Forever Young's
CHAPTER XXI Six Stars

The cooking competition committee announced that time was running out and counted down, "Ten, nine, eight.."

Some of the participants frantically prepared their dishes to be served, while Nuna and Rigel and the rest of the participants stood up leisurely as they had finished early.

"Three, two, one. Time out. Please put your cooking at this table to be assessed," said the Committee gave its next direction.

Nuna with heart - day brought a plate of soy sauce made by Rigel to the table. He glanced at the cooking of the other participants and was surprised to find a dark dish in between.

The three jurors in charge of assessing the group's cuisine that was on the second floor, entered the room. They tasted one by one the participants' dishes and immediately wrote down their values on the sheets of paper they brought.

The participants nervously observed the expressions of the judges. There were participants who were pessimistic when they saw the jury furrowing its eyebrows after eating their cooking. There were also those who held the hope of winning when they saw the jury nodding its head.

After assessing the 32 dishes, the judges took to the first floor to gather with the other six judges to discuss the results of their assessment.

The participants came out of the multipurpose building and waited for an announcement on the ground.

"Would you win?" ask Joshua who is leaning against a tree.

Joshua, Bimo, Eagle, Rigel and Nuna were taking shelter under a tree on the edge of the field due to the hot weather.

"I'm not sure, I haven't cooked for two months" Rigel replied.

Bimo praised Rigel. "But you're so cool, I'm banned from my mom's kitchen."

"Haha, same." Eagle chiming.

Rigel grinned. "Gue was also forced into circumstances. I don't like outside food. I don't want to cook myself. Although at the beginning can only be instant noodles doang."

Joshua laughed out loud - bahak. "Gue can't cook at all, hasn't touched my stove yet." Joshua looked at Bimo. "Bim, I'm going to try cooking."

"Not to be weird - weird, you're even burning down the kitchen."

"No, there's Rigel. Kuy when - when do you teach me to cook I am Bimo," said Joshua who is still imagined the taste of chicken soy sauce made by Rigel.

"I'm not sure. At most you just want the food."

Joshua grunting. "Well, I found out my purpose."

The eagle laughed at Joshua and asked, "How many stars have we got?"

"Well, you're the class president, you don't know?" satirical Joshua. "I'm sure Bimo got two stars but only counted one."

"Yes, I'm busy as a committee from Monday. Okay, is that one, let alone?"

Bimo raised his right hand that clenched and opened his thumb, "One basketball, three futsal champion so it's two stars, tae kwon do we're not coming, nobody's coming, karate's a two-star chick who's three stars."

"It's cool to our class too." The eagle was amazed. "Keep the others?'

"Table tennis, badminton, swimming we lose" Joshua replied.

Rigel added, "Fear we get second place."

"Four stars. Three more yok," said Bimo excitedly.

"Cintya won yesterday plus one."

"Udah five. Just like this child, who fainted abis won," said Rigel while nudging Nuna.

"Woi six stars, bro! Almost ah.." Joshua let out a disappointed breath.

"Less one more. Schnellop. This cooking race doesn't get stars, Lang?" ask Bimo.

Eagle shakes. "Breed is not a sport."

"Who knows who can."

"Gue at yesterday's meeting nobody said he'd get a star."

"Ah not fun. Who makes the rule of 7 stars? It's only eleven, the presentation is almost 70% you have to win and then can go to Bali." Joshua expressed his frustration.

Bimo chimed in, "This is too impossible to achieve. Is there a Lang who could ever get seven stars?"

"Say senior, six or seven years ago."

"Buset. See, it's too hard. How many branches?"

"Fifteen sports."

Rigel commented. "Payment, that's 50 percent if you can win."

"Hockey was really good that year" Bimo added.

"It's been a long time rule, Lang?" ask Joshua curiously.

"Udah from the inheritance twenty years ago."

"What's? This must be what you do, right, Lang?"

"Do you accuse me, Jo? How do you know if it was Ortu lo who made it?"

"Or papa mama lo, Bim?"

"Gue asked me later" said Bimo.

Joshua looked at Rigel.

Rigel raised both his hands, "To my order it's safe yeah, they don't school here."

Then the four looked at Nuna.

Rigel observed Nuna not answering and glanced at Bimo, Joshua and the Eagle.

Bimo catches the code from Rigel and tries to divert the topic, "There is no star we can also class to Bali itself. There is an Eagle village. Yeah, Lang?"

The sensitive eagle replied, "Yoi. Make a place to live, a vehicle, food, hand it to me. Yesterday papa I also just opened a restaurant branch there."

"Well, steady." Joshua also understood their intentions. "Make the plane ticket as well I can take care of. Just leave."

"Papa I also have a private hotel that there is a beach - a nice beach. Brush it there. Btw you've been there, Jo?" ask Rigel.

"Well a few times, you haven't Rigel?"

Rigel shook his head, "My father took him abroad for a vacation."

Bimo suggested, "Him alone, bro."

Nuna watched them return to talking without waiting for her to answer. He felt relief in his heart.

"Eh already collected in the field again. Do you want an announcement?" Bimo exclaimed when he saw the students flocking to the field.

"Let's go there too."

Then they blend in with the crowd of students.

The Chairman of the Cooking Competition Committee greeted the students, "Hello guys. We are already holding the results of the wave. Wondering who won?"

"Woi's school."

"Who? Who?"

"There are no stars?"

"It's hot, the common splinter."

The Chairman of the Committee who heard the shouts of the students just laughed. "OK, okay. I am general now. Third place in the MIA 2 XI class Ayana and Faris 2, second in the X class IIS 10 Key and Louis, and first in the X class MIA 9 Aluna and Qian. Give a big round of applause! Winners please come forward."

The six students emerged from the sea of students. They stood beside the Chairman of the Committee.

"The Jury's representatives will hand over the trophies and certificates."

After the photo session together, the Chairman of the Committee said, "For the trophy and certificate taken again yes guys, make the event later malem."

The students who were watching would disperse when the Chairman of the Committee prevented them.

"Wait a minute guys. Buru - buru very dah. There's a 'Star' announcement you're looking forward to."

The students immediately turned around.

"OK, the general champion who gets the most 'Stars' falls to.. "

Deng deng..

The sound of drums suddenly appeared on the surface.

"Congratulations to class XI MIA I who managed to collect six stars! The class leader please come forward to deliver his speech."

The eagle came forward and held the microphone in his hand. "Ehem test, where does the sound class XI MIA I?"

"Wooooooooooo.." The XI MIA I students shouted in response to the Eagle.

"You guys are amazing, guys. You have worked hard in following this Sports Week with maximum enthusiasm and effort. Therefore, I had a discussion earlier. We leave for Bali later malem guys, make that abis event directly to the airport, okay? Accommodation tickets there are already there, you just take a body," said Eagle made his classmates scream happily.

The other students just stared in amazement at their class. Are they on vacation too?

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman!"

"Thanks, Lang."

"Ready, boss."

The eagle returned the microphone to the Chairman of the Committee.

"Haha. Great spirit for XI class MIA I. Be careful on the way, okay? And do not forget Monday enter, haha," said the Chairman of the Committee. "Okay, the show's over. Don't forget it's tonight, guys."
