Story In July (End )
Day one - 18

The breeze gently blows my face accompanied by the hustle and bustle of bandung city that is so very felt by me, I slowly lean my head on the car seat while putting my face towards the window.

Staring blankly out there that looks like so many cars and motorcycles that crowded the highway, the only thing I want is that I want to hurry to school.

A few minutes later I finally arrived at the front gate of my school, I opened the car door and walked away.

Just a few steps I passed through the gate suddenly there was someone calling me, I stopped my steps and turned around.

"Huh ... Huh ... Huh ... Lo ... Bentar, I ... Take a breath first" he said with a breath of breath in each word, then he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly from his mouth.

"Lo from earlier I called, lo budeg yak!" his jolt with a breath that was still a little breathless.

Do you know who he is?

"No.." I replied indifferently and turned my back and stepped my feet, leaving him in place.

"God! Wait for me!" he shouted again, then chased after me until we finally walked along the corridor many who looked at me even some were whispering about me.

"You mean the girl next to the girl with short hair right?"

"Yeah ... You don't believe it if it turns out that he is ... "

I don't really listen to the whispers of the people I've been through, anyway ... Make what? A waste of time, right?!

When I got to the front of the class I was presented with people who crowded on my desk, then I also frowned at me why so gathered there si? I'm the one who wants a list of subdivisions, I thought.

"Woy! You guys are doing a little gathering on me my best friend!!" hearing Amel's screams instantly I instantly widened my eyes and glanced at him sharply.

He walked up to my desk and pushed some of the people in the way and a few seconds later he was right on the spot, seeing his strange reaction then I frowned and approached them and for a moment I stared at the place.

How not? Who keeps flowers, chocolates and even gift boxes on my desk.

"Well, when did you become famous? The feeling of when you just entered there is no such thing" said Amel.

Don't ask me, I even feel uncomfortable with these scattered gifts they are not working.

"Good morning all!!" cheering someone from the doorway, the reflexes of all pairs of eyes looked towards the source of the voice who else if not the Princess.

"Eh?! What the hell is this about gathering there? Again there is a free oil distribution yak" he said as he walked up to us, after which he suddenly widened his eyes and his body also pegged on the spot.

"Wa today you're again yak's birthday? Lots of gifts. There is more chocolate so want" Princess looks very sparkling to see the chocolate and the gift.

"If you want to take it" I said.

Instantly they looked at me with a look of disbelief, not least with the Princess who had been sparkling to see chocolate immediately distracted by listening to my words earlier.

"What a real lo! When the gift of giving someone else even you love someone else again" said Amel.

"Well, what do these gifts do? I don't want to either"

"But Wa, you should at least accept the gift of the kasian who loves him" said the Princess.

I roughly exhaled from my mouth "They gave me the gift, right? So yes it's up to me to be convinced"

"No..! Anyway you have to accept this gift, continue not to be loved to people especially if you throw it away. Examples of bad children"

"Hm whatever" my finish.

I sat my ass in the chair and stared at all the gifts flat, when I came home from school with this? Thought.

Then suddenly someone gave me a cloth bag and he was the class president in my class Beni said.

"Now..! For you, I asked for it from the cafeteria." he said, I took the bag and put all the presents in.

"Thank you" I said, then he smiled and returned to his stool.

"Pst Zah..!" whispered the Princess who was behind me, I turned my body and stared lazily at her.

"When did you get to the owl?"

"Farrel ghost?!" amel's Beo.

"Yeah ... Owl, look at his face it's usually also serem"

"What's the other name?" amel asked, feeling that there was nothing more to talk about, and I turned back.

"No..! I think it's more suitable" his sword glanced at me and then glanced back at me.

"Thus ... Since when?"

"I don't know" I replied without turning back to him.

"Thou art so, have a thud do not tell me"

Hearing her words I turned my back, and looked at her sharply.

"Whisper!" 

..._o0o_...

