The Dimension of My Own
Secret headquarters

In every kiss I longed for, in every breath I let go, in every spirit I gathered, my thanks were only to the sparkling red light that radiated from behind the glass crystals.

A housewife who was busy stirring tea, shouted to her son when she saw from a distance three friends moving closer to the place where his position is now.

"Udiiiiieeeeen!!” (Only stirring a glass of customer's order tea.)

The child then immediately answered the speech.

Udin: "Yes, Maaaaak!” (Moving hastily while still confirming the position of his ball-clothing which was only half-attached.)

Housewife: "Your friends have arrived. Quickly greet them.”

Udin then swiftly moved swiftly towards the front.

Udin: "Ba.. Tia.. Cici.” (Call his friend by raising his hand and waving.)

The three of them, Beni, Tiara, and Chika then somewhat sped up their steps to meet Udin.

Udin: "Let's go in.. The table is ready.” (But let them in and lead them to a table)

Not to forget, before Udin's friends got to the table he was led, they also gave greetings first to his mother Udin.

Them: "Aunty.. Afternoon Mama Sophia.. Afternoon Aunt Sophia." (Give greetings almost simultaneously.)

Sophia: "They are all. Please sit down, let Aunty make your drinks.” (With a smile while his hands swiftly reach out to some empty glasses on the tool shelves.)

They then sat down where they had been prepared. By killing time, they then took out everything needed to be placed on their respective table positions. Seeing the alertness of his friends, Udin then gave a little opening speech aimed at the course of activities can be orderly. He stood up and acted to imitate the discussion forums he often saw on television.

Udin: "All right, guys. Thank you for gathering. I as the host and host of the show would like to thank you for the presence of my friends. This time we have two agendas, including working on each pr and then proceed to discuss the loss of Budi in the last few days. And don't forget also, this event is sponsored by our princes, Princes Tiara. To your friends, please applaud our Princes, Princes Tiara.”

They all smiled as they clapped at Udin's direction.

Beni: "Mahaha.. Fits, Din.. Kayak in tivi-tivi, hahaha.” (As long as you still clap.)

Udin: "Haha.. Yes dong... Mr. Faiz said, right..? Later, I will often enter tivi. So artist, hahaha..” (Admiring himself.)

Tiara: "The Shrimp, kereeeen." (Smiling in awe.)

Not long after, Udin's mother came with glasses containing drinks to their group. Udin's mother, Sophia, also interfered with her son's statement.

Sophia: "What artist are you.. Shower still screaming for towels. So far so artist.” (Try to warm the atmosphere.)

Udin: "Well, Mom.. He is a haters. It's already in my privacy, Mak. Mom can be sued for alleged defamation.” (Efforts to balance the statements of his parents.)

Sophia: "Alright.. Just learned vocabulary just now, already defamation-supporting. When you were born, even your father gave you a name. My mom has prepared good names.. Ehh, even rejected your father.”

Udin: "Gee.. What's the story, Mama? How come Udin doesn't know, huh? Come, Mother..! Story, Mom!"

Sophia: "Yes.. A minute.” (When laying the tray.)

Everyone who was in that place became overwhelmed with curiosity over the statement of his Mother Udin.

Sophia: "This is Dek Beni, her horns.” (When placing the drink in front of Beni.)

Beni: "Yes, Aunt.. Thank you.” (With grin.)

Sophia: "Dek Chika's.. It's the sweet tea. Well, the glasses are new again, huh? Just look more beautiful this Chika Deck." (Smiling with compliments)

Chika: "Thank you, Auntie. Usual ah, Aunt.” (Efforts to smile while blushing shyly.)

Sophia: "Okay, Tiara.. Her hair was pinched in two, getting more cute. It's the strawberry milk." (Smiling and trying to tidy up the Tiara pigtail ties.)

Tiara: "Yes, Mama.. Mama Sophia too, today more beautiful.” (Smiling with sweetness.)

Intrigued, Udin again raised the question he had previously asked so that his mother immediately told him the truth.

Udin: "Come, Mommy..! Story, Mak!” (With a strong feeling.)

