-Bargaining’s Limit

Characters: Ler!Link, Lee!Ravio [Fandom: The Legend Of Zelda (ALBW)] Warnings: just a tickle fic!! :] subtle/hints of spoilers for ALBW though?

Summary: Link’s had enough of his painfully inconvenient item deal with Ravio and decides to work an apology and an improvement out of him, in his own silly way.

Notes: i think i kinda lost the attention of my followers from being inactive for so long and i know ALBW is less popular than other zelda games so. i would love some interaction if you enjoy this😭❤️ kept it as in character as i could! :)

-REBLOGS ARE APPRECIATED-

——————

Link entered the sho- his house with a clear goal in mind. Set that dumb deal straight and get Ravio back for his greedy tricks!

The hooded shopkeeper welcomed him with his usual quirkiness as he dusted the counters, then queried him about what he could provide today.

“Ravio, you can provide me with way cheaper rentals, that’s what! My wallet is crying rupees!”

“Oh but my prices are as low as low goes! Surely with your valiant quest and therefore need for my items you can spare a few extra hundred rupees for your pal, buddy!” He replied proudly.

Link sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, resisting the urge to laugh, “You really can’t see how stupid it is?” He raised an eyebrow. That’s it.

Link held his lips from curling into a smile and approached his friend as he imagined the outcome of what he was about to do.

“I only see fairness Mr. Hero! Out of the goodness of your heart and the-hehAH-” The merchant was suddenly interrupted by his own voice.

“Ticklish?” Link smirked and retracted his hand from Ravio’s hip.

Ravio’s heart skipped, a new feeling of giddiness and fluster lighting throughout him.

He scrambled to answer, “What-PPFSH n-no…?” chuckle “Nope.” He crossed his arms and held his sides.

“I think you are!!” The grinning hero approached him as he shuffled back.

Butterflies flutt- no, swarmed in his stomach. The not so subtle excitement for where this was going teased at his nerves. Ravio felt the connection of playfulness sparking between them, a feeling he was very ready to welcome after so long without.

“N-Now this has nothing to do my deals, buddy!” He protested, his voice wavering as he tried to suppress the anticipatory giggles creeping up his throat.

He grasped the merchant’s hips once again, “Well I have to get you back somehow!” he retorted winking, unable to keep that smirk off his face as he began to squeeze and knead into the spot, recalling the way he reacted when he did it the first time.

“WAIT-waihahait hero we can tALk aboUT THIHIS” Ravio stumbled over his words and backed into a counter, spilling out giggles and trying his best not to fold like a lawn chair from the fingers attacking his ticklish hips.

His false voice had already been slipping from the moment Link had first taken him by surprise, but that bit of control he had left was now completely gone, and Ravio was kicking himself. Just some tickles to fully tear down the grouchy guise of his so well-hidden voice? Really?

Link payed no mind however and slipped under his leather band, beginning to squeeze his sides, the other instinctively scrambling to escape the ticklish sensation and tripping over himself, quite literally falling into laughter as Link followed him down to the floor.

The blonde boy easily removed the midriff accessory and went straight back for his sides, squeezing up and down and spidering in circles. Ravio twisted and turned, squealing out a waterfall of giggles and frantically pushing Link’s hands away as his legs tried their best to kick from under him.

“You laugh softer when I go down here…” two squeezes to his lower sides.

“And you laugh harder when I go up here…” three squeezes travelling up them. Ravio belly laughed as the cogs in his mind turned with Link’s. What was he-? oh no.

“So…” He locked onto his target.

“WaHahahit naHAhah—HAH!” he barked out suddenly, before trailing off into awkward and nervous giggles, giving Link as pleading of a stare as he could give through the mask of his hood.

“Bad spot?” Link chuckled, starting up again the moment after he spoke, skittering up and down Ravio’s ribs - leaving his loud and frantic laughter to answer that question for him.

Ravio’s hood jumped about along with him and began to lift, the slightly quietened sound of his laugh becoming clearer, and realisation hitting him in the face as light creeped in.

