The rhythmic tone of the school bell rang a sign of the lesson hour starting, the students lined up neatly in the mini field waiting for the direction of the principal.
"14, one more student or what?" lirih Ticha the teaching teacher counted the rows of students. The net looked at each line.
"Miss Ticha, what's wrong?" Afrinda came to the one-team teacher in her classroom.
"Miss Frin, he said today there's a new student huh? But how are the students in our class still 14?"
Afrinda calmed her bewildered partner, not accidentally looking at one of her students. His face rubbing the back of the female disciple was soft. "Allen why, baby?"
The one called Allen smiled for a moment. "Miss, when Allen was in class, there was a new friend sitting next to Allen's bench. But because she kept crying, so her parents took her out" Allen tells the story.
Understanding what happened, Afrinda entrusted her children to Miss Ticha who first opened the class, walking towards the teacher's room looking for where the student was told.
Not far from the location of the school building, Afrinda saw the figure of a middle-aged lung woman sitting on one of the waiting room benches was persuading the little girl.
A brief introduction between Afrinda and Aunt Emma, but when Afrinda tries to get Jelita to talk and the girl to throw her face away.
"Oma Auntie, can you leave us two?"
Aunt Emma smiled nodding away from the bench, from the face of this woman looks sincerity there.
"What's his name, baby?" ask Afrinda softly.
One sec....
One minute...
Sighing in a rough breath Afrinda kept smiling. Slowly his hands stretched out to reach the end of the long hair of this girl who was loose. "Hair is so pretty," he said, gently touching the strands of hair of this girl.
No rejection, Afrinda began to dare to style the fine hair of this girl. "May Miss tie her hair?"
Let's say this little girl agrees.
"Look, honey. Miss there's colorful china rubber, she likes what color to tie in her hair?"
It seems that his efforts were not in vain, this girl raised her face staring at a bit of clear plastic filled with Chinese rubber was quite interesting.
"Everyone" he replied timidly.
"All the rubber is in the cinema or like all the colors, baby?" Afrinda kept on luring him to talk.
"Color."
"alright. Behind her Miss, yes, let Miss tie her hair."
Loading her body Afrinda began to gently comb the hair of this girl. While tying Jelly's hair, Afrinda again asked "Miss can not know what his name is, darling?"
Nyess..
Looks like this kid is hard to approach, Afrinda thought. "Yes, yes, too. But Miss wants to know straight from you."
"The answer must be the same, my name won't change." His voice is cute but his words are very telling.
Afrinda was anxious herself but she would not give up on approaching this girl. "All right, Miss lost. Jelly, your name is Jelly, J-e-l-l-y!"
"Not that's my name," he said, not accepting his name changed but did not refuse the head that this Miss touched.
"But Miss prefers to call you Jelly, because your face is as sweet as Jelly," said Afrinda.
Jelita silently digested her Miss speech. "Jelly, Jelita, Jelly" he said, thinking of the nickname.
"It's Done! Come hold her hair, Jelly. Surely Jelly likes Miss's bond."
Justright. Jelita grinned at the back of her head occasionally playing her hair ties, "Jelly."
"Beautiful'kan?" ask Afrinda enthusiastically.
Jelita nodded enthusiastically and her smile began to crack.
"Now Miss wants to wipe her sad face Jelly wear wet tissue, right'ugly face so moody. Mau'kan?"
"You" Jelita replied, starting to make her voice.
Afrinda gently wiped Jelly's entire face and afterwards gave her a sweet candy as a sign of her introduction. Jelly was close to the hand of Miss Frin who had dared to raise her face.
"My name is Jelita Niellxie Alfonso." Even Jelly has started to smile at his friends.
"It's a long name."
"The name is hard to remember."
The whispers of the classroom respond to the introduction of their new friend.
"Kids of the beautiful and handsome Miss, call her new friend Jelly, J-e-l-l-y!" exclaim Afrinda clarifies Jelita's name.
"Jelly!!"
Outside the classroom behind a glass window, Aunt Emma cried tears while recording the incident using her mobile phone.
