JUDITH

ADJOURNED

"In the second Wulan Chess and beyond, a schedule of Social Visit practices will be held in the field. That means outside the foundation complex." The announcement of a male teacher who was standing in front of the class was immediately greeted by cheers from the male students.

They are happy because they can all wash their eyes, can also get to know the City of Malang.

"The members of the group remain, right, sir?" Andreas asked as he raised his right hand.

"Yes, the members of the group that have been divided still remain, but for the visits outside, you will be combined. Two or three groups become one, because there are not many builders who can accompany you."

"Okay, sip!" Andreas called out silly, inviting laughter from his friends.

"Eh, shh, shhh ...." Fitus poking Andreas' arm.

"Are you a prankster?" Using the eastern accent, Andreas's way of speaking sounded funny. However, because it was used to the cuteness was only a common cuteness as well. Funny, but not fun enough to laugh.

"It looks like you're getting closer to Yudith." Fitus spoke without shrinking his voice, and his voice sank in the midst of the commotion.

Not confirming his best friend's statement, Andreas just raised his eyebrows while grinning sucks.

"Why don't you have a crush on Ratna. It's so much prettier than that."

"No want. Taste cannot be forced. If you want, just make it for you." Afterwards, Andreas was blown away, but soon shut up because the teacher knocked on the blackboard aloud to stop the riot.

Andreas leaned towards Fitus and whispered, "If you like Ratna, just take it?"

"Ah no! I won't be able to buy powder for him." Serious blotches with facial features made to weld. The two of them giggled like two girls gossiping.

Enthusiasm was also felt by the students when they heard the same announcement. They were happy to finally be able to see the outside world of the foundation complex.

"All will gather in the complex first, only after that leave accompanied by their respective builders. Remember, you should still be able to carry yourself. Don't act weird. Understood?"

"Understand, Mom!" All the students answered in unison.

Among the enthusiastic, it turns out that there are those who feel not interested in the activities that will be held in the field or can be said to plunge directly into the community.

"Ish, Sister Angelin once said that a visit to the outside that will be visited must be the slums where the beggars or scavengers live, we even have to go out into the streets to see how they work. Or even go to a crazy shelter." Ratna whispered to Lodi. His nose frowned like a foul smell, even his shoulders shuddered as well.

"Indeed. I've heard of upperclassmen, but they say the hospital is also included, anyway."

"The hospital is still mending."

"Once again, take the positives. We can wash our eyes. Yeah, 'no?"

Ratna's lips were licked for a moment, then smiled widely and her face brightened again. "Yes too, anyway."

Yudith just smiled a little when she saw her friends so excited, then returned to pursue her textbook.

Ririsma who was sitting behind Yudith poked the girl's back. When Yudith turned her head she leaned forward and whispered, "Eh, how did you get here? You can't go out in the morning with the kids. The schedule of the visit just started at nine."

"Maybe take the armature."

"Who do you know which angkot to ride?"

"Sssstt! Continue later." Sister Vero rebuked them.

The room that had been rowdy was immediately silent after Teacher knocked on the table several times.

The school hours went on as usual and were always complemented by rants and cynical gazes from some friends who disliked Yudith. Especially now that the girl had the privilege of living in the outer dormitory. They become more and more their babble.

"Pake science what the hell, huh, kid? It's very disappointing."

"What else if not the science of ngempe."

"Basic yes, the face-seeker."

"Sok alimnya you know, oh make it envy."

And there are many other obscure rants that can make the ears and heart hot.

But because he was used to it, Yudith did not consider it a problem. Like what they want to say. After all, whatever Yudith did would still be gossip, even if Yudith just sat quietly while reading a book.

During his time at school, Yudith did not feel any bad feeling at all. And when he came home his mood was fine, instead feeling happy because he could see the state of the city from behind the glass window of the foundation bus he was riding.

When he got to the front door of the dormitory and one of the seniors who opened the door for him had a sour face, even sneering instead of returning his greetings, Yudith was still fine.

However, the girl's feelings were no longer fine when she found all the officers throwing threateningly cynical gazes. No one wants to return his greetings.

The stomach that had felt very hungry was suddenly full by itself when it was about to eat, but did not find anything that could be eaten.

"If you're hungry, cook it" said Ambar, who went into the kitchen and saw Yudith, who was seen dumbstruck near a small table that was usually used to put food that was not eaten.

This time there was nothing. Did they intentionally spend it? Ah, nevermind. Yudith did not want to be so bad.

They silenced Yudith until the next day. Sister Rosa, who came home yesterday from the foundation office at ten o'clock, did not know about the attitude of her employees towards Yudith.

The girl who didn't talk much was trying to be ordinary. When you want to go to school, you still say good farewell even though it is not well responded.

Once at school, Yudith's feelings were much more jovial as she met her two best friends. However, when stepping on the third lesson hour suddenly the situation changed drastically.

The school office picket officer called Yudith, and now this is where the girl is. Trial at the school office.

"Actually this is what's the problem? Andreas and Yudith are both from Madiun. Their practical tasks are one team. Just meet on the street and greet each other, cook considered to have broken? Don't make it up!" Mr. Dimas, the Head of the Dormitory of the men's students, puts emphasis on almost every word spoken.

