Hijab And Waiting

Introductions

After two weeks off from school, Diana is finally going to school today. It was difficult for a Diana who was still in the IX class of First Middle School to live all this, where she had to manage her life and take care of her two younger brothers. The youngest Ifan was brought by Oma Nuri to the city to take care of all the unfinished transfer papers.

The alarm on Diana's phone sounded at 04:30. Diana hurriedly got up from her bed, and headed straight for the bathroom to clean up and fulfill her obligations immediately. Afterwards he continued his activities in the kitchen, cooking for his two younger brothers. That was Diana's weeklong wait until Oma came home from the city. The sweat began to wash over his body.

If only I were destined to be the son of a rich man, I would be very happy. No need to bother like this, every day must dwell in front of firewood. Huft. Diana lamented her fate.

At that time in the house of Oma Nuri who was in the village there was no oil or gas stove, there was only wood. They used to cook with firewood. Diana, who was not used to it, looked exhausted while shedding tears because she was exposed to wood smoke that had not been burned completely.

"Sir, first day of school?" tanya Dimas was still half sleepy.

"Yes, your hunt is bathing. Let me prepare her breakfast", Diana orders her sister.

With his shunt steps, Dimas went inside the bathroom.

"Sir, wake. You'll be late. Go hunted!" Diana wakes up Kevin, who is still in Primary School.

"Sir, can't take a day off today. Kevin is still sleepy" Kevin replied as he took his blanket and covered his body back.

"Hey, no way. Holidays are too long, why do you want to add more. Come on.....!" diana's orders were half angry.

Kevin who saw Diana's expression as if he wanted to swallow her felt afraid and immediately moved from his bed, then immediately went into the bathroom.

"Kids, today I'm going to introduce you to your new friend. He moved out of town. Come on, kid, come here!" said Bu Fauziah who happened to be Diana's homeroom teacher at school.

Diana came to the front of the class to introduce herself. All eyes looked towards him. Looking at Diana with a strange look. Naturally, Diana who was not used to her new clothes became part of the school regulations. While in town, Diana used to wear a short skirt and a short-sleeved school uniform. However, in Diana's new school, all students must dress in Muslim clothes. Diana wore a hijab that could be used without having to use a needle, so it was easier she thought. But it makes him the strangest, because Diana's other friends wear a hijab that is rectangular, which is large and uses a needle to wear it.

What's up with them? Why look at me so, I feel uncomfortable. Diana was getting nervous.

"Assalamualaikum", Diana's greeting was immediately answered by her classmates. "My name is Diana Assyfa Marwan, I moved from Iskandar Muda school in the city of M" said Diana briefly.

"Well, city boy. How to enter the village?!" Rengga started to tease Diana. Rengga was the baddest student in his class. His stature was high in white, with a pointed nose. Handsome indeed, but his behavior often makes the teachers fret.

"Rengga, I didn't tell you to talk" Bu Fauziah said in response to Rengga's ignorance of Diana. "Diana, please sit there", Ms. Fauziah pointed to the empty bench next to Irma.

The layout in the classroom was very different from the classroom in the school Diana used to be in the city, in the new school Diana, Diana, the table that is arranged there is a large table and occupied by 4 students who are separated between men and women. While in the city, at the school Diana who used to just sit with a friend alone.

"Hi, my name is Diana", Diana reached out to the friend on her left.

While Reni who is on the right side of Diana just silence. The lesson also begins. Diana felt very dissatisfied, how could the lessons learned in her new school had been studied even when she was still in the VII Junior High. Everything is very easy for him. Moreover, he was a general champion in his favorite school. Diana worked on the matter from her teacher for a short time. The friend on her left right looked at Diana in surprise.

Teng.....Teng.....Teng....

The bell of the break sign sounded.

Oh, my God, they don't even have bells. There are only bells that are hit to indicate the lesson has ended. It was so different from my old school. Oh my God. Diana muttered in my heart.

"Come on!", take Irma

"Where?" ask Diana.

"To the canteen dong, aren't you hungry?" ask Irma again.

Diana was still speechless and smiled wryly.

"You go first, I'm not hungry yet", Diana refused subtly.

Irma left Diana. Diana was not his not hungry, but she tried her best with the rest of the money that Oma Muri gave her. He was afraid that the money would run out, while at home there were two younger siblings who had to be fed every day. In the village Diana has not received additional activities that can make money, for additional pocket money. While in the city, Diana always attended Cherleaders activities where when their team was invited to fill events, they were paid a hefty fee.

"Hey.", someone surprised Diana. Irawan Rengga. The most awkward student in his class. Diana was silent without expression.

"Why move to the village?" ask Rengga again.

"What's his business with you?!" timpal Diana's.

"It's very conceited to be a girl" said Rengga as he approached Diana and sat down beside her. Diana did not reply.

"Hei Rengga, there's a new kid who forgot about me", Arni approached too. Arni is a student who likes Rengga in that class.

"The problem for you", Rengga answered accordingly.

Diana, who saw the disagreement, began to feel uncomfortable, she dropped out of her class. Until outside, Bu Fauziah called her and invited her into the office.

"Diana, I want to ask you something. Why did you move here?" Bu Fauziah started investigating.

Diana simply fell silent and shed tears.
