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.

“ Yes mom, present.” Answer

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.
