Chapter 20: Luna enrolls in school

Luna POV 🌙

Today I signed up for school with Father Firman. A young and handsome father. I liked him a lot. Sorry if I'm being disrespectful.

In the school office.

I faced a teacher in the office. Dad said that I am a transfer child from Surabaya who previously had a chance at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Surabaya.

The teacher gave me the form. He told me to fill out the form. "Please fill it in full."

I filled out the form for Dad to help. After completing the form, the teacher checked the Form I finished writing. Done in check, Dad said goodbye to the teacher. I could see the name of his chest there: Efendi,S.Pd.

After leaving for Mr. Efendi, me and Dad came out of the terrace of the school office. Dad took me to the market to buy a uniform.

I got a gray uniform for a set. After that I went home with my dad. At home, I rarely see Kinan again.

I'm sitting in the living room by myself, Dad's still in the room. I forgot to buy me an empty book. Books for my subjects later.

I went to see Dad in the room, he was sleeping. I got upset and went out. I'm still waiting for Dad to wake up to ask him for money to buy a book.

During the day, I saw the father praying sublimely. I am still lazy to pray. After the prayer, I told Dad to buy me a notebook. Dad decided to buy it later at a store near the house.

I concur. Between happy and unhappy, I still think how tomorrow I will go to school and start my new life there..?

In the afternoon I did not see Dad at home. Maybe he came out and bought me a book. I don't see Dad's motorcycle in front of the house anymore. Dad used to park his motorcycle on the front porch.

I miss my house in Surabaya. I refused to come to Jakarta. I live in Surabaya. I don't have any friends playing here.

I noticed Kinan was rarely in front of his house again like yesterday. Or take me to the river like yesterday. I'll ask Dad for permission to go to the river. May you allow.

Dad came and gave me a pack of textbooks. I was so happy to get that book. I said thank you to Dad.

I went to the kitchen to eat. At home, Dad cooked his rice and fish. I'm just waiting for food at the table. I've been used to it since I divorced Mom.

My relationship with my mother has long since broken up. I heard that Mom was married. But I didn't ask you to marry again. Dad's been happy enough to live with me at this Contract house.

Suddenly I got a chat from Kinan. The chat came around at nine p.m., as I sat alone in the room. Preparing for sleep.

Luna

Kinan ^^^

^^^ It is good, very good. I like to give him money. Now Maya lives in a big house, Mr. Doni's house. ^^^

Luna

Who's Mr Doni?

Kinan ^^^

^^^Pak Doni that,, ^^^

Clik.

The phone suddenly closed. Kinan did not continue his conversation anymore with me. I'm breathing lethargic.

My memory goes back to school. I have to prepare a lesson tomorrow. But I haven't got a lesson schedule yet.

I went to bed and covered myself with a blanket. I slept soundly.

I woke up in the morning and did not eat breakfast. Dad gave me ten thousand rupiah for my snacks. It tastes a little.

Dad drove me to fertilizer school six in the morning. I went to MAN 1 school in town. I got off the bike, salaman to Dad and stepped off to school.

I walked my feet to school with a bag of new books. I don't know where to go. I was confused, I then looked for the office where the teacher was gathering.

I read one room at a time. After reading the office, I go in and excuse me.

"Excuse me..!" I said to one of the teachers there. The teacher was wearing a black skullcap, a red shirt with yellow stripes and black pants.

"Wa'alaikum salam" he told me. I'm being embarrassed.

"Please enter Brother."

"Thank you." I walked closer to the teacher. "I'm sorry, I asked sir. Where's Class 2 MA?"

"Class 2 MA..? Just a minute!" The father walked slowly towards one of the Teachers who sat in front of the Computer.

He spoke for a while and walked over to me. "The class is in the middle, you try to see the name of the class in each room."

"Well sir." I replied.

Excuse me and go find class 2. I saw the female Teacher sitting in the Teacher's chair. Excuse me and go to that class.

"Excuse me,"

"Yes, who..?"

"Sorry Mom, I'm the new kid here. Is this really class 2 MA..?"

"Yes, that's right. You who?"

"I'm Luna Anggie. Transfer child from Surabaya. I listed here yesterday."

"So soon, you come with me to the office." Teacher took me to the office. I followed him from behind. The mother was looking for Mr. Efendi.

The father then came out of the room. The Master's mother spoke to Mr. Efendi for a moment and turned towards me.

"Okay, now you come with me to class." I followed that Teacher's Mother back to 2nd grade MA.

I walked slowly into that class. Classes in which there are several students who are sitting and writing lessons written on the board.

"Luna, you're sitting in an empty back seat."

I walked to the empty chair and sat down. "Luna, go!" the woman told me to go forward. I told him to introduce myself. I was told to stand in front of my friends.

I stood up and introduced myself. "My name is Luna Anggie. I'm from Surabaya. I'm a transfer student of MAN 1 Surabaya."

