THE BEDOL KEMBANG
RISE CHAPTER 2
“Eh, another kitu .. although maneh teu boga talent mun diligent training mah can wae .. yeuh dengekeun, jelema gifted tiasa eleh kanu jelema anu diligently Esih! (Eh is not that .. although you do not have talent if you are diligent practice mah can .. nih dengerin, talented people can lose to people who are diligent Esih!)” terang Wira's. “Ho’oh aja deh,” nod Esih short. Hero laughs.
“Geus ah, maraneh gandeng (Udah ah, you guys are noisy),” said Imas. “Betul Mas, you guys are like Tom and Jerry only,” added Anton who blew the flute, “eh Wi, it feels like you are ready with the final test of talent later deh, deh, you will make Mr. Ujang and other karawitan teachers dumbfounded.” Goddess laughs, “But I am still not satisfied Ton.”
“Ya right .. there are some tones that still sound false,” criticism of a girl who had been sitting a little away from them. He stood up from his seat and walked over to the Goddess. “About sinden boy,” whispered Wira to Anton. “Yes you are right Ning, I also feel that,” Goddess approves her friend's opinion of it. “Good but not good enough,” continued Nining then crouched next to the Goddess who was still sitting on the mat. His eyes looked into the eyes of the Goddess. “Developing kawih* karuhun*got the same as singing Sundanese pop,” says Nining. The goddess agreed.
*Kawih is a type of Sundanese song that is not bound by rules.
**Karuhun is an ancestor.
“Hideung's roof that just maneh (you) bring it sacred,” continued Nining.
“Mistis?” chirps Esih.
“Not ... This song has a deep meaning ..” explains Nining.
“Tell me, ‘level lo is still below I’ so,” whispered Wira again this time there is a slurred tone in his sentence and Anton remained silent not responding. “Yes you are right, you have to teach me Ning, you are more experienced in the world of sinden,” said Dewi. Nining stood up and walked out saying, “Our next workout is tomorrow, if it's done, lock this door, OK? Trus wait urang (me) in the library.” The goddess looked at Nining's back who left without responding to her request earlier.
“Eh Ning, do not go first, now it's turn Imas nyinden nih,” exclaimed Esih reminded. Nining laughs, “Gold? Ah he's just wasting my time!” Imas smiled bitterly hearing that.
“Si anying, arrogant very,” ketus Wira is upset. “About-about he was appointed by Mr. Ujang to be the chairman of our group and already have nyinden flight hours but yes that's also the time,” said Esih. “He is so because it is good anyway nyindennya,” chirped Anton. “Wi, urang thought mah, without the help of the Nining, maneh can also be better than him kok,” said Imas encouraging Dewi. Dewi got up from her seat took her bag and looked at her friends, “Say like she doesn't want there to be two good sindens in this group-“
“Hey ... two? Wah maneh mengelupain Imas,” cut Esih.

After the door of the room was locked they walked through the quiet school hallway to the library room. The thunder rumbles sounded slow and the cloud was still hanging. Imas looked at the big tree in the corner of the field opposite the teacher room and his shoulders shuddered. “Kunaon maneh (Why are you)?” ask Anton. “Urang (me) felt a lot of us saw from the tree,” show Imas. The four friends looked at the big tree Imas was referring to.
“Emang serem heck, that tree including the oldest tree in this school,” said Wira. The goddess noticed the tree, and her hair bristled. “Eh, maraneh (you) know ga, urban legend in second floor toilet?” whispered Esih. Anton shook his head,” Ah you are here, this atmosphere is cloudy and quiet, you even want a horror story anyway.” Ice grin, “You're scared huh?” Anton sneering. “I'm also afraid of Ton, but I want to tell you .. on the second floor there was a schoolgirl hanging herself in the toilet around the nineties, she said she was pregnant with her boyfriend and her boyfriend did not want responsibility,” said Esih.
“Totally?” Imas surprised. “The name of urban legend is a story hereditary from mouth to mouth, which cannot be ascertained the truth, so not necessarily the real Mas,” chirps Wira. “Siswi who hanged herself was named Marni .. school guard, Mang Uus, also had seen this Marni appearance with her school uniform, she said, the appearance is not only night but Marni can also appear cloudy afternoons kayak gini!” cetus Essih's. “Hiiii,” Imas shudder.
“Udahan ah his horror story .. tuh see the library door is open,” Dewi frowned. Everyone saw the open door of the library. “Not the door lock is still the same maneh yes?” anton said, Wira nodded. “Trus who open dong?” wonder Esih. “Ah most si Nining, he also held the same key Mang Uus, I see kok,” said Imas. Hearing that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They all entered the dark library. The hero presses the light button but does not want to light up.
“Ah Mang Uus, have not changed the lights,” is upset with the school guard. “Eh actually we are told to the same perpus si Nining ‘tu told why anyway?” wonder Anton. “He wants to show the Sunda degung book during the Baheula era (formerly), for us to learn,” explained Imas. “Eh he was the Nining,” pointed Esih at Nining who was standing crossed her arms in the chest in front of them.
“Where the hell just appeared,” ketus Nining with an annoyed face.
“Sori Ning,” said Imas representing his friends.
“You guys have been waiting for a long time!” Nining stared intently at Imas then Dewi and turned her body running. Wira piqued her lips, Esih held back the laughter of seeing that. “Why are we the only ones glared at?” whispered Goddess on Imas. Imas shakes not knowing. They all walked after Nining. Nining continued walking without speaking towards the back of the library room. Suddenly Esih heard his HP ringing, everyone stopped his pace as well as Nining. “Thank you fast!” nining said impatiently.
Esih quickly placed the HP in her ear. “Assalamualaikum, saha iyeu (who is this)?” ask Esih who did not have time to see who the caller was. “Waalaikumsalam! Saha iyeu saha iyeu .. You guys tea on where the hell?” upset voice on the other end of the phone there. Esih frowned because she recognized the voice. “Saha Yes?” I wonder so are the others. Esih gulped her saliva before saying trembling and whispering softly, “This is from Nining,” while pointing at her HP.
