Marcel smiled happily as he read once again his handwriting on a folio paper. It was an Indonesian assignment that required all of his students to create a memorable story and Marcel was inspired by his mother's story. Be the story of his mother he made the short story with the title Photo..
Yesterday afternoon when she and her brother were coming home from school, they resumed the story of their mother. Activities that have been their favorite lately. Papa they came home in the afternoon, so they took advantage of that narrow time to go back to listening to the story of his mother.
In addition to the story of memories about the photo there is another story that was told Niken. That's enough to make Marsya and Marcel get carried away with emotions.
Here's the story....
***
This morning was bright with warm sunlight touching the skin. Niken even went to school with a carefree heart, the writings of Niken mrs Mulyono who again filled the entire whiteboard did not change the joy in his heart.
He looked at the writing for a moment with a peaceful heart. His feet kept stepping into his seat. There's Rindy leaning against the table exactly two tables in front of Niken's seat. At first Niken did not care because he did not want to damage the joy of the morning, but once Niken wanted to pass Rindy, Rindy's feet blocked Niken's steps. Niken's automatic steps stopped.
"Why was absent yesterday left in class? You don't miss nitipin on Jhon sir, do you?" cecar Rindy's fiery.
Niken who initially did not care about the existence of Rindy near his desk immediately realized that yesterday he had forgotten to miss the table Mr. Jhon. Because of his joking preoccupation with Adila, Salsa and Marwah finished the prophet's maid show. Especially after waiting for the bus, invited to a photo with Rayya and in gombalin with the word beautiful, Niken so forget everything including the absence of a beautiful still in class.
"Sorry Rin, I forgot that yesterday I was absent yet I left at the table Mr. Jhon," Niken's great-grandson began to fear. Judes on Rindy's face seemed to be out to the maximum making anyone who saw it immediately shrieked.
"Emang if you say sorry, absent can float alone on the word Jhon sir?" Niken shakes in fear.
"Udahlah Rin, do not need to be exaggerated, Niken would have apologized, besides the kayak that Lo said, you want to get angry too absent still can not float by itself to the table Mr. Jhon." Reni relaxed from her chair. Bad breath because from the moment he entered the classroom, Rindy had already gone berserk just because of the absence that was still lying sweet on the teacher's desk.
Reni knew it was not actually because of an absence problem that made Rindy angry but Niken was the one who had been Rindy incar from the beginning.
"Lo know Ren the danger if absent is not entrusted to the teacher's room? What if there are students who are fad change the number of absences, more dangerous what if the absence is lost? Emang Lo will want anyone who alpa every day?" Reni clucking.
He who initially did not care to move from his seat and approached Niken who could only bow down who had no intention at all to defend himself.
"Not to overdo it, the evidence is still safe, there is no prankster like you are afraid of."
"Just continue, over time the child is getting more and more tau no. Only a plain face can be shown to be pitied." Rindy took a step forward towards Niken, I don't know what she was going to do but Reni first held her shoulder and stared intently at Rindy.
"Not to be exaggerated." Prevent Reni still trying to be patient. Rindy has not had time to refute Reni's words, Dhani comes in thronged and yells to call Niken without realizing the hot atmosphere between Niken and her demons.
"Lo Campus!"
Niken headed to Pak Jhon's room with a feeling of raging, guessing what it was until he was told to face Mr. Jhon. In front of the teacher, Niken stopped for a moment. His hands are getting cold. His face had already begun to pale from the effects of excessive anxiety.
This is the first time Niken faced Mr. Jhon without a goal to be absent as usual. Peered inside, there are still many teachers who fill their respective tables. Naturally, the bells came in yet to ring. By saying bismillah in the heart of Niken resolved to knock on the door and approached Mr. Jhon who was writing something in his thick book.
"Excuse me sir," said Niken as decently as possible.
Mr. Jhon who heard the greeting Niken raised his gaze and nodded, telling Niken to sit down.
"What is it, sir, you told me to face?" Niken tried to set his tone as calm as possible even though in his heart there had been storms, earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis.
"Actually it is not an important matter anyway," said Mr. Jhon while smiling, "but because of the reports, yes you inevitably have to convey to you also. You heard yesterday you forgot to miss your spell. Is that really Niken?"
Niken's face immediately turned cold. Niken did not expect the problem of absence that fussed Rindy made him to have to deal with Mr. Jhon.
"Sorry sir, yesterday I forgot." Squeak Niken quietly and lowered his head.
"Don't repeat it again. We prevent the existence of students who are nosy, change the absence or worse steal the absence. You know yourself extracurricular activities at this school last until the afternoon. We don't know who the students that come in and out of your class are."
Niken nodded in favor of Mr. Jhon's words. What else can he do besides nod. Niken not fainting from fear alone is already a great miracle.
"Okay one more thing, I hear you in class always making a fuss." Niken raised his head.
"I mean sir?" sela Niken fast. His chest suddenly rumbled. Surprise especially this.
"You always make graffiti on the board with the writing you like Mulyono very much. Your classmates are annoyed by the writing. Moreover, the class is not conducive to learning because your temptation with Mulyono interferes with their learning concentration."
If Niken was grateful not to faint because of fear now Niken hopes there is a miracle of coming aliens and abduct Niken to be taken into space. Let Niken move home planet never set foot on earth and meet Mr. Jhon again. Niken is amazingly embarrassed especially the words spoken by Mr. Jhon contain a very vile slander according to Niken.
"Father knows in puberty like you this fondness with the opposite sex is commonplace but do not disturb the tranquility and concentration of your learning and your friends. You understand Niken?" Niken nodded with a stiff face.
I want to go home and cry inside my room. Want to refute all the words of Mr. Jhon but whatever power, his tongue stiff, his mind branched out everywhere.
