A HEART THAT IS STILL TRAPPED IN THE PAST

School Recollection Plan

I sat in my chair lazily, not feeling like three months had passed. School starts in early July and is now late September.

We will welcome the month of October, where in accordance with the Catholic Faith, we will pray together for a full month. October is not an ordinary month, for us it is called the month of the Rosary.

Incidentally the next subject is religion. We gathered in the reading garden, they said that for this time the teacher will explain the material and later will be given some story questions.

We headed to the reading garden when the bell finally rang. The boys were all present, We each sat around a round table in the middle of the reading garden.

Each side of the table is filled with three people. I sat on the sidelines, to my right was the boy standing beside me at the announcement of the race results.

Melvins.

Daren's sitting on the side, Melvin.  After explaining the material, the teacher opened his voice again: “Alright, now you do the task in groups. Form three groups, with each daughter. ”

“Teacher, why not just do a sweepstakes?”Vero, one of the boys from our class asked.

“I'll have them keep an eye on your performance.”

Teacher smiled happily after forming the group, I am in the same group as Melvin, Daren and Vero.  While Anastasya one group with Kris, Alex and Diknas. while Agnes along with Ken, Natan and Erlang.

Master freed us to do it wherever we wanted while still in the library area. Tim Anastasya and Agnes chose to head to the library room, we were left in the reading garden.

“So, where will we start?” I opened my voice, Daren was already sitting next to me.

“Free, with you we can quickly finish,” Melvin smiles proudly.

“Teacher said that this task was done in Group, remember I was assigned to record your performance.”

“Hey, don't overdo it so Ella. we are classmates.”

“Need I remind you that we are also school children, do not be lazy. ”

I took the paper in the middle of my book to tear it apart, then I started looking for my pen, I think I've been holding it for a while, where's it gone?

I asked, “Hey, did you guys see my pen?”

“Use mine alone,” Vero gave her pen.

“You didn't log?” I asked, he then smiled gently, then said; “I still have one.”

I nodded and grabbed her pen. We then split the team in two as we sat down, Melvin with Vero, and of course I was with Daren.

Our job is divided into two parts, one part is in the form of a story and the other part is about the addition of our teacher, I and Daren get the story, quite easily in my opinion.

Melvin and Vero worked on additional problems from the teacher. An additional matter given beyond today's material, about the Catholic Faith.

“What is Novena prayer? Why does the teacher ask such a question? ” Melvin suddenly asked.

“Maybe to test whether we are diligent in prayer,” I replied.

“We all know for sure that Novena comes from Latin which means Nine so it is a prayer that is done for nine days without stopping at the same hour.”

“You better answer it, don't make a fuss other groups can hear us,” said Vero

“Already, let's quickly finish.”

I put down the pen after I finished and gave the sheet to Daren, I feel today Daren is a lot quiet, usually he will be very chatty when the class takes place.

After our work was done, we sat quietly waiting for the others. There are still 20 minutes left before the lesson is over, the paper of our work is collected into one.

“I plan to hold Recollection activities before the end of the semester, so we need a lot of preparation now... "

“.... We can start talking about it next week.”

We nodded, then said goodbye to Master to return to class. Next week we will enter the month of the Rosary.  We will worship in the reading garden. 

The Rosary usually lasts for approximately one hour, for each event that has been determined on certain days. Because of the limited school hours we only do the rosary prayer ten times, simultaneously not rotating.

Each class will take turns to lead the morning prayer, Each child will get their turn. After the morning service was over, the teacher asked for a moment to say that after the school hours were over we had to regroup to discuss the recollection plan.

The sirens sounded from the teacher's room, this time was the final lesson hour. It was past one week, the teacher explained the material in front of the class. When he heard the siren the teacher stopped his explanation for a moment.

“Notice to all second-year Catholic students to stay for a while after class, in the reading garden, so much and thank you”

The teacher watched our class and continued the lesson. Indira stopped her work and looked at me.

“What will you do?” tanyakanya.

“Guru plans to do Recollection at the end of the semester of class increase later, "I give an answer.

“Very nice if so, I hope we are like that too. ”

“Then go and talk about that topic with your religious teacher."

"Hmmm, teacher probably won't listen to me. ”

Thirty minutes after the school bell rang, the teacher came out of our classroom while we fixed our study equipment. In a small group, we headed to the reading garden. Indira was ready to go home.

Many disciples who had already entered the library, I and the other two girls immediately rushed over to be able to get a seat. We sat on the right side, the other boys separated.

“Hey, shift a little. I still couldn't find a place, "I turned to him and asked myself, who is this child?

“Hei, Ella! You hear me? Can you shift, the teacher will talk soon,” the boy spoke, then I shifted to give him enough space.

Then subconsciously, I asked her, “You know me?”

“I haven't been away long and haven't visited your class since last time, and you forgot me? Your memory is so bad, it's me Raka handsome.”

Uhuk!

I coughed up a little, who would recognize him with a short haircut and nothing covering his forehead, his head twitching no hair like before, Actually I almost forgot him, I almost forgot him, if Raka doesn't show up here, I also don't feel like I see her every morning service.

Or am I the one not paying attention around?

Then I blinked a few times after hearing a flick of a finger in my ear. I glanced at the friend beside me, his eyebrows then he played like giving a code for me to glance towards the front.

I was stunned, across there I saw Daren looking with a lazy face, his lips wrinkled his gaze was not pointing at me right? What the hell is this? I began not to understand him.
