9 Requests for Love

school gate

Zia's feelings took her to this place, a place that contained her fondest memories and worst memories. It was the beginning and the end of their friendship. A place he hates but always misses.

Passing through the gate Zia recalled the beginning she stepped here.

The flashback

Tiiittt's.....

"Zia....."

Tiiitt

"Yes for a minute, loud noise anyway"

Zia approached two men who had been in front of her house.

"Choop go"

Today, their first day into the world of High School. The school is already crowded with passionate students. It is evident from their ever-expanding smiles.

"Gue can't wait to see the pretty girls"

Zia glanced cynically at Razik

"Gue too"

Zia's glance turned on Adit. Annoyed at pinching the waist of the two men.

"Aaaawww...."

Both are complaining of pain.

"Basic of the basket"

Zia passed by leaving the two of them behind and finding out where their class was. They had a new day with a new moment. But among the three of them Zia felt uncomfortable because she was always viewed cynically by people. Even as time went by the view turned gossipy, he became uncomfortable going to school. Even occasionally they satirize him and feel excluded themselves, especially if Adit and Razik have a busy life, like today. Today Adit and Razik attend a football club meeting, they both decide to join the extra-curricular sports, inevitably Zia must be left alone.

"O this is that weird schoolgirl"

Said someone who was standing next to Zia, he was not very familiar with the four women it seemed not to be from his local or perhaps a senior brother. Zia was quite offended but she ignored it and chose to leave her lot.

"Eh wait..."

Zia stopped and glanced back.

"This is Lo's missing drinking bottle"

Zia smiled and walked up to them again, when she wanted to grab him, the woman opened the lid of Zia's drinking bottle and splashed it on Zia's skirt.

"UPSss..orry slipped out of my hand"

The four of them smiled in satisfaction without realizing how upset Zia was. Zia's face was already red, but she tried to hold back because Zia realized she would lose if she fought them now.

"Rok Lo wet yes, I want to guarantee skirt ngak"

"Indeed she wants to make a skirt Lo, not ordinary. The village girl"

Hearing their laughter, Zia's anger grew, it felt like she wanted to cry out loud. Instead of serving them Zia would rather go as a coward this time. He didn't want to be their show anymore, too many were enjoying it without any intention of helping him. Zia is hated just because she wears a different uniform from the others, all the girls wear short skirts, while Zia wears long skirts. Not that she wants to look different but that's the condition that my mother put forward so that she is allowed to enter public school. Because initially after the end of Junior High Zia promised to enter the pesantren but Zia denied it again.

During the trip from the cafeteria to her class Zia felt always viewed cynically by every student, how not her wet skirt came to the attention of everyone, even the teacher.

"Zia you why?"

Zia simply ignored and continued walking. When the door of her class was seen Zia was relieved she just wanted to immediately sit in her chair because for her only her seat was the place she was at the moment. Because Zia hurriedly hit her classmate who was holding a miniature of the results of their group tasks. The student named Mia who is famous for having a spicy mouth. His eyes were so sharp that he looked at Zia, not knowing what words he would reveal to Zia.

"sorry"

"I'm sorry?"

Zia fell silent, because the pressure she felt these few days made her mentally weakened.

"Lo thinks with an apology we can bring back our group's miniature, huh?"

He also realized it was his fault, he just lowered his head, for him the floor was more beautiful at the moment.

"Basar geeky chicks don't know themselves. If Lo looks stupid, at best o**k Lo don't be stupid dong. If the road looks ahead do not just nyelonong doang. Therefore, if the make of clothes do not need to be excessive let Lo ngak disturbing view"

The more words issued by her the more burden befell Zia's heart. Moreover, some of the students Iku profokator and many also enjoy, they smile with satisfaction to see Zia being scolded so straightforwardly in front of the crowd, but there are also those who pity and do not accept.

"Or Do you want to show me how to dress well?"

"Tajukkin aja mi"

Other students profocate

"So anyone wants to give me scissors, I'll show you"

Someone came with scissors and handed them to Mia. Looking at Mia who lowered her head and grabbed her skirt Zia felt unacceptable. He tried to resist but was suddenly restrained from behind. With a swift Mia cut Zia's skirt to the knee. Seeing her scissored skirt Zia was no longer able to stem her tears, not pity to see her skirt getting shorter but embarrassed to feel stripped by her own friend. Zia did not wear a hijab, but from childhood Zia was not used to showing her legs and today someone casually showed her aura to the public.

"Beautiful right"

Zia looked intently at Mia. Surely the men will smile satisfied and happy, but some students began to pity.

"Why are you quiet, huh?"

"Maybe because her husbands have no time"

A student's timpal.

"Mentalnya be a whip because the princes left behind"

Their laughter became a horror to Zia, she felt resentful of this moment.

"Where are Lo's husbands? Or do I need shorter scissors so that Lo's husbands come ha?"

