Love of Antarctica
The acting
The red white one fluttered in the blue sky. The singing of the national anthem, the speeches of the Pembina rite and other ceremonial ordinances. Fiza purposely marched behind Lema, she was already preparing to prank Lemba. On the count of three, Fiza dropped her body pretending to faint pulling Lemba's skirt to shreds.
“Arggh.”
“That's Fiza fainting, quickly help.”
“Fiza!”
Hysterical cries made a scene, the leader of the line prepared to return to calm after Fiza was lifted to the UKS. Lemba's face was red extinguished, fortunately today she was wearing a white shirt and black leggings. The rips made the curves of his body visible to the other students.
From a distance Kinan saw a tired Lemba covering his back body, he ran over to pick up his jacket and help cover.
“Do not panic, keep walking” whispered Kinan.
......................
This morning was heard by Dendra. Although today he did not enter school, but Dendra assigned Tomi classmates to help see all the developments in the school, especially the state of Lembayung.
“Dendra, I think this incident is on purpose.”
“I also think like that. Thanks for the info.”
“Ya hope you get well soon.”
Rules and rules at school are a student's promise. But the rules can be broken by students who secretly carry a cell phone to play it in class or at recess. On the roof of the school Tomi closes the screen of the phone and then deactivates it again. Seeing Kinan coming from the direction of the door, he drew a slight smile and went through it.
“I saw you brought your phone, aren't you afraid of the Wakasek raid?”
“Just relax, I use it for important things only. You do not know Indonesian teachers never forbid us to use mobile phones in class. In between the final lesson, sometimes we watch the movie Train to Busan.”
“Ahahah. Yes I heard it. In contrast to Frau Turnip who must be perfect in all tasks and called cruel teacher.”

Inside the UKS, Berta checked Fiza two more with a stethoscope and took the thermometer she had tucked away.
“Everything is normal, you haven't had breakfast huh?” ask Berta's mom.
“Heh, not yet bu.”
“Amang tahhe. Basic children today males take care of their own health. Now finish this bread, drink its warm water and take a short break.”
“Thank you so much mom Berta.”
The aged UKS officer left her. He had to get scolding to cover up his lies. Rara came to see him sitting on the bed. He shook his head and pinched his cheek.
“So bad for you Za, joking delay limit.”
“Sick! Let that be the cupu girl's lesson!” said Fiza.
“Luck your acting is not appreciated!”
“Quietly, I have prepared it for a long time. Ahahah.”
Joking laughter rang out Berta ma'am as she walked into the UKS room again. He folded both hands glaring at the sight of the two.
“Aigo Yamang (Jeez) eh butet! You are healthy already. Don't fuss here, hurry you guys back to class!”
......................
Today's extracurricular activities made Kinan unable to drive Lemba home. Before entering the karate class, he waited for the driver to pick Lema up in front of the school gate.
“Udah I'm okay Nan. Stay away, you will miss class. Your clothes have not been changed” said Lemba.
“You sure? I don't want you to do anything else.”
Fiza and Rara walk past them, Fiza's face pretends like a dying man holding her head in Rara's aid.
“It's better. Nan, I hitchhiked you home today huh. Lemba, you don't mind, do you?”
“Not at all. But you must be waiting for Kinan Karate.”
“Nothing kok.”
Kinan did not answer or approve. He glanced at Lemba, in reply to Lemba's nod with a smile.
“Be careful let me know if you're home. Oh yes later in the afternoon I invite you to visit Dendra” said Kinan without caring about Rara and Fiza.
“Ya___”
“Gaiis we come with dong!” said Fiza cut off the conversation.
“Loh, but you are sick again Za, how is the story come with us?” ask Kinan suspiciously.
“You know Nan, this Fiza type of person can't bear to hear other people sick even though she herself is sick.”
Rara pleaded so that the cover of her friend was not revealed. He nudged Fiza's hand giving a code so she could justify her words. The woman seemed too ambitious to enter interfering with Lembayung's life.
“So much as you guys.”
......................
Rara and Fiza waited for Kinan under the tree while leaning on the bench. He observed the man's good looks were the same as Dendra's good-looking basketball player. He imagined that being in the middle of them replaced the position of Lemba the little girl they had always approached.
“What are the advantages of Lemba so that the two handsome men are like stamps to her?” mumbles Fiza.
“Za, watch your eyeballs popped do not blink see Kinan!” said Rara.
Fiza propped up her cheeks with her hands. He was still busy looking at all the movements that were fixed on the handsome man. Thinking of how to separate Kinan or Dendra from Lembayung, he also still finds out who sent the mysterious letter. The chocolate in can seem to crowd the drawers.
“Means in total there are three men who like the Lemba. This third man made me curious. Is he also as handsome as them?”
Without feeling it, Kinan was already standing beside her. He waved in front of Fiza's face.
“Come home” take Kinan.
“Eheh, I mostly daydream. My head is also dizzy. Ra, we go first. Bye!” fiza was very enthusiastic.
Inside the splat, Fiza wrapped her hands around Kinan's waist and buried her face in his back. Kinan looked uneasy, he moved a little further forward then let go of Fiza's hand .
“Nan, I'm afraid of falling. My head is so dizzy.”
With a heavy heart Kinan let Fiza back hug him from behind. He drove the vehicle slower because he was worried that Fiza would fall.

“Why is that manyun?” ask Brother Husni.
“Nnothing brother. Oh yes, which mother?”
“Mmmhh said he wanted to live independently. How to go home from school directly ask mom?”
“Kakak don't do it dong. I'll feel guilty”
“Mother here__”
They had lunch together, a special warm meal always cooked Surat without relying on the workers. He was very attentive to the health of his children. Vegetable lodeh, green tilapia sauce and Kinan's favorite squid stew on the dining table.
“You two don't eat a little later mom gets angry.”
“Husni add ma'am. If Kinan deliberately diet after we stay later should be able to __”
“Have not bothered your sister like that.”
