Childhood Match
Cruise Holidays

Gendhis began to get preoccupied with the routine at school. Understandably, he will soon face a graduation exam. Starting from tutoring, self-study, to busy preparing UMPTN. He did not want to disappoint his parents, nor the people who had given him confidence.

His busyness made his communication with Latitude slightly disturbed. Sometimes Gendhis had time, Lintang was busy with his military training activities. Sometimes the latitude again stifled, Gendhis who was busy with his activities. Moreover, Gendhis is now pioneering schools for children in his village. That was one of his dreams since childhood. He wants to be able to improve education in his village so that early matchmaking can be stopped.

It wasn't easy, Gendhis had to fight on his own. Starting from convincing villagers to want to send their children to school, to take care of the educational permit that he pioneered.

He was grateful, because there was Pak Argo and Bu Parti who were always ready to help him. They even provided a place for Gendhis to teach the children in his village. Although far from perfect, but he is grateful, there are still people as good as Mr. Argo in his village. He also had a unanimous determination, that someday, the citizens of Kampung Merangi will begin to realize the importance of education for their daughter's son.

That afternoon, after teaching the children, Lintang contacted him.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat... Mas Latitude..." Gendhis greeting with a sparkling face.

"Waalaikum... Dis... Where the hell, from yesterday I called you hard." The word latitude asks for an explanation.

"Sorry, Mas. Gendhis just got home. Lintang knows the signal here is very difficult." Reply Genthis.

"Yes, I just want to say, tomorrow morning we go? Like I have a cruise holiday again, and this Sunday there are no non-academic activities, so cadets can walk, but my time is not long, from ten in the morning, from ten in the morning, three o'clock in the afternoon should have arrived at the dormitory again." Happy latitude, there is at least a little time to meet Gendhis.

"Tomorrow Mas?" Ask Gendhis.

"Yes.. tomorrow morning, we meet at the La Guna cafe that I used to take you there." Latitude explained.

There is no definitive answer from Gendhis, instead he seems to be thinking.

"Why Dis? How's diem? You can't?" Lintang felt strange when Gendhis did not immediately agree to his request.

"It's not that, Mas... Tomorrow morning coincidentally in my school there will be a visit from the District, for the future continuation of the school here. This school was chosen as a pilot school, because although access is not easy, but the spirit of the children here is extraordinary. They proved to be able to compete with the schools in the city which incidentally is the children of the rich with all the facilities owned. But our school can get a pretty good achievement when there is a race event from the District. And... does Mas Lintang know?" Gendhis had not finished speaking, Lintang had already cut off his words.

"Gendhis. I know, you're super busy. Soon the exam, then UMPTN entrance selection, and now plus your activities in the village. But. I only asked for one day. I also don't think every vacation can come out. Is there anything more important than this? Say, Dis?" The latitude began to stir emotions.

Gendhis only fell silent, admitting that Lintang was not wrong, but what about the visit plan tomorrow morning? Gendhis still doesn't know what to answer.

"Mas Latitude..." Gendhis.

"What's? I'd say I can't come tomorrow, right? It is only if you cannot not have to be forced. Let me go the same way." Pasrah latintang.

"Mas Lintang..." Gendhis.

"Yeah.. tomorrow I come. Justjust..." Gendhis.

"What's free? Want to get conditions? I don't want to meet if I'm not sincere." Lintang.

"It's not sincere, Mas... I came.. but... a bit bad luck can you? At 12 o'clock at most, I've reached the cafe. How's it? Yaaaa.. please. Okay..." Gendhis.

"Hheeemmm.. ngerayuuu. Try it now you're here, I must've pinched your nose." The latitude of the end was broken with the seduction of Gendhis.

"Ehhh... time on the pinch? Pain know..." Gendhis.

He knew that if the conversation continued, Lintang would be more and more slurred. Understandably, the words of a lover who has longed to long.

"Or what? Ah, yes, Lintang. I'll take a shower first, see you tomorrow at La Guna's cafe at 12 p.m. Ms. bye... Mas Latitude dear..." Genthis hung up the phone.

"Eh. uh... Dis... wait! I'm not done talking, Dis... Whahuh? The darling? Am I not wrong? As long as I knew Gendhis even until his fiancee, only this time he called my dear...., even then immediately disconnected his phone? So mean..." Seen by the phone he held, it turns out that Genphis has been listening to the conversation.

"Not very polite anyway.play blurred so it's not a responsibility... Heeemmm... You basic yes, make a gemes! Look out tomorrow if you see me..." Said Lintang talking to himself while putting his phone back.

"Alhamdulillah..."

Genphis gave thanks. This time the visit went well. He hopes that after this, the school will be more advanced, and the funding submitted to the government for the construction of the school will soon go down, so that children can be more excited about learning.

Gendhis saw that the clock in his hand had shown at 11.30 WIB. He can't be late to see Lintang. Trouble persuading him to delay their meeting hours, now he wants to come late? It's not funny...

"Mr Gendhis. let's take some photos for documentation." Said one of the officers from the district. He is the Regent of Magelang.

"Oh. good Sir. I'm sorry to call him Gendhis, because I'm still too small to call you mom. he. he..." Gendhis joking.

"Oh... huh? Age is not a limitation someone can perform even better than a mother, for example Mom. I salute him, despite his young age, but his achievements are extraordinary, continued Mbak..." Said the Regent.

"Gee... This father is too much. Thank you, sir, I am just practicing the knowledge that I have. I am grateful when it turns out that science can be a light for others. Please pray, sir, hopefully the awareness of the importance of education for the citizens of Merangi Village will increase." Reply Genthis.

Mr. Argo who was there at the time and attended the event was very proud of the achievements of his future son-in-law.

"Yes, sir.please pray only.Hopefully in the future, more will be born another Gendhis Gendhis in our Village. So that the women here no longer need to rush to be married before they get an education." Added Mr. Argo.

"That's right, sir." Said the Regent.

After they took pictures and some officers from the District left, Gendhis immediately asked permission to leave the event. Previously he had talked about this to Mr. Argo, and without a second thought, Mr. Argo just allowed Gendhis to meet his son.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mother, all of you, without compromising your respect, please continue the show until it's over. I permit precede because there are interests that cannot be abandoned." Gendhis.

The villagers were very happy, it was the first time their village was visited by officers from the District, and they felt proud.

The students one by one stretched out their hands to shake hands with Gendhis, the mother of the young teacher they idolized. They have goals, if they grow up, they want to be like Gendhis.

The happiness of Gendhis was immeasurably seeing those little ones. He was grateful that at least his life could benefit others.

Gendhis immediately took his matic motorbike parked in the school yard, then immediately down the road along Mount Sumbing Peak.
