The Zed Analytical Number Nine
Accepting the Reality

Time had already taken the fifth day, just as those who were getting used to this inconvenience had passed by them every day.

Just today, Zaskia hasn't shown her nose at school. He still has not dared himself to be faced with things worthy of crowded. And on this day exactly he broke up with his lover named Adnan, captain of the men's basketball team at his school.

According to him, this is Zaskia's first appearance that is far from perfect. Her self-confidence dropped dramatically, after the changes that happened to her. It is like losing direction, the joy cannot be seen again. Now he is increasingly aware, if Adnan can only accept a woman in terms of physical alone.

This is the atmosphere of classroom XI IPA 2 basic A in the school.

"Eh Zin's. Zaskia where the hell is she? Did he not tell me? She's telling you, isn't she?" Zevana asked while leaning aside and looking behind her seat.

"....." Zinta was silent and did not pacify him.

"Lo why did he? Answer dong!" Zevana is back.

Instead of not answering Zevana's questions, Zinta got out of her seat and moved, approaching her classmate Ali.

"Origin! The bench next to you is empty, right?" Ask Zinta who is still not interested in answering questions from her best friend.

"It's empty, why? Do you want to sit with me like Zin?" Sahut Ali with his shady gaze saw Zinta's face that looked more beautiful with a different appearance than usual.

Though Zinta only wore brown fake hair and cloth masks. He only showed the beauty of his sparkling eyes.

"Why didn't you answer my question just now? Really good!" Gerrutu Zevana's.

"Can you not?" Sahut Zinta who still does not respond to the voice of Zevana.

"Maybe" replied Ali with a sweet smile and let Zinta sit next to him.

"Hopefully you understand my current thoughts Zev!" Zinta murmured in his heart.

Hearing this, now it was Zevana's turn to be quiet and calm. The first lesson's entrance hour began, Ms. Lolita the chemistry teacher came.

As soon as he put his handbook on his desk, his netizens began to glance at the ledger titled 'Student Absent List'.

Then he opened it and touched it piece by piece in his book. Unexpectedly when Bu Lolita was passing one of her students, something surprised her.

"Dito Prayoga?" Said Bu Lolita holding her pen.

"Hadir Ma'am!" Answer Dito.

"Zweta Sharon?" Said Ms. Lolita.

"I am present!" Zweta answered while raising her right hand up.

"Zaskia Watson?" Said Mrs Lolita back.

"No, she said she was sick" Sahut Zevana.

Without realizing it, his voice forgot he conditioned so that the sound of mother-and-form is heard by all residents in one classroom.

Then Ms. Lolita wrote Zaskia's absence, and began to speak again one after another.

"Who was that voice? Ko looks like my mother's voice?" Bu Lolita asked who was surprised to hear where the voice came from.

Looking around the room, there were no suspicious faces of students.

"Waduh keceplosan deh" murmured Zevana in his heart.

Simultaneously, Zevana immediately looked at Zweta's face without cause.

"Why are you thinking I'm rich?" Ask Zweta carefully.

"..........." Zevana just went silent without a word while raising one of her eyebrows that she showed Zweta.

Hearing Zweta's words, Zevana began to move her eyes towards her classmates, then she could only smile thinly, her eyes fixed on Zweta's expression she saw.

Finally, Zweta agreed on the purpose of Zevana's goal. Zweta who relented and admitted that the voice of the mother-former was hers while mimicking the voice of Zevana just now.

"Mu just need my voice, ma'am!" Said Zweta who dared to take a stand to protect the problems faced by her best friend.

"Owala.. So that was your voice, Zweta? Ha haha" Bu Lolita replied while laughing out loud.

...* * * *...

Still in the same year, Zinta's research became a bitter reality to remember.

Early in the morning he had walked to the garden near his house, seeking fresh air and peace of mind. He cannot think critically.

Why did this big problem just happen?

There were big things to decide, and Zinta didn't know how to get into the lab, where a lot of information was there. Zinta tries to recall the scientific discussion slowly. Close your eyes and shoulders on a long, brown chair in a park. Zinta said the words she said like this.

"The characteristics of chemical changes are temperature changes, color changes, the appearance of deposits, the appearance of gases, and pH changes" he said alone.

That was all she remembered, suddenly Zinta heard the voice of someone who spoke slowly nearby and said.

"Need Prof's help?" Ask someone to approach him.

It turned out that the one who came was Zweta. Coincidentally was exercising early in the morning in the park with his cousin Ali.

Zinta became flabbergasted and opened her two closed eyes. Look to the right where the sound is coming from.

"Zweta? What the hell is you doing here? Loh Ali's? You two.." Said Zinta who did not believe what he saw in front of him.

"Isn't this a public place, Prof? Anyone can come here including me. Ali's? Oh no-no, plis don't misunderstand ya. Ali is my cousin Zin. Sorry I just said it now" replied Zweta.

He sat down in the chair next to Zinta.

"Eemm. yes" Zinta said.

With a slightly stammered voice, as if hinting that he did not want to change his identity known to others, except his three best friends.

"oh Ali sorry yes, we want to talk to four eyes only" Pinta Zweta who knows the Zinta's intent signal.

"Ohiya gapapa, if that's what I'm going back first Zwet. I turned back Zin" Ali said before he left, he gave a sweet smile to Zinta.

"If it's not wrong, just say you need help again huh? eemm... what is it... still apply?" Zinta asked back just to make sure that she didn't hear wrong.

"Ha haha is okay. I thought it would be a fun adventure. Genius Zinta will be on the same team as me" said Zweta, laughing loosely and a bit of subtle innuendo.

"Lo is also a genius you know, even without books and calculators, your brain power is very good to be able to remember in detail the discussion of school lessons or general knowledge" Answer Zinta who tried to encourage Zweta.

"Gue realized in this world no one is perfect, it turns out basically someone needs other people also to learn better" Zinta said back while trying to toughen up with the heavy burden he is currently experiencing.

"Gue needs lo Zweta's help" Zinta said in a voice that sounded like holding back a cry of regret.

"Thanks Zin, you want to accept my presence" replied Zweta who began to be touched by the words of his best friend.

"Let's go to the lab, when will we wait? Next year?" Take Zweta nosy.

Vigorously as he extended his hand towards Zinta.

Zinta smiled and reached out to Zweta to immediately rush to the intended location.
