Childhood Match
Trio Centil is Back


In the school cafeteria, Gendhis and friends were enjoying a break after sports lessons. They were sitting in a chair not far from where they were taking their food. A glass of iced tea, with a bowl of soto plus tempe mendoan is enough to wipe away their thirst as well as lethargy. That's the kids' favorite menu. Although not Korean food like children's food today, but when it comes to taste, the menu here is not inferior to Korean restaurants. This simple menu is quite popular because of its distinctive taste.


"Bak Gendhis is not the same Tina Ma'am?" Ask the Canteen Bu while serving customers.


"Yes, Mom. Tina didn't come in today." Reply Gendhis while enjoying the clear soto of Bu Kantin's cuisine.


"Why Tina? It hurt?" Ask Mrs Canteen.


"No idea, ma'am, there's no permission." Reply Genthis.


"Eh, Dis. I think I saw Tina deh." Lovely words from one of Gendhis's friends.


"Liat Tina's? Where's where?" Genghis asked.


"It's also less clear that it was in the race parking lot really because." Answer Beautifully.


"You've seen it wrong..." Gendhis.


"But it looks like Tina deh, Dis. You see, on the road when I was leaving, I saw Tina already using school sragam." Add Ida, who happens to be the distance of her house with Tina is not too far away.


Gendo was beginning to wonder. Is that right, his deketeers skipped school? Then what? Why didn't he say? Tina has never kept anything secret from Gendhis. But Gendhis felt, it had been some days that Tina's attitude was a little strange.


"So... You mean, Tina skipped school?" Gendish asked his two friends.


They also just scrunched their faces as if they did not know the true incident.


Moments later, the bell rang. All students leave the class. Suddenly there was a voice that was loud enough to call the name of Bu Kantin.


"Mom... Bu Canteen. Soto dong, Mom. As usual, three. No onion leaves and lots of sauce." Leny said while calling Ms. Canteen who was washing dishes in the back.


The Centil Trio was already in front of the cafeteria. The three of them saw Gendhis and his friends in the cafeteria. Shelly went straight to the table and said.


"Heh... What are you doing here?" Tanya Shelly is cynical.


"Don't see, huh? We're eating." Genphis answered while enjoying the meal.


"Eh.. if asked the same upperclassman replied politely dong...! Nyolot is the one..." Shelly was upset to hear Gendhis answer.


"So my sister asked us again what, I answered again eat, where is not the polite, brother?" Said Gendhis pretending not to know what Shelly meant.


Beautiful and Ida just sat down. They instantly became full seeing the Centil Trio instantly being in front of them.


Shevin finally approached, saying,


"Shelly.. maybe as a sister, we need to teach her how to be polite!" Said Shevin sewot.


"Eh, you're little kids.if it's just eating. noh. Why are you guys snacking here? You guys don't know? This is our county canteen...! As long as we eat here, no one's allowed to go." Lany said glaring as if her eyes were about to pop.


Shevin just kept quiet to see the treatment of his friends, because it was their habit.


"What if we eat here? This is the cafeteria of Mrs Canteen. Isn't anyone entitled to a snack here? I don't think the cafeteria will mind either. With your actions like that, it will certainly harm Ms. Canteen. And I guess, I said this is not wrong. Isn't that right, Miss Canteen?" Gendhis turned to Bu Kantin who just bowed down did not dare to answer even though his words were right.


In addition to having the father of one of the largest iron shop owners in Kaliangkrik, Shevin's mother was the Chairman of the Committee at their school. Born into a family of all abilities, Shevin used to get everything he wanted. Ms. Kantin is worried that her permission to sell in Smandong's canteen will be removed. Selling at that school was the sole economic focus of their family.


"Basar yaaa." Said Shelly as she walked closer to Genphis. I want it to feel like he pulled the Gendhis hijab and stuffed his mouth with tempe mendoan, let's not just talk. But soon Shevin prevented it.


"Shelly, Lany... From this moment on, we move. I don't taste any more here." Shevin said as he left the canteen followed by the entire Centil Trio. But the Canteen had already made their order.


Canteen just stroked his chest, so Gendhis walked over to him.


