PROLOGUE
Ribon Cave, Bob Ribon Ambrosius. This uncontrollably handsome man is the first result of mutual cooperation from a couple named Max Ambrosius and Meila Puspita Sari. My mother said I was named Bob Ribon because when my mother was pregnant, I loved Bob Marley, and Kliwon Wednesday was my birthday. Cave of blue blood descent, Sundanese-Dutch crossbreed. My mother was born in the land of Sunda and grew up in the land of Pasundan. Meanwhile, my father was born in Yogyakarta and grew up in West Java. However, my father's parents were actually Dutch products.
I was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I lived in Indonesia for about 6 years when I was in elementary school in grades 1-6, but I returned to my village again. Before continuing to introduce myself, my only sister, her name was Elzhara Ambrosius, (read; Elsara). I only have 7 years difference with him.
Okay, go on!
A cave school in one of the prestigious Middle Schools in Amsterdam. The school where all the rich kids got rich, the fashionable kids whose jobs cost their parents' fortune.
Why am I still in 11th grade at 18 years of age? Because I only lived in grade 2 times, that's the reason why I still feel at home in school. It's not that my brain is stupid huh! But, because of my attitude that maybe a tolerant person is also tired of giving me another chance, MAYBE!
Most people say I'm a bad boy, playboy, bastard. But I feel like an ordinary person. At this school I have great friends, Alex, Darwin, Marko, Marcel, Chris, and Hanson. They were my friends from middle school, and we never went to class at the same time. Just because we caricatured our killer teacher's face on the rooftop using Pilox.
From next Sunday all those classic stories will be memories I will never forget. Because next Sunday I will live my new life in Indonesia as a sign of my maturity. So, in windmill country, if someone is 18, they have to support themselves with their parents to show that we have to be ready to live independently.
The problem is, I don't know where to live and which school to go to? But fortunately I have received 5 scholarships at once from the results of participating in the math, physics, chemistry, economics, and English olympiad. Are you smart? Okay, get through!
I got a school scholarship and lived for free in West Java until I graduated from high school and got a diploma, my school was cluster 1 in West Java, yeah guys! But I'm also smart and not a geek who likes to be a bully. My appearance is haphazard and untidy, a little strange but very strange. That was how the cave looked, until I was once thrown out by teachers, friends, and school guards because they thought the cave was rubbish by the side of the road playing this Amsterdam International school.
My IQ is not bad, around 196 only! I was also selected as one of the recipients of the Obama Award through the President's Education Awards Program for my achievements in academics. I got the award after I received 5 scholarships from the international Olympics, to be precise yesterday I received the Obama award. There are still many academic - non-academic achievements that I have made before.