Sophia: "Yes.. At that time Mom stayed at a healthy cottage, waiting for you to be born. While waiting, Mother asked the nurse to help find a book that there is English.”

Udin: "Gee...“ (Splendent and increasingly curious.)

Sophia: "Emak is given a book.. I met a lot of good names. But unfortunately, your father refused. Just obey what your father said.”

Udin: "Well... How do you recite it, Mom? Should be your opponent dong.” (With a feeling of disappointment.)

In silence people also felt they had the same opinion towards Udin's statement.

Udin: "Well, Father.. I should now have the name bule.” (So upset.)

Sophia: "You know how else.. My mother was confused too. My mom made two good names."

Udin: "Anything, Mak?” (Looks like a lack of enthusiasm.)

Sophia: "If it's not wrong, her name is... Horse Pigdog with Pigdog Monkey." (As soon as you squint your eyes and hold the eel.)

Udin: "Waaaaaaah, Mom.. Misreading the book, it turns out..." (Terpana at once amazed by the words of his mother.)

Beni at once also changed like a person who was possessed. He laughed until he fell apart. Udin just gawked with a flat face and silent petrified to see the behavior of his friend who seemed unconscious. Those who were present, all of them laughed wildly after the conversation.

Udin: "My Father, thank you.. You are my life-saver.” (Get up to the sky.)

Sophia: "Well, that's it.. Don't bother defamation anymore.” (With a little smile)

Udin: "Hehehe.. Yes, Mother.. Ai lop yu, Mak.” (Look.)

Sophia: "Already.. Mom wants to go back first, grab a clothesline.” (Turning out to leave them.)

Sophia who was passing from them, suddenly stopped her son.

Udin: "Mr.. Wait, Mak.” (Try to stop her mother.)

Sophia: "What else?”

Udin was confused because he did not get his share.

Udin: "Well, Mom.. Where to Make Udin, Mak?” (Take a head scratch.)

Sophia: "That's.. It's right there." (Pointing his index finger to his desk.)

Udin: "Where, Mak?” (His sight moved to and fro to search for what was shown.)

Sophia: "Ituu.. Said artist.. That time alone, invisible?” (In a quip.)

Udin: "That empty glass, Mommy." (Try convincing.)

Sophy: "Iyaaaa... You fill dong, there will be a teapot.” (Directing Udin's view.)

Udin: "Well, how strong are you in this thirsty me, Mother. The time of the host is only given white water? Not only kula-kula dong, Mak.. Kan, who is the sponsor of Princes Tiara.” (Try to defend yourself.)

Sophia: "You hear me? you hear, right?, there are artists who ask to be treated with friends. Ask the same girl, again.. Hiiiiiii..” (Turning his gaze to Udin's friends then spoke in a slow tone with a voice acting like a whisper and at the end with a slightly goosebumps body.)

Watching the conversation, Beni, Tiara, and Chika returned to laughing. Even the customers around them were made to laugh.

Udin: "Well, Mom.. This has violated the laws that apply in the community, Mak. Mom can be deported as a political prisoner.” (PROtest.)

Sophia: "What are you talking about..? What are you talking about farting? Unclear.. “

Everyone who was there laughed after.

Sophia: "Have it, don't make your mom dizzy. You take it yourself.. Mom wants to go back first.” (Leaving the debate.)

Tread: "Yess..” (By clenching his hands.)

I am the wanderer. The determination has bent my back. Looking for happiness somewhere. Until finally I could only carve out a smile for the rest of my life.

 From a distance someone called Budi.

"Just..! Budiiii..!”.

Hearing that, Budi then fell silent and glanced to and fro to find where the source of the sound came from. Seen from the far end of the compound was a man waving his hands at him. Knowing who this person was, he approached him immediately.

Budi: "Sir Faiz.. What's up, Sir?”

Faiz: "It just so happens that you meet me. Can you ask for ndak?”

Budi: "Can, sir."

Faiz: "Please buy me some ice tea at Sophia's shop. Buy only two.. The one for you. This is the money." (Putting a piece of money.)

