A Hope Above the Wait

Friendship

At that time the clock showed at 06:30 am. A little girl was sitting there enjoying her morning breakfast with a glass of milk in front of her and a plate filled with toast. She is Jasmine Anshari, the daughter of a famous police officer in the city. Moments later a woman was seen coming out of her room and she hugged Jasmine while greeting Jasmine spoiled. She is Vidya Anshari, the biological mother of Jasmine.

At that time Jasmine looked grim, because her father still had not come home from duty. She misses her father a lot but whenever Jasmine asks her Mother about her Father, Her mother always asks Jasmine to wait, wait, and wait. Jasmine who continued to hear her mother asking to wait finally she was upset and angry. He was seen leaving his mother without saying goodbye to her.

Moments later Jasmine is seen arriving at her school, but upon arriving at school she sees a man getting off a car. He was Ijaz, his best friend but back then Ijaz was delivered by someone Jasmine had never seen. The man was heavy and tall. Seeing that Jasmine was already at the gate of the Ijaz school immediately rushed to introduce the man to Jasmine. Ijaz said that the man was his father. Hearing this, Jasmine smiled at Father Ijaz and kissed Father Ijaz's hand well.

"Yes Pa, Ijaz same Jasmine entered the school first," said Ijaz to ask permission to his father and he kissed his father's hand and said greetings. After that Ijaz and Jasmine went together into the classroom.

Moments later, Jasmine is sitting in the classroom alone with a sad face. Not long after Ijaz passed in front of Jasmine's class, seeing Jasmine was sad Ijaz approached Jasmine and she sat in a chair beside Jasmine.

"What's up Jasmine? Why do you look sad?" ask Ijaz to Jasmine.

"No papa, I'm just a little sad. You could have been delivered by your father, but I was never delivered by my own father at all!. He was more busy with his work and did not care about me anymore," Jasmine replied sadly.

"You take it easy, I'm sure, someday your father will take you to school like my father did. Now don't you be sad anymore, how about tomorrow I ask Dad to pick you up too?" bargain Ijaz by giving a smile on his sweet face.

"No need, I'll just go with the driver" Jasmine replied and lowered her head.

Time passed by so quickly, the sun was already overhead. Jasmine is seen out of her class and Ijaz is already outside the classroom to take Jasmine home. They also walked together, when they were already at the school gate, Ijaz's father was waiting for Ijaz as well as Jasmine's driver.

"My father is waiting for me, I am Jasmine first" said Ijaz with a small smile on his lips.

Hearing that Jasmine replied with a smile, Ijaz hurried away from Jasmine to approach her father. At that time Ijaz looked very happy to be picked up by his father.

"Son Jasmine, what's wrong? Why are you sad?" asked Ijaz's father when he saw Jasmine walking towards his driver sadly.

"No papa kok Om, " replied Jasmine then he smiled and entered the car "Om, Ijaz, I first yes," said Jasmine then he waved his hand towards Ijaz and his father. Ijaz and Ijaz's father responded simultaneously, after which Jasmine asked the driver to drive her car.

The next day, Jasmine was in school. He is seen walking alone without Ijaz, when it is seen some of his upperclassmen approach him to ask Jasmine for money. At that time Jasmine did not give her money to them. Feeling annoyed with Jasmine, finally her upperclassmen threatened Jasmine if she did not give the money she would be hit with a broomstick. Seeing that Jasmine was afraid, finally inevitably she had to give her money to her upperclassmen. Seeing Jasmine who was in distress Ijaz also helped Jasmine, by acting like a hero. He confronted and confronted his upperclassmen without the slightest fear.

"Return money!" say Ijaz with a firm and bold tone.

"If I don't want to, why? Trouble for you, huh?" replied one of his upperclassmen who asked Jasmine for money.

Hearing the answer Ijaz looked very upset and angry, he then pushed his upperclassman to the floor. Seeing this the other upperclassmen attempted to attack Ijaz but failed because one of the teachers, passed near them and separated them all. When the teacher was able to divorce Ijaz with his upperclassman. The teacher is seen bringing the two children involved in the fight to the headmaster's room, as well as Jasmine. Arriving at the principal's room the teacher explained what he had seen earlier.