The students are more excited to instigate Mia, but even more encouraged, she intends to edit Zia's skirt to the thigh. The students who were laughing were now silent because they were seen sharply by him. She was so respected especially by the men, because she was so beautiful and famous rich in her school.

"Lo don't interfere"

"If the dignity of a woman is abused I as a woman will not stay silent"

"A lot of lo crap. Who am I harassing?"

"Lo didn't realize, Lo it's been harassing yourself as a woman"

Maira smiled with satisfaction seeing that her best friend did not remain silent. Syifa coded Maira to help Zia.

"Why do you hold Zia like that prisoner? Let's get loose"

"Zia Lo ngak papa?"

"Well, is he papa?"

Maira shook her head not knowing, those who realized Zia was not okay became worried. Zia's sight looked blank as if it wasn't inside her.

"Lo see, you think you'll be fine after what you've done? Do you think his parents will be quiet? Do you know who his parents are? He's the son of a rich businessman in Indonesia, he's the son of a rich guy. While lo? You think with Lo's parents that the PNS is able to fight his parents. So do not fight the bear who is calm again, will be in the claws Lo later"

Mia who realized the different social status among them made her even more afraid.and the others started to tweet like a flock of birds thrown at the stone, they thought Zia was just a poor country boy, until I can treat it.

"Diamhmm... You can shut up huh?"

Mia thrust the scissors she was holding towards Syifa, Syifa who realized that danger was being blamed on her feeling threatened. Mia gets closer to Syifa and continues to thrust the scissors towards her, As soon as the class becomes tense. Fortunately a student immediately intercepted Mia and attempted to take the scissors out of her hand. Hearing the increasingly rame class, attract other students to come to the class. Adit and Razik who saw immediately ran towards their class.

"I've been looking for Lo from earlier"

Razik saw a look of worry on the girl's face.

"Zia, she...."

Not yet had time to hear the explanation of the schoolgirl, Adit and Razik directly penetrated the crowd and found Zia who was sitting limp still with an illegible condition.

"Zia why?"

"Zia, he was..."

Seeing Razik's emotions made maira nervous.

"Who would dare to hurt Zia?"

Razik is getting excited because he did not get an answer.

"There's no point lo emotions, we better help him now"

Syifa said wisely.

"Zia, Lo hear me"

Adit tried to resuscitate Zia, he had seen his mother experience this. Although he does not know very well but he realizes that Zia is not okay. Adit covered Syifa's legs with his jacket, then leaned Zia on her chest and gently patted Zia on the shoulder.

"Zia there's me, relax you'll be fine. Calm down, Zia, I promise no one will bother you again"

Instantly Zia relaxed and closed her eyes.

"Did he faint?"

Hearing Maira's question making Syifa and Razik look at Adit, Adit nodded.

"Razik call ummi, Zia will need ummi"

Razik obeys Adit's orders and lets Adit take Zia to the UKS room

***********

"Gue heard that Lo helped Zia. Thanks yeah"

"Gue felt guilty that Zia had been through this"

Syifa looked at the closed room.in there was only Zia, ummi Razik and the teacher and doctor on duty.

"Gue also felt guilty because Zia was alone at this time"

timpal maira. Their eyes follow Syifa's gaze hoping that the door will open soon.

"Gue too"

Tymbal Razik.

"Oh my name is Adit and this is Razik"

Razik smiled back at Syifa's smile.

"Gue Syifa and that's Maira"

Syifa pointed to Maira who was cleaning the wound of a student.

"And I'm pras"

They smile at each other at this moment, this is the beginning of their introduction, beginning with a tragedy that Zia will always remember.

"Lo's hand why"

"Mia was raging again and pulled the scissors from my grasp became a deh gini"

Pras showed an incision wound on his hand.

everything was back in tension when the UKS door opened.

"you better go back to class, about zianka let us accompany"

they just nodded obediently.

***********

Zia was really experiencing the inner pressure of the day, even her sleep was not calm for several months, the events of the day turned out to be very imprinted into her subconscious. With the help of ummi Zia can recover quickly plus his best friend continues to accompany him. Since that day they often spend time together, even Syifa and Maira always stay at Zia's house until her illness was declared cured by ummi. Time brings them together and helps tie their bond. Ummi just asked Zia to accept everything with iklas and forgive him, so the incident became a valuable thing for Zia.

Fash back off

Zia smiled remembering the incident, Syifa used to be a very considerate person to her but over time Syifa changed and created a distance between them. Zia continued to browse through the school and finally stopped in a room. The door of the room opened, he was shocked to see the person inside.

"Zia?"

Zia smiled.

They decided to enjoy the school atmosphere from the corner of the school garden.

"I was just about to pick you up but we met here instead"

"I was bored at home so I wanted to go around and know how to see the school gate so you stopped by here aja, miss this place"

Razik looked at Zia with a hard-to-understand look.

"misshim? is it so hard to replace him in your heart Zi?"
