"So, you really stink, An!" Elsa flutters her hands in front of her nose, as Ana sits in front of her.
"Mending was in the shower, so it didn't pollute this class!" The goddess sitting on the bench next to Ana chimed in.
Ana could only shut up, not responding to the jeers of her classmates. For some reason, he used to choose to sit on that bench, surrounded by a gentile but ruthless gang in his class. Ana also does not know, what causes them to hate him so much, since the first time he introduced himself as an orphan living in a orphanage, he was getting bad treatment from his friends.
"Already! It's already! Focus back! We continue the lesson today!" Mr. Maher stopped a commotion in his class.
For a while, Ana could be a little calm. At least he won't be bullied, or scorned by his friends anymore.

After school, Ana returns home on foot. The location of the orphanage with Ana school is not too far away, only about 500 meters. Not too tired even though walking. Actually it's not just him, the orphanage that goes to high school. But somehow, it seems only Ana who fared less well. While his friends, no one complained, got bad treatment from friends in his class.
"We're home!" Ana takes off her shoes and keeps them on a shoe rack in front of the dormitory. Then go into the dormitory.
"Good afternoon! What's your school? Smoothly?" Ms. Sinta kindly welcomed the arrival of the foster children.
"Surf, Mom!" Ana and her two friends who both went to high school immediately greeted Ms. Sinta, as a sign of their respect, to the person who had been nurturing them since childhood.
"Thank God! Please rest first! Lunches. The food is in the dining room. We'll clean up in the afternoon, okay? Help your brothers too." Ms. Sinta told Ana and her two friends.
"Good, Mom!"
Ana and her two friends leave Sinta. They went to their own rooms. In the room, there are several rooms. Each room is occupied by children aged SD to SMA. They are equally divided, so that large children can help young children. So they can be very familiar with their roommates, despite the different ages.
As for the room for the baby, distinguished. The toddlers come in the nursery room, so as not to interfere with the learning of children who have gone to school. As a toddler, there is no distinction between the male and female rooms. Only after school will the boys be separated from their dorms, along with special male caregivers as well. So there will be no things to worry about, if they are already in their teens.
"Hello, Sister Ana! Just home?" The children who roomed with Ana welcomed Ana's arrival.
"Hello! Yeah, just got home. You guys have been home since?" Ana smiled kindly, here she was truly appreciated and loved. Different than at school.
"Udah, Brother! Ana has not eaten yet? Kitchen is great today! Ana wants to eat first!" Lisa, a child who has been in the 2nd grade of Junior High, tells Ana the good news. Indeed, it is not every day that the children of the home can eat well. Because it all depends on the donors who give them the cost to connect the lives of these children. Being able to eat regularly was already very lucky, so they never complained about food.
"Yes, I'll eat. Now take a break, just a minute." Ana placed her school bag in the corner of the room.
In the not-so-extensive room, Ana slept with her three younger siblings, using two thin floor mattresses that they put together as one, to fit the four. Mattresses are usually rolled up in the morning, and in the title again at night. During the day like this, they sit or lie on the carpet.
There is no study table or chair. They used to study on the floor. Inside the room was a large closet, which had been divided into ownership, to store their clothes. The textbooks, they store them on plastic shelves. So they still have their own place to store their belongings. It's just the facilities inside each room.
There are no electronic devices in the room, except lighting. While other facilities, placed outside the room, can be used by anyone. Like a fan, or an ironing device in a room without a door, which is more outside than the bedroom. The room was even enough to gather the children of the orphanage.
"OK! Sis, we're going to the middle room! Want to fidget." Lisa asks Ana for permission.
"Oh, okay. I'll follow you later." Ana also felt very sultry, but she had to change clothes first.
"okay, Sis. Yuk!" Lisa invites her two friends to the living room, the only room that has a fan in the princess dormitory.
Ana is now in the room alone. He decided to change his clothes immediately and wash them straight away. Even though tomorrow he will wear the same uniform, but he does not want his sweaty clothes to be the subject of ridicule from his classmates again.
After washing clothes, Ana returned to the room, and it turned out that her sisters were still in the living room. Ana decides to pick up her diary. A book that is no different from any other textbook, no one will realize that it is a diary. Although Ana specialises in the book to write down everything she feels and she complains. He was not brave enough to tell stories with others, because he did not want it to be fatal later.
[Monday, March 2nd
Today I got back to the bad treatment from Elsa. I tried to obey what he wanted, I gave him my repeated answer, so he wouldn't hurt me anymore. But when we were both punished, he started again with his attitude.
He grabbed me violently. He told me hurtful words. When a friend I didn't know wanted to help me, he got a tantrum from Elsa.
I was afraid to ask anyone for help. I don't want to get anyone else to get Elsa's hate on me. Elsa really wanted me to be a slave that she could treat at will.
Maybe no one will be able to get me out of Elsa's trap. Until anytime. I really feel alone.]
Ana closed her diary book, without feeling it, her tears began to drip.
"Just calm down, An. I, Nadia, will avenge you! Elsa's gonna get what you've been through. You can calm down!" Nadia smiled again. He focused on doing daily repetitions.
Until the end of Bu Beti's lesson, Elsa has not returned. There are two possibilities, Elsa runs away, or Elsa actually cleans the bathroom seriously. Nadia did not care, if indeed she ran away, would definitely get a heavier punishment than Bu Beti later.
When the next lesson is almost over, Elsa is back. He asked the teacher for permission to be allowed to enter the class, after explaining what happened.
"Next time, don't cheat again! You have to believe in yourself! The value of paper is nothing, compared to the value of honesty. It's not just for Elsa, for everything. Understand yeah?"
"Goodbye, Mom!"
"Please get back to your seat, Elsa!" Bu Guru Bahasa Indonesia invited Elsa.
"Thank you, Mom." Elsa's down, she looks so cute.
"Okay, my lesson is enough. Thanks for your attention." Indonesian Teacher leaves class. Makes the classroom atmosphere a bit rowdy.
Elsa returned to her seat, in front of Nadia.
"God! It smells!" Nadia closed her nose tightly. Although actually just to make Elsa embarrassed in front of her friends alone.
"What the hell are you?" Elsa doesn't accept, it says stink.
"The truth is you stink! It is rich in cockroaches! Smell of the bathroom. Hoek." Nadia stuck out her tongue, pretending to be nauseous.
"It's all because of you! If you don't tell me about Ms. Beti, I won't be punished for cleaning the bathroom!" Elsa gets more brutal, she approaches Nadia, pushing her shoulders.
"Keep wronging others! If you don't cheat, I won't admit you either! Hence, so that person often skipped! He is wrong, he likes to hurt others. That's right, what you used to do with Ana?" Nadia smiled cynically. He wanted to know what Elsa's reaction was, when she called the name of Ana who had died by suicide by jumping into a big river. Although his body was not found until this time.
Elsa's face instantly turned deathly pale.
"Who are you really? Why do you know my problem with Ana? You weren't here at the time?" Elsa looks scared.
"You don't need to know who I am! Clearly, I'm not Ana that you can step on as well as you!" Nadia forcibly removed Elsa's hand from her shoulder. He smiles satisfied, he manages to make Elsa haunted by guilt, and it will continue to do, until Elsa gets a proper reply.
