Meet again

"The name also lives:)"

"Agatha cepet can not really? Women are too weak."

I just smiled faintly hearing the cynical sentence in Mama. It is not slow or less quickly blame the distance between the dining room and the kitchen is far. Since dawn I have been awakened by Mama in an inhumane way. Dousing the ice water on my body that was still sleeping caused my bed and sprai to get soaked. Even by calling with my name, I would wake up.

I have to be a maid if I want to stay here. Oh my God what kind of rule is this.

I brought the pancakes I made in front of Hana. The girl just looked at me flat. The girl was neat with her uniform while I only wore a gray skirt with the top of my hair t-shirt was still a mess.

"From now on you have to clean the house, cook, wash, sweep, mop from the first floor to the second floor. Clean up Hana's room." My mother said without looking at me.

"Yes." Yeah." That's all I can say I want to refuse can't. At least I can stay with them.

"What duty crusader is Madam?" Ask a confused aunt.

"Aunty's job is to replace her if she's not home." It was not my mother who answered but Papa.

I nodded at Aunt. According to him is the best path for now.

"Ma, Pa I'm leaving ya." Said Hana standing over to Papa Mama and kissing their cheeks in turn. I could see Papa rubbing Hana's head warmly. I miss that. I want to too.

At half-time 7 the doorbell will ring in 30 minutes. Maybe enough to prepare. I was about to step up the stairs but Mama's words caught me off guard.

"Where are you going?"

"Ready Ma ready for school."

"Dishwashing remember you're just babu here."

"But I have to go to school Ma."

"I care about it. Quickly wash the dishes after that you can go to school." After saying that Mama stood up to deliver Papa to the front.

"Udah Non let Aunt do the dishes. Non Agatha is ready." Said Aunt.

"Let me just Bi said Mama should me. The laundry isn't much at least five minutes away."

"But distance schools and homes are not. It's not too late." I could hear the worried tone from aunt's words. At least someone is worried about me.

"Fearly father wouldn't make Agatha stupid." I chuckle softly.

"Non Agatha is still ingrained. Hard-headed." Aunt laughed at her own words.

"Oh, how's Asep's sister?"

"Neither Alhamdulilah has graduated from college. Aunt is proud of her." Auntie's eyes sparkled I could see the pride from inside.

His name was Septian but I often called Asep's brother. He was the only child of Aunt Imah to be a single parent did not discourage Bi Imah to give higher education to Asep. Bi Imah said only education can Bi Imah love. And this year, Asep graduated from the medical faculty at one of the leading universities in Bandung. And the pride itself is that Asep attended college with a scholarship track. He didn't spend a fraction of the cost on college. Even so, Imah still routinely sends money every one month for other needs.

Me and Asep's brother are close. Before moving to Korea I liked to play with Asep's brother if he visited Jakarta. Brother Asep is like a big brother to me he will advance the front if I am teased by children in the complex park. Remembering him I miss him.

"Now Asep's brother works where is Bi?"

"She was admitted to Kimberly Non Hospital. The plan is next week he'll find a boarding house there."

Waitie? Kimberly Hospital is no stranger. I thought for a moment that the name of the hospital was so familiar in my brain. I remember it was the hospital's grandfather one of the branch children.

I smiled as a lamp appeared in my head.

"Bi." I said that I suddenly surprised my aunt.

"Good God, what's wrong with aunty is going to be a shock." Aunt stroked his chest slowly.

"Sir Asep gausah find kosan."

As expected I was late because I kept talking to my aunt so I forgot the time. At 7 o'clock 20 minutes I just arrived at school and directly faced the teacher BK. I'm new here and it's too late. Yesterday the wrong uniform is now too late. Still lucky James was on time to pick me up not pick up in front of the house but 200 meters from home. If it's not possible at 8 I just got to school.

Seven more rounds. Yes seven is not said to be less but very less. I had to go around the field ten times as a punishment. I exhaled this vast school field it took me 3 minutes to get a lap.

Not to mention this field is being used next class for sports. Imagine that I have been the center of attention since I appeared. Not to mention the teacher BK who shouted because I was so slow. Okay in two-hour brackets I've been sluggishly worded by two people. My stomach is hungry I haven't had breakfast this morning last time eating like it was yesterday bagged with Lia last night I just put on a loaf of bread. I hope no one hears my stomach.

