There Is Him Among Us

Don't Give Up

A few days have passed, the day was the announcement of the results of the Math Olympiad which Revan, Azka, and Airin followed two months ago, and the result was Revan to become champion one while Azka became champion two. They both have the opportunity to participate in the national Olympics in Jakarta. If they qualify again, they can make it to international kanca.

"Congratulations. You both deserve to be winners." Airin congratulated Azka and Revan who happened to be all gathered in the cafeteria during the break.

Of course there are Melodi and Siska who also join them.

"Two weeks to go to Jakarta. How many days is there?" melodi asked Azka but Azka did not answer, her face looked very grim.

"Ka?"

Azka finally shook her head. "I don't think I'm coming."

"Why?" ask Melody and Airin together.

"Ka, I've said the same lo, let all the accommodation costs have me make lo."

Azka let out a long breath. He only managed to win second place, accommodation costs such as plane tickets, hotels, and others were only borne 50 percent by the school. Although only 50 percent but for him very much, a million money is not enough. He himself could only collect hundreds, from where he could get money.

"Gue don't want to." Azka stands up but her hand is held back by Revan.

"Azka, this is your chance to get a scholarship to study abroad."

"Gue can't possibly lose you."

"Since when did you become a pessimist. Okay, I'm gonna quit the Olympics. Let me win!"

Azka brushed off Revan's hand violently. "Gue just wants to be the winner of my own results, not of mercy, and I don't need your help!" Azka turned her body and walked away from them all.

"Azka, another PMS?" Siska holding Melodi's arm saw Azka's anger.

"Azka again has a lot of problems. I heard from the neighbors, every day his parents quarreled." Melodi's story that his house was close to Azka.

"Say they're getting divorced?" ask Airin.

"Yes, but the court has not yet called them to the hearing. Know for yourself if there is no money the process must be long. While Azka's house was the family's home, so if they were to get divorced, Azka and her mother would leave the house. Maybe Azka again dizzy thinking of it all," story Melodi.

"Yes, pity Azka."

"Ai, you persuaded him to accept my help" said Revan.

"But, Van..."

"I'm sure he'll listen to you." Revan clasped Airin's hand for a moment, then he stood up and left the three of them.

"Oh, I'm confused Mel. I tried to keep my distance from Azka to keep Revan feeling. But how good is it?" This time Airin asked Melodi for her opinion.

"You're samperin aja Azka. Revan is understanding. No papa."

"You're all right, Mel."

Melody just smiled a little. "Azka can't possibly hear my words. I don't papa, Azka must also need a confiding friend."

Airin finally stood up. He's walking to find Azka. "What's Azka in the basketball practice room?"

Finally Airin walked towards the basketball practice room. Sure enough, Azka was playing basketball in there all by herself.

Airin took the rolling ball and threw it again at Azka. "Azka!"

"Azka's." Airin was sitting next to Azka. "Never give up."

Azka just smiled obliquely. "I'm not giving up. But this is the reality of my life."

Then they both fell silent while staring blankly at the basketball court.

"Why don't you want to go to the Olympics?" ask Airin.

Azka lowered her gaze. "I'm only champion two. I don't have a fee to buy a plane ticket."

"You really don't want to go to the Olympics?" airin asked while looking at Azka.

Azka did not answer.

"I know you're dying to come along. Azka, you are not alone. Your friends can help you. Tell you what, if indeed you do not want to receive help from Revan, you can borrow coffee money. You can try it at any time" said Airin, he tried to give the best solution for Azka.

Instantly Azka looked at Airin who was giving a smile of hope to her.

"Azka, that opportunity didn't come twice. So you should be able to take advantage of that opportunity. You have to keep trying, one time fail, you have to try again. Don't be like me, who won't try anything." Now Airin was laughing at himself. "You try to imagine, if one day you succeed, the first person who will feel happy is your mother. You can also give your mother a life that is worth living. If you feel tired, just remember your mother. I'm sure the spirit in you will definitely show up again."

Azka hugged Airin. "Thank you. Yes, what you say is true. Sometimes I get tired of living this life. I envy you, why am I not as lucky as Revan and all of you."

At first Airin hesitantly receives a hug from Azka. He wanted to take it off but he could feel that Azka was in need of strength right now.

Then Airin rubbed Azka's back. "Everyone has their own portion of the problem. You have been given a lot of advantages. You're good at basketball, and you're good at lessons."

Azka let go of her embrace and looked at Airin. "Yes, I'm the one who's less grateful."

"From now on don't feel like you're alone. You still have friends who can help you."

Azka nodded her head. "Later I'll check the fee, I'll borrow the cafe's money. May you be loved."

"Definitely dear, who holds the financial cafe Om Adit. The spirit! You have to achieve all your dreams."

Azka nodded her head. He smiled as he looked at Airin. How can he forget his feelings for Airin if the more days Airin makes him fall in love.

Revan actually saw the two of them. He was following Airin. If said to be jealous, she is indeed jealous but she should be able to be magnified. For him, the most important thing is Airin's current status is his girlfriend.

Then Revan turned around and walked back to class. He walked slowly while observing some of the building porters who were carrying materials to renovate the hall and build additional toilets.

Suddenly someone was blocking his steps. "This is for Revan." The girl gave him a pretty box and he immediately turned his back and ran away.

"Make what? Wait!" revan's call didn't stop the girl.

Revan just stared at the gift he had in his hand.

"What's this?" ask Airin while taking the gift.
