Sapphire City's
Chapter 4: The Warning

Friday, a peaceful day in the classroom with the sparkle of daylight sunshine accompanied the student's endless sultry feeling enveloping the class. The history lesson with the heat of the sun makes some students can not focus on listening to the teacher's explanation of Indonesian history, many of them are forced to use books as a substitute for fans, the problem is that the AC class is dead because there is damage, so the school will serve AC on Saturday when the school holidays. Even the history teacher did not escape from the sultry, he also several times saw the watch as if he wanted to end the class immediately.

 Judah looked at his own watch, 11:10 a minute later. Special Friday, the break time is for 1 hour, unlike other rest hours that are only 30 minutes. So that on Friday the break is only 1x, while Monday to Thursday 2x. the return hour is different. Day commute at 15:30, Friday 14:00

 The history teacher ended the class, he said there was a group assignment of 4 or 5 people. Each group should visit the museum, which will then have to be presented in class next week. Yuda, Andre and Sela must be one group. But due to the lack of one person, Sela immediately invited Mirna, the girl accepted it without thinking. Even now Sela and Mirna look close even though he is still flat-faced. After all the students got their own group. Representatives come forward to get a raffle about which museum visit they will get. Yuda immediately encouraged Andre as a representative who was answered not sincerely. Andre returned, the museum that became the material of their visit is the museum of Asia Africa

              “yaaa, I want the Geologi” museum complained Sela

        “if I want the museum building sate” reply Andre

        “nothing, after all museum” Yuda trying to entertain.

 “but what if we just leave today go home school” Sela see hpnya “now open, but fitting 3 pm”

   Yuda see hp Sela “ada hours yes. How Andre, Mirna”

  “I want aja” Andre agrees

      “aku too, if another day is afraid can not” said Mirna.

               “ok go home school directly yes, but there up what?” Yuda was astonished

          “both of you don't bring motor?” Sela asked, looking intently at Andre and Yuda.

   “aku enggak” Yuda replied.

             “what else I” replied Andre.

        “already we use taxi online aja” 

            “ok”

 The school bell rang, some male students went out of class with prayer equipment, some non-Muslims waiting in class with female students, Andre and Yuda also went out with other students. During that time, students who do not pray Friday are allowed to leave class or buy food but should not be noisy. Instead of waiting in class, Sela invites Mirna to go to the kantin with other female students. 

 The break is over, the students sit on their respective benches waiting for the last lesson teacher to come. Andre invited his group of friends to play somewhere after finishing visiting the museum. Everyone agrees except Mirna who hesitates, but she is finally willing after being persuaded by Sela. Andre suggested playing to braga street. But Sela wanted to play in the square, both of them were harsh about their requests until there was a debate. Andre thinks that Sela wants to go there in order to go to the shoe store or to the nearest mall, while Sela thinks that Andre wants to go to Braga to taste the culinary there.

Yuda managed to divorce the two and said about the streets, see if there is time. 

 Andre, Yuda, Sela and Mirna sat in front of the school gates while waiting for their online taxi to arrive, while waiting for some of them to play and chat. Sela aga is worried that online taxis are coming late, fearing that their tar is late to the museum. An online taxi came, a white avanza, the driver was a middle-aged man. Judah sat in front, Andre, Sela and Mirna sat in the back

 The car arrives 15 minutes before the museum opens. Yuda, the first to get out of the car, registers the reservation as his friends get out of the car and sit on a bench near the museum

 Officers opened the entrance of the museum and let Yuda and his friends in, there were also other groups of visitors wearing school uniforms, like them but from the logo they came from a school near here

 The first entry was greeted with a replica of a statue from the conference leader, followed by a replica of a globe whose size may be 5x or more than the world ball that is in the school tab. Yuda asks his friends to split up, they have to take photos and take notes for presentations and task reports, Yuda chooses the press section. There are various press from a number of countries that report about the conference, so that the press is written in various languages from America, japan and so forth, the press from Indonesia also did not escape display. Not just the press. Yuda took a photo in the form of a typewriter that used to be used at the conference. The young man was very lucky to see a typewriter that was so ancient and now rarely seen, if anyone had maybe the person was very lucky to have some antiques, he said, but the typewriter in this museum is very different because it has countless historical values.

