"How about that?" Gently pitched girl's voice answered.
"I'm in front of the school gates ya. I can not go, please bantuin I ..
"" Oh yes, yes moment, Zar? "With a swift response to requests Ebenhaezar.
Moments later a pack of security guards open the gates of the school. Ezer was relieved selega-relieved, because he was finally able to enter. If today to not go to school, he would not take the exam in English practice which is planned to be tested during the day. Visible teenager white woman standing behind a pack of security guards waiting Ezer, Yufia Nirina name. Ezer close friend from elementary school and was so familiar Ezer call Fia as a frog.
Yufia called a frog because he loved the stuff with a picture of a frog or toad-related. Now, they both attended the same school in a Catholic high school in Makale, Tana Toraja. They are devout Catholic adherents. School rules there tight, but somehow could seduce pack Fia guard that opened the gate for him. Ah, or maybe Ezer was very very lucky today.
"Thank ya, sir?"
"The same, next time do not be late for ya." Mr. guard reply.
"Yes sir, but if you do not forget it .." Laughing little while showing off teeth gingsulnya and jogged into the school yard.
Fia watched the doings of his companions cute with a smile. Fia is angel rescue for Ezer.Because he often helped difficulty Ezer.
"Doc, you better deh .. Thanks huh?"
"Yes, ordinary aja .."
"You why late? Definitely staying up late watching the ball again .. Basic you tuh really hard was told ..
"" Hahaha .. "Ezer
laugh." How do you know anyway dock?
"" What did I do not know of lo?
"" Hahaha, you can just dock .. "tapped Fia.
At the junction of the halls, they parted. Fia walked into the classroom, while Ezer to the cafeteria to wait between classes. After an hour between classes, Ezer re-learning in the classroom. Until the clock showed 14:30, tonggg .. Teng Teng Teng Tonggg tonggg .. .. bells echoed mark teaching and learning activities have been completed. And as usual, Ezer and Fia home together.
Although the walk, they enjoyed their return journey, like a friend to have fun. During the journey to their homes that happen to the complex, Fia prefer to smile, when Ezer told him about the greatness of Kaka in the ball game last night. The more so when Kaka scored two goals, so the win over the opponent team.
Ezer pat Fia, "Frog? kok lo diem mulu anyway?
"" No really, Zar .. "said
Fia." if baseball diem, so his name what, then? Meditate? Imprisoned? Silence? "Said
Ezer." Yeeee, ngeledek mulu lo. "Said Fia.
Yufia up in a house with a large fence. Yeah right, his home. He bid farewell to Ezer as usual "bye bye."
Ezer walked to his home not far from the home Fia. Runs down while gathering inspiration for new ideas today. Ezer is a writer. His articles have been widely published in teen magazines in Makassar. His name is quite well known for his work in the school bulletin board, he was creative. Ezer is not a smart kid in school, the only subjects he mastered is ICT, for his habit of struggling with the screen since childhood. But the man whose name has always had shortcomings. One of the most striking deficiency of Ezer is a hobby that is often late for school.
In contrast to Yufia, he was a teenager intelligent, industrious, and talented in the field of academic and non-academic. Her achievements were brilliantly made his name became the top after Ezer. However Yufia is a cool teenager, the only friend he had just Ebenhaezar.Every day, Yufia to school escorted by his personal driver. While Ezer just walk. Ezer instead of not being able to buy a vehicle to use for school. He thinks that there is nothing wrong with walking exercise every day. Moreover, the distance home from school not too far away.
Each home from school, he always walk home with Fia. Fia was deliberately told the driver not to pick him up after school. The next morning, Monday. Ezer rushed morning Fia headed home on foot. Today he went with Fia, enjoy the atmosphere in the morning along with his best friend. While waiting Fia out of the house, Ezer home chatting with security guards. Fia home guards have been friends with Ezer, every morning they always greet each other, even exchanged phone numbers.
"Bye-bye Mr. Rudi, the spirit of his work." As he showed off his trademark smile.
"Jagain non Fia yaa." Shouted Mr. Rudi reply joke Ezer the start away from home Yufia.
Every day in the classroom, Fia always waiting picked Ezer for the canteen. Fia not too familiar with the students at school, he hung up on her. He was only familiar and comfortable with one person, Ebenhaezar.
