THE BEAUTIFUL CARDBOARD HEAD

5

The hour hand shows the number eleven nights which means that the night has been so late. Bagas had just returned from his shop it felt very tiring that the state of the store was very crowded as usual even though he had several employees who served his visitors but still he had to intervene to supervise his shop that's.

This incident at noon was very disturbing his mind he did not intend to yell at his daughter at all, But every time Anya discussed that her emotions were always uncontrollable she was only afraid of losing the person she loved for the second time. The first thing when he entered his house was the state of the house that looked silent and dark. Some lights have been turned off like the princess is asleep in her sleep, because it has become a habit of Anya who sleeps before 10 pm, she decided to immediately go to her daughter's room.

After walking up the stairs one by one, he finally arrived at the door of Anya's room. Slowly Bagas turned the knob of Anya's unlocked room door, he could see Anya who was sound asleep. With a slow step he walked closer to the bed where his little daughter was asleep, Seeing his little daughter sound asleep with her hands hugging his beloved teddy bear made the guilty feeling now reappear, he shouldn't have done that to his beloved daughter.

"Sorry father son" only one sentence that Bagas can say to Anya, not Bagas does not support the dream of his daughter. But he was just afraid that the unfortunate incident was repeated to his beloved daughter, he just did not want Anya to leave him like his wife left him a few years ago.

Not strong linger in the child's room. Bagas decided to immediately exit Anya's room, recalling the memories of the past would only make her sob again. Bagas' outstretched hand justifies the position of Anya's blanket that almost fell, not to forget also he kissed the child's forehead warmly before passing away leaving Anya who was in deep sleep.

This morning as usual Anya went to school on foot, down the path by foot to the school. But the current weather is like being unfriendly this time, the sun does not shine brightly as usual because it is covered with clouds. The sky that should be bright with a bluish color now looks dark like night, it looks like this morning it will rain heavily. Anya sped up her steps towards the school before the rain drenched her.

But it was true that he did not expect much later. The rain began to pour down with a rush to wet the earth, requiring Anya to pull over in search of a place that could protect herself from the rain.

"It rained so hard, I forgot to bring an umbrella. Where this was going to be late again" he murmured while looking at the circular watch on his tiny wrist.

"Am I breaking through? Waiting for me to get hungry late. It looks like the rain has subsided quite hard as before" while extending his hand to enjoy every drop of water. While looking for anything that can cover his head, in the midst of his anxiety he accidentally saw an unused banner again. Anya decided to use the banner as a tool to protect her head from rainwater, then she immediately left for school again before the rain fell even more heavily later.

With a hand holding a banner above his head. Anya walked around the streets of the city that began to be flooded by the water, with long but careful steps she walked towards her school. The number of puddles makes a little bit of a worry because he is now wearing his white clothes. Yet...

A silver car speeding from the back, which then made a chipartan from the puddle of water hit Anya who was not far from the puddle.

" Rasain lo!" muttered. Then he returned to drive his car at high speed leaving Anya who was drenched due to the spark from the puddle.

Anya who saw the car, speeding away leaving it like it could only surrender. Being angry would also be useless, it was better for him to continue his journey before he was really late.

"Huh! Finally arrived" he murmured. After that, then, he decided to go to the toilet first to clean the mud on his clothes before the mud really stuck on his clothes and would be very difficult to clean later.

The atmosphere of the school seemed quiet, because usually many students who choose to relax themselves in the rain like today. Relax at home while enjoying indomie sauce with a fun cartoon flim companion.

She walked into the toilet. Turn on the water tap and start cleaning the uniform. While cleaning her uniform, Anya did not realize that someone had just entered the toilet.

"Hi" she said with a sweet smile. But unlike what Anya felt, this female smile before her seemed to have another meaning behind her smile.

"we haven't known any further like, I want to know what your name is?" he said slowly approaching Anya, which instantly made Anya walk backwards to avoid him.

"Vevanya Jenita Amora" he said again see the name tag listed on the Anya uniform.

"Gue was curious as to what you were hiding behind this cardboard" he said trying to remove the cardboard covering Anya's head.

" No, brother, I beg you" Anya pleaded. But in vain Anya speech is completely ignored, Gretha still forced Anya to release the cardboard.

No matter how hard Gretha tried to remove the cardboard from her head, it would not produce any results because Anya remained tight on her stance. Until finally Anya decided to do something crazy she kicked Gretha's stomach with her legs until it made Greta grimace in pain. Without wasting much longer Anya immediately fled from Gretha who is now holding pain in her stomach due to a hard enough Anya kick.

" Fuck you!" his curse while grimacing in pain while holding his stomach as a result of the powerful enough Anya kick.

Arriving in class Anya immediately sit as usual on his stool. Today it seems that Mr. Bayu does not enter anymore, the classroom atmosphere looks crowded with students busy themselves with their own activities ranging from those who play mobile phones, until a group of women who were talking coolly whether it was talking about other people or just discussing their daily activities. That's what it is if women get together.

Anya was bored. There was nothing else he could do, he just sat pensively lamenting the rain through his classroom window. With a sigh Anya decided to read the book at least this can eliminate a little bit of her boredom, when empty hours like this usually there is Aditya who accompanies her. But today he did not enter as usual, making Anya's boredom increase.

Anya did not have many friends during her school here, even many of them who knew her. The cardboard head that might be the reason, they think that Anya is crazy for never wanting to remove the cardboard from her head even many of them who consider Anya crazy. But unlike Aditya, he does not even care about other people's views of Anya and still wants to be friends with Anya until now, arguably only Aditya is the only friend he has.

The school bell just rang a few minutes ago. Garuda High School students rushed out of class to immediately return to their homes, not least Anya. As usual Anya came home on foot down the road, the weather had seemed to start bright, the sun that had been hiding behind the clouds had now come out and illuminated the entire surface of the earth that made the earth was hit by the wind.

Before returning home Anya decided to stop at her favorite place not to forget also she told the father that she would come home late today. A simple place but make it comfortable, this place is not too interesting just an empty place with surrounded by many walls and there are many wild cats that occupy this place. If you come here Anya always bring cat food because of the many wild cats that roam here.

Anya likes cats. Hairy animals with cute and adorable behavior that can make Anya feel at home here and always make her long to return to visit this place. But several months he was busy with his school activities so that only this time he had time to visit his beloved pet.

"Hi. I'm sorry I just got here again, surely you guys miss me a lot, don't you?" say Anya to her cats. But as if they do not care they continue to eat without being disturbed by Anya who now pet them.

"you're so funny sih, nihh eat a lot so let's add a puff". Then his hand moved to add his food again.

After playing with the cats. Anya decided to look around the place she used to stop by first. This place hasn't changed much like it. While being cool around his eyes saw a scrawl of sentences on the wall.

How's it going? Is your new school fun?

The graffiti on the wall made him smile again. Looking back on some of the previous graffiti made her feel like she had a confiding friend, although she did not know who wrote it but this made her heart flower.

Good. I don't know how to describe it, but I'm glad I have a friend.

After writing a reply to the message, Anya decided to return home as it was getting late and she was afraid Bagas would worry about her. Then he cleaned up some of his things and rushed back home.

Seriate.....
