Hidden talent

    Rara put her school bag on her desk. Throw his body into

her mattress. His dogs followed him into his room.

The dogs should not be allowed in the room, but the only way they can not be noisy is if they are with Rara. After all being near them was like a therapy unto itself for Rara, they made her calm down.

At the age of ten, Rara had trouble sleeping at night. Every night he was plagued with all sorts of dreams that were a piece of cut. Fragment fragment of the dream made it difficult to sleep. It's the same

I don't understand what he dreamed. Just a flash of flashes of various kinds of events that changed so quickly that Rara had no idea what they meant. Sometimes it is like seeing things from a high place like he is flying, sometimes it is like looking from a point of view that is very close to the ground. And lastly, it's always the same dream where the dream feels so scary. Rara felt like something was chasing her with whispering sounds that were getting more and more terrifying. He can feel where he is in someone's arms.In addition to the terrible whisperings he can hear another soft voice that says it all

it's fine.  Until the age of fifteen years he always slept with Wulan even though papi and mami had prepared a separate room for him. Every time he dreamed, Wulan would wake up and embrace him. And Rara knew the soft whisper that said everything would be fine was Wulan's voice. And once he had a dog, strangely those dreams by themselves stopped.

Since then Rara has dared to sleep in her own room.

            The room is beautifully dominated by mint pastel colors. The wall was painted with small flowers. This room was designed by Mami herself. As well as the Wulan and Suryo rooms, all the Mami who designed them are tailored to their individual personalities. And Rara was so grateful for that. He is grateful that there are still Wijaya families who want to accept him even love him like their own children. . And Rara couldn't ask for a better family. But there are certain moments where he imagines what it would be like if his parents were still alive. Whether his life would be happier or whether he might not feel that happiness. Silently, Rara often searches for information about her parents.

Papi and Mami are always open about how they explain how good Rara's parents are. But when asked how his parents died - Papi, Mami, Yeye - Nainai said only that his parents were hit by the Covid 19 outbreak that hit the world in the year of his birth. Without further explanation.

            The dogs stood up and sniffed. Rara smells good food. His stomach was rumbling when he was at school he had fried rice. Duuuhhh. If this is the case if Rara still does not eat she will feel dizzy. That's why his diet always fails. He envied Wulan and Suryo, envious of their metabolism which despite eating a lot can still have an ideal body. Plus they both have brilliant brains. If Wulan is always the champion of the class then Suryo won many sports championships. And again they were both blessed with beautiful faces, tall bodies. Unlike Rara, her face is round, her hair is curly and always messy. Her body is also ordinary with a height of one hundred and sixty centimeters and a weight that she always kept secret, Rara knows she will never pass for an audition to be a model. Duh...mau how is it? The seeds are different....

His classmates liked to tease him by calling him the fat-haired lion. Sometimes his classmates can be very cruel especially the girls. Rara knew he was just an impingement because in fact their target of fire was actually Wulan. Back when I was in class with Wulan and Suryo, no one dared to bother Rara because Wulan and Suryo were always there to defend her.

            Rara never told Wulan the treatment of her classmates, because she knew Wulan would immediately defend her and did not hesitate to hit those who disturbed her. But Rara doesn't want that. Because they do not want to add their dislike to Wulan. The problem with Wulan, she is beautiful, smart, her body is good, the son of a rich man but Wulan can not be stale. When he speaks to the point, what he does not like he will say frankly. And Wulan really does not like the chicks who affect Suryo. Many boy friends have a crush on Wulan, but none of them according to Wulan fit his criteria. Besides that, he also does not care about the guys who assess him. If anyone approached him, nothing he would refuse firmly. Therefore many consider Wulan arrogant, ice queen, and many more that Rara knows that it is not true. This is what makes it difficult for them to find members to participate in mading competitions between schools. Some of their friends do not like Wulan and some are afraid because Wulan is famous for her perfectionism that is too late. Wulan also has a high competitive spirit. Then don't

ask your sin if you make a mistake that Wulan thinks will make them lose.