This thick-moustached, straight-haired man was conflicted with the overly tendentious Bu Cici in addressing the problems - clearly assuming Yudith to be guilty.

In this Headmaster's Office, Yudith and Andreas sat side by side with their heads slightly lowered. Before them were the Headmaster, the Head of the Dormitory of the son students, Sister Rosa, Mr. Heru, and Bu Cici, sitting in a semicircular formation.

Yudith and Andreas were tried because someone reported their interaction yesterday morning. Exactly someone complained to Bu Cici, with a little spice of course, then Bu Cici reported to the Headmaster.

Now it was clear to Yudith why they were colder and the gaze was always threatening.

"Their interactions are too much, Mr. Dimas. Like a dating guy!" Ms. Cici's face was red. It looked fierce and looked much more 'male-like' compared to the pure male Mr. Dimas. "It would be better if Yudith was returned to the foundation compound!"

"Can't!" Sister Rosa asserts. "Yudith is my responsibility. No one has the right to move him but me! Soon after the end of the month, I need his strength."

Yudith raised her face. Meant to look at Sister Rosa, but it was Mr. Heru's face that he first looked at. The faint smile that had been on the man's lips for Yudith was a sincere support. Yudith's heart was immediately relieved, because it had been afraid in case Mr. Heru felt disappointed in him.

"I won't consider this a big deal or a violation" the Principal's stern words made the mouth of Bu Cici who was about to speak instantly clenched. "Don't exaggerate. The rules do prohibit students from dating, but that does not mean they should not greet each other if they happen to cross paths. We are human beings who need to socialize."

The highest minister has already spoken. What else do they want? Although the heart gouged out because the chance to kick Yudith out of the dormitory failed, Ms. Cici could only remain silent. But threatening in your heart, if you think this is over, you are wrong.

The meeting was finally dissolved with good luck on the side of Yudith and Andreas.

Before returning to S, Andrew asked for time to speak with Yudith. Under the supervision of Ms. Cici's eyes which were like storing embers ready to flare up at any time, the two spoke while standing in the courtyard of the school office.

"Here, I give it back." Yudith thrust Andreas' jacket in neatly folded condition.

Andrew did not accept it. "Make you. If you miss me, just think of it as me."

Yudith snorted and was about to rebuke, but stopped when he found Andreas smiling mischievously while raising his eyebrows.

"Tsk, you're this. Already, go there."

Andreas chuckled lightly. "Yes, I'm back. Greetings to Sister Vero and Ririsma."

Yudith just nodded small. Glanced at Bu Cici at a glance, after which he left, returning to the classroom by a detour.

Although it had been considered finished, but the rumors circulating about Yudith and Andreas did not stop flowing. At school, Yudith was often a subject of gossip.

"Ish, hypocrite. Just in front of alim, but behind .. gatel." Ratna denounced without any intention to slow down the voice, even though the person she was referring to was also in the classroom.

"Yeee, the behavior of people who know, Non." Lodi, actually deliberately hardened the sound while glaring at Yudith

"Yes, too, yeah." Ratna snorted the circus then laughed mockingly.

"The ngempe, anyway. Oh, amit-amit." Lodi also sneered.

They had time to rest not out of class, deliberately staying only to bully Yudith who happened to be alone. And the more here, the news that is circulating is even more strange.

Some say that Andreas waited quietly for Yudith in front of the dormitory every morning, and drove her to the foundation bus in the parking lot. Even crazier, he said Andreas and Yudith often went out together for weekly nights.

The more seasoned it is the more delicious it is, but also the more unreasonable it is. How could Yudith be so free, even though living in a super tight dormitory whose hours in and out were recorded, was also restricted plus the Dorm Mother who was like a fierce dog. I was late for school and was interrogated a little. Where possible to get to.

"Lo, lo, on, yeah! There's no fatigue ngocehin such a useless thing!" Ririsma entered the classroom and slammed herself next to Yudith who was engrossed in reading a mystery novel.

"Like us dong, Ris. No business with you." Ratna replied while laughing sarcastically.

Ririsma screeched and then threw away her face. "Basic. Thick powder is like ondel-ondel, mouth is also covered." Only Judith could hear. Because he spoke very softly. Looking at Yudith who had no reaction at all, Ririsma immediately picked up the book she was reading. "This is also one of the strangest creatures I've ever met."

Yudith stared in the shade at one of the friends who was always loyal and ready to install a body for him.

"If you are tired also must be silent," he said indifferently.

"Don't take it lightly, dong. If it gets worse, you're also the hard one."

It's nice to have someone who claims to be a friend and really cares. Having only two friends like that for Judith was more than enough.

Yudith was lazy to respond to their rant, but that does not mean to consider trivial. Now surely Yudith would be more careful. Since Ms. Cici had warned that if she was caught again interacting with Andreas or any of the male students outside of schoolwork, there would be no third chance of her. There will be no tolerance. Despite Sister Rosa's opposition, Yudith would still be returned to the compound.

For Yudith, being returned to the compound was not a problem, but not by being expelled like one who had made a grave mistake.
