This morning I tried to encourage a new spirit. After my morning routine, I left for school early, as I requested yesterday, Mr. Gun drove me on a motorcycle. When I got to school, I ran straight into my class. Not many students had come, in the classroom I saw Lia sitting alone, I approached her and greeted her.
" Good morning, Lia ! " hand me to him.
" Naima's morning!" answer Lia.
We had a conversation, I was happy to talk to Lia, even though she was not the son of a rich man, she was a good child. That sweet boy is my best friend. His father was only an ojek driver and now people rarely use his services, because they lost to Gojek or Grab which is easily accessible because everything is done practically through online booking. Therefore, Lia's father also became a odd job to provide for her family, while her mother was only a housewife. Even so, his family always get along well, his father and mother love their children very much. She has great respect and appreciation for her parents' struggle in raising her . We were having a conversation, and suddenly Vonna came. And sit next to Lia.
Then Vonna asked,
" What is your parents' job? " ask Vonna to Lia.
" My father was just a motorcycle taxi and a job" replied Lia.
"Oo...labour huh? " vonna's word seemed mocking.
" You are Naima? What's your father's job?" ask Vonna.
" My father's been dead since I was in the womb" I said.
Vonna without saying anything, immediately left us and chose to have a conversation with other students. She looked down on me and Lia, probably because my performance at school was always simple, so she judged me like that. Today all the activities at school are going well, there is little that feels different, since the arrival of Vonna in my class, the cohesiveness between friends began to decrease, and there was little, it was as if I had stood a group or block inside my classroom. I try to be neutral and think all friends are equal, but I can't. Vonna who incidentally the rich man's son managed to influence other friends.
At 14.30 WIB, I rushed to take a shower after which I changed clothes, I wore jeans and t-shirts, my clothes were simple, but looked good when I wore them, then I took 1 set of Barbie dolls that I had wrapped last night with wrapping paper. I came out of my room, then I said goodbye to Ms. Warti that I would attend my friend's birthday event with Mr. Gun delivered. After that I came out and Mr. Gun had been waiting for me on the bike, I also ran over to Mr. Gun, then I put on my helmet.
Vonna's house was not far from where I was only 15 minutes away, I had already arrived at her house. I looked at Vonna's house, it was better than any other house, but it was bigger and better than Vonna's. At Vonna's house there have been many of my friends who have come. Vonna looks beautiful with a red dress she wears that is combined with a pearl necklace and a nice bracelet accessories that adorn her wrists.
" Happy birthday Vonna, may you live a long life, you are so beautiful today Vonna" she said.
" Yes, of course" Vonna answered briefly.
I also gave my card to Vonna, my eyes saw a flat expression when she received a gift from me, very different when she received a gift from other friends, she said thank you and cipika cipiki.
Suddenly Lia comes, Vonna's attitude as if not appreciating the arrival of Lia.
" Merry Vonna's birthday" Lia said with a smile.
"Yes "the answer was short, Vonna turned her face away . Vonna was busy talking to other friends. My heart was upset at her attitude, but I tried to be normal and I had a conversation with Lia. The event was lively, even though I, Lia and some of my friends from the lower middle family as if not considered, then we were welcome to eat.
" What food is this? How come it's like this?" lia asked in surprise to me.
I was about to try to answer Lia's question, but Vonna who was behind me preceded me.
" Yes, of course you don't know the name of this food, your parents are just difficult people, if they can buy food like this" Vonna said with a sniff.
Lia who heard Vonna's words immediately ran out, I also ran after Lia.
" Why would Vonna talk to me like that ?" ask Lia to me.
"I regret coming to her birthday, I regret Naima" Lia said in tears.
I tried to calm Lia's heart.
" Already Lia, there is no need for you to listen to Vonna's words" I tried to calm the sadness and anger in Lia's heart. After a bit better, I invited Lia to come home.
"We'd better just go home, the important thing is that we've attended Vonna's invitation" I told Lia.
Lia just nodded her head, I asked who would pick her up, she said that no one picked her up.
I also offered help, I called Mr. Gun, to come pick me up. 15 minutes later Mr. Gun came to pick me up . I immediately approached Gun sir and asked for help to take Lia home, because the helmet that Gun sir brought was only one, so I asked Gun sir to take Lia first and I chose to wait for Gun sir by the side of the road .
I sat pensively, pondering over the events of today, about Vonna's arrogant attitude, she should be able to respect others, not everyone was born with a fate as lucky as her. Today I was sad to see Lia, I could feel Lia's sadness at Vonna's words.
Tin..tin..tin..hlaxon.
" Eh Gun sir" I said spontaneously.
" Let's go Naima, we have to go home, the clouds are getting darker, I'm afraid it's raining" Gun told me.
" Mr. Gun, how quickly it arrived when Lia's house was quite far away," I asked Mr. Gun.
" Yes Naima, Gun sir went through a shortcut" said Gun sir.
" What's Lia's house like, Gun sir? " tanyaku.
" House is simple mbak, different from the house mbak Naima" he replied.
I just kept quiet. Arriving at home I was greeted by Ms. Warti.
" How's his birthday ?" ask Ms. Warti with a face of curiosity.
" There's nothing special" I answered briefly as I lay on my living room couch.
"Where the package, usually when you go home must have a box containing food" said mbok Warti then smiled.
" Warti.mbok, I went home first mbok, because of something and I also did not say goodbye to the host" I replied with an annoyed expression.
Mbok just looked at me with a confused face.
" What's up with boy? " tanya mbok Warti.
" Mbok actually I'm annoyed with someone, since his arrival at my school, the situation in my class is now different, our friends used to care and respect each other, but now it is different as if there are limits and distances "I said with an annoyed expression.
Mbok just stroked my hair, he didn't dare to give me any opinion. Then I stood up and sat in the living room, I turned on the TV watching my favorite show.
I took a deep breath and tried to forget what happened today.
