Love of Antarctica
Chapter 7
So Lembayung's on the way home up what?
Two large plastic bags were brought in Totok pack into the house. Bi Tama passed it on into Lemba's room. The house was used to being quiet, Lemba returned alone waiting for the return of her parents. He opened the plastic bag, took it out one by one and put it on his desk.
He also questioned who the prankster who put the most frogs in his school desk drawer. The perpetrators that Dendra said were Fiza and Rara, still thinking it was impossible for him.

“Halo, yes Ra what is it?”
“Halo Lembayung, I'm in front of your house nih.”
“Log in a minute later I get off the room.”
Arla brings Lemba's book of assignments and makes important notes on the PR sheet today. He said school tomorrow in liburkan. Cleaning the entire classroom is done evenly. The principal investigated who the mastermind of the commotion was. Arla holds back the sentence of a secret that was actually the purpose for her coming. He hides, fearing that Lemba will not believe him or be in a big fight at school.
“Temba, I suggest you move seats deh.”
“What's on my bench?”
“MMm__ yes where good are you. I'm just a suggestion. Oh yes you have cleaned up yet, I just took a shower up to three times.”
“Already, I'm just wondering why there are so many frogs in my drawer.”
“Actually I heard the talk of Rara and Fiza. They seem to be the masterminds of all this. From now on you should be careful with them Lembayung.”
“What? Fiza! I didn't think he was that bad.”
“Don't tell me that I delivered this yes__”
Pretending good friends who in fact want to drop, act subtly to cheat him and become thorns in the flesh. In every smile that turned out to hold grudges and envy saw the thing he wanted to achieve like that person.
“Thanks a lot Arla. Be careful on the road.”
“Dahh.”
......................
Mr. Des looks busy preparing for their departure tomorrow. Things that must be brought during the move are placed in a large suitcase. Ms. Surat is still putting clothes in her bag, she is being helped by the Jahs. Half mind branched, heavy leaving Kinan.
“How to persuade the child to stay?” mummy Letter.
“Mbok please call Kinan yes.”
Sitting alone on the balcony, Surat rubbed Kinan's back and hugged his son. He must have missed Kinan's spoiled nature so much, his presence calling him mother or his calling asking where the thing he was looking for was.
“You take good care of yourself as long as father and mother go yes. Anyway you should__ hiks”
His cry because it could not stand the tears that were dripping. Kinan was determined to stay apart to finish school but his mother's heart remained unsettled leaving her own son. Kinan lowered his head to apologize, he felt like an ungodly child.
“Sorry Kinan yes bu.”
“Nothing. You don't forget all mom's messages yes.”
Today's departure was filled with the cry of the Letter ma'am who was not stopping to shed tears. Kinan waved to his family.
......................
“Why are you so moody? I heard from mom that today your family is leaving for overseas.”
“Yes, I just dropped them off.”
“Nothing, better to finish school here. Oh yes I want to know about the troublemaker who bothers Lembayung.”
“You mean Fiza and Rara? I plan to see them tomorrow.”
“We just wait for him in front of the school gate.”
The conversation continued while playing the play station. Tonight Kinan is staying at Dendra's house. While waiting for news from his parents, he sat on the terrace fiddling with the screen of the phone holding back calling Lembayung. Missed his best friend's voice. One day not meeting made him worried and curious how he was.

My dear child. Husni's mother, father and brother have arrived. Don't forget to eat there.

“How about Za if we get caught carrying all those frogs?”
“Not possible. I paid twice as much as the security guard, he also made sure the school was quiet. But if anyone knows, stay not. Where's proof!”
“Huffhtt, I heard footsteps last night in class. Someone must have spied on us before Za!”
“Ah it's just your feeling Ra. Don't be afraid, let me handle it myself.”
Right in the morning, the school is back active from the one-day holiday period. The classes looked cleaner as well as the grounds. The smell of burnt garbage scraps of frog carcasses smelled rancid in the air. Fiza and Rara's footsteps stopped when Kinan and Dendra's hands blocked them from entering.
“Wait, we want to talk for a minute.”
They were pulled to the back of the school building. The eyes of the two wore angry expressions. Rara who was panicking was ready to scream for help if something happened to the two of them. Despite being so angry to see her, they never wanted to flirt or be rude with women. Both of them only showed angry faces.
“Za, try to explain to us. Why did you put dozens of frogs in Lembayung's drawer?” ask Dendra.
“Hah I?” asked Fiza pretending to be innocent while pointing at herself.
“Yes! You and Rara!” bentak Kinan's.
“You guys are so happy to accuse me!”
“So you don't want to say Za?”
“Now we call the police Ndra.”
“Eh wait!”
Fiza ran following Kinan and Dendra's steps, Rara ran behind while holding back her fear. They stopped right in front of Lembayung's desk. It was as if Kinan and Dendra had coded for him to admit his mistake in front of Lembayung.
“I didn't do anything. Why are you accusing me without proof? Want to report me to the police without proof is tantamount to defamation!”
With a hard heart and arrogant attitude he turned his back on them. He pulls Rara's hand away from the classroom. After Arla's arrival yesterday afternoon, Lembayung so know that his own countryman the ringleader. But he did not want to magnify the problem in front of his two best friends.
“Ih very same sprain Lembayung! You don't see Ra's innocent pretentious face that actually wins in the same two boys! I want her hair!”
“I was so scared, Za we have to stop first deh ngerjain the Lembayung. After this incident surely they are more vigilant.”
“Mmhh, let me carry out the next plan myself. I will make Lembayung not at home school here. He must continue to buy lessons so as not to be pretentious!”
Fiza thought of a more refined next plan. He also has to keep pretending to be nice to Lembayung so that Kinan and Dendra don't hate him.
