THE TUMBAL GIRL

Episode 25's

ACCORD

This pain feels isolated, where no one cares about our existence but for the happiness of parents, I tried hard and had to stay strong I tried to stay calm I also found a seat facing the window right at my old school.

“(Hhhh, who waved that hand well?)” ask me in my heart.

For a moment I looked out the window, as if someone was waving at me again an obscure figure, but I immediately ignored him the lesson began, I began to seriously follow him and write notes that had been given by the teacher

But somehow my pencil box in the middle of the table can fall down, I was surprised then I immediately want to take it but, I was just about to take it, I was suddenly surprised to see two hands emerging from under the table as if they were touching the table where I was sitting, the hands were pale bluish and the black nails were long curled which made it look very terrible.

“haaaaaaaaaaaa, what is it...!”  I screamed long while backwards to make myself fall.

“what's putriii??” asked the teacher in front of the surprised one to hear my screams.

 Suddenly I was mute, unable to answer his question.

"why didn't the princess answer?" ask the teacher again

“huuuu, he was carp bu we basically no one wants to be friends with him let alone be friends to approach him just it feels lazy buu” reply a student from that class.

“(no, where might I look for attention, you guys can't see it)” my inner heart while continuing to stare towards my desk.

“you yes princess, do not look for attention so dong, disrupt my lesson hours, understand you!” the teacher who scolded me.

“huuuuuuuuu” cheer one class on me.

I also stood alone as hard as I could to resist crying, but I couldn't bear to finally write a note again I lowered my head and cried by biting my lower lip so that no one would hear it.

“liat bu, new mom temurin she has slept in class” said another student.

“have let him!” exclaimed the teacher who ignored my existence.

Since that day, I have always slept in class, not even though I attended class lessons.

“grandfather, princess rumah” I said while opening the door of the house.

“aduh, if you enter the house say hello dong!” a man who was sitting behind me.

I was shocked to hear his voice because I had never heard it before.

“who are you?” I asked as I slowly walked up to him.

“loh son, the princess has gone home” said grandfather who suddenly appeared to surprise me.

Grandpa walked towards me.

“ehh, biss,. can kok kek” I reply stammering.

how could I not be stammered if grandfather knew I had never taken a lesson somehow and would complain to father and mother.

“Alhamdulilah, well want to ednan this is the grandson of the Mbah” said grandfather while holding the shoulder of the man who was sitting earlier.

“haaaa??? You!!!” we are both compact.

“loh you guys already know anyway, thank goodness then yah” reply grandpa.

Somehow the atmosphere became awkward, he was Ednan Mahliyo Cokro, a man whom my grandfather had hired to protect me, I have passed him several times on the road when we came home and when we met he always smiled even though I put up a look of a gloomy face his response was also very

different from others.

“nah so, I want to ednan from tomorrow escort his grandson to school yah!” grandpa shouted at the man.

“waduh, how do ya mbah me again there is a big project nih mbah” reply.

"he, grandpa what the hell who wants to be escorted by this strange man”

sahutku.

“aduh beautiful, ketus very talk” reply guy fast.

“hahahaha, your ministry is very strong yaa” said grandfather who even laughed.

“but mbah, I am curious also he who always follows the grandson heck mbah” reply the man while staring at the back of me.

As she said that my horse feather was up, and I felt a little claustrophobic at that moment.

“aah, grandpak” I said to grandpa while holding my chest strong.

“waduh cepet terribly reaction” reply ednan.

Grandfather rushed to the kitchen to get some drinking water and immediately drank it to me.

“nak ednan should we discuss this not in front of the princess ya” said grandfather to him.

“ia Mbah, I was just mincing” reply quickly.

“so agree yes princess should also massage with grandpa, if dear princess same grandpa” said grandfather to me.

 I have no other choice because grandfather has said that then inevitably I have to follow the wishes of grandfather I just feel confused for tomorrow what it feels like to be escorted to school and that makes me afraid if I get caught not following a lesson and he complains to grandpa.
