Tuti Lazy School
40. A Few Years Ago

This year I will finish my Madrasah. There is no more Buk Lasmine in my life, my daily life, even my mind. I fear that in the next year it will happen again. But I'm not paying attention for a while. Another month I went back to Madrasah to take my diploma. Now, at this time, at this hour, in this second and right at this moment, I am in my new class. I'm in sixth grade now, SD. I was waiting outside with my other friends. In the line was diabsen and there were those who entered Local B and Local A. We used to have 3 local. Now only two local, because the class and the land is lacking. So we were merged and in the class roker. At the time of my turn, the two teachers were deliberating on where to put this self waiting. Oh yes on the left, the teacher who saw his name was Buk Eriana and next to him was Buk Deriana. You think they're twins? No, no, no,.. They are different, just coincidentally. They still cannot decide. I with babibu chose a class that was in class with Ningsih. Isa is next door. I choose

"At that side Buk." I chose class A. Because with Ningsih.

I was excited to reach Ningsih "Heyy, I chose this class." I was happy to jump.

"That's not fun, cheating.. I wanted Isa to be put here." Ningsih was a little disappointed.

I convinced him "Sst, it's okay if I take a break I tell you I can go to the next class." I convinced.

I was happy there because my friends were quick to adapt and blend in. I thought everything would be fine. Is this just my instinct? Maybe, but I'm not sure either. But I ignored.

...

I see the day changing. Now he's not like the Ningsih I know. My heart felt like it was changing, but my mind said maybe it was mingling with others. I'm starting to ignore him. I'm friends with the others. There were twins in that class. Reino And Reini. I'm familiar with Reina at this point. I think he's nice and handsome. Women's dream criteria, but maybe for a Primary School kid like me it's not worth saying that. Whether I've started puberty, I don't know either. There was a boy named Lily. Lily from the next class, I know she's kind and friendly too. She is indeed a beautiful girl who is also smart in the academic section. Many boys are crazy and amazed with Lily. I tried to get myself familiar with him

"Hi Lily, go to the cafeteria." Take me.

"Oh yuk." He answered without hesitation.

"Ehh Ly you're a teacher's son, right?"

He nodded in agreement "Yes, why Tuti?"

I stammered a little to answer "Yes nothing, anyway.. It's just it." I soon forgot about that strange topic.

We immediately took a seat. I'm looking for my friend if Ningsih leaves me. Not for bad prejudices. But from his gestures I suspected he was turning away from me. I chatted and often didn't reply. Sometimes at home he was reluctant or felt that I was in the house was just a bully.

*At home Ningsih*

"Shy, Ningsih..?" I said hello outside his house. I feel like I'm almost half an hour without anyone to say anything, except Grandma.

"Eneng opo ndok?"

(What's up?)

"Is there a Grandma?"

"Ohh? Ning, Ningsih?" His grandmother called out in a soft tone.

"Gee! What the hell is this grandma? Disturb Ningsih to play Mobile!" Ningsih was angry with her Grandma, but her Grandma called her gently.

"What else Tut?" Ningsih was angry with me.

"Yuk we ma.." I haven't finished my words.

"Ahh, ga, ga. Can't be busy anymore." He refused her, and he didn't listen to me.

"Busy what? Yaudah I am in your house." I said my greetings and entered Ningsih's room.

"Busy playing this EphyEphy game with my girlfriend." I saw that they were a dating duet in that game.

"Ohh that keeps you busy, ehh I can play too?" I grabbed his phone.

He hit my hand "Ihh no! What if my guy gets angry? Don't mess up!" Nada Ningsih began to cynically. I thought he had a problem, apparently not. He was busy with his own life.

Then I watched the TV in his room and there was a funny and laughing show. But Ningsih was furious

"He! Don't be noisy there!

I'm playing with my guy again so lose to your country." Ningsih accused me even though from earlier I did not say anything to him.

"I'm sorry, I went to your bathroom first huh?" Nadaku was slow, disappointed and held back the weeping dam.

"Yes." Yeah." Ningsih ketus, without caring for me.

Actually I didn't go to the bathroom, I stopped by and left his house. I feel at home unappreciated. And he instead focused on playing the broken game with a virtual person that he was not necessarily able to meet in person. I cried all the way, I didn't play at his house. I went straight to the park near the mosque alone. Crying for not expecting my best friend to be cruel to me. What have I done? Am I that bad and that bad? I was just silent. But Ningsih felt I was as bad as she thought.

*Then now.*

"Tut, Tuti?" Lily woke me up who was daydreaming.

"Ah, oh yes?" I woke up from my daydream.

"You daydream often?" Lily's worried about me.

I sneezed and said a lie "However, just somehow my mind was empty."

"Ohh. Yuk entered the class. I'm gonna start." Lily sped up her steps towards the classroom, and I followed behind her.

If you remember that one, Ningsih until now there is no apology thrown from her mouth. Though he was yesterday I was at his house like there was no pride of his. He even asked

"When did you come home so soon?" Ketus Ningsih while eating candy in his mouth.

"It's nothing, just want to go home." I lied again.

"Hmm yawudahlah." Ningsih turned around and left my desk.

