Tuti Lazy School
39. Independence Day

In the morning I woke up. And I see that date on red or on holiday/leave. Precisely on the date 17-08-2017, clearly displayed on my home calendar. I went out to enjoy the dew and coolness that morning. And then enter immediately make a cup of warm tea and breakfast with fatty rice that Mamak bought just this morning. I eat and I enjoy watching my favorite children's TV shows. Suddenly the show was changed to like a line-up.

"Mommy, you know? How is everything the same, mak?" I changed the TV channel from the remote I held in my left hand.

Mamak understood my ignorance "Yes the name of our Independence Day, yes clearly displayed people who line-up."

I'm a little upset "Huh! So because of this I can't watch TV my favorite cartoon show." I turned and left.

Mamak approached me "Kalo ga because the fighters of the Indonesian Nation, who insist on expelling the Dutch and Japanese from our country, We will not be able to live prosperous as today Tuti. So turn around and you watch it." Assertive Mamak, forcing me to watch the Independence Day Commemoration Ceremony.

I also agree even if I am reluctant. Than Mamak was angry because I didn't follow his will. I better watch and see. But over time it caught my attention. From the Advocate Leader, their exercises that seem firm and swift, their love and concern for the homeland, the raising of the Red and White Sang accompanied by the accompaniment of instruments, the reading of the Pancasila script & the 1945 UUD manuscript, also so. It amazes me and I wish I could be like him.

Mamak disbanded my delusion "Hey. watch out, slide around his legs Mamak wants to nyapu." While Mamak thrust a broom towards my feet. "Oh yes later you are Ti who mopped, Mamak want to cook again because."

I nodded "Yes mak."

I was still watching and I continued mopping me while my eyes were fixed on the TV

My mom checked me out to check I was ready or not and it turned out.. "Tuti, get your work ready and you'll see it again." My mother was a little angry and told me to speed up my work.

"Yes Mak!" I panicked and rushed.

I finished it by checking my phone and passing some chat from my friends.

*We ended the conversation*

...

We also met at an appointment. But this time I was a little late. Because I had something that Mamak just told me. Then I went rushing to catch up with me

"Tumben cepet Ti?

Where the hell is it?" Ningsih was a little upset, her legs were stomping slowly.

"Yes Ti, very confident we're waiting for you." Isa brushed my arm.

"I'm sorry I was told by my mom. Yaudah yuk, we want to register first so we can play." I pulled both of their wrists.

"Okay, it hurts Ti.." Isa pulled his arm back.

"Yes-yes we went with him." Ningsih stroked his wrist.

"Ehe, let's get there soon." Plain smile.

There we saw there were participants besides us who signed up and then there was a brother named sister Nina. Ningsih looked into his eyes and pointed at us

"Sister Nina!" Ningsih said to Kak Nina "Please, brother, input me, Isa, Sama Tuti."

Sister Nina recorded our names on the little memo paper "Yes, wait there. In the waiting room there. What game information is limited to 2 games only. Which already 2 games can not join other games. Based on the game you want to play." Sister Nina hinted at her 2 fingers and gave the conditions in the game.

We turned and waited in the waiting room with a blue tarp. There I did not see Yanti's nose at a glance

"Where is Yanti?" I swigged left right.

"He ain't coming." Ningsih.

"Yes because he was lazy to come out. Afraid of the skin burning, it'll burn." Ningsih explained while eating ice cream.

"Buy where else you'll get ice cream, I want to." Isa kepingin while tasting his tongue because of the appetite to see Ningsih.

"That's." Ningsih pointed towards the left east.

"Oh, Isa, you bought me!" I took two thousand dollars out of my pocket.

He took my money, "Yes, how much?" Isa was stunned for a moment.

I hinted at my two fingers "That's two thousand, but put on some bread! Usually two thousand."

Nodding in agreement "Jaudah brags." He went to buy.

The game also wants to take place. I saw Kak Nina taking turns asking what game the other participants wanted to play. I waited for Isa who never came. When it was taken by me

"Tuti, what race do you want?" While he held a note and pen in both of his hands.

"Hm.. Cracker feeding competition same sack racing aja kak." I pointed to some of the race displays that were presented in the waiting room.

"Ohh okay, just Isa?.." Nina looked back.

"Ehh Isa brother! Isa!" The breath of Jesus called his name.

"Where were you Sa, long time ago. Good thing it wasn't taken out." I laughed with Sister Nina as well as Ningsih.

"Yes, buy some ice cream just like shit." Ningsih laughed at Isa.

"Ihh rame earlier, I was just squealing maksa same om-om who sells ice cream." Isa was upset and his heart was racing because of the running earlier.

"Yaudah quickly chose the option." I thrust the race view provided.

"I made the same as Tuti's sister." Isa and Ningsih don't want to play any different games with me.

"Oh okay, easy." Brother Nina is rotating the other participants.

...

The race also started from several races Isa and Ningsih in the beginning. And then after me. I saw their silly behavior and cuteness. I laughed so hard I was spinning too. The Ningsih Cracker Eating Competition, the crackers fell. Isa Race Sack yes sack that is loose. At that time I was very happy. And it did not feel intermittent, now I am the one who was called along with other participants.

"Ti's cracker feeding spirit!" Isa encouraged as he shouted in the distance, waving his hand.

"Yes!"

The race began. It's very hard for me to put crackers hanging on those raffia ropes. I tried to eat but lost fast, champion one, two, or three I couldn't get. Isa looks sour on his face

"Well, how about Ti, losing time. How did you eat it? But we're funny seeing you eat like people don't eat three days." Isa laughed out loud with Ningsih.

"You are the same." I flipped over Isa's words. And we laugh at ourselves.

The game went on and didn't feel like it was over. Announcement of the race champions. I can win in the 3 Sack Race championship. Isa won the Cracker Dinner Competition in champion 1 and Sack Race 3. Ningsih got the Cracker Eating Competition in the 2nd champion.

Very lucky Isa anyway. But I ignored it and we came home happy to bring our gifts with joy.
