MOTHER BERTINA, Vladd's lively homeroom teacher, seemed busy going back and forth arranging for the children to load their luggage onto a large tourist bus. Meanwhile Vladd and his friends looked very enthusiastic. How can you not be enthusiastic? This study tour is indeed a bit different from the others. The theme is back to nature. They will visit flower and spice plantations that usually only grow abroad. But the plantation is in a village on the outskirts of Sukabumi city.
"Su Yin! Bianca! Quickly take your luggage to the bus! Marigold! Stop combing first! Perry, James, Yudiantara! You three, don't just chat!" Bertina shouted.
Vladd's friends slowly moved onto the bus. Meanwhile, Vladd was sitting pretty on the bus, reading the e-mail that had just arrived in his subnotebook. Next to him, the twins Nanda and Nandi were curious to read Vladd's e-mail.
"Tiger Wood? You sent e-mails to Tiger Wood?" shouted Nanda in awe.
Vladd just grinned a little.
"That Tiger Wood who is good at golf? Let me know, Vladd! I'm a big fan!" Nandi insisted enthusiastically.
Vladd hurriedly switched his e-mail, so it was a game. Then it's really cool to have fun playing games. The twins didn't know that Tiger Wood's e-mail friend was
Actually, Mr. Eraisuli. Not Vladd. Papi Vladd is a fanatical fan of Tiger Wood. Discussion about golf via Vladd's e-mail. It's not that Eraisuli doesn't have e-mail. This is just one of Eraisuli's forced efforts. Let Vladd get to know Tiger Wood. Get him interested in golf. Even though Eraisuli's efforts had no effect at all. Vladd remains reluctant to golf. He still didn't move from his computer and remote control.
After getting tired of chasing her students to get on the bus, Bertina's mother could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The entire class and their luggage have already entered the big bus.
In the middle row, Su Yin looked awkward looking left and right. Understandably, this car owner's son has never ridden a bus in his entire life. At school he was the only student who didn't take the shuttle bus. Every day I go to school in a different car. Su Yin grinned at Bianca who was sitting beside him.
"Ehh, it's not bad taking the bus!"
"That's why, be a little populist! Once in a while, you can feel like riding a bus. Don't keep riding in a sedan!" Bianca said while her eyes couldn't take her eyes off her Tamagotchi Dino who was having fun playing.
Popular? Is riding a tourist bus full of everything considered popular? Vladd's school kids really suck. How have they ever felt like they were riding a bus hanging in a tangle, pressed together from various directions and smelling of forty-four kinds of sweat?
In the back corner, James, Perry and Yudiantara were busy arguing with the three of them. They were busy planning a strategy to attack Vladd, their common enemy. Yes, the geeky-looking genius child is indeed a common enemy. James is annoyed because Marigold, James' girlfriend, often sticks to Vladd. Yudiantara was annoyed because of his position as deputy
Indonesian students in the International Mathematics Competition were displaced by Vladd. Perry? Ahh, this burly Menado actually doesn't have a strong reason to be hostile to Vladd. But because Perry is James' strong friend, he feels obliged to hate Vladd too.
Marigold joined in sitting next to Vladd (after successfully elbowing Nanda who was stunned). Watching this scene, James immediately frowned. Perry and Yudiantara tried to calm him down.
"Calm down, James," said Yudiantara, patting James on the shoulder. "Later at the location we will work on him thoroughly!"
Perry rubbed his fists. "He's right, James. Don't worry! As long as Perry is there, everything will be fine!" Perry said confusedly.
For a while James smiled in relief. But as soon as he turned again to Marigold who was having a baby on Vladd, James' smile immediately disappeared.
Throughout the trip, Vladd's remote didn't do much. Only once did he switch the busy ska rhythm to Incognito's acid jazz. Everyone was amazed but no one protested. After a while I got bored listening to ska.
Finally, the small study tour group arrived at the location. The girls were immediately fascinated to see the expanse of wild flowers that they usually only see in Europe. They were immediately busy taking photos excitedly.
