Dollar Girl

Chapter 24 The Beginning of Change

Teng Teng Teng Teng

Finally the lesson today is over as well, it feels tired to force the brain to keep thinking. Not to mention the task that began to accumulate, although briefly Ratna wanted to go on vacation to eliminate fatigue.

"Let me help!" said Ratna saw Mita who had difficulty carrying all the books.

"Thank you" said Mita, handing over some of the books.

They started walking outside the classroom talking and went into the teacher's room to store the books.

"Well, which high school do you want to go to?"

"Ah...we are just about to face the first semester exam, why are you all in such a hurry?" ratna was tired.

"All?" ask Mita wonder.

"Yes, the master also asked the same thing. Do we really need to get it ready now?"

"Oh, not really, it's just that, you must have one High School that you want to enter for example SMA 7. Almost all children in our class want to enter that popular school, but the requirements to enter it are quite heavy at least your grades must be above five"

"You want to go to that school?"

"Um.I feel like a dream if I make it in" Mita replied with a smile.

"Why? you're smart!"

"But the cost at school was quite expensive, I thought my parents wouldn't be able to"

"At least try, maybe you can get a scholarship. Unlike me, it's poor fool too!"

"You're not that bad, your masterpiece's good"

"It was master-made, I was injured when I was going to make a masterpiece so the master made the vase for me"

"Oh.

Deep in his heart he admitted to being very envious of Ratna surrounded by male friends, even he was treated like a princess by them. Unlike him who is always an enemy in the class, but he believes he never made a mistake.

"I'm so jealous of you!"

"What?" mita asked aghast.

"You're smart and beautiful, what less than you? you even have complete parents and live well despite not being rich, while I can't even afford new shoes" Ratna said staring down.

Suddenly Mita remembered that Ratna had no mother and it made her ashamed to have been envious when it was true Ratna said that she was more fortunate.

"Do not worry about shoes, that fate can be changed so learn more diligently so that you can also get a scholarship. Then work hard so you can change your shoes once a week" Mita said, rubbing Ratna's shoulder.

"Of course, even if I don't like learning, I will change my fate for the better. Let's try together!" ratna replied with a smile.

Right at the school gate they ended the conversation and parted because the direction of their house was different, alone Ratna continued her journey until suddenly Yuni came to approach her.

"I want to talk to you" Yuni said seriously.

"What's wrong?" tanya Ratna who felt a gripping air.

Yuni did not immediately reply, he invited Ratna to go somewhere quieter. Unexpectedly Yuni suddenly pushed Ratna down until she fell.

"You heard it! it's not the first time I've done something like this so don't expect you to get away from me" she snapped.

"What do you mean? why are you doing this to me?" ratna asked while trying to get up.

But roughly Yuni pushed back Ratna, keeping her down. With a face full of anger he said again.

"Don't hide behind a childhood friend's words, I know you're after Ardi and trying to reach his heart. Just so you know women like you disgust me and want to vomit"

"What... did you say?" ask Ratna again slowly.

"I saw it with my own eyes, you teased him so much that Ardi would carry you."

Yuni's remarks reminded him of the event when his leg was injured, apparently Yuni was there and saw the incident but did not know the cause why Ardi was holding him.

"God, you misunderstood, we.... "

"We? now you start using our word! since when have you guys been playing behind my back?" tukas Yuni cut her words.

"Yun is not like that" Ratna said trying to explain.

"I'm not going to stay silent, you see! I'll make you suffer" he threatened.

Without giving Ratna a chance to talk Yuni passed carrying with her still mounting anger, still lying on Ratna's ground could only sigh deeply.

He did not expect Yuni would be prejudiced against him just because he saw Ardi close enough to him, if he remembered the first meeting they were also not good. From the beginning Yuni had shown her dislike only because Ardi did not allow herself to support Jaya.

"Truly, either Jaya or Yuni they misunderstood our friendship" he muttered.

If you think again Yuni's actions are reasonable because his love for Ardi blinds his eyes by jealousy, even though it is excessive for him.

"The relationship turned out to be troublesome, if like this making friends is indeed better than any relationship" he murmured again.

Yuni's threat is not taken lightly because there are problems that more attention, mathematical tasks that must be done tomorrow. If he can't finish it then it's not just a reduction in the value he gets but also a punishment.

