Jakarta, 2015
In front of the old mirror, the girl in the high school uniform was
looking at his shadow. Her long hair was left untouched
without accessories. A few days ago he was seventeen
the year. But his seventeen years are not as lively as most teenagers outside
sana. The girl actually remembered the words of her mother last night that made her
I refuse to go to school today.
He exhaled deeply, then took out a perfume bottle
smelling vanilla and squirting into his uniform. The smell of vanilla is coming out
filled the room not so wide. The girl checked the contents
his school bag, making sure no items are left behind.
Feeling that everything was in order, he stepped out of the room.
Glancing at the circular watch on his left hand, the clockwork showed
six o'clock over twenty minutes.
“Away, Nduk?”
asked a middle-aged woman who was pouring hot tea inside
mug.
“Already, Mom,” answered.
“Yo wes, be careful
on the road, yeah! The real school, studying seriously,” said Bu Ratih while
take out a piece of money of ten thousands.
“Maturnuwun, Kanaya
leave first,” pampitnya.
The girl accepted it, put it in her pocket, then
kissed the back of his mother's hand. In the yard, his father was wiping
old onthel bikes that have started to rust. Kanaya approached her father to
farewelled. With a gontai move, the seventeen-year-old teenager
go to school.
The streets in the morning are always crowded. Although
not domiciled in the middle of the city, but the crowds of people who drive
in the morning enough to make the road that Kanaya passed into a little jammed,
especially if the red light is on at the intersection.
After about fifteen minutes, Kanaya arrives at her school.
The girl walked down the school corridor, her class was at the very end
first floor.
“Nay, wis work on PR
physics?” asked Edo who immediately approached the bench of Kanaya as soon as the girl
sit.
“Already,” the answer is short.
“Can I borrow first? I'm still lacking one thing. Number
five hard bnget, meh no work
last night at home but can't e.”
from inside his bag and give it to Edo. It was not just Edo
being busy copying PR, the other friends are the same, and the majority
male.
Such a scene was no longer familiar to the eyes
Kanaya's. Since sitting on the bench of Junior High, his friends also often
doing PR at school for reasons of forgetting, or because it is too difficult. However
that never happened to Kanya. Because if it's about duty,
Kanaya always does it on time.
As a clever and diligent student, Kanaya was never stingy either
giving job cheats to his friends. Except when repeated. For the sake of
Kanaya, daily repetition is a proof of seriousness in learning.
“Swipe bit, Do!” Naufal suddenly sat down at Edo to ask for the same cheat.
“Tumben, Fal. Usually diligent.” Edo shifted a little
sitting position.
“Enight overslept until forgot there was PR. Awake
dawn,” clear Naufal without staring at Edo. His eyes and hands were nimble copying tasks
kanaya's.
Seven o'clock just as the entrance bell rang, task book
kanaya's property has just been returned. The first lesson today is physics
the one powered by Bu Eko. Although Kanaya is quite good at academics, but
he didn't like this one subject very much.
“Can not the subjects of physics skipped, my brain feels so kinky
every time there's a physics lesson,” Kanaya complained to Hasya, her best friend.
“If this school does not have sanctions for students who
miss, surely every physics lesson has not escaped you, Nay. My brain always boils every time
physics lesson,” Hasya replied as he pulled the book out of his bag.
“Why yes, Yes? Curriculum in this country is not
made that free? So every High School student can immediately focus on learning
in accordance with his passion.”
“That is, Nay?”
“Ya for example children whose passion in sports, literacy, or art, it is not
need again to learn physics or chemistry that is rich in gini.”
“Hahahaa... wait for you who become the minister of education, just,
Nays. Or wait for you to become a teacher, so you can voice your unek-unek this.”
“Huft.” Kanaya let out a long breath. Later, Mom
Eko goes into their class.
Ms. Eko is one of the teachers at this school
the most orderly when it comes to ***. There are not five minutes after the bell
it read, Mrs Eko must have been in the classroom.
