The moon was timid because it was still a sickle, pale to the morning. The wind became frozen, the sun refused to say hello. Birds whistling around. I greet the morning with hope that love and mind can be achieved easily.
I came earlier than usual.aunt Yusnita drove me and Nurul faster because there was an office event. Aunt Yusnita is getting busy with her work.
School is still a bit quiet. Only one or two students came.
"For Mr. Iqbal!"
"For Miss." Reply Mr. Iqbal friendly. Miss is Mr. Iqbal's warm greeting to all the students who greet him. "Self Miss, what girlfriend?" Although in this school there are hundreds of students even reach two thousand but Mr. Iqbal almost memorized all the faces, especially if it has ever entered into the area of his power, a sacred post for the late, especially if it has been, then Mr. Iqbal will remember as he remembers.
"Huh? Girlfriend." Mr. Iqbal's question confused me. Since when do I have a boyfriend. Mr. Iqbal may have been the wrong person, but he was still sleepy.
"Yes Miss' boyfriend!"
"I don't have a boyfriend, sir. Mr Iqbal wrong people times?"
"My time was wrong Miss. Miss right who was late in the rain yesterday, who came late with her boyfriend? Who wears one umbrella?" Mr. Iqbal reminded me of the sweet event, my face was met.
"Oh that, he's not my girlfriend, sir, just my upperclassman and knows very well. It just so happened that we met in front of the ATK store and he offered me an umbrella."
"Ah, Miss can just find an excuse."
"Seriously sir, when did I lie?"
"Hmmm .. but ... Nyong Faruq never walked with women. It's eleventh grade, and I've never seen her once with a girl, so I guess Miss is dating her."
"Ah, not Sir. It's just a coincidence, yes I've entered sir."
"Yo, please Miss!"
Mr. Iqbal is just around, just walking alone has been thought to be dating. But is it true Mr. Iqbal said that Faruq never walked with women? It means Faruq singles dong. I had a chance to get close to him. Being close and being her best friend is enough to make me happy. This happy heart bags accusations Mr. Iqbal. I thought I was dating Faruq.

The class was still quiet, one student sitting with a cold face. I have to persuade Daniza to well get back. Daniza if he's half-dead. But if he's the one who's craving, there's no joy between me and Ayu. Because Daniza is the bearer of cheer among us. Daniza always managed to make me wonder, either because of her funny or her piercing speech but there is a point, even though Daniza is easily offended.
"Hey, Niz." Sapaku to Daniza who came early and was already sitting on a big chair specifically for her. Now Daniza is comfortable sitting for a long time in class thanks to the help of Mr. Arman. Daniza just glanced at me with a sour face.
I pulled up my chair and approached Daniza, "Niz, I know you're still disappointed about yesterday, but honestly Niz I feel like there's nothing less to hear about your jokes." Daniza heard my words but she remained cold. Even turning my face away from me. He doesn't care if I sit next to him.
"Niz, if I'm wrong please forgive." Daniza doesn't care about me. He stays unmoved. The look he threw out, his face still sour.
"Niz, I want us to get better. Forget about that vocal organization. I'm gonna back off, too." Daniza remains petrified.
"Niz, I'm gonna step down and we're gonna find the right organization for the three of us. I want us to stay as good as ever, yeah." Daniza turned her neck and looked at me. I smiled and finally Daniza wanted to hear me.
"Can you shut up?" His face was fierce and his eyebrows were linked to make my body tremble because he did not expect Daniza to be angry.
"Niz, I know you're upset and angry but honestly Niz, I feel uncomfortable with this situation. You know, Niz, I'm just two good friends at this school, and it's you and Ayu, if you get angry at me, I just have Ayu. Niz-" I haven't finished my words, Daniza immediately propped up.
"Yes, Niz. We're better, okay?" He nodded with teary eyes.
Daniza nodded, "You don't back off Za, don't waste your dreams."
I was relieved to hear Daniza's whisper.

I entered the secretariat of the vocal organization with Ayu. Today is the inaugural meeting between the board and the new members. Because it came late, all eyes were on us. Some were seen whispering and stealing glances at me and Ayu.
The new members and the manager sit in separate places. Bu Mirah is among the board of directors.
Today the agenda is the introduction of managers with new members and the determination of routine training schedules. There is also an agenda meeting with the music organization. Music and vocal organizations are always rehearsing together despite having different chairmen and responsibilities.
My eyes almost popped out when the head of the vocal organization introduced himself.
"Za, look who's there."
I did not bother with Ayu's call, my focus was on the man who introduced himself as the head of the vocal organization "I'm the head of the vocal organization, introduce my name Muhammad Al Faruq Zaahirulhaq, he said, welcome to the vocal organization, greetings and may you be loyal."
My heart is beating again. That strange pounding, fucking cupid flying wildly around the stomach caused a sense of discomfort.
Faruq used himself calmly, casually, smiling slightly and not caring about anyone. He is a cold man.
In the line of managers also sat Azmi, Afni and Rima. Occasionally their sour faces appeared when his gaze was interrupted by my presence.
After all the managers introduced themselves. It was the turn of the new members to introduce themselves without exception.
Full name, address, and class must be mentioned. Finish my history if I have to mention the home address.
Since the new members started to introduce themselves one by one, Retina Afni's eyes were not separated from me. There was a threat he gave.
"Za, why the hell did Kak Afni see you like that? That look, full of anger?"
"Of course, maybe he's still holding a grudge for the events of the day."
"It's weird, so people are vindictive."
"Come away." I'm rolling the shoulder around.
It's almost my turn, I haven't got the right address for me to mention. I can't possibly mention the same address as Ayu let alone mention the address myself. It's gonna get even more angry at me. His threat to expel me will be carried out immediately if that happens.
"Include my name Maiza Kartika, tenth grade Mia 1. Address ... "
Kulrik Afni, she did the same to me.
Kenanga II Street Address No. 3.