Vladd was pulled by Marigold to take a photo together with wild flowers in the background. Wow, very romantic! The trio of James, Perry and Yudiantara rushed to them.
Perry grabbed Marigold's Polaroid camera in an aggressive manner. Then set the timer. Together with Yudiantara and James, the three of them posed like bodybuilders. Marigold, who had given up, could only grumble.
Meanwhile Vladd secretly pressed the new button on his remote, back to the origin. When the three troublemakers enjoyed their photos, everyone was shocked. What they saw turned out to be a photo of prehistoric humans in Ade Rai's style. Very funny!
Marigold, who was curious, snatched the photo from Perry's hand and immediately started giggling with Vladd. Marigold enthusiastically rushed into the group of friends. Wanting to show the photo to the other children: Perry, James, and Yudiantara smiled together. Yudiantara stamped his shoes on the ground, annoyed.
"This must be Vladd's doing! It must be his work!" increasingly full of revenge.
James nodded in agreement.
"There's no mistake, Yud! I'm sure too, it's definitely him!"
"Really? Vladd didn't do anything to us, right?" Perry said innocently while scratching his newly bleached hair.
Yudiantara looked at Perry, annoyed.
"What about you, Peet? Do you think Marigold can just stick to it without Vladd doing anything?"
"What do you mean, Yud?" James asked suspiciously. "What is Vladd doing, Marigold? Speak clearly, please!"
"Yes, Yud! I'm crazy too!" Perry said curiously. Yudiantara grinned slightly. He just realized that he was dealing with guys with short brains. Everything must be clear. The conversation must be completely transparent.
"I mean, Vladd definitely has a secret that makes him a Marigold, admired by children. I don't know what it is. But I'm a little suspicious about the remote he always carries around," explained Yudiantara slowly.
"That's right, Yud. I was just wondering why Vladd was carrying the remote everywhere. Even though he didn't bring a TV, didn't bring a hifi, didn't bring a car." James nodded, also curious.
"To remote the laptop this time!" said Perry, pretending to be smart.
James spontaneously pushed Perry's head, annoyed.
"Hey, Peer, you're stupid to look after! You're going to hide!" cursed James.
Yudiantara grinned then looked at Vladd and Marigold who were together enjoying the natural scenery. "Eh, James, your girl is alone with Vladd again. Let's do it!"
"Come on, come on!" said James and Perry, enthusiastically.
Then the three envious boys rushed over to Vladd.
Meanwhile, Marigold was acting spoiled, pointing out the expanse of European kitchen spice plants.
"Baby spice, ginger spice..." Marigold fell silent, turning to Vladd, who had only been pouting. How can you not frown? Earlier, Vladd was excitedly playing a game, eh, this sassy girl grabbed his hand forcefully. Invite to identify kitchen spices.
Seeing Vladd who didn't react, Marigold became annoyed.
"What else, Vladd?"
"What else?" Vladd asked back. Keep smiling.
“Yes, Vladd. I already mentioned: baby spice, ginger spice. So what other kitchen spices do you know?"
While still frowning, Vladd continued, as long as he did.
"Cinnamon, mint..." Vladd stopped, looking at Marigold in surprise. Who was stared at with amused smiles. .
"Why? Something funny?" Vladd asked, offended.
"Are you really serious? I mentioned the names of the Spice Girls members earlier! Are you daydreaming, Vladd?"
Spice Girls? Damn. Vladd snorted in annoyance. It turns out that all that was in Marigold's head was that sassy girl's music group. Vladd immediately turned right and left Marigold. But after only walking a few steps, the trio of envious boys were already blocking Vladd. "There they are again," Vladd complained boredly.
Vladd excused himself for a ride. But Perry, James and Yudiantara intercepted him from various directions. Marigold witnessed this unbalanced scene and became angry.
"What are you up to? Aren't you satisfied being a caveman? Do you want to be apes too?" Marigold scolded, turning to Vladd. Make them Pongo, Vladd! Come on, Vladd!"
Vladd just groaned, didn't react. James became increasingly confused, pushing Vladd's body.