He scrambled to clutch onto his hood and keep it down, which unfortunately for him, was an obvious mistake and too perfect an opportunity for Link to miss. The blonde quickly shoved his hands under Ravio’s arms and scribbled into his hollows, a grin spread across his face.

The squeal he let out was unbelievable, getting a snort out of Link himself as he curled in and clamped his arms down, refusing to let go of his hood.

Which didn’t help, trapping Link’s wriggling fingers and sending all the more ticklish sparks buzzing along his nerves. He spluttered and amusingly squealed out as many half-hearted protests as he could.

“IHihi- th-this wihihill rahAHAISE YOHOur priHIces si-hihIHAH-SIGNIFICANTLY!-AHAH”

“Threatening me in this situation? Really?” The boy smirked, slowing his tickles a little.

“Well whahat are yohou gonna do? You cahahan’t tickle me to deheath Hero.” Ah. Rookie mistake.

“Oh you wanna test that theory?” He set his hands back on the giggler’s ribs, twitching them a little.

Ravio tensed and felt himself gaining an even wobblier (and wider) smile on his face, squirming, “Wahait-wAItwaitWAIT yohou wouldn’t-” He spluttered, convincing his arms to move down and hold Link’s.

More and more giggles seemed to bubble out of him in anticipation and nervousness. And the light squeezing to his ribs Link was kind enough to provide him with weren’t messing with him any less either.

Anyway, turns out he would go there. He definitely would.

“MR. H-HEHEHEHAHAHAHAA!! LIHIHINK!” The merchant was screeching with laughter, grabbing desperately at his attacker’s hands as they kneaded into each sensitive bone.

Link couldn’t help but smile as he vibrated and wiggled his fingers into the ticklish crevices of his rib cage, digging out every cackle and wheeze he could find. He absolutely deserved this.

“NOHOHAAHAHAT THEHERE!! PLEHE- I’M GONNA DIHIE!!!” Ravio threw himself about like a fish out of water. Wasn’t this guy was supposed to be a rabbit?

Link strategically placed his fingers on every bone he could, paused for a second, and tased as quickly and evilly as he could as his friend arched and gasped and bursted into another round of harsh cackles, falling into a hyper-giggle fit in between every shock.

His laugh was so funny and contagious, it reminded Link of his own. His smile was wide and his heart was so warm with affection he almost forgot the reason he started all of this.

He had missed these kinds of moments. The times where he’d get into trouble with his friends, where they’d laugh together for ages and his biggest worry was waking up late for work, when his responsibility for the kingdom and the princess was still in the past.

This was the happiest he’d felt in a while, for once he felt like there was nothing wrong with the world, like it was just him and Ravio. Just him and this strange, funny, stupidly ticklish ‘merchant’.

Link dazed in the moment before snapping back to reality, meeting before him a wheezing, snorting, curled up Ravio, realising he’d been practically murdering the guy this entire time.

He slowly halted his attack and patted his friend on the shoulder, moving to sit off his legs.

All his thrashing had yet again revealed a glimpse of the underneath of his hood, only a little. Link wouldn’t look any further but just enough to see his smile. To which he felt his own butterflies fluttering in his stomach, it was so playful and happy, so genuine.

Residual giggles filled the air, “O-Oho my gohoddess I thought you wehere gonna kill me!”

Link scoffed, “Don’t be dramatic! You’re not earning any sympathy from me, the amount of times I’ve fallen in battle and you’ve snatched your items back immediately! You greedy guy!!” He scurried his fingers over Ravio’s stomach, earning a squawk and another round of laughter.

“HEhey thahat was the deheal!! And I thihink we knohow who’s fault it is anyway judging by ‘the amount of times I’ve fallen in battle’ buddyYHA- HAHAHAH” He flailed as another attack was launched again by an ‘irritated’ hero.

“OKaY OKAHAY stahahap!” Ravio snorted and shoved Link as he sat up further.

“I didn’t overstep did I?” Link gave him a nudge.

