Dreams of Devi

Nindi's Birthday Surprise

Alwi immediately put the doughnuts in a drawer and would return to take them out when Nindi came. The plan wasn't weird, she asked me to bring her doughnuts later when Nindi came. Really like babu.

Alwi also asked other friends to help her sing a happy birthday song later. Don't ask how your friends react. They are very supportive, especially Alwi told if today he intends to express his feelings to someone who became his dream.

"The shop will have to go well." From her stool, Alwi pointed right at me as if I were the key to her success.

"Yes, we'll try first. Failing or succeeding is your business" I slyly chirped.

"If later he does not accept, you persuade him until he wants to," threatened Alwi.

"If it doesn't work out, too?"

"Other times the effort again," he shrieked a little weakly.

"No, Al. That means you can't date." Alwi's expression changed instantly. He no longer responds to me, he leaves class.

Alwi who wants to express his feelings, but why am I not calm, huh? I am also looking forward to the arrival of Nindi, tumben once he has not come even though it has shown at 06.45 WIB. I suspect, it seems like he didn't go to school today.

I pulled out the reading book I borrowed from the library a few days ago. That's how I like to borrow books but sometimes until the due date of return I have not read.

"Kok, Nindi hasn't come yet, has she?" Alwi approached me with a look of anxious face.

"Wait first. Maybe still bothered at home, had not had time to leave," I said trying to calm Alwi.

"A further ten minutes the bell came in, it's not usual that he hasn't come yet." Alwi sat in Nindi's chair. He watched the clock on the wall, hoping that my best friend would show up at the door.

"Assalamualaikum, this is Nindi's class?" a girl from another class asked politely by the door.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Alwi was enthusiastic, he approached the girl.

"Nitip the letter, Nindi's sick." The girl handed the envelope to Alwi while saying thank you.

"What pain?" ask Alwi to the point.

"Lack of knowing too. It was his father who came here, at the gate happened to meet me, I was visited this," he explained again.

"Yes, thank you, yes" said Alwi.

"Together."

Alwi looked at me with a pitiful expression. I know his feelings, he has been broken out of expectation. But to see him sad like that makes me want to laugh. But anyway, I have to hold on to this laugh. To respect Alwi's feelings.

"Said Devi, that means you can not date, Al," said Oliv mimicked my words earlier. Though I try not to say that sentence again, why even Oliv who represents it.

"Eh, it can't be, Liv. Alwi again sad even dibandain," I said advising Oliv.

Alwi didn't seem to care. The envelope he put on the teacher's desk. After that he headed towards his chair with heavy steps, what a pity.

"Devi, this is for you!" Alwi turned around and put the origin of the doughnut on his back table. Wow, this unexpected rizki is his name.

"Really, Al? Not told to pay, right?" my many.

"No, that's for you. I think it's true what you said, don't date first" said Alwi.

"That's delicious. Also, dong!" Firman looks after donuts from Alwi. Not to be outdone, I immediately grabbed the bread with a round and hollow shape in the middle of it.

"Don't be stingy, dong, Dev," protested the Word.

"Who is stingy too. I just want to take one, but I want to choose first," I obviously took a doughnut with a cheese topping.

"Now, friends, who would like to take please! One seed two thousand!" I said then got cheers.

"Kidding .. kidding .... It's just angry," my whole life.

Within seconds the donut was overrun. Some friends don't get a part. Alwi finally issued the risoles that he had also prepared. Well, the less I can bear.

***

Fifteen minutes before the break, many students were starting to get excited. The clock on the wall felt as if it did not move its needle. Every now and then I let out a heavy sigh, as heavy as my brain understood the numbers that Bu Nuri explained. Never go into the brain, just look at it like my eyes refuse.

I occasionally look at the blackboard just a formality to look like I was watching Bu Nuri. Actually I was busy myself, struggling with books and pencils to make poetry.

"Who wants to work ahead?" ask Bu Nuri. Silence and students throw one another's eyes. Like I'm in love, I'm struggling this time.

"Nothing? I'm pointing, huh?"

A tough choice like this. The students were forced to answer 'yes' Bu Nuri's offer.

"Today's the 5th, Devi. Where's Devi?"

I cursed myself. Why must miss number five. I want to feel like I'm crying, sorry I didn't listen to Bu Nuri's explanation from earlier.

"I can't, Mom, yet" I said honestly.

"It's okay, I'll take her step!"

I wonder, why could it be so afraid of a teacher as good as Bu Nuri. The creepy mathematical impression made the teacher affected. Not all math teachers are scary.

"Come, Son. Try it first," said Bu Nuri again.

I got out of my chair with fear. Not afraid, rather embarrassed if later can not answer. If only there was Nindi now.

"What about you, Mom?" many of you are ready to bring a marker.

"Ina bought two pencils and one book for Rp. 6,500,00. Meanwhile, Ari bought one book and three pencils for Rp. 7,000,00. How much would Luna pay if she bought two books and two pencils?"

Why so long the question? Let alone to find the solution, understand the problem has made my brain hot. O Allah, I beg of You for help.

"How did it go, son?" ask Bu Nuri.

"Actually just ask the seller rather than dizzy, Mom," I replied as an anti-stiff human. Bu Nuri immediately smiled sweetly at me, while I noticed some friends who were holding back laughter.

"Smart child's answer. But I asked to be done using the SPLDV that I explained earlier, Son," said Bu Nuri so patiently facing me.

"Mom, I honestly did not pay attention to Mother's explanation," I said with teary eyes.

"So I noticed you were busy writing too."

"Write another, Mom."

"Other tasks?"

"No. Poetry, Mom. I get dizzy when I see the numbers" I said honestly. Ms. Nuri just smiled.

The break bell has even rung. I'm afraid after this it's been a classmate's month. They will be angry because they are late to rest.

"Good, Son. I understand how you feel, I did too. While your talent is writing, that's good. But I hope for the next meeting do not be repeated like this. Please go back to the bench, now it's time to rest."

Bu Nuri closed the lesson with a greeting. After that, he left class. Some of the students also went straight out of class, while I was still in my chair. I'm ashamed, I'm afraid that my friends are angry with me.

"Devi, no papa, right?" tanya Dila approached me.

"I'm ashamed. Sorry, yeah, because I'm getting a late break," I said.

"No papa, not for long, anyway. Actually, I myself cannot answer Bu Nuri's question earlier. Fortunately it wasn't me who came forward" Oliv said with a laugh.

"That's great if there's no Nindi. Usually he is the one who goes forward to train," said Mila who also I agree.

"Not to be so thoughtful. Next we have to study seriously. This was actually not a very difficult material if we want to pay attention to Ms. Nuri," explained Dila. Yeah, I agree with him, too.
