Old Jacket
Chapter 9. Graduated School.

Lana is living her days the same as always. But after his trip two weeks ago, he focused more on his articles to prepare for the race while waiting for news from Nusa about his plans.

 Na ntar after school you can take Dinda with Lia to the coffee shop usually?, the same cave Apoy ntar there.   A short message from Nusa.

Lana agrees to Nusa. After returning from Lana's school, Dinda and Lia set off for the coffee shop that Nusa meant. It turned out that Nusa and Apoy had arrived first.

" Hii bang. " said Lana saying hello.

" Haii na, pesen used to drink na." said Nusa.

After ordering Lana, Dinda and Lia sat in a circle near Apoy and Nusa. Then Nusa explained if the plan proposal they had submitted to Mr. Sukirman, got approval from local residents and village devices. Lana was delighted when she heard the good news from Nusa.

"After getting approval from Citizens and village devices, the next step is to promote about the waterfall to the community either through social media or not. " Say Nusa.

They all agreed with Nusa's advice to promote to the wider community. First Lia who better understand about editing took the role to edit photos and videos that they had taken a few days ago.

It was not felt that our chatter forgot the time, it was aware of the dark day they all decided to go home to each other. 

" Dinda I want to see Bara for a minute, you want to come ?" said Lana.

" Maybe na, long time no problem hahah" said Dinda while laughing.

On the way to Dinda's house, Lana turns her motorcycle back to the hospital to visit Bara. Lana finds out the hospital's turnaround time is over but Lana confesses to Bara's family so that Lana and Dinda can enter Bara's room.

When in front of the door of the room, Lana shaped twice while saying her greetings and then stepped in. In the room there was only Bara who was watching TV, his father was having business with his work while his mother was returning home for a while. 

" Hey Bar" said Lana.

" Eh Lana equals Dinda" Bara replied.

Instantly Lana is surprised at the answer from Bara, who can speak. Lana explains that yesterday Lana, Dinda, Lia, Nusa and Apoy went to the village where the waterfall is located to propose their plan. Bara was happy to hear that his plan was not only a plan but there was an effort to realize in it.

Suddenly Mother Bara came into the room. Not wanting to linger because the afternoon had Lana and Dinda say goodbye to Bara and her Mother to go home. 

Lana and Dinda walk down the crowded city streets, with school uniforms wrapped in jackets still attached to Lana's body. Then Lana had a dialogue with herself.

" That I like you as much as I love every word in poetry. Your hug on a motorcycle is a longing that is treated. "breathing whisper Lana.

Lana and Dinda arrive at Dinda's house. After saying goodbye to Dinda, I returned home to rest.

Upon Lana's arrival at home, she walked slowly through the mother's room with the door slightly open.

In his room after cleaning himself lana put down his body and not long after he fell asleep .

Tomorrow changes, but the habit is still getting up early for school. While waiting for news from Lia about the results of image and video editing, Lana continues to work on the article that she prepared for the competition.. 

Two days have passed, the article that Lana is working on has finally been completed as well as Lia who has finished editing the photos and videos. Rushing Lana Dinda and Lia directly promote in cyberspace. 

Day after day has passed. The more days their posts reap positive questions from the community.Nusa also said that on each side of the road has been in pairs of instructions so that visitors will not get lost. Lana, Dinda and Lia were delighted with the enthusiasm of the citizens who put up the directions. Until it does not feel more and more visitors are coming. A stall on the edge of the house of a middle-aged man who once allowed Lana, Bara and Nusa to stay at his house is now a livelihood for him that is increasingly crowded visitors.

In addition to Apoy, Nusa also invited several other nature activist friends to establish adventure activities in the form of rafting. It did not take long now the waterfall has become a tourist attraction. Occasionally Lana , Bara, Dinda and Lia visit the waterfall while on vacation.

Now Bara has recovered more and more days his condition is getting better. Until not felt, the day of the announcement of the article race has arrived. But Lana was not chosen as champion at that time.

" Your struggle is great and maybe this time your work is not a champion but you have to remember your hard work has become a champion. Never stop to write "Dinda said soberly.

Lana just nods with a smile now she understands that being a champion doesn't have to be about trophies, but being a champion is a time of your hard work and your work in appreciation.

With time passing by, it doesn't feel like we're at the end of the story. This is when Lana, Bara, Dinda and Lia are declared to graduate from school.

Lana and Bara plan to work to help Nusa and Apoy to develop waterfall tourism, Dinda will continue her studies in Yogyakarta, as well as Lia will continue her studies in Surabaya City.

On the way to school for the last time, Dinda told Lana on the bike.

"If this city is going to change one day it won't change a story in it" Dinda said.

Lana just stumbled and understood what Dinda meant. 

Now that several months have passed, Dinda told Lana that another week Dinda will hold a small reunion with Bara and Lia to let go of longing.

Until the day came, Lana who still wore a jacket given by Dinda arrived in front of the gate of Dinda's house.

" Hi Dindaku" said Lana with a smile.

" Hi too Lanaku " replied Dinda with a smile.

On top of the motor Dinda hugged Lana's body from behind, just like the old school days.

Upon the arrival of Lana and Dinda in the coffee shop owned by Bara's uncle as their meeting place, not long ago Bara came to meet with Lia.

They share their stories, Lia explains that she has officially become the girlfriend of Apoy.

Dinda and Lia plan if tomorrow will visit the waterfall tour that is in the management of Lana and Bara. Lana and Bara agree to Dinda and Lia's plan.

The night is getting late, Lana Bara, Dinda and Lia decide to end their conversation and go home to each other.

Lana's at the gate.

" See you tomorrow lanaku, good night" Dinda said with a smile.

" yes my good night too" replied Lana.

Then Lana turned her motorcycle around and took it home.
