Section 102: Ganding 2
THREE YEARS AGO
“Hey, hey, hey.” Ganding looked back, when he was only 6 years old, he had just entered elementary school for a few months, but after school there must be someone who likes to call but does not know who.
Ganding always comes home late because he likes to read books, from the age of three years Ganding can already read, he includes genius children, his hobby is reading.
The banding continues its way towards the school gate.
Brak!!!
The classroom door behind him slammed, he was quite surprised because his voice was quite loud.
“Who is it?!” his yell.
Ganding stopped his steps, at this point, he also knew that there was another natural world, but was not too sure.
Ganding walked towards the door slammed earlier, he just wanted to make sure. His steps were slow but directional, after arriving at that class, there was no one in that class, empty, like the other classes he had passed through.
He retreated slowly, in his heart he began to ask, what was that, what was a ghost? he immediately stopped his curiosity and hurried back to walk home, just a few steps away, but all the doors ended up being slammed in turns each time he finished passing, on the third door he grew curious, what was it, why was it as if it was deliberately slammed after he passed by, was definitely whatever it was, the intent was to attract his attention.
“Who are you?! what do you want?!” Banding screaming.
The wind was blowing quite hard, the air became very cold, Ganding to shudder.
“Gannnn .. nddinggg ...,” Call that voice. Who out of nowhere, his voice was soft and raspy.
The banding turned around trying to find who was looking for him. Empty, there's no one.
“Whatever you are, if you want to talk, show yourself!” Challenging ganding.
Silence, there's still no one.
“If you don't want to show yourself, then it's not my fault for ignoring you!” Ganding walked, but suddenly there was a stone that was hit on his leg, he squatted first because it was quite sick, when looking back, because of the direction of the stone from behind, because of the direction of the stone from behind, it is certain that he hit the stone from behind, but again no one, he looked back to the front and ….
“Gosh!” Banding backwards spontaneously, there was a large height, his entire body was covered with fur up to the face, he was wearing a black cloth as a shirt, the figure was quite tall, he was very tall, Ganding was shocked to never see a human in such a display.
“You're not human, are you?” after successfully handling his shock, Ganding asked.
The creature walked up to Ganding, after being close, he leaned over and brought his face closer to Ganding.
“Bau, can you back off a little.” Ganding is notoriously not easily scared.
The creature snorted then retreated and stood in front of Ganding again, indeed smelling a pretty sharp rancid smell as the creature approached.
Ganding stand back, “You want what?” ask again.
The creature was just pointing at Ganding.
“You want me? I can't, I'm a human, you know what, I'll look for first in the book yes, so don't ask for things I can't give.” Ganding then walked past the creature, while the creature was following him.
“You why follow?” Ganding protested, he was worried that if the creature came home, he would be scolded by his mommy.
The car was parked, Ganding approached his car and the driver was already in the car.
“Pak, sorry yes I'm late.” Ganding is indeed someone who is polite, although very hard and principled at his age which is still very young.
“Lah, she's coming.” Ganding.
“Why?” Driver asked.
“Loh why ...”
[Looks like the driver didn't see the creature.] Ganding said in his heart, because the driver did not ask at all once the hairy creature entered the car and sat in the back.
“Why Mr Ganding?”
“Nothing sir, let's go home, I have a tutoring schedule at home.”
“Iya Mister,” replied the driver, then he drove the car home.
Ganding has reached home, the creature is still following him, Ganding wants to expel, but there is a curious feeling that makes Ganding more curious, actually what the hell this creature, actually, no one can see it but Ganding, meaning it is safe, mommy and daddy won't be angry, for not being able to see it, but he has to be careful when talking to the furry creature.
“You have a name?” Ganding asked. He was now already in the library after tutoring with the call tutoring teacher, he asked the creature, the creature was just silent and standing in front of him.
“Don't answer, means I'll give you a name, because it'll be easier for us to communicate if we know each other's names, how about the Fur? you don't mind, do you?”
The creature still did not answer, therefore Ganding began to search for books about other worlds, it turned out that there, at the very back of this library, must be Ganding eyesya who used to collect these books, he said, visible from the dust so much because it is rarely read and cleaned, indeed the range is quite difficult, which is located in the library cabinet at the back and top.
“Should they clean up these precious books, I don't mind if they miss the others, but never miss these books.” Banding was still trying to take the book, but it could not because his body was small and the closet was very high, in this library there is a ladder that can be shifted to pick up the book, and there is a ladder that can be shifted to pick up the book, unfortunately still can not reach the book, if you ask for help Waiter, Lazy Banding, Waiter here the complainant, surely mommy will know, if Ganding read a strange book.
Without a request, the Fur picked up a book that Ganding wanted to read, if anyone came in and saw this, it must have floated because the book was picked up by the invisible yak.
“Thank you, I'll look up about you in some of these books, can you calm down right? actually it will be easier for you to express directly your wishes, but you do not seem to be unable to talk, can not or do not want?” Ganding asked. But, still not answered.
Ganding down from the library stairs and sitting on one of the existing couches to read, he opened page by page, the book was titled ‘Makuh Mitos Tanah Jawa volume 1’.
There were a great many creatures reviewed, but he had not yet discovered the same traits as the ones he saw today.
Already in volume two, he still did not find the creature, until finally he stopped on page seven hundred and twenty-eight, Gendruwo.
The night was coming, Ganding was still busy reading, then the library door was knocked, a waiter called and said that dinner was ready.
