Chapter 12 - Friendly Match

This morning Likha is very busy, she has been going to school since six in the morning. As one of the organizers of the friendly match between high schools plus, Likha must be willing to leave earlier than the others. When they arrived at school, almost all of the committee members were already present including Keenand and Ba'ih as well as Ida and Weny. There is also Riyanto, they have been busy since yesterday afternoon including Likha and Keenand who were in charge of inviting Azzam as the motivator. Today's program will start at eight in the morning.

"Likha, you help Ida and Weny at the reception desk. You girls will receive guests. Meanwhile, Keenand and the others will take care of the rest. When all the invitations have arrived you can join us." Ba'ih interrupted Likha and Likha nodded.

"Ready, as well as later I'll see if any of those we invited yesterday were absent." Likha then joined Weny and Ida. There are about eight high schools that they invite and this friendly match is divided into several categories, including sports, science, mathematics, chemistry, and English and of course the most interested is sports. Meanwhile, for others, participants were directly selected by their teachers to represent their respective schools.

"Likha, yesterday you met Azzam, right?" Weny asked, Ida also listened to their chat

"Found it, because Keenand has made an appointment in advance. Besides this holiday, it seems Azzam doesn't accept an invitation other than just from our school. He wants to return to his hometown for a vacation, he said." Likha explained a little about what Azzam said yesterday. When they were busy chatting, Keenand was seen approaching Likha.

"Excuse me Ida, Weny, I want to borrow the Likha for a while, okay? We have a little problem that we have to discuss, just for a moment." Keenand was very good at seducing his two seniors, they let Likha go.

"Please Keenand, it's okay to take a long time. As long as it still has to be returned. Don't take it home to your room, hehe" Ida and Weny laugh at Keenand and Likha.

"Yes, no, bring it to my room. Can we both marry later? It's good to have a handsome husband like me in Likha." The floor of Keenand's mouth was really venomous, Likha slapped Keenand's head slowly.

"Keen, I was feeling sucked yesterday, but why did you shift your brain? Come on, let's get out of here. What business do you have with me?" when they heard Likha's words, Ida and Weny burst out laughing. Likha and Keenand immediately resigned to discuss the problem that Keenand would convey to Likha

"What's wrong, Keen? What's the problem?" Likha asked curiously. It turned out that Keenand invited Likha to the teacher's room, where Ba'ih was also an English teacher who was waiting for the two of them.

"Likha, we apologized beforehand, but we want to ask your help once and you can't refuse." the teacher of the English subject immediately spoke on the subject matter.

"Why, what can I help you, sir? If I can afford it, I will definitely help you." Likha of course will help, whatever it is as long as she can be sure she will help.

"Look, Likha, the participant who represented the competition for the English category was unable to attend. So we ask you to replace it, Keenand said your English is pretty good. So you want you to replace it, right?" Asked the teacher, Likha thought for a moment because the committee, Likha knew about the material that had to be delivered in this English competition, that every student from each school had to make a speech in English with the theme of the environment.

"But sir, isn't this English speech the first program, right? And we as the hosts have our turn to appear first? I want to change to perform, but I can't promise to win, sir? Because I didn't have any preparations." Likha said bluntly.

"It's not Likha's problem, the important thing is you are willing, right?" asked the teacher. Likha nodded and right now Likha had to get ready because mc had summoned a representative from her school as the host to immediately appear as well as opening the event.

"Keen, Ba'ih, teacher, I'm going now, pray, I hope I'm not nervous," Likha asked for their support and everyone of course gave their full support for Likha because now Likha had to represent their school. Likha immediately got on the stage and began answering the questions of the judges before Likha spoke in English. After they were satisfied with their questions, now was Likha's time to act.

"Good morning, happy audience, let me deliver a speech about the environment so that we can learn a lot of lessons. As we know, the environmental conditions we live in today are very much different from the environment several decades ago. If in the past we could easily find it. trees, now the land containing vegetation has been replaced with housing.

"Environmental problems are not only limited to plants if we are sensitive but many fauna or animals also lose their habitat. Humans take their place of residence so that the animals have difficulty finding a place to live again. Not infrequently, animals that cannot find a home will be attacking humans for food.

"Therefore, we should start from ourselves to cultivate a sense of love for the environment. Use easy and simple methods, such as disposing of garbage in its place, not using plastic when shopping, and conserving water usage. That's a speech about the environment from me. , let's protect the environment together, thank you.

"Applause echoed below the stage, Likha immediately stepped off the stage and returned to Keenand, Ba'ih also their English teacher.
