Happiness is Hard
School

*Morning of the day

"Audy.. Rici's.. Alan.. Come on, breakfast!! What time have you guys not been down yet?!!" my mother shouted from the kitchen.

Me and the others rushed down to the kitchen. There was my mother and grandmother waiting for us to come down for breakfast together.

When I was about to take the breakfast that had been prepared suddenly, Sister Audy said she would go straight to the office, "Well.. Audy left first, you're gonna be late, afraid to miss the bus."

"Want to be taken with me??" ask dad.

"Ga do well.. Audy would rather take the bus, anyway later ngerepotin dad because the office Audy's the opposite direction." He answered with a sweet smile.

Then he looked at me and Alan with a sharp look. "Aren't you going now?? Look at the time it's been mepet, you may miss the bus later."

"There is a father who won't be late hahaha" Alan replied with a mocking laugh.

"You two will already get a shuttle facility from school so you don't need anterin father.. I'm leaving late!!" snapped dad.

Alan and I hurried to school, and we walked with Audy to the bus stop. After I got out of the house I felt very depressed because people's eyes were always on us, until some people approached my brother.

"Wahh Audy is always pretty huh.. Want to go to work?" ask one of the people who stopped us.

"Yes ma'am, I want to go to work haha" she replied with a very sweet smile.

The people who saw Audy's smile immediately fell silent because they were amazed by her beauty. Many people started coming towards us after it made the road tightly closed.

"Don't Audy how about getting married to a mother's son? She's PNS you must have Audy's life assured.. Your children will also be beautiful like Audy.."

"Later to think about it mom. haha. because now I just focus on working first." replied Audy.

"Well, it's time for you to get married.. After all, the woman should be at home and the man who works. If you're still focused on work what if Alan is married to a second child mother, hmm??" asked the man to Alan, Alan who heard that was shocked.

"Eh? Me? Not the second child of a 5-year-old mother? I'm 12 years old" Alan explained.

"What a difference, it's just that the age difference is far better huh haha." the statement made everyone laugh and only we didn't laugh.

Sometimes I feel so grateful to have such an ordinary face when compared to my Big Brother and sister, so I don't waste time answering the questions of everyone like them. But, when I saw the face of big brother it seemed like his patience was almost exhausted because now his white face had already turned red.

I immediately looked for a gap to get out of the crowd of people as soon as the bus was coming, but the crowd was too dense to get out to the point that I asked Audy for help for the first time.

"Sister.. Let's be late, brother won't be late for the office, right?" I made a silence in that crowd.

"Ahh really too.. Rici same Alan again rush huh. If so I'm the same my sister left first yes mothers." pamitnya rush.

They started to open the way for us, although they were all quiet when I was there but after the three of us moved away they started to whisper. And I also know that they're talking about me.

After we moved away and the residents did not look my brother began to show the true nature behind his beautiful face.

"Well, that guy really has a lot of nicotine!!! The son of PNS said?!! Even my salary is bigger than his son's salary!! And what did he say? that woman is mending at home?!! He thought we were living in what ancient times?!! After all who wants to marry the same guy like a basket, DISGUST!!!" grumpy Audy while ruffling her hair annoyed.

Alan who was equally upset also said to Audy's sister, "So you guys were horrified when he said I married his second child?!! Even now I still feel it!"

"But you guys, we don't think twice. I thought you were used to it." I said.

"You can say that because you don't know so we are!! Because your face is the most common among us!" sister Audy snapped at me followed by Alan's nod of agreeing sign.

"Well, I'm also grateful to have a normal face like this so I don't waste time answering questions of their kayaks." I replied as I left them to enter the Bus that just arrived.

At the school gate

After getting off the school bus I walked towards the school gate. Seeing the students going to school makes my heart feel warm because this is where I feel appreciated.

While I was looking around suddenly there was someone pulling my hand and holding her, "RICI!!!! Morning.. have you had breakfast??" ask him.

