Sweet Life After a Heartbreak

Disappointment of Oriza

That time...

"Did Hisam come in today?". Ask Cahyana to the TU officer. I don't think I've seen Mr. Hisam, usually he likes to come on time. But at this hour he hasn't come yet.

Mr. Hisam, he's a guidance counselor. He is also like a psychologist who is easily able to read characters, emotions and behavior of students. Of course, he was easily close to the students here.

"Two days ago Mr. Hisam applied for leave, he said there were needs that could not be stayed". Obviously a TU officer.

Heeemmmppp, I think I have an idea to know more about Oriza.

Smiling happily while rubbing into the two palms in front of the chest.

It just so happened that Mr. Hisam entrusted his duties to Cahyana,

this is my chance to talk to Oriza.

Cahyana calls one by one the names of students from the XX class according to their absences, because this is the schedule of Mr. Hisam in that class. I patiently talked with the students I called.

Finally, I called Oriza's name. He walked over to the table where I was, my chest beating so badly.

It felt like my heart was beating faster considering that I was going to talk to Oriza at close range, talk to each other face to face and was only blocked by the table between us.

I was amazed by her sweet face, but her firm facial line illustrates that she is an independent woman.

"What's wrong, sir?". I was made aware by her question.

Hey brain aware of you! how shameful. Chagna

"How do you feel after almost three semesters of school here? Are you comfortable? Or is there even a problem?". Trying to make real talk

Chayana is just looking for a way to neutralize the heartbeat that is like a train only, jugijagijug tuuutt...

"It's customary sir". Cahyana

What an answer I never thought of.

"Why feel ordinary". Cahyana.

"This is not the school I want". Oriza's face looked flat.

"Why did you go to school here". Interesting conversation according to Cahyana.

"All because of Dad!".

"What mean?".

Do I have to tell you about this? But let's break down my annoyance a little bit.

Oriza was finished in junior high school. A few days after graduation and graduation, the,

Oriza and her father were involved in a conversation,

"Where do you want to go to school?". Oriza's father asked.

"If allowed to enter the upper middle class I want to be in SMA Negeri XX, if secondary vocational I want to be in SMK Negeri XX".

Both schools are elite schools in this XX sub-district and are not far from where Oriza lives.

"If you choose private school?".

Oriza was surprised by her own father's question, but inevitably Oriza had to answer it.

"If it's private then you'll choose SMK XX". There was a sense of sadness in Oriza's heart that she desperately had to hide in order to continue her school.

Oriza's father just nodded hearing Oriza's reply, and that ended the conversation.

A few days later, came one of Oriza's distant brothers who attended school at SMK XX, which is now where Oriza studied.

Sari her name, she brought the school brochure back then and handed it to Oriza's father.

Oriza spoke to her father again.

"What about this school?". While handing over a brochure to Oriza, Oriza's father began the conversation.

Oriza was still silent looking at the brochure.

What is this he means. Oriza

"Dad wants you to go to school there. In addition to the cost of the same vehicle, the cost of the school was very much cheaper". His father explained, but more in this direction was an order.

"I don't want Dad, what if it's at the private school I mentioned?". There were already tears in Oriza's eyes, she was trying to negotiate with her father's decision.

"It's up to you, Dad who's financing you. You just stay in school. If you don't want to go to SMK XX, then,

then I will not guarantee if someday you drop out of school in the middle of the road". This is the final decision, though,

though his father is very able to finance Oriza school even though it must be in installments.

Why ask me if it's only my father's decision that I have to abide by.

In her heart Oriza was angry. But Oriza could only nod in resignation with her father's decision.

From day to day, Oriza patiently goes through her school days. Than dropping out of school, he thought.

Hearing Oriza's story, Cahyana's heart was touched.

Too bad, even though Oriza is an accomplished student but ended up in a private school like this. Chagna

"Stay in the spirit of Oriza". Cahyana tries to entertain Oriza.

"Actually my spirit is no longer there sir, the one that exists now is only forced". Oriza

"What makes you lose your spirit?". Cahyana dug up the information again, and Oriza went back to telling stories.

First time entering and living the days at school, Oriza is very excited even though this school is not her desire.

Everything went well..

In the first semester, Oriza ranked first.

when entering the second semester, as usual the final grade of each teacher is paste on the notice board of each class.

So every student knows the value that is in the report later from each lesson. Also be able to know the number of values and have a ranking picture.

Have a day that is waiting for a thrilling day even though it has known anyone who got the top ten.

In the second semester, Oriza was ranked second.

Huh! What's wrong? Even though if in view of the number of values I have the highest. Oriza

Yes, the number of Oriza's value is highest among her other friends even though only a very thin difference with the number of the second highest value, which is below Oriza.

At home Oriza just kept thinking about why she could rank second. Long in search, adjusted to the final value note,

apparently the value of math lessons in his report was reduced by five points.

Tomorrow I'll ask Elis.

The next day at school, Oriza met Elis in the teacher's room. Ms. Elis is a math teacher in Oriza's class.

"I'm sorry to ask, is the mathematical value on the notice board a report value?".

"Yes, that value is the final value that is in the Za report. Why why?".

"But the value in my report is different from the one you love". A sad look on Oriza's face.

"Try Oriza to ask her homeroom teacher".

"Good ma'am, thank you". Oriza has passed.

He walked towards the chamber of treasurer while carrying his report book, because there was the homeroom of Oriza.

"Sorry sir, ask".

"Yes what's up Za". The guardian of the Oriza class is approaching

"This sir why the value of mathematics in the report is different from the one that is loved by Elis?

I asked Elis that it was the end result of the report".

"Sorry Za you wrote wrongly". Speak to Oriza's homeroom teacher without feeling guilty

With his lightness he answered miswritten.

"How do you think sir?".

"Yes how else, the value in the report can not be changed".

Oriza simply nodded and passed after saying thank you for no meaningful solution.

Walking towards his class with a lump of disappointment in his heart.

Since then, Oriza has not cared about class ranking.

Cahyana also felt a deep disappointment in the heart of Oriza. How not, Oriza must have painstakingly fought for and maintained her rank.

But all in vain, moreover this was purely not Oriza's fault.

"What is your motivation to stay?". Again Cahyana asked after Oriza finished telling the story.

"It won't be long, just three years.The rest go away from this school and get a diploma". Yes just a diploma Oriza's goal, about the stage is no longer a priorias.

Finished the conversation, Cahyana could only encourage Oriza. But it looks like Oriza has been numb because many times she was disappointed.
