Liebe Zu Maiza's
Duck Voice

What happens if your best friend has 99 percent self-esteem and 1 percent shame?

________

Joining a vocal organization at school is not easy. Tight selection. Only students who really have talent and good voice characters can pass the selection.

New recruits prepare to show their abilities. Up ahead there already sits Ms. Mirah as the person in charge of this organization. Beliu who will assess the prospective members who deserve to join. The rows of several seats behind him were filled by the organization's administrators. Some of the seats are still empty.

It turns out that the interest of this organization is quite a lot, more than a hundred prospective members. I don't know exactly how much more, which is obviously over a hundred. Though that will be accepted as a member of only twenty-five people.

One by one, the candidates for the show of ability. Fall Flowers created by Ismail Marzuki and Maria Carey's My All must be sung well in order to pass the selection, essentially do not be embarrassed.

Nyaliku immediately heard the voice and vocal abilities of prospective members. Many golden voices, already deserving of Indonesian Idol, Bu Mirah must work hard to choose the worthy.

Some members are also not worthy. Many people like to sing but do not sing well. It is even more appropriate to sing in the bathroom to comfort germs. It turns out there are still people who are too confident showing off their voices that are like duck sounds about to mate.

Daniza and Ayu enjoyed this very much. Ayu's ripples of admiration are always visible if anyone can reach a high note without screeching. Especially Daniza, she reached her eyes closed while moving her mouth following the song verse. Especially if you can achieve a high tone smoothly, his expression is very convincing like a professional singer.

I doubt Daniza's singing ability. Ever since I've been friends with him, I've never heard him sing. If the expression animates as it does now, it has often. Especially if in the cafeteria, he will do the same thing while occasionally sipping drinks.

My doubts increased, considering when the class served as the executor of the ceremony. Daniza should have joined the group of singers instead of being a reader of the Basic Law of 1945.

When it was Ayu's turn, he came forward hesitatingly. His smile wryly when greeted by Bu Mirah. Ayu start. There was doubt that came with his voice. His face was a little pale. Maybe he was nervous. But it started, long ago Ayu could finally sing with relaxation. Ayu's voice is good. Got a character despite falling in on a high note.

When the singing was complete, he immediately descended with a relieved smile.

"Za, how was that?" Let the touch of the ladder cool. It seems nervous to control him.

I raised two thumbs up to kill his doubt.

"You must practice a lot on high voices, Yu!" timpal Daniza relax. "So you're almost out of voice at a high note" he continued.

Hearing Daniza's comments, my doubts disappeared.He knew Ayu's weakness. Maybe he has a golden voice but hides it because he does not want the golden sound to be targeted by cold-blooded record producers.

Daniza's name has a turn. He stood up while waving to other participants like an artist who will receive the Amy Award trophy. Koruu echoed, as a result of his behavior Bu Mirah chuckled.

The roar of the participants vanished as Daniza was already standing in front. His eyes were very convincing. She had a confident smile she threw.

"Ehmmm .. ehmmm." He opened his appearance with those two words.

Daniza started singing. More and more kor uuu. Kor uuu it's getting boisterous.

Jeez ... Daniza's voice turned out to be far from expected. He has a high level of confidence but confidence is not enough. For a singer, vocal ability, singing techniques and sound color are the initial capital. Lah, Daniza is confident to be the initial capital, the level of the voice of the duck class. Exactly the sound of a duck clamping the door screeching. Actually silence for Daniza is gold.

Critical stage four when Daniza entered the second song. His english is a mess. Speakers of English caliber Tantowi Yahya also difficult to translate English Daniza blepotan. But it was Daniza who was cuek duck despite the sound like a duck moan, He continued to sing without paying attention to anyone, he was busy himself completing his song.

I saw Bu Mirah shaking his head. The other manager was uprooted to hold his stomach, but was upset. My feelings are mixed up seeing it. It is funny, it is funny, it is said to be annoying indeed annoying.

After finishing, Daniza came down. A satisfied smile accompanied his steps, he had done extraordinary things in his life. Scorn and mockery he doesn't care. He remained relaxed until he sat back in his place.

"Za, Yu, what's my voice?" tanyanya is confident.

A wry smile is the answer.

"I'm sure, after that performance, Ms. Mirah will take me into account." a proud smile closed her words.

Kulirik Ayu who covered her mouth. I think what Ayu thinks is the same as my "severe" thoughts".

Daniza is indeed severe, the only brave human shame that is still preserved on this earth. This brilliant idea actually came from the bottom of his heart, 'Bid sing me thrashing about wanting to join this vocal organization, ' he said as he watched the announcement of the school's vocal organization opening new member registration.

At first I didn't want to, but Daniza kept persuading. Ayu also influenced him. I said many times that my voice was not good. I love music and I love to sing but I don't deserve to be a vocal player. I'm far from it.

After Daniza appeared it turned out that many were worse. Many students just want to go viral and be known in a shameful way. I must honestly admit that among those who sound duck there are still many who have extraordinary voices including Ayu. As for me, I'm here just for following the wishes of Daniza and Ayu, the two people who care about me in this school.

"Maiza Kartika!"

I got a turn. A quick bang hit my entire chest cavity. Grieving the pain of stomach and chest, my stomach mules heard the name called.

I'm standing. All eyes were on me, as were the other participants. Weight of foot stepping. It's all because Daniza forced it. Maybe after this I will disappear viral in school, spotty women who have zero achievement guts.

Turning my eyes to Ms. Mirah, her smile gave me hope. I stepped forward, just two steps suddenly someone opened the door, and immediately sat behind Bu Mirah.

I didn't see it wrong. My eyes are not myopic. They are Azmi, Afni and her friend who likes that symmetrical smile.

Azmi's gaze was sharp. There was anger that he showed me. Both of his friends did too. Afni's bright face turned dark when she saw me standing in front.

God, my knees are shaking. I think I want to run away from this place. Wherever there were no gazes from the three men.

"Please start Maiza!" the orders of Mrs Mirah.

I was still silent, trying to gather a scattered sense of confidence. The yelling of uuu began to sound. The audience began to get impatient, some raising their thumbs upside down. Uuu's screams are getting boisterous. From behind Bu Mirah I caught a triumphant smile from Azmi and her friend. Self-confidence is getting far away.

"Please start Maiza!" the Bu Mirah.
