Love Among 3 Flowers
02. Prince and Cinderella 2

After that ridiculous incident I was determined not to embarrass myself in public anymore. Maybe because I was a little traumatized to be the talk or gossip at school about students who are chaotic and the story of the Prince's play with Cinderella who collided affectionately in front of the class.

The ridiculous news quickly spread to all corners of the school, because it was very up to date to be spread out. This happened because the two ridiculous events were in a row in a moment. Starting from the procession I was punished in front of the field along with the reading of Tri Satya and Dasa Darma by him. Sarah Aulia Princess actually read it out of her head. Yapps was right, that was his beautiful name according to his person who was known to be beautiful and intelligent. Although her beauty is still less when compared to Zahra, a student of Arab-Indo descent. However, for the size of the original indigenous girl of pure Javanese prodak, maybe Sarah is already extraordinary compared to other natives.

Then, all the successive ridiculous events occurred after a short while of my punishment procession. Miraculously, it was preceded by the reading of the Scout honor code by Sarah. Furthermore, there was a moment of collision that was considered as the meeting of the Prince and Cinderella. This is what makes the news easy to spread warm. Due to the two students, she and I stood out by the contrast of the stark differences with each other. One is discipline (Sarah) and the other is chaotic (Ikhsan). The two were met in a dramatic semi-romantic situation in the style of the film Bolywood.

The news circulated quickly into the warm consumption of students and teachers and school employees because the story was immortalized by Journalists and Mading Club in newsletters and wall magazines. Especially plus tickling spices. The seasoning was taken from the innuendo of the ceremony builder about the chaos and praise about the discipline of the progressive student, Sarah. The spice gets warmer when plus the recognition of the Board of Racers brother and also the eyewitness who saw the incident made the story more sensational. All of that was written in scattered bulletins and wall magazines that were plastered on the board of the school Mading. Quickly Father or Mother teacher, especially students and upperclassmen mostly know me and him.

Every time there was a moment that mocked me, either teacher or friends always joked me with great. For almost a semester I was always a bulying material that made me know myself a little and sparked my discipline and spirit of learning. I was determined not to be timid again for the second time, so every scout training I always obeyed the duties charged. Similarly, when the lesson is always enthusiastic

The teachers who taught me almost all knew me no exception until the Headmaster also knew me because he taught maple PKN, his name was Mr. Syamsul. M.pd., M.Pd. Similarly, the teacher of Religion, Mr. Harun, slightly twisted the proposition to advise, but what would be said PAI lessons that are only 2 hours a week faster I forget than Pak Hendro's Mathematics lessons which can be 4-6 hours a week.

Yups since then I've gotten more enthusiastic about learning and diligent scout training. When you know how happy it is to be a Pandu child then you will practice as facet as possible even though your body has to fight with the hot sun.

A champ?

Time goes by quickly did not feel the acceptance of the first semester report arrived. How shocked I was when my mother Musyarofah told me about my satisfactory learning which was the first grade in the class. This is like a dream in broad daylight. I don't believe in my own abilities. Or maybe because I feel embarrassed constantly so try to improve myself by studying and doing all the tasks well without caring about the acquisition of any value. All because of the innuendo of the apple builder closing the scout that so cornered me. Plus the circulation of warm news about the Prince and Cinderella who carry my name and name Sarah known throughout SMPN 02 Bumiayu. Of course it made me lose all my duck cuey attitude all this time.

How not to be ashamed, from the classmate to the upperclassman who had met me greet me like this, “ Heyy... ohya you are a student in the story of Pangerang and Cinderella is yes? Moreover, my classmates who bullied me all out. It was like repeatedly heard in my ears, so I became phobic with the words ‘Prince and Cinderella’, feeling fed up with that sentence. So I decided to become a student who is smart, superior, disciplined, helpful, kind, and diligent in saving and not arrogant. That's what started to inspire my positive thoughts. Not playing is difficult to ask for forgiveness, to adopt the idea. I also had time to think with Sarah's own situation, whether she also felt depressed like me.

“Ah stupid, it's not my business that matters now I become a disciplined student, hehehe”. My words are inward.

After a 2-week semester break I used to do a lot of eel fishing, raising bangkok chickens, playing kites, playing marbles, playing catapults, playing picture abrasions, playing, playing splinter in the form of stacked pieces of precarious, pastak ball like a rich golf game, peg catfish or gatrik, fighting slender from the bottle cap, plucking from bamboo, and so on, shift the fish in wangan (small river), modify the BMX bike then also play ball until magrib and various other games that are still fun to play in Padukuhan Karanggung, Jatisawit Village, Kec. Bumiayu, Kabin. Brebes, Provinces. Central Java, Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.

