"Nitaa! Nita, what's wrong with you, honey?"


"Nita, wake up, honey. Banguun. Papa quickly take Nita to the hospital."


"Come, Ma!"


"Mrs ... Nita why?"


"Auntie, please take Anyala away from here. Take him to the park."


"B-ba-good, Mom. Come on, Non Anya."


"But, Bi, what's wrong with Nita?"


"Come on, come with Auntie."


Without him knowing, that time was the last time Anyala could see Kak Nita. An older brother she saw, covered in blood on the bed. Before ... he's gone for eternity. Go and never get Anyala to play with the doll.


"Sir Nita why?"

"The protagonist is a good main character. While the antagonist is the character who blocks the protagonist's goals."


With confidence, Queena answered the question thrown by Bu Warni, an Indonesian teacher. While other friends chose silence, either because they did not understand or lazy, the girl chose to be brave.


"Good, Queena," praised Bu Warni with a smile, also giving a soft applause. As an Indonesian teacher, he is aware of the obstacles to understanding the language of unity among students.


Most students prefer to complain about the amount of reading in the lesson. Not to mention the way of writing that must be appropriate and in accordance with the applicable guidelines.


Not infrequently Bu Warni corrects writing and notes to fit the rules of good grammar and right. For most students it is a very boring rule.


Someone raised a hand, turning the attention of the class contents from Queena to her.


"Yes, Anyala."


Anyala Hayati stood up, her lips smiling symmetrically. Showing a friendly face while being confident.


"Sorry, Mom. I don't think it's like that."


Instantly the twinkle on Queena's face dimmed. The pride he had felt receded, although it did not just disappear.


"Please, Anyala," welcome Miss Warni.


"The protagonist is indeed the main character. I mean, the main character that drives the plot of the story. Regardless of whether he is good or evil. The main character is not always good, nor always evil. While the antagonist, as Queena has explained, is the character who blocks the protagonist's goals."


"What do you mean, anyway?" protest a student sitting in the back. The class atmosphere became boisterous. Calmness has been successfully confounded by Anyala's attitude.


"Quiet down!" remember Miss Warni, "Continue, Anyala."


"As I said just now, regardless of whether he is good or evil, the protagonist is the main character. Many stories make criminals as the main character. Hollywood movies too, used to put government rebels or lawbreakers as the main characters. Or put it this way, let's just say a movie I've seen with my Papa, titled Ocean Eleven. The film tells the story of a group of robbers who rob a casino."


"Isn't the casino a place for gambling? Gambling is illegal. So, robbing a casino is not a crime," the unwilling Queena loses her pride as the brightest star in the 10-F class.


"Did Queena not know that in Vegas gambling is legal? Not breaking the law. We're talking based on the background of the story, so don't go anywhere. Or maybe Queena forgot that now it's not a religious lesson?"


Queena looked down lethargic, if only she showed her face everyone would know that she had lost.


"Oh, tell you what," said Anyala casually, she sat back down.


"How about we suppose Datuk Maringgih in the story of Siti Nurbaya. Many of us consider him evil, while Samsul Bahri is good. In the end, Datuk died in a state of defending the homeland. Evil and good are just characters in the story often develop, dynamic. While the characterization itself, it has been confirmed from the beginning by the author. Isn't that right, Master?"


"Good, Anyala. You have a broad perspective on this. Looks like you've also learned a lot outside of Mom's hours."


"Thank you, Mom."


Among the sweet smiles, Queena could clearly read the cynical and condescending glances that Anyala had deliberately cast on her.


"Alright, for the assignment, I'll give you the story material. Please work a group to outline the intrinsic elements in the story. You will be divided into seven groups, three people each. Tasks are gathered next week."


"The group is free, right, Mom?" ask one of the students.


"Yes, free. Now we go on with the material, yeah."


"Our!"


The children in the class returned noisily, while Anyala seemed to provide a sense of calm for her two friends, Nana and Mia. They will join into a group in doing the task of Bu Warni. Of course, both girls are happy to be able to get good grades from Anyala's intelligence.

"Eh, move aside," Mia said spontaneously while forcing Anyala and Nana to stop.


"Eh, yes, there's Jago. Greetings, Ma'am Jago," Nana appeared polite and sweet as they crossed paths with Queena.


"If not wrong, Queena means ... queen, right?" fashion Mia. While the one who was teased just kept quiet and started to feel fed up with the three people before him.


"Excuse me, yes," he said as he hurried away. However, before that happened, Mia and Nana had already hunted to prevent it.


"Eitz! Wait a minute, Queen. Where's your son going?"


Hearing Mia's words, Nana and Anyala laughed.


"Ups! Sorry, not intentionally!" mia said in a panic after spilling strawberry milkshakes onto Queena's shirt. Followed by the panic of Nana who tried to wipe the spillage of drinks, which actually made the Queena uniform more dirty.


"Oh, sorry, yes," said Nana.


"Udah, Gaes. Don't, dong," prevent Anyala who had not been nosy.


Queena was a little relieved. Even though his heart was in chaos. The girl is sure, students as smart as Anyala must have common sense and will not let her friends make mistakes. Especially the intentional.


"Oh, no, huh?" ask Mia plain.


"Anya sure? He's the one trying to defeat Anya, you know?"


Nana asked innocently. With a look of pity, Anyala looked at Queena. The girl seemed to signal Queena so she wouldn't have to worry. Nana and Mia must have followed what Anyala said.


"Don't, dong," said Anyala, sounding so sad and sympathetic. Queena felt she would soon be free of trouble. However, instead of advising Mia and Nana, Anyala instead said, "Don't hesitate!"


Both of Anyala's hands tickled Queena's stomach, forcing the girl to bow. While Nana actually also poured orange juice on Queena's back.


Mia poured the snack directly into Queena's hair with a fiery spirit.


"That's the punishment for anyone who dares to disturb Anyala!"


"Thank you, Queen of Fleas!"


Queena looked up, looking at Anyala with a fire of fury that seemed ready to earth all that was before her.


While looking down, Anyala whispered to Queena. An intimidating sentence, more like an ultimatum.


"Don't be a pinter, yeah, a flea queen."


After being satisfied the three people left her Queena while laughing. Meanwhile, the one who had just been bullied turned around, ran to the toilet to clean up the mischievous remains of his classmate. Of course with seeds of hatred that will soon flourish.


In front of the sink, Queena cried while cleaning herself. His head was full of the retaliatory plans he was about to launch for Anyala, as well as Mia and Nana.


"Take care of you, Anyala!" threaten her self in the mirror.
