Hearts Agility

That night after her meeting with Alan, Lika was unable to sleep. His mind kept on recalling every word Alan said, was Lika's action really stupidity? Did Lika lie to her own feelings?

Lika got up from her sleep, grabbed her phone and started pressing the button mbok Narti number, yes, only mbok Narti who currently still can she call.

"Hello..."

"Hello mbok Narti..ini Lika, use a new number...take Narti healthy?"

"Healthy mbak Lika..."

"Mbok..healthy kids right? How do they learn? Are they having trouble learning?" Ask Lika streak.

"So healthy children mbak..just now it looks a bit quiet.since Mama came home from the hospital..." Mbok Narti.

"Ooo...so Mama has returned yes mbok..sukurlah..i am happy..finally they can unite..." Lika Lirih said, her heart started to ache.

Actually mbok Narti is because new people, so do not know their problems, he just conveyed in accordance with his point of view.

"But.Sarah's mother slept in the guest room..."

"Yes that right now.later it can change..pulse..please take care of the children yes.I titip them the same mbok..."

"Yes mbak.mbak Lika also yes.send greetings mbok with your grandmother..."

"Good mbok..thank you..."

For some reason tonight Lika's heart became sad, she was glad Sarah returned to her family, but on the other hand, her heart seemed to be sliced open. Is he jealous? In a hurry, she brushed off that feeling.

'It turns out they've been united into one family again.I hope you find your happiness Mr. Ricky...' Mumbled Lika in the heart.

************

From the window of the room, again Lika saw the child in the law sunbathing in the middle of the field, he was Alex 11th grade student, Alex was indeed known to be naughty and often troublemaking at school, even teachers often punish him, but it seems that punishment does not deter him.

Slowly Lika opened the door of her room, and walked over to Alex who was still standing in his place.

"Hi Alex...Are you not bored almost every day in the sun here?" Ask Lika. Alex looked at Lika sharply, as if he did not like to be questioned.

"It's normal, ma'am..now you know? Because of the new teacher?" Alex asked back.

"Have known.many teachers have told you..." Lika Sahut.

"Why do you care about me.All teachers are happy I'm in the law.so they have a job..." Said Alex.

"But I don't like that you're being punished.But this morning Mr. Ferry said you fought with Anton, your classmate.Why?"

"The mouth is nosy..."

"Why pencil?"

"She said I was a bastard because my mother had no husband..."

Lika was silent, suddenly she remembered Nando who had also fought because he was bullied by his classmates.

"Alex.follow mom for a second..."

"Where's Ma? I'm under the law.if you interfere, you'll get in trouble..." Answer Alex.

"Wouldn't..you forgot mom was a BK teacher at this school? So you also have the authority to organize students here.now quickly follow mom...!" Firm Lika. Then Alek followed Lika into his room.

"Now sit down.this is mineral water, drink it first.so that your mind is calm..." Said Lika.

"Thank you, ma'am..."

"Now tell mom where your house is..."

"What's Mom for...?"

"Yes, I just want to play..acquaintance with your mother.Why can't I?" Ask Lika.

"Bo..can be ma'am..."

"Okay..this afternoon.we go home together..."

"Yes Mom..."

"But Ma'am.I have not finished in the law.later I was scolded by Mr. Agus..."

"Come in.mom's responsible if you're upset..."

With hesitation Alex stepped away towards his class.

Lika took a deep breath, For some reason seeing Flex like that, she was so sorry.

Not long after, the door of Lika's room opened, Pak Agus was already standing before her.

"Mom Lika.. Why did you allow Alex to enter the classroom? He's being punished by me for doing something again..." Ask Mr. Agus with a sharp look.

"Why did you punish him during the lesson? Is education not a student's right?" Lika asked back.

"Ah..ibu does not understand.mom is new here..yet know anyone..I tell you.the child is dangerous, he often fights, even hurt friends..." Obviously, Mr. Agus.

"Do you know the reason why Agus...?"

"I know.just because it's a little disturbed by his friend, his anger can explode..."

"A little disturbed? That's bully's name sir..is the case of bullying allowed in this school? Not looking from the student's point of view in the bully?" Ask Lika.

"Mother Lika is too idealistic.sorry, I have to go back to class..." Said Mr. Agus who immediately turned around and left the room.

***********

That afternoon after school, Lika stepped quickly to the school lobby, making arrangements with Alex to visit her home.

From the end of the classroom hallway, Alex, who was thin and tall, ran over to Lika.

"You're ready Lex...what are you riding on? Miss Lika take a bike..." Said Lika who was walking beside Alex, amidst the crowd of students who had just returned home from school.

"Mother's motorbike.Bareng me only Mom..later home I deliver..." Rose Alex.

"Mom also.lagian not long anyway.."

They immediately headed for Alex's residence, which was not far from school. Alex's house looks simple, in a minimalist housing with type 45.

A woman, about 45 years old, came out from behind her door.

"Have you come home, son...?" Ask Alex's Mom. Alex kissed his mother's hand immediately. Lika gasps, Alex is known to fight in class, but at home she is so polite with her parents.

"This is Ms. Lika, Alex's teacher..." Said Alex. They quickly entered and sat in Alex's living room.

"Wah..tumben nih there are teachers who visit here...before never you know..ibu Lika new teacher yes in school?" Ask Alex's mother.

"Yes Ma'am..I am a new teacher..want to know Alex more deeply...Well, are you two just living together in this house?" Lika asked back.

"Yes Ma'am.I took care of Alex since the baby was alone.His father Alex died when Alex was still in the womb.Pity Alex, have never known the figure of his father..." Alex's mother's story with teary eyes. Alex just looked down.

Lika is stunned, it turns out that Alex is not an illegitimate child whom her friends destroy. His father died while Alex was in the womb.

"Mom...now what's mom's job?" Ask Lika again.

"I'm trying to sell cakes, some I put in stores, some I sell online.I never work outside Bu. Alex's love when his mother left him to work..." Reveal Alek's mother. Lika Nodded her head.

"All right, ma'am.I think it's enough, I beg you to leave...Alex.yuk..." Lika said as she got up from her seat. Alex also stood up and walked out of the house followed by his mother.

"Mom...Alex took Bu Lika's bike to school..." Said Alex. His mother just nodded her head.

Then Alex hugged Lika on the bike to go back to school.

"Alex.your mother loves you very much.you do not disappoint her with your easy emotional actions..." Lika said in the middle of the journey.

"But Ma'am, I don't want to be insulted..."

"You remember the proverb..dog barking caravan passed? If you change your attitude.other people will also appreciate you.so ..do not listen to all the other people's negative chatter about you..keep being kind.then others will also be condescending to you...gotcha?"

"Understand Ms...trthank you.trthank you Ms. Lika..."
