Stain (Mirror Cracked)
Graduations
Rani then let go of her embrace with a smile.
“You must be strong Jihan. God will not test his people beyond his means.
I'm sure and believe you can handle all this. Remember, the day after we take the exam so you should focus on your exam first. Think of your future.”
Hearing Rani's advice, Jihan was silent but her tears were flowing.
“You told your parents?” ask Rani.
Jihan shook her head.
“Why don't you tell your mom, Jihan. Because either way your mother will know too. Do not let your stomach is already big new mother you know.”
“The plan is I'll tell mom that we're done with Rani's exam. But I'm still scared.”
Rani clasped Jihan's hand. “You should never be afraid because there is still a God who will protect you.”
“What if later my parents are angry and I kicked him out of this house.”
Hearing Jihan's words, Rani fell silent. He was confused as to what to answer. Rani felt sorry and sad to see the fate of her close friend.
Especially if her parents kicked her out of the house. But Rani can't do much more because until now she hasn't found out who that man is.
“Yes, you are patient and pray a lot.
Hope your parents don't do that. I'm still figuring out who the man who impregnated you is.”
“Free Rani because it will not be able to know. We've been trying to look for it but until this second haven't found it either.”
“You don't be pessimistic like that Jihan. I'm sure one day I'll be able to find out who that guy is. What is important for now is that you have to focus first on our exams that will be carried out. If later you are expelled by your parents, I will be ready to help you.
I'll tell my parents everything and hopefully they can understand it and accept you at my home.”
After hearing Rani's advice slowly Jihan began to calm down.

The next day, on Monday, Jihan will take her final exams at her school.
But Jihan is not focused on learning. Unlike usual every night Jihan is always diligent in studying even though she will not test so she always gets a class champion. Even the general champion at his school. Jihan is a famous smart and diligent child.
But at this time because of the problem Jihan is not focused on learning even though she sits at the study table while reading her textbook.
He could not concentrate on reading it. His mind was always on his positive tespeck.
Even he always imagined that later his parents would throw him out when he found out he was pregnant.
That was what Jihan feared the most so she could not focus on learning.
Early in the morning, as usual, Jihan arrived at school. As soon as he arrived at his class, Jihan opened his notebook while trying to focus on studying, which would soon begin the exam.
Not long after, one by one, Jihan's classmates arrived.
“You've been a long time to Jihan?” rani asked as she approached Jihan.
“About half an hour ago I was here,” replied Jihan.
“Why fast times..”
“Because of the plan I want to learn.”
“I'm not focused. Since last night, I've read everything. But not a single one stuck in my mind.”
“You don't think of anything first. You think about your future. You must be able to finish this school with good grades. Especially so far you will always be the champion of the class even the general champion as well.”
“But for now I don't think I'm focused on learning Rani.”
Rani immediately smiled and gave strength to her friend.
“For a while you don't think about that problem just yet. Just think about how you can get good value.”
Unwittingly it turns out that Lusi who sat near them heard the conversation so that Lusi immediately wanted to know.
“What the hell is Jihan thinking?”
Jihan is confused as to what to answer but thankfully Rani can quickly answer it.
“The plan after the completion of this High School Jihan will be sent by her parents to college to Jogjakarta. Hence from now on Jihan had thought about it.”
“Enak donk when studying in Jogjakarta. Jogjakarta is a famous student city.”
“Indeed it was delicious but now that Jihan was thinking, she had to part with both people. Moreover, we know that Jihan is an only child and never separated from her parents.
That's why it makes Jihan heavy and always think about it,” explained Rani lying.
“Oh... I should have noticed lately that Jihan often daydreams.”
Rani who heard Lusi's words could only smile. Though in his heart he felt guilty for lying to Lusi. Jihan was silent because she couldn't think about it anymore.
***
During the week of the exam, Jihan tried to stay calm. He always remembers Rani's advice that should focus on her exams.
His gratitude in undergoing the test for a week Jihan was like being given strength by God so that she never felt nausea like before.
Jihan felt grateful because her worry about nausea and vomiting when undergoing the exam did not occur. Even Jihan felt stronger and fresher when facing the test. All this thanks to Rani's advice.

Today the final exam is over and the plan is to go home from school Rani and other compact friends like Rika, Lusi, Gio and Dedi will go to the flower garden to remember their last moments together while in High School.
As soon as the exam is over Rani and the other friends are already getting ready to go to the flower garden but Jihan is still sitting quietly on her stool. Seeing Jihan who was still relaxed Rani immediately approached her.
“Jihan, why are you still sitting back. Didn't you come with us to the flower garden?”
Jihan thought for a moment. “Sorry Rani. I didn't go with ya.”
“Indeed why Jihan?”
“I'm lazy. I want to go straight home and rest until home later.”
“Then we don't go to school tomorrow. So tomorrow you can rest. Today we spend our time having fun because this is the last day we get together.
After that, we are busy with our own business. You are going to Jogjakarta and I have been busy with the business of getting into college.”
“Rani, maybe I will not go to Jogja and of course you will know the reason.”
“Jihan, I want you to come with us. You should have fun today with us.”
Rani immediately pulled Jihan's hand so that Jihan could not resist. Finally Rani and other compact friends go to the flower garden by taking public transportation.
