Just a Story
Chapter 98 ~ Learn New Things

...

Before Alan runs his bike, the guy looks back, faces forward again then runs the bike out of the school area while shining a smile that shows his dimples. "Welcome back."

***

Ava sat down at her study table, she was still thinking about what Safira said this morning and Sara some time ago when she and Sapphira came to the girl's house.

The Flashback

Sapphira was in the bathroom, because she said the girl was peeing. Sara was petting her gray cat with a bit of white stripes, it was an ordinary cat.

"Sar," call Ava.

Sara looked up at Ava. "What?"

"If I tell you a story about me and him, it's probably not, huh?"

Still in a state of petting the cat, Sara scratched her itchy thigh. "If I think it will be sold and many like, the matter of the story itself sounds very dramatic. A little modification to make it more real and more dramatic. In Junior High, right, you're also the Queen of Drama, right?"

Ava laughed crisply. "Yes too, but I'm afraid that all the cast is angry when it finds out. I'm not allowed to do that either."

"Not to be afraid, just a story. They will not be angry as long as you never tell or explain their true identity, if for others, such as the nature of love enough, not much. If you can, find a cast of others who are physically almost the same, the same as them, that's my advice. If they are still angry? Yes it's your pain."

"Ish, you don't dong, make me afraid to know!"

"Yes, instead of being afraid but, right, you also have to give them privacy, and if your privacy is lacking, you also have to bear the risk. Because what? Yeah, because it's your work." Sara paused her sentence, then said. "But, your intention from the beginning is not to demonize them. Lo just wanted to make something a reminder that they all existed, just like Dilan."

Ava nodded slowly. "It's also what you said."

"Yes, Sara is that." Raising his chin and eyebrows very proudly.

"By the way, anyway?" sack Safira from behind.

Sara and Ava compactly shook their heads. "There's nothing at all."

Flashback Off

Ava propped up her chin while staring out the window. "It's good, too, if you make a story?"

The girl took the empty book over the high school book from the drawer, wrote something on the blank paper. When she was done, she put it on the wall using a double tip so that when sitting at the study table or when she was studying, the girl could remember.

Terms that must be in place and adhered to:

1) Modify sufficiently to make the story more real and dramatic.

2) Never explain or tell the original cast in the real world.

3) Show their true nature or behavior to taste, not too much.

4) If you can and can, look for a cast that is physically almost the same as the original cast in the real world.

5) The original event should not be shown to be too similar to the real-world event, there should be modifications but still have the same intent and core.

6) Add a fake cast as a complement so that in the story not too much original cast.

7) Do not use real names, it is better to use their idol names or if you do not know to use your own idol name to make it easier to remember.

8) Give readers an understanding that it should not be consumed by the public when they ask about the original cast of the story. And,

9) Do not judge each cast for events that occur in the real world.

Note: It is all done so that later there will be no misunderstandings that can trigger debates with each other so that they slowly leave and end up disappearing without exchanging news.

"Plan first, success will follow."

"Where are you going?" safira asked as she watched Ava move out of the chair.

"You go to her class Agnes. Why?"

"Learn Ava, learn. You think all this time I didn't know that you were there just to see Alan? I know, Va. If you don't learn, when can you move on?"

Ava grinned the horse, it turns out that all this time Safira knew about it. The girl sat back down, safira handed her a piece of paper.

"This what?" He took the paper from Safira's hands.

"That's a vocal tutoring registration form. I've been looking for references on the internet, after I see, you seem to fit there. Besides the distance is not too far from the school, the price is affordable, and the place is very instagramable, there is also the most active training. One week five times. You can from Monday to Friday after school until 18:30, but that's if you want to learn, if not, yes, also no problem."

Ava was gawking happily not believing what Safira was doing for her. "You dong!" Hugged his friend tightly. "Thank you much. I'm sure I would."

Safira returned Ava's embrace. "Thank God if you want to. Where's my pay?"

Ava looked up at Safira cengo. "Huh?"

"It's not free. I went there on motorbike and gasoline." Safira paused his sentence and said, "No, kidding. Where can I be the same."

Ava hugged Sapphira again very tightly, Ava's happy face was back again. Safira was sure that the girl would really learn.

"Maudi, ko who paid ya," Revina chirped and followed a nod from the other five girls.

"Later you pay well. Kan, usually you also pay for us to eat, shop, and other treatments. Okay?"

Maudi just nodded with a smile, pressed the record button to stop, then put his phone in his pocket. Every day, every day Maudi always like that, precisely after making a deal with Ava, he began to carry out his mission.

Maudi looked up at Ava's table along with the other six friends in the corner, the girl smiled then raised one eyebrow with her mouth saying, "Give it" without a sound.

Ava who saw and understood what Maudi meant immediately turned the eyeball lazily accompanied by ruckus.

Seeing Ava who chuckles to herself makes Dino who is beside her to look at the look in Ava's eyes. In the end, the guy smiled sweetly when he knew that Ava's gaze was directed at his girlfriend.

