Chapter 11 A Celebration


Returnees


into the present, sleepiness begins


I nodded, slowly watching


Elena who started to close her eyes in front of the TV.


I


get up from my couch and carry her to my room, as I look at my phone and see


a notification from the publisher's office.


Immediate


I opened the notification, and how


happy me, see the notice


that my novel will be published soon. This is my job as


a writer, all inspirations


my writing always I get from people – people around me.


My age


no longer young, but excited


and my story always makes me feel young, I guess – thought that's how I always felt.


Immediate


I called the publisher's office, and


make an appointment with them tomorrow. Slowly I headed


my room, and I saw one book at a time –


my published novel, I was focused on one of my novel books called Pesta


Small, arrived – just arrived I remembered


back to memories with friends – friends during my school first.


In spite of


this sleepiness is true – really strikes me great, but happy news for book publishing


my novel was enough to bring me back


shine brightly, and expel the taste


very sleepy.


Start off


I reopened my book, and


I scratched my pen reminding me of the Little Party that I once had


celebrate with Rian and friends – my best friends first.


Period


school holidays are over, now all


return to normal life.


Morning


that's Rian calling me, that he's gonna


I went to school, but I


I refused because I wanted to leave


school used my bike, anyways


during the school holidays my bike was just parked neatly in the garage.


Without


to my knowledge, from behind Rian


chasing me on a bike too.


“ Gosh, you ride a bike too Yan ?” much


with a surprised tone.


“ Yes, after you ride a bike anyway, I became cool.” Answer


Rian with joy


Our


also in the end leave school together with our bicycles – each


each, but even so, our school is different distance, my school is a little further than the school


Rian, we finally split up


the Rian school.


Arriving


at school, I was surprised


the crowd of – children in front of the school, Silvy ran up to me who had just arrived.


“ Lin, your name goes to Lin.” list Word


Silvy.


I also


still confused, what list


meant by Silvy, without me asking


again to Silvy, I went right along


moving forward in school.


Turns out


it was the announcement of idol group selection in our city, where each – schools


recommend the name – the name of the student who will follow the selection, my name is listed in the list, there are 8 students registered by


school, and I was one of them,


I


who felt inappropriate for the audition, immediately met Ghea's mother teacher, because of the representative's responsibility


our school is Ghea's mother.


Moms


Ghea explained to me that I


feeling worthy and able to carry out the task, Ghea's mother hoped that I could give


best for my school's good name.


Group


The idol will be big, and will have a positive impact on each member, as Mother Ghea said


to me.


Over


trust that, inevitably I have to


ready, even though I'm still


I doubt whether I can and can, while I myself am not a typical person who is proficient in art.


Silvy


and Monica gave me some spirit, and


they were right – right wish I could pass and successfully audition


those.


“ I hope, my name is what is written


Lin, but my name isn't on


situ, how lucky you are Lin, come Lin don't disappoint us.” Yakap


Silvy to me


“ I'm not really either


expecting my name there Sil, Yaudah anyway I try my best yes.”


“ Well donk Lin, anyway you are great, smart, smart, beautiful and good deh.”


“ Ah usual just know Sil, you are diligent, beautiful, diligent worship and diligent save.”


Seen


the joy on our faces joked with each other, my friendship with Silvy and Monic was indeed


not just any friendship, we


we've been friends since we were in elementary school.


Doorbell


the school went off, and I and the other seven students were called to the office


the principal by Bu Yani, he


he is our vice principal.


Her


provide some information to us, related to the Idol group selection


it looked like it was lined up next to me


and their talent, certainly far away


once with me who didn't like to hang out.


Bu


Yani began to pass on us according to the origin of our class.


“ Good, mother absent according to the origin of each class – masigm

“ Yes bu.” Answer

“ Yes mom, present.” Answer


brother Celyne


Sis


Celyne is a twelve year old student full of achievements, her person is beautiful, clean white and also a


model, her father is German


while her mother is of Arab descent, so how beautiful sister Celyne must be, she will pass this selection easily.


Fuji


Alina Sayaka, yes that is my name, maybe everyone will think that I am


I am from Japan, but my mother is from Japan, although I was not born in


Japanese, but rather than my name being called


Sayaka, I'd better be called in


Alina, I was called


sayaka's name, but I don't think so


comfortable with that name, as if – as I am


different from my other friends.


Moms


Yani gave a brief briefing to us, about the purpose of the idol group selection was held, however we who passed, will represent our school and city as


ambassadors to be sent to the Japanese sakura country, of course, this is a challenge


for all of us.


Tak


forgot I told Rian, that I


will follow the idol group selection, Rian


looks happy to hear the news, even he thinks it is suitable for – people like me.


Conforms


with the schedule set, we gathered at the school, and


depart to the audition place using a vehicle held by


school.


So


at the audition, how


I was surprised to see the audition participants who were beautiful and


stunning appearance with a considerable amount, each – each school sends representatives


best of. I got my queue number, which is number 356, you can imagine how many participants participated


selection at the event.


Our


all in the selection with several stages, until finally there is a top 50 and only the best 24 will pass


representing our city, selection began,


there were about 700 participants at that time.


Arriving


it was my turn to audition, so pounding


– heart palpitations while in front of the jury examiner, I was also in the test told to sing and


dancing, besides that I was questioned


about some general knowledge matters, the jury who was interested in my name, then casually asked me in Language


Japanese, I answered spontaneously


in Japanese too, because


at home we often use Japanese in day life –


day, let alone my brother, his face, name and accent are still thick Japanese, it's because my brother was born in


Jjapanese.


I also


explaining that my mother was deceased, is


a native Japanese man who married my father who was a doctor, and it turned out that the jury was questioning me


is a native Japanese, his name is Mr


Yoshigawa Watanabe, then the jury


I asked my mother's name, too


my late mother's name was Yukari Megumi.


Time


walking so fast, without feeling


already in the top 50 phase, all


audition participants were gathered by the committee, and began to be announced the name – names that passed the round of 50, I was surprised when the names Tiara, Lyla and


Janet was called by the jury and entered the round of 50, apparently they also auditioned.


Approaching


the last participant who qualified for the round of 50, arrived – arrived Mr. Yoshigawa small run towards the jury, it turns out my name is listed into 50


big, it was just upside down


mention my name, of course I


surprised to mix haru.


Tiaras


who then realized that it was me, rushed to run and hugged me tightly, but only realized that I was too


following the idol group selection event.


“ Congratulations Lin, I just found out that you auditioned too


lho.”


“ I also just found out that you are too


follow Ra.”


Janet


and Lyla then comes following, a small party arrives – just to happen, a small surprise from the jury to


the top 50 participants will get a free holiday opportunity to the park


safari, and will get training


especially for the next selection.


Only


I'm the one who escaped representing my school, and


it turns out that sister Celyne did not even qualify for the round of 50.
