Two weeks of long holidays seemed to be enough for Ditha, now it was time for her to return to school. The learning activities started today. Seen from the aura of cheerfulness of his classmates. Unlike his friend Ditha he looks gloomy today.
"Clau .. lu why?" ask Ditha when she gets to class.
Claudia did not answer. Ditha approached him and sat down next to Claudia.
"Tell Clau, if you have a problem" said Ditha.
Kingggggg! Kingggggg!
The first lesson hour has sounded, today there is no flag ceremony because this morning in the rain so that it causes a lot of puddles in the school field. Claudia suddenly hugged Ditha suddenly it made Ditha stunned.
"Adel ... Adel where is Clau? Didn't he come in today?" ask Ditha.
Claudia shook her head.
What the hell is this? Don't-jang— Inner Ditha.
"Congratulations, morning everyone ...," said the teacher of Mathematics.
Claudia let go of her embrace as she heard the voice of her Master.
"Good morning, Mother ...," replied in unison all residents of Class 10 IPA 3.
"A lot of people didn't come in today?" the Master asked as he looked at the occupants of the classroom there were only a few people present today.
"Perhaps, less time Bu has off," said Zidan.
"Two weeks is less, that includes a long time," said the Master.
Not wanting to continue the problem of absence of his students, the Mathematics Teacher immediately began his study material today.
...ΩΩΩ...
The cold that greeted this morning made some people lazy to travel where including going to work. As experienced by Ezra he was very lazy today to get out of his bed because, the weather today is cloudy and added cold weather makes Ezra still hiding in his thick blanket.
Several times his phone rang but, he did not respond to it. Until where Lula arrived was able to wake his son.
"Your phone keeps sounding Zra from earlier," Lula told Ezra.
"The phone's turned away from the office, Mah," Ezra replied with a typical sound of people waking up.
"Let's see who knows about Rinda" said Lula.
Ezra took his phone and checked the history of missed calls on his phone. And it turns out Rinda's boyfriend called her a few times.
"Yes, Mah. Rinda called," said Ezra.
"Call back who knows what's important" Lula said. Then, Lula left Ezra's room.
Ezra called Rinda because he was wondering if Rinda had contacted him. After connecting, a voice sounded from the other end there.
"Why is Rin so fast?" ask Ezra.
"I can't wait to see you, Zra" replied Rinda.
"But you're not finished yet? Later if all is finished then you return to Indonesia," said Ezra.
"I miss Zra, aren't you the same as me?"
"We can still call and video call dear" said Ezra.
"But I want to see you. Or are you here?"
"I'm busy taking care of the office baby, there's no time to go there yet."
"Well, I went there, right? If we're both busy, when's the time to be alone?"
"If you come here later I don't have time for you, isn't that the same?"
"Why would I wait for you. I also ... want to say something important," said Rinda.
"It matters? What's important?"
"Well if I get there, yeah."
"Okay, you'll be told if you really want to come here."
"Love you too."
...ΩΩΩ...
Claudia and Ditha are on the rooftop of the school they both look like they want to talk seriously.
"What do you want to say Clau?"
"On Adel .. Tha."
"Why, Adel?"
"He's not going to school here tomorrow anymore" Claudia said.
"Huh? How can? I mean, why did he change schools?"
"Both of her parents divorced Tha." Claudia looked at Ditha. "And she was invited by her Mom to live abroad on the grounds that her Mom wanted to forget the memories with her ex-husband in Indonesia."
Ditha covered her mouth with her hands. "Divorce?"
Claudia nodded her head. "From tomorrow Adel is officially not in school here again and the plane carrying Adel and Mama is out of the country, will take off this afternoon as well" explained Claudia.
"Why did you just tell me the cave anyway? Adel also why don't you tell me about the cave?" ditha asked a little emotion.
"Call just on the phone via Whats'App Tha. He chats cave doang no call and no video call either."
Ditha sat in the chair on the rooftop.
"Why are so many parents divorced? Do they not think about their children? What if his son gets mental, especially his son is still a child who doesn't know anything."
Ditha vented her emotions in front of Claudia, Claudia approached Ditha and hugged her. He felt very close to his friend. He could feel what Ditha felt even though he did not.
"We were born into a different family life. The story and the path of life are different. Some are lucky and unlucky. So we are taught always to be grateful in everything we have today. If it is not possible, we will experience what they are going through."
Ditha shed tears and every time Ditha talked about her parents Ditha would always remember her parents. How can parents out there part with unreasonable reasons? So that the child is the victim of selfishness from both parents. The child is not wrong. However, his parents separated without thinking that they already had a child in which their flesh and blood were both.
"Adel must need us at this time Clau" said Ditha on the sidelines crying.
Claudia nodded her head. "Yes, he definitely needs someone to strengthen himself. You want to go to his house?"
Ditha got up from her seat and wiped off the tear marks on her cheek. "What now? Take a break."
"But can you?"
"Later the cave that said, the picket master is Mr David, right?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Ditha heads to the office to ask her picket Master for permission to return home. Meanwhile, Claudia chose to enter the classroom. When he arrived at Ditha's office, he approached Mr. David.
"Excuse me, sir," said Ditha.
David raised his head. "Eh, Ditha. What's up?"
"I want permission to go home, sir" said Ditha.
"Going home? Any issues?"
Ditha also tells the truth who knows with him honestly Mr. David wants to allow it.
"All right, you can go home."
"Really, Sir?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Ditha smile. "Thank you, sir. David is very nice."
"Am I ever bad?"
Ditha. "Never before, sir. If so I go first Sir," said Ditha who was immediately agreed by Mr. David.
Ditha and Claudia head straight to Adel's house after picking up her own bag in the classroom.
