Ugly Ducks Among the Goose
chapter 18
The POV start
"Reihan, the mother of the other mothers the value of your tray out is highest in your generation huh?" Mother asked that while we were bribing our breakfast this morning, the older brother in question just nodded with a smile. "Wah that's great" the mother smiled sumringah but then continued sour again his face "hadeh, Andika you should go to foreign language school just so as not to have bad grades in IPA and Mathematics" mother began to discuss me
"Mom you know?, with the value that I now don't even say the same my friends if I have a sister" Reihan again said that for the umpteenth time. "Kok can he be born to our family?" That's a nasty phrase I've gotten used to hearing in this house.
I've been second in my entire life. I was always compared to my smart sister. My parents did not pay the same attention to us. That's how I've lived my life all this time. At first I was not interested in Tiara Azahra.
On the first day of school. I sat reading a book in the park with my friend who I've known since Junior High. "Eh Dik, would you like to be the class president?" Ask my friend
"Not sure, maybe I'll try" I replied briefly
"Hey, look at that" my friend said, "Tiara Azahra is so beautiful"
"She's the prettiest girl in school" said my other friend "eh Dika, see what do you think?. She's also the smartest student in our school" patting my thighs and turning my head
"It's normal" I replied, making my friends reflexively turn their heads
"Oh you have high standards, huh?" Ask them while laughing a little
He must be arrogant because of everything he has, he must be like my haughty brother. Answer in my heart
"I feel sorry for Sari or Putri or whatever her name is" they continued the conversation "for what to try to lose weight, she is still not comparable to Tiara"
Instead I am more interested in the Princess, who is the same fate as me. When reprimanding him to immediately collect the task I became know his favorite cake. After talking to her, it turned out that she was kind and had a lot in common with me. I've seen him sorting through dozens of gifts on his desk that people have sent to Tiara, Tasya, and Siti. He did that without feeling inferior. I didn't know and I asked "you're birthday today?"
"No, this is not my gift. Please don't eat" he said. I think only he can understand the sense of inferiority and defeat. But after a long time hanging out with him opened my eyes to things I didn't know all along.
"I'm afraid you like freaks again" Tiara said as we both defied the Princess close to Kenzo, the master of the art of masterpieces
"I saw his head start bald, it's very dangerous Put" I said to scare the Princess
"Eh!, can't I go out?" Answer the Princess
"Can't!" Tiara and I answered together and at that moment we turned to face each other
"What the hell" the Princess said. But I still looked at Tiara even though she had turned to look forward again. Tiara Azahra was not cold-hearted. I smiled realizing that too.
"Nando was in Pelita Abadi High School, right?" Tiara comes to the rescue of the Princess who is in the middle of the problem "if it's not wrong she ever said there is a strange girl who is obsessed with her, it's you huh?" "He blocked your number but instead you came to his house, he told me it was very difficult to avoid you"
"That's true?" Aulin directly asked Yuni
"Do you want to hear directly from the guy?" Tiara reached into her phone. Tiara was the one who was ready to defend her friend at any moment.
"When, please give this to the Princess, she wasn't in her seat I saw"
"You're giving this to me?" I was nervous at the time
"The princess seems to believe in you a lot, so I'm nitip at you, but remember! Don't try to do anything bad to her!."
"Mmm o okay" I replied while receiving the item. When he spoke to me, it made me feel special.
When I was in the cafeteria two of my friends came to my desk, they said "eh Dika Tiara Azahra followed you on Instagram huh?" "Gilaaa cool-cool" exclaimed another friend "he rarely chatted with others, even in the broadcasting experience though"
"Well that's nothing" I replied trying to hold back my ego
"Eh Dika, what does she like?" Ask one of them
"Mmm she doesn't like to eat sweet foods" I replied with a smile like "she also likes cosmetic products and skincare"
"Wahhhh" "he's really like the characters in the movie" they exclaimed, "where have you been with him?" They ask again
I nod little "assortment, cinema, and others..."
"Cinema?" "That's giving us the answer, hahaha" they laughed at me
"Ahhh no" I answered shaking my hand. My position among my friends is different. They started to appreciate me and see me differently.
"Eh moreover? Story to us!". They envy me. That's me now.
One night I was about to grab some cold water in the fridge near the dinner table, there was Reihan my brother was sitting and playing "eh Dik" phone he called me and I turned. "You're dating Tiara Azahra, aren't you?" Ask me, "i've seen it on your Instagram, she's famous in big sister's school".
I don't want to lose the feeling that I'm special. So I subconsciously answered "yes"
"Is this my sister's new one" she looked a proud smile at me "so you've done what to her?, her body's good?" Next question
I lied to her. One morning around nine in the morning I was walking past the back of the front building at the school that got a lot of sunlight, I found a boy student shooting Tiara to ask her to be a boyfriend.
"Near! I beg to be my girlfriend, I will treat you well" she said directly in front of Tiara as she was about to cross paths
Tiara didn't like it if anyone expressed her feelings like that. Stupid jerk. Even though he was handsome, he was very stupid. I'm not like him. I then walked over and stood next to Tiara "excuse me, Tiara was called to the teacher's room as soon as possible, she will be there with me" my hand immediately grabbed Tiara's shoulder. I am the only one who understands you, I said in my heart.
"Sorry, why?" He looked at my hand on his shoulder
"So let's hurry" I immediately invited him to leave the place, not far after we left the stupid guy he immediately let go of my embrace and walked away. She is not an easy woman, but that is the advantage.
