Jully Mahardika
Ep. 9 Curious
POV Jully's
"Bang Mamat soto the chicken is one! The same tea is also one.
"Ready neng Jully!" Answer bang Mamat behind a large pot of chicken soto that is still steaming hot. Soto ayam bang Mamat is one of my favorite menus in my school cafeteria. This morning I chose to enjoy my breakfast in the school cafeteria, because my mother and father had business at the home of one of the brothers who was out of town. They left yesterday afternoon and were likely to stay for a few days until their business was done. While I was at home alone with mbak Enin, my second brother, while my first brother mbak Saras was married and lived with her husband and children on the island of Bali. If both of our parents go out of town as they are now, there will be me and Mr. Enin at home. There is no such thing as breakfast at home as usual, I was busy preparing to go to school, while Mr. Enin was busy preparing to go to the office. Mbak Enin's office is quite far from home, so he had to leave early in the morning to work. None of us cooked for breakfast. Yep... This is where I now sit alone in the school cafeteria that is not too crowded, because it is still too early to wait for my order chicken soto.
"This is Jully's order." Finally came also the awaited, special chicken soto bang Mamat.
"Thank you bang... "
"Sama-sama neng, tumben also neng Jully early in the morning breakfast in the cafeteria?" Ask bang Mamat.
"Yes bang, my mother went to my sister's house again, so there's nothing masakin' at home." My answer.
"Oh... That is, if so neng please enjoy the chicken soto still warm."
"Yes bang thank you, soto bang Mamat is the best.." I said while giving my two thumbs up my hands excitedly.
"Oh... Yes definitely dong, bang Mamat that... I often eat soto chicken neng." Proudly follow.
I finally enjoyed my breakfast with excitement. Some students began to arrive in this cafeteria, some came just to buy drinks and some also enjoyed breakfast like me. But then I saw Ale come running a little with a clear sweat on his forehead. What did he just do in the morning with that much sweat? A sport? Jog? I noticed he bought a cold drink there, then drank it from a straw impatiently. What exactly is going on? Mending I asked him directly.
"Ale!" Call me.
"Ah... Julley's? You were here? Sorry I didn't see you." Answer while grinning.
"Where can you see? You suddenly come while running and buy drinks in such a hurry and drink it in a hurry also as if there is no tomorrow. What's the matter?" Askaqua.
"That's Jull, there was a mad dog on the street, uh he chased me to school, and then I ran here to hide all the drinks, and he bought drinks, I'm thirsty for Jull because I ran from there." Ale answered explaining.
"You run from a mad dog what's running from reality?" My God while holding back a laugh, Ale is funny if you panic again gini.
"Suer Jull's! There was a mad dog chasing me, too, would be afraid if it gets bitten can rabies." His mouth while shuddering in horror.
Then my gaze turned to the drink Ale drank, only to realize that what he drank was the same strawberry juice I used to find on my class table.
"Al, that's what you drink strawberey juice, right?
"Ahh this? This was when I ran here that my eyes immediately saw was the refrigerator bu Siti, that is.. Fried rice kiosk near his chicken soto stall bang Mamat. So I went straight there to buy drinks." Lighted me.
"Trus why should strawberry juice?" I ask you again still curious.
"Because all that is left in the refrigerator bu Siti is mineral water and strawberry juice, so I take this juice Jull... My energy was drained from running earlier, I'm gonna need something sweet." The light came back to me that I replied the mangosteen understood.
"Ohh yeah Le, you know that strawberry juice is always on my desk every morning right?" My toot.
"Ah.. He said from Mr. W's that?"
"That's what you know." Reply with a flick of a finger.
"And it's no secret, all the kids in the class are also on the know Jull times... Why the hell?" Ask curiously.
"You think strawberry juice was bought from this cafeteria, right? For example from the canteen stall of Siti's bu." I went back to Ale.
"It could be, it could not be." Ale's answer was unconvincing.
"Can't that be? It's most likely that juice also goes to school here, maybe a class with us too." I'm the one who doesn't understand Ale's answer.
"Why? You suspect that all of those who did was Wicky just because their initials were the same?" Guess Ale was on target.
"Well, who knows, right...?" My reply.
