Ayana drives her matic motorcycle to school with Wulan. This morning the first hour of lessons began with English lessons. With a subject teacher named Mr. Sugeng. The most feared teacher who was the vice principal.
Ayana parked her bike, then walked hand in hand with Wulan towards their classroom.
"Well, you didn't forget to take your name, did you? If you forget not to bring it, you will get a special task from Mr. Sugeng. Forgot to take it?"ask Wulan.
"There's in the bag. That's a really weird teacher, huh! Why are we told to write our names on cardboard with large letters? They told me to put it on our table. That's a sign he doesn't memorize our names, right?"gerutu Ayana's.
"Yes, too, yeah. But where are the students who dare to protest? Finished explaining the material, Mr. Sugeng gives us a question. Those who do not raise their fingers will be given a special task after the subjects are finished. And the one who raises a finger, but the answer is wrong will instead get more tasks than those who do not raise a finger. The survivor did not get a special task was the one who brandished a finger and the answer was correct," Wulan said with a long sigh.
"And one more. The luckiest is the one who raises a finger, the answer is wrong, but can not be a special task because it can not be a turn of questions from Mr. Sugeng,"sahut Ayana.
"Yes, you're right!"sahut Wulan confirmed Ayana's words.
"And it was me" Ayana said, laughing.
"Seriously?"tanya Wulan seemed to not believe what Ayana said.
"Seriously. The answer I had prepared was wrong. But did not get a question from Mr. Sugeng. So I survived the punishment, huh!"sahut Ayana then laughed.
"Actually what Mr. Sugeng does is only so that we really pay attention to the material presented and educate us to think critically.You know, right, if we raise a finger, if we raise a finger, means we have to prepare the answer to the question given by Mr Sugeng? That, will make us inevitably think to find answers to questions given by Mr. Sugeng," said Wulan at length.
"Yes, too, yeah. But that one teacher was indeed truly terrifying. From the aura, his voice and body shape alone could make us all frightened, "what Ayana did not feel had already arrived at their classroom. The two girls sat on their benches. Ayana and Wulan did not initially sit on one bench. However they sat on the same bench after exchanging seats with their friends.
"You know what, don't you? There's a kid from the eleventh grade F who sent a license. The contents of the license said that he did not enter the school for fear of Mr. Sugeng," Wulan said then laughed.
"Correct? How funny! To the extent that he was afraid of Mr. Sugeng. Because of her mental pressure," said Ayana along with laughing.
"Already, already! We better prepare our name cartons, and also our textbooks. In a moment, Mr. Sugeng will enter our class," said Wulan while preparing his textbook.
And sure enough, shortly afterwards, Mr. Sugeng the English teacher who feared the students also entered their class. At once the class became quiet.
"Good morning students! ("Good morning kids!")"greet Mr. Sugeng with his baritone voice that sounded firm.
"Good morning, sir! ("Good morning, sir!")"said the students in that class that most of them became tense.
"Okay, we'll start today's lesson. Since all the material that we have to learn in this even semester is up, and soon there will be an even semester exam, then we will repeat the previous material. Today we will repeat the subject matter about Suggestion (Saran). Namely Asking & Giving Suggestion (Soliciting and advising)" said Mr. Sugeng then began to explain the material.
The students are seen listening to the material described by Mr. Sugeng carefully. Trying to understand and understand what Mr. Sugeng explained.
"Point who still remembers the subject matter you just explained!"mr. Sugeng's orders after he finished explaining the material.
Some students are pointing their index fingers, some are just silently looking down which means resigned to get the task after the subjects are finished and collected at the next meeting. Ayana and Wulan pointed their index fingers. Not brandishing a finger means being ready to accept a task, brandishing a finger means having to prepare an answer. Wrong answers will get more special tasks. If you do not collect assignments, the parents of students will be called to the school. A really tough and scary teacher. That's why Mr. Sugeng is called a killer teacher.
"Dina! Give me an example of the sentence Recommend You To.."command mr. Sugeng.
"I hink you have to study this material (I think you should study this material.)"said Dina gave an example of a sentence of advice to do something with fingers interlocked for fear of the answer is wrong.
"Goody! Farid! Give me an example of the phrase Advice You To.." said Mr. Sugeng pointed to Farid. Makes Dina breathe a sigh of relief.
"I advice you to apologize to him.(I advise you to apologize to him.)" said Farid who looked tense.
"Goody! Riya, give me an example sentence that uses the word you should... (Good. Riya, give me an example of a sentence that uses the word you should.)"command Mr. Sugeng looked at Riya who rarely pointed her finger.
"Shelf"
"Are you okay? (Are you okay?)"asked Mr. Sugeng to Riya who with a trembling body sat back in her chair.
"O. okay, sir. (Well, sir)" replied Riya nervously.
"All right, give me an example sentence that uses the word you should..! (Alright, give me an example of a sentence that uses the word you should.)" said Mr. Sugeng.
"You should... "Riya seemed confused as to how to proceed with her sentence.
"You dare to raise your finger without preparing an answer?"asked Mr. Sugeng with a sharp look, making Riya further lower her head with a trembling body. Seeing Riya like that, Mr. Sugeng could only throw a rough breath.
"Wanna! Give me an example of the sentiment that uses the word you should...! (Ayana, give me an example of a sentence that uses the word you should.), said Mr. Sugeng.
"You should eat more vegetables! (You should eat a lot of vegetables.)"sahut Ayana who looks relaxed.
"Goody!"said Mr. Sugeng then pointed at several other students and gave different questions.
"OKAY. Today's lesson is enough to get here. For the name I call, the next meeting must collect the task of making the sentence Asking & Giving Suggestion (Soliciting and advising) as much as a hundred sentences. For those who brandished a finger but could not answer my question correctly, should gather one hundred and fifty sentences of Asking & Giving Suggestion,"said Mr. Sugeng then mentioned the names that should collect the task at the next meeting. The disciples whose names were called were instantly lethargic.
"OKAY. Up to here our meeting today. Learn more so that you can get satisfactory grades. Good mornings!"said Mr. Sugeng after the change of lesson bell rang.
"Good morning, sir!"the students in that class.
"Finally, the killer teacher's lesson ended, too,"
"Fuckin' shit! I have to write a hundred sentences of advice,"
"I have to write a hundred and fifty sentences,"
"Double kill is his name,"
"Risk to answer with the wrong answer,"
"Pak Sugeng is really a killer teacher,"
"I'm glad I wasn't pointed out,"
"I was lucky to be able to answer Mr. Sugeng's question,"
That was the chattering of the students in the Ayana and Wulan classes after the English language course hours were over. Two hours of lessons with Mr. Sugeng is the most stressful time for students who are not good at English. Unfortunately, many students do not learn English. The school where Ayana attended was not an elite school with complete facilities. Nor is it an elite school where kids are smart. Ayana School is currently an ordinary public school.
Ayana's parents did send Ayana to international school. But Ayana instead dropped out of that school and chose to go to public school. Ayana does not want to go to school in a place inhabited by rich people who look at others because of the level of wealth. And make friends because they see their social status. Ayana wants to make a sincere friend accept herself for who she is regardless of her background.
