Reality is Not as Beautiful as Expectation

Change in form

Most people will probably go home right after school. But not with me, sometimes I always go to the dock to look around the boat while contemplating my fate.

I often think, whether it's thinking about family problems or other things.

If you ask about parents, honestly I am tired of listening to their words that always discuss about money.

Yes, they always fuss over money matters. Even so without money, my father often borrowed money to his parents, alias to my grandmother and grandfather.

Unknowingly, my tears were dripping. There's actually one thing that makes me cry, which is that I want to have a lot of friends. I want people to respect me even if I don't have a pretty face.

Lucky for people who have a beautiful face, he must enjoy life easily.

With the current position, I intend to drop into the sea, so that I do not think about the burden anymore.

I stood up and walked straight ahead. Somehow my thoughts were so messed up today, there were even voices telling me to end my life.

The byurrr!

I drowned into the sea. Maybe in a few minutes, I'll be dead.

"Elena!"

I heard a voice calling to me. I don't know who it is, but I hope he doesn't help me.

...****************...

The crane! The crane!

"Alena, wake!" scream someone.

Spontaneously I opened my eyes. I was shocked when someone woke me up.

"Hurry to take a shower, finish that breakfast."

I'm still sculpting, because I don't know where this is. All I remember is that I drowned in the sea. But why am I still alive?

"Not even dumb."

I looked at that guy. "You who?"

That guy just laughed. "Morning is a joke."

I was confused because I didn't know that person at all.

"Quick shower! oh yes, later Mamah aja who deliver to your new school," he said, then he out of the room.

What's the matter? why does he call himself Mamah?

I looked around. Seeing the state of this room, makes me sure that this is a rich man's house.

Is my desire to be rich granted? if this happens, maybe my face will also turn beautiful.

I walked towards the big mirror and how surprised I was when I saw myself.

Well-favoured.

That's the word that defines me right now. Maybe I'm very confident, but the truth is that I'm beautiful now.

Cklek!

The one who called himself Mamah came up to me again.

"Alena, what's wrong with you? You already said a sneak, but you even smile while looking at the mirror."

Alena's? so my name changed to Alena?

"Yes. Alena is taking a shower now" I said.

Skips

I enjoyed breakfast with the two people who called themselves Mamah and Papah.

Okay, from now on I have to forget my old life and focus on my new life. From now on my name is Alena, not Elena. And from today on, the two people I am now with will be considered my parents.

"Well, let Mamah just take Alena to school" said Mamah.

"Yes, but take the car carefully" Papah said.

"Yes, Pah."

Suddenly, Papah gave me something. "This is a new phone for you. But remember, don't lose the phone again." Then, I just nodded affirming Papah's words.

...****************...

I don't know if it's a dream or not, but Elena sure likes it.

"Well, where's my new school?."

"You're a freak. You said you wanted to go to Merdeka High School."

What kind of coincidence is this? I could go to that school again. I really wanted to move out of a school that was partly bully.

"Well, I don't want to go to school there."

"You've listed it there, you have to move again."

I fell silent and hoped everything would be okay. I hope people don't make fun of me anymore.

"Why did you change your mind? you yourself want to go to school there."

"I'm afraid of being bullied, because there's a rumor that says that the school is a lot of bullies."

"You just calm down. If you are bullied, then tell Mamah to Papah."

After a long distance, Elena finally arrived at her school.

Elena and her mother went to the teacher's room. Along the way, many people stared at him.

Elena was scared by their gaze. Maybe also because he was often bullied, so he felt scared.

"Why are you taking the road?"

"I'm ashamed. I'm not pretty."

"What the hell are you talking about. You're beautiful Alena. Lookie! people are watching you because they're fascinated with you."

Elena looked around, then the people smiled at Elena. For a second, Elena realized that she was now a beautiful woman.

"So this is what it's like to be a beautiful person" Elena said.

...****************...

Elena entered the class with her homeroom teacher. To be honest he was a little afraid, because he was in his class, namely class X MIPA 1.

The classroom guardian told his students that there were new students. "Alena, please introduce yourself" he ordered.

"Good morning everyone. My name is Alena."

"Hallo Alena" said several male students.

"Alena please sit in an empty seat" the homeroom teacher pointed to the seat next to Talitha.

Elena walked towards Talitha. He sat down next to Talitha.

While sitting down, all eyes were on Elena. Finally he looked down because he was a little awkward.

"Your name is Alena?" ask Talitha. Then, Elena simply nodded.

"Oh yes! know my name"

"Talitha," I said.

"I can tell" wondered Talitha.

Elena was confused as to what to answer, she should not have mentioned Talitha by name.

"Are you definitely one of my followers?" ask Talitha. Then, Elena simply nodded.

"Btw, I heard he said a student committed suicide. What do you think he is?" elena asked, because she wanted to know how Talitha would react to Elena killing herself.

"I don't know, because I'm also a new student at this school. So I don't really know her true nature" Talitha explained.

True also what Talitha said, it is only natural that he said so. Elena should have asked the others about their opinion of Elena.

"But I'm sure that he's a good person, it's only a minus that he doesn't get along with friends" Talitha said suddenly.

"He didn't get along probably for a reason."

"Yes, at that time he had said that he was bullied by several friends in the class" Talitha said.

It turned out that Talitha was indeed a good person, as evidenced by her words which were exactly what Elena had told her back then.
