The Eternal War Kasarewang
Harsa Wijaya vs First Love (2)

Harsa pressed the upload button on her favorite photo sharing app. The photo he uploaded was a photo of himself, Elis, and Gina who were receiving the award trophy and the certificate of intelligent race winner meticulous biology from the university.

"Hehe." Harsa laughed happily.

Coming home from the race, he immediately fell asleep his tired ranking. However, this morning, Harsa's feelings have returned to flying considering she will play all day with Elis and Barasa.

Finishing the bath, he excitedly said to Erik. "Pa, please take me to the mall. Want to play with Elis the same Barasa all day."

"Can." Erik said to turn off the television. "You're empty? No exams or anything?"

"Yes, it's Pa. Eng, not really, actually. There's still a standardization test in Drestha city, but I want to play first. Not very hard to learn."

Erik nodded. He did not want to question Harsa's decision. The three of them, Harsa, Elis, and Barasa meet at the food court mall.

"Sa!" Elis waved his hands from far away. "Here!"

Elis's appearance was much more attractive than usual. She was wearing a trendy pink shirt with black cloth pants. On his tiny arm, he wore a small white watch whose iron was shiny. Her sweet lips were given pink lipstick.

Harsa smiled as she was happy to see the appearance of Elis that she would not see in school. However, his smile was interrupted by the fact that the one sitting next to him, not across from Elis, was Barasa. Harper was sitting across from the two of them.

"Hi gaes." Sapa Harsa's. "Sorry late. Wait long?"

"No, kok. I was the same Barasa also just came." Answer Elis.

"You guys came together?" Harsa could not hide her surprise.

"Yes.” Answer Barasa, please,

“So Barasa picked me up at home. Hehe, thank you. It is not necessary to order ojek.”

“Sama-sama. Not thought about. I'll drive you home again.”

“Thank you really, Bar.”

Harsa can only be silent. “Why did you do it first?" Ask Harsa at the end. He wants to switch the conversation.

"Eat!! Eat well! When will I eat well outside?" Barasa word without further ado.

The three children ate a large meal. Then they play escape room even though Harsa can no longer feel tense because her aura can detect the presence of everyone as far as two hundred meters away from her, including people who play as ghosts there. At Elis's request, they look around the knick-knacks shop for birthday gifts. Elis bought a pack of hairpins while Harsa and Barasa gawked at the girls' belongings. They end up in the corner of the cellphone cables without the intention of buying one bit.

"Maybe I should have found a necklace for Elis." Harsa said without a second thought.

"Make what? His birthday is still long." Comments Barasa.

"Nothing, please. Who knows if he likes."

"If you give me a necklace, I'll give you a ring." Barasa's response was unfriendly.

Harsa threw a surprised look. "Already, mending a promise we both do not give anything.”

"Agreed."

When tired of walking, they go to fast food restaurants to buy cold drinks and ice cream. They were busy looking for an empty seat in the restaurant that was already full when the jaws of Harsa were wide open.

“Hah?” Harsa could not help her surprise.

Is correct. Adi and Aster were sitting on one of the restaurant's benches. Some standardization exam textbooks are placed on a table that is supposed to be for four people.

“Wah, you know, Barasa? Ask together can not? It seems like nothing is empty anymore.” Elis's Proposal.

“Ya, kenah. Adi's sister is Harsa.” Barasa said while looking at Harsa.

“Yes. Granted, but I don't know if they're both-” Harsa doesn't continue. He just walked towards Adi and Aster.

“Kak Adi.” Call Harsa.

Adi was surprised to hear Harsa's voice. Sangking surprised him, Aster who responded first. “Sa! Is there a Barasa with Elis too? On what?”

“Hehe, we again play.” Answer Barasa friendly.

“You together?” bring Aster directly.

“Mau! Can?” Elis answered excitedly.

Aster and Adi put away the books in order to give them space to eat while Barasa took another chair for them. Looking at the pile of books, Harsa had guessed that Aster and Adi were studying together, but she was inexhaustible. Adi would definitely not be able to pay for the food he ordered here. No, actually seeing Adi eating a burger is also very surprising. However, he decided not to ask any questions.

“Lis, keniin. This brother. Brother Adi.” Says Harsa introduced them both. “Kak Adi, this is Elis. He's my classmate.”

“Yes. Greetings know.” Adi replied without extending his right hand.

“Greetings, brother.” Reply Elis. “Kak Adi is already in college? You look mature once.”

Maybe than ‘adult’, more suitable word is ‘eccentric’. Inner Harsa. Adi did not change his appearance at all. Light blue hair and white eyes. Also his army uniform was dirty hit by the ground.

“No. I've been working. Indeed our age is far different.” Answer Adi in a flat tone.

“Oooo.” Elis nodded.

After that, the four of them ran out of talking materials. I ate the ice cream in silence. Elis checked his phone many times. Aster returned to memorize the History of Kasarewang, and Adi silently gazed into the distance. Meanwhile, Harsa's heart was not calm because it felt so awkward. He tried hard to find the conversation.

Duh, plis. Whatever!! So awkward! It feels like people are cheating and then interrupting their dates!

Fortunately, one topic was in his mind.

“Ter! By the way, you said you wanted to be stronger?” ask Harsa.

Aster had looked at it strangely, then realized Harsa's intention was to fight formskitter on the standardization exam Kasarewang. “Ohh, yes, yes. Why so?”

“What if you study with his grandfather Barasa? He opened that martial arts course. If you need proof, this Barasa trained with his grandfather so much stronger. Yesterday to win the martial arts race!”

Aster thought about this idea seriously in his head. “True too. That time too. I can feel the movement of the physis in the body because it is taught the same martial movement Barasa.”

I immediately welcomed the idea with excitement. “Wah, come, Ter. The vows are not expensive kok.” He directly promoted his grandfather's martial club. “We have instagramnya kok.”

Elis laughed seeing Barasa so excited. “Iya. This Barasa can actually enter the national team, you know! But the guy, greget.”

“Shush.” Barasa's face flushed.

“Part of you sure, Sa. If you really want to be a martial artist, instead of fighting now?” Asked Elis who was still disappointed with Barasa's determination to leave the martial world.

Barasa nodded confidently. “I really like martial arts, but I don't want to be tied to martial arts.”

The two continued to argue. Aster refocused his studies after recording the phone number of the Barasa martial club. Harsa noticed her two friends who were still coolly exchanging thoughts with envious looks because there was no chance to join the conversation. Meanwhile, Adi remained silent and took notice.