“No, not at all. It was…fun.” Ravio’s tone was warm and lighthearted, one that spread through the room.

“You’ve learnt your lesson?” Link raised an eyebrow, smiling.

“Yes yes I have.” he giggled, head in his hands.

“…I don’t have to lower the prices though right-OKAYOKAYIMSORRY”

No matter what he pulled Link couldn’t seem to shake his affection for the merchant, being somewhat drawn to him and feeling their bond grow despite only short moments of interaction.

And this seemed to be mutual.

LUtober day 6: Family

“My family? Hyrule asked, lips thinning as discomfort rolled across him. “I… I don’t think I’ve ever had one before.”

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 .

“I suppose I have Fable,” Legend said with a shrug. “And… Ravio might as well be family—shut up, Captain!” Legend, always quick to divert unwanted attention, threw the buck to Hyrule. “What about you, Traveller? Who have you got waiting for you back home?”

“My family?” Hyrule asked, lips thinning as discomfort rolled across his shoulders. “I… I don’t think I’ve ever had one before.”

Silence crashed into the clearing. Hyrule shifted uncomfortably beneath it, lowered his gaze when the group’s wide eyes became too much.

“You’ve no family back home?” Legend asked. When Hyrule shook his head, Legend cursed. “Shit, I’m sorry, Roo, I shouldn’t have—”

“Well,” Hyrule said, as a thought occurred to him. He wasn’t entirely alone in his cave. “Sometimes a stray cat visits me and stays the night. I hope she’s doing well…” The thing was nearly half his size and loved when he stroked her back, her purrs filling up the silence of his makeshift home.

“That counts!” Wind offered, his smile so bright and true, Hyrule knew he wasn’t lying to make him feel better. “We’ve a seagull that loves to visit all the time. It may as well be part of the family by now.”

“Yeah,” Hyrule said, a soft smile lifting his lips.

Later, as he was spreading out his bedroll, Legend joined him, murmuring quietly: “I’m sorry. About earlier, I mean. I didn’t realise…”

“It’s fine,” Hyrule assured him. “It’s been this way my whole life.”

His words, meant to comfort, only served to make Legend look sick. “You know you have us now, right? You’re not alone any more.”

Hyrule… hadn’t even considered that. Hadn’t considered they might feel that way about him. “Really?”

Legend’s smile was soft as he nudged Hyrule in the side, then curled an arm around his shoulders, drawing him in close. “‘Course, Roo. You’re family now. You’re stuck with us.”

Hyrule grinned, an unfamiliar warmth breathing to life in his chest. “Thanks, Lee.”

R A V I O L I

[caesar1141]

LU Name Headcanons

Four:  Link (Four) Smith - names are based partly on profession and Four is a smith, over course he would be called Smith. Also the HC that after FSA, Four becomes a system who calls themselves Four

Hyrule:  Link Traveler - he made the name up, it's what he does, his middle name is "the"

Legend:  Link Friar-Lee - the Friar name was originally Farrier that slowly morphed over time into Friar. Lee is Ravio's last name when they get married, they had a competition on who got first billing. Lee came from an old Lorulean word for book (thinking leafs of paper, yes?)

Sky:  Link - he has no last name and he's fine with that

Time:  Link Lon - he was raised as a forest child, there were no last names, only titles, "Mido the Leader of the Kokiri", "Saria the Wise", "Link the Aging"

Twi:  Link Wolfe - a bit on the nose but I just have the very strong mental image that Rusl found him chasing off a nasty wolf with a stick and screaming and the nickname became a last name

Wars:  Link Tanner - HC that his family was a bunch of leather tanners, a messy job, a disgusting job. It's part of the reason he joined the military, he didn't want to become a tanner

Wild:  Link Troupe - pretty sure his dad is a captain of the guard or whatever

Wind:  Link Fisher - partly based on the myth of the fisher king, the bit about the "last in a line protecting the holy grail", the thing is that it's more a subversion, the Fisher King waits for a hero but Wind said screw that and decided to be the hero himself. Also island fisher. (I never said they all made sense)

