Cigarette smoke billowed violently, soaring in the air and then melting with the wind which then rustled softly.
Coffee smoke does not want to lose. He competed steaming up there. Mix and fuse together with cigarette smoke and wind particles.
A burst of laughter. Happiness burst.
The five high school kids are enjoying their freedom from the frenetic numbers. They agreed to run away from mathematics and chose to relax in a small lepau in front of the school.
By the naked eye, it can be seen that they have a high and contained character. White skin, handsome face. His eyes are always successful in capturing anyone who looks at him. Her nose is sharp, like a slide in a kindergarten. Then his mouth, red like a pomegranate, broke.
"Eh bro. By the way, how are you in the class? "Drunk again the numbers times, hahahaha." Haikal said ended with a super crisp laughter.
Again, laughter broke out again. Not only Haikal, now Alvaro, Nathan, Dilan, and Ge also laughed.
"If I'm there now, maybe my brain has gone pale, bro." Nathan joined in the comment.
"Really, I better play football until 100 days 100 nights nonstop rather than having to struggle with mathematics," Alvaro said.
And, all of them spoke up one by one. Talking about those who are thankful has been freed from the shackles of mathematics.
After everyone spoke up, Nathan changed the topic. He launched into a joke, making laughter explode again.
But, there is one who is not laughing now. Namely Ge.
There was a ray at the west end, seizing his attention. The white light which was originally small, then metamorphosed into a large and then enlarged to a large mega giga.
And for some reason, Ge was very curious. When he was about to ask his four friends whether they also saw white light or not, his mouth was speechless. Meanwhile, his friends instantly changed like statues. Still not budging though. As if wantu stop.
Ge was surprised not playing. He tried to move his body movements, and ... can!
But why did his friends freeze, not move or even blink while free to move?
Like someone was hypnotizing him, Ge walked toward the light at the other end. After that he ran as fast as possible because he was curious about not playing with the light.
Not until he approached the light, the world suddenly raged. As is reversed by God.
"Anjrit, is this an earthquake?" Muttered Ge shocked. That's a Ge. Harsh and arbitrary words are indeed his habit. Very bad indeed.
Suddenly, Ge's gaze turned black.
Ge opened his eyes. This time there was no glare.
He did not know where it was, what was clear was now the unpleasant odor pierced his nose. Squeezing his nose.
Ge looks around.
"Is this under the bridge?" He asked slowly, very slowly.
He walked indefinitely, while closing his nose. This pungent odor is very disturbing Ge. The taste, he wants to vomit up to thousands of liters of vomit.
And…
Ge stop the road. He was surprised. His throat tightened and his mouth formed the letter O.
The reason, he saw himself there. Near the rubbish heaps. Wearing dirty clothes that are not suitable to wear. Holding a bad book for mercy — even better fried wrappers.
Ge approached a child who looked like him. After being near him, the boy turned his head. His eyes were initially centered on the book, now turned to Ge.
The child who looks like Ge spreads a smile.
"Hi." He said shortly. "Recommend, my name is Ge. I am here studying, hoping that I can become a successful person. "The boy extended his hand. Apparently the name is also the same as Ge. You are both named Ge.
"If only I could go to school. Do you know? From the first, I really wanted to go to school. If I could, I would be very grateful. I am willing to sacrifice one of my lungs for school. Unfortunately, that action is ridiculous. Nobody wants to buy my lungs. Hahahaha, "The boy laughed dryly.
"But, even though I can't go to school, doesn't mean I have to give up right? As the saying goes, there are many paths to Rome. So, I still have another way even if I don't go to school. Yeah ... like this for example. I have to learn from used books that I took from a pile of rubbish, "
After the boy spoke, the world shook again. In an instant, Ge was already somewhere else.
Where is this? He thought as he rolled his eyes.
Actually, if I may be honest, in his heart he was still thinking about the strange incident earlier. About who the kid was. Why does he study under the bridge? And why does he look like himself?
"Ge, you are in the future. This is your future. "
Suddenly a strange voice rang out. Echo. Shook Ge's heart.
Ge increasingly does not understand what he is experiencing right now.
"Walk straight ahead, then turn right. You will find yourself there. ”Again, the voice spoke.
Ge searched for the sound source, but unfortunately there was no one around. There are only neat paved streets, towering trees that stand firmly on each side of the road, and colorful sidewalks.
"Where am I now?" Ge frowned. Hope the voice answers the question.
"You are in the future now. Once again, if you want to find yourself, go straight ahead then turn right when there is a right turn. "
Ge did it unconsciously. He only realized when he was walking straight. After all, rice has become porridge. Ge finally continued his journey.
As instructed, he turns right when there is a right turn.
Apparently it's a narrow alley. Ge walked along while humming the song Akad from Payung Teduh. That's his favorite song, because the meaning is deep and very meaningful for a man like him.
But, the singing and steps stopped when Ge saw ...
There was someone in the narrow alley, sleeping on the street without a single mat. His face was covered in a dull hat.
"Who is this? Is this me? Ah sh * t, there's no way that the handsome guy would be a bum like this. I want to be a soldier. "Said Ge as he folded his arms.
"That is you, Ge. Believe it or not. Therefore, open the hat that covers the face of a bum. "
Ge's hand spontaneously removed the hat from the face of a bum. How surprised Ge. Because, who was lying in the narrow alley ... Himself.
"Here you are 6 years from now, Ge. This is your future. You become a bum, who has no place to live. Your parents even gave up taking care of you. ”The voice was heard again.
"If you hadn't been lazy, you wouldn't have become a bum like this. Surely you can reach your goal of becoming a soldier, as long as you are persistent and willing to try and want to learn. "
A split second, a light burst. Enlarge and enlarge. Dazzling eyes, making Ge squint to close it.
The world shakes again, then spits Ge to its original place; lime filled with cigarette smoke.
Time returned again as usual.
Cigarette smoke rose again freely, soaring in the air. Followed by coffee smoke that did not want to lose steaming.
Ge threw away his cigarette. He threw it with all his strength.
"Ge, why are you hot?"
"Ge, I think you have to do it."
"Ge, have you rubbed it?"
Various comments dair mouth of his friends. But Ge doesn't care. Then he approached Aunt the owner of the lepau in front of the school and paid for the cigarettes and coffee that he had consumed.
After that, he ran away from the lime.
The four friends, Alvaro, Nathan, Dilan, and Haikal shouted for Ge but Ge ignored him.
Ge climbed up the back fence of the school in one minute. His sense of enthusiasm flared up violently. He ran to his class. It doesn't matter whether he will be scolded or not, but clearly his determination is unanimous. That he wants to study. That he wants to be successful.
While in front of the school, Alvaro, Nathan, Dilan, and Haikal talked about Ge's strange behavior.
While discussing, there was a light caught in Alvaro's eyes. That makes Alvaro curious. Then, time seemed to stop. And Alvaro walked towards the light.
The light at the other end, the same light as the one that was carrying Ge. Successful light teaches us that learning is important for the future.
And one by one, all experienced it. After Alvaro, followed by Haikal, Dilan, then Nathan.
