"Why is there a task to Jogja a week, what if we all vacation? Incidentally, you also have a semester off," said the head of the household in the house, one afternoon. When they are relaxing enjoying the atmosphere of twilight while seeing people passing by from the terrace of the house with the purpose of each and the neighbors who pass by and occasionally greet.
Marsya and Marcel fell silent, lyrically interlocking and subsequently cheering happily. No matter the people who passed by glanced at them in wonder. A rare opportunity, they can vacation to Jogja. Their furthest holidays during this time are Jakarta and Medan and Palembang. It's more about visiting brothers than healing.
"When do you go, pa?" ask Niken. His children are still cheering to design what activities will be done during in Jogja later.
"3 more days. His cover letter came in, just got ready and left. Papa initiative invite you guys anyway than the kids are not going anywhere. Yes, even though he had to rogoh kocek himself because the journey borne only papa." The man who was no longer young gave an explanation.
"Yes enough pa, the cost of the plane was only three who paid for themselves, we ate only three, all-all just three," joked Niken.
"But papa's there working, so yes chances are you guys want to go for a walk also three." The husband apparently did not mind because this vacation was accompanied by work.
"No papa deh pa, papa who is looking for our money that ngabisin," said Marcel who was nod by Niken and laughter Marsya.
The preparation that was done for 3 days was quickly passed. Now the little family was already in Jogja and had a break in a hotel that is not too luxurious. They choose a hotel that is not too luxurious because in addition to the price is cheaper, they also only sleep in the hotel.
They do the morning flight so that until Jogja there is still time to rest and plan to enjoy the sunset in the afternoon. Papa they were so that they immediately slid into the branch office without having time to rest.
Marsya, Marcel and his mother are now sitting relaxed on the hotel balcony enjoying the view of the beach from a distance. They prefer to sit down and relax rather than rest and sleep. As usual, Niken sat in the middle and Marsya and Marcel flanked him.
"Ma, how is Niken doing after moving to Pekanbaru?" marsya asked suddenly. He remembered his mother still hanging the story of his youth.
"Oiya, ma!" exclaim Marcel spirit.
Niken looked far ahead. Digging into a beautiful memory when she first set foot in her new Junior High School. With a thin smile engraved, Niken said, "the first time to change schools? So that time..."
***
The long-awaited day for Niken has finally arrived as well. New school and a new future. Niken left school with a burning spirit after a week of his return he spent looking for the best school affordable by his brain. Finally here he is.
The SMP Hang Tuah.
"Of all, know my name Niken Aryani from SMP Budaya Jakarta." Niken introduced himself after being delivered by his homeroom teacher and Niken was in 7c.
"Call me Niken" said Niken kalem while smiling shyly. Niken also has to adjust the language here. The use of Lo Gue greetings is still public here, rather than counted students sok gaul, Niken chose to follow the culture here that still uses my greeting you.
After a brief acquaintance with his new friends, Niken was directed to sit on the very back bench, because only the bench had no occupants. According to Niken, after all, it is only a matter of order to sit, want to sit wherever Niken is not a problem, while his eyes are still healthy, can see from close or far distance.
Niken followed the lesson as soon as possible, because there were no friends he knew in this class. There may be one or two friends from her elementary school who went to school here but Niken has not met. It may also be in another class because it is impossible if there are no friends from the Elementary School who attended school here because this Junior High is one of the favorite Junior High School and is not too far from his home.
The bell of the break sign rings. Niken packed up her textbooks and was still confused about going to the cafeteria or staying in class because no one knew her. When he was still looking down to check the number of pens and pencils brought, there was someone who poked his arm and asked for news. Niken raised his head and laughed looking at that person.
"June!"
"You go to school here, Jun?" juna's answer was only a nod and even looking at Niken's face made Niken so wrong.
"Can we come back here again? Not happy in Jakarta?" Juna asked after previously laughing because it managed to make Niken wrong.
"It can't take me anymore, can it?" Juna just put his shoulders together.
"Sadly why not wait until a new semester moves. Just one more month."
"I don't feel at home, Jun's there." Niken gave the most common reason that if it did not make Juna wonder again why he had to change schools.
"Say you do not feel at home because it is far from your underarms," grumbled Juna who was immediately rewarded with laughter by Niken.
"Cantin yuk. I treat as a welcome to Hang Tuah Middle School." Of course Niken was happy to welcome Juna's invitation.
Throughout the break, Niken spent chatting about the state of their friends after Niken stayed in school in Jakarta. It turns out that not many of Niken's friends attended Hang Tuah Junior High School, most of them chose to attend SMPN 1 which has been patented to be the favorite Junior High School in their area.
Niken and Juna are in the same SD. Their home is also arguably not too far away, just different roads. Even so their relationship is not so close, only limited to knowing the name and face and being in the same school.
Their breakup that occurred only five months of course is still very attached to Juna's memory that Niken was his SD friend first. Therefore, as soon as the break arrived Juna immediately approached Niken and mince words to greet him. Niken who did not pay so much attention to the faces of his friends one by one, of course, was shocked at Juna who turned out to be a class with him.
