Courage And Self - Esteem
Episode 21
When Adrian steps in with Rico, Putra and Ikhsan, a woman with a tiny, pointy nose emboldens to pursue their steps. He aligned the position with Adrian, right next to the man.
“Eh, Adrian. I'm ready, right, test today?” the woman asked with a smile that was poured over Adrian, but unfortunately could not make Adrian sweet to her.
Yes, this is the first time the woman has ventured to talk to the man. In fact, previously he only saw Adrian from a distance. Sometimes the words never come out of his mouth.
“Udah.”
“Oh. I learned, right?” ask the woman again, her smile still expanding.
“Udah.”
Due to Adrian's short, expressionless answers, Rico to his right elbowed Adrian's arm. The cold man did not understand the actions taken by Rico, then ignored him.
Rico raised one corner of his lips.
“Eh, I first, yes. My room is upstairs.” The woman turned to the left and climbed the stairs.

Several months of exams passed, today so crowded with students flocking to the notice board. Exactly, they were busy looking for their respective names on the graduation announcement sheet of Bina Bangsa Junior High School.
The son first found his name emblazoned with the description “lulus” so out of the crowd, then shouted with excitement. Meanwhile, Rico and Ikhsan were still busy searching, after a while, he found also his name, which was, then in the written statement column “lulus” as well as Ikhsan who found his name and then in the written statement column "pass".
Truly today is the happiest day for all IX grade students without exception. Afterwards, they were gathered by the teachers in the field to listen to the announcement. When he entered the line, Rico, Putra and Ikhsan dyed looking for the face or at least Adrian's nose. But they did not find.
Because they were too focused on looking behind, they did not see that Adrian had been standing in front along with the teachers. Of course, Rico, Putra and Ikhsan who saw that thought about what the teachers would announce so Adrian was in front with them.
“Alright, Children. Please shut up and listen. I congratulate all of you on graduating class IX students. Today, you are our pride because none of you did not graduate. You all graduated with pretty good results.”
Everyone on the ground clapped, as did the teachers accompanying the Headmaster.
“There is another most encouraging announcement, as well as moving and heartwarming the name of the school. That in today, one of the students of Grade IX A ranked first from the results of the School End Examination in this city. With pride, I congratulate Adrian Mahesa Putra for graduating with a very perfect grade beyond our expectations.”
Back the applause echoed, this time more crowded than ever before. Adrian bowed with a flat face— mediocre—even after getting first place which score perfect on the End of School Exam. Even so, women are increasingly made to want to have a handsome man who is also a genius.
Regrets were present one by one in the minds of the students who had once mercilessly bullied the first ranker's man. They were so ashamed of themselves that they demeaned someone who was the pride of the school