            Nainai's voice calls them to eat breaking Rara's daydream. Slowly he got out of his bed. Hopefully Suryo keeps his promise to find some more people so they qualify for the mading race. It is not that Suryo will not keep the heck but rather hopefully Suryo will quickly fulfill what he promised. Their family is principled to always keep the promise but specifically Suryo, he will keep his promise but always keep the deadline. Wulan often nagged about this. If Wulan is always on time then Suryo even though carrying a watch as big as gaban will still always mepet or even sometimes late,

            Rara entered the dining room followed by her three dogs. Before Nainai complained he took his dogs out to the back garden and let them play there. Lauk today is Rara's favorite side dish there are bakwan maize and machete asem. Suryo who helped bring in the cuisine and arranged it on the dining table. Suryo hobbies cooking therefore he often helps Nainai in the kitchen and that is one of the reasons of all his grandchildren Suryo is a favorite grandson of Nainai in addition to the usual tradition of people of Chinese descent where the child guys always take precedence because that will lower their surname. In addition, such as tradition is also where in the end the parents will always follow to boys such as Yeye and Nainai

who stayed with them because Papi was their only son.

Single children, but that's how it is in most families of Chinese descent parents will eventually live together with one of their sons.

            “Let's eat...eat!”

            “Yeye where? Not eating?”

            “Ndak Yeye out eat the same tea. Lazy Nainai also prefers to eat with grandchildren aja.”

            Rara smiled and exchanged glances with Wulan and Suryo. Nainai is so. If not forced once he will not go out with anyone other than his own family. Do not like to gather arisan, or any other social activities where actually Nainai friends often invite. According to Nainai's friends old people like them need such activities to relieve boredom but not with Nainai. Nainai can always find busyness. Even though he was already eighty years old Nainai was not senile at all. There is always something Nainai can do. In his spare time Nainai likes to play games. It's cool not to lose to young people said Nainai. Even during school holidays the four of them often spend time playing games with Nainai. It's delicious again, though, Mami will not dare to scold them if they play games too long because Nainai also play with them anyway for games that pay Nainai often buy them things that can make them easier to become stronger.

Hihah... Rara amused herself how Mami who did not dare to protest to Nainai, Suryo often teased Mami by showing off or talking loudly how it was time to sleep but they still play games in front of Mami. Papi said according to Javanese Mami ‘kalah awu’..hahahahaa.

            “Yo..that's your birthday gift how? Tried already?”

            “Not yet.later to try. Wuih but really cool Nai! Yesterday Suryo saw in his garage Aldi.”

            Suryo and Wulan's birthdays are still two weeks away. But that's how Yeye and Nainai, consumed by Suryo's deadly seduction, can't wait for his reward. So unbeknownst to Papi and Mami, Yeye and Nainai buy Suryo's dream motorcycle. The latest model used by famous racers. Mami refuses outright when Suryo asks for a motorcycle for his birthday present. Because according to Mami, riding a motorcycle is very dangerous even though Suryo has said many times he will only use it on the race circuit. But Mami also did not agree he said that he also used it on the race circuit, Iha indeed Suryo wants to be a racer. It is a very dangerous profession, Mami said. Ora is at risk he said.

            But yes it is hard. How yes... Suryo likes everything that smells of speed. Like running, speeding and any game that requires speed. So banning it from Suryo is like forbidding Rara to keep a dog. Because those things are already a part of them. Actually, according to Rara Mami also understands that. But her feelings of worry as a mother overcame her rationality.

Rara also suspects that there may be other causes that make Mami insist on banning Suryo.

            So to trick Mami, then, the gift of the motorcycle that Yeye and Nainai bought without the knowledge of Papi Mami was they entrusted to his father Aldi who is also a friend of Yeye who is also a seller of the motorcycle. With a note the bill is not addressed to Papi's office but directly to Yeye aja.

            “ Eh Ra will not come? The circuit park is better...Also, it is closed to the public. ”Dan ends with a deathly smile throw.

