THE PERFECT TIME TO DIE

(CHAPTER 7) WOMEN WITH BAD DESTINY

WOMEN WITH BAD DESTINY.

When I looked into his eyes, the vision came and gave me a million questions. Why did it happen to him, the vision of his future surprised me. Like an ink, that sadness had stuck to his destiny. In my vision, Keira was crying, she was alone in her arms.

Keira, why are you crying?

Keira, why do you have that destiny?

Keira, why did you have to lose your son?

I went into class, because the hours of study were about to begin. Guiltfully, I stared at Keira's desk. From his desk, Keira just fell silent while looking at me with a cynical and cold look.

I just pushed the school prima donna, and made her cry. I immediately saved myself from that gaze, speeding up my steps while turning my eyes and rushing to sit on my stool.

“Eh Rasya, Keira why buy you?” Ask Roni.

Question from Roni, divert me. Roni is my friend. And of all the kids in the class, he's probably the closest one to me. Although I really don't want it, because Roni has a problem that is body odor.

Her body odor often hurts my nose, so I often hold my breath when I'm around her. His body odor can not be explained by words or data, what a smell, the smell of a corpse may be, hmmm.

“Gatau.” My answer.

My answer ended the conversation between the two of us, and before long the bell rang accompanied by Mr. Amir who entered the classroom. Keira as the class leader then stood up, and told the children to greet Mr. Amir.

Mr. Amir was a math teacher at my school, and he also acted as my homeroom teacher. After we finish greeting Mr. Amir. In front of the class, Mr. Amir just stood.

Seeing that, the classroom atmosphere turned silent. And we all know and are well aware, the reason for Mr. Amir's attitude. The answer is the tragedy of the fire that hit the school, three days ago.

Mr. Amir then explained the incident that hit the school, and told us not to worry and refocus to learn. The guilt came back, and I was overwhelmed by it. But behind it all, this smile evokes that guilty feeling.

And I realized that I was still a human being and still had a conscience.

After five minutes surrounded by the fog, we were all surprised by Mr. Amir who suddenly slammed the book he brought on his desk. The attention of the children in the class was increasingly focused on Mr. Amir, Mr. Amir was famous for being assertive, especially regarding the issue of value.

And Mr. Amir did not hesitate to scold even mengewer, children who behave inappropriately or violate school rules.

“You guys at home why the hell, huh? how can your grades get worse, only Keira who gets good grades.” Mr. Amir said.

The children in the class were sculpting, hearing Mr. Amir's complaint. But not the case with Roni, who does not care and is still busy with her Sketchbook. Roni's dream is to become a mangaka. Mangaka is a Japanese term for a person who draws a manga or a comic.

“Especially Roni and Rasya, if this continues. You guys will be hard to get to class.” Further.

I just bowed silently, and pretended to feel guilty about it to Mr. Amir. Actually I don't care about my grades, because for me school is just a place to spend time.

“Can't, I'll rotate your seats.” Mr. Amir said.

Mr. Amir's words made the whole class cheer disappointed, it was probably because the children in the class were comfortable with their countrymen. But not the case with Roni, he was happy and hoped to sit next to Keira.

“May the cave sit the same Keira.” Roni said he hoped.

I just guaranteed Roni a prayer, so that I could escape her body odor and breathe freely again for my days at school. But seeing Roni, it made me think.

But when I imagined the vision of his future that I had just seen. Makes me feel sorry for him, and makes me wonder. Why would someone like Keira have such a terrible fate.

Mary Enggelbreit, an American graphic artist once said, Life is too mysterious for too serious a person. About Keira's future, I realized how annoying life was. And that made me even more distrustful of life. And the word hope, I threw that word away from the dictionary in my life.

Mr. Amir was busy designing our new seats. And the children began to pack up, and went to their new bench as instructed by Mr. Amir. And I'm really unlucky, because I have to sit with Keira.

I thought a lot, especially about this morning, and it seemed Keira was very angry with me. But I had no other choice, and my steps were accompanied by the envious gazes of the children in the classroom.

The cynical look I got from Keira, when our eyes met. Just ignore it, and sit on my new bench. Before long Mr. Amir came to my desk and Keira.

“Keira, you help Rasya yes.” Pinta Pak Amir to Keira.

“Iya Pak.” Keira replied with a smile looking at Mr. Amir.

Keira's smile then disappeared from his face, when Mr. Amir turned his eyes away. I just ignored it, and the lesson began.

After 15 minutes, I got bored and immediately took a comfortable position to sleep. And as I closed my eyes, and prepared to enter into dreamland.

I was shocked when a hand hit me on the back of the head, and when I opened my eyes and looked for the source of the blow. I saw Keira looking at me with an expressionless look.

“Sick!” I said staring at him.

“Iya knows, hence the cave at.” Keira replied expressionlessly.

Keira's answer made my anger run high. And what made me even more upset, he did it expressionlessly. I also thought a lot, is it not too much if he had to hit my head.

Because as long as I live, no one has ever hit me on the head. But after thinking about what happened this morning, the right word is today I'm really unlucky.

“This is a school, not a hotel.” Keira said expressionlessly.

“Sorry so much for that, but you can't, you take care of your own business.” My love to Keira.

Keira still looked at me with her flat face, I looked at her with all my guilt and sincerely apologized for that, because I wanted to return to my normal. And I don't want to have any business, or any problems with anyone else.

“Ehmmm, Ok.” Keira replied with a smile after thinking for a while.

Hearing Keira's reply, I was calm and relieved that my apology had been received by her. Because I realized that I was overdoing it this morning. I went back to finding a comfortable sleeping position and got ready to close my eyes.

But just as I closed my eyes, I again got an unexpected attack from Keira.

“Pak Rasya, sleep in class.” Shouted Keira complaining to Mr. Amir.

I was just surprised to look at him, and unconsciously Mr. Amir's hand was in my ear. Just looking awkward, before Mr. Amir exploded and told me to get out of class.

I could only get down and get out of the class I could. While in her seat, I saw Keira looking at me with her flat face, and looking back at the book on the table.

I really can't believe what happened, how Keira could have brought me to Mr. Amir. I also wondered, how much he hated me. Just stand in front of the class, with those thoughts.

A sincere apology began to cross my mind, as I just wanted to live quietly and graduate from this school. And I shouldn't have come to school this early. Until that event, it will never happen. And maybe if it hadn't happened, I would have slept comfortably on my desk by now.
