IN front of the security post at Vladd's house, that afternoon Lukijo was practicing marching. What are you doing? Yep, he really likes that. If I don't have work, sometimes I like to practice Paskibra alone. Meanwhile, his colleague, Narsakip the gardener, whose clothes today have a large flower pattern that he should wear as a girl, is busy singing dangdut, singing along to the song in his ears covered with Walkman headphones. While swaying, he cut the dry leaves.
Lukijo stamped his feet like he was walking in place, then gave a signal to himself, "Rest somewhere, grak!" Lukijo immediately rested on the spot.
And that's when he heard a bitchy girl's voice behind his back.
"Uh, sir, there's Vladd, isn't there?!?"
Lukijo was shocked and immediately turned around. "Busy, just disturbing practice. Why are you looking for Mas Vladd?"
"Just for fun. Isn't that allowed?"
"Mr. Vladd is not allowed to receive guests. Because, Madam said, he has an exam at school tomorrow."
Sarah frowned for a moment, then smiled mockingly. "He said he was a genius, why did he use everything to study?"
"Isn't that allowed?" Lukijo replied.
But is it true that Vladd is still studying? Olala, apparently not. He was actually busy dismantling something on his study table which was full of small electronic components, and his busyness was disturbed by Sarah's shrill voice below.
Vladd got up and peeked out of his bedroom window. Below, Sarah and Lukijo are seen arguing. Sarah even pointed her index finger at Lukijo's face.
"What's wrong with neighbors visiting each other? You arrogant bastard!" Sarah shouted irritably.
Lukijo was angry at being called arrogant. "That's arrogant Situ! He's still so little he dares to yell at his parents!"
Sarah then accused again. "Eh, don't act like you're giving me advice, okay? Is that where my father is?"
"Oh, even if I get paid millions, I don't want to have a child like that! How come rich people have a style like this??! Schoolgirls don't eat in their mouths. They're inferior to termites!" said Lukijo again.
Sarah was clearly angry at those words. His feet immediately kicked at the gate while continuing to curse.
"The security guard just shouted at me! Did you know, this is the first time I've been scolded by a security guard!"
Vladd, who had been peeking around, felt that Sarah's behavior was a bit too much. And you have to learn a lesson. So he took the magic remote and pointed it at Sarah, while pressing the freeze button. Sarah immediately stiffened when. His stiff style was unique, he was kicking the gate. Lukijo was stunned. His eyes bulged out.
"Busyet, how can you be so stiff? Maybe this door has a big hole in it... So, don't be rude to big people!"
And Sarah remained stiff as a statue. Can't say anything.
Behind his bedroom window, Vladd grinned. Then his hand pressed another button on the remote. Rewind button. Instantly, Sarah, who was originally stiff, could move again. But his movements were not controlled, because it turned out he was immediately walking backwards towards his own house at full speed.
LukiJo, who saw Sarah like that, became even more confused.
"Busy! It was stiff, now it's going backwards... What's the same thing?
child?"
But Sarah couldn't say anything. He continued walking backwards towards his house.
"Wow, that's right, there must be a guard at this door!" said Lukijo in fear, as he immediately approached Narsakip, who was indifferent and still busy shaking his hips. Lukijo then forcibly removed the earphones from Narsakip's ears. "Kip, please prepare seven kinds of flowers and incense, I want to chase away ghosts at the gate!"
Narsakip was stunned when he heard Lukijo's order.
"Hurry!!!" Lukijo snapped.
"What are you Kate? Dammit?"
"Yes! At the gate there is a ghost!"
"I don't believe it. The devil here is afraid of the king...," said Narsakip, pointing at Lukijo.
"What? Don't you believe it? If you've checked it, then you'll know what it feels like. Hurry up, prepare seven kinds of flowers, put them at the gate. Hurry up!"
Hearing Lukijo's screams, Narsakip immediately ran away.
Vladd, who was peeking, giggled. But a second later, his preoccupation was interrupted by a signal sound from the monitor in his room. Vladd pointed the remote control in his hand towards the monitor, so that the monitor turned on. On the monitor screen, Maryati was standing in the doorway with a tray containing various kinds of snacks.