Budi: "Yes, sir." (With happy expression.)

Faiz: "Please.. The work of the Father is stacking, because.” (Try to give reasons.)

Budi: "Ready.. Rangkaiaaat!!” (Running with speed spur.)

It did not take long, Budi got to the shop of Ibu Sophia which was only a few intersections of the road. Beni accidentally saw Budi who was running, immediately told friends who were nearby.

Beni: "God.. It's Budi!” (Directing his index finger towards the front of the shop.)

They all turned their eyes to prove Beni's statement. Udin happily immediately replied Budi.

Udin: "God! Budi..!!” (Wringing his hands up high so that Budi immediately met him.)

Beni: "Budd..! Here, Bud!” (Also join his hand like Udin.)

Seeing that, Budi then agreed the intention of his friend. He also immediately met them. With a little breath, Budi finally arrived before them.

Came: "Hhhhhh.. What's up..? Hhhahh.” (Stretching his breath while his right hand is holding his waist.)

Beni: "What's up, Bud? How to run?” (Ask the incident first.)

Budi: "Ice tea.. Hhhahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhah.. Mr. Faiz.” (Try to regulate his breathing.)

Udin already knew what Budi meant, and then immediately met his mother.

Udin: "Oh.. Ice tea for Mr. Faiz.. Wait a minute, I'll call Mom first." (Get up from his chair and passed into the house.)

Chika: "Where are you missing, Bud?” (Try to open the conversation.)

Tiara: "Hu uh, Tiara did not see Abang Budi at school.” (Nodding as it justifies Chika's question.)

Budi: "Not going anywhere, Miss, Rara.. Only at home.”

Nick: "Weee, Bud.. Sadness over.. School is noisy if you are not.. The Udin is so fussy, his nanny is not there.” (Delivering his complaint to Budi.)

Chika and Tiara just laughed a little, which was then accompanied by the arrival of Udin and denied Beni's statement.

 Udin: "Well, I'm a baby..? You want to do some defamation, huh?” (Try to defend yourself.)

Came: "Ohh.. Can't do.. The statement of Mr. Beni does not meet the prerequisite to be reported as an allegation of defamation if it refers to the legislation that has been in force.” (Try to counterattack Udin's statement.)

Udin could only gawk and was stunned by Budi's words. His mouth moved to and fro but was unable to make a sound.

Nick: "Naah.. Come on, what do you want to answer..? Come.” (Try to intimidate Udin.)

Beni: "Can..? Kan..? I said what too.. Haha." (Laughter looks at Udin's behavior.)

Tiara: "Ohi.. Bang Udin lost a landslide." (Laughter.)

From the direction in the stall, Udin's parents immediately informed Budi of Mr. Faiz's request.

Sophia: "Budd.. The iced tea is wrapped, right Bud?” (When you take the tea box.)

Budi: "Yes, Sophia ma'am.. Two packs.” (Walk towards Sophia.)

Sophia: "Oh, yes.. Wait a minute, yeah.. Let me make it up first." (Convincing Budi.)

Read: "Yes, Sophia.”

By filling the silence, Sophia tried to inquire about Budi's whereabouts all along.

Sophia: "Several days, how come you haven't seen me, Bud..? Where are you going?”

Budi: "At home only, Bu.”

While waiting, his eyes were captivated by the neatly arranged pile of snacks right next to him. His heart became worried to see such an unsightly sight.

Budi: "Neither, Sophia ma'am.. Just a pack.” (Check out the previous statement.)

Sophia smiled because Budi had entered the trap he had set. Sophia has known the nominal money brought by Budi based on his observation experience so far. He monitored Budi's movements while continuing to work on the tea. He tried to pump Budi to immediately take the snacks in front of him.

Sophia: "Please pick a snack, Bud.. That's all I bought in town, you know. It must be delicious all, anyway.”

Budi saw something hanging on the ceiling that reminded him of Inyang. Immediately he pointed his index finger dashingly to the hanging object.

Budi: "I want that one, Sophia's Mom." (With a passionate smile.)

Sophia: "Gr..? How come it?” (To be astonished at Budi's request.)

