Vica

Aunt Lina

In the room of the female SMU principal, there was a great debate between Vika and the principal.

"Sorry mom, I told my mom from the beginning that I don't like group learning. So I can't take a group race like that!” Obviously Vika, he did not mean to be disrespectful, he also knew the intention of the principal to do so. But he only wanted the principal to keep his promise. Promise that the headmaster will allow Vika an individual race.

“But you can't keep it that way, Vika. I understand that all this time you are still dealing with the school environment. But it's been almost a semester, you can't keep being alone. From now on you should be able to learn in groups, you should take sports lessons and you should be able to hang out with your friends, or with forced mother.” the principal can not continue his words.

“Mommy wants to revoke my scholarship?” Vika continued then fell silent for a moment waiting for the answer from the principal, “Please ma'am, I don't mind! I will pay my tuition starting this month. Then excuse me!” Continued Vika, he had already earned income from his part-time job as a writer, he participated in various writing competitions and got a job offer from one of the competition blogs he sold.

The headmaster looked surprised by what Vika said.

"Oiya ma'am, one more thing, can you use someone else's name when the announcement of the race winner is announced this Friday?” His love then, he really did not want to be the center of attention, for a year of school here he tried his best so that his mistakes did not repeat.

“What do you mean? That is your right as the winner of the race, mother.”.

“Please ma'am,” Pinta Vika very, he was forced to cut off the words of the principal, “I'm sorry!” he said he then left, but his steps stopped when he saw a middle-aged woman he knew behind the door he opened.

“Vika!” The woman was shocked.

“How are aunty?” Said Vika trying as quietly as possible, he was very surprised, but he could not show it to his aunt, Doctor Lina.

“You go to school here?” Asked the woman who turned out to be his aunt Vika did not believe that he saw his nephew –Vika- here.

Vika just nodded, she felt there was nothing she needed to say to her aunt.

“Yeah... Why don't you call aunt?” He tries to start a conversation.

“I didn't know that aunt lived in this city.” Say Vika, “Moreover stay with this school.” He greeted in a small tone, recalling the headmaster's conversation on the phone about the arrival of the school committee chairman. “I should know that my hearing is very good!” Inner Vika remembers she felt she had heard the voice of the caller.

“Em, aunty and om have been living in this city for a year. Don't forget to stop by the house sometime!” Said Aunt, can not be denied from his face he was very happy to meet Vika, his favorite nephew who he had been looking for is now in front of him.

“Then where do you live?” Ask aunty curious, “Mother, Aldo and Grandma how are they?” He asked because Vika did not answer.

Vika smiled coldly, “Didn't auntie know more about it?” Ask Vika, “I'm pretty sure, that aunt just wants to know what's on my mind now.” Asked then shortly before her aunt would say anything, Lina's doctor was a general surgeon, who had studied psychology, so Vika knew the meaning of the questions she was getting.

“Vik..”.

“Tante, If only I knew aunt lived in this city, of course I would not come here, let alone attend this school!” Connect Vika then move to the headmaster who was sitting, “Sorry ma'am, about the race that I said earlier. If you keep registering me, it would be better if you take me out of this school because I will never take part in that race. Let alone the advice you gave earlier, I.”.

“Vika!” Aunt Vika's voice was rising, she could not believe that her nephew was acting like that to a schoolmaster.

“Tante, I hope aunt doesn't interfere in my affairs!” Vika said trying to clear her mind and then left but again her steps stopped.

“Vika, we can talk about it carefully Vika, we can solve everything. But you have to listen to auntie!” Say soft Aunt, “Tante promise will try your best, mother too. You know how worried your mother is? So...”

“If aunt knows it, better aunt does not say the same mother, if I am here!” Say Vika, “Then I excuse you, sorry for my disrespect!” this time Vika really left while her aunt was confused to have to say much less. He regretted that because it had forced Vika like that at their first meeting which he never planned, he really regretted.

“What really happened Lin?” Ask the Principal on Aunt Vika –Lina-who is now sitting on the sofa, “You know Vika?” Ask later.

“Nephew?” Hearing what his best friend said, the headmaster was very surprised, many questions that appeared in his mind about Vika, how could someone like Vika... His mind was deep but he immediately deleted such a question. Can't, think objective An. You have to think objectively. He tried to convince himself.

