When I Was 17 Years

The mother came

In store

#Aryan#

I put my uniform in the locker room at the store, but my bag dropped and scattered down.

I put my stuff scattered, the handkerchief I put in the notebook poking out.

I felt the clean handkerchief Nadia was washing.

"I washed it and I ironed it.."

It was as if a shadow then as Nadia said like that appeared in my head. I'm sorry I shouldn't have been mad at him at the time.

I breathe deeply within.

"Nadia, I'm sorry." I didn't even dare to send her a whatsapp message.

"How is this???" my grumbling in my heart.

*****

Next day

I saw Nadia hassles carrying books from the direction of the perpus. I'll approach her soon.

"Let me bring you.." I cried as I took a pile of books in Nadia's hand

"No need!" awkward answer.

"It's okay." I said, and we went to class.

I put the book on the class podium, our eyes briefly exchanged glances. I stepped into my chair.

Moses glanced at me with a strange look.

"Temen temen this problem sheet for chemistry lessons yes." he shared a sheet about each front desk to be given a relay to the back.

*****

In the last lesson

Mr. Rian came to our class.

"Children before going home, there are additional English lessons from the Father 2 hours yes!"

"Sorry sir we have a study group schedule, can not take additional classes gaffer!" Moses raised his protest sign

"So you think your study group is more important than my extra class??" asked Mr. Rian a little sniffy.

Moses looks clumsy.

"But that's not a regular class sir" he replied.

'It's not Moses if he doesn't support bossy'

"Well, who wants to take the extra class, you raise your hand?"

Some children raised their hands, some who were silent would join Moses' study group, Me? just speechless. Mr. Rian looked at me, I scratched my temple.

"We're going to take an extra class" replied Nadia, Moses turned to her.

****

I accidentally went to Moses' study group located at the end of the corridor.

'Czech'

The door opened, and those inside were surprised by my presence.

"Arya, what are you doing here?" ask Moses who is sharing a question sheet.

I put my bag on one of the tables.

"Why? I can't join your study group?" ask me indifferently.

"But to get into this study group there is a test level. If you want to learn, I can teach you private.."

"Why should I test first? do you think I'm less smart?"

Dian and Karina laughed.

"Sorry if you are offended, you can join this study group. Please sit in the front seat.." Moses replied, but I took my bag and put it back on.

My plan was to play with his emotions.

"I'm sorry, I have to work." I replied, Moses looked at me, getting upset.

I took a few steps, but came back.

"Ohya Moses, isn't self-study so busy for you, that you're still first in school? why did you bother to make the group learn everything?" ask me again

Moses seemed clumsy to answer my question "Well, that's..."

"That's because Moses was a very good person, he wanted his friend to be a successful person as well!" Nino cut out Moses' confused answer.

"That's what it looks like, it's really hard to be you.." I laughed and then left the room.

When I was about to get out of the gate I saw her mother Nadia rush into the school, her face looked unfriendly.

Sure enough, Nadia's mother came to Nadia's class during Pak Rian's additional class.

'Tok tok tok'

"Excuse me sir." said the mother, Nadia widened her eyes.

"Yes mom? what's there to do?" ask Mr. Rian

"I'm Nadia's mother, there's a need for a moment with Nadia. Can I take Nadia out?"

Mr. Rian nodded in confusion.

Nadia went out with her mother, The Mama took her back to school.

"You're out of the tutoring, Mr Haykal, right?" ask Mama without saying anything.

Nadia nodded slowly.

"Are you crazy? Nadia are you really crazy, huh? do you know how Mama licked Moses' mom yesterday? you know Mama's acting like a waiter in front of her and the other mom's? why did you leave that class without telling Mama??" snapped Mama Nadia tiled tubi.

"Why did Mom just come to my class? it embarrassed me a lot." asked Nadia lowered her head.

"Then you say? say it again embarrassing??" the mother began to hit Nadia's arm hard. Nadia was so shocked that her mother reacted like this.