Suddenly Buk Eriana came in. He introduced himself in more detail, his origin, his education and so forth which I think I do not need to know more deeply. But I'll just listen. He had us write our names, origins, date of birth, addresses, and other personal data. I wrote it and rushed to his desk.

...

I arrived at the house that Reino gave her address from the chat. I arrived five minutes earlier than the appointed hour, because I didn't want to let him down.

"Hhh hurry you come Ti?" Reino surprised.

I scratched my head that didn't itch "Ehe yes, I didn't know that the speed was coming. I've come here anyway."

"Yaudah here come in, but I ain't nothing." He welcomed my presence.

I nodded, disinclined that entering was alone "Yes, here I am while waiting for others to come too." I subtly refuse.

"Oh yaudah." Reino went inside his house, like he took something.

Reino's close friend came Indhra. Indhra is actually not from our SD first, he moved a few years ago. He from Bangkinang moved to my area because he joined his father's work.

Indhra came after me.

"Miss Ti?" Indhra got off the motorcycle she was riding with Andi.

"Yes, we've just been this late." Andi locked the handlebar of her motorcycle, got off, and approached me.

"Ehe yes." I was confused for an expression and answered how. So I'm stiff like a talking robot.

We waited for our other friends, a lot of time too but they came very late. It was almost an hour and a half before they came, not all of it. Maybe 3 of them are not because they can not follow. We also studied gymnastics with some of my other friends. I followed him seriously and as I could. Our training ended at 17:35 that afternoon. I rushed home and said goodbye to my friends early. If not, I can get scolded by Mamak.

"Are you ready for Ti's training?" My mom asked me a short question.

I nodded hesitantly "Udah anyway, but I came home quickly. If they might be long. But not all gymnastics moves I can memorize." I play my own fingers.

...

Arrive next week. This time I had enough exercise. Buk Eriana called forward all that was in our class. Who doesn't know, I don't know. Because they are commemorated to come, but they also do not come

"Okay, for gymnastics last week please go forward. I want to take value." While Buk Eriana holds her value book and her red pen.

I'm advancing in line two of three. I try as much as I can and finally I get a fairly satisfactory value. It turns out that everyone is judged differently. Thank goodness my first grade was satisfactory and I did not betray the results

"It is indeed advanced in class but for the value of each individual. Because I want you to master that gymnastics? Or is someone coming? Ha, feel it." Buk Eriana with a firm tone, and her eyes glared fixed on which her gymnastics was not good.

Ahkirnya practice gymnastics is finished. We sat in our seats. Ningsih I noticed for a long while as I wait. Then I complained, I told Isa after school through chat





*I also as soon as possible end the chat.*

I also still imagined the words of Isa "What yes? Ningsih? But maybe he's not in the mood anymore maybe lately, so be it. I don't believe much in the words of Isa. Maybe because Isa is not as close as before." I whispered in my heart.

Not sure, I tried to play with Ningsih. I went alone with Mamak and rushed to Ningsih's house

"Didnickers? Ning.. Ningsih?" I knocked on his door a few times.

"What Tuti?" His face was thin and not serious.

"Look, to our Isa!" I convinced him and grabbed his arm.

"You don't have to hold on, know where I am Isa's house. Yaudah, come on, come on." Ningsih hit my wrist and she no longer wanted to physically contact me.

From there, I began to suspect from the words of Isa. Is that right? But I don't know. Ningsih ya Ningsih's. It won't be anything else. He can't turn away from me. He was my true friend. Then I took Ningsih to Isa's house to play.

"Isa, isa?" I knocked on the door a few taps.

"Yes, uh tumben no Ningsih." His face was drastically different, radiating in the look of his face.

"Jaudah come in, Tuti." Isa spoke to me full of trite talk.

"Look in Ning." Contrasted upside down if he spoke to Ningsih.

We also play monopoly with isa, Ningsih refused because it was called the game children's Kindergarten

"Ihh males time play kayak gini game. Like a child's game TK, there's no fun. Go home to me." Ningsih came home without saying goodbye, and left us both.

Isa warned me again "No, you know what you invite Si Ningsih. He's not our friend anymore. You see, his face is so different. Just play it he's not in frequency anymore. Next time Tut, don't take him back to my house." Isa whispered and felt disgusted and reluctant to see the nature of Ningsih.

"That's not what it means, I mean come here let's all be as familiar as ever and.." Isa cut my conversation.

"And now it's clear, isn't it? If he doesn't want to see us again? I feel sorry for you if you want to be fooled by Si Ningsih. Actually Ningsih's not who you think she is." Isa hugged me.

"That way?..." I hugged Isa back silently and expressionlessly read in the look on my face.

Now I know what Isa means and says. On the other hand I have many good friends who are new to me. But on the other hand I stretched the friendship with my friend Ningsih. I'm afraid of losing a friend. Where else will I take? Who wants to listen to me? There was no more togetherness like in that time. What, yes, did Isa say? Am I being too kind or too stupid to respond? If true, was my time that stupid? I'm confused by everything I'm going through right now. Only I can pray to God to be given the ease of all the problems I am facing. And Ningsih, hopefully we can be together again and play like this first.
