Bento: The Real Bright Star
A Withered Heart

The next day at Elementary School Bilingual School...

Unlike yesterday, Aulia was seen just sitting pensively while looking at her friends who were busy rehearsing for the preparation of the encampment that was not long.

But before long he felt bored, so he decided to go to the library.

Yep...

He was indeed a very 'book lover' and thankfully it was balanced with his extremely 'crazy write' personality '.

On the other side...

The friend, Lely, was in confusion to find him.

" Uh... Do you see Aulia ? " ask this golden-voiced girl to one of her male friends.

" No, not "

" Geez, where the hell is he ? " lely said bitterly and asked the whereabouts of his best friend to everyone he met on the street.

But nil !

There is nothing in the canteen. Yes, too, his own fault. Why try...., he's looking for his best friend to the cafeteria ? Though he knew for himself that his best friend was rare.

Yep... It was true, it was already the custom of Aulia and her sister, Betrand. They prefer to give up their pocket money or save it back rather than using their money for snacks.

It's okay - what isn't it ? They also brought supplies from home.

After bathing in sweat looking for his best friend.

Shortly thereafter...

Lely saw Aulia in the front of the library who was busy struggling with the book in her hand.

" Hey... Oh my goodness Aulia ! I've been looking for you. Tau - taunya you are here " said Lely with a bent face.

Aulia raised her head and found her friend with a breath of ngosan.

" Nyariin cave to ngos - ngosan that ? Is that important ? " said Aulia with a soft tone.

" I'm serious, Ul. This is very important ! " reply Lely while adjusting his breathing.

" Oh yeah ? " typical Aulia by knitting her forehead gently - if how important the thing her friend wants to say.

" Of... Seriously, don't want to go to that camp ? " lely asked while looking at Aulia seriously.

Aulia was aghast at Lely's question so many times and seemed to be hoping he would actually join the camp.

" I don't know for sure Lel" replied Aulia with a sad and worried look.

Lely simply rubbed his face violently.

" Why is it ? " aulia continued with amazement because she saw her friend's unusual behavior.

" Hufft... So actually the participants of the race install the loading and unloading of the stretcher lack Ul. One of the participants had to leave the city because his father was very ill ", Lely explained.

Aulia just fell silent...

He thought hard and remembered his sister's words last night.

" sister... I don't want my sister to sacrifice all of my Big Brother's dreams for my happiness. I'm surprised, if you join the camp "

It seems to be true...

Betrand wanted to join the camp.

After thinking about it carefully, Aulia willingly went to the camp for the good name of the school that repeatedly became a general champion at such campsites.

" Hufft... Alright Lel, I went to the camp "replies Aulia with a smile.

" Huh ? It is so easy to melt the heart of an Aulia. O true heart - really soft ! " lely said with great joy.

" Bebay ! " livek Aulia while passing.

" Yey... So ntar back home from high school training yes Ul, just a moment. Not what - what is it ? " continue Lely while aligning his steps with Aulia.

After school....

Aulia walked quickly down the corridor towards the Betrand class. From a distance, he saw his little brother just coming out of the room.

" Sister.". "welcome Betrand and run - little run hugging her brother.

" Bethrand... " Aulia returned her sister's embrace.

" Betrand can go home by himself no...? " ask Aulia doubtfully.

Yep... Although their house was very close to school, but still he was worried about his sister.

" Go home by yourself ? Is your sister not going home yet ? " ask Betrand innocently.

" Yes... Brother wants to practice for the dream PMR camp "Aulia replied with a big smile.

" What really is Brother ? " typical Betrand enthusiastically.

" Yes." he answered.

" I can see sister Katihan, right ? Can you, brother ? " push Betrand while holding the brother's hand.

" Come, come along Brother "reply Aulia with a slow walk while holding her sister's hand.

Betrand smiled with excitement when he saw the older brother with two friends who were facing the tides of the stretcher. Then he was amazed when he saw Aulia and her team managed to finish the stretcher with 1 minute.

After repeatedly doing the attraction they were allowed to go home. With a triumphant smile, Aulia walked over to her sister who was sitting under a shady tree.

" Whoa...! Great, Brother " said Betrand

" It has to be ! To bring the good name of the school. Let's go home ! " reply Aulia with her backpack.

In-house...

" Lho Non, Den... How just got home ? " ask Bi Surti when he sees these brothers in front of the house.

" Sorry Bi... There was a PMR exercise for the camp outside the city. It was suddenly said that Bi "clearly Aulia was smiling.

" Oh that's it... "

" Yes Bi... Betrand also insisted that he did not want to go home to see me practice " continued Aulia while entering the house following Bi Surti and his sister.

" Yes... Non "typical Bi Surti.

" Oh yeah...After changing clothes, continue to eat lunch Den, Non "congratulated Bi Surti.

" Yes, thanks Bi "reply the brothers compactly.

After they had lunch...

Betrand returned to his room, while Aulia and Bi Surti were still at the dining table.

" When did the camp start Non ? " tanya Bi Surti broke the silence.

" 5 more days Bi" replied Aulia.

" Oh yes Bi... If I go to that camp, please take care of Betrand as best you can ! " tell Aulia slowly.

" Silent Non, surely I will take care of Den Betrand ! " reply Bi Surti with a big smile.

" Thank you Bi "reply Aulia accompanied by a relieved smile.

' May Betrand always be well - even though there is no I near her ' Inner Aulia with great hope.