"Come on, Vladd! Where's your magic? Show it to the girls! Where?"
Perry and Yudiantara also cheered him on. Someone started kicking. There were also those who compared his head to Vladd's head. Marigold screamed and couldn't bear to see Vladd being abused. Too bad no one heard. Their location was quite far from Mrs. Bertina's group.
While trying to resist the attacks of the guys who don't know themselves. Vladd took out his remote. He repeatedly pressed the back to origin button. But the direction of Vladd's massage was chaotic because of the continuous torture. Suddenly James screamed. James' fur grew dark orange. His fingers also changed to resemble those of a monkey. Everyone looked at James, shocked. Suddenly, Yudiantara seemed to be scratching all over his legs. He quickly took off his airwalk shoes. He stared in surprise to see that his entire leg was also covered in thick hair like James' hands. Yudiantara's soles also belong to monkeys. Before the surprise was finished, Perry scratched his face. It didn't take long for Perry to have the head of an orangutan.
Marigold, who was excitedly giggling, was hastily dragged by Vladd away. Vladd had mixed feelings. Between relief and pity. Relieved that the torture of James cs is over. It's a shame, because Vladd himself doesn't know how to return the three of them to their original form.
When Vladd met again with the trio of envious boys during a demonstration event for making aroma therapy from wild flowers, James had already hidden his monkey arms wearing a long-sleeved jacket, while his palms were wrapped in Perry's boxing gloves. Meanwhile, Yudiantara, walked with difficulty wearing mountain sandals and thick socks, hiding his monkey feet. How's Perry? He turned up the collar of his leather jacket, wore ski goggles and a wool beanie that hid his orangutan face. Everyone looked at the three of them in surprise. Before long, everyone was giggling.
The one who was worried was Vladd. He felt guilty for turning James into an ape man. Vladd slowly approached Perry, whispering softly, "I didn't mean to make you like this. Believe me, I will try as hard as possible, so you can be normal again."
Perry didn't answer. His voice was an annoyed growl, just like an orangutan.
James and Yudiantara unconsciously started growling like Perry.
The whole room was shocked. Soon everyone was giggling again.
In the evening, Vladd's school children stayed overnight in the Sukabumi area. Vladd couldn't sleep thinking about the fate of the three envious boys. He was busy dismantling his remote control. Vladd took a deep breath several times. Then he continued fiddling with the remote until he fell asleep on the floor.
Early in the morning Perry banged on Vladd's bedroom window. Vladd who had fallen asleep on the floor jolted awake. As soon as Vladd opened the window, he jumped in surprise. Perry's orangutan face standing right on the window sill is truly scary. Perry growled in offense. Perry tried to speak, but all that came out was a growl. He punched Vladd's bedroom window, irritated. Vladd, who was no longer surprised, rushed to get the paper and pencil on the table.
Tell Perry to write down his meaning. Perry grabbed the paper roughly. Then write.
"You're a bastard, Vladd. If you don't look back at me this morning, you won't be whole until Jakarta," wrote Perry.
Perry walked away. Not long after, James and Yudiantara appeared at Vladd's window carrying the same threat. Vladd panicked. Not because of the threat of a trio of envious guys. But panicked because he felt responsible. Vladd was confused, how to return the boys to their original form. And spending all night fiddling with the remote, to no avail.
Meanwhile James isolated himself in his room. They don't want to be the laughing stock of children. Apart from that, they are also busy discussing. What kind of torture would be appropriate for Vladd? What's the child doing? If you just kill him, that's convenient for Vladd. Vladd should have been tortured slowly. Let it die slowly too. Long and painful. Hii, sadist, yes.
While he was busy making plans, James' cell phone rang. "Yes? Who is it?" James said unenthusiastically. "Ehh, Marsella! What, Sell? Follow? Ehh, wait, Sell! Wait!" James turned off his cellphone sluggishly.
"Marsella, my cousin. She wants to confide in me. You want to follow me here." .
Perry jumped in surprise. His voice was a loud, panicked growl. Yudiantara quickly handed him paper and a pen. Perry wrote hastily.
