This morning the class was boisterous by the sound of children joking before the class teacher entered the classroom. There were even people throwing paper at each other, occasionally their laughing sounds echoed through the classroom of thirty students.
"Fazila, when's your birthday?"
"My birthday?" Show Fazila to herself.
"La. Your birthday, Dena's birthday."
"I never celebrated." Fazila said sadly.
"Why are you sad? We're not here, just tell me when your birthday is!" Said Amir the puffer boy while smilingly showing off his toothless tooth.
"I'm not sad because my birthday is not celebrated. I'm just sad, every time my birthday arrives, Ummi must cry without my knowledge at night. That's why I wish my birthday never existed." Fazila said while bending her face.
"Maybe your Ummi has a problem, or you're doing something wrong." Amir's voice was spontaneous,
and that made Fazila upset.
"It's not Amirrrr."
"Then what's the problem?" Ask Amir, Dena, and Lisa together. Fazila who heard his three compact friends asking the same question could only squint while shaking her head not knowing the answer to his best friend's question.

"Boss, madam called. He asked why the boss isn't a Restaurant yet."
Hearing Bobby's question, I chose to ignore him.
"What's wrong with the advertising model you chose, is the ability just this?" I got pissed and threw in all the company reports this month.
"What's wrong with all the employees? I've paid for their hard work, but what is this?" I shouted at Bobby who knew nothing. While all I shouted was to duck without saying a word.
What's wrong with me? Why would I vent my anger on an innocent person. Lirihku slowly while looking at the face down Bobby.
Ahhhhhh!
I screamed as I ruffled my hair
"This boss..." Iklima's words were stuck in his throat because he heard my screams. I think the girl is scared right now.
I thought Iklima was scared, in fact the girl walked towards my desk while showing off her sweet smile.
"Boss. This is the report of the month. And what the boss saw was last month's report." Say the Claim while thrusting the file in his hand.
Bobby plays his index finger, takes Iklima out. I think that's what makes me like Bobby, that kid always knows my way of thinking before I reveal it.
Right now I'm standing between time bombs, not knowing which one will explode first.
Family and Seren?
Both of them really frustrate me.
Oppa with a forced and stubborn attitude always gave orders that I immediately marry Seren.
You guys were engaged for ten years? What do others think of our family? That silly remark is always repeated Oppa if I happen to visit the big house. To hell with the opinions of others, if others do not understand my feelings for what I care about their opinions.
I'm always cold, maybe that's why everyone keeps away from me except Bobby who's always around me.
Baby... When are you coming? I look forward to your arrival❤
I smiled sinisterly as I read the short message Seren sent.
"All right! I'm gonna end this ridiculous drama." I said while pulling the suit I put on the back of the chair.
"I'm sick of the drama Seren played, you started it and today I'm going to end it." I'm in my heart.
Looks like I have to get ready, if Oppa gets angry he's always light-handed. And if I get angry I'll lose control. I walked away from the company, Bobby prepared to follow but I forbade him. Today is the day I'll break this nameless stupid relationship.
...***...
The entire family of both parties had gathered to decide the date of the wedding.
Tok.Tok-sign.Tok.
"Come in, baby." Say Seren while pulling my arm.
All eyes were on me with a happy smile, I had no idea what made them so happy. I didn't even win the lottery, and I didn't need the lottery either.
There are a million questions that arise in my silence, even so I remain silent and sit on the bench that mama showed, precisely next to Oppa who had not stopped smiling.
"Son Alan, how are you doing, son?" Her papa Seren asked as if this was the first time we met, she looked awkward.
"less good." Answer me briefly.
"Alan darling... Do you know the purpose of our meeting?"
"No." Reply again.
"You've been engaged for a long time, you don't know what makes you postpone marriage. But not anymore, we're going to set things up." Seren's mom tried to convince him with her sweet words.
This meeting is getting boring, if only I had known earlier I wouldn't have come. Moreover, to spend my precious time listening to this useless talk.
"wait. Wait for... So max you guys, I'm gonna marry Seren?" I asked with a slightly surprised look, I tried not to show it.
"Of course, son!" My mother and Seren's mother answered at the same time.
"I don't want to marry Seren! Sorry for being late for revealing it, I broke this relationship." I said firmly, all eyes were on me, the two families' horrible gazes were like time bombs I didn't know which one would explode first.
Oppa's sharp gaze gave me goosebumps. Even Seren, the woman started crying.
I hate to see tears, somehow seeing Seren crying makes me want to laugh. I can bear it so that the two families do not get more angry.
"I don't love Seren anymore. The love I used to adore has evaporated the air." Saying again, hearing my bad words mama almost fell down, fortunately papa immediately grabbed his weak body.
"A brash kid, what are you talking about. Is this how we educate you, huh...?" Oppa went up, almost slapped me, fortunately omma immediately grabbed his arm.
Seren was still crying, while his family just sat quietly without calm. To be honest, I feel very sorry for Seren's mom, she's a gentle and kind woman. Even so I still can't get Seren.
I thought I could take it after all this time, I was wrong. That damn Vidio still weighs on my mind, I think it's the end of my story and the woman I once loved. I don't want to insult her by mentioning her disgrace.
"Let's go, we've done enough. And you...." Her papa Seren pointed towards me with a murderous look, I can understand that.
"And you, take my words well. One day you will suffer, just as you made my family cry today. One day you will cry bitterly, and then you will know that a father's heart is very fragile when he sees his daughter crying." The middle-aged man pulled Seren's arm while crying.
I see my family as sad as well, not wanting to get involved with their grief I prefer to leave without saying a word.
The decision to release Seren was right, hopefully he gets a much better man than me. I flowed in my heart while continuing to step away from the family that was still struggling with her sadness.

"Fazila, kiai says you're going to the Qur'an memorization race, is that true?"
"I don't know, Dena. Ummi didn't say anything about it." Plain Fazila.
"By the way, did you tell Amir and Lisa that we were going to Kiai Hasan's house to study Tajwit?" Fazila asked as she thrust out Dena's Quran which was accidentally carried away in her bag.
"Of course, their base is lazy." Dena was upset at the two best friends. Usually Fazila, Dena, Lisa and Amir always leave together to Kiai Hasan's house.
"Let's go, we're late." Fazila pulled Dena's arm, without them noticing the two friends they were waiting for called their names but they did not hear it because at that time Fazila was repeating his Surah Al-Baqarah memorization.
