A high school senior is sitting in his classroom, not paying attention to the math teacher’s explanation at the front of the class, and just staring at the girl sitting in front of him. He’s sitting in the back row of his class, and in front of him is the prettiest girl in the class.
The student’s name is Budi Budiman, and at 18 years old, he still wonders why his parents gave him that name. But he decides to be grateful and embrace it with…happiness. He chose the science stream and is in IPA 2 class, which has 40 students, and he’s just average in terms of intelligence.
He comes from a humble family. His parents have a small shop at their home, and that’s their source of income for their daily lives. He has an older sister who is 25 years old and married. She now lives with her husband in Bogor, so Budi only lives with his parents.
He looks forward while massaging his forehead. Novi, the most beautiful girl in his class, has smooth white skin and long black straight hair that reaches her back. Even from behind, she looks stunning. Budi imagines Novi’s clean white face, sharp nose, and thin pink lips that complete her beauty. Novi is 165 cm tall with a slim body, and Budi feels like they match well since he is 174 cm tall.
Budi has short black hair and an ordinary face, but he has a charming charisma that makes people think highly of him. He is known as a polite and friendly student to everyone, and other students in school are friendly to him because he is always polite and smiling when he speaks. However, he doesn’t have many close friends because he keeps his distance from others.
But now he’s confused about what he should do. He looks forward while massaging his forehead, and in front of him, he sees a hologram screen that only he can see. There is a symbol of a piece of paper with the word “Quest” written on it. He has been seeing this for a week but has been ignoring it, thinking that he’s hallucinating. When he asked his mother about it, she immediately touched his forehead and asked if he wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up. She even asked if he was drunk or imitating the naughty kids who were being reported on TV. Budi gave up when he saw his mother’s reaction.
When Budi touches the Quest symbol, the screen in front of him changes, and there he sees:
Quest: Find out the color of Novi’s underwear, 12th grade IPA 2.
Reward: Cash prize of Rp 100,000.
“Hah… I must be going crazy,” Budi massages his forehead while thinking. He doesn’t know what’s wrong with him. He just picked up a dark red diamond that fell from the sky while playing games on his phone during a late-night weekend. But suddenly, the diamond disappeared, and this screen started appearing since then.
Budi was searching for information on the internet about the strange diamond but couldn’t find anything he was looking for, just stories about mystical stuff. He gave up and ignored it until now, but since the screen hasn’t disappeared for a week, he started getting curious. He wanted to know if the screen could really give him a reward, because a hundred thousand bucks is a big amount for Budi. He wanted to save up for college or use it as startup capital for a job after he graduates.
Budi didn’t want to burden his parents because he knew that college expenses were a lot for his humble family. He was grateful for his current situation, being able to go to school, and decided to quickly find a way to make money to help his family expand their shop.
But because this Quest was so dangerous and he had no idea how he could find out the color of Novi’s underwear, he felt ashamed of himself for even thinking about how to sneak a peek. He shook his head to get rid of those dirty thoughts.
Novi is a friendly and cheerful girl, and Budi felt bad for having such inappropriate thoughts about her. But on the other hand, he was also intrigued by this forbidden thing, imagining Novi’s underwear and her smooth thighs hidden under her skirt. Budi swallowed hard and shook his head again.
He snapped out of his daydream when he saw the math teacher, Mrs. Indri, standing next to his desk, smiling at him. The other kids in the class glanced at him, trying to hold back their laughter.
“What’s wrong, Budi? Do you have a problem?” Mrs. Indri asked with a worried look on her face. She was not only the math teacher but also the homeroom teacher for 12th grade IPA 2. She was concerned seeing Budi lost in thought and shaking his head like someone burdened with a big problem.
“It’s nothing, Mrs. Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention to your explanation,” Budi replied with a shy smile. He felt really embarrassed when everyone in the class looked at him, caught daydreaming, even Novi gave him a small smile. He couldn’t possibly answer Mrs. Indri’s question and beg her to help him peek at Novi’s underwear, so he just responded with his shy smile.
“If there’s a problem, just tell me, okay? I’m your homeroom teacher, so no need to be shy,” Mrs. Indri replied with her caring tone.
“Yeah, Mrs.,” Budi felt even more guilty for making his homeroom teacher worried because of his dirty thoughts. Mrs. Indri turned her body back to face the front of the class, but as she passed by Novi’s seat, the marker she was holding fell to the floor without her noticing, and she kept walking forward. Budi reflexively tried to pick it up and bent down to grab it.
As the marker was in his grip, he glanced towards Novi, who was also bending down to sit, and he saw, between the gaps of her smooth white thighs, a glimpse of the front part of her underwear.
“Pink,” Budi said in his mind.
