Dika and I sat on the bridge we were far from the location. We were long silent to each other, Dika seemed to be bowed lethargic.
"Why did you get here? you're not in school?" much
"So, I seem to be tired of going to school." she replied.
"What are you talking about? why are you still in contact with them?" just pissed
"I feel guilty about you, you just walk away. You shouldn't have admitted my actions, I should have been expelled from school." said Dika
"Already dik, I'm fine.I'm fine here.." I argue
"Why are you still living like this? didn't I tell you to transfer schools here and we started the same new life.." I added again.
"What started it? losers like us everywhere will always be like this, wherever we won't be considered anyone, even if our uniforms are new.Our lives have been ruined since we were born huh," he cut it clean while glancing at my uniform, i'm speechless.
Standing up, "Go home, I will also go home by bus.."
Even when it just passed, my heart ached to hear Dika's words. We've almost always been a monthly month at school since Elementary School,
We grew up together with a story that was almost similar, just as lonely, just as unwelcome as its existence. However, is it true that our lives have been ruined since birth???
'Can't I go to school this time?' I was in my heart to take the bus to school.

At Nadia's house
#Nadia#
I was singing my lips along the street of the house complex, upset by the attitude of Arya who just left earlier.
"That's how Arya is, you delinquents have no feelings" I grumbled
'plek'
"Look, she just got home?" mama kissed the top of my head I was confused
"What's mah, ko tumben?" ask me confused
"You passed the math test in his private Mr. Haykal, tomorrow you can follow his class." replied Mama's fire I scrunched my forehead
"I graduated?" I can't believe Mama nodded happily
"There's Moses' mom and the other mom they want to congratulate you, let's get a dinner shirt.."
He led me to the dinner table. I saw Mami Moses and 3 other mothers there.
"Eh, Nadia, it's getting pretty." said Mami Moses, I smiled stiffly.
"Congratulations, you're on the math team, Mr. Haykal.." he said.
"This is all thanks to Jeng Lio, Nadia could not be accepted if not Jeng Liona's approval. I'm very grateful."
"Ah, Jeng Rita can. That's because Nadia also did a good job of the test.."
'Arrghht' murmured in my heart, it felt like I was so sick of being in the middle of them.
Accidentally, Mami Moses nudged the tea on the table to make the floor and her feet wet, Mama swiftly went under to clean it.
My eyes were wide open, barely believing what Mama was doing. I'm pissed I just left, Mama wants to catch up but instead sucked up Table.

'Braaak'
I closed the door of the room violently crying over the incident. Never finished thinking Mama can lick Mami Moses up like this
Mama came to my room, my,
"Hey, why are you leaving? " his question was holding the aching top of his head
"Mom why do I do this? Mama's outrageous, this is so embarrassing. Why did Mama clean up the spilled water on Aunt Lio's foot?" tanyaku sobbing isak
"Sttt, shut up.. You think Mama would do that, huh? all this to you know, Mama can do even crazier things about your future.."
"Well, I told you I could take care of it myself, I don't need any tutoring!" I still sob sob sob sobs
"Where can Mama biarin you learn by yourself, where can you enter the UI if not this way. Let's get out again, apologize to them.." Mom pulled my hand
"I don't want to!!" answer me
Mama glared at me, and pulling rough my arms I went back crying sobbing sobbing out of the room.