"Are you crazy, James? That's Marsella, your friend who Leonardo Di Caprio once had a crush on? The one you want to introduce to me? Cancel it, James! Don't let her come here! I don't want her to see me like this!"
"I can't, Peer! She's already on the way to Sukabumi. Forbidding Marsella is the same as forbidding a baby from peeing the bed. She can't be stopped. Just accept fate, Peer. Do you think I like meeting her with orange hairy hands like this?" James was clearly bored.
Yudiantara smiled amusedly.
"Well, if you don't want to meet that girl, I'll meet her. Besides, I don't like Leonardo Di Caprio either. But what's clear is that in terms of looks, I'm more handsome than Perry, right?"
Perry punched Yudiantara hard in the stomach. Yudiantara grinned and grinned.
In his room, Vladd also didn't go out. He is busy surfing the internet world. Trying to find a solution for the three monkey men. He fiddled with the remote again. Very solemn! About an hour later, Vladd smiled with satisfaction.
A mercy jeep entered the plantation yard. Marsella, the driver of the mercy jeep, jumped happily to breathe in the fresh air. In the room, James peeked through the window curtain.
"O, my God! Marsella has arrived! Perry, hurry up and hide under the bed!" James screamed.
Yudiantara, who was curious, also peeked. .
"Wuww! Very cute, James. Just for me, okay?"
Perry, who had gone under the bed, appeared again. He doesn't want to lose. I want to see Marsella too. I really don't feel like I'm willing if Yudiantara takes his "quota".
Perry appeared at the window. Growling and cooing in awe. Yudiantara dragged Perry. "Okay, you're hiding and teaching. If Marsella sees it, you'll think you're a monster!"
With a groan, Perry went back under the bed.
Not long after, there was a knock on the bedroom door. Yudiantara who had finished bathing
Eternity for Men, opens the door. A beautiful smiling face.
"You must be Marsella, right? James is there, but he's sick," Yudiantara pretended to be friendly.
"You're Perry?" Marsella asked kindly.
"No, I'm Yudiantara," said Yudiantara while shaking Marsellil's hand. "Come in!"
On the bed James covered his body with a thick blanket.
Marsella approached him. Kissed James' cheek.
"You're dirty, James. What's wrong with you? The flu?" James shook his head weakly.
"No, Sell. I think I'm just tired. How is Aunt Sonia? Healthy?"
"Oh, Jmes, it's like you don't even know Mami. So she has to take bed rest, there's a mid year sale in Pluit, answer that too!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Yudiantara rushed to open it. Vladd confidently immediately stepped in.
"I can return your form to how it was before. Come on, let me see your hands, feet and head. Let me return it!"
Vladd steadily grabbed James' orange-furred hand. Marsella stared in surprise. Vladd took off Yudiantara's socks. Once again, Marsella screamed when she saw Yudiantara's strange and very graphic feet.
"Perry? Where are you, Peer?" Vladd asked.
He smiled amusedly at Perry's big toe sticking out from under the bed. Vladd steadily dragged Perry out. Marsella screamed hysterically when she saw Perry's look. A few seconds later he fell unconscious.
Vladd, who had not noticed Marsella's presence, stared in surprise. "Eh, who's that girl? A village girl around here?"
Vladd. He only realized after James, Perry and Yudiantara prepared to strangle him.
"Wait! Wait! "You don't want to be ape humans for the rest of your life?" screamed Vladd. "'I can return you, but on one condition. You can't take revenge on me. The thing is, I didn't intentionally make you like this. I myself..."
"That's it, that's it! Don't talk too much!" James interrupted impatiently. "Right now you have to fix everything!"
Vladd pressed the new back to normal button on his remote. James, Perry, and Yudiantara returned to being ordinary people. But it turns out that the three envious boys still have a grudge against Vladd. The three of them prepared to pounce on Vladd. Vladd hastily pressed the freeze button.
James, Perry, and Yudiantara fell silent. Vladd smiled in relief. For a few minutes he would be free from their interference. Vladd walked away.
