Bakoh Shoulder

Chapters 19. Reproof Bu Guru

Thousands of kilos of road you take

Pass the crossbar for me, your son

My dear mother, it's still going

Even though the footstool is full of blood, full of pus

Like air

The love you give

I can't afford to repay Mom

Moms

I want to close

And cry on your lap

Until I fall asleep

Like childhood was

Then prayers

Baluri all over my body

With what to repay Mom?

Mother. _Woman Fals.

Dinda approached Ayu's seat. His eyes are watering. Without being able to prevent the tears from falling. Ayu looked at Dinda with an expression that was hard to explain. Ayu only saw Dinda crying without telling her to stop or say anything. Ayu was completely silent.

"Yu.. You are what Dinda? How are you naughty Yu? Ayu naughty.. Ayu naughty.. Aduin ma'am teacher yok." Said the friend who saw Dinda crying near Ayu. Ayu was silent again. Ayu's eyes were still staring intensely at Dinda who was even louder.

"Yu.. I'm sorry Yu. Are you angry with me? Yu.. Your hand hurts, right? Yu.. Don't cuddle me Yu. hiks hyks" said Dinda softly in her sobbing.

"Peccishly naughty.. Ayu naughty.." Other friends are eager to make yel-yel so that the class is more rame.

"Mother teacher comes woeee.. Let Ayu be punished by the teacher!" Orders one of the children when he sees the teacher entering the class.

Class is silent. But, a moment later the babbling of Ayu's classmates made the class again noisy. They were in a race to report what they saw to the teacher. Everyone cornered Ayu. Dinda who was crying looked down.

"What's Dinda? Can you explain why you're crying?" The teacher approached Dinda.

Dinda didn't dare tell me the truth. It's the same as making his mamah a mockery in the classroom later. He looked instead at Ayu who was busy drawing without caring about her friends' complaints to the teacher.

"Dinda mom's nakalin! Though Dinda was just diem eh pas nyamperin Ayu he even cry. Maybe Ayu's already nyubit Dinda!" One of Ayu's classmates.

Now it's the teacher's turn to walk over to Ayu. The teacher saw Ayu drawing without caring about the surroundings who kept telling her that she was naughty.

"The picture is good Yu.. This must be Ayu with her mother huh..?" Said teacher slowly.

"Printer's a picture. Continue your talents, son. Ayu's picture is really good." The teacher rubbed Ayu's head slowly.

Something is strange. Ayu's head was hot when the teacher touched her.

"Yu.. Ayu's sick? You fever Yu. Let's get the teacher to the UKS." Ayu looked at the teacher. The boy then shook his head.

"Well, there's nothing, teacher. I want to learn."

Dinda who saw all that from her seat could only be silent. He was afraid that Ayu would tell the teacher that her mother had pinched Ayu's arm violently yesterday afternoon.

The teacher is very wise. He did not ask about Dinda crying earlier in front of the other students to Ayu. The teacher knew that it would definitely make Ayu more ridiculed by her friends. As an intermediary, the teacher called the two to the teacher's room during the break. He instructed his other students not to blame anyone anymore, and not to discuss the cause of Dinda's crying. And miraculously, the whole class obeyed what the teacher ordered.

"So that's why Dinda cried? Dinda wants to apologize to Ayu. And Ayu try here near the teacher's mom.." The teacher touched Ayu's forehead which still felt hot. I can be sure the boy has a fever.

Finally Dinda was honest if she just wanted to apologize to Ayu but, confused about where to start. The teacher also examined the marks on Ayu's arm. The small arm turned blue, it could be imagined how hard Bu Vera pinched Ayu to leave a bluish trail like that.

With the help of the teacher's mother, Ayu and Dinda again enjoy the beauty of their friendship. The teacher took the initiative to bring Ayu home and warned Vera if what Vera did to Ayu included physical violence and verbal violence. An act that will continue to be remembered even when the child is an adult later. This will affect the growth of the child. Many of them become quiet and closed because of the pressure from people like Vera, consider what he did trivial but it causes long-term effects.

"Juice in the UKS. Abis ate the same medicine, Ayu rest first here. Later when it's time to go home from school, the teacher came here again to nganter Ayu back home. Yea?" Hearing the teacher's explanation, Ayu agreed to obey.

The lesson hour bell ends. Students are out of class. Not with Ayu. He is still in the UKS room. His body felt weak, dizzy and painful in all joints.

Less than fifteen minutes Ayu and the teacher arrived at Ayu's house. The teacher helped Ayu into the house. Ayu's face was pale, but the heat had already gone down.

"Yu.. Ayu usually comes home at what time?" The teacher sat on a long bench.

"Before maghrib bu guru." His voice sounded raucous. The teacher felt sorry to see Ayu who was still wearing school uniform curled up on a long bench with batik cloth as her blanket.

The teacher told Ayu to rest, like her initial intention when bringing Ayu home, the teacher immediately visited Dinda's house to meet her mother.

"Assalamu'alaikum house.." Greet the teacher when the door is open. Vera smiled widely.

"Wa'alaikumsalam.. Is there any wind what is this teacher's mother until you visit my house." Still sounds friendly.

Teachers are welcome to enter. Dinda who saw the teacher's mother actually came to the house directly sat next to the teacher's mother.

"Minda! Here.. It's not polite to sit there." Vera blatantly snapped at Dinda even though there were guests there.

"Here you are, Din." The teacher was friendly.

"Bu Vera's.. I don't seem to have to make small talk, so here it is.. I meant to come here to give understanding and warning to Miss Vera." When Vera wanted to interrupt the teacher's words, the teacher's hand gave a stop code so she could continue.

"Mom.. Bu Vera knew Ayu was an orphan. He is famous for being cheerful, smart to hang out with anyone at school, polite, and obedient. But, Vera ma'am knows? Today the always cheerful child became moody and quiet. Even he's sick now. Miss Vera knows why?" Vera. Not giving a response means that it has been discussed about Ayu.

"Maybe according to Vera this is normal but I tell you here.. Do not again Miss Vera do actions that if damaging the child's mentality or make the child become depressed. The child I mean here is not just Ayu of course. Bu Vera's attitude of yelling, insulting, speaking rudely or worse doing physical violence can have a bad effect on the child you know."

Getting a visit from the teacher who even cornered him, of course Vera did not stay silent. He keeps talking in self-defense if all he does is protect his son, Dinda. Vera assumes for herself that Ayu is a bad influence on her son.

At the end of the teacher's visit to Vera's house, he could see the dislike that Vera clearly showed him.

"Yes.." Call the teacher to see Ayu is asleep.

The teacher saw Ayu sleeping by smothering the picture she had made at school. This child must have been very longing for the figure of the mother who gave birth to him.