Came: "Yes.. I want that one.” (Not moved.)

Sophia: "But, it's not a snack.” (Return to convince Budi.)

Budi: "It's okay, Sophia ma'am.. I changed the same one that was it.”

Seeing Budi who had rounded the resolve, Sophia could only give up on Budi's decision. With that sense of astonishment, Sophia tried to ask her purpose.

Sophia: "What do you want to use, Bud?” (Become curious.)

Budi: "Secret.. Hahaha.” (Try running away from the question.)

A pack of iced tea was finished and packed. Budi then gave the money that Faiz had deposited and received a considerable change. Seeing this, he then took some candy to balance the total purchase for two packs of tea.

Budi: "Mrs Sophia.. I want candy too. Here's the money.” (Deploy the rest of the change.)

And immediately, he hurried away. But Udin and his other friends hinder Budi.

Udin: "Geev, Bud.. How to go directly?”

Came: "Yes.. This is it, order.. Must be delivered first, dong.” (Give an explanation.)

Udin: "Then, we also join.”

Beni: "Yes.”

Chika: "I'm also coming along, all wondering about pr as well."

Tiara: "Ikuuuuuuut tower..!” (Looks excited.)

He just smiled at the words of his friends.

Budi: "Let's go to Mr. Faiz's house.. Then I'll go first.. Hahaha.” (Returned his pace.)

His friends all became determined because his school equipment was still scattered on their respective desks.

Line: "Eeehhh, Bud.. Wait for Bud." (Cleaning his school tools in a hurry.)

Beni: "Grand.. Still disheveled like this, even left out." (Also in a hurry to clean up his school tools.)

Tiara: "Ohi.. Tiara first Bang Udin.” (Get up from his chair while confirming the position of his bag.)

Chika: "I am also first.” (Moving with Tiara.)

It did not take long, Budi then finally arrived in front of the house of his teacher who had been waiting for his arrival with the condition of the door that had opened. Seen his teacher was sitting cross-legged in front of a round table while focusing on the sheets of paper in front of him.

Budi: "Sir Faiz, here's the tea.. What are you doing, Sir?” (Come in while removing the joints in a hurry.)

Faiz: "Naah, Budi.. Here, father again evaluate the duties of the student.” (Take off his glasses.)

Faiz House consists of only one room that is connected to the bathroom like a boarding house. The room was lined with shelves filled with books. Budi approached him while thrusting the order of his teacher.

Faiz: "Loh's.. How about just one, Bud? For you, where?” (Take the tea)

Came: "Hehe.. I changed candy.” (Turning out everything.)

Not long ago Budi's friends also reached the house. They were piled up in front of the door by taking off their footwear in a hurry.

Faiz: "Gee.. Bring an army. This scorched earth must.” (Looking towards the door.)

Tiara: "Russia.. Tiara champion one.!” (Lifting both hands.)

Chika: "Number two.”

Beni: "Three."

Udin: "Hehe.. Four." (Look.)

They all immediately sat in a circle facing the round table. Everyone looked happy as they slowly adjusted their breaths.

Faiz: "Gee.. Why even gather here?” (Smiling at once risi.)

Udin: "Yes dong, sir. Our secret base is here.”

Faiz: "What secret headquarters..? This is your secret headquarters. You should make your own dong.. In the woods there, in the caves there.. How is it even here?”

Udin: "Well, Mr. Faiz.. Pak Faiz secret headquarters, our secret headquarters also dong.” (Give a rebuttal.)

Tiara: "Assyc.. Tiara has a secret headquarters.” (Lifting hands and smiling sweetly.)

Beni: "The secret headquarters, huh..? Can also tuh.”

Faiz: "Well, Udin.. What's the logic? Your head hit the wall where, anyway?” (Try insinuating Udin.)

Tiara: "Sir Faiz.. Tiara can't have a secret headquarters?” (Shows a clear expression to his teacher.)

Faiz: "Maybe.. But not in... …” (Return with restlessness.)

Before his teacher finished speaking, Tiara then cut the statement.

