A Story Of LIA
SIXTEEN
..."It's just that you have the right to love anyone, but you don't have the right to force people to love you"...
The second day of Student Creativity Week, is almost the same as the previous schedule. The second day is still a lot of sports and art competitions. But the team sports competition has reached the semifinals on average and the art competition is only a painting, singing and calligraphy competition.
For this morning there was a men's single badminton race, chess, singing, English speech, and calligraphy. Class X-6 sent Lia in speech, baby in badminton, Anwar in calligraphy, chess will be played by Gita, and singing will be performed by Ratna.
Retno, Agung and Harry are now in their usual place of assembly, in the House of Representatives. Lia forbade the three of them to look at him out of embarrassment and would probably make him unfocused in the race.
Actually they can see Ratna or other friends but, from this House of Representatives we can hear the singing voice of participants, for other races need high concentration.
Practically live badminton, which if imagined to see the baby, appears it feels lazy. And more comfortable sitting in this DPR. In addition, the three of them can tell more things, including the story of Agung during in Quebec his eyes were so enthusiastic about telling his experience abroad at that time.
“Gung, Let's see Lia. “ Said Harry.
“Haa ?, Isn't Lia banning ?” retno Reply.
“Iya Ri ? not banned ?” ask the Great Back.
“Yes, don't look around, don't papa, we look from afar and just hide “ Harry replied.
“Here we only hear the sound of songs that are less wearing this “.
“Udah ayokkk” forced Harry while pulling the Great, which made Retno inevitably follow them.
The room used for the speech competition is a board meeting room on the 2nd floor with three main tables containing a jury and one mic in front of the jury. There are 18 seats where the bench is divided into two sides. Where each side there are 3 shaf and 3 rows.
Lucky for them because it's not Lia's turn.
“Aprilia Navilia, Grade Ten Six, with a speech titled How to be a Great Leader” call the committee a sign that it is in turn.
In front of him there are 3 judges who are ready to pounce on him, there is also a Rita ma'am on the left side which means he is the jury of this race.
“As I recall, the title Lia is not that??” retno said while remembering.
“I've heard, not that time he talked about Technology ?” Reply Supreme.
“Haaaa, Iyaaa” Retno replied, looking at Harry who was now just smiling looking at Lia.
“Why are you smiling Ri ?” ask Retno.
“You're right, Lia changing the topic means, hahahahha” replied Harry.
“Lah ??, so when did he replace it Ri ?” Ask Retno back
“Feelingku said, when he saw bu Rita turned out to be juri” answered.
“It's not getting harder Ri ?”ask Great.
“replacing the topic of the speech on the day of the race is indeed very fatal, but you know what Lia is talking about at this time ?” ask Harry who was returned by the two friends.
“That, the topic of discussion that we often discuss when translating the assigned book bu Rita,” replied Harry smiled.
“I'm sure he wants to show bu Rita that he has completed the translation faster and has mastered the contents of the book”.
“But, speech is not that easy, isn't it ?” Ask the Great Back.
“True, we just trust Lia, right Re ? “ ask Harry to Retno.
“ssssttttttt, I'm focused, it's hard to hear from here, and he uses English” Retno replied.
“Quiet Reee...” Reply Great.
“Ni, the boy who will translate for us.” He hugged Harry.
Seven minutes of time it took Lia to describe the contents of her head to the judges.
The seven minutes were divided over 2 minutes for opening and closing and five minutes of filling.
Based on the content translated by Harry, Agung and Retno so understand that there are 7 important pillars for an inspiring leader that is able to express positive things, Give appreciation to the team, give appreciation for the team, Have a clear vision, Always listen and give the right response, Able to communicate well, Honest and very trusted, And the latter has a strong passion.
The three of them have now reached their homebase in the House of Representatives. They immediately left the room so as not to look Lia. But Harry looked a little moody, like he had thought.
“Lu why moody Ri, what do you think ?” retno asked who saw Harry's non-existent expression when he had just seen Lia and she also forced them to look at it.
“ooohh yes, we will meet class 12 yes ?” tanyakanya.
“Iya, one of the opponents who is strong enough also” replied Harry.
Actually, it was not that that made him become moody, during the race earlier, he accidentally saw Lia with an inexplicable expression looking at Andy who also happened to be inside, he was in, smile sweetly at the man.
That's what made him wonder why he forbade him to see while Andy, he even smiled like that. This kind of thinking made him look like he was today.
“I ketoilet first ya” said Retno who replied nod by the two of them.
****
Retno who just came out of the toilet accidentally saw Lia and Andy walking together laughing and so close.
“Reeee” shouted Lia, then saw Andy and spoke a little with him, seen a nod from Andy who then Lia slightly ran towards Retno leaving Andy.
“Where to Re?“ tanyanya so arrived.
“ordinary, headquarters, yokk, there's Agung and Harry there” invited Retno, who was met with a smile and they walked back.
“Thank you Yakk ?” ask Retno.
“Tadi, bu Rita praised me, because of the speech I brought” replied Lia.
“Ohhhh, gituu” Reply Retno.
“iyaaaaa, rarely bu Rita muji like that” continued Lia back.
“Iyaa Liaaa yaaa, hahahaha” Retno reply happy to see her best friend.
But it is undeniable that there is something bad in his heart, there are those who refuse to see his best friend with the upperclassman. And hunching that the two of them are not just friends, or big sister, maybe Lia already has a boyfriend and Harry, how she feels after this.
“Eh just silent anyway, daydreaming what ?” tanya Lia who made Retno's daydreams crumpled.
“Entah yakk, suddenly thought something like that, but yaa it’s ok,” reply.
Under the tree there already looks great and Harry like discussing by crossing out the scribbles of paper that are between them.
“Ohh already back ?” ask Great.
“Old Pantes, oohh bring the princess turned out" continued Agung with a smile
“Apaan anyway Gung” reply Lia.
“Eh, I know his book” said Lia. Harry's expression began to move away.
Looking at Harry's expression that started to drift away and the confused Great, Lia immediately picked up the book and looked at the cover.
“Tuuuhhh kannnn bookuu kuuu” Lia said, heard Harry who began to laugh, and Agung who expressed like he did not know anything.
“Harryy here you” said Lia upset to see Harry scribbling his book, Harry who laughed made Lia chase after him.
“One two three try” Sounded mic turned on and sound people test mic shortly after. But Lia and Harry still haven't stopped playing chase after.
“Retno help me” pinta Lia to Retno who is currently sitting looking at the two of them running around her. and just smiling back at Lia.
“Announcement, announcement” heard this Lia stopped as well as Harry when Lia's hand had grasped Harry's shirt, precisely on his shoulder.
“Next is a meticulous smart team that made it to the final” said the mic.
“class Twelve Ipa three, second place Twelve IPS One and last to qualify for the final Ten Six”
“yeeehhhhhhhhh” shouted Lia happily while jumping jump and directly hugged Harry.
“Harry we to fallaallllll, yeeeeee” he said. But Harry just silently stared, not expecting that Lia would hug him.
A few seconds later, Lia regained her senses and took off the hug. And look at Harry who is sculpting whose expression is inexplicable. Lia was the first woman to hug her after her mother.
“yeee we managed” said Lia began to control herself, then took her book that fell and pulled Retno away from Harry.
Retno just smiled to see her best friend's face flushed red.