"Gosh, I'll die tomorrow!" his gerrick.

Upon arrival at the house Ratna quickly changed clothes and re-opened the textbook, but instead of completing the task he even daydreamed because he did not understand at all.

"Arghhhh!" frustrated screams.

"I'd better ask Amus for help" he decided.

"Um.

Luckily Ardi was at home and was doing chores as well, although a little impatient but he was a pretty good teacher. Slowly Ratna understood and was able to do the task even though it still took time.

"You better start memorizing formulas, do you have a quick study book? in the book there is a way to calculate fast with fingers and mathematical formulas" said Ardi proposed.

"I don't have a book like that"

"Then buy it, it's not expensive"

"Where can I buy it?"

"Of course in the bookstore"

"I mean where is it? I don't know where the bookstore is" Ratna said.

"Oh, well tomorrow after school I'll take you" replied Ardi.

As promised, the next day after school Ardi accompanied him to buy the books he needed. Incredibly, as usual, Ardi bought her a small ice cream hood while walking together, thanks to which Ratna's mood rose again after a grueling school lesson.

"Oh.. I forgot!" ardi said suddenly on his way home.

"What's wrong?"

"I promise I'll join Amus in futsal, damn it! is it still possible... "

"Based on you, then leave!"

"You okay going home by yourself?"

"Just calm down, you better worry about yourself"

"All right, I'm going first"

"Well, said Ratna, waving to Ardi who was running fast.

After Ardi was lost from sight he walked back, but suddenly someone pulled his hand violently and took him to a deserted garbage dump.

"Yuni." she called out in shock to recognize the figure dragging her body.

Plaques

Without warning a single slap floated right on Ratna's cheek, the pain mixed with shock making her heart beat fast.

"I've warned you, I won't stay silent" Yuni whispered in anger.

As soon as Ratna realized that the misunderstanding between her and Yuni had not been resolved, it was confirmed that Yuni saw again her togetherness with Ardi that ignited the flames of jealousy.

"Yun, you got us wrong.... "

"Shut up! again you dare to use our word" Yuni snapped cutting off the speech.

Ratna could only fall silent, waiting for the fire in Yuni's heart to shrink slightly after that she would explain what happened.

"You really make me sick!"

Brucks

Aw....

Yuni's hand thrust was so strong that it made Ratna hit the trash, resulting in pain in her back as she fell in a puddle.

"Hehehe felt that you deserved it" Yuni said.

Ratna was unable to move, not because her leg was injured but the words she heard had paralyzed her heart. Speech that he often heard for five years, a speech that made him shudder so unable even to lift his head.

Whatever he did once was right in the end he would fall down with that speech that he first heard, Sari's speech with a grin that made it a nightmare.

He was still sitting there, bowing his head in a feeling of abandonment and emptiness. His longing for death reappeared just after the bitter tingling that made his body tremble, the thing he wanted to do the most was to tear his ears so that the scornful laughter would no longer be heard. But honey, his hands don't have the strength to do that.

His mind began to scream, asking for help from anyone who could break the chains of hell. He wanted to ask his mother for help but unfortunately his mother was already free from the chain, even if she was still there his mother was never able to help him.

"Listen to my mother..from now on. never... bow your head... to... anyone...., go home to your father..."

That sentence, the last words of his late mother before the death to pick him up. In the last moments of his breath a will more meaningful than a mountain of gold gave him the strength to speak.

For the first time he dared to say his will and it was granted, he had lived happily with his father without any demonic interference.

Slowly Ratna lifted her head, looking at the new demon who was trying to put chains on her. His brain is always difficult to use learn to take pictures right grin and face of the enemy, storing it in the memory of the mind that will not be erased by anything.

"Not for this time, mother has given me permission to raise my head and never submit to anyone" Ratna said out of her cage.

"What do you want?" tanya Yuni who sensed the cold aura of Ratna.

"We'll see what I can do."

Plaques

One hard slap was enough to avenge the slap he had received earlier, he still had two indebtednesses of avenged thrust.

"Ratna.. You don't fuck around!" yuni shouted back a few steps.

But Ratna did not make the remark, she continued forward and promised never to back down again.

Kyaaa.......

"Ratna...... "
