Becoming Like My Mother
CHAPTER 14

"I don't know what you mean, Ros. Why the hell have you guys been avoiding me lately. I never thought at all about going away from you and changing from you." Said Melati with eyes that began to condense.

They were silent, actually there was nothing wrong with Melati either. But still see the appearance of Melati they really do not like it. Didn't Melati also not like women behaving like that. But what now is not the same as Melati licked her own spit. And well, hypocrite.

"Udahlah Mel, the problem of seating just bother. We also arrive at any time." Elisha's word is cold.

"OKs. It's up to you guys. As long as it doesn't make us further away, and you guys don't go as far as me. Excuse me." Melati switched walks towards Humaira. He was welcomed by the master.

"Hi Melati, ." said Maira.

"Hi also Ra. Can I sit here?"

"Sure dong Mel why not"

"OKs. Thanks to ya."

While waiting for the entrance bell, Maira and Melati continued to chat. Not gossip but just telling each other's lives. Elisha and his friends certainly saw the closeness between them. Actually they miss also with Melati but still their egos control themselves.

Aaz came to that class soon. His forehead frowned in wonder to see Melati who was sitting with Maira and not with Elisha and Rose as usual. Even what makes him furious is the presence of Sinta as if replacing Melati.

He did not expect that Elisha and Rose could have made it this far. Friends migrating instead of being supported instead shunned. Even we better follow also the steps chosen by our friends.

Yesterday, in group chat they created a new group. Which is where there are only three people. Himself, Elisha and Rose. All they talk about is Melati. Changes about Jasmine and many Jasmine. Where all just to vilify the name Melati.

What they think is not like that. They just misunderstood. And Aaz was really fed up so he chose to quit the group.

He approached Melati and sat behind Melati and Maira's chair. He sat next to the princess. This astonished Elisha and Rose. Did Aaz choose to be on Melati's side.

They were really furious at Melati and Aaz. Well this is what they want. He will no longer care about Melati and Aaz.

Melati who saw Aaz's presence was also confused. He looked at Elisha and Rose, but they threw their faces away.

"Why are you here, Az?" Tanya looked back.

"Wrong is Mel?, I'm just gonna sit the same way."

"It's not wrong AZ. I mean, you're not the same Elisha as Rose."

"Papa kok El. Only if learning deket loe is fun." Lying Aaz. Obviously he didn't want to tell the truth. He would say that both of their friends hated him and did not want to be friends with him anymore.

Aaz is happy because Melati no longer likes to bully and brag about herself. And Melati's attitude also became very suave. Since Melati changed, he was not only friends with that friend. Whoever approached Melati must have received it with open arms.

Unlike before, you have to be picky. And it should be as level as him.

Soon the entrance bell rang and the lesson began when the teacher entered the classroom. Aaz did not look at Elisha and Rose in the back corner. He prefers to talk to his friends.

Once among Elisha, Melati, Aaz and Rose, Aaz was indeed the most favored. Because his attitude is really fun and indiscriminate. But of course he did it when there was no friend. He could not even bear when his three friends were bullying someone. Aaz would rather go than listen to his friends.

But now that everything has changed, he is more free to join anyone.

***

It is not felt at this time Melati and her friends, are waiting for the results of their Exam this year. Waiting for the decision of the school to graduate or not.

He sits between Maira and Aaz. As long as they were in the 9th grade of the second semester, they were always together. And what about Elisha and Rose they sat in the front seat with Sinta as well.

As if it had split into two camps, Melati, Maira and Aaz shifted the popularity between Elisha, Rose and Sinta. Elisha, Rose and Sinta really hate Melati and friends. But not with Melati. Although they always got cold and cynical gazes, yet they chose to let it go. There is no hatred even for Elisha and his cs.

How happy Melati he got the highest score among the students of his generation. Second place was taken by Maira. And Aaz he still follows the top ten.However he is really proud of his two friends.

Oh yes, Aaz also now has hijab like his two friends.

They were all happy because they graduated with satisfactory results. They also celebrated their graduation day. Melati, Maira and Aaz will continue their education at the same school.

Their uniform will soon be turned into a gray-white uniform. Release blue white. They also offered a farewell song to their teacher. And one of the representatives from the underclassmen to convey a word to his brothers.

Their tears are flowing. They also surround their school. This was the last day they set foot in this school. They reminisce on their journey for three years.

Melati came home with a beautiful smile emanating from her face. Ikhsan, Mina and Alif are certainly proud of Melati's achievement. They celebrated by making cakes in the house.

But because the ingredients they will use to make the cake is still lacking. So Ikhsan decided first to buy it with his wife.

And for Husein he left it to his two sons from Sharah to guard.

Ikhsan and Mina arrived at a supermarket. Accidentally Mina's bead sees a man and an old pregnant woman.

It was like he had seen both. No, he even deeply analyzed who they were. He immediately remembered his past.