Maudi who realized that Dino was looking at him with a smile only joined in staring then returned to the human woman in front of him.

***

Due to the agreement and agreement with Safira, Ava absolutely must not go to class X Ips 3 unless there is a very important. Even if they did, Ava would have to keep walking without looking or looking down at all, avoiding any contact with Alan anyway.

That's how Safira taught Ava to move on. At first it was very difficult, but assisted by Safira's direction, over time Ava became accustomed to doing this. Slowly the girl began to forget all her thoughts were fixed on Alan, even though he was aware and knew that he had not completely forgotten the guy.

So, during that time Ava never knew how Alan was after the agreement was agreed, because Safira also requested that Ava not ask all about Alan to anyone. And, if Ava violates, Safira's threat will actually occur.

How not to fear that Sapphira threatened never to be friends again with Ava when Ava broke the agreement, right, horrified. So, it's better for Ava to forget her love than to lose a friend she loves so much.

"Be careful!" yelled Ana, Agnes, and Sapphira together as Ava ran her bike out of the parking lot, the girl was going to her vocal lessons.

"Yes!" ava replied shouting.

It was only a few seconds after the three teenage girls were completely out of the school area.

***

Every day, if there is free time Ava is always looking for references to the technique of singing in various media or watching talent shows on television to catch up with her in the tutoring place.

Arguably, Ava is the weakest in terms of processing the sound and looking for techniques typical of singing, because he is relatively new in terms of permussi and has just entered a few weeks since registering. So, with a very strong determination and intention to add to it all, he had to learn self-taught at home.

The girl also did not forget to search and listen to various kinds of songs from various types of music genres so that her knowledge of music increased, besides that so she found the main genre of music that was right for her.

Realizing that, Ava always locked the door so that no one would disturb her while she was training. Kan, shame on the other friends that Ava continues to be at that point without developing.

***

Both girls are currently in a store that sells a variety of musical instruments.

"Right, you want this one?"

"Yes," Ava replied without the slightest hesitation.

"This is expensive."

"Udah, no papa. I still have money saved, which is important, right, I'm comfortable."

Safira only nodded slowly as an agreement. Whatever Ava chooses, Sapphira must like and agree for the girl's happiness.

Ava gave some money to Safira, the friend then headed to the cashier to pay. As long as Ava learned to sing, Sapphira was the most enthusiastic in supporting her. Whatever Ava needs is always Safira who prepares and who always accompanies her to and fro buying something.

After practicing vocals for approximately six months, now Ava is told to play an instrument as a singing motorcade. Thankful that Ava has been able to surpass her friends who used to always surpass her. Ava also hopes that he can continue to be better at living and playing musical instruments later. He also discovered his musical genre. Pop. Yes, it's the genre of music that Ava chose as the main genre in singing.

***

A teenage girl is in her room alone with a guitar on her lap. For days the girl did not understand what she learned at the tutoring place in playing the musical instrument.

Ava indeed outperformed and was quick to respond in playing vocals, but for his own musical instrument he was actually weak compared to others. There it is taught everything from how to play, hold, position fingers, read guitar beam notes, various techniques, and others. But, limited to teaching because not only Ava who needs to be taught, there are dozens of other children while the guidance teacher there are only ten.

"Where, huh? In the place of tutoring less understand, self-taught learning is also even more confused. If the tutoring of musical instruments again also add costs and add time too."

The girl paused for a moment to think about who could play the guitar and who was willing to teach him without spending a penny. There is only one name, Aras. As far as Ava is concerned, in addition to Aras who plays DJ tools, the guy is also a guitar player.

The foot of the girl who had been riding on the study chair was now lowered. "Do you ask for help from Aras? But it's not good either because it's been about eight months since there's no communication at all. Time suddenly comes keep asking for teaching? I'm ashamed, it's not necessarily brother Aras wants. Besides, Mr. Aras is also definitely preparing for UN in two months. Ck, how, huh?"

"Kak Aras now how, yes, how are you? She must be dating another girl now, later if I get scolded by her boyfriend how? Sis Aras must also hate me because at that time I refused him raw, but if not the same Kak Aras who else? I don't know anyone else anymore, and if you ask for help from friends it's not good because I've taken too much of them."

Ava stared at a paper stuck on the wall on her study table. "Write? When's nulis?"

Ava ruffled her hair in frustration. "Aarrgghhh! Don't think about it Ava! Think of what happened now!"

...***...

...Whoa! Suddenly it had been six months, not felt, yes, that long Ava never communicate or relate to Alan again at all, and just the same focus on learning the world of school and the world of music that is now again in the girl's role....

...Roughly, Ava could not, yes, move on from, Alan after everything he did?...

...And, what is Ava's next move?...

...If Ava goes to Aras, about Aras would not, huh?...

...Or maybe the taste of Aras for Ava has disappeared?...