"Udah was at home."

"Rici you've done the math yet? I haven't. huhu.." whine.

"Udah.it's a task from last week, why not?"

"Rici knows that I don't do math, I want to know the answer to Rici... Pliss.."

"Later in class."

"Yeyyyyy!!!! Thanks Rici!!! You are the best friend." he said while giving love on his finger to me.

...She was a friend of mine named Lyvia Anastacia. She is one of the famous people in this school because of her beauty and timidity. Many men in this school liked him because he was being so spoiled. We were friends because he was the son of a friend of my deceased mother so I was told to befriend him....

When I entered the classroom many people, especially the men who were watching us, this was because Livy had always held my hand from the gate.

"Livy.. You can take my hand off? we're in class." I said as I tried to take my hand off him.

"Rici don't want to join me? I am sad when we are the best friend." he replied while wearing a sad expression that made other children look sharply at me.

"It's not what I mean, Livy. I just wanna put-"

My words were cut because my other friend slammed the classroom door when I entered the room.

"Dude!!! Livy Lo can get out of my chair?!! Why do you always sit in my place anyway!! Move!!" His impact frightened Livy and immediately stood up from the chair.

"What's Lo all wiry?!! Is something funny?! And Lo why is it still here?!!" his words made all the children in the class take their eyes off us.

"Don't get mad Fel.he's waiting for my math notes." I replied, calming Felly down while picking up the notebook in the bag.

"What a fool is Beatrice?!! And make lo Livy!! This is your job from last week and you still haven't done it?!!! Back to your chair!!" the snapping made Livy instantly return to her seat while grumbling.

"Beatrice!! You're not so good people! Not everyone can be good!!"

"Haha yes understand and I also know you will definitely say that, Thanks.."

...This one is my closest friend named Fellicity Anneliese. He was also one of the famous people in the school, he was famous for his hard nature and his strong body. He had won a national Taekwondo championship, but since his parents died he did not continue the training and only focused on taking care of his sister and grandparents....

*Restime

After the bell rang indicating the break Livy immediately ran towards my seat, "Rici.... Let's go to the cafeteria.."

"Lo didn't see me?" ask Felly.

"Haha, look, let's go with us to Fell's cafeteria" he asked.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Let's see today's menu first" I replied.

"Eh Beatrice isn't that your boyfriend? What's he doing gathering there?" ask Felly curious.

"You know too."

"We went there yuu. it was exciting, besides I was also curious there was something." said Livy while pulling my hand and Felly towards the crowd.

As we headed towards the crowd it was suddenly dispersed by the teachers. The teachers looked annoyed and brought a long wooden ruler and brought some students who had been crowded there.

"Michael!! What's wrong with the race???" livy asked her but somehow her tone was as if she was acting cute in front of Michael.

"Livy what's going on here?? There was a student who deliberately spilled milk to other students so almost a fight.. Livy shouldn't be here getting scolded by the teacher?" obviously Michael told Livy that somehow made me amused to hear it.

"Ecchem.."

"Oh!! There's Rici too.. Where are you going? To the canteen, right? how come it's here?" ask him.

"It's okay I pulled Livy here because she was curious about the same problem earlier."

"Oh yaudah deh I went to the cafeteria first yes the same cement, bye all" he said while leaving us here.

"Sometimes I wonder if Michael is actually your boyfriend what Livy's girlfriend is really different treatment." asked Felly.

"I don't know either.."

"Ngga.. Michael and Rici are so romantic!!! If I was just treated as a doang theme." explained Livy quickly as if he did not want others to misunderstand.

...That guy was my girlfriend, his name was Michael Kenz. We've been dating since we were in 1st grade High School. We had a lot of time together but somehow lately he's been treating me like never before but I don't care about that because I trust him....

...Michael knew the condition of my family, but he accepted me for who I was and it made me like him. He always listens to my grievances, is always there when I need it and always comforts me when I have a problem. That's what makes me love it more....