Next comes the time to enter the routine of teaching and learning activities after a long semester break. The days are changing rapidly, it seems like this semester's holiday is nothing to feel.  Entering the first week of the beginning of semester II precisely Monday for the first time held a flag ceremony, but at the flag ceremony this time is special because at the same time the announcement of the rank of the top 10 parallels of each class VII, class VIII, and class IX.

This is the most thrilling moment the heart of outstanding students waiting for an appreciation of the results of their learning for half a year. But none of that happened to me. This time Mr. Principal Samsul S.Pd., M.Pd. became the supervisor of the ceremony and later gave appreciation to the top 10 parallels in each class VII, class VIII, and class IX.

For readers of the number sequence of the names of students or students who obtained parallel rankings is Ms. Yuningsih S.Pd. He is a Publicist and Biology teacher. Bu Yuningsih began the announcement of the VIIth class force continuing through to the IX class. He mentioned one by one the names of the outstanding students from the tenth order of the parallel to the first parallel . There were cheers of friends clapping when the names of outstanding students were mentioned.

“ Here is the name of the top 10 class VII parallel rank;

- “ Top tenth rank achieved byhh....???

Ananda Santi Aprilia from class VII D.”

- “ Big ninth rank achieved byhh.....???

Ananda Puji Astuti from Class VII H.”

- “ Big eighth rank achieved

byhh.....??? Ananda Ramadhani Setia Wati of Class VII G.”

- “ Rank seventh big achieved byhh.....???

Ananda Soffia Liana of Class VII C.”

- “High sixth rank achieved byhh.....???

Ananda Rahma Ayuningtyas of Class VII F.”

- “Large fifth rank achieved byhh.....???

Ananda Zaenab Permata Sari from Class VII B.”

- “High fourth rank achieved byhh.....???

Ananda Nur Saudah from Class VII B.”

“For triple to parallel ratings this one is special... Watch after the following pandiwara” Ledek Bu Yuni.

At that time the participants of the ceremony cheered loudly protesting Bu Yuni's actions. I also saw Bu Yuni as talking to some of the Fathers and Mother Teachers. No exception also in it there is the Headmaster who participated in a straightforward discussion without being heard by anyone participants of the ceremony. At that time I began to be a little provoked by emotions after knowing that the entire parallel rank was pushed by the daughter, not a son at all. I who used to be ignorant now began to be offended, when none of the sons won the top 10 parallels.  Though my mother said I ranked first in class VII A, the time did not enter the top 10 at all. Plus the thing that is increasingly upsetting is when in a row parallels 5 and 4 achieved class B, class Sarah Aulia Putri.

I also wondered in my heart about Sarah.

“When said friends he was active in class?

Is possible? Sarah is only a braggart so did not have time to reach position 10

big at all ? It's none of my business”.

So I asked myself and then I answered myself, my mind was really my mind when it became a waste inexplicably. After that I looked at the words of Mother who said that I ranked first in VIIA class?

Ahh is it possible that Mom just comforted me by saying that ? Honestly, I have never seen my value, even touching the report I have not had the chance at all. Though it has been two weeks more rapot was distributed by the homeroom to the Parents of the students. The rapids were still lying in my study after Mom showed them to Dad.

******

The sound of the microphone began to meet again showing Ms. Ningsih to continue the announcement of the name of the student who occupied the top 3 parallel position for class VII. This time all the participants of the ceremony were very curious who managed to obtain the top 3 position of the parallel.

“Okeh Mother continue who are the special students who deserve the top 3 parallels? They are...? Said Bu Ningsih making all the participants of the ceremony curious.

“ Want to know or want to know so much? Ledek bu Ningsih's

“ Huhhhh.. Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Let's not go too late, Mom!! The protest was mostly curious ceremony participants.

“ For the third parallel rank successfully achieved by... Ananda??

“ Let's not go too late Mom!! Cut a student with courage and challenge.

“ Anandaaa..... Zulmi Ilmawan of class VII

A.” Said Bu Ningsih Firmly.

Clap and cheer the whole ceremony. While I'm quiet. But I was a little relieved to hear that Zulmi, a friend of mine from class VII A, managed to reach the second parallel. This time I also started pounding curious because it was a few weeks ago after the division of rapot Zulmi told me that he managed to reach rank 2 in the class. Furthermore, he also told me that I was the first rank winner in the class, yes I believe that he ranked 2 in the class because he was famous for being diligent in joining the Bimbel.

However, I do not believe that I myself am ranked one, because I have never joined Bimbel at all, just learn if there is a task or if again want to learn yes learn.

That story is exactly what you told me 2 weeks ago. But is the story really real? Because, I haven't seen my grades at all since Mom put that rapot on my study desk. Then I suddenly woke up from my daydream as Mother Ningsih continued the announcement of the parallel rank.

“ For this special time directly we announce the second and first rank, the second and first Parallel successfully achieved by.....?? Anandas.......