Vladd took a breath. Do not like it much. "Why, Aunt Mar?"
"Tea time plus, Mas Vladd," said Maryati.
"Why do you use 'plus' everything?"
"Yes, sir. Mas Vladd has an exam tomorrow, right? That's why Aunt Mar prepared nutrient-dense milk, multivitamins and trace minerals, so that Mas Vladd remains healthy and enthusiastic during the exam," explained Maryati at length.
"Bik Mar, I want to take an exam at school, not take part in the Olympics..."
"But all this is under Mami's instructions, you know, Mas."
"Okay, just put it in front of the door."
Maryati placed the tray in front of Vladd's bedroom door. Before leaving the front of Vladd's room, Maryati took the time to look at the monitor. Vladd became increasingly annoyed, then stuck out his tongue. Keki.

The class seemed so quiet. Everyone is busy fiddling with exam questions. Su Yin looked so calm checking off the exam paper. Meanwhile, Yudiantara solved the questions in a confident style. As for Vladd, it was finished a long time ago. He was enjoying playing a game of chess against the computer, via his subnotebook.
Mr. Bangke-as the exam supervisor-even had fun playing Tetris at the supervisor's desk. Mr. Bangke's preoccupation of course caused several children to steal opportunities. For example, Perry Lontoh. The big, stocky kid seemed to be having fun cheating. The printed book is placed on top. thighs, while his eyes wandered, afraid that someone would find out that he was cheating. Meanwhile, behind him, James was busy whispering to Yudiantara, asking for help.
"Come on, tell me, please..."
Yudiantara just doesn't care.
James then whispered again while threatening. "If you don't give it, I'll make enemies with you, you know!"
Yudiantara remains indifferent. He's enjoying himself.
On another bench, the beautiful Marigold was busy writing on a piece of paper, twisting it into small pieces and passing it to Vladd. Vladd was shocked, then picked up the paper. The contents turned out to be a request for help from Marigold.
"Dear Vladd, you are a genius, please tell me all the answers, Mar hasn't filled in yet... Sweet Marigold."
Vladd turned to Marigold. And the sassy girl immediately blinked, hoping that Vladd would answer. It turns out Vladd just shrugged and grinned, then became engrossed in his computer chess.
Marigolds are frankly really cute. Furiously he took the pen and wrote again. This time on bigger paper. Once finished, get ready to throw it at Vladd. Vladd, who was looking at Marigold, hurriedly played with his remote control and directed it to the paper that was now flying towards him. So, the paper flew higher and faster. Then it landed right on Mr. Bangke's face who was busy playing Tetris. Obviously, Mr. Bangke was shocked. He immediately got up and got angry, "Who is playing games? Do you know, because of this paper I am game over!"
Marigold and all the children in the class turned pale. Perry hurriedly put his book in, afraid of being discovered by Mr. Bangke. Meanwhile, Mr. Bangke immediately spread out the contents of the paper he had grabbed towards him. Then read aloud.
"You heartless man! People who are confused are not helped! I cursed you to be a rat, you know! Huh??? Who dares to curse me to be a rat? Come on, who threw this paper?"
One class became silent. Pale marigolds are no joke.
"Okay, if no one admits it, I will keep this paper, I will match the writing with the writing on the test paper."
Everyone remained silent. Marigold was getting sicker and more restless.
"Come on, keep answering those questions."
Mr. Bangke sat down again. Marigold finally didn't dare to take the exam again, afraid that her writing would be discovered. He could only stare furiously at Vladd. Meanwhile Mr. Bangke turned on his Tetris toy again. Vladd was again busy playing chess against the computer on his subnotebook. Perry, once he felt safe, took out his book again and placed it on his thigh.
Vladd, who saw Perry's actions, became nosy again. He then pointed the remote at Perry's book while pressing the fly button. So, a moment later the book in Perry Lontoh's lap rose to the top and flew away. Everyone turned their heads in surprise. Especially Perry.
"Bbb-my book. N-noooooong."
Su Yin immediately burst out laughing. "Sir, Perry cheated, sir. The ghost took his book away!"
