My Sacrifice is worthless

The Ita Pov School

🍒🍒🍒

"Wow, put on a singing show," I laughed at the same time.

"Yes, I want to continue working. Good school, be smarter. Haha ...," the laughter of Fitri that I have always missed.

"Yes, you too? Keep health. Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Fitri.

Hopefully, in his new workplace, father and grandmother are not what they used to be. Every month comes, just ask for more parts than Fitri. Sad and sorry, of course, to see that. However, Fitri deserves to be happy. Half his age has been used to make us happy, especially father and grandmother. Sometimes I don't understand how my parents think.

The student orientation period is over.

My school schedule is from 07.30 to 15.00 Wib, except Friday and Saturday.

Everything is under the responsibility of Tok Bah. From tuition, pocket money and even other necessities. Still I set aside little by little to give to grandma. I want to ease Fitri's burden.

Apparently, not far from Tok Bah's house there is a classmate named Lia. We went to school and went home together.

Without feeling, a semester I have passed with a tortuous problem. Living in your house, we must be smart to carry ourselves. Should be able to put myself, I do not want the incident at home bi Utin used to repeat itself.

This first semester, I was ranked third grade. Thank God, my efforts have not been in vain. Hopefully I can keep it in the next semester.

In addition to friends with Indah, Dini and Widya. I'm also good friends with some friends, namely Feni and Lia. My two friends are different from other girls. A little badung and talkin' ceplas-celos. By himself.

Today, the teacher who used to teach us mandarin couldn't get in. Automatic empty class and rowdy friends as they please. Lia and Feni intend to skip school, jumping over the back fence of the school that is far from the reach of the security guard. They're getting ready to leave.

"Come, Ta. There are no teachers either so it's okay to skip school and get bored in class" asked Feni, my baddest friend.

"I'm scared, Fen. Afraid caught. It's not good for Tok Bah and Nek Neng if there's a case at school" I refused Feni.

"Yes Ta, is it okay this once, yuk? We're through the back fence of the school, "take Lia again.

"Lia, if you get caught by the same security guard, your aunt is called to school, what,? I asked Lia.

"Ah, this is you, Ta. Nawty. Yes already. Let me be with Lia. I have a cigarette in my bag, to gather with others. Sure you're not coming, Ta?" ask Feni again.

"No Fen, I'm afraid that I'll have to skip," I refused, shaking my head.

"That's really you, Ta? It's just fear. Nawty. I'm leaving, watch out for the security guard. Bhay," said Feni while pulling Lia's hand.

I could only take a deep breath and shake my head at the behavior of these two friends. I hope they don't get caught by the school guards.

The next day, the class was crowded with news of two 1Ap2 students being caught by the security guard for skipping school. I can guess who my friends mean. Definitely Feni and Lia.

Suddenly, Lia walked into the classroom and hugged me while crying.

"Ita, I caught a security guard yesterday with Feni" he said

"And I told you, don't go. You don't want to beat me up,"

"Uncle your Aunt, why?" many wonder.

"I don't dare, Ta. I could be asked to go home to my village. Just ask Tok Bah for help, will you?"

"I don't know if I haven't tried. After school, you go home. Talk directly to Tok Bah, how?"

"Alright, Ta. Thank you, Ta,"

"Ah, you. Not yet know what Tok Bah answers, have said thank you," I said laughing.

"Yes, huh?" lia murmured while scratching her head.

"Well, where's Feni?" I asked Lia.

"What's wrong with me?" suddenly Feni replied from behind us.

"I've been here since, sitting here watching the drama you two, not realising? I'm afraid of you, Lia," continued Feni with a mocking laugh.

"You're used to making cases, I'm new this time, '" murmured Lia did not accept.

"At best at the lecture later at home. Don't you go on that cry lebay? Kayak at the girlfriend's house just cry bombay," feni's chirp relaxed.

"For a long time, I've been hanging out with both of you. Go there, later not have time," I said.

Finally, the three of us laughed together They were bad, but to me friends were everything to share their joys and sorrows. Bad friends, back to ourselves.

The afternoon after school, Lia and I ventured to talk to Tok Bah over the problems Lia was facing.

"Tok Bah's. Nih Lia wants to talk," I said slowly.

"Yes. What's the matter Lia?" asked Tok Bah without looking, because he was busy fixing the fishing line.

"This, Tok Bah. Tomorrow, is Tuesday Tok Bah just not going to school for a minute?" ask Lia scared.

"What's wrong? Any invitations from the school? You got the invitation too? Can she represent two children?" tanya tok Bah plain.

"No, Tok Bah. Lia was called by the school, because she was making a case at school" Lia replied.

"Cases? You too, Ta?"

"That's not Tok Bah, where Ita dares," I replied.

"Tok Bah can't, Lia. Tomorrow we have to go to the field to distribute basic food to the people affected by the flood" explained Tok Bah.

"Well, how's dong Tok Bah?" lia whinek.

"Ask your Uncle or your Aunt, will you, Lia? Tok Bah really can't," declined the delicate Tok Bah.

We both just nodded in agreement. I took Lia to my room.

"There's no other idea, Ta?"

"No Lia, the only way, yes you talk to your Uncle and Aunt,"

"I don't dare. If you ask Ustad for help, will you?" ask Lia doubtfully.

"Ustad, our surau priest," I asked not to believe Lia's idea.

"Yes, Ustad Idris. Would you like me to go to her house?" refer Lia.

I had to follow Lia's request, before hearing another thousand of her seduction moves. We headed straight to Idris's house to ask for his help. Outside of our expectations, Idris agrees to come to school tomorrow, at 09:00 a.m. Lia could breathe a sigh of relief and smile back could be relieved of her problem.
