The Successor of the Family
Pleasantly

"Opal... Go home," cried Alan from the front door of Rivan's house.

Alan certainly did not want to have to bother walking out the fence of the house just to call Nauval. The young boy who still occupied the primary school education level was playing in a neighbor next to his house. Without knowing about Alan's presence in his house.

Hearing a voice that he had not heard for a long time, Nauval just came out of the neighboring house. He looked around his lonely neighbor's house. Then he looked in front of his house. There was already Alan who ruffled the waist like boarding mothers who saw the residents had not paid the rent.

"Abang Alan.." exclaimed Nauval as he waved his hand enthusiastically.

"Boy home. Future presidential candidates are coming to this house. There are no guests of honor even welcome" cried Alan.

Nauval immediately said goodbye to his neighbor and hurriedly returned to his home. While Rivan and his mother can only shake their heads to see the behavior of the two. Though they can talk slowly, but even at the screams.

Grepp's...

Nauval just hugged his brother with love, and vice versa. Nauval is very happy to meet his savior. More precisely someone who helped his family rise from poverty.

"So brother just came to see Opal?" nauval asked after letting go of Alan's embrace.

"Salahin your brother. Go home do not give news, yes where you know." said Alan who now looks cynically at Rivan.

"Salahin, too, your brother, Val. He had just come home from his cage so where can be contacted," said Rivan who did not want to lose to Alan.

"Think Alan's a lion, got a cage for everything." muttered Alan who was upset with Rivan.

"You guys are making a fuss. Come on in, let's have lunch first." take Rivan's mother to break up the debate between them.

Rivan's mother was dizzy herself hearing the debate. Moreover, both of them do not want to give up. Nauval is happy because his house is very crowded. They immediately entered the house for lunch together.

"Tempe, tofu, vegetable soup, chicken, and sambal. Out of the country is eating pizza, burgers, or pasta so cake," said Alan with a little quip Rivan.

"Udah hitchhiking, eating again. Gee whiz... Guests don't know themselves" Rivan said, shaking his head.

"Guests are Kings. So waitress, don't protest too much" Alan said casually.

Rivan and Nauval's mother could only chuckle softly hearing that. They were not offended by Alan's words. Alan was his intention to only joke although it was a bit spicy also for people who did not know him. The four ate quietly until all the food on the table ludes.

"Guest of honor turned out to be doing tempe as well, ma'am. He's starving until all the food in front of him is gone" Rivan said, slightly quipping Alan.

"The "guest of honor also needs food for his stomach. If hungry, it will pity the fans who are confused because this guest of honor is limp." said Alan gave an excuse.

Rivan is very anxious with Alan who is so smart when it comes to making excuses. It feels like Rivan wants to bite Alan's cheek that is still puffed up like when he was a child. His face did not match his fierce behavior and could not stand still.

"Arnold.." cried Kenny saw his friend enter the school area.

"Ken.." call Arnold quietly with a faint smile.

"Where are the lessons today? Is there trouble doing the job?" ask Kenny.

"No. Maybe just a little while to work on it," said Arnold.

Arnold has been a little slow in his schoolwork. But the school and its friends understand that. Precisely some teachers and classmates helped Arnold by taking part in the task slowly. That's what they did to keep Arnold from feeling inferior.

"No papa. I'll just relax if I do. No need to hurry, anyway ngerjain about mathematics it must be careful" said Kenny calm his friend.

"Thank you. Oh yea... What about the smart race at this school? Our class has a replacement for me? There is no way I could have advanced in this condition, either" asked Arnold with a guilty look.

"Yet. The best fit is you, Nold. You are only working on it for a long time. But your brain just keeps going" Kenny said.

"I'm afraid to worry about all of you losing" Arnold said with a faint smile.

Kennya just patted his friend's shoulder slowly. It must have been really hard for Arnold to get through all this. Even Arnold is predicted to be a winner if you join the race. Moreover, this is to enliven the school anniversary event.

"Let's think the same as the homeroom class. We're going" Kenny said, making Arnold nod his head.

Both of them immediately entered the class and followed the lesson as usual. Arnold chose silence like the others. Unlike the old days who always ask or answer questions asked by teachers. Big changes happened to that class.

"Abang Arnold is handsome." cried Alan as he waved his hand at Arnold.

After returning home from Rivan's house, Alan immediately returned to his brother's school. He picked up Arnold on his bike. At the sight of his sister, Arnold could only pat her forehead slowly. Arnold was on a motorcycle but Alan came.

"What are you doing here?" ask Arnold.

"Get me brother dong, is it good brother handsome?" alan asked while raising his eyebrows.

"Giant from where did he try? Then bring your own vehicle. Why did you pick up everyone's brother?" arnold asked while shaking his head.

"We want a convoy on the street, brother. Let the children of the motorcycle gang rich that you know," cried Alan enthusiastically.

"Not good on the road so convoy. Disturb the other riders" said Arnold, who then picked up his motorcycle.

"Isa... Brother is not exciting. Come on, bang, this time. After all, Alan already uses the style of this motorcycle boy. Look at the helmet that Alan brought, this has a brother that is suitable for motorcycle gang children" said Alan with a little whining.

"Style okay. Leather jackets, jeans, and full face helmets. But look at the footwear and the vehicle you're wearing" Arnold pointed to Alan's feet.

Alan's eyes bulged as he looked at the footwear he used. When he left the house, he used his shoes. But now he only wears flip-flops that are different colors next to each other. I don't know where those sandals were used by Alan.