Tiara: "Here, can't.?” (Morely showing a face that is clear and full of pity.)

Everyone was silent in silence waiting for the certainty that determined their existence. Faiz simply gulped in worry. He must make a choice, maintain his comfort zone or destroy his status as a teacher who is now on the edge.

Faiz: "Can.. But... …”

Tiara: "Horeeee..!! Tiara has a secret headquarters.!!” (Cutting off his teacher's words while raising his hand again and smiling sweetly.)

They were all cheering happily for their victory. Faiz was silent in his confusion. Udin then tried to calm his friends down to coordinate them all.

Udin: "Relax the brothers. Calm down." (Stand up and wave his hand forward.)

His spirit became silent. They started focusing on Udin.

Udin: "Well.. Because we already have a secret headquarters, then I as a pioneer of pollution will appoint Princes Tiara as the Emergency President of our headquarters.” (Give instructions.)

They all applauded with Udin's words as if to understand the meaning of the statement.

Tiara: "Pang Udin, kereeeen.!” (Increasing Udin.)

Beni: "Agree..!’ (Lifting hands.)

Budi and his teacher also smiled even in different ways.

Faiz: "What are you talking about, Din? Messy like that?” (Being smiling.)

Udin: "Okay, Mr. Faiz.. How messy? All are in accordance with the mandate of skejul procedures that apply in the community kok Pak. (Disputing his teacher.)

Faiz: "Gee.. Yes deh.” (Laughter.)

Budi: "Doubt..! Mr. Udin's argument is contrary to the constitutional law of the country. In the law, the State states will guarantee the freedom of each citizen to make their own choices. Therefore, a vote must be held based on voting.” (Fire is like a conductor.)

Udin again can only gawk and be amazed by Budi's words. His mouth moved to and fro but was unable to make a sound. Seeing Udin's puzzled reaction, they all laughed.

Faiz: "What are you talking about? The language has advanced so. Missed watching tivi show, must.”

Chika: "Watch a debate event, Mr. Faiz.” (Try to explain.)

Faiz: "Gee.. For your age this should watch the show tivi pas dong. Watch a robot movie or something, like that.. This is even watching debate.”

Udin: "Yeah.. It's okay, sir. I am nocturnal. Already not level to watch a robot movie so.” (Speaking the words of his teacher.)

The teacher and the teacher laughed. And the others followed the behavior of the two with frown.

Faiz: "Nocturnal what is rational, Din?” (Give and smile.)

Udin: "Geek.. Yes, that. Rational, hahaha..” (Laughter while scratching your head.)

Faiz then fell silent for a moment. He tried to find a solution to Udin's mistake in speaking. He remembered a book he used as a reference in his college days. He then got up from his seat and rushed to the bookshelves behind Beni.

Udin: "What's up, sir?” (That's astonishment.)

Faiz: "Oh, yes.. I have a good book for you. This is Father again search.” (Tracing each book with its index.)

Tiara: "Tiara also mauuu...!” (Lifting high up his right hand with joy.)

Chika: "Me too.!” (Also raise his hand.)

Not long after, Faiz got it. And then handed it to Udin.

Faiz: "Well, this.. Let there be a fight if you want to debate. Ndak gawking kayak earlier.” (Smiling while offering the book.)

Udin: "Gee.. You can too, Sir.” (Swiped his hand and then took the book.)

Tiara: "Sir Faiz.. Tiara is also."

Faiz: "What book do you want?”

Tiara: "There is love." (Smiling sweetly.)

Faiz: "Goddess.. Still first class, even look for the love ones. Not a fairy tale or anything, is that it? At home there is no book?” (Reparating.)

Tiara: "At home there are only business books the same war books.”

Came: "Yes.. I read it too. The war book is fun. A story about black soldiers. It was less than ten people. They could take East Asia in less than a night. After the war, they decided to split up, then disappear from world history. So, that time... ..”

Faiz: "Gee.. Even in the spoiler. No more dong. I haven't read it yet.” (Cutting off the conversation and complaining.)

Came: "Hehe.. Sorry, Mr.” (Squealing.)

