15. Lunar and New Habits
EVER SINCE the events that happened in the toilet between me and Lunar, our relationship has been getting better. We can make friends at school, at the dumbbell, and at organizations. In fact, it is not uncommon for Lunar to send me funny videos based on his sense of humor to me, most of which he got from tiktok. I once questioned the Lunar reason why he sent me those short videos. And the answer was so out of common sense, he gave me one reason for not having the app.
Sometimes I am quite disturbed by the absurdity of Lunar who litter in whatsapp so often he is at the top of the chat list on the device. However, many times I was made to laugh against stomach tickling because of contracting a fad Lunar sense of humor. Without me noticing lately the videos that he sent became one of my own entertainment to just breathe one long breath in the midst of a tiring routine.
“Lo have seen the video I sent yet?” ask Lunar as we walk hand in hand towards Barisfer Academy.
“Again?” I'm half in disbelief considering today he's already sent me some videos.
“Yes, an hour ago I sent! Later if you try to see, deh! Funny to know!” he said, without looking at me because he had to focus on looking ahead.
“Kanya lo lately addicted joget-joget application that, deh! Inget! You should be able to drawin the time you make up your value as well, Nar!” my suggestion, with no intention of patronizing the Lunar.
“Iya, yes. I'm lacking, deh!”
“Keep up to when do we pretend not to know in school?” concluded I who would not be able to hold it again to nest on the tip of the tongue. “If you think this is the second time we pretend not to know rich gini, right?”
As a friend, I can't help Lunar any further over the problems he's been facing. I know reporting to the teacher is also not necessarily the best solution that will be Lunar harvest, considering we are not students of Taman Kanak-Kanak who are prohibited from doing something then just according to it. There is no guarantee if they are deterred when they get a reprimand. Not to mention bully not only they can do in school. Therefore, I tried to understand Lunar's request that he try to solve his own problem by quietly keeping a close eye on him from afar without Lunar noticing.
“Maybe until we are third grade? As if at that time I was more willing to volunteer with them because they are not upperclassmen!” said Lunar, even at a time like this he can still show off a row of clean teeth.
“So, who hit you back then was upperclassman?” tanyaku, finding the implied meaning behind the Lunar words.
“Mean I can't tell you what else the teacher is about that. I don't want them to have problems that make them fail to receive a graduation letter and even next year can-can meet again with me.”
I don't know why I'm laughing at the ridiculous reason for the Lunar. Just now this tribe was about to meet due to the Lunar goodness that did not want to make the people who bullied him exposed to scandal. However, that intention was instantaneous for the biggest reason the Lunar didn't want to see them again for next year.
“Then get excited until next week! He said next week his graduation letter was out! So you don't have to wait another two months!”
