Ode To Latitude
Escape from Les's Place


“Later wait Aunt pick up ya” said Bi Nina dropped off Mia in front of the tutoring spot.


Mia nodded as she performed salim on Bi Nina's hand.


Bi Nina took out her motorcycle leaving the tutoring place of her employer's daughter.


Ten minutes later, Mia left the tutoring spot. Mia passed through an alley beside a tutoring place that happened to be connected to a residential resident.


Mia arrives in front of a sports hall that is among the residents' housing.


“Good afternoon” Mia said with a smile.


“Let's go in” said Wahyu the owner of the sports building.


Mia joined four other children who were practicing badminton and began training.


“Main use racket, do not use book” scold Revelation on a little girl who


patting the pocket with a folded notebook.


Wahyu was queuing up to buy a fry that was next to Mia's English tutoring. He was attracted to little girls who played alone. That little girl


very happy, when he managed to maintain the lock to keep bouncing.


Mia stopped her play, as she heard the reprimand.Showed a middle-aged man came over to her.


“Here I teach how to hit correct”


Mia handed over the kock and her book to Revelation, and then Revelation began to practice how to hit the kock.


“If you don't have a racket, finish the tutoring stop at the father's place. The sports building is not far from here” invites Revelation to Mia.


Mia somewhat sanctions listening to the call of Revelation. Her mother always told her not to trust her easily


a stranger.


Mia does not respond to what the Revelation says, but rather asks back the kock and book that the revelation still holds.


On the next lesson schedule, Wahyu comes carrying a racket, because Mia does not appear in her gym building and teaches Mia to play badminton.


“Pak Wahyu, Wednesday and Friday I teach English here”, Mia told her lesson schedule in Revelation at their umpteenth meeting.


“You like Badminton?” question Revelation


“Iya. But mom said I can't”


“Papa you canin?” ask Revelation again.


“Don't have papa. Said mama papa is in a place far”


Revelation laughs. He thought the girl's mother must be lying. How can someone who says they don't have, then says they're somewhere far away.


“Since tutoring you to my place, many are training there”


After the lesson, Wahyu fulfilled his promise to pick up Mia and train in her gym.


Mia who initially only trained for a while, felt that her practice time was not enough.


Mia escapes from English lessons and practices at Wahyu's sports hall.


Revelation of course did not expect that the girl's tutoring schedule had changed. She did not suspect the slightest when Mia always came on time in practice hours.


“Service you are still wrong. Learning service first followed another”, said Wahyu when he saw Mia trying to punch service.


Revelation is watching the development of Mia. The child was among the slowest to catch an explanation, compared to a child his age who trained in the building.


It is Mia's passion to keep learning, which makes Revelation focus on developing Mia's talents.


Revelation thinks maybe Mia's mother factor forbids her from playing badminton, plus


again Mia only practiced once every two weeks, progressing to move into the material


the next exercise becomes longer.


“Service is the most basic thing that all badminton players should know. If you fail to serve you will never win from your opponents”, Revelation reminds Mia.


“Tittt..titt.tiit” alarm watch Mia beep. It was time for her to be picked up by Bi Nina.


Mia immediately parted and returned to the tutoring place.