Tiara: "Mommy loves to read books. Mami likes to read books the most, Liang Lahat for my people. Tiara wants to read too. But don't know where Mami put it.”

Faiz: "Gee.. Better not read that one. This book only.. Smile from the End of the Sky.” (Taking it off the shelf, then thrusting it to Tiara.)

Tiara: "Asshiiik." (Take the book.)

Beni: "Sir Faiz.. Can I choose myself?”

Faiz: "Yes, Please.”

Budi: "Me too."

Beni and Budi moved from his seat and began modar mandir to find the book he wanted.

Nick: "Sir Faiz.. If you make Chika?”

Faiz: "There, briefly.” (Start looking.)

Chika: "Novel-novel overseas, no sir?”

Faiz: "Father already knows your favorite books. These.. Iro Iro Arigatou, Kagoshima.” (Shows the book.)

It was clear from Chika's happy and excited expression taking the book.

Chika: "This is for me?” (Smiling happily.)

Faiz: "No.. Restored dong again when finished reading.” (Disputing Chika's statement.)

Chika: "Cirain for me.. Haha.” (Laughter for failing to trap her teacher.)

Budi fell silent to the arrangement of the books displayed in front of him. His eyes wildly moved to and fro looking for something he himself did not know what it was. Until finally his gaze was fixed on a side that increased his curiosity. For sure, he finally took it.

Budi: "Sir Faiz, borrow this one." (Give the book to the teacher.)

Faiz: "Gee, Bud.. That's a pretty complicated book.. It's just short stories."

Beni who was busy looking, suddenly became curious about what the teacher said. He then approached Budi to just know the book that Budi had taken.

Beni: "Literature Literature.. Rank two?” (Being confused.)

Faiz: "Literature of Quadratic Literature." (Clearned.)

Budi: "News about mathematics, yes Sir?” (Find out about the book he's holding.)

Faiz: "No.. There is no mathematics. It's just short stories. But many wisdom.”

Budi: "Wisdom?”

Faiz: "Yes.. Wisdom means, there are many lessons of wisdom."

Beni: "Gee.” (See confusion.)

They could all just be silent at the words of his teacher.

Faiz: "Well, look at it.. We use examples. For example, the story of a man named x, just think of his name as such. So, this x, he chose the wrong path in his life. So that makes the y, this y is either his friend or his lover or something. Well, because of the behavior of this x, finally making the y who is always beside him so overwhelmed with deep sadness and choose to disappear. The ugly x finally stayed in his room, he pondered over everything that had happened, then he began to cry. He acknowledged his mistake and prayed for the best path. Then he finally got the best way.”

They all heard seriously what his teacher was telling him.

Beni: "I know the end of the story.. Si y must be back again, right?” ( Guessing the end of the story while raising your hand.)

Faiz: "Yes, y is back.. But, he again got a bitter reality. Turns out that y is not the best path in question.”

Beni: "Gee.” (Shock.)

Tiara: "The story is sad.” (Looks moody.)

Chika: "Pity, let down. Isn't that right, Tiara?” (Against Tiara.)

Tiara: "Ummm ummm.." (When nodding.)

Faiz: "Well.. If the characters you made as objects, then what lessons can you get from the short story?”

Beni: "Object?” (Being confused.)

Faiz: "Oh, yes.. Father forgot. Your study materials haven't gotten to the structure of language, have they? Maybe starting next week. We will discuss what is an object, what is a subject.”

They all seemed pleased with his teacher's explanation.

Tiara: "If Tiara?”

Faiz: "Gee.. Ja. Tiara is still first class. But nothing, I teach you the basic concepts only.”

Beni: "I also want a kayak book that Budi holds, Mr. Faiz.”

Faiz: "There's only that. But if there are many novels. You just select.”

Budi: "It's Ben.” (Directing the book he held to Beni.)

Beni: "Where can.. Who's fast, he got.” (Try to reject Budi.)

Budi: "Then, we just change the reading.”

Hearing the conversation, Faiz remembered something. He then stood back up and quickly picked up a book on the shelves.