            Duh how yes... confused also Rara why Suryo asked him.why there is a change of plan like this. Tumben. By inviting him automatically Wulan must also come. And this must be a condition from Aldi so that Suryo can use the circuit owned by his father. Rara was already astonished yesterday how could Aldi possibly empty the circuit just for Suryo. No matter how good Suryo's best friend is, to lend the entire circuit for free to Suryo just to try his new bike is an astounding thing.

It turns out there's a shrimp behind the bakwan.

And very clever at the last moment just put forward the condition that Wulan must come along. Everyone also knows that Aldi has been going to Wulan for a long time. And Wulan had also been in a subtle way and a gluttonous way of rejecting it. But it seems that Aldi is not giving up.

            And Rara ... moreover plus the sweet smile and death gaze of Suryo, where can he refuse it. Only with a look in his eyes can Suryo make him klepek-clepek. Not only Rara, any girl except Mami and Wulan may always be made with the sweet mouth, her smile or her eyes. Rara knows Suryo is beyond her reach, he was as the saying goes like pungguk misses the moon and after all Suryo only considers him as a sister but that does not hinder Rara's feelings to be able to fulfill all Suryo's wishes.Only now how this is the way to convince Wulan to change the original plan from the streets to the park near the house so go to a circuit that is nearly forty-five minutes away.

            “Ehm..try deh you invite Wulan, would not come... You said you wanted to see a nice katane garden there. I haven't been with sheba, batrix and milly maen.”

            Widih said it was easy. Though Suryo will know how Wulan lately is often bad mood. Speaking of how to try. Especially invited to the circuit that will have Aldi there. Rara has to say what try.

            “OK try yes, do not invite Wulan. Tau dewe is in a bad mood. Later try not to talk about what kind of circuit.”

            “Ho...oh said o you want to know. Your grandmother said she would. Ojo I said. Disate ngko me.”

***

            Suryo was unable to hide his excitement. Along the way to the circuit he could not hide the smile on his face. He glimpsed the back bench where Rara looks to be stroking sheba, and his gaze met with Wulan. The smile disappeared from his face. Quickly turned his face away. Afraid there would be a burst of fiery dragons towards him. He could still feel Wulan's laser-like eyes wanting to hole his back. The important thing is that he can try his new bike.

            It was smart how Rara made Wulan come along. By saying how much Rara wants to take their dogs to the circuit park, and how she also wants to see Suryo action. The most genius was how Rara talked about it all while eating earlier in front of Nainai. By speaking in front of Nainai, automatically Nainai immediately issued his edict. In their family the position of Nainai was like a queen mother.

            “Yes already, there go, Wulan temeni the koko and Rara!” The end of discussion.

            Wulan could only frown and with seven bent faces went to her room to get ready to leave. Rara always knew how to deal with Wulan. Suryo knew his twin sister was not an easy person to deal with. Suryo could not imagine which guy could meet Wulan's expectations, and it was clear to Suryo that his best friend Aldi would not be able to deal with his brother's stubbornness. Aldi is not ugly. Even pretty. From a rich family who is also famous. Intelligence is above average. There are also many fancies. But somehow it had absolutely no effect on Wulan. Heran again Aldi koq ya do not give up pdkt to Wulan. Yes already.... Suryo had been trying to tell Aldi that

his efforts are in vain and Wulan is difficult, likes to sulk, moody, chatty, baffle, want to win continuously and.... tree e all things besides her beauty and cleverness for Suryo Wulan it's a big NO NO to be made a girlfriend . But still ngeyel.ya wes...

            I don't think they got to the circuit. The circuit has only been around for five years.   With a track length of more than five thousand kilometers, the total bend there are seventeen and the location that allows the racer to enjoy the view of the city of Solo makes this circuit enter the annual list for formula one and motogp series. And this is very proud for the citizens of Solo. The progress of the city of Solo in the last fifteen years, including astounding. But for Wulan, this is a small, boring city.

