Deni patted Ozzie's shoulder slowly "Zie you're nervous no, cave hands are cold" Deni thrust his hand in front of Ozzie's face.
"Sama, the cave too, you've already got it"
"Ah, not cool you, very stiff" Deni looked at the left and right looking at all the faces of his class friends looking panicked and nervous, some holding hands, holding hands, there are also hugs each other.
The headmaster and the other teachers had already taken the podium to give the announcement of the exam this time, visible from their faces, no smiles, all put on a serious look, intermittent minutes, a few minutes apart, the headmaster stood at the very front of the podium while picking up the loudspeakers.
"Assalamualaikum children, before giving your exam results, I want to say thank you because you have fought until now, whatever the results do not be disappointed, I'm sure this is not the end of everything, I'm sure, for those who graduate do not over-express joy, because this is the beginning of your steps forward to reach your dreams and ideals"
The headmaster was silent for a while, he let out a long sigh" both the children, the father announced at the school kitaa, noaak ad-a" The headmaster paused his words.
All the students were seen there began to cry, some were hugging each other tightly, the sound of sobbing began to sound, seeing the condition of the headmaster resumed his speech.
"Don't cry, I'll continue"
"Our school nobody doesn't PASS"
"GOOD LUCK WITH YOU PASSING A HUNDRED PERCENT"

Ozzie, Deni and Rio they embrace each other, "congratulations to us, finally graduated, but instead of counting buttons" Deni wiped the tears that flowed from his cheeks, he said, Ozzie and Rio were in tears, there was a feeling of relief, haru, happy, all mixed into one, indeed the National Examination was very draining of their hearts and minds but when the results of the exam were announced, it was very difficult to do so, there is a sense that is difficult to understand, a sense that maybe if this test does not exist, there will be no more students who feel happiness when we are declared to pass for all the efforts we do.
"Zie walk yuk, go around" Zira's classmate Ozzie approached them.
"Gas is Ra" Deni began chiming in.
