The Yohan Apartment

After school Kafka takes a bus with Yohan, Azam and Nathan. The four of them are unidirectional if passing the main line, because Nathan lives in the Apartment Vaga which is located not far from the school.

"Tumben's through here? Don't you just look at the crowd?" nathan asked who was sitting next to Azam.

"Gue wants to go to Yohan's house" Kafka replied.

"Well?" ask Azam.

"You learn martial arts" Kafka replied with a smile.

Azam and Nathan nodded in understanding. Azam knew that martial arts was a skill that at least everyone should have in order to take care of themselves. While Nathan certainly knows what the reason Kafka wants to learn martial arts.

Oh, yes Kafka had his mother's permission through a short message before boarding the bus if she wanted to go to Yohan's house for martial arts training. So it wasn't without Kafka's permission to leave.

"Statoo!" call Kafka.

Yohan instantly closed her eyes and sighed her breath holding in annoyance. The man closed the phone and turned to look at Kafka sitting next to him.

"Just relax" said Kafka while grinning.

"What?" ask Yohan.

"Let's call teacher Lo to teach me?" ask Kafka.

Yohan was silent for a moment. Then the guy focused on his phone again without answering questions from Kafka.

"Woi! Asked answer!" kafka said with a slight increase in his tone.

Kafka's guts suddenly shrieked after getting a creepy look from Yohan. Though Kafka had dared to raise his voice, after being stared at by Yohan the man immediately blinked by pointing his index finger and middle finger to form the letter V while grinning.

Azam and Nathan laughed. The interaction between two people with inversely proportional nature is very interesting to see, of course, also funny. The cheerful and chatty Kafka and the cold, stiff, talkative, and somewhat fierce Yohan

"What kind of martial arts did your teacher want to teach me? Taekwondo?" ask Kafka.

"Karate." replied Yohan briefly.

Kafka's shoulders slumped. Though the guy hopes to be taught martial arts taekwondo. As he often sees on television. But it's okay, the important thing is that he can defend himself to protect himself and also the people around him.

"Guru Lo wants to teach me?" ask Kafka again.

Yohan did not answer. The guy's ears have been swearing using airpods for a few seconds. Azam immediately laughed at Kafka's question.

"He's the one who's going to teach Lo." Azam replied with a laugh.

"He can karate?" ask Nathan.

"Well, is it pro?" ask Kafka.

Azam laughed a little and answered their question. "Hm, really pro. The black belt holder karate him." Azam replied as he pointed at Yohan using his chin.

Kafka gawked and turned to look at Yohan who was playing her phone. Kafka removed the airpods in Yohan's left ear then said. "My fingers are teacher Yoh-eh errat guru statue." said Kafka followed by a laugh.

After about 30 minutes they took the bus and passed 3 stops until Kafka, Azam, and Yohan arrived at Alpha Apartment. Azam climbed to the 25th floor while Kafka and Yohan exited the elevator on the 23rd floor. They headed to Yohan's apartment, number 136.

"Woah, the vast Lo house" said Kafka while looking at every corner of Yohan's apartment.

"Sit down!" yohan's orders. After saying that Yohan went into her room.

Kafka nodded his head and sat down on the sofa that was in the living room. The guy looked back at the whole room. Very spacious. The living room, kitchen and dining room become one room with bookshelves as a barrier.

"Mom would love to live in a house this big. It is not hot because there is AC. Wait Kafka success yes Ma'am, Kafka will buy a house that I believe gini." Inner Kafka.

Drrtt.. drrtt. A mobile phone screen that displays an unknown number. Kafka answered immediately.

"Hello?"

"Sorry aunt, I don't know where mom is. This morning the shop was still open." replied Kafka.

"Well, I want to order flowers for an event in the office" said the woman.

"Let me tell my mother, Auntie."

"Alright, please Kafka. Thanks."

"Yes Auntie, the same."

Tut's. Phone connection disconnected.

Kafka stared at his phone. The man looked up his mother's number on the contact list and contacted her immediately out of concern. Anggi did not say anything at all this morning, even when he called earlier his mother also did not say anything if he was going to leave. Several times Kafka tried to contact his mother, but was not connected. Until the 5th trial Kafka called then the phone was connected and picked up by his mother.

"Hello Kafka? Why son?" ask her mother behind the phone.

Kafka furrowed his brows as he vaguely heard the crowd from behind the phone.

"Where's mom? I think it's a lot." asked Kafka.

"Oh, mother at the flower seed shop" replied her mother.

"Ah so. Oh yes Ma'am, Aunt Olivia called Kafka. He said he wanted to order flowers for the event in his office" Kafka said, conveying messages from women who were customers at their florist shop.

"Auntie Olivia? That's why Kaila?"

"Yes, Mom."

Suddenly the bell rang out from behind the phone. 'Ding Ding Ding. Call to Madam Anggika Pratama. Please-'

"Mom? Why does he sound like he's in the hospital?" ask Kafka.

"No, Yaudah, I'm closed."

Tut's. Phone connection disconnected. Kafka grew increasingly confused as his mother hurriedly turned off the phone when the voice sounded.

"In the flower shop there's such a bell?" kafka murmur.

When Kafka was dumbstruck, Yohan suddenly threw a clean white shirt and a white belt. It was Yohan's karate uniform.

"Wear it!"

"here?" kafka asked with her innocent face.

Yohan rolled her eyeballs lazily, then the guy pulled Kafka's uniform collar and dragged her towards the bathroom that was near the kitchen.

Yohan was silent considering Kafka's conversation with her mother on the phone. He heard clearly Kafka mentioned the word hospital. The guy instantly recalled the time he met his mother Kafka at the hospital before entering High School. At that time he did not know Anggi.

"Have sick?" inner Yohan. In the middle of his daydream suddenly the bell rang repeatedly. Yohan looked at the main door with an annoyed look, the guy knew very well that it was Yora who rang the bell without pause like this.

Chequek.

"Annyeong!" sapa Yora uses Korean with her cute face.

"What?" ask Yohan.

"Mama hasn't come home yet, meaning there's no food at home. I was hitchhiking at Lo's house." said Yora then immediately gawked into Yohan's apartment.

The guy did not care about Yora and immediately closed the door. Yohan was used to it because their parents were busy, so Yohan always cooked for her cousin's sister. His mother was a heart specialist and his father was the CEO of a large company. Meanwhile, Mama and her father Yora are lecturers who teach at universities outside the city.