“Oiya An, once Vika was expelled from her School, she did not have Izajah then how could she possibly get into this school?” Asked Lina to the headmaster of –Ana-while calming herself down, she should be thinking clearly now, she should know about Vika now, He thought.

“Ejected?” Ana's confused.

“Yes, she was expelled for something!” Lina replied confused as to what to say.

“I know he signed in with Izajah complete through self test and got the biggest score!” Clear Head.

“Large?" Lina was confused, "Wait, I know Vika from small, her value is above average, but to get the biggest value.” Lina hesitated because she was very knowledgeable about the value ability of her nephew.

“But his grades at the time of the entrance exam were perfect, he actually got perfect grades in all subjects and got a full scholarship from the school.” Ana's words removed doubt from Lina's mind.

“Scholarships yes. Could it be because of that?” Inner Lina then she sat in the guest seat of the room.

“What really happened Lin?” Ana is curious about Lina's attitude, but Lina remains silent, “I honestly have a lot of questions about Vika, but I don't know who to ask. Vika's parents, I really don't understand, every time I ask Vika to bring her parents to school she always says that they can't come.” Anna said confusedly, “His attitude, his behavior, I don't know how else to deal with it!” Anna then sat down next to Lina.

“What does he do?” Lina wondered why Anna looked so desperate because of Vika.

“He always keeps his distance from his friends, also gets a reprimand from the teachers because he always does group tasks alone, especially...from the gym teacher because he has never once taken an olaraga class since entering this school.” Obviously Anna, “At first I thought he was doing that because it was difficult to adapt to his new environment, but it's the end of the semester. I can't tolerate his attitude anymore even though he helped a lot for this school by winning some school olympics, but.” The link is out of words.

While Lina who heard him continued to digest what his best friend said, he actually digested every word Anna said, but he did not understand at all.

“Lin, what really happened to him? She...was she expelled from her old school due to the same problem?” Anna asked hoping she would find a bright spot for Vika's troubles.

But Lina did not reply, she was still struggling with her inner self.

“Then his parents, why did they not come to this school even though we have sent his official invitation!” Connect Anna.

“Lin, Lina!” Anna tried to resuscitate Lina who continued to struggle with her mind, “I have to know what really happened first until she behaved like that. Me, I want to help him.” She said as Lina realized her existence and questions.

“I don't know how to!” Lina's confused.

“Then tell me and I will try to help as much as possible!” Anna's words convinced Lina.

“I've been looking for him for three years, we lost contact with him, we're almost desperate to find him. But thank God, I finally found it, I, will not let it go again!” Lina said in her day, she was really happy, but it was undeniable that she was also sad because Vika was now different from what she was.

“Vika, she is the son of my sister –Varado-and the first granddaughter in our extended family. Everyone welcomed Vika's birth with Joy, and raised her affectionately until Vika grew into a submissive and kind daughter, she was cheerful, sociable to have many friends.” Lina said, while Anna continued to listen to Lina's story.

“His departure from home was started by his hobby on football passed down by his own father. Since childhood he and his father loved watching football matches, until he attended club activities in elementary school. Then one day when he and his father wanted to watch a football match at the stadium*** suddenly the stadium collapsed due to the earthquake and his father died while protecting it from the rubble. At that time even though sadness hit our family, we were able to handle it quickly and Vika could also accept it despite the weight. Yes, that was all he could do because back then he was an older brother of a cute baby boy. She loved her sister very much, she raised her sister well. But during the first semester in the 2nd grade of Junior High, he was suddenly expelled, and that made him very sad. Our family honestly did not really understand why he was expelled from school. At that time the school only told that Vika was the cause of her best friend –Shila- became comatose, so many parents who wanted Vika expelled because they did not want their children to be victims like Shila. Vika was also issued disrespectfully.” Lina was at a loss for words.

“My family and I certainly do not accept the accusation. We forced the school to investigate, believing it was a misunderstanding. And we also forced Vika to tell him the real thing that happened but she was silent a thousand languages. At that time my mother, Vika's grandmother was angry because of her silence and she also continued to confine herself in the room, for a week she continued to confine herself until...” Lina's thoughts drift to the scene when Vika was evicted from home last year.
