New Kids



Months later...


"Mak.. Nura left first huh..." Pamit Nura on Mother who is kneading cake dough in the kitchen.


The number of years passed, but Mother's face did not change much. There are only a few lines around the eyes. While the smile that had once adorned his face, until now still faithfully entrenched above the arch of the lips Mother.


"Be careful.it's in the basket there are a hundred more fritters yes, Nur," pointed Emak on the red basket that has become a friend of Nura's journey to and to school.


Now Nura is attending Tunas Bangsa High School. The same school that was occupied by his youngest brother, Tio.


The intelligent Tio managed to jump up the class twice. So that now his sister was precisely the older brother of Nura class. Next year, Tio will face graduation.


Against this reality, Nura actually felt a little envious. How not? Sister Eci, her brother number two always mengedeki Nura has a belet brain. Though, Tio only whose brains are too diluted, like a waterfall!


Therefore, Nura always warned Tio not to call herself Big Brother at school. Be finally friends Nura no one knows that he and Tio are actually brothers.


Physically, Nura and Tio are not very similar. Only the thick eyebrows they inherited from Mother alone might be what the brothers had in common.


"Yes, Mommy.." Sahut Nura soon.


"Tio's in first?" Ask mom tetiba.


"Udah, Mom. At the very same nebeng Heru, his friend," replied Nura back.


"Yes, Already. Be careful, Nur.." Mom's message came back.


This time Nura was just a short "hmm.." before finally taking the basket filled with fried foods that will be sold at school.


Yep. Since the fourth grade SD Nura helped Mother sell fried foods. He is not ashamed, although his friends often mendeki his with the name of Fried Children.


(In Sundanese, the word "fried' also means "ugly". That way, "Fried Kids" also means "Bad Kids")


My mom always taught me,


'Don't be ashamed unless you make a mistake or keep your manners in the company. Trading is not a shame, Nur. Trading it is one way to find halal reserves. It is more shameful that they who scavenge rizki in an halal way. They are the ones who should feel shame!' always the advice of my mother.


To get to his High School, Nura first had to ride the angkot once.


Once at the gate, Nura immediately covered the canteen. There, he greeted the canteen's mother named Bu Zai. Short for Bu Zainab.


"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.. Ms. Zai.." greet Nura kindly.


"Wa'alaikum hail warohmatullah. ehh, Nur. Bring the fry, huh? Just put it right away, Nur on that empty table. I want to make fried rice first, an order from Pak Mali," said Bu Zai.


Mr. Mali is a security guard at the school.


"Yes, Ma'am." said Nura.


After putting his fritters on the edge of the table, Nura immediately said goodbye to Bu Zai.


"Mothers.. Go to class first. The fried stuff, ma'am. Mother said, there are a hundred more," said Nura before saying goodbye.


"Yes, Neng. Oh yes, tomorrow the day after tomorrow there is a one hundred and fifty gorebgan order for an afternoon event in the roar of his neighbor Mother. Will you please take it to Mother Neng?" Mother Zai's message suddenly.


"Alhamdulillah.yeah, mother. Later Nura convey to Mom. Thanks to Bu Zai.." said Nura with a face sumringah.


"Together, Neng.."


Furthermore, Nura directly went to her class. The class 2IPA2.


As soon as he arrived at his table which was in the front row at the window, Nura immediately heard the chatter of her friends about the new child.


"He said from abroad. Yesterday the cave friends had a look, the child ganteeeeeng really! It's like Oppa-Oppa!" Seru Siska, one of Nura's classmates.


"Oppa what is it? Don't-don't his Oppa Upin Ipin again! Ahahaha!!" Seloroh Daniel's. Nura's classmate who was very happy to joke.


It was common practice that he was considered the cupid Son of Gorneg. So often the presence of Nura in class is not considered by his friends.


Yep. You could say, Nura is one of the most unpopular children in Tunas Bangsa High School. Maybe because the school there are mostly children who come from middle to upper families.


While the economic life of the Nura family has been directly visible from its action entrust the sale of fried foods to the canteen. He was considered poor in the eyes of his other friends.


"Hhhh.."


Nura let out a tired breath. Actually, he felt sad too. Because in this class. He has no friends to share his story with. His friend who was familiar when First class now went to the IPS department. Her name is Yana.


He hopes a little, hopefully New Children who will move to his class later have a different perspective, he said, unlike his friends in this class who looked at someone from his family's social status.


Nura cursed inwardly.


'The rich are their parents or grandmothers! It's not them! Try them told to make money until it can be as rich as their parents, not necessarily can also right?!' rutuk Nura without a sound.


While looking out the window, Nura returned to steal the conversation of friends in her class.


"Andanil! Don't joke around dong! This cave is serious!" Omel Siska to Daniel.


"Duh, Mom! Can't be joked about it, Lo, Sis! Cepet wrinkle later!" Daniel swore with a grin that was still adorned on his face.


"Damn Lo!" Bounce Siska and throw a book at Daniel.


"Ehh. That's my book!" Tegur Ayu, Siska's best friend.


"Ups.. sorry yes, Ay. that's it! KuDaniel!" Siska pointed to Daniel.


When Daniel was shrinking. He most disliked when Siska had mendekinya with the call of the hippo.


"Asem Lo, Ah, Sis! Main name led by just! Can't know!" Omel Danil returns to his desk.


In five minutes the bell will ring.


"Lha's your name, isn't it?" Seloroh Siska doesn't feel guilty.


"Yes. But kangan in embelin use the prefix 'ku' also dong! It's not good to know he's heard. Cute face kayak gini, yes time called hippo!" Rutuk Danil continues.


"Idiih.Lou face tuh mediocre, Nile. Where can you say handsome! If you want to see the handsome, you will be satisfied to see the new child who will come today to our class!" Siska said with confidence.


"Halah. aibuk very talk handsome ai new child. Not necessarily he's handsome, right? If he's ugly, what? I'm not sure you're still busy praising him!" Daniel won't lose.


"Already. have. do not fuss continue ah. You two always make a fuss when you meet. Get married there!" Comment Chika, the class prima donna, as well as Nura's arch-rival in capturing the class champion.


Chika is the son of the Regent in this region. With beautiful oaras, smart brain, and also humble/friendly attitude, it is not strange if Chika became the most popular student in Tunas Bangsa High School.


The line of students who liked Chika or became her secret admirer was very long. Not to mention students from other schools who already know the charm of Chika.


Because it just so happens that Chika also serves as the head of the cheerleading team at their school.


Curly hair along the waist, with a slight sweep of reddish color on his hair, as well as growing tall and smooth white skin, making his appearance when performing the action cheer look very charming.


Nura evens ering was envious of all the perfection that was on Chika. Unknowingly Nura immediately lowered her head and looked towards the brown skin of her hands.


'Hh. The skin is played hot-heated as I, where it can be white clean as Chika's skin. Moreover, he is like his frequent use of hand body lotion. While I, to be able to take a bath using lekboy bar soap, I am very grateful.' lamented Nura in the heart.


A moment later, Nura immediately reprimanded herself.


'Astaghfirullahal 'azhiim.. I just complained, huh? Duh.apologies, God.it's an involuntary reflex. Nura is grateful for Nur's current condition.' said Nura monologued in his heart.


Not long after, the entrance bell rang loudly. And all the students of Tunas Bangsa High School rushed into their respective classes.
