A male student of high stature, enters Zahra's classroom at the school.
Some other friends looked at the boy's students with amazed looks but also astonished, because they did not know what the male students needed to visit their class. Because, this student is from another class and his actions are outside of his usual habits.
The student's steps stopped right in front of Zahra's desk in front, but his position was located at the very end of the room.
Zahra, who realized that someone was standing in front of her, immediately diverted her attention from the chemistry book she was studying. Zahra complained and found the male student standing looking at her.
Their views met each other, but it only happened for a few seconds until both of them were aware of the surrounding situation.
"What's wrong?" zahra asked quite astonished. Obviously, he did not recognize this student. Zahra is busy looking for money and studying hard, so she lacks socialization, her friends can be counted with one hand.
"Lo whose name is Zahra?" The male student asked back and Zahra nodded.
"What's wrong?" zahra asked repeating the same question.
"Mom Tania told you the same about me?" ask the student.
Zahra thought for a moment. Ms. Tania-the headmaster of the school, did say she wanted to ask Zahra for help in teaching a student, because the student is the son of one of the school's donors who supports large funds for their school. In other words, the clever Zahra was asked to create a personal tutoring along with that student, so that the student could improve his grades.
As a student who received a scholarship from the school, Zahra could not refuse Bu Tania's request, he was chosen to teach the student and he also accepted it.
But, Zahra did not know who the student referred to Bu Tania, because he had not had time to say more to Zahra.
And the arrival of the male student before him, like the answer to Zahra's question about the figure of the student who will do the limp with him.
"Will he be the one with me?" inner Zahra.
"Him thinking!" said the male student who saw Zahra just kept quiet from now on.
Zahra lowered her head while twisting the tip of her headscarf because she did not know what else to say to this male student, because she could have guessed wrong, right?
"Okay, if Ms. Tania hasn't told you yet, let me tell you... Ms. Tania told me to join you after school," said the student who Zahra did not know what her name was.
"Yes, about that .. I heard it, but I---"
"Gue doesn't want to follow that bill!" cut the students fast.
Zahra swallowed her saliva with great difficulty. Actually, he never wanted to force people to follow the guidance of learning with him, only he was not tasty because he had agreed to the request of the principal. Bu Tania also asked him very-in order to persuade the student to do tutoring because this student is very difficult to conquer.
"You have to join the bill, said Bu Tania .." said Zahra in the lowest voice.
"Gue doesn't care!" the student shrugged his shoulders and wanted to get out of Zahra's presence.
"Wait!" prevent Zahra.
The student stopped his steps and without turning his head he spoke again.
"Gue came here just to say it's the same! So don't waste your energy trying to persuade me, because it won't work!"
Zahra. Pupus had hoped to convince the students to do the bill together. Why does Zahra have to be a student who receives a scholarship if she has to be asked for help like this? Teaching many children who have an interest in learning is much better, rather than persuading one student who does not seem interested in learning.
Zahra looked at the student's back who had walked away and out of her classroom.
"Well, what should I say to Ms Tania?" gerutu Zahra's.
Before long, my friend Zahra, Lala, approached and sat down next to Zahra.
"Do you want Ken to find you?" ask Lala.
"Ken?" asked Zahra.
"yes, that guy was Ken. The time you don't know! He's the biggest donor kid in this school, but yeah that's ..."
"Yes, how is it?" ask Zahra.
"Beautiful but a delinquent" whispered Lala in Zahra's ear.
Zahra was inexhaustible, his busyness in learning and making money, causing him not to recognize many friends in the school environment. For him the most important thing is how he can be the best then graduate with a satisfactory grade.
A few days have passed since Ken came to Zahra's class. Zahra had already told Bu Tania about Ken's disapproval following his tutelage. Ms. Tania assures that Zahra can persuade Ken, because if Ken continues to lose interest in learning and to stay in class, then their school will be affected by the loss of a permanent donor.
Zahra had to rack her brain, how she persuaded Ken who had clearly rejected the teaching.
Zahra ventured to Ken and sat down in front of him.
"Can you sit here, right?" greet Zahra smiling.
"So!" suhut Ken fast.
"But the other table is full." said Zahra still with the same smile, he must have extra patience to face this student named Ken.
Ken clucked, but did not drive away Zahra who had begun to devour his food cuefully in front of Ken.
"I see you don't have any friends" Zahra began.
Hearing that, Ken shifted his attention from the phone screen to look at Zahra. Zahra's words were enough to offend him and ignite his emotions.
"It's none of your business!" ken began to move because he did not like the attitude of Zahra who was pretentious to him.
"I want to be your friend!" zahra pede.
Ken smiled disdainfully. "Gue doesn't need a theme!" he said while moving away.
Zahra let out a long sigh, perhaps persuading Ken was indeed her biggest test, more than working on semester replay matters.
Almost a month passed, Zahra continued to approach Ken with the intention of persuading Ken to study, but the man remained adamant about his stance. Zahra grew tired and wanted to give up, she intended to tell Bu Tania this and asked Bu Tania to find another scholarship student who might be able to persuade Ken.
After school, Zahra wanted to go home as usual, she used to ride public transport and wait by the side of the road to stop the transfortation.
However, a car that is quite luxurious actually pulled over near him. Out of it came a middle-aged man who still looked handsome and dashing at his very mature age.
"You, Zahra?" ask the man in his baritone voice.
Zahra nodded but with a confused face that emanated clearly.
"Include, I'm Bagas. Ken's dad."
Zahra was flabbergasted and she immediately welcomed the man's helping hand and endured it with reverence.
"What's up, sir?" zahra asked nervously.
"We'll talk at the cafe, let's not get hot in here. How's it?" Bagas pointed to a nearby Cafe, even located as straight as they stood, so there is no need to cross the road to get to the cafe.
Zahra nodded and started walking slowly towards the cafe.
"What do you want to order, son?" asked Bagas politely, when they were sitting in the cafe.
"Anything, sir."
Small smiling bagas. "Don't call me 'Sir', just call 'Om. You're Ken's friend, "he said.
Zahra nodded, she still had no idea what reason Bagas had met her specifically like this.
Bagas ordered fruit juices and snacks for the two of them because Zahra refused when offered lunch. Then Bagas opened his voice to say to the little girl in front of him.
"Look, Om knows that you were the one Mother Tania asked to teach Ken. Ken's actually smart, only he's stubborn and hard to direct."
"I've given up on persuading Ken, Om!" I'm Zahra straight to the point.
Small smiling bagas. "Om very much asking for help with you personally ... Ken is the only Om child, if he does not go to class or until he does not graduate school again, Om will be very disappointed in Om himself who can not educate Ken well." he explained.
"Not going to school again?" asked Zahra with round eyes.
"Yes, Ken never graduated in Junior High, so Om is afraid he repeats the same mistake when High School, so Om beg your help."
Zahra brushed her hand under the table, Bagas' words were quite burdened because the man begged her like this for Ken's sake.
"Okay Om, I'll try to persuade Ken again."
"Thank you, son. If you manage to persuade Ken and he wants to study until the High School period is over, instead ... Om will give you a scholarship to go to college."
Zahra smiled wryly with the offer Bagas gave her, feeling that college was indeed a dream for her. But persuading the cold and stubborn Ken? What can?
...Next?...