His eyes opened widely, hair clinging to him as a thick layer of sweat dripped down his face. Staring blankly at the ceiling, he felt his hands gain life, raising them to his face and wiping what he could away before sitting up and gripping his sheets.' The same one again…' he thought to himself, wiping his face dry and getting down from his bed. He blinked his eyes rapidly, stumbling his way to his bathroom. Opening the door, he made eye contact with the mirror. Heavy bags laid below his eyes, his dyed pink hair messily laid around his head and his shirt hung loosely on his shoulders. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and released the air. He opened them again, staring at himself in the mirror. "So, the audition is today…?" He asked himself. He flinched as he felt fur collide with his leg and small purrs emitted from the animal.

Turning behind him, he saw a kitten rubbing its face. "Snow, you scared me", he said, bending down and petting the cat.

~~

Breathing heavily, hands shaking and sweat dripping down his face, Logan turned the knob of the large building door and entered, eyes closed tightly. "Hey!" Logan flinched, as an average height pale skinned brunette walked towards him. "Are you here for the auditions?" They asked, clipboard in hand, pencil tucked behind their ear. "Y… yes, my-my name is… Lo-Logan Lore…" he muttered out silently, his voice drowned out by the busy room and loud speaking. The brunette still nodded, carefully taking him to a separate room and closing the door, the sounds from the previous room drowned out. "Now, repeat your name, please? I couldn't hear it too well." They said slowly, sitting behind the desk at a far side of the room.

Logan took measured steps forward and sat down at a chair near the desk. "Logan Lore" he said a bit louder, eyes darting across the room. "Can… can anyone-" he was cut out by the brunette shaking their head. "No, they can't hear us. You don't have to be afraid here, I'm the only one here."

Lore tried to speak but his throat felt clogged up, stammering and stuttering, gibberish flowing from his mouth, rather than words.

"I'll start then, to give you some time to breathe." They said, sitting down in an office chair just big enough for two people. Logan decided to sit down in one of the normal school chairs present in the office, taking note of how this looked like the principal's office in a highschool. "My name is Charlotte Chai," they started off, hand extended for a hand shake, round green eyes staring softly at him. He shook their hand, only lasting a few seconds before they let go. "I'm the director of the show we're making here." He nodded and held up a flier. The audition flier. "I guessed as much," they said, smiling. "What did you say your last name is?"

"Lore…" he muttered out.

"I see. You wanna go over the lines, see if you're fit for any roles? Or would you like some tea first?"

"Tea…" he muttered out again, moving his chair closer to the desk. A knock sounded from outside and Logan ducked his head just as a child, no older than 13, entered, some pastries in hand. "I made everyone snacks"

"Ah, thank you Lincoln, you can leave them right there." The child, Lincoln, nodded and set them down, closing the door before leaving again. Logan peeked at the plate of pastries and saw some sword and shield shaped cookies. He chuckled silently. "You want to try one?" Charlotte asked, which scared Logan. "I… sure." He said, not looking at Charlotte. He quickly nabbed a shield from the plate which made Charlotte laugh a bit. " It makes sense you picked a shield." "Huh?... Why?"

"Because you've been hiding from me the whole time you sat here."

Logan flinched a bit and looked down, muttering apologies, which caused the brunette to laugh a bit more. "It's alright, I'm not judging. Just an observation." They said, grabbing a cookie from the pile. "How good are you at acting?"

"I'm not", Logan answered.

"Why are you here then?"

"I… I wanted to see if I'd get the part." He paused. "Make some friends."

"Well, if that's all, you can go outside. There are 16 people, a good majority of them are children, and they're the ones who see if you should or should not be in the show. Well, mostly Lewis and Lance."

Logan felt his stomach drop and he slowly stood up, shuffling to the door. Before he could open it, he heard the rattle of the door knob and the door flung open, slamming into him and, due to the heaviness of the door, getting thrown into the wall.

