WARNING: In the spoiler are words or phrase's meaning.

Second Prolog and Epilog are from third p.o.v while the rest are in first p.o.v.

The group name '10-5' has been changed into 'We are Babylonian all' by RiskiSSSSSS.

RiskiSSSSSS:

Woy! The one who had our class joined cm, who tf is it!

Woy⏤Similar to 'hey.'

CM⏤Classmeeting, a festival that is held after the exam each semester (6 month in Indonesia).

Come out!

Why

Just why!!! Why our class named BABYLONIAN ANJIRRR

(Anjing) Anjir⏤Or njir, means 'dog,' a cursing word to express any kind of emotion like 'fuck' I guess. Whether it is anger, frustration, excitement, confusion, anything.

i am beni:

Wakakakakakakak we're babylonian, bro

Wakaka⏤Or wkwkwk, sounds of someone's laughter, imitating duck's sound which is annoying. Sometimes it is used to mock others like here.

Mirna Safitri:

Anjir babylonian LOL

Lindaaa:

Shit, that makes me remember Bu Idin

(Ibu) Bu⏤Means 'Mrs.' refer to an older woman.

t.n. Bu Idin is their Indonesian Language and homeroom teacher, yes, she taught about Babylonian Empire too, not the history but something more memorable. What a shame I forgot to add this tiny bit of story in the novel, maybe I'll make one here later on.

Cintya V:

Pls what's with this alai name

Alai⏤Stand for Alahan dari lebai, means too much or overrate or overpraise or whatever with prefix over-

Andini Tasya:

What if Bu Idin did it but had no idea what name was better and smh remember her own teaching about Babylonian and picked it up and the end JUST WHAT IF WKWKWKWK

metA:

Silly Andin LMAO

Andin⏤Or Din, Andini Tasya's short name.

RiskiSSSSSS:

It's so damn embarrassing to be laughed at by others, they said our class name is as arrogant as a pig :(

(Songong kek babi) As arrogant as a pig⏤A wordplay. The original phrase is songong kek tai or 'as arrogant as shit' but their class name is Babylonian⏤no, but Babilonia and has 'babi' in it which means 'pig.'

i am beni:

Lah that's true tho? wkwkwk

Lah⏤In the front of a sentence used to express confusion, 'lah' after verb (E.g. oke lah⏤okay, sadar lah⏤realize, jelas lah⏤clear) is used to make it sound stronger, 'lah' at the end of a sentence (E.g. serah lu lah⏤up to you, biar bahagia lah⏤so that I'm happy, suka-suka gua lah⏤I do what I want) is used to express annoyance and you're not really willing to talk more.

The group name 'We are Babylonian all' has been changed into 'We are Babylonian? Truly?' by Pandu Winata.

Pandu Winata:

Seriously?

Daniel J. :

Sorry, I ran out of ideas, I happened seeing Bu Idin passed by that I remembered Babylonian

Rather than wasting my time dwelling, I just used that instead

Just Lisa:

Dan, I don't get what your brain is made of

Dan⏤Or Dani, Daniel Juanda's short name.

(Gue gak paham isi otak lu itu gimana) I don't get what your brain is made of⏤Not literal meaning but to express her sarcasm for "How come you use such a brainless name."

BastttAz:

Bgsd that cracks me up

(Bangsat) Bgsd⏤Or bgst, a cursing word. Similar to 'scoundrel' or 'bastard.'

Pandu Winata:

I thought the one you love the most is Pa Muhsin, Dan. I just know now the one you love the most instead is Bu Idin

(Bapak) Pa⏤Or Pak, means 'Mr.' refer to an older man.

t.n. Pa Muhsin is their chemistry teacher with a soft voice that makes them feel sleepy with only one exception, that is Dani. That's why he jokingly said Dani loves Pa Muhsin the most.

RiskiSSSSSS:

SHIT IS SHIT FOR SURE

(Tai emang tai deh ya) Shit is shit for sure⏤A cursing phrase, is used when you are annoyed others ignore you deliberately.

Andini Tasya:

Lis⏤Lisa's short name.

(Isi otak Dani kan Ian semua) Dani's brain is made of memories of Ian⏤She totally didn't get Lisa's sarcasm and replied it literally. Ian was suddenly mentioned because both Dani and Ian are rumored as a gay pair.

Shh⏤Shushing sound.

DAMN I AM SO CHEAP ANJIR WKWKWKWK

(Receh) Cheap⏤Means easily entertained or laugh because of random or weird jokes.

i am beni:

Woy Du, let him be with Bu Idin

Du⏤Pandu Winata's short name.

If he were with Ian, he would be hibernating in the sea of deep wounds

(Terlelap dalam lautan luka dalam) He would be hibernating in the sea of deep wounds⏤Lyrics from the song 'Butiran Debu.'

t.n. Iki is curious about the story about the photo posted by Iqbal (Iq). Because no one tells him about it, he will dwell on it so much that he cannot sleep, so yeah, insomniac.

t.n. Pa Budi is their math teacher, strict and likes to give them homework as many as he can.

I feel stupid

Iq:

THAT WAS ONLY ONCE ALSO IT WASNOT INTENTIONAL AT ALL ANJIR

Lindaaa:

That’s because you skipped only once moron

RiskiSSSSSS:

That’s right, Linda said the truth here

Iq:

Whatever lah, I’m tired.

The group name 'We are Babylonian? Truly?' has been changed into 'Babylonian Kingdom' by i am beni.

T.N. Supposedly, it is Babylonian Empire, well yeah, there are some loose screws in their head so...

Too many explanations tbh but I can't help it, the kids in this class have distinct character, temperament, nature, personality or whatever you call it. So I need to explain why this person said this, why that person said that and so on. For example, Beni is easygoing yet cautious. He knows when to push through and when to step back, later in the future he will mostly be the one who induces a lot of quarrels in the class.

I used many original words, mostly profanity. Because many have ambiguous meaning and I don't find the right word for it, so yeah. But the real reason is surely because it just sounds too rigid⏤we can't distinguish their personality with their chatlog while the original itself can let us know⏤I'm not lying. For example, the word 'moron' or anything used for insulting someone who is stupid, in original are bego and when alphabet 'K' is added at the end 'begok,' it suddenly sounds more harsher and unpleasant like 'retarded.' You can already see two different kinds of people there, outspoken people who still have their bottom line and who have no more bottom line left. Moreover, bahasa gaul or Indonesian slang has its own place and source. Let say, anjir which is used widely by kids to adults, it has many variations such as anying (mostly used by Sundanese), anju (mostly used in Jakarta), anjay (used in many social media platform, Twitter, YouTube, so on), njir (used in Kalimantan), anjas, anjrit⏤wait... Why do I suddenly open a language class?

Anyway, let's wrap it up.

My love from Pluto,

aoillies.