"This is Jull... First, Wicky is school only sometimes ogah-ogahan, what else should go early in the morning just to put strawberry juice on your desk stiap day must he have a taste... Something special to you, he'll choose another way than to get up early." Quietly in my heart I confirmed what Ale had said just now, pack the event to clear up any more taste issues... Um I'm gonna be embarrassed, I'm sure my face is like boiled shrimp now.
"Trus second, this juice is not sold here aja, in any minimarket there, it could be that people have bought it elsewhere before coming to school. The cafeteria doesn't always have stock." Clearly Ale who I think is right, could be that person already has a stock of strawberry juice that is prepared for me. Duh... GeErnya...
"I think your words and thoughts are true Al, so who do you think is that person?"
"I don't know Jull, who obviously has access to this school freely."
I went back to justifying Ale's words just now. It is not easy and it is not difficult to put a box of juice size 180 ml on my desk as long as he carefully and most importantly he has access to and out of my class or minimum access to this school. But observing someone who looks suspicious from so many people in this school is a very difficult thing. Aarrgh!! Dizziness! Why use secrets? Staying in love directly what is the difficulty?
"hey Jull... Sull... Julie! Ale suddenly patted my shoulder a little hard which shocked me instantly and blew away everything I had thought of just now.
"Astagfirullah Ale's.. Make a heart sport!" my snapping.
"Finally you shut up I called from earlier."
"Sorry Al, I was afraid... What were you talking about?"
"Hadeewwh... No need to think about it, just think about it, now back to class, bells go in sound, yuk?!" Take the Ale I did.
But just now we wanted to step away, suddenly Wicky came with a ruffled waist.
"Naaahh here apparently you're hiding ya Al." Wicky.
"Dead me! Crazy dog get here again." Ale said half a whisper.
"Ohh so you mean that crazy dog he is?" Show me off to Wicky.
"What did you say? You call me a crazy dog?! Here you are Le, let me bite you!"
Finally there was a chase between the two of them in the cafeteria that made some people who were there pay attention to them. Duhh makes it embarrassed, it is still a big child.
"Stop you two!" My lantern. They finally stopped.
"What the hell is going on with you two? The chase, the talk, the other one nyumpet, it's like Tom and Jerry." I was curious, because not usually Ale avoids Wicky to use a chat show and chase like this.
"Anu. that's Jull, Wicky... hmm. emmm!"
Suddenly Wicky smothered Ale's mouth that was about to say something, causing Ale to wriggle to be released from Wicky's hand that was smothering him.
"It's nothing Jull, me and Ale go back to class, bye Jully..!" Wicky immediately dragged Ale out of this canteen with Ale's mouth still smothered. What exactly are they hiding? Just make me curious. Ahh never mind, maybe I'll ask them again if I meet. Five minutes later the bell will ring, mending I'll be back now if I don't want to be late for class and in May the super killer Chemistry teacher kicked out of his class.
POV Jully off...
🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
On the other hand Wicky still pulled Ale with one hand still smothering Ale's mouth even though their distance with the canteen had already passed far.
"Hm.. Emm... Huh! Ahhh!!" Ale was finally able to take Wicky's hand out of his mouth and just straight away he scooped up as much air.
"Huh!! Crazy you Wick! What are you going to kill me?!" His protest was a little angry at the man whose fate was his own best friend.
"You almost leaked my plan to Jully." That's Wicky's defense.
"I don't agree with your plan, it won't benefit you but it will add new problems for you Wick." Ale answers, advising Wicky a little bit about Wicky's senseless plan. I don't know what that plan is, only the two of them know.
"If Jully gets to know about your ridiculous plan, she's gonna be mad at you." Ale tried to convince Wicky again. Ohhh... It has something to do with Jully Tooo... Of course about Jully, because Wicky's brain is now how to melt the heart of a Jully Mahardika.
"Then don't let Jully know!" Reply to Wicky who seemed to have no power over Ale's words just now.
"All you are.. What is clear is that I warned you, I don't want to know if anything happens." Ale stepped up to leave Wicky still standing where he stood. I don't know what exactly Wicky's plan is to make Ale mess with his best friend. Bell rang and Wicky began to walk in Ale's footsteps toward his class.
Seriate....