The air was knocked from his lungs and he gasped for air. He slid down the wall, clutching his chest; he was pretty sure he cracked a rib or something, and he could feel the blood - or was it snot?- dripping down his nose. "Oh gosh, I'm so sorry!" Someone said from the door. He could hear Charlotte run over from their spot on the desk, another voice come from behind the door, more angry- was it at him?- but he couldn't understand what he said. He blinked his eyes a couple of times and his eyes managed to focus, ears ringing slightly.

"Y… ok?"

He nodded once and held his head, a bump was already starting to form.

"That was a bad throw, Lewis be more careful next time" Charlotte scolded a tall man; no, he only looked tall. Lore could stand beside him and be taller, even if by a bit. He felt a hand on the back of his head, Charlotte's hand, he recognized it from earlier, and then his forehead was rested on said brunette's shoulder. Warmth crept up to his face, cheeks dusted in a light pinkish hue. He felt slim fingers play around with his hair and he flushed even more, his entire face burning up even more. He tried to speak, his voice trapped, but Charlotte seemed to understand. Soon he heard sirens, an ambulance, most likely, and he counted the seconds before a doctor showed up.

He couldn't hear what the doctor was saying too, well, Charlotte was expressionless the whole time, so even then he couldn't read their body language. He just hid behind his turtleneck sweater and waited for the day to end already. He hid and waited. And waited. Soon enough he got bored of waiting, thinking of ways to pass the time. Back at home, Snow was being taken care of by his roommate, whom he hadn't been able to see in several days but he knew he'd pass by; he'd leave small post it notes with words of encouragement and little doodles on the front page of his notebooks- he almost always used the art one, whether it was hidden away in Logan's closet or not. He could never say he hated his roommate, but they didn't spend that often together. Logan would always hide away while Ravio- was that his name or was it something else?- had been outside making him breakfast and then heading to work.

How was he doing? Was he ok? Did he need help? Maybe he did and Lore was here, sitting in a comfortable chair in his boss' office with 3 stitches and a bandage on his head.

"I came as fast as I could-" Ravio came charging in, he had not dressed properly, his hair was disheveled, Snow sat on his hoodie pockets, the small teacup cat purring softly in her sleep. Logan gasped happily and scooped up his kitten, petting her as she positioned herself again, small ears twitching slightly. He could hear the muffled noises of Ravio talking to Charlotte. He didn't focus on them, his kitten was here, that's all he needed.

For now…

#OnTwitter'sTrending : Mengapa Stafsus Milenial Dikritik Terus-Menerus?

Baru-baru ini jagad dunia Twitter kembali ramai. Setelah pembahasan Covid-19 seperti air bah yang datang tak berkesudahan menyesaki timeline, ada topik baru yang diperbincangkan oleh netizen. Isu panas terus bergulir walau mungkin takkan selama obrolan tentang virus corona. Sekarang, bola api semakin liar menyusul ditangkapnya Ravio Patra, seorang alumni Jurusan Hubungan Internasional Unpad Bandung angkatan 2011 yang sangat getol memberi kritik lewat cuitan-cuitan lugasnya di Twitter.

Staff Khusus Milenial bentukan Presiden Joko Widodo menjadi bulan-bulanan massa di dunia maya dalam beberapa hari terakhir. Sejak dahulu, pembentukkannya memang mengundang tanda tanya besar. Bahkan, tak sedikit dari kita yang sangsi akan kemampuan mereka dalam membantu Presiden Jokowi. Apalagi, mereka tidak dipilih dengan dasar seleksi kompetensi yang ketat dan terbuka. Hal ini memang merupakan hak prerogatif Presiden Jokowi, tetapi bukankah penunjukkan para pembantunya juga demi kelancaran tugasnya dalam melayani masyarakat? Wajar kita berisik mengkritisi. Terlebih mereka digaji dengan nilai fantastis.