Faiz: "Well, this.. The book is almost similar to that. But, many series.”

Beni: "Gee.. Thank you Mr. Faiz.” (With a cheerful expression.)

Faiz: "God.. Are you sure you chose that book? You just have to go back and forth to open the dictionary so you can understand the story.” (Try to question the will of Budi.)

Budi: "Nothing, Mr. Faiz.. Just read it first. Later if someone makes you confused, you can ask questions.”

Faiz: "Yes already, then.”

Lined.. Lined.. Lined.. The alarm sound of Tiara's digital clock suddenly goes off.

Tiara: "It's late afternoon.. Mr. Faiz, Tiara wants to go home. Mami is in a minute until.”

Beni: "Gee.. Emergency President is coming home.” (Look.)

Udin: "Let me drive home."

Tiara: "Ummm-s.. Bang Udin also want to go home?” (Consolidate once and ask.)

Udin: "Yes dong.. For the sake of ensuring comfort and order keep the Emergency President.” (Stand firm and clenched hands on the chest.)

Budi: "I also want to go home first.”

Chika: "I also.”

Beni: "Gee.. I'm also."

Faiz: "Then you will be careful to go home. No need to run. Will fall."

Beni: "Ouch.. Mr. Faiz, the very attentive Master.” (Shame on praising.)

Faiz: "Sound.. That's not. If you fall, no problem. But, the book is loh, I'm worried so damaged.”

Beni: "Gee..”.

Hearing that, they all laughed cheerfully at the sound of footsteps coming towards the exit.

 They all walked their own paths. The increasingly elongated body shadow frightened a flock of dragonflies that perched between the cracks of rice. Now, the boy walked while looking at a pile of paper that might burn his life spirit. Hot air that brings thirst makes his steps more motivated to immediately go to his hiding place.

From a distance, Budi saw Mina watering the flowers of her late mother in the yard.

Nudity: "Sister Mina.. Go home." (When greeting and passing.)

Mina: "Ehhh, Budi. How long was he going home?”

Came: "Yes.. Last time I met friends at home Mr. Faiz.” (Stopping her steps and answering Mina's question.)

Mother: "Yes.. But I don't mean that. Which clothes?”

Budi: "Shirt?” (His sight was to and fro because of confusion.)

Mother: "Yes.. Clothes that should be washed.” (Return to explain.)

Budi: "Gee.. I don't know.”

Mother: "Yaaah, Bud.. Should also be asked dong Inyang clothes that want to be washed.”

Budi: "I don't know, Brother. This time I didn't love anything. Besides, Mina didn't tell you either.”

Mina: "Yeee, Budi.. Your habits are.. Have to wait for the command first, just move. Adab if the same old man, his own initiative dong. You ask back dong clothes that must be washed again.”

Came: "Hehe.. Sorry Kak.” (Try running away from problems.)

Budi then resumed his steps to get home.

Mina: "Budiiiiiiiii...!!”

Budi: "Yes, Sis..? Why else, Brother?” (Return to stop the move.)

With a sullen face upset, Mina then raised her left hand with her right hand that was preparing to pat her left hand vertically. Seeing that, Budi immediately understood what to do.

Came: "Hehe.. Yes, Sis.. Pick up the laundry again, right? Wait, Brother.. Drink first.“ (Leaving Mina as quickly as possible.)

Budi then moved quickly to his room even though he just put down the book he borrowed and then returned to the kitchen to quench his thirst. In a hurry, he immediately left the house, but still saw his sullen brother and still with the same bluff. Instantly, Budi also spurred his steps at full speed away from something he did not want to see.

Budi: "Just go first, Brother!” (Running as fast as lightning.)

Mina became a sneaky laugh at her sister's behavior.

The flowing water emitted a golden glint.

Crows roared in between the hills which began to turn blurry.

The squirrel ran agilely between the branches of the tree which slowly turned dark black.

After spurring his steps for a long time, Budi finally arrived at the last step of the Inyang cottage. With a gasping breath, he began to laugh as well as astonished to understand his current situation.

