[POV Ricky] Problems at School

I think, by sending my children in a good and prestigious place can make them happy and accomplished.

But it was the opposite, they turned out to be intolerant to attend school lessons, even many times I had to face Mr. Johan, the headmaster, the school, only the problem of poor grades and the condition of their association that now tends to be closed in addition to the problem of school delays that often occur, because I was so busy to the difficulty of arranging time to pick them up..

Kezia and Nando become shy individuals, they often get less good treatment from their friends, and worse, Nando threatened not to go to class because he got the last order in his class.

Until that day when the class report was distributed, again I got a special call from the homeroom and the principal.

"Can this school help my children??" I asked Mr. Johan.

"It's not like that, sir.they just need special handling...they have difficulty receiving lessons at this school.especially Nando, who until now still can not memorize letters..." Obviously Mr. Johan.

I admit, lately I have been very busy taking care of my projects, so much time, especially my children's study time.

"So how now? Should I just move them to another school that's more suitable for them??" Ask again.

"Ricky Sir, because Nando is only in 1st grade, we will still raise him to 2nd grade, it just so happens that in this new school year there will be a new teacher who will be the 2nd homeroom teacher...hopefully Nando will develop and fit in with this new teacher..." Obviously Mr. Johan.

"Whoever the teacher I do not care.important my son is noticed.Free I pay a lot of tuition if the results are not satisfactory!!" My murmur.

When I finished taking the children's learning, I spilled my frustration on Kezia and Nando. My mind is completely fucked.

"Kezia's...Nando..!"'s...!"

"Yes Pa..." Sahut them simultaneously.

"You don't think Papa's tired of going back and forth to school just because of you???!!!" I said loudly. They're bowing.

"Sorry Pa..." Kezia lirih.

"How difficult is it that you learn well so that the results of learning are not this bad? Papa is ashamed to know!!" My hardik. They started crying.

"That's Pa. I'm often in the same bed as friends..." Nando lirih.

"At what katain?"

"Say them I'm a stupid kid.and..."

"And what?" Cut me quick.

"And I don't have a mother..." Answer again while crying.

"True Pa.. I also like katain.said I was stupid and always late for school because I don't have a Mama..." Added Kezia.

"Yes God....Mama again....Mama again..is it so important that there is a Mama among you?? Didn't you??"

They were silent without daring to argue anymore. As a Papa, when I felt so useless, I failed to make my two children happy.

I ended up crying too, it was hard to be a single parent, but my heart was closed to anyone, it was the consequence of a divorce.

**********

To atone for my guilt for my two children, during the class break I took them on vacation to the top.

I hope that I and my children will be able to forget our problems for a moment.

"Pa...until when will we stay here?" Ask Kezia.

"Until you're bored...." My answer.

"But what about Papa's job??"

"Papa's been on leave for a few days.you take it easy..."

While we were silent with each other's thoughts, Nando still seemed engrossed in watching his favorite cartoon movie.

"Pa..." Kezia lirih.

"Yes, son..."

"If Papa does not love Mama Sarah anymore.it's okay if Papa is looking for a new Mama...Papa can marry again..." Kezia.

For a moment when I was stunned to hear my daughter's words, it came to my mind that never to marry again, my heart was completely closed.

"Kezia...wasn't Kezia afraid of stepmom?" My toot.

"No Pa. Asal Papa is happy..."

"No dear...Papa will not marry again.Papa's love is only for Kezia and Nando only..." My answer.

By the time the holidays were almost over, there were still a few days for my children to go to school. That I used to take care of my project that had been abandoned, I began to go out of town, reviewing and starting to open new land again, while the land in Bandung, I entrusted while on Bayu.

But due to busy activities and busy schedules, in addition I had to finish homework, which made me sleep too late, again I was late to take my children to school.

Somehow they look rushed and almost misfortune.

The first day of this semester is like this.

But there was something strange on Nando's face when I picked him and his brother up on the way home from school. The once gloomy and reserved face suddenly brightened and was full of smiles.

"Pa.tau not really.tadi tuh there is a new teacher mother..the person is good deh Pa...when I was married because it was too late, and friends nyorakin me...I'm in the same martial arts as the teacher's mother..." Nando's story is happy.

"Yes?"

"Yes Pa. I became the spirit of learning deh..." Connect Nando.

"What about Do?" Ask Kezia curiously.

"Hehehe..beauty Mama anyway.but this Teacher is also beautiful..." Nando's Sahut.

"Hmm...Who is Nando? Looks like Papa should thank him for making Papa's son happy today..." My toot.

"His mother's name is Lika Pa...." Sahut Nando enthusiastic.