Finally the bell that I was waiting for has now sounded ouh well do you know? There was a lot that happened earlier, I who was suddenly given a gift, suddenly became the spotlight in the cafeteria... Although not a strange thing. But this is in another form! Then the teachers were suddenly friendly and almost all the students in my school became many who approached me even some were acting pretty close.

"Wa long time I envy you" said the Princess, I frowned.

"I mean?"

"Well... I think you'll be the golden boy at this school"

"But strangely, suddenly they become good even the ajah who had a jutek-jutek face suddenly turned 180°" timpal Amel.

"Yes, too, yak...!" sahut Princess.

Suddenly there was an osis leader who approached us, then the head of the osis also said that the headmaster wanted to meet me, immediately Amel and the Princess looked at each other.

"Now brother?!" ask Amel.

"Dad now"

We also walked to the secretary room along the way to the secretary room there were so many various assumptions that raged in my brain, but I always brushed it off and focused more to get to my destination.

When I arrived in front of the door of the secretary's room I slowly opened the door while greeting, and saw the captain who looked a little enthusiastic to see me.

I sat my butt in the chair in front of the vice president's desk, and I looked at his smiling face in my direction.

"What's up, sir?" kikuk.

"So this is it, son..?"

"Zahwa."

"Well right... Nak Zahwa's. You know right?! Every once a year there will always be a single meticulous intelligent competition between schools. So..."

I stared lazily at the secretary, I already knew where this conversation path would lead.. I can certainly guess

"You want to be the school's representative for the race?"

"Don't.." I muttered.

"Yes, what's wrong with Zahwa? Do you have any objections?"

"Eum... That's. Actually I'm a little..."

"Little what..?" as usual.

"I'm a little unsure sir"

"Not sure how..? The proof is that you can answer a difficult question given by Ms. Cici yesterday, according to your father is a very accomplished student" hearing that I was silent for a while, I was starting to think it turned out that Cici's mother gave the test on purpose well that's what I had in mind.

Long enough I was silent until I finally tried to reject the offer of the secretary sir subtly "Although, sorry sir... I can't. But sir, I'm sure there must be students who are more accomplished and more than me, after all, I'm not experienced about a careful intelligent race like this.." my alibi.

Actually I lied I've often followed smartly between schools from the past not even just the city level but the provincial level, and after yesterday's incident I stopped to take part in the race because my mental disorder became even more so if I felt depressed.

"Then excuse me" said I as I moved to my place and began to move my legs.

"Are you sure you're inexperienced..? Ambitious queen" I was a little jolted and silent in place, honestly I really did not like the name of the name then I turned my body and stared flat at my opponent.

After a long time finally the name was heard again by my two ears well... That title they always say to me just because I was always the first champion in that competition.

From since the careful intelligent competition between SD to Junior High they must be familiar with children who they think have high ambition, but unfortunately their guesses are wrong.

Not me who has a high ambitious but both of my parents who have a high ambitious, I did not think it turns out my nickname spread to this city.

"What father mean? Calling me that way." my opponent chuckled amusedly at my question as if I were joking.

"You don't think you know, that you're the one who's always won the smart race meticulously for years and then you've disappeared without news for the last 2 years. A pity... "

"What does it have to do with my father if I quit?"

"Well, it's got nothing to do with it, but you know why you stopped running a race like that" hearing that, I frowned.

"Because of you.." the net at a glance.

"Having a mental breakdown right" he pressed down with eyes that looked at me with an intimidating look.

As soon as I widened my eyes even my heart was beating so violently, why would the captain know? Though all this time my mental disorder was very secretive even those who knew it were only people close to me, that's what I had in mind.

"Don't be surprised son Zahwa you can keep it a secret from anyone, only if you.." again the secretary paused his speech.

"Always follow this race and always win it. That's just nothing more"

"What if I refuse?!" my spoken.

"Well... There is no other way but to get you out of this school, because somehow this school does not accept students who have mental disorders like you" he threatened with a cynical smile.

But nevertheless.. Why does my heart feel so hard to do it? Questions ran through my mind, then suddenly someone broke down the door and the bully was...

