Tuti Lazy School
8. Misunderstand

...(.(.Switching My Current Life)...

Yes, that is my sad past, sad and dark. I hope I don't repeat it here. Ahkirnya I got the road ahkirnya. And I went to school in Elementary as usual. The friendship environment is healthy and does not discriminate friends despite how strange he is, annoying him, or whatever his characteristics.

"I have friends, and it's not like there. Thank goodness I moved in." I murmured at school on that sunny morning ahead of Physical Education lessons.

"Ehh come on Tut, we're sports. Later get angry buk Ceci" said a friend next to the bench.

"Ehhh yes, go first. I'm gonna have a drink first." I take off my bottle cap to drink a sip of water I brought from home.

Then I rushed to the field and we learned the lesson that is the Ball Game Kasti. We were taught there about playing. But because I was slow to understand about this lesson so I also often made my friends upset.

"Follow you follow me! if you run, run." Andi said

"Yes!" I ran after Andi.

But accidentally when running I even missed the line, and made us punished by throwing the ball and hit me. Automatic we are guarding and recording the playing. It pisses my friends off. Yes, how do I apologize they are still upset to be told to guard. But when there is a friend of mine who is quite tough in this Kasti Game his name is yes Andi earlier. She even though I was wrong she wasn't angry in the least. Since he considered the game ordinary, winning to lose meant nothing to him. Except the bets.

"Sorry, I didn't know that.."

"Yes it's okay. It's just a game. Tomorrow you will understand." Andi kept beside me getting ready when there was a ball soaring towards him he would immediately catch using his left hand.

"I suppose the ball to your left you go quickly to the back yeah, let me catch it" he said.

"Hem." I agree while nodding.

"Awas Tut!" He pushed me to score in reverse the game. Let them take care.

"Plac!"

"Yess I took it!" Andi's Bridge.

I was also moved because his instinct was quite fast and responsive. It changed our situation and we became players again. Yes the end of the game we who scored the victory was superior to the group next door. We're a group divided in two, so we got a plus rather than the one in the next group.

.........

Then I went home, immediately madrasah. Now the madrassas study the Qur'an and Hadith. In this lesson, I rarely memorize. At most memorized verses in the Qur'an alone, it is not long. Only the short verses we recite, some of the Hadiths he taught and were old in our lives, and this teacher is not stingy. His name is Mr. Sahya. He's a much longer teacher here than any other teacher. Even my principal who is this one just lost a long time ago to Mr. Sahya. But I was accidentally called by Buk Lasmine because of certain things so I stopped for a moment to attend Mr. Sahya's class.

"What's buk?"

"What did you say?! This is your SPP until when don't you pay?" He showed his finger and confirmed to pay.

"Yaudah buk, aware I said mom to pay." I saw the SPP book when I had not paid for 1 month just like someone who had not paid for 5 months.

"What the hell, that's right. Though only one month that I did not pay but angry like a person did not pay for months. Goddamnit!" I grumble to myself.

Then I went back to class with a sullen face and learned what Mr. Sahya taught me. I went to the mosque to pray. And after that I went to the cafeteria, there was a mother who I knew as 'Wak Sari'.

"Ehhh said you come from the Buk Lasmine lesson you are lazy to memorize it is so often truant huh?" Wawak believed what Buk Lasmine was talking to him.

"No Wak, where am I. He is the one who doesn't like me. Pande-pandean him!" I said loudly angrily looking at the strange and picky Teacher.

"He always punishes me without cause, changes my grades and sometimes prefers the love of other students to me. While I entered the lesson he always scolded me when I no one felt wrong even the slightest bit as the Lasmine!" I was so upset that I mentioned it harshly and loudly.

"Ohh, that's it.." Wawak believes my 2 problems are the same as the Lasmine.

"Yes!" I left annoyed.

"Ohh, is he the same as his student? She won't admit that I'm a student and thinks badly of me? Okay, if that's what you want then that's what you got." The grudge of my anger is heating up my turbulent heart.

.........

I saw Wak Sari in my house again talking to Mamak. I greet Wak Sari and Mamak because they have finished coming home Madrasah.

"Ehh wawak, tumben here?" I was wondering what they were talking about.

"Ehh said your son is lazy Madrasah huh? He often truant no want Madrasah, lazy already so memorization never want to memorize?" Wawakku peppering my mama.

"Tuti, Tut, come here." Say Mamak's tone firmly.

"Truly, said Wawak, you're truant? Don't you want to memorize from Buk Lasmine?" My mother asked what Wak Sari said.

"Nega, Wak, Mama. There I'm lazy to learn he knows why he used to be good with me, now he even hates me when I'm not wrong anything. I always memorize what I can sometimes forget so he immediately berated me saying I'm a slacker, no new brain he's the same people stories about me, bad-mouthing me if I'm a slacker." I spoke while crying in my half-open shirt as I was about to change.

"Ohh that's Buk Lasmine. Yaudah if he says to mamak, let us sue him. How can he be like you!" My mother was upset to hear my cry because I was in the gujing of my own teacher.

"When others memorize ga too smoothly assisted, while I'm not smooth until maki he said it Why don't you memorize? Play it your brain is the same as Ningsih. How many times have you said memorize it! Like no other, you're the only one here who's lazy! He said it was my name. Moreover, just as the daughter of the Yanti he who improved, the child did not memorize at all in his well in his affection. Not smart, but he was. Sometimes Buk Lasmine likes to change the value of repetition, my daily. You know why he hates me." I wiped my tears from wetting my cheeks which I had been sober all this time.

"Oh son, tell me. Mamak is angry.. It's barbaric that Lasmine you look at!" Mamak gripped as if cursing the Master.

Wak Sari immediately understood what I was feeling and she immediately went home because she already knew what I was going through at this time.