*Sumber gambar : Pinter Politik

Bagi sebagian masyarakat, termasuk saya, menilai peran para Stafsus Milenial ini tak lebih dari sekedar pajangan mahal belaka. Milenial menjadi rebutan citra bagi para politikus karena jumlahnya yang besar dan menentukan suara di masa mendatang. Presiden Jokowi sekilas melakukan blunder yang tak perlu. Namun, bukan orang Jawa namanya apabila berbuat sesuatu dengan berterus terang. Ada makna lain yang saya tangkap dibalik penunjukkan Belva Devara, Putri Tanjung dan kawan-kawan.

Tujuh orang anak muda ini memiliki satu kesamaan yang identik. Mereka adalah para pengusaha muda, pendiri start-up yang sedang naik daun dan beberapa di antaranya memiliki koneksi langsung dengan para oligark lama. Pemilihan pebisnis muda seperti menegaskan secara simbolik bahwa agenda utama rezim Presiden Jokowi adalah menggenjot perekonomian dalam negeri, pro pengusaha dan investasi. Hal ini semakin diperkuat dengan naiknya draft Omnibus Law Cipta Kerja hasil kolab duo DPR RI bersama pemerintah tak lama setelah Stafsus Milenial terbentuk.

Lantas apa salahnya dengan munculnya anak-anak muda tersebut? Bukankah memang lingkaran di sekitar Presiden Jokowi terutama dalam Kabinet Kerja Jilid 2 banyak bermasalah? Lalu mengapa hanya para Stafsus Milenial ini yang dengan getol dihujat habis-habisan bahkan oleh orang-orang segenerasinya? Bukankah sesama kaum muda harusnya saling mendukung dan memberi semangat?

Saya beranggapan, arus kritikan yang deras mengalir dari orang muda ke orang muda lainnya adalah salah satu bentuk kepedulian paling tinggi. Salah satu tanda dukungan kami adalah dengan tak lelah dan henti-hentinya mengingatkan. Sebab, diam adalah kemarahan yang paling sempurna serta sikap apatis diberikan justru oleh mereka yang dulunya sangat peduli namun diacuhkan terus-menerus.

Ketika tujuh pemuda ini muncul pertama kali di pentas politik negeri, ada sedikit harapan baru yang saya letakkan di pundak mereka. Di samping rasa skeptis tentu saja, mimpi untuk melihat kaum muda yang secara usia tak jauh di bawah maupun di atas saya agar mendapat kesempatan emas untuk berada di ring-1 kekuasaan dan memberi saran langsung kepada orang nomor satu di Indonesia ternyata terwujud.

Euforia baru muncul dan ini bukanlah hal aneh. Bayangkan, anda memiliki teman sepermainan yang lahir di generasi yang sama. Semasa kecil anda dan mereka tumbuh dengan iklim pendidikan yang sama; dipukul telapak tangannya dengan penggaris oleh guru ketika kukunya panjang dan belajar dari berbagai fasilitas analog yang sama. Anda dan mereka dihibur oleh tontonan yang sama; kantong ajaib Doraemon, kenakalan Sinchan, ketangguhan Son Goku, kelihaian Ninja Hattori, kesedihan Hachi, kecepatan Magnum Saber, kepandaian Detektif Conan, kengerian Ghost at School dan kekuatan bulan Sailor Moon.

Beranjak remaja, anda dan mereka tumbuh dengan kesenangan-kesenangan yang sama; menanti MTV Ampuh, takjub dengan kerennya modifikasi mobil ala Pimp My Ride, berkenalan dengan teman baru via Friendster, Mxit, Yahoo Messenger dan Facebook, merasa keren ketika menenteng Nokia 6600 atau Nokia N-Gage serta belajar mengenal internet dengan membuka situs Primbon dan berkirim surat elektronik dengan Yahoo Mail.

Menapaki dunia mahasiswa, anda dan mereka menempuh jalan idealisme yang sama; memegang sumpah Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi, membawa amanah empat peran fungsi mahasiswa, terpukau dengan Soe Hok Gie, Ahmad Wahib, Tan Malaka dan Pramoedya Ananta Toer, cinta mati dengan Lee Minho, ikut kegiatan kemahasiswaan sana-sini dan berlomba dalam kebermanfaatan.