 Finished with her part, Yuda planned to the other side, Yuda glanced at the standing Mirna himself after he took a photo. He approached the girl and read what part he was looking at. demands of the world child being read by her, there were photos of black and white children from various countries. They are victims of war.

      “you think if they were born in this time, would they be happy?” Ask Mirna

            “enthlah”

            “why?”

         “because happiness is created from yourself”

 Yuda is not sure what the answer can make Mirna satisfied, because the girl immediately stepped quietly to the place where Sela, who wrote about Bandung Prepared. There are various photos of the corners of the city which is being built to prepare for the Asian-African conference. One of them is a photo of the right hotel located on the museum road.

 Andre joined in, he had finished taking a photo of an old postage stamp that was specially printed during the conference. 

       “then we call the conference room” take Yuda.

 Judah sat in one of the middle ranks, if he imagined, maybe now he could feel what the atmosphere of the Asian-African conference was like, even his friends thought the same as Yuda

 The museum visit is complete, they just collect photos and make reports plus presentations. The work of the report and presentation at home each, with the results of the writing and photos they took, if it was finished sent to Yuda which he later put it all together.

    “exit the museum directly greeted crowded asia africa” road said Andre

   “we relax first yu” take Sela

        “ada mini market near here” suggestion Yuda

         All agreed with Yuda's advice, 

 The ground suddenly shook violently, Yuda pulled Mirna and Sela while Andre was behind, they ran away from the museum building. Shocks such as the earthquake made as people even riders panicked instantly, Judah as much as possible directed his friends away from the tree and the poles. 

 When the shaking stopped, some of the frightened people tried to get up. Yuda looked around, thinking that maybe the epicenter was right here because the shaking was so intense. But strangely if the shaking is that big and makes the earth shake, there should be a cracked museum building wall or no building collapsed, strangely nothing at all. But Sela pointed towards the road. The great cracks extended all the way to Asia Africa, even very dense. Yuda so remembered the article visited by Sela yesterday about the cracks in the Sudirman road, now he saw with his own eyes about the cracks. 

    Ieu Abdi give you a warning (this is my warning)

 The voice like that time this time was clear, Yuda noticed his friends, Sela was still silent in fear, Andre tried to surprise Sela. But Mirna she looked at the empty sky.

     Get ready for krkeu dinteun (Prepared later in the day)

 The voice just disappeared, Judah was confused to hear it all. He watched his friends, they seemed like they had not heard what Judah had heard, except Mirna, who had a different reaction to the others. 

             A black sedan suddenly stopped right in front of them, it was Mirna's sister's car.

 “Mirna it turns out you are still here” the car window is open, until the figure of Mirna's sister is clearly visible.

            “kakak”

          “now it's good for you to go home” said sister Mirna.

 Mirna glanced at the others. Sela says she wants to go home by herself, she says she's shaken, Andre and Yuda will accompany Sela home. But the girl kept coming home by herself. Mirna got into the car. Yuda and the others walked towards the braga road.

 Mirna and her brother were silent in the car, and she noticed that the brother with a serious face had no change at all.

      “that was the second warning?” Mirna asked breaking the silence

             “right, the warning is faster than predicted, even though there is still five days” left

  “Myrna from tomorrow until the day you do not enter school first”

            “good kak” 

 The phone rang, Mirna's sister's cell phone. He picked it up while pulling his car over.

            “iya”

 Mirna watched her brother whose expression had not yet tried at all and thought about what had happened before, though she felt no fear at all, but the friends she had just met were shaken, but the voice he heard left Mirna shocked.

 “there is a possibility if the sweat is faster than usual for sure they are stronger than 4 years ago”

     “well, I'm the same Mirna will be headquarters now”

          The call was closed, Mirna's sister immediately drove her car.

  “Sorry Mirna we can't go home now”

 Hearing that Mirna just fell silent, looked at her phone, photos of her and her friends during the museum, and thought whether they could still meet or not.[]
