I'm the Unacknowledged

Punishment

Satisfied to tell a story in front of the center of the late wife who was very loved, finally Tuan Jaya moved from her place. The sun is rising. The worms in her stomach started screaming. Instantly, Tuan Jaya also remembered the message of her mother-in-law.

"We're home now, Nir. Looks like the sun is starting to do its job" said Mr. Jaya.

"Okay, sir," said Mr. Munir.

The two old men again walked together up the hill of memory.

Arriving at the top of Memories hill, Mr. Jaya stopped his steps. For a moment, he stared at the Acacia tree. The old tree bears a silent witness to her love story with the woman who has given birth to an heir.

Mr. Jaya's smile also expands when he sees a couple of lovers who are sitting on a park bench. For a moment, his forehead frowned when he saw the body posture of the hijab woman. It seemed, he was no stranger to the shape of the woman's body. However, just as Mr. Jaya was about to approach them, suddenly his phone rang.

"Bram?" muttered Tuan Jaya when he saw the name of the caller.

Tuan Jaya paused her intention to greet the couple. He went back down the hill and picked up the phone from his daughter-in-law.

On a long bench on a hill of memories.

"Already, Gin. Don't think too much. Mas sure if the attitude of the Princess is only a moment," said Heru.

"But Gintan is worried that the Princess' tomboyish attitude will carry over until she grows up, Mas" complained Gintani.

"God willing not. After all, the Princess has a meek mother like you, Gin. You were the first model he saw. Mas sure, the more mature Princess, she will imitate your nature and attitude. Believe the same Mas," said Heru, trying to calm Gintani's heart.

"Hopefully, Mas" replied Gintani.

"By the way, have you investigated who gave me the toy?" ask Heru.

Gintani shook his head. "No, Mas. Gintan did not have time to investigate into the toy store anymore. Lately, Gintan's work is so much," replied Gintani.

"Hmm, yes already .. maybe that person only likes Princess only, Gin. Forget it, he never saw the Princess again, did he?" ask Heru.

Gintani nodded his head.

"It's noon, we'd better go home. Pity also the Princess was left alone at home," continued Heru.

"Hmm, the Princess is fun to play in the park with her friends," replied Gintani.

"Only?" asked Heru who immediately put on an anxious look.

Gintani nodded his head.

"Geez, Gin. Don't take it too far. She is worried about the safety of the princess. Later, if something happens to the Princess, how about Gin?" said Heru, worried.

"Already, Mas. The princess is big. He can take care of himself" said Gintani.

"Hmm hopefully," said Heru.

Somewhere else.

Miki continued flipping through the package books that the class teacher gave her. The task of making a family pedigree, still continues to roar clearly in the ear. If he could, Miki would definitely choose another task. No matter how difficult his task was, he would definitely try hard to work on it. However, family tree? Ah, it feels like Miki's head is about to break thinking about the task.

For a moment, Miki laid down her body on the bed. It felt, he wanted to ask the person he considered papa to help with the task given by the teacher. However, Miki's sense of prestige was too great. In the end, he would rather ignore his duties.

Next day.

"Please collect your duties!" exclaim Mr. Candra.

Mr. Candra Wicaksana, 5th grade teacher who upholds discipline in school. In addition to the class teacher, he also served as student coach at the school. Therefore, he was very disciplined and always on time to enter the class. He disliked the students who were trifling time and tasks the most. For Mr. Candra, students who do not appreciate the time and underestimate the tasks given, they are the forerunner of irresponsible people.

Mr. Candra's forehead frowned when he found Miki sitting glued to his seat.

Tumben the boy is not ahead. Did he not do his job? Butwhy? Hasn't he never been absent for a task? Monologue Mr. Candra in his heart.

All of the students who had gathered assignments, returned to their respective benches. After that, Mr. Candra walked forward to deliver the materials.

"Well kids, the material we're going to talk about today is about ecosystems. Does anyone know what an ecosystem is?" lure Mr. Candra to his protege.

Instantly the atmosphere became boisterous. The students begin to find out about the ecosystem in their respective package books.

Miki knew exactly about the material that was being presented. However, he refused to answer. His reticent attitude made him reluctant to make a sound.

"Nobody knows what an ecosystem is?" ask Mr. Candra again. "Ish, didn't you guys study last night? So, what are you guys doing? Just watching TV? Just playing? Just play HP?" bashful Mr. Candra who started to feel upset because no one answered her question.

"Hhh ..." Mr. Candra sighed. "Well, I'll explain what an ecosystem is. Please note!" his orders.

Back the students were busy opening books and preparing balpoin. Only Miki was still seen sitting leaning back by folding both her hands in front of her chest.

"Ecosystem is an ecological system formed by the inseparable reciprocal relationship between living things and their environment" said Mr. Candra while walking back and forth in front of the class.

Mr. Candra's gaze was locked to Miki's attitude which was just silent. A moment later, Mr. Candra approached her desk and checked the student's assignment book one by one. His forehead frowned when he did not see Miki's name in the collected book cover. Mr. Candra was able to conclude that Miki did not do the task.

Mr. Candra turned her back. "Miki, ahead!" tell Mr. Candra.

Miki took a deep breath. Hmm, this is the time, inner Miki. With a steady step, Miki then walked over to his homeroom teacher.

"Are you doing your job?" ask Mr. Candra

"No" Miki insisted.

"Why?" Investigate Mr. Candra.

"I have no interest in working on it" Miki replied.

Mr. Candra frowned. He did not understand Miki's answer.

"Doing the task given by the teacher as a form of student responsibility. If you don't do it, it means you're not responsible for your work" Mr. Candra said.

"I know," Miki replied.

"Lantas, why don't you do it?" Back Mr. Candra asked.

"I told you, I'm not interested in doing it. You can give me any task. Not with that one job!" Now, Miki answered her teacher's question at length.

"Why? Don't you have a family?" ask Mr. Candra again.

Miki quiet. He had absolutely no intention of answering his teacher's question.

"A, Miki. Everyone must have a family. Mom and dad. It is impossible if you were born from a stone, hehehe," said Mr. Candra while chuckling.

Both of Miki's hands clenched over hearing a joke that she did not expect at all. Fortunately, he was still able to master his emotions.

"Mother doesn't have to insult me like that. I have the right to do whatever I like. If you want to sanction me, please! But you have no right to insult me!" firmly Miki who instantly made Mr. Candra's face reddened.

Mr. Candra herself did not realize that Miki would slap her with a scathing remark. He did not expect that his joke would get a huge reply from the little boy.

For a moment, Mr. Candra sighed. "Alright, Miki. Since you didn't follow any of the school's rules, I'll give you a sanction. As the law, please clean the bathroom of the students in this school!" mr. Candra's orders.

Without saying much, Miki stepped outside the classroom.