Kini, beberapa teman segenerasi anda dipanggil secara khusus oleh Presiden Jokowi untuk dimintai tolong membantunya dalam urusan kenegaraan. Tentu saja, anda mengharapkan teman-teman anda tersebut bisa menyampaikan kegelisahan, impian dan cita-cita anda kepada Presiden Jokowi dengan bahasa generasi di mana anda dan mereka tumbuh dewasa. Hal yang sangat wajar dan manusiawi terjadi.

Setelah mereka terpilih, bukannya menunjukkan keberpihakan yang selama ini anda amanahkan, justru tujuh teman-teman anda keblinger, menjadi sombong, berjarak dengan anda, tidak menunjukkan peran nyata sebagaimana anak muda bergerak, melakukan kesalahan yang tak perlu serta memunculkan conflict of interest. Kemudian anda marah, kesal lalu memutuskan untuk memberi saran, nasehat dan peringatan. Hal yang wajar juga bukan?

Ketujuh anak milenial ini menjadi Staf Khusus Kepresidenan tanpa menanggalkan jabatan sebagai direktur, CEO atau presdir di perusahaan masing-masing. Sejak awal anda sudah mengingatkan bahwa akan rawan munculnya konflik kepentingan. Namun, presiden bergeming dan teman muda anda ini tak berinisiatif mengambil tindakan etis secara politik untuk melepas jabatan di perusahaan atau mengundurkan diri sebagai Stafsus.

Kemarin, Stafsus Andi Taufan bermasalah karena PT. Amartha yang dipimpinnya bersinggungan dengan agenda negara dalam penanganan Covid-19. Maladministrasi terjadi dan resiko konflik kepentingan di depan mata.

Baru saja mitra pelatihan Kartu Pra-Kerja dirilis dan ada nama Ruang Guru milik Belva Devara muncul di sana. Walaupun yang bersangkutan menampik campur tangannya dalam proses pemilihan mitra, tetap saja ini menjadi sorotan publik. Saya percaya Ruang Guru secara logika sangat pantas terpilih sebagai mitra pendidikan pemerintah, namun secara etika itu tidak etis.

Saya dan anda terus memberi kritik terhadap teman-teman sepermainan kita yang duduk di lingkaran kekuasaan agar tidak lupa untuk apa mereka seharusnya di sana. Muda bukan hanya usia tetapi juga secara bahasa. Bahasa anak muda bagi saya adalah kemauan untuk terbuka, memberikan transparansi data yang aktual, kritis, solutif, melawan nilai-nilai buruk korupsi, kolusi dan nepotisme serta turun ke lapangan langsung. Saya dan anda sudah muak dengan para orang-orang tua yang memanfaatkan generasi ini hanya sebagai lambang. Maaf, saya sudah tak peduli dengan orang-orang tua yang konservatif.

Mundurnya Belva dan Andi dari Stafsus semoga menjadi bentuk sikap kenegarawanan serta tindakan yang kongruen dengan hati nurani. Saya, anda dan kita anak muda bukan hanya mannequin milik para bejat berdasi. Melawan cara-cara lama yang tak lagi relevan adalah alasan mengapa kita dilahirkan. Jangan lupakan itu para Stafsus Milenial.

Di lorong yang awalnya lengang, perlahan terdengar suara langkah kaki yang konsisten mendekat. Billy Mambrasar yang sedang membacakan tulisan saya ini di depan keenam Stafsus lainnya dalam acara pelepasan Andi Taufan dan Belva Devara terkesiap kaget. Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan datang dengan senyum manisnya.

"Om dengar apa yang kamu baca itu Billy. Sudah tak usah digubris. Lekas buang tulisan sampah tersebut. Om berikan nasehat, tiga jalan utama kesempurnaan hidup yang telah Om praktekkan. Ingat tiga pilar ini, hidup hendaknya sewaktu muda penuh cinta, saat dewasa berfoya-foya dan ketika tua sabotase negara !"