Three more rounds. It's gonna be over soon. I'm already uncomfortable being here teacher BK is also still there watching. He has nothing else to do but watch over me. I can't rest. The teacher also repeatedly yelled out that I wanted to scream back and say that you were tired. But I'm not that brave considering I'm new here.

"Hey, did the one yesterday make the school a scene, right?"

"Yes he's the one who said he moved from SOPA."

"It's me so he's I won't leave school."

"Beautiful is also her. Look at her skin as white as milk."

"Gue believes he will be a target for Sarah and her henchmen. Lose the competitiveness bro."

"But his face is not foreign."

This is what has been making my ears hot since. They never see a pretty girl. Patience Agatha patience. Your patience is tested here. But there's still one who's bothered my mind the guy over there is standing by putting his hand on his training uniform watching me since. Ignoring his joking friends. Not that I'm spooky but that his eyes don't get away from me. From the tail of my eyes I can see it without having to look at it. Who the hell is he. He's like the same guy who watched me in class and back home from school.

Okay ignore now focus on running and get to class. One more round. Thank God I didn't faint because I hadn't had breakfast not to mention the scorching sun.

"Aahhkk.." I reflexively held my left chest. Oh, my God, don't beg me now. Hold one more round. Why does it hurt so much like being stabbed by thousands of needles.

Okay Agatha stop first breathe exhale slowly repeat a few times hoping the pain is reduced that the doctor taught.

I tried to stand up but it felt like my legs were limp. My pain has not subsided either. I have no way I'm gonna faint here. Don't make.

"Why did he faint?"

"Acting must be him as our class boy clear clear all."

"I don't think so."

"AGATHA WHO TOLD YOU TO STOP?!!"

That voice again 20 times I heard that sentence echoed in this field. Now try to stand slowly and set your breath. Luckily the pain was a little less with me slowly running back half a lap again. When passing through a bunch of classes that were dancing, my eyes accidentally looked at the guy who was watching me since. In his eyes I could see a hint of worry even though his face was flat. I don't want to take it easy I have to finish this sentence and get out of here before the pain comes back. I bet my face must be red sweaty where it is.

I cursed myself that I forgot to take the medicine that James knew he might come straight here. Why don't I call James after this to give me some medicine? But no I don't want to trouble others maybe I brought the stuff in.

Finish this suffering. I immediately approached the BK teacher who had been shouting and saying that it was done and the teacher immediately told me to go back to class.

"Akkhhh" God hurt again I thought it was over. I looked to the left right of the corridor as it was all following the lesson.

I ransacked my bag looking for something but why isn't there. I remember this morning I put it in what bag it wasn't. Why am I so stupid. My vision was blurry but I could still see a guy running up to me I didn't know exactly how his face was because after that my consciousness was gone.

***

I slowly opened my eyes The first thing I saw was a room that was all white the smell of medicine was also smelled by my nose. This is not a hospital. Who brought me here.

I tried to get up but it felt like my body was limp and the pain in my chest was gone. I hope no one knows about the incident.

"Miss is conscious."

I'm turning. That's James Grandpa's man is so competent he's always there if I'm like this. He takes care of me like his own son. Grandpa didn't choose the wrong person.

"So Miss was under one of the students here. He saw Miss passed out in the corridor."

Without even asking James knew the contents of my head.

"Why can Miss always forget to take medicine if the Great Lord knows I can be scolded out." Said James. "Miss also did not eat breakfast this morning not to mention punished around the field later I will tell the principal to give a reprimand to the teacher who punished Miss."

I smile. "Nobody James doesn't think I'm wrong why I'm late."

"But she always yelled at Miss when she knew Miss was holding back the pain in the field."

"I know you." I was surprised how James knew all that.

"I know everything Miss my eyes are there where to keep an eye on Miss."

I forgot that fact.

"Where's the hell is the hell you going?" James asked if I wanted to get out of bed.

"To class."

"Miss has to eat first la-"

"Yes later I eat dikantin with Lia after that take medicine. You brought me to screw up?"

James nodded then handed me the pouch that had been spelled next to me.

"That's why I'm going first. Thanks for being brought in." I said I left but after two steps I turned back to look at James who was still holding the door that opened me more precisely.

"Don't be the same teacher. He was just doing his job as a teacher."

"Well if it's Miss's will. But maybe I'm not the one who's gonna do that."