“I eat first yes, I need someone else to discuss, which is definitely not Mommy or Daddy, can be removed from one of the inheritance holders if I get to discuss you, you know, you know, I need money for all my hobbies, let alone I want a very high school,” Ganding chattered. His adult thinking is sometimes too realistic, the child's delusion never colors his mind, he always looks at everything in sharp logic glasses, he said, some people say it's wisdom but others say it's radical thinking and it's not yet time.
“You wait in my room yes, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm talking to you and finally they know I'm talking to the invisible.”
The creature came out following Ganding and he went to Ganding's room.
“Again read what the hell is you? ampe forgot time.”
“Most algebra or other science books, those boring books.” The older sister who was the second child was teasing him.
“It's not a boring book, but it's a heavy book, for you.” Ganding is the hardest to play, let alone fathom.
“Not to be arrogant let alone genius, you know, if the genius child, do not have temen.”
As usual, dinner will be decorated with the chatter of a very warm family, although filled with quarrels, but all love each other.
“Try to tell me, what is the relationship between not having any friends and genius?”
“Nih gini relation ...”
“Nih you want what side dish?” Mommy asked.
“Semur aja Mom, continue, I want to know how far your analysis of it.” Ganding asked her brother to continue his words.
“If you are a genius, you will jump class, if in kindergarten you may not be able to jump class, but in kindergarten you also have no friends at that time, because too soon you learn something, it's proof that you don't have any friends, because your heavy and fast way of thinking is not much to understand about it or even can compensate you, it's just kindergarten, later if now in SD, then, you just learned a few months right, if the time comes your teacher overwhelmed to teach you to catch too soon, too soon, he will usulin to mommy same daddy to jump class and it will be hell for you.”
“Why can it be?” Ganding is calm.
“Yes because you will not be comfortable with people who are older than you, their discussion is above you, I am not talking about academics, yes, but I'm talking about life outside of academics, you will not connect and eventually regret because it is too genius.l”
“It makes sense Brother, but my question, from where do you know it as if you are running it, whereas, you are not a genius.” A crushing blow from Ganding, with just that one sentence alone, his brother lost.
“Heh! Genius pretentious kid, I'm not a genius, but it makes sense right?”
“Caused,” says Ganding. He also feeds her.
“Yaudah do not need to be pretentious genius again yes.”
“No, I will not be pretentious genius .. because I am a genius, why belagak?”
“Ih told instead ngeyel.”
“Who is ngeyel? the point is, look, you said that if I was a genius I wouldn't have friends, it was broken with, I'm not a genius, but I'm a genius, I'm a genius, ok if you say I will not have friends later, but do I need? need what friends say? What benefits? my ideals do not have many friends, so I am confused to be afraid where?”
“Whispering you, hot head I chat amu lu.” Mom and Dad laughed at that word.
“Nak, later after adulthood, you will know, what are the benefits of friends, because friends are not only about personal, but also about business Nak, we need relationships to be able to make business run smoothly.”
“Oh sure Dad, I know that we need a relationship to be able to launch a business, but that shouldn't be a theme, right? because a business with friendship emotions will run badly, because sometimes the business sacrifices those values, especially if it is clear, our friends will make our business in danger.”
His dad Ganding was silent, he was glued, he felt he was talking to a business major, not to a six-year-old.
“Easy Dad, he just reads books, this kid is a theoretical whiz, so don't take it too seriously,”his oldest brother says. He is a student who is less brilliant, his work is only asking for money for unclear purposes.
“Bu, this stew who made it? kok tumben taste different, it looks like the composition of the material is different.”
“Nding!!!” Everyone was upset because Ganding protested with too detailed analysis, it gave people a headache.
What his older sister said was indeed true, Ganding had no friends, he felt that no one understood his words, he felt that his friend was uncomfortable with his overwhelming interest in reading, he felt that the topic of his conversation was very different from theirs.
When in kindergarten, when his friends were chatting about how great Doraemon is with his magic bag, Ganding came up with the topic, that Fujiko F. Fujio, the creator of the Doraemon manga, is someone who created Doraemon to help a lazy child, Nobita, who is, Ganding then told his five-year-old friends about his analysis of the manga, that this might have a bad impact on those who did not really study, he said, this manga makes children so lazy and expect to have Doraemon and say clearly that Doraemon is only a fictional character, lies, fiction and pure author.
Therefore some children cry because they do not accept Doraemon is said to be a figure of writing and make all children become lazy, moreover, the children did not get the point that Ganding was about to convey, banding's parents were called up because the children were crying incessantly, heartache that the characters they admired were insulted.
Ganding became upset and angry, he felt he had exposed something important, but why his friends could not accept it.
Apart from that, Ganding did not understand, that he was given the gift of a brain that is far more brilliant than his old friends, that's why he thinks his thoughts are reasonable and can be a good topic for casual conversation.
“You're still here, I thought you were gone, I'm still confused, why are you here anyway?” Gandy asked again. But the creature was still silent.
“If it's this night, I feel your look is more scary, hopefully not raining, because lightning must make this night gripping because there is you.” Ganding covered his entire body, it turned out that there was still a child's soul in Ganding's heart.
The rain suddenly came, he looked at the creature, it really looked even more terrifying at night.
“You can disappear first not temporarily, I'm afraid,” he said.
The creature nodded and he left.
“Good, you go.” Ganding then changed his sleeping position, from facing left to supine touching something, when he looked to his right.
“God!!! Why are you sleeping next to me!” Ganding until he fell because of shock, instead of disappearing he even slept behind the Banding earlier.
“Looks like I'm going to have trouble sleeping tonight, we go to the library only yes, continue reading, tomorrow this holiday.”
Banding then took the creature back to the library, he was about to shift his fear through reading, what a strange habit.
