57. GREAT TEACHERS

Something was different this morning at school. When I got to my classroom door, Ivan delivered a message,

"Will. Ms. Min said, rest later you go to the teacher's room meet him." This morning, Miss Min sent me a message? ck ck... Great, very diligent Bu Min. He had been thinking about his students' problems since morning.

"Why the hell, Wil. went back and forth mutely called Bu Min? What's the problem?" Ivan was wondering. He was indeed the most memorized about the calls from teachers to the students in the classroom.

"No, the data problem." I hope my answer will dampen Ivan's curiosity.

"Oh. There's a serious problem." Ivan passed. I'm heading for my seat.

The first two hours are IPA lessons.

"Kids, this time we'll learn about magnetism huh." Adi sir started the lesson.

"Yes, why don't you learn about inheritance again, sir?" Some children protest. Disillusioned. I remember, we learned about inheritance during IPA lessons last semester. That time was really exciting. We studied seriously, but a lot of comments of friends that invite laughter. For example, a comment about Bimo's curly hair, Some people find that Bimo's biological father could be his hair kribo. We had a lot of laughter at that time. Bimo we ledekpun laughs.

Even though we learned interspersed with laughter, there was still a lot of knowledge that we got at that time. About DNA, RNA, dominant, recessive traits, about albino abnormalities, about hemophilia, about a lot of things that really fascinate us. At that time the lesson was closed with a message from Mr. Adi 'After graduating from here, you continue to school, looking for as much knowledge as possible. Be a group of knowledgeable people. Remember that God exalts the knowledge of men.'

For today's learning, Mr. Adi only smiles hearing protests from us.

"You don't know yet, in the magnetic material that you will teach now, there is even more terrible excitement. We can play magic!"

"Huh? Can you, sir?"

"Aaah, Mr. Adi must have just seduced us."

"That is wooed not all of us, sir. Vienna aja. Haha." A roar of laughter accompanied Bobi's comment. Vienna smiles confidently. Yup, who would refuse to be seduced by a handsome teacher like Mr. Adi's. It's handsome, smart anyway.

Adi sir laughed. This one teacher is not the type of teacher who upholds high authority. He's a chill. We laughed, he laughed. That's why we are always excited if learning IPA accompanied by him.

"OKAY. Now you ask, you want to know, magic related to magnetism?" The kids are quiet, focused. Curiosity began to appear in our hearts and minds.

Two lessons have passed, an exciting IPA, and mathematics that makes the head a little frown. The break bell rings. I'm getting ready to go to the teacher's room, see Ms. Min.

Right, until the teacher's room, Ms. Min was waiting. But Bu Min is not alone, next to him there is Bu Tita, Bu Melani, also Bu Sri.

"Hi, Wil. here sit." An empty seat is available. I sit. It was somewhat astonished to also sit in front of four master teachers like this. It felt like he was going to be tried for a big mistake.

"This is Bu Tita, Bu Mel and Bu Sri deliberately waiting for you, Wil. We're all curious." My forehead spontaneously wrinkled. I'm trying to think, figure out the reason for my teachers' curiosity. But the more I thought, the more confused I was. All this time I never had any problems with Bu Tita, Bu Mel or Bu Sri. The last time I met them was two weeks ago, here, when I was asked about the data by Ms. Min. Bu Tita Bu Mel and Bu Sri at that time happened to be near Bu Min. They laughed when they found out about my father's obscure name.

Perhaps because of seeing my confused gait, Ms. Min continued her words, saying,

"Yesterday, after you came home, mom chatted to the three of them. I told you everything, especially about you having 20 foster kids." Ooh, that's apparently the root of the problem. All of these mother teachers in front of me were curious about the sun children.

"That's a long time ago, Wil, raised them as foster children?" Mom started asking.

"No, Ma. Yesterday was vacation time. Children are brought to a new house a week or so."

"God willing, please pray, Mom. Wil wants to send them to school. If you can all be scholars."

"What?" Almost simultaneously the four teachers in front of me shouted. Their tones are equally high. Their facial expressions were both shocked.

"Taking 20 kids to college isn't easy, Wil. Don't be so grandiose in your dreams, you'll be disappointed." Ms. Min reminded.

"Yes, Mom. That's Wil's ideal for the younger brothers wil. I will do it, Mom."

"Yes, he prayed, he prayed. But logic has to work, too. It's gonna be expensive, Wil. Where'd you get the money to finance everything?" Bu Sri commemorates. I confirmed what Ms Sri said. I never even counted how much and how much it would cost. I just know that God arranged everything to be full of surprises. Just like I experienced. With just a matter of days, God presents Ua Amir, Mr. Muji, Mr. Samsudin, Mr. Nana, Randi aka Nandi, also the children of the sun, in my life. What a wonderful surprise. So too with the future of the children of the sun. I'm sure, one day, all of a sudden I've been at Mimbo, Opik, Dian, and the sun kids all. It could even be, once attending the graduation ceremony, the younger sister of the sun who graduated could be two or three people at once. Hm... My mind was amused thinking that.

"Jil." Bu Min broke my daydream.

"Yes, Mom."

"That, have you thought about all the risks?"

"God willing, Mom. Wil is ready, also sure, because Wil has God, the Almighty." Everyone shut up, I was quiet too. There was a shiver of its own as that confident sentence came out of my mouth. Yep. Without me knowing it, I had brainwashed myself, instilling a positive mindset in all the cells in my body that 'There is God, who will make things easy and smooth.'

"We can participate in your fight, Wil?" Everyone looked at me, clingy. Ms. Min's question stunned me for a moment.

"I mean mother?"

"What can we do to help support your cause?" Ms. Min clarified her sentence.

"Of course not just do'a." Ms. Min added.

"Wil doesn't know, Mom. But if you want to know what kind of situation the children of the sun, you can see directly to Garut's house. Every Friday afternoon Wil to Garut, back here again Sunday." Everyone looks at each other. Everyone smiles at each other too. I do not yet understand what this smile of the great Masters before me means.

'Still in touch... Thank you for always being here.'

Read also yuk, a good novel by my friend:

Blurbs:

Pretending to be poor, Ruby meets a rich, arrogant young man named Melvin.

The man smiled cynically as if humbling, "The campus wonder can accept a slovenly student like this. Poor again. This is a college or social foundation. Strange mechanism."

"Haha.... Your words are cruel, Vin. Poor he's new here. It'll be mental."

Not only do they know that people who are being insulted are also the children of a great businessman.
