The End of Long

The End of Long
Part 2


It was my first day in junior high school. After class division we immediately disperse looking for each class. At the class division I got class 1E, which according to information from the upperclassmen was near the sports field.


In our school, the ceremonial field is separate from the sports field. The ceremonial field is in front of the offices of teachers and principals and is surrounded by classes that are used for the third grade.


The first grade was behind the third grade on the left of the teacher's office. The shape is straight extending from the beginning near the school gate to the end. So does the first-class sequence starting from the beginning near the gate to the end.


At that time the first class there were seven classes with an average number of students of 40 to 45 people. At first I sat down with my old elementary school friend whose truth was we got one class. But after the homeroom teacher passed and we were told to introduce ourselves and the school, the homeroom teacher suggested changing our seating position. We are not allowed to sit with friends from the same school because according to Bu Dita so we can make new friends. Hence he randomized the seating positions of all the students.


I was sitting on the bench number three from the front. After I met him, I found out that a friend of mine named Susi. Sitting on my front seat, Rumi and Dona. They are all from different SD with me. Even our school is different.


So it's true what Bu Dita said that's the point of us sitting separated from friends with the same school origin. I'm making new friends.


But just glancing back, it turns out that sitting behind me are all men. Duh certainly not exciting, try if women surely we can coolly chat if the teacher is not in class. That was my first thought at the time.


"Your children have met friends around you"


We were silent facing forward as soon as we saw Ms. Dita heading towards the blackboard.


On the board of the class president :...., Vice-chairman of class :....., Secretary : ......, Deputy Secretary : ........., Treasurer: ......


"Who wants to run?" Ask Ms. Dita.


There was a noise in the class. But I don't know what they're talking about, I can't hear clearly.


"Let's stand up who wants to be class president" Tanya Bu Dita back.


Suddenly the two people sitting right behind me stood up.


"Just the two of you?, the others don't want to be class leaders?"


"No Ma'am" We answered


"Now introduce yourself both. Start from the right side of Mom"


To the right of Ms. Dita is the person sitting right behind me.


"My name is Ari Putra"


But I don't remember what he said anymore after that. As I recall he said the name and origin of the school.


"Now it's his turn next door" said Bu Dita, allowing the other candidate.


"My name is Anggara Star Cloud"


As soon as she mentioned her name I turned to her. His son is tall and yellow. From the way he spoke it seemed that he was a very intelligent child.


"Beauty yes" whispered Susi


I just took a sign of agreeing with Susi's assessment.


"Often called Awan, the name is called every person in Indonesia who can speak at least 10 times in their lives"


We all laughed at what was said.


"Contell right? I asked if anyone in this class had never mentioned my name" he asked confidently.


We no one answered. It is true whether there is anyone in the world who has never uttered his name other than the person who cannot speak. It really stole our attention, including me. Maybe that's why when voting he won a landslide victory from Ari his countryman. Therefore Ari was immediately appointed as vice-chairman of the class.


For the secretary and the flag there were two girls who volunteered. After they were told to write on the board, Rumi was finally selected as a secretary and Dela became treasurer.


Back then I really did not dare to have to offer myself to become a classroom device. Who me? I'm just a simple kid from a simple family, maybe that's what makes me a non-confident person.


I'm not a stupid kid at school.I'm a smart kid especially when it comes to math. If I thought I was the smartest in my class. There was only one lesson I hated the most at the time. That is English, he he he I am the stupidest probably among the other children.


How not, almost all my friends from their Elementary School have taken English courses. While I boro-boro course, for daily purposes only we have to save money so as not to borrow money to neighbors or pay debts stalls around.


That was the first day I went to school at Junior High School and Awan Bintang Anggra, the class president, caught my attention.


In the following days we started chatting when there were no teachers in class or at the turn of the lesson. Whether this is God's destiny every work group of teachers always divides into four people and let's not be difficult to divide you just count from the front two benches two benches.


So inevitably I always group with Clouds, Ari and Susi. I just turned the chair back to discuss it during group work. It's true that my judgment is a cloud of smart kids, it makes me like him more. Moreover, he was friendly not arrogant and very kind.


The school bell rings a sign for class. We rushed back to our seats.


