Fallen Leaf
Sad story
My life is like a man named Leaf. A name that is quite strange, even very strange is no longer enough. The proof, back when I was in elementary school a teacher signed my name. The teacher whose name was Mr. Aryo laughed out loud when he first read my name, I who was still small and innocent just scratched the nape while wailing. Because in the whole class I am the only one who does not laugh and until now I will engrave his name as a Teacher who I will repay his treatment in the future. Because, because of Pak Aryo my SD life became unsettled.
But luckily there was Rizho who always defended me. Not because we like it but because we are both the ingredients of the mockery, because especially? It is because of our unusual name.
Treading Junior High I want revenge with Mr. Aryo because my value is better than his son, I want to show my results to the teacher who played me first. But when I went to his house, a lot of notifications came in my phone, it was from Rizho, Mama, and the classroom grub. Because my phone keeps vibrating I finally open and glarrrr...
There was lightning in my brain. Mr. Aryo is rumored to have died, I was completely shocked and immediately felt very guilty. Fear what if Mr. Aryo will bully me because he knows my bad intentions.
Every night I prayed, praying in the hope that Mr. Aryo would calm down there. Really, that time was a funny incident at once scary for me. It feels so coincidental, if imagined now there is indeed a little humor in my story first.
And now I am the fragile Leaf, not invulnerable from childhood, but I am a timid, quiet, vengeful child. I'm so cryy and emotional.
On the one hand Rizho became a super cute person, not like me who has no friends, Rizho even has many friends and fans. I think he can make his position turn around, he was never played by someone now, but respected.
How do these leaves become as strong as the roots? The name is the hope of parents so that their children can mean as the name suggests. But why did my mom name me Leaf? Why didn't Dynosaurus let me be strong? One day I protested to my mother.
"You will die dong. Dynosaurus did not exist"
"What the hell Ma, say die to his son. It's good Ma, so Dynosaurus, I won't be trampled by people." Whine to Mama. Mama approached and patiently advised me.
"If so, you will be a bad person. You Mama gave the name Leaf so that it can be useful for others. Many benefits of leaves for life."
Yes gini his son Lecturer in Biology, anything all living things. Indeed leaves a lot of benefits but the name does not apply good to me. I just let a rough sigh pass leaving Mama who was still brewing tea in the living room. I open the door and then I close and I lock it.
"Bored." My breath, in every move I make. Open the laptop, confused close again. Open the phone no longer closed. Turning on the television is all gossip. Come on, sleep will be better.

"Daun want to turn me back?" The soft voice of a man behind me. I slowly turned to see if it was really her voice?
And Bommm....
He stood up carrying a beautiful red rose. I felt like my head was being dropped by a huge bomb. The brain is now empty due to the explosion.
"Huh?" Only that word can be said. The guy I just decided a week ago since the freshman admission, asked me to turn him back. Is that true? This haughty man said the thing that dropped his pride? It's really impossible.
Just the first step the man approached me, a little drizzling rain fell. I also looked up to feel a small drizzle. Then the rain was getting thicker to the point I was like in jubilant by a row of ice water.
"Yeah!!!"
"When do you dream? Today Papa comes home we have to pick him up at the airport." Obviously the number one most annoying person in the world, later you will also know who this person is, at this time I am too lazy to remember the misfortune of my life if I am with him.
But there's one thing I'm grateful for today. The shocking incident was fortunately just a dream. Otherwise, could I have a seizure I imagined this incredible miracle.

"Run dong. You're a fucking catfish." Snapping someone I didn't tell you about because I was lazy, I hate that he even hates him so much. He has always excelled in all fields, no wonder he always dared to treat me as he pleased.
"From morning on. Mama~" Rengekku asked for help.
"What's your problem with me?" With my chin slightly raised and the look of the annoyed face I displayed made him just silent. He did not answer, he just immediately turned on the car to rush to the airport. You freak think I am right now.
Upon arrival at the airport I hugged my Papa tightly. Likewise with others they all let go of all longing, for 2 years did not meet. My dad looks older now.
"It's nice to see Papa's two daughters."
"No. I'm Papa's only son." I said as I hugged Papa up to the car. I do look spoiled, maybe people who see me will be upset. But I can only be like this with my family, with other people? You'll see for yourself later.
"Papa hear this Papa Son can enter the best College." Papaku Tempta.
"Of course, even my grades are better than my grandmother's drop-in driving it."
"Hey only one value you're superior to me." Reply with a mocking laugh.
"Look at me I'll definitely beat you up in the future." My answer is spirit, feeling unacceptably always humbled. My brother-in-law only replied with a mutter.
"You have to get along better later, because there will be one host."
"What?"
I was surprised, very surprised. Again my mother made up her mind without talking to me first. But strangely my Brother-in-law did not feel surprised by that, yes the annoying person was my Brother-in-law. Maybe he already knows about all this?
"You're in the same College, so if you stay one boarding house will be good." Lecture Mama. Many times I whine unwillingly. But still the decision is unanimous. Even Mama has asked Mother Kost about all this. It's always just me not being told.
I'm angry right now, it feels so unfair. Who is his son actually? Me or my brother-in-law? My mom always seemed to like him more. If I can be honest this hatred arises maybe because I am jealous of my Sister-in-law. It's been rough like that a long time ago but when I was a kid I was happy to be treated like that I think the way he talks is different from others and I like it but since growing up I didn't like it to him.
I envy his name, his face, his brain, his way of speaking, everything. Every detail of her life is more beautiful. She's a flower I'm just a leaf. Flowers that always seem more attractive than leaves. Hundreds of leaves on the tree will lose to a single flower. His name is Flowers. The parasites are as beautiful as a flower. His brain should not be asked he's been back and forth abroad for the competition. It can be said to be perfect for a human being.
Tonight I have to move to Kost. Because tomorrow is the first day I go to college. Annoyed and happy to mix into one. I was forced to agree to stay with Kak Bunga because Papa forced me. Even promised if my pocket money would be added.
"Pa, Mama. We're leaving, yeah." Say Brother Bunga to Om and Tantenya. I reiterate he is not the parents of Brother Bunga but my parents.
"Yet be careful." I only glanced at my Mama at a glance and directly faced forward. Brother Bunga drove his car and here we are now just the two of us.
"Oh yes Brother, if you meet me on Campus do not greet me Leaf yes."
"Why? Want to call Batang?"
"What the hell. Call me Anggi or Gigi, and Gita can also just not my first name."
"Okay, I'll call you Angta." He answered with a flat face, annoying. What is called Angta, the name of my grass is Angita but seriously I will be called Angta? I just let the conversation go. It's up to this guy to call me what, really not human because he can't be compromised.
"Rizho didn't call you?"
"Not to be discussed, I've forgotten." My reply was quick, when Brother Bunga wanted to say another word, I hurriedly cut his words. "Silence I'm sleepy." I turned my back to Bunga, and silence happened.
What the hell is tugging at that crazy guy. It felt like my mood was getting ruined when that sacred name had to be mentioned.