"So, don't cheat!" mocked Yudiantara.
Mr. Bangke, who was having fun playing Tetris, got up angrily again. "What are you guys like? Can't keep quiet, can you? I won't be happy if my Tetris score reaches millions. Look, because of you, I'm game over again."
Meanwhile, Perry's book is still floating around. Mr. Bangke, who saw the book floating, stared in surprise. "Jeez, what the hell?"
Vladd grinned. Then press the drop button on the remote control. So, the thick book fell right on Perry Lontoh's head, causing Perry to groan in pain.
Mr. Bangke laughed. "Apparently the ghost in charge of this class doesn't like seeing students cheat. So, don't cheat!"
Mr. Bangke then glanced at his watch. "And, because time is running out, please collect all the questions and answers."
"But, sir..."
"Sir, I just answered five..."
"Sir, I haven't answered at all. What do you think? I'll just take the supplementary exam at your house, okay?"
There were protests from the children. But Mr. Bangke's decision was as round as his stomach. "No excuse! Collect it quickly. Period!"
Everyone looked annoyed. Except for Vladd, Su Yin, and Yudiantara who are known as smart kids.

During the sports exam in the next subject, James immediately attacked Yudiantara.
"Because of you, I failed my math test!"
"It's my own fault, why don't you study? Besides, I'm afraid of being discovered by the ghost of our class," said Yudiantara.
Perry confirmed Yudiantara's words.
"Yeah, aren't you afraid of the class ghost, James? Do you want to be like me?!"
While they were having fun arguing, suddenly a long whistle sounded. Mr. Wim - the sports teacher - is already wearing a complete trending outfit. His mouth was stuffed with a whistle and his neck was wearing a stopwatch. Mr. Wim is the type of sports teacher who is really indifferent. His nature is relaxed, he doesn't care about being laughed at here and there. The thing is, with a belly like that, Mr. Wim is more qualified to be a football player than a sports teacher.
"Everyone, rows two by two!"
All the students, including Vladd, immediately took positions in rows two by two. Nanda is next door to Nandi. Meanwhile, Marigold doesn't want to be next to Vladd, because he's still sulking.
"Today we will have a running test. Those who think they are boys will be tested first. Come on, boys, get ready at the starting line!"
Yudiantara, James, and Perry went straight to the starting line. They are already planning. Vladd instead moved away, pulling Su Yin's hand.
"What's going on?" Su Yin asked.
"I want to ask for help, please." Vladd then gave the remote control to Su Ym while turning his back to the people. "Take a look, okay?"
Su Yin looked at her remote control. "What are you doing with this?"
Vladd whispered to Su Yin, "You know I always lose when I run. So, press this button, then point it at me, then after two rounds, press this one. OK?"
Even though he was confused, Su Yin still nodded.
Meanwhile, James, Perry, and Yudiantara had already put their hips together waiting for Vladd. Mr. Wim blew his whistle.
"Vladd! Are you taking the exam or not?"
"Yes, sir." .
Vladd hurriedly joined the other guys. Get ready at the starting line. A moment later the sound of a whistle was heard. James and Yudiatara shot off like they were being flicked. Perry ran after him. Vladd lags behind. Vladd gave a signal to Su Yin with a nod of his head. Then, without anyone knowing, Su Yin pressed the fast forward button. So, Vladd shot like the Six Million Dollar Man! It runs really fast. It was so fast that as soon as his body passed James, James' hair blew up. In fact, when he passed Yudi, Yudi's glasses flew off in the wind caused by Vladd's fast movements.
All eyes looked amazed. Mr. Wim gaped in surprise. Even James, Yudi and Perry ran to the side of the field, afraid of being hit by Vladd who had run three laps so fast. Pak Wim then blew the whistle.
"Vladd! That's enough!"
But Vladd was still running. Su Yin hurriedly pressed another button. Stop button. But what happened instead: LOW-BATT! This means the battery is dead, it can no longer work. As a result, Vladd continued to run like a meteor. Vladd shouted, "Su Yiiiiin, help, I'm tired!"
"Sorry, Vladd, it says the battery is out," said Su Yin.