“ Come who's Mom... ? C'mon Hurry.. Hurry along!! Come on

Mom..!!! Ayoooo Quickly Buuu!! Shouted almost the entire ceremony participants with a taste

curious acupoints.

“ The second and first parallel ishh...

Anandaa?? The Prince and Cinderella” Said straightforwardly Bu Ningsih.

In an instant all the participants of the ceremony were silent for a moment, and then the rhythm of the atmosphere changed into a crowded cheers along with the rumbling of applause, a whistle of intimacy, and, the laughter of a very lively giggle exceeds the noisy bustle of the village market.

“ Huhhh.... Sous...

Prokkkkp..... Prokkkkp..... Prokkkc.. Prince and Cinderella...???  Viuwitt... Viuwitt.... Huhaha..

hihiiiii, huhhu..... Huhhhh Sous Wite Prince and Cinderella”. Shouting hysterically some of the participants of the ceremony actually set the atmosphere on fire.

“Yes they are the Prince and Cinderella who managed to reach the second and first parallels. Ananda Ihsan as-Sidiq and Sarah Aulia Princess please to advance to front”. Call Bu Ningsih.

In my heart I am still very embarrassed and wonder why events like this can happen continuously. Has it become a sign of destiny? As the friends cheered loudly I got more depressed even though there was a bit of excitement mixed with excitement.

I muttered how well I reached the rank of two consecutive parallels with Sarah as the first parallel. For a few seconds I tried to expel my negative thoughts to welcome the euphoria of the happiness of the Father and Mother Teacher, especially the Headmaster Mr. Samsul. I don't want to look stupid when giving awards in front of all the participants of the ceremony later. I ventured to stand towards the front of the field decorated as a simple podium. With a dashing step full of confidence plus a sweet smile made me full of charm.

When I walked I saw Sarah's smile so brightly exposed to the morning sun like a mermaid pearl reflecting a completely refractive light. I kept walking to the podium and greeted him.

“ Hey, it turns out you are smart too yes sarah, just like people say. It's not wrong I heard it”. Saying slowly.

“ Thank you. Sorry at that time I mistakenly thought of you by considering you as a semrawut student who does not know the rules Eh it turns out my assumption is unreasonable, the proof of your learning results can be a little competitive with me”. Said Sarah a little prestige and insinuation.

The morning breeze whistled lightly through the green foliage in the small gardens north of the field. The sound of sparrows also accompanied the euphoria of the announcement of the parallel champion of the learning results of all students. The morning sun also begins to direct its warm light to the entire surface of the skin. Ta’aruf activities at the first meeting in semester 2 will be held soon. New days in studying began to enter the second half of this 7th class episode.

It is true that teaching and learning routines will soon accompany us in 5 bln more in the future. Hustle and bustle of the task will soon approach us of course. That is the claimant's name otherwise there is no point in the school without any problems to be solved.

“I don't think the results of my studies are beyond belief. Indeed the saying says effort will not lie results”.capku satisfied in heart.

********

Prince?

It is unexpected that Sarah also thought about some things that are unique and funny to be observed. The breeze blows breeze wags the image of longing in the heart of a child of air but is it true? Did it happen to him?Could Sarah be thinking and talking to herself?

Like, a human being is chatting with his own soul mate to ask for a consideration. That is how humans have unique and unpredictable nature.

*******

There was something strange about me why my heart was pounding when I met that chaotic guy. He was handsome... But…? A little bit like that. Ikhsan Sidiqqq! A rancid guy full of crazy intrigue. It really embarrassed me many times. Uhhh basic! Ohhhhhh!!!

The thing that embarrassed me the most was when he bumped into me after Scout training. What a big boy I've met. But sometimes there is also a unique why the man who first looks chaotic like he can turn into diligent learning. Wonder me at him? Ahhh it's stupid….

I am getting confused about his attitude. Uhh….. But still I was annoyed and anxious at him. Why until he brought me everything to be the lips of the story of Prince and Cinderella? The longer the more hits again. Sometimes I flinch at it. You little boy!!!!!

I could see his face in my shadow. Ahhhhh no. Oh My God. No.. No….. But if you think why the hell did he get to angking Pararel 2 everything? Though he was not clear and never also seen joining Bimbel? Eh but it was just like a smile on me, cool too... huh??? Oh well I am like this…. Oh my Sarah….. Sarah…. What are you doing?

“Ah I was thinking why is that little boy said to deserve to be my Prince? Why am I Cinderella? Why is the gossip getting warmer? Why can't you answer Sarah? Come Answer?” I ask myself in front of the mirror

“Ah already... already... You are Sarah.. why am I even amazed by the man tengil.” I brushed off my own thoughts..

Mending after school I tidied up my room and bed. Continue to fall while waiting for Ashar prayer. Ohya I forgot that I also have to make a small note for my agenda tomorrow. Spirit Sarah……!!!! Ihhhh basic me!!!