"Explain to me, why did you two make a fuss earlier?" ask the principal.

"Sir, this is all my fault sir!" jasmine replied with a hint of fear.

"Why? Explain it to me!" the headmaster replied in a slightly annoyed tone.

Immediately, Ijaz and Jasmine were seen coming out of the principal's room together.

"Thank you, because you've been willing to help me to ask for my money back from my upperclassman!" jasmine said well.

"Same, it is not appropriate for a friend to help a friend who is in distress" replied Ijaz with a smile on his lips.

From that day on, Ijaz looked very attentive with Jasmine. Where they look always together except when going to the toilet or when going home. They also often share one with the other. They are like flowers and beetles need each other. Day after day they went through together, their friendship was getting closer and stronger with each other. Jasmine and Ijaz protect each other. They shared answers during the exam and they cheated each other. They were also often in the law together.

When it was seen, Ijaz and Jasmine were standing in front of the class with their hands holding both ears. This happened because at that time Jasmine and Ijaz were caught cheating one with the other during the exam in class. They look very happy when they get the law from the teacher, they thought that without the exam he would be free but it was not true when the remaining exam time was only 5 minutes the teacher who punished the two children immediately completed his sentence and asked the two children to do the work the exam.

Hearing those words Jasmine and Ijaz immediately rushed into the examination room and took the test in a hurry. Not long after, the school bell rang indicating that the exam was over. One by one the students collect their exam assignments to the teacher in charge of maintaining the exam.

"Oh, how is it? The exam time is over again" said Ijaz nervously and he answered the test with origin. So did Jasmine, he also did the same thing as Ijaz did.

A few seconds later, the teacher who had sentenced Ijaz and Jasmine had the two children collect the results of her exam. With a high sense of confidence Ijaz walked over to the teacher who punished him. As for Jasmine, he looked doubtful and fearful as he gathered the results of his exam to the teacher on duty at that time. He seemed sad about his actions.

"Mom, please don't tell my mom about this!" pinta Jasmine well then she held both ears as a sign of apology.

"If you do not want your mother to know, then do not repeat this incident again. You are also Ijaz," replied the teacher then the teacher took the test result from Jasmine well. After that the teacher left the classroom and left Jasmine and Ijaz.

When the teacher had left the room, Jasmine approached Ijaz in annoyance.

"Why didn't you apologize earlier?" jasmine said furiously.

"Why should I apologize? I am not wrong, "Ijaz replied casually and not afraid if reported by the principal to his master about the attitude of Ijaz.

"Why can you think like that? It is our fault that if we do not cheat each other, we may not receive punishment.After all, are you not afraid that our actions will be reported to our parents?" said Jasmine.

"Let's just relax, my parents love me so much so you don't worry if I report it to my parents!" Ijaz answered casually and left Jasmine in the room.

Hearing that remark Jasmine only looked dejected, as Ijaz seemed to be unconcerned by whatever was happening in his future. He looked only at Ijaz who had left him. The thing that Jasmine did not want happened where the teacher who served at that time told of the actions of Jasmine and Ijaz, to make a debate between the parents of Ijaz and Jasmine. They blame each other. The teacher who recounted all the events also tried to mediate the two parents of the student. The parents of the two children were calm. The teacher asked Ijaz and Jasmine's parents to make peace because here the teacher explained that this mistake was made by both of them.

A little while later, at home Jasmine was outraged by her parents as well as Ijaz. At that time Jasmine only listened to her Mother and Father who scolded her because she realized that she was guilty. While Ijaz was seen against his master's people to make his father say he would send Ijaz to Pakistan. Hearing that at first Ijaz was silent and did not believe his father. He was seen entering his room and closing the door by slamming the door.

"This is Pa, this is what I don't like about Ijaz in Indonesia. He fought with us, so Pa better take him to Pakistan. Maybe if we stay there he'll change!" said Ijaz Mother because she was upset with the child's outrageous behavior.

Hearing his wife's request Father Ijaz also agreed what was asked by his wife. Without speaking first with Ijaz.