Today the circuit looks quiet. There is no activity when there are usually always training sessions or other minor class racing events.  Suryo could not hide his excitement. He has long dreamed of this. He loves the sensation he feels when riding a motorcycle. Indeed, the car can speed but there is a sensation of its own that he felt when the wind blows on his face that he will not get in driving a car. Of course Mami is very much against this. According to Mami this sport is a sport with a great risk of death. After all, according to Mami, motorcycle birthday gifts like this are too expensive for a child of his age. Suryo can already guess what Mami will give him for his birthday. That is a savings book with an increasing balance where the savings are under the control of Mami that Suryo can not use.

Then there are other gifts that they will bring to the orphanage. So at the birthday instead of Suryo who can gift from Mami but instead Suryo must set aside money to buy donations for the orphanage children. This year Yeye and Nainai did not give an angpao because they had bought a motorcycle for him. Sometimes Suryo gemes themselves with Papi and Mami, koq can be as much. Cook has more money to upset others. Falling into your own child is also possible, wong children also need. Can

Suryo also wants to be able to have branded clothes such as Aldi, a cool sports car, or the latest gadget. Though the founder of the most innovative company in the world in the last ten years but his children's mobile phones are still old-fashioned phones output three years ago.

            Buuk...!!

            “Aw....OH!!! Ngopo to kowe!!!”

            “Bola ne stray!!! Wes press kuwi! Even ora midun!”

            “Ohhhh..lha!! Sick yoo! Wae isa!”

            He saw his sister waltzing with his bitch down from the car without apologizing. Ah. let it be rather than later not even want to get off the car is even more troublesome.

            From a distance Aldi seemed to run to greet them. Not surprisingly, when first called Wulan is not his best friend. Aiiish.. no pa pa lah.. wong has been helped do not fuss.

            “Lan wah you koq come along. What a surprise...!”

            Wulan simply scrunched her forehead without a word waltzing away. He took the leash of his dogs from Rara's hand and let go. Suryo is so upset why Wulan is like that. Very disrespectful. However, Aldi was his closest friend. Karo kentel concoct according to Nainai. Time can't respect a little. Don't like it, but don't know the rich rules. You can't make members for a mading group. Hiiih.

            “Ehm.eh.. Aldi.eh thank you for bringing the dog here. Sorry if I have a bite. Bener ndak papa to these dogs play here?”

            “Oh Rara.!” Aldi just realized there was Rara there.

            “Oh yes papa koq! I've permission. Cuman please only if there is dirt taken well...”.

            “Iya calm already brought plastic koq. I walk alone to the park. Right side of this, right?” rara said while pointing at Wulan.

            “oh.not the park on the left here. Just anther!”

            “Ehm ndak... You can yourself meet Suryo. Night hunting nti wanted with Mami.” And Rara hurriedly ran after Wulan before Aldi offered further help.

            Luckily, Rara was there, she knew how to avoid this strange situation. Suryo feels very lucky to have Rara in their family. He knew that Suryo had already felt

hot with Wulan's behavior. Aldi aja sensitivity levels if scratched may only be a quarter of a teaspoon.

            “Woi Bro! Yuk hunt keburu Papi Mamiku home nti I sought.”

            Aldi still looks dumb. His eyes followed in the direction of Wulan and Rara. It appears Rara is holding Wulan with her left hand while her right hand takes over the bridle of her dogs that seem to have started tugging Wulan until her sister almost nyungsep. As soon as Rara was in control of the bridle ropes, the dogs immediately calmed down and did not tug at their harnesses. They then turned towards the park outside the circuit.

            “Great yes....”.

            “Iya Rara is indeed great handle...”.

            “Si Wulan”

            “Ehhhh..? Koq Wulan?”

            “Yes see how he patiently handles your dogs? The way to hold the reins is also very elegant. Tuh”

            Suryo can only gawk indeed love is blind but this is it .........

            He impatiently pulled Aldi to where his motorbike was stored. While Aldi let his body dragged Suryo his eyes still follow the direction of the departure of Wulan and Rara.
