cover and put it back. Seems uninterested. While Gebri several times seen circulating his views. Uneasily. Fearful. Rion has a lot of fans and when one of them sees himself and Rion who looks like a–, the term today calls it a– date or dating like this, it will lead to unsubstantiated speculations. And finally Gebri decided to take two books telling the story of high school children, then take Rion to the cashier.


Before they stepped into the location of Pizza Hut which is on the ground floor MKG 1, Gebri once again expressed his reluctance. But it was responded with a sharp gaze, immediately making Gebri's heart slightly shriveled and finally they were now sitting face to face while waiting for their order.


“Lo alone to here?”


“Actually my mother and sister want to come along. But they suddenly had business. Lo?” gebri replied before turning his face left and right again, still agitated and afraid.


“Gue with aba—”


Rion had not yet finished the sentence, a clap on his shoulders forcing him to turn his head. A man of very similar stature to him was directly sitting right next to him. Without further ado looked at Gebri who was beginning to feel uneasy.


“Lo girl, Yon?”


“B-Not Kak.” Not getting a word from the man before him, just a snort, Gebri was forced to make a sound.


“Totally?” exclaimed the man with cheeks and eyes similar to that of Rion, feeling unsure considering that his younger brother very rarely menggubris women who try to approach him.


“True Kak,” replied Gebri firmly accompanied by a nod of the head.


“Oh yes, I almost forgot. Introduce me Riyan, my only brother,” said Riyan by extending a hand. “Kalo lo do not want to be the same this brute, mendingan lo same I just. I am handsome and you are beautiful. We must be suitable if we are a couple,” he continued again while smirking seductively.
