Two Among the Hundred

The clock shows at 05.10, usually at this time I am still at home to help Mom work or relax before leaving school. However, today I decided to leave early, I asked Dad to take me.

Not until fifteen minutes, I have arrived at school, although it is still very early, the school gate is open. There was a Security Guard there, I smiled a little to say hello and I got a smile back from him.

Walking according to the hallway of the school lobby, it is still a bit dark because the sunlight has not fully come out. I did not intend to go straight into the classroom, but turned the direction towards the cafeteria. I want to at least buy a snack or a soft drink.

Like someone had sat on one of the canteen benches, among dozens of benches there was only one person who occupied it. From a distance it looks faint, because the light is still minimal, and the position of the lamp is less precise so that it interferes with vision.

I was curious and a little closer. Oh, it's just so time.

" Morning... Arfa "

I wanted to start the greeting because he was still focused on the hape in his hand and did not pay attention around.

" Do you know the benefits and meaning of a very Noble Salutation? "

He did not even answer my morning greetings, instead turning to speak formally to me. Yes, it seems that I was wrong, and repeated my greeting with a greeting. After the greeting came out of my mouth, he answered it more perfectly.

"Tumben left early in the morning, is the girl in front of me lonely until she does not feel at home for long?"

I don't know why, but it seems like he said it like it wasn't to offend me, more like saying someone's harsh reality and throwing it at someone else.

"That's it, my relationship is not as rich as that "

" good... "

I will ignore this ongoing topic. I want to ask about yesterday's incident, because the situation is quiet even though there are one or two students who started to arrive, I think for the next few minutes the students will not come to the canton this morning. In fact, there were only two of us at the moment, and a few canteen guards in the far corner.

" She, I want to talk about the incident. I'm there too, I want it, you what the Irwan can do? Mr. Ahyar is taking diem"

" I didn't know what to say, I came when Mr. Ahyar was called and I was in the teacher's room, I went out and I saw the crowd in front of the class "

Regardless of my call using 'Mas' this person immediately answered the question. Putting down the phone he was using, and then taking the instant coffee box he was about to drink, he continued:

"For the good of the Irwan also not to be bullied or mistreated after the incident, I and Mr. Ahyar make an excuse that is easily accepted by students"

Arfa kept telling me about yesterday's events. Apparently Arfa and Mr. Ahyar drove Irwan home that day, just as I did not see Arfa and Pak Ahyar's lesson hours were empty yesterday, it turned out that way.

"Gue at Irwan's house long enough, until the new abis magrib returned ".

Okay, now answered why Pak Ahyar's lesson hours were empty yesterday, it turns out he was not in place.

As a whisper came and flashed through my head, I matched Arfa's lip movements yesterday with a word, and I assumed that she said 'Go'.

'Huh?' the word in my mind stopped the thought of that lip movement. 'Why do I think of kek gini, not rich I usually deh'. I feel awkward about myself, because usually I'm not like this. Anyway, where did the whisper that arrived cross my head earlier?

Some students began to come past us, and I ended this conversation with a light greeting, he answered my light greeting well. I like the response from him, yes I like that response.

According to information from the next class, today when Pak Ahyar clock takes place, he discussed a little yesterday. He said that there is nothing to be afraid of, the possibility of yesterday Irwan sick from fatigue, so he did not focus.

He continued that indeed the Irwan family was experiencing severe problems, so it was only natural that their children had come to think about the family problem and carried over to school. So this is what Arfa meant? An excuse?.

During the second break, the students went out to the kantin or elsewhere, most of course to the place of school worship because it was falling time. While walking, I saw Irwan with his classmates, they were joking like teenagers in general. I mean they're teenagers.

We passed each other, as we were about to take off our shoes, Irwan began a conversation with me directly. As he sat down, he looked at me, and said:

" Yuli, right? "

"Yes, why deck? how do you know the name of my brother? "

" Sister Yuli is senior at the Red Cross escul right? If the ceremony you often wear PMR uniforms and stand guard behind the ceremonial row. I've seen Kaka a lot, and I've got a classmate who's in PMR "

I didn't even pay much attention to it. I follow the PMR only because the student is obliged to follow at least one eskul, and I choose PMR. Not that I'm not serious about it, when I receive related material and learning, I'm serious about learning as well.

" If there's any time we can't talk, brother? I felt that Brother had something in common with Me now "

I didn't feel like I had to turn down a request from the underclassmen.

"Later after school also Kaka free, no business wants anything, maybe to the eskul room to check something, abis it hopefully, because third grade so should not be too focused on eskul now. If you want to talk later you can "

" Oh, okay Brother. Then I'll come to Kaka for free time"

After that Irwan invited me to hurry because the worship time had been proclaimed. I smiled at the advice.

As soon as I entered the worship room, it seems that Arfa stood at the front of the shaf and followed by other students. Even some of our teachers were behind him.

I'm afraid Arfa's voice isn't going back here because it's far enough, but it seems like it's just a mere worry. As soon as he moved, the sound he released was quite loud until the back here even without a loudspeaker though.

Meanwhile, on our part the women there are some women who do not follow the worship, well I know that person, he did follow the Religious Eskul and was responsible for a place of worship like this. So, even if he cannot follow because of an obstacle, he can still be present to prepare for everything. He is my very good friend.

I wouldn't be surprised either, since she only noticed Arfa from inside here. Seeing his behavior I smiled.