"You people! Don't you have any manners? Who told you to come in?!" sentak kepsek sir.

"Sorry sir to me, a friend who is threatened here is more important than manners" said Amel while folding his hands in front of him.

"Sir why maksa Zahwa? Zahwa has refused and after all, is it appropriate for you to threaten like that?!" princess Timpal.

"Shut up! You've been brave well, when you're just a student here!" sentak kepsek sir.

"Of course we dare sir, why are we afraid?!" chirps Amel again, he is indeed outspoken to anyone I praise his courage.

"Aren't you afraid to get out of this school?! If you want you to be able to get you out and it's not difficult for you"

"I'm not afraid. That means you are ready to go to jail because you have broken the law" said Amel who did not want to lose.

Hearing Amel's words for a moment, the secretary revealed a cynical smile frankly "You don't know well?! For the father it has no effect"

"Okeh, if that's why I'm getting out of this school late, rather than continuing to school here whose leader is dying short-sighted" suddenly the Princess said that with her hands folded over her chest.

"What did you say! The insolent!! You weren't taught manners by your parents?!"

"Sir!!" snapped the Princess, we immediately gasped and looked at the Princess.

"Never insult my parents! This has nothing to do with them, it is possible here the father who is not taught politely by his parents!"

I widened my eyes with Amel, and he looked at the Princess with great surprise.

"It turns out you're very brave yeah ... What's your name? Let the father get you out first"

"Princess Augustin class 10 ips 1" replied the Princess firmly, the secretary also began to look for documents.

"God! Put you seriously?!" amel asked while whispering into the Princess' ear.

"Serious cave. Because I don't want to be with the same mother father insulted like gini, don't want me" said Putri by emphasizing the word at the end of his sentence.

"But Put doesn't need to be kayak that time either"

"Gue doesn't care, for me the honor of my parents is more important"

For a moment I felt that the Princess's actions were right but somehow this might still be wrong, and on the other hand, it is also the principal who is more wrong just because he is the director does not mean he can do as he pleases.

I took something out of my uniform pocket and played a recording of the conversation I, Amel and the Princess had with the three bullies.

"Where do you know he's a bully?!"

Instantly, the secretary stopped his activities and searched for the origin of the sound, then either possible because he had found the origin of the sound from where it came from then the captain also glanced at me.

"Gue knew from the other kids he said he was a bully here. But he survived mulu never punished even his foul attitude was never caught the same pak kepsek"

"God! If Lidya's a bully here, what's the problem for you"

"Eh but, if looked at the heck I just saw you three you must be adek-adek class we are, Adek class ajah already dagu!"

"So.. Lidya's sister likes to bully the schoolgirls here?!" 

"So you're the story's starting to scare me"

"Yes! I like to ngebully the children of students here are not even just schoolgirls, my students are ladenin and I am not afraid of being punished. Because what? Because I definitely trust me more, so... I'm really my bestie kyu"

"Yoiii"

Pips...

After that, I turned off the sound recording pen and immediately the captain looked at me with a look of disbelief.

"So don't think I'm afraid of your threats. I can also threaten back" my challeng while smiling cynically.

"What do you mean? And whose voice is it?!"

I was upset to hear it and put the pen back in my uniform pocket, then stared lazily at the talking man in front of me.

"Well, sir, the voice of the child himself is not familiar? Oh or maybe the father knew but pretended not to know," my finger at a glance.

"Udahan deh sir kedawarannya mending now also my father if you actually know? That the father himself is the mastermind of all bullying cases in this school" the kepsek still silent look at me sharply and may still listen to every word I say.

"When do you want to sir? When do you want to hide? Keep going until when do you keep going..?" my toilet.

"Don't interfere and hand over the tape, or..."

"Or what sir?!" as if.

"Do you want to go out with me and my two friends? Okeh! It's up to you but for sure I will present this evidence to the community, well.. It could be that the reputation of the father can decline 180°" my fingers at a glance with the same face, while the one who was stared at even stared intently at me as if he wanted to swallow me alive.

