The Pending Wait

Back to school

Two days had passed, it all felt so fast like it had just happened.

I was sitting in front of my uncle's service shop, because there was currently no material to fix.

I don't know why I don't miss school, I'm used to it and don't feel shaken when I have to take a long vacation, but soon it will be held UN (national exam).

I was just wondering if I should go ahead or stop here.

It seems like the world of High School is not so good for me, maybe I should just quit school and work.

Or at least get a Junior High Degree, but if I stop at Junior High now I will not be able to apply for a job in an office or factory.

Since the system in Indonesia is higher education as well as money, they will not care about the necessary abilities and skills, or creativity and talent.

"Good morning dear" said Dinda who suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Dinda, what are you doing?" I replied a little surprised.

"I'm on, shopping for teacher's birthday".

"Waw, why yourself".

"Oh the four of us, but they were across the street" he said pointing to a pastry shop across the street.

"Yes fine, but I'm surprised too".

"However?".

"It's late afternoon and there are a lot of stars".

"Star, isn't there?" dinda said while looking up at the sky.

"Take a look really".

"Ah lie here, try pointing".

"That's in your eyeballs, many star stars🤭".

"Have you mah🥰🥰🥰, can aja🤭".

"Cutely".

"Hehehe, by the way you're daydreaming what?" tanya Dinda started to get serious.

"Oh, I'm confused about my school".

"Why?, you're out of school".

"No, I'm just confused about going to school or quitting"

"Why stop, you have to stay in school".

"Why, what because it is difficult to find work in the office".

"Ah no, rather add to the science".

"Science".

"Yes Momo, if the school is only for diplomas it is better to buy a package c or buy a diploma" said Dinda seriously.

"Hmm so".

"So you have to go to school, to further hone your science and technology and skills".

"Dinda, without school I am more honing skills right, and again not necessarily science in school can be absorbed, sometimes even more not enter the brain".

"Oh Momo don't do that, if the science does not enter it will be our own fault".

"Yes jugak".

"With school the experience you get will be much different than you learn on your own".

"What's more, you will get value and quality because the skills you do can be educated supervision guidance".

"You're right, sorry Dinda I'm going to school".

"Well that's good, spirit well".

"All right'.

Dinda put her hand on my cheek smiling sweetly and then moved away.

"I have to go, they're waiting".

"Yes, be careful" I replied as I waved my hand.

After crossing, he shouted from a distance.

"I'm waiting for your promise".

I raised my hand and gave a thumb sign👍👍.

And he went with his friend and left me across the street staring at him with a smile.

Dinda is right, I have to continue school so that my insight is wider and the science that I get can be direct.

But how do I go to school again, 2 months is long enough for the exam to start in 2 weeks again.

It seems like every once in a while I have to stop by school to say hello to a friend.

And maybe I can meet Zakia, even if it's just for a little while.

But if the teacher sees me, then I will get my punishment and punishment added, I can be expelled from school.

Or I ask you to submit a letter of transfer, it is impossible, if I move in this state no school will accept me.

I have to ask Mr. Ibrahim to remove and clear my good name, he has to explain everything so I can go to school again.

I rushed into the store and got a quick ride home to see my friend at school.

He gave me permission and gave me money.

Without further ado, I quickly left for school because I had to see Buk Limah before he left.

And also I need to talk to Eka, because she's the culprit of all this.

I finally got to school, I saw my friend was resting in the cafeteria, and I went straight into the cafeteria to meet them.

"O you guys, how are you".

"Momo" Dede replied in surprise.

"Well, it's Momo" said Irma and Ayu.

"Did you see Madi" I asked.

"Oh he's in class, why?".

"I want to ask Madi to see Eka".

"Eka will not go to school anymore" replied Anita who is also in the cafeteria.

"Why?, what happened?" many confused.

"What they do".

"They force Eka to be honest to Limah's book who is also the principal".

"Then?".

"Yes he's talking the truth".

"So what is the response of buk Limah".

"He gave you a letter to go back to school" Dede said.

"No letter came to the house" I said.

"Loh, the final that was told to deliver" said Irma.

"But why never arrived" I replied.

"It's so weird" Dede said.

"I guess you don't want to go to school anymore" Anita said.

"Why don't you go to school anymore".

"She was ashamed of the whole class" Irma said.

"What else Selviah often insinuates" continued Dede.

"Ya Zakia also often insinuates Eka" said Irma again.

"Lying to you, I never cared" Zakia said.

It turned out that he was in a chair in the corner of the cafeteria, enjoying Miso.

I looked at him and he turned his face away, he was like that.

"Zakia how are you" I asked her.

But he did not answer silently, he was strange, his attitude always changed.

"Momo is getting whiter I see" said Dede.

"Yes, it's because I work at an AC".

"Well cool" greeted Anita.

"Oh yeah, what do you want to eat, I'm the last one" I replied.

"Seriously" said Anita.

"Yes, just order" I said reassuringly right.

Anita called the waiter and ordered three chicken noodles.

"Bang Udin, Mia chicken three".

"Anita, we just ate" said Irma.

And with the arrival of the Goddess came in and immediately ordered.

"Add 1 more bang" he said.

"No need to go 3" said Dede.

"Well why?" said Anita.

"I am so full".

"Me too" greeted Irma.

"Who are those 3 chicken noodles for?".

Dede shouted to Selviah who was in the school field at the time.

Seeing that I was in the cafeteria, he rushed over.

"Hi Momo, how are you".

"Selvi don't run off and fall off".

"Cie the Momo attention" said Irma.

and then came "GUBRAK!!".

Selviah really fell and made the whole canteen laugh.

"YOU'RE QUIET!" snapped Selvi.

"Lag run anyway".

"Ih Momo is evil'.

"I was wrong".

"Sit here and eat chicken noodles" Dede said.

"I ate in class".

"Don't lie, since Momo didn't come in you never brought stock".

"Eh the cat's nose, even disassemble disgrace" Selvi replied.

"Udah Sel eat only, I treat" welcome me.

"really".

"Yes, but I have to go now".

"where?".

"Find the money to propose to me" said Dede.

"Ngajak batang mechanical buk" Selvi told Dede.

"Hahaha you guys" I said cut.

"Momo more handsome deh, also the more white the skin.

"He's Momo like a Chinese man" Anita said.

I just smiled and then stepped into the cafeteria to pay for their food.

After I finished I was alone, and at that time I also paid a farewell to Zakia but he remained with his cold response.

On the way I think of Zakia, why her attitude is so often, what exactly is it to that person.

It seems that he is not fit to fight.

Maybe that's why God sent Dinda to me.

Thank you Dinda you're here, I promise I won't waste my time, I'll always be with you.