"Is there an English teacher?" ari asked Ari who had just entered the classroom.


"So, I was facing the office" said Awan.


"Today we learned English" I said.


"Who, last week Mr. Budi did not enter because of illness" said Awan.


"You why Cha? Worried about being scared to ask for an introduction in English" The clouds began to tease me.


I was a little bit late at that time with the Clouds, want to say but afraid of being done again like last week.


Last week Mr. Budi could not enter because of illness. So we were told to study alone with my friends. I have to study with Susi? Ha ha ha I tuh eleven twelve same Susi equally can not speak English. Finally we learned the four of Ari and Awan. Because they both have taken courses outside of school.


Though at that time I was enthusiastic to study with Awan and Ari. But Cloud is really ignorant, this is the Cloud ignorant or am I the stupid one? Ha ha ha ha's.


"Wan" called me as she was busy writing how to get acquainted and what it meant to me so I could memorize it.


"Yes" he replied without looking at me.


"If my name is in English then what is it?" that's the dumbest thing I've ever done in my entire life in school.


Cloud and Ari stopped writing, they both stared at me in disbelief. They both looked at each other and laughed.


"It's serious, in the question even laughs" I replied annoyed.


"It's really not knowing" asked Ari less sure of my question


"Well, people really ask me what it means not to know!" chirps Susi.


"Whose name are you?" said the Cloud while holding back his laughter


"Chalika" I replied annoyed


"Stay behind me"


"Kalicha" I spell my name in reverse.


I heard Ari and Awan were laughing when they saw that Susi was trying to spell our names. The clouds could no longer hold back their laughter. He laughed as if he had heard the funniest laugh he had ever heard. To the point of not being able to stop laughing. At that time, Ari also stopped laughing.


"Seriously laughing, I'm a comedian!" I said sniffling because I was so upset at the time.


Seeing that I was upset, the clouds tried to stop his laughter. Even if it was obvious that he would laugh again every time he looked at me.


"Cha you really don't know?" Ari asked unsure.


I just nodded in annoyance in response to Ari's question.


"Cha in any language our names will never change. Because that's what our name is" Cloud explained as she caught her breath. "The same as the city, the name of the country"


I turned the chair facing forward again, at that time I did not want to listen to anything said by Ari and Awan. I was angry, ashamed, ashamed of him. But actually why should I be angry, it would not be wrong if it sounded funny with my question earlier. But it only came to light after I got home.


I haven't talked to either of them all day. I am ashamed of the stupidity I made myself. When Awan handed me my notebook that he wrote earlier, I didn't even care. He apologized, but I kept quiet. If I could disappear at that time, I would have done so that I would not be seen by the two of them.


Maybe in English I'm really stupid, but if for Maths I'm the best in the class.


Our math teacher was Ms. Dita. And at that time also the teacher does not matter if he hits his students in class if he makes a mistake. Not like now if the teacher does a little violence with students can be sure to be crowded in social media to deal with the police


If you get a question from Bu Dita will be seen how wrong it is. The amount of harm will be calculated to determine the amount of punishment we must receive. Although they said they were hit with a pistol on the hand did not hurt, but that was not the important thing. The person who is not beaten has his own pride.


Among my classmates I was almost never punished by Bu Dita. So every Cloud Math lesson always asks me what he doesn't understand.


But it was his English turn to repeat he willingly cheated on me. Actually sometimes I don't want to cheat the Cloud replicates. But he himself often pulled my clothes to see the repetition that he had finished. That's what we did for almost a year together while studying in class. There was almost no dispute between the four of us. Rukun says people.


Only I was often annoyed at Ms. Dita. Because often match Rumi with Clouds at almost every hour of her lesson. Rumi is beautiful, smart and stylish. Because from what I heard, he's a rich kid. Many of the male students who were chasing him included upperclassmen. If you think using logic they both are suitable if pokedokan. Equally popular at school. Especially when in the second class Awan served as chairman of OSIS while Rumi became secretary to OSIS. There was also news that the two of them were dating.


After two hours of study, the bell rang. Mr. Budi also left the class, while we were busy with our respective activities. There are those who go straight out of class there are also those who start eating because they bring supplies from home.