"alright... I'm not gonna do anything. You may go" I smiled triumphantly and pulled the hands of Amel and the Princess out of this tiger pit.

..._o0o_...

"Your daughter was so brave. I didn't think you could be that brave" said Amel, how many times he said that.

"Hoooh... The typical Amel ajah bluntly immediately threatened the like so" taunted the Princess followed by laughter at the end of her sentence.

"Isa.. Whataan the lo! I'm not afraid, only if I'm out of this school that there is a good name nyokap ama bokap I can be tainted."

"Uuhh time anyway?!" princess Goda.

Not long after I heard a ringing sound from my phone, I picked up the phone call.

"Hem assalamualaikum sis, what's wrong?"

" ... " silent, the interlocutor is silent, there is no word from him at all.

"Sister..?" ask me and again brother did not scowl.

I also stopped my steps and was no exception with Amel and Princess who also stopped their steps.

"Sister Riza is not funny. If brother nelfon just to play around or ngajak kidding mending brother blush, my mood is not good anymore so I matiin yah.."

"Good you deck.." sidelines Riza made me undo my intention to turn off my phone call with her.

"Mammy? Why is mamah? Do you not want to take any more medicine? Or is it hard to eat? I was just here so I could go there for maksa mamah so I could eat. Yeah..?! It was assalamu--"

"Your friend has no deck" sidelines Riza in a soft tone, for a moment it feels like time stops and my heart also feels stopped beating even my legs feel unable to support my body.

"What does brother mean?"

"You have no Zah.. Sorry brother, sister tried as hard as brother but-"

"No! Brother must be lying, right? It's just prank right, seriously this brother is not funny!"

"Serious brother deck"

Finally I got to the point where I could not always look okay, my right hand that was holding the phone suddenly felt weak and dropped my phone.

Amel and the Princess who saw me started to feel worried and held my shoulder because they saw my body that almost staggered back.

"Zuh..! You're not papa, are you?" ask Amel.

"Wa why are you? Did something happen to your mom?" princess Timpal.

"Zah! Lo why?" urged Amel.

"Java!" his jolt.

Instead of answering I ran away leaving those who were looking at me with question marks.

Every step I took every single one of my heartbeats raced fast, when I arrived at the hospital I continued to run to the room my mother was in.

After being in front of the inpatient room owned by my mother I also slowly opened the door, and saw Riza and the two patients who were cleaning the tools there.

I slowly stepped on my feet somehow every moment I passed with him turned around in my head like a rollercoaster, and even my chest felt very tight.

Not long after Riza's sister turned her body immediately when Riza's sister looked surprised to see me who was suddenly beside her, Riza's sister suddenly hugged me and stroked the shoots of my head.

"You're patient on deck. You calm ajah, you do not need to think about the funeral mama you let brother take care of everything. You rest at home..?"

"Where can I rest, brother..?" sister Riza let go of her embrace and her eyes looked straight at me.

"Where can I rest..? Papah can not be contacted and mbok again go home, I'm alone again sis.." I said in a raucous tone.

As soon as Sister Riza brought her index finger closer to my lips "Who are you alone?!, there is a big brother right..? And there's.." Riza's sister stopped her words and her eyeballs moved to the right.

Then I frowned and I turned my head towards the doorway and saw Amel and the Princess standing there.

"Such son lo, play ninggalin it dead" said Amel with a bent face.

"Wa you don't think we have yah..?" ask Princess.

Hearing that it felt like all the burdens that were piling up inside me slowly began to fade, not long after that the Princess walked towards me and hugged me tightly after that they took me out of the room.

I never expected the presence of a friend or anything because I used to assume that no one would want to be friends with someone who had a mental disorder like me, but now unexpectedly it turns out all the assumptions are just a delusion.

In fact, there are still people who want to accept me as I am, thank you very much because you have wanted to be friends and family for me. Thanks again.

Seriate...
