Unite In Love

Lulu Andriana's (FlashBack)

Today I was standing in front of the golden-painted school gate. My black Netra stared intently at the highway, hoping that the King and Queen in my heart would come soon. Two hours passed but no one was looking for me, I began to sigh violently, trying to express my concerns.

"Has Om and Auntie come?" Someone asked while patting my shoulder from behind.

"I'm sure your King and Queen are stuck in a long traffic jam!" Again, this time he spoke with a smile.

I should be sure? How could? It is not usually too late without giving word! I think I want to cry. Crying will not be useful. Besides, I'm not a whiny girl who's gonna cry in a corner of school all by herself. Instead of crying I wanted to borrow Nissa's motorbike and look for the whereabouts of my King and Queen! I muttered to myself while tidying up my hair child who had been in the wind since.

"Lu. How long are you gonna stand here? I'm sure Om and Aunt won't be coming soon! It's free for you to stand here, look at the skin on his face. Your face looks flushed like boiled shrimp because you're standing in a place this hot! Didn't Mr Halil ask you to wait in his post? Just look at it later, I will definitely scold him!" Nissa grumbled while squeezing her lentic fingers.

Nissa! Her name is Nissa, she's my closest and closest friend.

Yaaa... I have friends, among whom Nissa is the closest. The hardworking boy could not get away from me even for a moment, he even made excuses to the caretaker to stay at my house. Our friendship is now three years old. To be precise, all of these stories started since we got into the same endorsement. Even the other friends to dub us gum. Know why? It was all because of Nissa, Nissa always followed me wherever I went without being able to part with me. That's how our friendship started, and I love him so much. We are like siblings even though we come from different wombs, am I lucky to have Nissa by my side? Of course the answer is, yes. We love each other and there is nothing better than that.

"Lu... Let's go in! If Aunt Rani and Om Angga knew you were standing at the school gate carrying a bouquet of flowers with the look of an orphan, do you think they would be happy? Soon you will be a warm meal for Elisha and his gang!" Nissa spoke while occasionally shaking her lips. Understandably, compared to myself Nissa was much more worried about me. This is what friends say brother.

"I've never been afraid of the centile Elisha, you've always been afraid of him. The more you fear him, the more he'll be happy to bother you. Sometimes I wonder if you're my best friend or his best friend? Lately you've always been on her side." I said, turning my back to Nissa, I deliberately spoke like that so that the baby boy would enter immediately and there was no need to accompany me in this hot weather.

Her name is also Nissa, no matter how hard I throw her away that strong she will survive, she is really like weed, the more she is stepped on the more she will survive.

Eeiiitt! Wait a minute, I'm not that cruel friend, there's no way I stepped on it or kicked it out. I'm just telling you that my Nissa is a very strong person, she's like an umbrella that will protect me from the rain and heat.

"Five minutes! I promise you five more minutes, if Mama and Papa don't come in five minutes we'll go inside, how? Do you agree?" I nudged Nissa's flattened body while smiling faintly. There was no reply from my best friend other than a small nod. This is what I love about Nissa, it's not that hard to persuade her, and I love my best friend so much, love because of God.

...***...

Huhhhhhh!

Sure enough, five minutes had passed but Mama and Papa did not come. Though before they said they had left and would arrive soon.

King and Queen! That's how I called Mama and Papa. Every child is commanded to be devoted to his parents. As much as I can, I do my duty as a princess who is always ready to make my parents happy.

Are they stuck in a long traffic jam? Or did they stop by somewhere to prepare for my graduation surprise? Or could it be that Mama and Papa are involved in a complicated matter? Lord, protect my King and Queen. They are like the sun that always shines on my life, don't put my mind in the dark because I will never know when the darkness will move away from my life. I muttered inwardly as I rubbed the sweat that started dripping from my forehead.

Didn't you promise we'll be inside after five minutes? My knee hurts a lot!" Nissa said as she patted her knee. He pulled my arm without caring about my face which is still on the road.

"Mama and Papa non Lulu haven't come yet? They always arrive on time." Mr. Halil, the janitor who was always friendly, looked astonished. His face seemed to tell if there was something wrong with this condition.

And me? I tried my hardest to convince myself that everything would be okay.

While in the classroom there was Elisha and his gang, the naughty girl was always looking for trouble with other children just because of one reason she had, she said, he was the son of the ruler at the school where we studied. Elisa is the daughter of the foundation owner.

We cannot choose from the womb who we are born into, but we can choose and decide to be good or bad. And we should be kind even if we are born with a golden spoon in hand. Indeed, the value of a human being will be seen if he humanizes humans. On the contrary, he is worse than an animal if power makes him blind and deaf from his code to spread goodness.

"Caithy... Our queen has come, see her face? That face looks like a chicken butt. Bad and cute. No levels!" Elisha chirped his hair in front of my face as soon as Nissa and I stood in front of the classroom door. The smell of perfume emanating from his body made me close my nose. I don't know how much she used to the point that I felt dizzy smelling her scent.

"Why did you close your nose? Do you think I'm trash? Do you think I'm so rotten? Staring at your face really made my blood boil even more!"

Hhhuuuuhhhhhhh!

I throw a rough breath, it feels very annoying to have to serve the sucker Elisa when I myself feel worried about Mama and Papa.

"Didn't you hear me? I was talking to you?" Elisha shouted in a high voice, he clasped my arm hard. It was so hard I could feel the pain. Slowly I took a deep breath then threw it rough from the lips. I tried to hold back my anger so as not to scold her. Why did the lame Elisha wake up the sleeping lion?

"Remove your hands off me! I'm not someone you can easily beat with your rude attitude. You really are a shameless girl, if I ignore you it means I don't like being around you, I don't like being involved with you and I don't like staring at your angry face. Let me alone princess, at least just for today." I held both hands in front of my chest while looking at Elisha with a sharp look.

That pretty face depicts hatred. I don't know what the hell I did until the kid got mad at me? As I recall, I never disturbed his peaceful life. Why did he ruin my life? I just want to learn and have fun with people who love me, not spend my day in hate.

I don't know why my heart felt the pain today. Wounds that I myself do not know where they came from. And for the first time I showed my grumpy nature in front of the class. That's why I asked Elisha not to harass me, I didn't want to hurt anyone with my words and actions.

Ma's... Pa... Where are you guys? Quickly come. Half an hour later graduation will begin. I muttered to myself as I stared at my classmates' faces in turn, those faces looking astonished, a second later, they started smiling proudly because I had taught Elisha the spoiled girl and her war.
