The atmosphere of class XII IPA-1 is so crowded. Cheers rang out as Via and Doni entered the classroom. Coincidentally, they got to school almost simultaneously. Via and Doni are hailed as heroes. News of the English debate team's victory has spread.

“Congratulations to Via and Doni who have won the English Debate Competition, defended the championship title, and made the name of the nation eh school name. Applause for the champion,” said Toni, vice chairman of class XII IPA-1.

Applause echoed in the class. Sometimes I sound a scream.

“You are there. The other classes must have been astonished by you. The days of me and Via were treated like athletes who just got an Olympic gold medal,” said Doni while shaking his head.

“Now we listen to the victory speech of the champion who will be represented Brother Doni.”

“Haish. Ntar caught by the teacher, we got angry lo! Poor Ms. Aisyah, our homeroom teacher if this is a problem. Uda, disperse...bubar!”

“Eits. How grateful?” ask Mita.

“We are grateful for the presence of Allah subhanahu watala who has bestowed his rakhmat and life on us. Satisfied?” reply Doni.

“Not fun, Don.”

“Biarin!”

Some other grade children saw the frenzy of the children of class XII IPA-1 from behind the window. One of them is Lia. His resentment grew increasingly seeing the closeness of Via and Doni. His face was red.

“Congratulations, yes Vi. I'm proud of you guys,” Ratna said as she reached out.

Via welcomes Ratna's hand. While smiling sincerely, Via replied,” Thanks Rat. Even if you're not at the race, I'm sure you're praying for us, right?”

Ratna just smiled. He was still careful when talking to Via. The disc brake has been installed in the mouth so as not to kebablasan.

“You're not mad at me, are you Vi?”

“Anged? Hey...what excuse can I use to get mad at you?”

“Mmmm...that time.I was wrong to say, make you sad. I'm sorry, yes.”

“Ratna, you what the hell? Huh, huh! I still love baperan.”

“Are you really not angry?”

“Iiih..ni son of ngeyel very, sih.”

“Yes, yes, I believe. Thanks, my dear.” Ratna hugged Via tightly.

“Ratna, don't be more gini! Amused, tau?”

Ratna chuckles. The disc brake in his mouth was immediately removed.

“I won't see you.”

“Start again. Lilliputian. How many days have I not seen you? As a matter of fact," murmured Via.

“Two days, Neng. Twice ten hours of lessons without you, the world feels empty.”

“Bhuahahaha.. Kayak in outer space dong! Why why?”

“Kan no one loves cheat”

“Emang no repeat?”

“No, anyway. But his job is seabreg. Huffff... Can be skinny dry if you're not by my side a month.”

Via laughed again. Ratna is often.

“Let's buy. Once in a while, I can still practice you in the canteen.”

“Totally? Ngrepotin? Ah, pleased.”

“Hehe...share windfall.”

“Emang y'all yesterday given money?’

“There is an allowance. Well done, can make your practice. If I practice all my friends, I'll take dong. Bankrupt city.”

“You are my kind friend, not arrogant, ..”

“And love saving,” sambar Via followed by loud laughter.

“Ssttt..already, ntar kebablasan. Tuh, Mr. Ari in.”

Via closed his mouth. He immediately pulled out his Physics book.

During the break, Via and Ratna walked quickly to the cafeteria. If not fast, sometimes not in some places.

Thankfully, there is still a seat. They sit by the door. They are ready to eat some fried food accompanied by two glasses of orange ice.

"Eh, get the padlock's shirt. Sorry, yeah, intentionally. Lagian tumben-tumbenan the kingpin dare to the canteen. Have money? Or just begging?" said the girl who just spilled iced tea.

"Lia! You what the fuck? Why are you looking for something? What's wrong Via?" ratna shouted full of emotion.

"Hey, lackeys! Why do you believe the kingpin? He has nothing to pay you."

"I don't need a fee from a friend. You never have a friend, you don't know the importance of a friend."

"Wiiih, your moral pretender. What do friends do if they are not profitable. Which makes it complicated."

"Already... Don't extend it," Via tried to calm Ratna who almost hit Lia.

Via got up from his seat and went to the sink. Swiping the affected part of the iced tea spill so as not to stick. When he finished, he returned to the food storefront and picked up siomay with a lot of sauce.

Via took siomay to his seat. However, he accidentally passed Lia's seat and pretended to trip over the chair.

"Brakkk!" Siomay in Via's hand splashed and some of it hit Lia's shirt.

"Sorry, intentionally," said Via coldly. He relaxed to his seat.

"Lessly****you! How dare you fight me?" Lia stood approaching Via with a dead red face.

"Oh, of course not. I dare not, Miss," replied Via casually.

Ratna held back a laugh at the sight before her. He had not expected Via to dare to retaliate with such an unexpected action.

Lia was furious. He pulled his clothes until Via had to stand. Lia quickly snatched the glass filled with iced tea that stayed half of it. He poured into Via's body. Unfortunately, Via quickly dodged.

"Let's!" there was the scream of a man who had just entered the cafeteria.

"Doni! Sorry, I didn't intentionally. It's because of the bully and the lackey. Well, you got wet. Let's go to BK's room, yuk! We're calling them into action."

Doni smiled cynically. He approached the Via table. He had guessed that Lia was looking for because when he saw that Via's clothes were also wet like him.

"What's going on?" ask Doni.

"So the jellyfish accidentally smeared Via's clothes. Continue, Via lukahin siomay to jellyfish. Uh, the angry jellyfish, trus intend nyiram Via again. But it even got to you. Then you are destined to be the same fate Via" said Ratna.

"Diem you, lackey. No, Don. Her wet clothes weren't mine, anyway," Lia defended herself.

"You said you wanted to complain about this? So didn't you? Later I will ask for CCTV footage of the canteen" said Doni with a sharp look.

Lia just realized that in the cafeteria already installed CCTV. It is impossible to reverse the facts.

"Eee. I'm willing to compensate. Let me buy a uniform at the co-op, yeah," Pinta Lia said. His case bully Via in the library is not finished, he does not want to add to the problem.

"No need! You're sorry to Via."

"No, Don!" lia protest.

"Yes, we're done in BK."

Hearing Doni's threat, Lia was terrified. In the end, he apologized to Via.

"Sorry," he whispered.

"It's not like that! Apologize for what? You also have to promise not to repeat again. Say it clearly and loudly let everyone hear it!" doni's orders were firm.

Lia was very nervous. This situation really made him nervous, angry, and embarrassed.

"Hurry, Lia!" bentak Doni's.

Ratna tightly closed her mouth with her right hand. He struggled to hold back the laughter that was about to explode.

"Via, I'm sorry for bothering you. I promise I won't repeat!" shout Lia.

"Prok.prok..prok" The children in the canteen clapped. Lia ran out of the canteen.

"Bhuahaha... What a heartwarming scene," said Ratna. He felt relieved to let go of his laughter.

"Thank you, Don," said Via sincerely.

"Make what? Such a child needs to be taught a lesson."

"Your face got wet" said Via, feeling guilty.

"You too. Let me clean up first." Doni stepped into the sink and cleaned his clothes.
