The Colorful Work World
Ch. 48 Car Courses

This incident occurred before the holiday to Bali and after the end of the semester to jogja. At that moment, the father suddenly came into the room and said.

“Ray, later learn car yes. Anyway must be able to drive, the boy period can not drive!” Said the father in a cynical tone and upset me.

I am very lazy to learn the car, because at this time I still do not have the money to buy my own car. Why drive if you don't have a car, right? moreover, coupled with the phrase every father persuades learning to drive.

“Let's learn to drive son, later replace the father drive to Jogja”

That sentence he always said to me when talking about learning about cars. As a result of every persuasion he made, it even further made me far from wanting to learn to drive a car. Indeed, he is less shrewd in the selection of sentences and feels what he says is always right. Never did any introspection.

“iya sir, later if there is time to study. Kan now I also teach, the time is solid.”

“Lah, reason only. Very lazy to learn a car!” Suddenly the father immediately raised his tone and went out after saying that sentence.

“...” I can only hold back my anger when you've gone away. The hard things around me hit me with all my might. At this time, I did not know of an object called squishy which turned out to be very effective in overcoming this anger.

*Bam Bam Bam*

“Huuh” After satisfied hit some things, my emotions back stable.

I resumed my work and tried not to be affected by the recent events.

*Some days later*

“So, here is the place” while looking at the map and sitting still on the motor. I made sure it got to the right place.

The place I'm at right now is one of the driving school courses. In contrast to a hard father, Mother gives advice to take a driving class as well as it seems. Because just like me, if you teach father, not even can. In fact, you can only eat your heart because you can continue to nag while learning to drive.

Mom also managed to drive smoothly thanks to studying in this class. I don't know what kind of class he went into. I slowly opened the door and went to the reception desk.

“Welcome to driving school back and forth, anything we can help you with?” The receptionist allowed me to sit down and ask a few questions

“Begini mbak, I want to learn to drive here.” I told Mbak receptionist.

“Alright Sir, please choose from one of the study menus in this sheet.” On the table already attached to the list of car learning menus.I started to read them one by one.

‘Wow, what is the most expensive matik car class?’ I wonder why the matic driving class is so expensive.

There are several types of learning packages here. There's a matic car and a clutch. Then the meeting is divided into how many kinds. There are 6 days, 7 days, even up to 9 days. After considering what package I chose. I paid all the cash in advance.

The menu I chose was to learn the clutch for 7 days. I think this amount will be enough to serve as the basis for car learning. The rest just launch on the road. The clutch car was chosen obviously because of its cheaper learning price.

I also see driving services also issue sim A manufacturing services. Without a second thought, I also took the service. If I total, the amount of fees for this class along with the sim can almost touch one million rupiah.

Fortunately with my salary as a teacher, my savings were enough to take classes at this place. He said he said he would pay a fee to drive, whether he would keep his promise or not.

But because I still have vacation time, I equate learning almost every day so that the number of 7 meetings is fulfilled immediately. I can't wait to learn how to drive here.

*Nyetir* learning day*

“Huuh, finally it's time to learn” I said while parking the motor and put the helmet.

The helmet I was using was a standard red helmet that cost at least a hundred thousand.  Because unfortunately, wearing a good helmet is even vulnerable to defeat. The half-life of the helmet alone must wear a padlock.

‘Hopefully what is not as fierce as father’ learning to drive reminds me of when I studied with my father.

At that time it was the first time to touch a car and learn with a clutch-type car. Certainly if first learned there are times when the car dies due to wrong when removing the clutch.

the father who as usual his emotions and talk were never guarded. Over time his tirade grew louder until he shouted at me.

“how the hell, have been told how to make a clutch like how! not so good at learning it!” I shouted in a very loud tone

“Hisk..Hiks” Unbridled crying fell under the car. This was the second time I cried after going to college. Either I'm a whimper, or the father is too bar.

Fortunately there was a mother who immediately defused the situation. Finally learning the car was stopped at that time and almost never again I want to learn the car together with the father. Especially if you learn car clutch.

After that incident, I usually just drive a matic car. Easier, simpler, and does not use a lot of thought. Just play the gas and brake. Then watch the road closely. There is no need to think of clutch issues that only add to the problem.

*Today*

Going back to the driving course, learning clutch is one of the economical lessons. Because if we can bring a clutch car, it will be easier to use a matic car. But the opposite cannot happen. Therefore, for the driving course this time, I chose the clutch car.

I went inside the store and then spoke to the receptionist “With Mr Ray, is the teacher ready?” ask them.

“It is ready sir, please go directly to the back only.” Say the receptionist while pointing towards the back door.

I put the helmet in the store and then I went to the back door. I saw that there was a white car ready with the coach.

"For a moment sir, wait for this one rod to run out first” Master said while smoking a cigarette.

“Iya sir, I wait” because I do not want to look for problems, I choose to wait for it to be finished.

This always creates problems. Many people are in debt because of cigarettes. There are also those who fuss over cigarettes. It's expensive, it can cause disease again. I do not know the beauty of smokers because it does not include active smokers.

When the teacher finished smoking, he asked me to get in the car. Then he explained in basic terms a little thing to know before driving. Like the function of the turnstile, headlights, sweeper, and other car button functions. Surely before starting the machine, the instructor told me to use the seat belt properly.

“Slowly step on the clutch, then the car starter. Wait for a while the car turns on, then slowly release the clutch while stepping on the gas slowly. Don't forget the steering wheel point to there”

Following the instructor's instructions, I slowly made it out of the driving learning ground. After this we walked down the highway for the class this time. Unfortunately the teacher who taught me was a guy. Looks like it will be more excited if the one who teaches driving is a beautiful girl.
