The Step Sister of Tiri

227. School list

Hanif knocked on the door of the headmaster's room which was already half open. Looks like a guy's been checking some files. I don't know what documents the person in the room checked.

"Assalamualaikum," Hanif said as the man turned his head.

"Waalaikumsalam, please come in!"

Hanif and Adam entered the room. The two sat in front of the headmaster's desk. After making sure the guest had relaxed, the headmaster started the question.

"Sorry, sir, how can I help you?" the headmaster asked with a smile.

"Look, Sir. I would like to see this school if it is allowed. I am currently looking for a suitable school for my son. Maybe my son is also comfortable in school here. For now still looking around first, whether it is appropriate or not," Hanif replied.

"Oh, of course you can. I can accompany you around this school. I will also explain a few things about the excellence of this school. You want to see now or tomorrow?"

"Now, sir. It just so happens that I also have no job so, I still have time to look around at the state of this school."

"All right, come on, sir!"

Hanif and Adam followed the principal around the school. The man with the stocky body explained a lot about this school. From the start of teaching and learning programs and also about extracurricular activities. There are some advantages that this school has as well.

Hanif also looked around. The environment is pretty clean. Every classroom was also neatly organized, all the students also looked so calm as the teacher explained. The headmaster said if during the lesson, the atmosphere was made as calm as possible.

It's not about making students afraid. It's just that today many children underestimate the calmness of the teacher when explaining. They thought the teachers were not so important. Not even their manners ignored them anymore.

"This is our school environment, sir. If you still have something that is not clear and want to ask again, please go ahead. As much as possible I will answer it," said the principal after explaining many things.

"When it comes to school, everything is clear, sir. You explained in such detail, I was glad to hear it, too" said Hanif who then looked at his son. "Adam, you have something to ask the principal?"

Adam nodded quickly then, looking at the headmaster. "Here are all the children of the rich, sir? I see the school is good. Here definitely pay expensive school.”

The school principal smiled in response. He did not expect to get this kind of question from a child. The man thought, there must be something in this child regarding the status difference. Whatever it is, it's none of his business.

“Not really, all the same. There are also those from the lower middle class. If parents and children do have great intentions, nothing is impossible if for the good of their children. Every parent has a different purpose. Even though they are from among those who are unable, but have a strong determination, to send their children to the best school, they will definitely try their best, no matter what. The school will not remain silent either. If there really is a student who has a hard effort for school here."

"Oh, so, they also got a scholarship, huh, sir?" asked Adam again who was taken in by the principal.

I don't know what the kid was thinking. Seen from his face he was very satisfied with the answer given by the headmaster. Hanif wondered why Adam asked like that, but it was better that later he asked when both of them.

"Adam, you better play there. It's got swings and slides. Papa still wants to talk to the headmaster," said Hanif, who was adopted by his son.

Adam nodded and decided to go to the garden. There are some games there. Though this is elementary school, but the school also provides games like this. All games are bigger.

"I'm sorry, Principal. I want to ask you something. I hope you answer honestly. Can the school store data so that no one knows? Even though it's the teachers. At least there are only a few teachers, who are involved in the registration, who know about the identity of my child," Hanif said, making the principal frown.

"Honestly, Mr. Hanif. That is a bit difficult because indeed, school data also every year must definitely apply to foundation institutions. All children will collect family cards. The activity will definitely involve a lot of people so, I cannot promise, but I will definitely try to cover it up. Sorry in advance, if you don't mind why do you want to cover up your child's identity?"

Hanif let out a slow breath. "Actually he's not my real son, sir. I adopted it a month ago. I don't want him to be the subject of his friends or maybe people who know him. That's why I want to erase the scratch off for a while. Until the child is completely able to receive attacks from everyone. Surely you also know very well if now the human mouth can not be maintained anymore. They like to talk original, without thinking about other people's feelings."

"I understand your point. Do you know how long you've been married?"

"There hasn't been a year, sir."

"This is difficult, Mr. Hanif. If your marriage age is older than Adam, it can be tricked, whereas now your marriage is not even a year while Adam is already that big. All the decisions are yours, whether you want to stay in school or not. Like I said earlier. I can't guarantee what you're asking for, but I'll work on it."

Actually Hanif didn't want to tell anyone about Adam's identity. However, he also needed someone who could be trusted in order to cover up his secret. The man had indeed deliberately chosen this school because here, all the students were indeed from all walks of life. No bullying happened either.

Hanif is in a dilemma, not that there is a need to forget his biological family. However, for now for the sake of the child, it is better not to know his family now. When Adam is ready, Hanif will let his son make his own decision.

"Regarding that, I can't make a decision. I leave it all to my son. We better ask him directly. He wants to or does not go to school here" said Hanif who immediately approached his son along with the principal.

This is elementary school. However, the school still provides play area facilities for children. It was better for them to be able to move their bodies, rather than having to play a cell phone. This will damage the eyes and brain. They can also know the types of games.

"Adam, come here first!" call Hanif. Adit immediately ran up to the papa. It seems like there is something that wants to be talked about again.

"What's up, Pa? Why call? Is there something that has happened?" adam asked when he was near his father.

"Look, Honey. Papa wants to ask you. Are you comfortable not attending school here? Or looking for another school? Papa promised me that Papa wouldn't make you go to school here so, all decisions are with you."

"I want to go to school here, Pa. The school is good, there is a playground as well. If I get tired of playing here. When did I start school, Pa?"

"Papa discussed the same with the Headmaster. Papa also wants to ask your needs during school here. Do you want to play here or come with Papa back to the principal's room?"

"I want to be here, Pa. When Papa's done, call me here."

"All right, then. Remember not to go anywhere! Don't stay away from this play area, yeah! Let Papa later not be confused to find you," said Hanif before leaving.

Adam nodded his head. "Yes, Pa. I'll just be here, not going anywhere."

Hanif and the headmaster returned to the room, to discuss what Adam needed at school. Not to forget the man also filled out a form and submitted some necessary conditions.