People were stunned, not understanding what was going on between Su Yin and Vladd. Meanwhile Vladd continued to run so fast that all he could see was the wind. Vladd screamed,
"Hellooooong...! Noooooongggg!!!"
Su Yin tried to reason, then hurriedly ran to get the mine. After that he gave the ends of the mine to Perry and James, "You two hold opposite ends."
Then, they spread the rope on the running track. As soon as Vladd passed, the rope was immediately lifted, until Vladd's legs became entangled and his body fell to the ground. That's the only way Vladd can be stopped. Vladd fell asleep with his tongue hanging out.
A moment later the ambulance arrived. From inside the ambulance, several people got out carrying a stretcher. Vladd was put on a stretcher. Su Yin and several friends escorted him into the ambulance. Before Vladd was taken away, Vladd told Su Yin not to tell her about the remote he had entrusted to her, and asked Su Yin to meet her this afternoon at his house. .
***
In the afternoon Su Yin went to Vladd's house, while writing
bring a fruit basket. Maryati took Su Yin to Vladd's room.
"Vladd isn't sleeping anymore, is he?" Su Yin asked.
"Yes, no, Miss Mar told you to get up to take medicine. Because of exams at school, Mas Vladd had to rest at home," explained
Maryati while climbing the stairs of the house. Then Maryati's eyes fell on the fruit basket that Su Yin was carrying. "Oh yeah, what is that?"
"Apples, Bik Mar. From New Zealand."
"Doctor Saragih said that Mas Vladd shouldn't eat fruit carelessly. Bik Mar will test it first, if the apple is good, you can give it to Vladd."
Su Yin willingly let Maryati take an apple from the neatly arranged fruit basket. Maryati chewed the apple. Then his eyes widened, as if enjoying an apple.
"Good! You can give it to Vladd." Maryati pointed to Vladd's room.
Vladd, who was lying on the bed, looked at his monitor and saw Su Yin walking towards his room. Behind him Maryati stood watching. Vladd hurriedly pressed the door button, the door opened. Su Yin came in and was happy to see that Vladd was refreshed.
"Vladd, sorry, at that time the battery ran out, I was..."
"It's okay. Now where's the remote?"
Su Yin took out the remote from under her jacket. "Here, I'll keep it. No one will know, because you forbid it, right? I also brought apples. Last night my mother ordered them from New Zealand on purpose, she chose freshly picked ones!"
Su Yin continued to scream, while Vladd hurriedly removed the battery
remote control and put it in the charger. Su Yin was busy talking...
"Vladd, I've heard it before, Mr. Wim gave you an A plus, twice the plus. You're really great."
But Vladd's attention was more on the remote control. Vladd took a spare battery, then installed it in the remote. In his heart Vladd thought, "Hmh, can it be done or not, this remote makes people's memories of one incident disappear..."
The problem is, Vladd is afraid that Su Yin won't be able to stand the stories about the superiority of her remote, and eventually the kids will find out. If possible, Vladd wants Su Yin to forget about this remote.
Finally, Vladd pointed the remote at Su Yin's face, while pressing the erase button. Su Yin seemed stunned for a moment. Vladd was nervously waiting for Su Yin's reaction. Until finally he tried to arouse Su Yin with a soft greeting.
"Su Yin?"
Su Yin seemed to wake up.
Vladd then showed him the remote control. "Thank you for returning this..."
Su Yin looked at the thing, confused.
"Go back? What's this, Vladd? Your TV remote, huh?"
Vladd smiled with relief, meaning Su Yin's brain could be cleared. "Oh, that's fine, if you didn't know. It's already afternoon, aren't you going home? Your driver will definitely be waiting."
Su Yin stood up. "Yeah, Vladd, I'll go home first. You have school tomorrow, right?"
Vladd nodded. Smile. Su Yin got up and walked towards the door. Just as Su Yin was about to go out, Vladd once again called, "Su Yin..."
Su Yin stopped, turned his head.
"Thank you for the apple...," said Vladd while biting one apple.
Su Yin frowned. "Apples? Who brought apples?"
Vladd laughed. I hope Su Yin doesn't forget the way home
his house....