Came: "Hehe.. It turns out that this is true, yes." (Look.)

Inyang just smiled from his seat watching Budi who had just come to see him.

Budi: "Home.. Brother Mina told me to ask for clothes that must be washed.” (As you breath.)

Inyang: "Mermaid, you have come again. Come here." Come here."

Budi then approached Inyang and immediately sat down next to him. Inyang immediately gave a bag of clothes that turned out to be under a tree near where he was sitting.

Budi: "What a great yes, can know I came again.” (But take the sack given by Inyang.)

Inyang: "Sorry.. It's been a bother to you." (Smiling.)

Budi: "No, this is it. Even Budi happy, can come here again.”

Inyang: "Good, then.. So, today you've done what good for yourself?”

Came: "Me..? Don't know.. I was just messing around all day. Hahaha.” (Laughing at himself.)

In his laughter, he recalled the words of his teacher when he gathered with his friend at his teacher's house.

Budi: "Home.. What is wisdom?”

Inyang: "Supreme."

Budi: "Yes, wisdom. But means?”

Inyang: "Meaning."

Budi: "Gee..”.

Inyang just smiled watching the dissatisfied expression Budi showed.

Inyang: "You want to know what wisdom is?”

Came: "Yes.. Tell me." (Back cheery.)

Inyang: "Knowing wisdom is terrible. It is like a candle flame locked in a large, heavy, high gate. The flame of the candle will lead you to a bright light, brighter, and brighter. But, to open the gate is not easy, it can even stain your heart and turn off your soul.”

Came: "Gee.." (Being confused.)

In that confusion, Budi could not say anything because of his inability to digest the conversation. Inyang just smiled watching Budi who seemed to be thinking hard to relate the information in his head with what was the conversation.

Inyang: "How did you feel after Umi's death?"

Budi: "Hmmm.. Now Budi himself is still confused.. Might as well.. Happy.?” (Facing the sky with a small smile.)

Seeing Budi's expression like that, Inyang so smile.

Inyang: "Try explaining.”

Budi: "Budi still remember what Umi smiled like." (Being smiling.)

This: "It is the flame of the candle."

Hearing that, his eyes immediately glazed over and then looked far to the edge of the sky. His smile seemed to be filled with sincerity.

Inyang: "Do you still miss Umi?”

Budi just nodded while rubbing his eyes.

Inyang: "Then, let's go to his tomb.”

Budi: "But it's getting dark." (Give a rebuttal.)

Inyang: "Yes.. Its alright. You already have a candle flame. From now on, darkness will not be able to defeat you.” (Stands from his throne accompanied by a smile and then steps with certainty.)

Budi just followed him from behind while tidying up his condition. They went down the stairs slowly accompanied by the song of a flock of crickets. To break the silence between them, Inyang tried to extract some information from Budi.

Inyang: "Mermaid, what class is it now?” (Moving slowly.)

Budi: "Sixth grade, this." (Referring a little step so that it can go hand in hand.)

Inyang: "So so.. You moved here as a baby, it turns out.” (Stop thinking about something for a moment.)

Budi: "Kok Inyang knows?” (Casualization.)

Inyang: "Open nothing.. Inyang just want to make sure something.” (Back step.)

Be silent and follow the movement of Inyang. They stepped decisively towards a mound of grave land that was still not fenced in. Arriving at the cemetery, Budi ran to the tomb of Uminya and held his tombstone. Inyang approached the tomb and looked deeply at the tombstone. His hands moved across the back of his body because he seemed to have realized something.

Inyang: "So so..”

He looks good in his own world. He seemed to be smiling happily because the fragments of the illusion had brought him into the past. Inyang then continued his footsteps through the tomb, even though he only saw flames from the gap of the clouds. A cool breeze blew in and the trees began to shout their silence.

Inyang: "Mermaid.” (Still looking up at the same sky.)

Budi who sat beside his tomb Uminya just turned his face towards the source of the sound.

Inyang: "Remember this sentence fine.”

He then stood up and fell silent in response to the statement.

Inyang: "I came from the past and will move into the future with an empty box that should contain hatred.”