"Mom.n sorry Gendhis yes, because Gendhis they do not eat here. And, maybe tomorrow as well." Genphis apologized.


The Canteen Maid smiled as she said,


"Mbak Gendhis. I'm thankful they don't come here anymore. Because if they're here, other buyers are on the run because they don't want to find trouble. All this time only Sister Gendhis dared to go against their words." Said Ms. Canteen.


"Mom, I don't mean to evict Bu Kantin's customers. I just don't like the behavior of those who like to look down on others, especially if the person from the family is less able." Gendhis.


"Yes, Sister Gendhis is right. I feel relieved now. But maybe not for the other Canteen Ma'am, Ma'am. They must have been feeling anxious when their canteen was chosen for their hangout." Said Ms. Canteen.


"Where is anyone brave, Ma'am..." Miss Canteen seemed resigned.


Gendhis just shook his head.


After he finished eating, Gendhis and his two friends immediately entered the class because the next lesson was about to begin.


"Eh, Dis... You know what? You were brave enough to talk about that same arrogant gang. Are you not afraid of trouble?" Wonderful as they walked into the classroom.


"Why should I be afraid, Ndah? The important thing is not to look for problems with the teacher's father..." Reply Gendoes relaxed.


"Didn't they think I was their problem from the beginning? Let's just. as long as we don't have to be afraid." Added Gendhis.


And they immediately entered the classroom.

The bells go home from school. Soon all the students came out and rushed towards the parking lot. The large number of students in the school makes the parking lot always full. They must be willing to wait if they do not want to cram with others.


After the conditions in the parking lot began to be quiet, Gendhis walked to a motorbike parked not far from the school. He was surprised, when he found his motorbike had become a stopover for slimy snails.


"Astaghfirullah...." Gendhis.


"What's up, Dis?" Ask one of the students to her.


"No papa, Brother. It's just a snail on my bike." Reply Genthis.


"Huh... snail?" She's amazed.


The male student walked over to Gendhis motorbike and it turned out to be true, there were eight snails hanging out on the Gendhis motorbike. There are those in the motor jog, rearview, handlebar momotor and other parts, making the Gendhis motorbike filled with mucus.


"Right..why there can be snails here, whereas in other motors there is no." The male student said that while helping Gendhis pick up the snails, he threw them in the garden beside the school.


"Favor, yes Brother." Reply Genthis.


"Yes Dis, same." Answer the male students.


It wasn't enough to get there. When Gendhis was about to start the engine, it turned out. The motorcycle's tires are leaking out the front as well as the back. Even the lid of the pentile has run away somewhere.


"God willing..." Gendhis stroked the chest.


Does he think it's a coincidence or just a coincidence? Why in one day he had two problems on the bike at once. And that's at the same time. He didn't want suudzon, but when he decided to look for trouble with the Centil Trio, he should have thought something like this was bound to happen.


The atmosphere at school was very quiet. Even the male student who had helped her had already left. How you gonna do it again? Like it not like it, Gendhis had to walk by guiding his motorcycle matic looking for a tire patch.


"Patience... Patient... must be strong!" Gendhis said in his heart.


Under the scorching sun and hot air, Gendhis still leads his bike looking for a tire patch that is quite far from Smandong. People passed by without anyone offering help, but he kept walking.


"If Mas Lintang were here, I wouldn't be in trouble like this..." His words in his heart made Gendhis want to shed tears.


"Ah.. never mind. don't expect, Dis... Your latitude is now angry again, because it is your own doing. So stop thinking that he's gonna help you. You better speed up the steps to get to cepet." Say it in the heart.


When Gendhis was about to pass a fork in the small alley of Smandong entrance, suddenly from the opposite direction drove the vehicle very quickly, until it almost hit Gendhis.


"Srstttt...."


The motorcycle with two male passengers stopped just in front of Gendhis.


"If the way is not daydreaming! Danger knows! It could endanger yourself...!" Said the man who was riding a motorcycle in the front.


How surprised Genthis was...


"Mas Latitude...!" He was surprised and surprised to mix happily, seeing the person he was thinking was already standing in front of him. Especially when he needed it most. It felt like Gendhis was complaining about what he had been going through all day without the Latitude beside him.
