“Oya, I've posted an announcement on the mading that the talent test was postponed first because we are still grieving the sudden departure of Esih .. just in case you don't know the info is Ning, then,” said Mr. Ujang then sauntered away. “Good Sir,” then Nining stood looking away at the empty basketball court and his lips muttered a name, “Nyai Galunggung ..”

Wira played her degustation that afternoon. He hit him without passion by occasionally looking ahead of him, the place where Esih usually sat playing his degustation tool as well. He rubbed his suddenly wet eyes. Anton stopped his flute when he realized his friend was shedding tears. “Wir .. maneh teu nanaon (you ain't nothing)?” ask Anton. “Ga .. ” ga nothing,<TAG1> replied Wira kinked when his heart was sad..


“You were sure I did the exercises here, he said at the house of the gabut... uh already here you even become the same keingetan Esih, I also became a sad follow Wir … instead of us sad, mending us maen basketball the same kids just outside ...”


“Sori ... sori .. let's practice again Ton,” Wira hit his gending tool again with the origin of it looks once if he is covering up the turmoil of his heart. “Wir .. hey Wir .. Why do we practice anyway? Not that his talent test was also postponed huh?” said Anton.


“Hayuklah us maen basketball outside,” invite Anton to stand from his seat. “You are actually Ton .. ga should I cry like gini ..” smile Wira. “Well so dong,” Anton laughs then walk out and see Wira still sitting behind his gending, “ayo or Wir!”  


“Maneh first aja Ton ntar I followed, want to ngunci door first.”


“Ok Wir, I wait in the field yes,” Anton also stepped out of the room towards the field. In front of the door of the carawitan room he saw Mang Uus was sweeping. “Mang Uus .. eta lamp in euy pareum perpus (it lamp in euy dead perpus) ..” Anton said. “Tos dentos da kamari (It was replaced yesterday),” said Mang Uus, “Oh ok sip if that is mah,” then Anton ran into the basketball court and started playing with his friends.


The hero draws and sighs. Looking around the karawitan room. His mind is hallucinating, he sees himself when he is with Esih at the time of practice degung or when they are mocking each other between training breaks. Every inch in this room reminded him of Esih. Esih was the girl he had been secretly appraising. His heart felt the pain of losing Esih so quickly.


“Ton! Oper!” yelled one of my friends. Anton immediately passes the ball and is caught right by his friend who dribble quickly and then kink from the opponent's obstacles and make a slam-dunk movement. “Yes!” anton shouted to see his friend managed to put the ball in the basket. On the sidelines he saw Wira standing. “Ah finally followed also you .. Wir want maen? Replace me!” shouted Anton from inside the field, Wira shook his head, “Moal (no), urang want to watch.” Then Wira sat on the sidelines, Anton continued his game.


Mang Uus who was sweeping suddenly silent. He frowned then walked up to the door of the reception room and stuck his ear to the door. From inside the room there was a sound of gurgling. Mang Uus pulled his head as if he could not believe what he had just heard. He stuck his ear again to see what he was hearing. Now I hear that voice louder. He was surprised too.
