Chapter 3

"We have to practice ayoo choir!!"

Me, Ben and Rival thought that the class leader had decisively told them to hurry to the music room. I still noticed Nala who was joking with other girls while writing something to connect her conversation.

"He has the tools to listen"

"Huh? What's the tool like?"

"I don't know either"

I turned to Sira and Rival who were busy talking about Nala's hearing device. I've seen the device, it's red and it seems to help her communicate a lot.

"Later I'll show you! I'll take his tools"

"Why are you still in class??!!"

The piano clang that Lin's mother played sounded so melodious and we were lined up neatly preparing to sing a national mandatory song for the independence race later. I was the one standing at the top and could see what was going on downstairs, and I could see the nosy Sira playing her phone checking social media and also replying to some messages. Sira is indeed a girl who does not comply with the school rules, she brought hp without the knowledge of Mr. Kama.

"Dna...Khaas..Mhaa.-"

"Nala, the sign hasn't come in yet. You sing too fast. I'll pat you if I start singing okay?"

Me and all the disciples turned to Nala who with her innocent face nodded according to the instructions from Luna.

"Ouch, messy"

And I could see the expression of Sira who seemed to curse and whisper to the girl next to her.

Finally the rehearsal was over, me and my two best friends left the music room at first no matter what Lin's mother was explaining to the other students. We walked slowly to the school cafeteria and once in a while I pinched Ben's cheek and embraced him.

"I think this race is gonna be fucked up"

"Aa, not Sira. I'm sure he'll try"

"Impossible"

"It's Sira, she's different from us"

Me, Ben and Rival overhear a conversation between Sira and her other girl in the classroom hallway. They're talking about someone, if it's not wrong they're talking about Nala.

"You want to add more?"

"Eh, what's with your right cheek? I just saw, like there was a bruise"

"Ooh, here. I beat my mom"

"Don't you mind the bread?!"

Rival smiled shook his head, and Ben laughed at me. What can I do, I finally laughed because I was caught stealing mother's merchandise bread without paying and mother lost the three loaves I gave for fish food.

"May I see that tool?"

I'm sure, this time Sira won't seriously do it. Ben and Rival seem enthusiastic, Nala releases one hearing device and gives it to Sira. Sira smiled mischievously and then threw the tool at Ben and Rival, Nala's face looked worried when the tool managed to land in both hands of Rival.

"Woah what is this"

I also saw, and it turns out that's the form of a hearing device specifically for Deaf. But all of a sudden, the device was thrown back at Sira with a smile that I was very familiar with.

"SYRIA!!..."

The tool was thrown out the window by Sira, the entire class seemed silent to see the behavior of Sira. I could see Luna standing up and gripping her shoulders strongly with an angry look and Nala, she still looked shocked by what Sira did to her.

I turned my head quickly at the cross-sectioned Rival looking at me with a cold face. I just fell silent unable to answer the question from Rival. Yes, I just shouted Sira's name when it came out the window and my voice was louder than angry people.

'PLACARD!'.

"Excession!"

I was again shocked by Luna who bravely slapped Sira in the face because she was angry with her treatment. The others immediately broke up, there was no resistance from Sira she just laughed turning towards the three of us while holding next to her cheeks which instantly flushed red.

"Sorry Nala, my hand slipped"

I looked back at Nala who was busy calming Luna down and when she heard Sira's words, she looked at Sira's back with a sad face. This time Sira has gone too far, yesterday she was the best with Nala. Now why did he act like that on purpose?!.

"Sira, what are you doing?"

I looked at Sira who was looking back at me in wonder. I also wonder why he is so disgusted by me. I asked the right thing.

"Don't go along with Yoko's weird attitude. Come on guys"

---

"Yoko, we go first. We're going to Sira's house. Wait a minute, do you want to come?"

"No, I have to help you sell"

"All right, see you later"

The three of them then left me alone in the classroom still had to erase the writings on the blackboard of the former lesson. Today we went home a little early because the teacher held a monthly meeting. So it's natural that Ben and Rival want to play first, usually today we will go to the pond to feed the fish. But since mom was mad at me yesterday, I got scared to take 3 more loaves. Maybe later, when some of my mother's unsalted breads will be brought to them. So let them be friends with Sira first.

When I walked through the school garden, my eyes accidentally saw Nala was busy in the bushes looking for something. What a tool it is!.

"Nlade!"

I startled her, she flinched and turned around quickly rubbing her chest and looked towards me with a puzzled face. I can only smile clumsily, I think he's angry with me too. But I don't care, maybe if I helped him for a while he wouldn't be so mad at me.

"Yesome!!"

I laughed at the device lying in the grass, and I noticed it was still good. No abrasions or damage. Nala came to me with a happy face and saw, she took hers and seemed to blow it a little before it was put back into the ear.

"Hows it? Is the device okay?"

Nala swerved here and there after I spoke, then she nodded happily at me. I am also happy because the tool is fine. And I also did not forget to apologize for Sira's behavior today, Nala shook her head softly with a smile. I don't know what he meant. Then I clasped my hand like I was shaking hands, and used sign language that I didn't know what it meant.

"Mha.khashih"

I was just astonished, unable and unable to understand what all the languages meant. And to appreciate it, I tried to be sure by nodding and saying yes. Maybe true, he then waved his hand as he got further away from me and then ran small towards the school gate.

"Did he just try to thank you?"

'**Sign Language'

'Thank you very much Yoko**!'
