THE NEGLECTED ZAHRA DIAMOND

Chapter 5

The next day Zahra really kept her promise. He tried not to wait for his daughter in the classroom anymore. Although full of struggle to win his little daughter who does not want to stay, with patience he was able to convince Zalika to study alone without him in the classroom.

Zalika finally wants to be left behind, and Zahra just watches her from the front of the class.

Zalika seemed not to listen when Ms. Dina delivered the lesson material upset the woman and came to Zahra.

"Say he was able to follow the lesson but why he was still busy drawing and did not want to listen to me deliver the subject matter!" protest, Dina

"He did not even want to teach and sing Indonesia Raya songs during class habituation" he added

"Mother whose name changes the step of the step, no baby born immediately can walk. He will learn to crawl first, learn to crawl, in the new order then walk. Just like Lika, she can't go straight to the same lessons as her friends because she's special. He could have calmed down it was already the progress of Mother, so don't immediately ask her to pay attention to mother. So give Lika time to develop again, I promise that one day she will definitely be the same as other students who will listen to you deliver the material," Zahra explained

Dina then returned to the classroom and began giving assignments to the students.

Again he just delivered the task verbally without giving the details of his orders, of course it makes Zalika still fun to draw when other students have started working on the task of Bu Dina.

As usual, Bu Dina did not want to give an explanation to Zalika who could not understand the order. He was more busy playing his phone and occasionally answered questions from students who came to his desk.

He was reluctant to move from his chair so that the students had to go back and forth to ask him.

Seeing his daughter ignored, Zahra went back into the classroom, he then told Zalika to immediately do the task of Bu Dina. Without him explaining, Zalika immediately knew what to do just by reading the commands from his module book.

Zahra smiled happily when she found out that her daughter was a smart child, even without direction from her teacher, or listening to explanations from her she was even able to work quickly and properly all.

Bu Dina was surprised to see the results of Zalika's work, although he knew this time Lika did it alone without Zahra's help still he did not give appreciation for his achievements.

Unlike when other students who get a hundred grades he directly praised him and proud of him in front of the class.

"Friend, son, someday the world will know that you are a talented child and acknowledge your greatness" said Zahra wiped her tears

For him he was used to seeing discriminatory treatment of people if against his daughter. But he did not want to show his sadness when he saw it right in front of his eyes.

When the break came, all the students rushed out to the school cafeteria. Zalika is the only one who remains in class and is still engrossed in drawing.

"What are you drawing, baby, how is it fun to not want to rest?" sapa Zahra approached her daughter

Zalika was just silent without responding, he was not able to immediately respond to every speech from his interlocutor needed to ask several times so that the little girl would respond to his question.

"Darling, what are you drawing again?" asked Zahra again trying to provoke her reaction

"Dear to hear mamah?"

Zalika.

"What are you drawing again?" ask Zahra again

"What game?"

"Game" he replied again

"Aren't you going to eat or snack?"

"You,"

"If so stop drawing keep washing your hands,"

Zalika immediately ran to leave Zahra to wash her hands. Of course saha Zahra immediately chased after him for fear of anything happening with his daughter.

Seeing many of her friends waiting in line to wash their hands made Zalika leave the place.

"Where are you going, if you want to wash your hands here!" zahra tried to stop him

But Zalika ran so fast that she had trouble chasing him. The little girl then stopped in front of the teacher room and immediately washed her hands in the front sink of the teacher room.

With a breath of breath Zahra began to understand why Zalika ran away from the place.

It turned out that the girl was looking for a quiet place where she did not need to queue to wash her hands.

"Subhanallah, it turns out that you have an amazing initiative. Even your friends are unthinkable to wash their hands here, but you already know how to wash your hands without having to wait in line. You're a real genius" Zahra praised him

after washing her hands, Zalika returned to her class and started eating her snacks.

Bu Dina who saw Zalika only ate Snack directly approached him.

"Not a child like him can not rich snacks that is, why he still eat anyway. After all, he should bring rice to be healthy," said Ms. Dina

"True Ma'am, indeed Lika can not eat Snack carelessly. It should only eat snacks that do not contain wheat or gluten. If he eats this cassava chips with potatoes so safe. In addition, the reason why I do not provide rice is because my child is on a diet. He has breakfast from home so I don't think he needs to eat heavy anymore because it can affect his energy that can be many times over and it can interfere with his learning concentration, he said, so again sorry not because I didn't listen to my mother's orders to bring rice but because I didn't want to make my son too active in that class alone ma'am," zahra's reply made Bu Dina understand

Finished eating Zahra then took her daughter out to play. She wants to teach her daughter to socialize. Although Zalika looks unwilling to blend in, he still tells him to play.

He then chose to play the swing. Zahra then looks after her daughter as she engrosses in swing play. A student approached him and accompanied him to play.

Before long some students came and scrambled for a swing. Zahra had warned to queue but they kept scrambling, making a student fall from the swing while playing. The guardians blamed Zalika, and demanded that he be expelled from the school.

Zahra who did not accept the accusation, how could Zalika who was sitting quietly on the swing could bring down her friend. Due to unreasonable accusations Zahra defended her daughter desperately. He even challenged the student guardian who accused his daughter of going to the police station.

"If you really have proof that Lika dropped the boy, let's go to the police station!" challenge Zahra
