#57 Race Days
No one is aware of how fast time has passed and has now reached the twentyth of October, Devin has gone through some pretty grueling training days and today is the day he had to show his sincerity during training yesterday, early in the morning the boy was awake and preparing for breakfast with the family before going to school with Elhanan and Mr. Indra by car.
“Your stuff has been brought all right?” claudia asked and Devin nodded slowly.
“Don't forget to pray on the way, God bless ya, son.” said he then rubbed the top of his son's head slowly.
“Still, Mom. We leave first yes..”
“Father of the road first, Bu.”
“Codal Mom!” timpal Elhanan before the car actually departed from the yard of the family home of the Chrysanthemum exactly at five more than thirty minutes.
Because the race will start at ten, Devin will later depart using a minibus provided by the school with his brother, Devin, also miss Kayleen and two other teachers as escorts at seven and travel about two and a half hours.
“Kaga there are people.” said Elhanan when they reached the school parking area which of course is still quiet, it was only six o'clock a little.
After putting the gear into the minibus and getting a little evaluation from miss Kay, the guy chooses to wait in his class alone. He also took a moment for a shady moment before reopening his phone.
As the sun rose, the footsteps of people running in the hallway sounded all over the classroom, making Devin turn his head and widen his eyes when he saw Cherryl and Lily running into the classroom, approached him with breath.
“Hhhh...H-hai Devin!” said Lily then the two girls took a chair and sat down.
“You came in the morning really?” sahut the guy.
Cherryl grinned, “Hehehe, would you like to nyangatin lo. Brother Fian same Sebby also have come but they are very long way, still on sleepy.”
Devin smiled, “Thank you, you guys have bothered like this.”
Lily took her backpack and pulled out a tote bag from inside and gave it to the guy who immediately received it, “Eh what else?” ask and peek inside.
He saw a small box of chocolate pastries he had tasted yesterday during a visit to the Sanjaya family home, a bar of chocolate, a box of milk and a packet of mint candies each given by his friends.
“Yes so much, make me all?”
The two girls nodded in response, “We can only give this, hopefully you win! We will wait for news from lo.” said the cherry girl.
“Iya, Vin. We can only help prayer here. Your spirit!” timpal Lily's.
“Yo, Bro Devin!!” alfian exclaimed who came with Sebastian, interrupting the conversation between the three people sitting in the classroom.
They greet the younger brother and immediately give encouragement to him, “Gue anyway want to skip just lo go the same teacher, where can.” said Alfian afterwards.
Devin laughs, “Haha yes too. But actually you guys excited me using the words also I already seneng, thank you all.”
“Permennya from me loh, let lo kalo there meet cute girl breath does not smell.” timpal the tall guy then brandished his thumb.
“Chick keeps your brain, he wants anjir.” Sebastian's sneer race which is certainly not ignored by his friend.
“Oh yes he said lo ditemenin kak Hanan?” lily asked which made Devin turn to her.
“Iya, sister was chatting with miss Kayaknya on waiting in the teacher's room.”
If according to the myth, Elhanan must have a long life because the girl appeared perfectly when they were talking about it. He waved his hand and greeted the others before telling the sister that they were told to quickly gather in the parking lot as it was about to leave.
“Huwaaa my deg-degan!” cherryl said then while taking a deep breath.
Devin immediately complied and invited his friends to come to the parking lot, he also had to say goodbye to them before boarding the minibus.
They waved their hands eagerly to accompany the departure of the guy, “Kabarin if his lomba was already running, Devin! God bless!!”
Elhanan who saw it immediately embraces the sister and kisses her head, “Devin has good friends, yes. Big brother was very happy..” he said softly, while the guy just flinching because he was embarrassed, his ears were also flushed as usual.
Miss Kay sat right behind the two, while two male teachers sat in front next to the driver's pack because the seats fit up to three people. At first Mr. Indra proposed to use a private car but the principal said it was their obligation to provide facilities, so you have to.
“Miss knows that Devin has good potential, even if you like to talk stiff but once you start dancing you are not nervous at all.” said miss Kay while putting both of her hands holding on to the back of the chair.
“Hehe, yes Miss. Thank you.”

It has been ten minutes since Devin changed his clothes in the space that has been provided, at this time the boy separated from the others because he had to sit in the front seat according to the queue number that was given by the committee. The man was nervous half to death to sweat even though in the room had been installed many large fans for the participants, he massaged his hands slowly to relieve nausea in his stomach.
The boy's eyes wandered around, looking at the various expressions shown by the other participants; some were nervous to the point of crying, looking confident, agitated while nibbling their nails or shaking their legs. Seeing it all made his heart somewhat calm because it felt that many were nervous and depressed as well, so he had nothing to fear.
“Excuse me. What number are you?” ask a guy who looks like he is going around the bench to find his seat number.
Devin shows his name, “Number two seven, lo what number?” askalanya.
“Aduh means in the front row huh? I was late but my teacher first came so given the initial queue number, dapet number sixteen.” said the guy then he thanked Devin and immediately continued his steps.
“The seat is also a lot that is still empty.” muttered Elhanan's sister then she opened the phone because there were several incoming messages from Alfian asking her how she was.
The guy raised his phone hesitantly to take some photos to send to Alfian who told him to because the other kids were curious about how the atmosphere of the lomba area was.
It had been about ten minutes but there was also no answer from the big brother eating him the guy immediately put his phone back in his pocket. There are no signs of starting because the organizers have not announced anything, even one jury sitting in the front row.
Exactly ten o'clock, right, two of the hosts climbed onto the stage and told that the event would begin immediately with a speech from the race's chairman and several other important people before continuing with a private prayer together.
“Then without lingering again, because we have quite a lot of participants yes today, we will immediately start the race. Ready for all?”
“Siapppp..”.
“Where is this sound, you guys ready??!”
All participants, as well as the escorts who got seats on the back also exclaimed, “SIAPPPPP!!”
For the last time Devin took the time to sit down for a while and mentally prepare him, well even though he wasn't in the early order. He got a bit curious as to who got the first place because the sitting distance was a bit far ahead so he could not see without standing.
“Given first contestant, Chelsea Alexandra!” exclaimed one of the MCs and the audience immediately clapped boisterously as a girl climbed onto the stage.
Devin who heard that knitted his brows because his ears felt very familiar with that name, “Chelsea Alexa―HAH?!”
TBC.