"Cha kekantin yo" Awan asked.


"No money!" I am still reluctant because I still remember what happened last week.


"I'm the one who deals" he said again.


I looked at him as if I couldn't believe it. "The truth is you want to buy me? In what order?" I'm less sure.


"I'm sorry for teaching you about English lessons last week" he said with a smile.


Duh Awan do not smile so dong, I can not refuse you, I said in my heart.


"Asik" said Ari and Susi.


"Sorry that only Chacha is treated" said Awan


"When was Chacha Wan?" susi sebel


"Your spy Wan" Ari added.


"Sorry my pocket money is not enough to buy you all. Besides, all I'm doing is Chacha, why are you two even asking for a treat"


"Tell me stingy" said Susi standing up. "Let's Ri go first" Ari and Susi walk out to the cafeteria.


"Let's Cha done it hasn't been sorted out yet" said Awan. " Later to race you"


"Yes" I said standing up. I'm not slow at work, but I had no intention of going to the canteen so I didn't want to clear my textbook.


Indeed the canteen is also not so far from our classroom, the distance is only about 100 M. Coincidentally Ari and Susi got a table with four chairs. Coincidentally at that time the canteen was not too crowded anymore. Because other children are already on the meal or indeed many students are still following the selection for school exculus.


When we were in front of the cafeteria I saw Ari signalling to us that she had already provided two empty benches for me and Awan. I sat next to Susi, while Awan went towards Mang Udin's storefront wagon.


"What do you want to eat Cha?" Ask Clouds.


"The same model of orange ice" I said.


I saw the Clouds order Mang Udin. I continued talking to Susi and Ari.


"You want to wear telor dak?" ask the clouds again.


"Yes dong kan is treated" I said with a laugh.


The clouds just laughed at my chatter. Then he sat down next to me. Dikantin was playing Shepia's song Sheila On 7.


"The song was replaced by dong" Awan told Mang Udin, who was busy preparing our meal.


"What song is the deck?" ask Mang Udin.


"What's wrong with you Mang" said Ari


"Don't Mang, finish this song" I said


"Opaan the Cha" said Air sebel.


"Yes nih Cha is very pleased with the song" said Awan who began before.


"Later this song is just Dek" Mang Udin told us


"Hampa Mang" said Awan


"Why don't you like that song?" susi


"The music is okay" I said


"Because we don't like Shepia" said Awan.


"Just son we want to be made a lover of the dark" Ari did not lose before


Susi and I instead deliberately followed the lyrics that the Ambassador wished Ari and Awan to add sebel. It feels different already what the cloud did last week


Good night, my dark lover


I hope you forget me soon


Your lover will never be able to forget you


"For dong Ri" I said to see boiled noodles have Ari who has been delivered by Bik Mira.


"Don't want Ah" Ari tried to get rid of me.


"Ye stingy"


"Cha said she wanted to eat a model?" word Cloud


"Just want to taste it" I said before because Ari was stingy


"Ntar's got me, I just ordered fried noodles" said Awan.


I also sometimes wonder why I like to bother eating their own. Though mine alone sometimes not run out. But it's only the three of them whose food I'm disturbing. If anyone else has the courage.


At that time the four of us were very close. Almost every day eating with the dikantin, chatting with the class if there is no teacher who teaches. Because of our closeness that's why we often get a letter to Awan from another class of girls.


Actually I miss every time I have to deliver a letter to the clouds. I don't know why the feeling always arises, but I have to how else cook immediately I refuse. Who am I? The boyfriend? No, I'm just a classmate who happens to be sitting next to us. That's why we're familiar.


Those who approach the average Cloud are good for us, because they think they have to be good for the cloud first. For the sake of being stale, I had to pretend to be good. Though in my heart I always say "Ih why be a very cheap woman, use send a letter to Awan. The clouds want to be with you".


Sometimes I like to be ashamed of myself too why should I be angry. Cloud doesn't like me and wants me to be his girlfriend. The proof is that he never shot me. Besides, I have to be self-aware of who I am compared to the girls who once had a crush on Clouds.


Susi and I just got into a class from the library. I saw Ari and Awan sitting down, I don't know what they both said.


