"I don't have time" replied Mr. Ahmad, pretending to concern himself with a laptop.

"It's important, sir."

Ahmad sighed heavily and looked at Weva.

"I told you that I don't have time"

"But, sir-"

"Weva Evanita Said, I'm really very busy, please get out!" Pak Ahmad with a polite tone.

Weva in a moment of silence let Mr. Ahmad who seemed busy with his laptop screen. 

"Sir Ahmad should hear what Weva is saying."

There's no answer.

"Pak Ahmad cheated," said Weva made a finger movement of Ahmad's hand who pressed the keyboard button was stopped. Both eyes of Ahmad turned to look at Weva.

"What did you say? Cheating?" ask Ahmad.

Weva nodded making Ahmad laugh. He took a deep breath and crossed his legs.

"What is the evidence that I cheated? You can't, dong accuses people without any evidence."

Hearing this made Weva immediately lift the paper which is now used as a proof tool. The evidence that encouraged Weva to come to Ahmad's room.

"This is proof, sir."

"Everything is here."

Seeing that made Ahmad now click his lips. How could he forget that paper.

"All Weva's answers are correct and Fhina's answers are wrong, sir, but why isn't Weva the school's representative to participate in the Olympics? Why Fhina?"

"When, right, Mr. Ahmad knew that Fhina had failed in the math Olympics so why was Fhina included again?".l

There's no answer.

"Please, sir for this year's permission, will Weva who participated in the math olympics represent the school!"

"Weva can, sir."

"Weva is sure to represent the school at the Olympics later and make everyone proud."

"Weva promises, Weva will study hard, Weva will-"

"Yes!" call Mr. Ahmad makes Weva immediately speechless.

"I know you can, but it's all impossible."

Dahi Weva shriveled to stare in wonder after what Mr. Ahmad said.

"I mean, what's Ahmad?"

"I couldn't have included you in the Olympics representing this school."

"But, sir-"

"I believe you can win first place in this Olympics, but believe me, Nak compared to you and Fhina, Fhina's performance is more supportive than yours."

Weva immediately fell silent stiff with the look of his eyes that were still staring seriously at Mr. Ahmad.

"What do you mean by Ahmad?"

"You want to know why?"

Weva fell silent, neither answering nor nodding.

Mr. Ahmad sighed then immediately got up from his chair and stepped closer to a blue curtain that covered the window.

Sreeeek

Mr. Ahmad opened the blue curtains wide enough to make Weva look at the building and the school environment clearly.

Mr. Ahmad was silent for a moment in front of the window as if he was not ready to talk again.

"Look over there!" Appointing Ahmad to the outside made Weva step forward and turn to look at Fhina who seemed to be joking with her Sangmut gang members.

"Look good, Weva!" pekati pak Ahmad.

Weva was only able to according to make him focus on Fhina.

"Fhina is tall like a model stepping on a catwalk."

"Well, you're also tall but unfortunately you're not like a model."

"Fhina is very beautiful while kamu-" said Mr. Ahmad stopped for a while.

Weva bowed while squeezing her sweaty fingers. Something was stuck in his heart. Weva hopes there is no bully word for him from Ahmad.

"With your face mediocre," continued Mr. Ahmad.

Weva turned her face slightly upwards trying to hold back the tears that were ready to spill at any moment.

"Fhina is so slim that you're so fat."

Yep, that familiar sentence is back heard.

Please weva for this time do not cry! Please please!

"I don't mean to compare you to Fhina, you know, yeah, but you're really fat."

"So like this, Fhina is like an angel while you are a sumo."

Weva nodded softly making her tears drip down her fat cheeks.

"Weva, representing the school not only represents how smart and how capable he is to win, but what we see is how worthy he is to represent the school."

"Appearance is more important here, yes that's why we chose Fhina who represents the school over you because of-"

"Because Fhina is perfect" Weva cut.

"Well, right," replied Mr. Ahmad confirming.

"We couldn't possibly bring a fat girl like you to represent the school, Weva."

"Perhaps by bringing Fhina to participate in the Olympics representing international schools can attract prospective students and students to school here."

Weva nodded then stepped back away from the window and Mr. Ahmad with tears that had flowed since. Weva has no intention of crying here, but it feels like these tears are not able to be filled with this pain.  

"So because of that, sir." Weva nodded in knowing.

Weva smiled trying to be strong.

"Thank you for the explanation."

"If I had known this was the reason I probably wouldn't have gone to the Olympics, sir."

"Indeed, yes, sir, the good looking ones are always in defense and the ugly ones are getting rid of."

"Thank you, sir, I'm backing down."

Weva turned around then stepped her feet a few steps making her cry explode in this second as well.

"Yes!" call Mr. Ahmad to make Weva stop.

"If you weren't this big, maybe you'd take you to the Olympics."

"Try to stretch your weight a little maybe you can include you in the Olympics next year."

Weva turned his head steadily Ahmad with his eyes reddened.

"No need, sir! I took a step back and I was sure my weight would never go down" Weva said, turning back and going further.

The instant Weva's cry exploded making her cheeks wet with tears.

"Yes!" call Mr. Ahmad again make Weva again stop his steps.

"Please don't tell this to Mr. Burhan, Dad!" said Mr. Ahmad mentioned the name Dady Weva.

Weva nodded, saying yes even though he did not look at Ahmad. He's so embarrassed now.

"Oh yeah, don't forget the door is closed!"

Weva nodded again then stepped out of the room Ahmad sir while rubbing his wet cheek.

"For the umpteenth time Weva regretted being born as a girl named Weva."

"For the umpteenth time Weva wept over Weva's own suffering destiny."

"*Why should Weva feel all this?"

"Why should Weva, Lord?"

"Why doesn't anyone else feel this way?"

"Why isn't anyone else in Weva's very sad position*?"

"Heart Weva is easily fragile."

"Weva's eyes cry easily."

"Weva's mind is easy to think bad."

"And Weva's body is easily offended."

"It's all because of one thing"

"Stomachy."

Weva stepped out of the room ahmad found Wiwi who appeared to be sitting in a long chair.