"Applause..!" said one of the students who stood alone among the existing students. I tried to get to know him but the student sat down immediately.

"Luna, you can sit down." Teacher told me to go back to my seat. I glanced to the left side where the child was sitting. I noticed he was looking at me.

He smiled at me, I smiled back."

The teacher explained the lesson to me and the other students. I am thankful to God that there is no problem. I met two girls in front of me. They named it Wati dah Diah.

I started writing the subjects quickly. Indonesian Lessons. Someone was told to read the lesson one by one until it reached me.

I read the writing on the board while standing. The writing is like this :

Synopsis:

A galang ceremony changed everything for Alfa. A mysterious creature called the Guard Portibi suddenly appears to haunt him. The powerful people scrambled to want Alfa to be their disciple. And, the most terrifying of all was that each of his sleep became a gamble of life. Something awaits Alpha in the dreamland.

The far reaches of Alfa brought it to the United States. He struggles as an illegal immigrant who wants to change his fate and status. One night, a person's presence triggers Alfa to confront her greatest fear. His dream world is harboring a big secret he never imagined. In the Yarlung Valley, Tibet, answers began to unfold.

***

After the lesson, the teacher closes the lesson with greetings. The teacher left the class. The kids go out one by one.

I walk in the back and someone snaps at me. "Hey, you're Luna Anggie..?"

"Yes. Who are you..?"

"I know, my name is Ali. Now we're friends." I shook Ali's hand as I walked. I walked slowly along with Ali.

"Sorry before, why are you following my steps..?"

"I want to be friends with you. I want us to walk together" Ali told me. Ali and I looked at each other. I turned to look ahead.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to be friends with you but I don't feel good walking with men. Not muhrim."

"Okay, sorry. I'll take another path" Ali told me. I saw Ali turn around and walk to the back. I walked towards the cooperative. I tried to stand while looking at the food sold.

"Hey, new boy!" a student greeted me. He was sitting on the front bench of the cooperative.

"Who are you..?"

"I'm Hadi. I'm in class with you. You didn't see me in class..?"

"I don't pay much attention to my friends, I focus on writing." I continued to Hadi.

I bought a small meal for me to eat without seeing Hadi who was sitting and chatting with his friend. I went while looking down in front of Hadi.

I was looking for a comfortable place to eat alone. I saw some children walking in front of me. Suddenly Ali came towards me and sat not far from me. He ate a snack in front of me.

"Ali, why are you here? You're not ashamed to be friends with women..?"

"No, I I'm not ashamed, I'm happy to be friends with a girl like you."

"Why? Is it because I look beautiful in front of you?"

"It could be, but it's not. I just want to know you. Want to know the real you."

"Did you not know any girl friends here before?"

"Know, but it doesn't make me curious." Ali continued to me.

"That means you like me. Rightly so?"

"Luna, please don't be arrogant. I just want to be friends with you, nothing else."

"In the cooperative many male friends. Why not join them..?"

"Later if I've been there to go to them. I still want to be with you." continued Ali.

"You're weird. You should be friends with Hadi who is in the cooperative."

"Who, Hadi?"

"Yes, Hadi. You know him, right?"

"Yes I know. He's our classmate. But I don't like it, she likes to join other class mates."

"Squeaky. Sorry I'm leaving first."

"Where are you going? It's none of your business!" I said to Ali. My attitude to Ali impressed jutek. I didn't want to be close to Ali at that time. I'm gonna find a friend of a kind, not Ali.

I'm looking for Wati and Diah, I don't see them. I then sat down below near the grassy ground. I ate a snack I hadn't finished eating.

I remember Dad, Dad didn't know his son was lonely. I don't know what will happen to me next. The bell rang, I had to get into the classroom before any Master came in.

As I entered the herd of men clapped and said,

"This is the rocking queen...!!" he said it was disrespectful. I look at them and act indifferently in front of them. One of them is Hadi. I just found out that the kid likes to act.

I then stood in the back. "God! How dare you talk to me like that. When have I ever swayed in front of you? Am I a tick-tock dancer what's that vital?"

"Yes..applause..!!" Just be it again. He had the other friends clap in front of me, and it was an insult to me.

"Heh, I can report you guys to the classroom teacher later!"

"But, fear..!!" said Hadi again. Less than ame is a child. Watch out until I'm really angry! I actually like to see Hadi like that. But I didn't say.

Ali suddenly came and brought a book of religious subjects. He gave some religious books to share with the students in the class.

Ali distributed them one by one to each of the students. I read the front cover of the book. TAJWID BOOK. This is a book that reads the Quran well. I waited for Ali to share the book with me.

After I said thank you to Ali. Ali left me without saying a word. I'm getting uncomfortable. Ali may feel disappointed because I was the one who had refused him to be his friend.

To Be Continue's.
