I'm Just a Figurant

I'm Just a Figurant
Ch 2 - First Address


He borrowed my type-X. Wanted


I think I'm museumin' it. That thing touched his hand. Taste


I still can't believe the guy wants to talk to me.


"Where are you from Junior High? Coco


I've never looked at you?"


"Eh, um...Uh..." I


bewildered. The words I want to say cannot come out. But that man only


I'm asking a general question, which everyone can answer.


"You're not from Junior X?


(Calling Junior High in my city). I shook my head. "Oh deserved


I've never seen you. We come from different Junior High." I


nodding his head, like a buffalo that is in the middle of matching his nose.


"Know Me Alex. Who


your name?"


"Eh eum's..." My tongue


still kelu. I want to condemn my own stupidity.


"Hey, I made you not


delicious huh? I won't bother you anymore. Thanks for the typeX." Men


it turned back to the front.


I want to put my hand out.


Clap that shoulder to face me. But of course it's only in


just wishful thinking. I'm too cowardly to do it.


For the next few days,


he really ignored me. It seems like she forgot that I am a girl


the back of his chair. I'm resigned. Again I can only stare


his back.


It's okay he ignored me.


At least I can still stare at his back.


This incident lasted for


few months. Finally came during the exam. FYI (For Your Information),


my class consists of 40 people. And the sitting arrangement in the exam is in accordance with


massage number in absent.


Maybe luck is


sided with me. Again he sat in front of my bench. How strange. Her name


it starts with the letter "A", while my name is the letter "K",


how could our seats be close like this? Ah, again I


I think God is very good to me. God knows I can't have it, though,


so God tried to make it easier for me to look at him.


Back to exam day. Day


the first exam there are 2 subjects, namely biology and physics. For matpel


biology, I can handle it because basically I love a matpel. In order to


second matpel, I'm dead flea. I hate math, physics and chemistry. I


I've learned desperately, but this little brain of mine can't


absorbing it. This time too.


I almost cried reading


things I don't know the answer to. I want to count the numbers


buttoned up my shirt and wrote the answer. In the midst of my despair, men are 99%


turn towards me.


"You're done?"


tanyakanya. I shook my head with my eyes. She smiled


little one sees me so pitiful. Not a smile of ridicule, just a smile


just funny. He's back facing forward. I breathe heavily.


Hah, definitely the semester exam time


this I'll get the lowest score again. I thought with sadness.


Five minutes passed. Suddenly


without turning around, the man stuck out his hand. Gave me a small piece of paper.


I was wondering, what is the content of the paper?


With a thumping heart, I


unlock it. My eyes immediately widened as soon as I saw the answer on the paper.


The man wrote the numbers 1-50. And almost all of those numbers are filled in. Maybe only


there are 3-4 numbers that have not been filled. Below it is a note: which has not been filled in,


I don't know the answer.


Huh huh? This guy is serious


giving cheats? Is this not a trap? What exactly is the purpose?


My brain thinks, but I don't find an answer. I finally resigned. I


write down all the answers he gave. I just wish the guy hadn't


framed me.


The exam time is over. All


answer sheets must be collected. While passing by the man, I


stared at him. The man smiled sweetly. It melts like seeing it


smile like that.


I wrote on a small piece of paper. Doubtfully I'm shuffling his shoulders.


She's looking. I quickly gave the paper and ran out of it


chamber. I'm so embarrassed. The content of the paper was actually very simple, only


thanksgiving. But I can't see him reading it.


The days continue. Him


being consistent helps me. Especially in the three lessons I couldn't afford


ahold. Over time, I began to talk to him.


"Whose name?"


tanyakanya.


"I'm-i'm Khansa..."


"Where are you from Junior High?"


"SMP X." (The SMP


not famous and located in the suburbs)


"Where's that?" tannya


bewildered. Naturally he did not know the SMP I called. Indeed I am from


SMP is not famous.


I'm trying to explain


as best I can. He nodded, whether he understood it or not.


"You're alone or there


another friend?"


"I'm alone..."


"Oh.just fine."


"Why-deservedly?"


"You always look


by himself." he said muttering.


"Lex, let's go to the cafeteria."


Suddenly a group of Alex's friends arrive. Forcing Alex to follow them.


Alex went with them. Leaving me back alone.


I put my hand on


tabletop. Make it a cushion. My stomach is hungry, but I'm trying to


hold it. I hope by sleeping in the break hours, will delay


my hungry.


If anyone is wondering,


why don't I just go to the cafeteria and buy some food? The answer is of course


because I don't have any money. I go to school sometimes riding a bike, but


more among my father who is a profession as a freight driver.


Actually, after his death


My mother, I replaced her position in household affairs. I wake up


dawn for cooking, washing clothes, washing dishes, uniform irons and bathing


my sister is still in 2nd grade. Because of my routine in the morning, no


I rarely get a chance to have breakfast. By noon my stomach will be


I feel hungry, just like I did this afternoon.


I just wish I could


home soon. I want to eat a lot. Suddenly the smell of food stinks


my nose. I looked for the source of the smell.


Apparently someone brought


food into class. I inhaled the smell for a long time. Expect with


doing something like that will drive away my hunger.


My stomach is sounding louder.


Signs increasingly struggling to fill the food. I turned my face away. Returnees


put my face on the table. My tears suddenly flowed.


"If Mother had not


die, I will definitely not starve like this. Mom would definitely


bring me provisions. Cooking, washing and taking care of my sister for me.


Suppose..." Hah, too many swipes in my life. I miss


my mum. I really miss him. And I'm crying.


A very uncool story. From


a 15 year old boy. Sometimes I wonder if my life will be


be different if I was born a rich boy?


But thoughts like that


cuticle. I should be grateful. Still given a father who


responsible and cute little sister.


Sometimes I feel funny


myself. How can I think of the problem of love when in the affairs of the stomach I still


not full?


Love is far from


my grasp. But in my little heart, I really hope that love comes


to me.
