The Struggle of a Child
The throwing that attacks
Septiani's face instantly blushed in embarrassment. "Engga, ah! Who's afraid? He's the one who's afraid of me, heh!" Turning his gaze away from Solihin tightly.
I who stood among them gawked at them mocking each other. The two netraku stared at Fikri without me noticing. I don't think time has been long enough with us on this hot pitch. Sweat had drenched both of my pale cheeks.
"Sir Duan, why haven't you moved here yet?" I asked Widia who stood up.
"The father spoke to Fikri again." Widia looked in the clear direction. "So serious. Fikri if you've met Mr. Duan, they must be more familiar."
"I know everywhere that sports teacher really needs a class leader" said Septiani. Sok knows.
"Sok knows you," said Solihin, mocking Septiani.
I just kept seeing them arguing. In the comfort that I suddenly felt, somehow my eyeball gaze unintentionally turned towards Fikri who still looked serious listening to the explanation from Mr. Duan.
"Kids!" call Mr. Duan out loud. "We're going to play a great game today." Mr. Duan looked excited. "This game I'm sure you'll love it. Especially the one whose son." The witty face of Mr. Duan was also seen. "Solihin, what are you doing there?" mister Duan asked reflex making Solihin surprised. "Solihin must love this game."
"Hhhh!" Solihin's face was seen staring at Mr. Duan with a gawk. Solihin seemed to not understand the purpose of Mr. Duan's conversation which suddenly disturbed him. "What game sir? What are we gonna play?" ask her question mark that haunts her comfort.
"I've already explained, not listened. I've been standing here so hot for a long time, but you don't know. Now come here, let's hurry!" press Mr. Duan while swinging his hand to call Sholihin.
"Don't dong sir. I'll listen to whatever you say" Solihin said, begging Mr. Duan to cancel his intention to call Sholihin.
"Solihin come here!" Mr. Duan continued to force Solihin to advance. "If you don't want us to keep standing in this sweat-draining field."
"Sir, I didn't do anything, sir. I just saw my foot, did it stomp on Liyan's foot?!" solihin continued to rotate the topic of conversation.
"Cabin." However, Mr. Duan continued to call Solihin until finally, he lost arguing with Mr. Duan so that he himself advanced to follow Mr. Duan's wishes.
My pale lips instantly smiled looking at Solihin's expression that sighed in surrender. "In the end, inevitably Solihin could not defeat Mr. Duan," I whispered.
"Yes Liyan, you're right, even the hard-to-beat Fikri can't do anything about it if, it's about Mr. Duan. Ahaha!" Widia laughed at Solihin's weak reaction helplessly.
"Solihin must be embarrassed when he looks at us later" I said flatly.
"Yes, he has high self-esteem, he said. Every time he spoke, it led to there. He wants to lose to anyone" Widia said.
"Liyan!" calling Mr. Duan suddenly surprised me.
"Yes sir," I said twisting both eyes immediately saw Mr. Duan's face.
"Get out of line" asked Mr. Duan. "Come fast! So that others can continue the game." Mister Duan swung his hand half in the air.
After hearing this, I am not happy. Even I grew up like, a silent fool fool with an empty look. My mind kept asking questions, and my mind kept working remembering things I didn't know.
"Sir, why is he being called forward?" tanya Tania was suddenly surprised.
"He wants to be in the law of the times," continued Ecy slowly.
"To enter the classroom," replied Mister Duan sternly.
"Sir, please him. Going to class and not playing sports" Tania was not happy to hear. "Whose son is he?" muttered Tania asked with a sinister face.
"Newly also sick like that, already told to sit, in order to rest," grumbled Ecy glanced at me with hatred.
"Sir, we're both learning." Tania continued to make an urgent voice so that Mr. Duan canceled his wishes.
"Father," he replied in embarrassment.
"So, you don't talk like a person who doesn't respect me" Duan told Tania.
"Liyan, now you're out of line," asked Mr. Duan for the umpteenth time.
I would not want to be obliged to follow orders from Mr. Duan because he is our teacher. So, whatever the decision, whether it is fun or not, I have to obey it as long as it does not harm anyone. The weight or lightness of his decision cannot be denied in the slightest.
"Liyan, go! What are you waiting for," Widia urged me vigorously.
"Yes, especially Liyan, hurry up!" Septiani also looks happy because I was given a dispensation not to follow the sport today.
"Well, I'm going to go into class, but I'm not feeling good because in class I'm not playing sports myself" I said grudgingly.
"Ngapain was afraid of Liyan. I just want Mr. Duan to tell me not to exercise. Surely I won't be tired, won't be exposed to heat, huh!" Septiani pulled the monkey out of his shirt as a sign that he was overheating.
"Go there! We're going to start the sport, the boys are out of line. Later you get hit by the ball because they are playing with the ball again," urged Widia and Septiani.
After that I then stepped out of line because I could not see the insistence of my two friends who were so worried about me. My two weak feet immediately stepped up.
Puk!
Suddenly, I was stunned, as soon as my two weak legs stopped pecking, like they were exposed to a strong adhesive.
"Haha! Their laughter was heard with great pleasure from seeing me in pain.
"He got the ball, it must have hurt, yeah, ups!" Tania was as if she did not know about it and seemed to be worried. Like he's like, a guy who pretends not to know.
"Surely she's in pain Tania?! It's too bad it's been sick, hit by the ball. Where the road is a long time, well, Liyan has a lot of pity on you," Ecy sneered with a sigh.
The silence inside me I felt for a moment. The ball toss that hit my chest so made my breath tight. My pale lips can't speak anymore, even if they just say pain. Only my meek hands can speak to ease the pain even though, unheard by the ears, enough staring eyes can be a listener to tell the pain I am experiencing.
"You're not complaining to your friend?" Tania and Ecy came straight at me so there was no visible distance between us.
"Usually, right, your pretentious friend comes straight to you. This why not?" tanya Tania tried to complain about the sheep.
"They're bored times. Again, face him like this." Ecy looked at me with one eye like, looking at the disgusting shit.
But I can't say a word. The feeling of a ball hitting a part of my body numbed half of my weak soul. My eyes looked at this world in the dark. The look I saw straight ahead was so twisted. Tania and Ecy were no longer concerned. What they said I no longer heard clearly.