"This cloud has a letter from Dinda" I handed him a pink envelope that was left by Dinda a 1A-year-old when we met in the press.


I was actually lazy to deliver the letter. But when I told Susi to hand him over, she didn't want to. He said, "you were the one whom Dinda had cheated"


"From who?" Ask Awan while picking up the letter I printed on the desk.


"Dinda" I replied lazily. While pretending to look for a book in a desk drawer.


"Which god is it?" ask again.


I refused to answer, so I kept quiet.


"Dinda 1 A" replied Susi.


"Oh" while nodding.


"Dinda who was assessed by Miko was Wan?" ask Ari.


"Yes" replied Awan immediately enter the letter amlop because Bu Dita is already in front of the door.


"We will read it later on during the break" said Awan.


It was his custom to get a letter from another girl. I don't know what the Cloud's heart is, why invite the four of us to read the letter he received. How the girl felt when she found out that we also read her letter. This isn't the first time I've delivered a letter to the Clouds over the past six months. I remember five times I was written a letter to the clouds. And what's more unpleasant later I was asked the penitip letter.


"Cha where's the payoff? Or what the cloud said about me?"


Sometimes I am confused what to say. Wong Awan read his letter in front of us laughing funny. Cook I should say that.


"Ask the Clouds directly, because the clouds do not say anything to me" that's what I usually say. If the nitip greeting for the clouds is not counted anymore.


As promised last week by Bu Dita we will repeat today for additional results next week. After almost finished the lesson hour, Ms. Dita told us to collect our paper. Actually, I've been done since, but still checking fear that someone missed or wrongly counted.


"Cha's done?" ask the Cloud


I just nodded my head.


"You want the nitips to gather forward?" ask again


I handed my paper back to him because he was standing next to Susi. Susi also participated in the paper nitip.


"Your PR is page 68 yes, numbers 1 to 15" said Bu Dita.


Sounds some children complain because they get PR from Bu Dita.


"You can work with your friends in groups, only the results are written in each book" continued Bu Dita.


"Awan equally Rumi want to do both at home really okay" said Bu Dita


The others immediately cheered at Bu Dita's words. I glanced at Rumi who was sitting not far from the Clouds. She smiled happily at the words of Ms. Dita.


"Why are you cheering" asked Bu Dita. "match the other handsome beautiful"


I saw Rumi again was more happy to hear the praise from Bu Dita. But if I don't think the Clouds really like Rumi. Because even though he was often betrothed by other teachers he was still not very familiar with Rumi. According to the Clouds, Rumi was arrogant. She feels the most beautiful, the smartest so she doesn't like Rumi very much. That's what I heard from Ari.


"Where are we doing the PR?" ask the Cloud


"Once" said Ari.


"Where do you think she is?" Ask Clouds.


"I just work alone. We're already in a group with Rumi!"


His name is also called the person who is standing next to the clouds.


"When we work at home I'm the PR" Rumi said with a smile.


"We agreed on a group, and we gathered at Ari's house" Awan said


"Yes, that's exactly Wan, said Bu Dita, we are both in a group" said Rumi disappointed.


"Yes if you want to come to Ari's house" said Awan


"Not so" said Rumi passed with an annoyed face.


I don't know why Rumi doesn't like Ari so much. They have never had a disagreement before. Because I asked the same Ari also said he did not know, is not Rumi was picky if the friend was according to Susi.


Susi and I actually made a pact today to go to Nia's class to borrow a book. So we're getting ready to go.


"Where are you going?" Ask Clouds.


"Nia's class wants to borrow a book" Susi said


"Tell me you want to read a letter from Dinda" Awan said


Susi actually wanted to sit again but I pulled her hand.


"We have promised Nia that we will borrow a book for Biology" I said.


"Can Cha later" said Awan.


"We have promised Nia from yesterday" I replied while holding Susi's hand.


Actually Susi still wants to stay to listen to Ari read a letter to Awan. But I pulled his hand out because I no longer wanted to hear Dinda's letter which would have praised Cloud.


If you want to follow my heart, I wonder what Dinda wrote to Awan. But today I don't want to add to my frustration with the Clouds. I also don't want the Awan to know that I don't like Awan receiving letters from other girls.
