10 eggs on the 25th of April

It pointed at 03.00 pm. I was so tired and bored at my classroom. Yeah, I was studying Advanced Grammar with Mrs. Zarini. Actually, I used to feel sleepy when I studied with her. Why? So, did you really want to know what my reason was? First, she couldn’t teach well. I braved to say it because when she taught us she used to sit and seldom to stand in front of the class and write the conclusion of the subject. She used to ask all of the students to read the book. Really, it made us bored. Second, I never understood what she said because her voice was not loud enough. It was difficult for me to concentrate to the subject. But, she was pretty and had great body.

             “Hoaaaammmmmm………” I was so sleepy but the time to go home was still a half and two hours later. So, I hafta have a tactic to cheat her. I moved at the back row slowly. Luckily, she didn’t know it. “Alhamdulillah, thanks god!” I said.

            Then, I opened my book as if I read it. In fact, I slept until the lesson ended. The time pointed at 05.30. It was time to go home. My friend, Eka or the fifth dwarf woke me up.

            “Hey the first dwarf! C’mon, wake up soon.” Eka whispered on my ear.

            “What time is it?” I asked him.

            “It’s time to go home you know.” He explained.

            “Are you sure?” I asked again.

            “Yap! Do you want to sleep here?” he answered (little dejected).

            “Of course no” I said.

            Did you know I had a group in my classroom? The name was “Dwarf Group”. All of our group members consisted of short and small people. It was average 150cm tall. Well, I was “The First Dwarf”.  Then, Kucek was “The Second Dwarf”. Ulil was “The Third Dwarf”. Echi was “The Fourth Dwarf”. And the last is Eka. We called him “The Fifth Dwarf or The Last Dwarf”. Just now, Eka or the last dwarf has already waked me up.

            “Wow, today is your birthday right? So, I wanna say happy birth day to you. Well, give me hugs and kisses.” Eka said happily.

            “Really? What date is today?” I confused.

            “The twenty fifth of April.”

            “Are you sure??” I didn’t believe.

            “Yap, please look at the calendar. All of our friends bring many surprised eggs today. Do you realize it???”He explained.

            “Oh my god! They’ll throw the eggs to my head!!! Oh no….. Help me please!!!” I showed my miserably face.

            “So, what can I do for you?” he asked.

“Do you bring motorcycle??? Give me ride to go home.”

“Actually yes, but my friend borrowed it! I’m so sorry!”

“Oh goodness!!”

***

            Class was over. After my lecture got out from the class I prepared myself to run because I knew all of my friends would give me surprises. But, I didn’t like it coz they would throw my head with eggs.  Many eggs I thought. I opened my high heels then I ran as far as I could. I heard one of them screamed. “Lope runs!!!!!!!!!”

            “Oh my god! They realized it!” I said it alone and still ran. I saw that they chased after me. I tried to run faster. Many people looked at me. Maybe they thought I was crazy. But, it was ok. I didn’t care. Then, I saw Edd rode motorcycle. I stopped him.

“May I take a ride until my house, please?” I showed off my pity face.

“I’m really sorry Lope because your friends will kick, hit and kill me if I give you rode.” he ignored me.

“What????”  I was shocked.

“Yap. Pardon me!” he took apologize then let me alone.

“Damn, I don’t believe it!”I cursed. I didn’t realize that Uchie stood behind me.

“Hi dear Lope!” she said while hit the egg on my head. “This is your new conditioner baby!” She laughed.

“Oh my god! Uchie, you make my hair…..” I didn’t continue my words coz I saw many people come to me. I ran and let them chased after me.

“Wait!!!!” they screamed together. Unfortunately, I just had short leg and they could catch me.

“Here you are!!!!” they turned each other to give me eggs on my head. Ya, maybe more or less there were ten eggs smiled and jumped on my head.

“You all broke my hair you know!” I screamed to them.

“It’s none of our business Lope” they laughed together.

“Well, I’ll hug you all!” I smiled and run to hug them with my dirty and smelly hair. I catch them one by one and shared their surprised egg.

“Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo………………….Lope, don’t do it to us!!!” they screamed but I don’t care.

*The End*

The Mad is behind us

            “Good morning, my students!” I said to all of my students in room C who joined with me at 10.00am.

            “Good morning, my students!” someone repeated my greeting.

            “Good morning my teacher!” my student answered me afraid. Then, I continued.

            “How are you this morning?”

            “How are you this morning?” someone imitated me. Spontaneously, I was shocked because my students just silent and I heard stranger voice. I thought this was not my students’ voice. I saw the person who said it. Wow, it was amazing! Did you know, he was not my student? He wore old dark blue trouser and old white under shirt. He had curly hair but I thought he never comb his hair. He brought a book and a black pen. He was busy with his self while wrote something in his book. Yeah, he was not my student. I was really serious 100%.  Oh goodness! What should I do? I didn’t want he hurt my students. I must search helping.

            “Well, I’ll go to the office for a moment. Wait me, ok!” I said to them. I tried to comport like usually. I hid my scare. I saw my students just nod their head. Then, I went to the office to ask helping. I needed someone to bring out the man who sat in back row of my class. I saw Sister Yud there.

            “Sis, there is mad person in my class. He has sat in back row. Then, what should I do? Help me, please!” I said afraid.

            “Are you serious?” she asked me. Maybe she didn’t believe.

            “Yes.” I answered seriously.

            “Ok, I’ll go to your class.” She said while walked to my class. I followed her. Then, I heard she said something to my students.

            “Good morning my students!” said Sister Yud

            “Good morning my students!” someone who sat in the back row imitated. My students were just silent. I thought they were still afraid. Did you know, they were still elementary school? I thought they combined of grade four until six. My class “Pre-Elementary A” in Society International English Course (SIEC) consisted of 19 students and started at 10.00am. I saw Nabilla, one of my students was very shocked. She was the youngest in this class. She was nine years old and still grade four.

            “How are you this morning?” she continued her greeting.

            “How are you this morning?” he imitated it.

            “Hmmm, I think he is really mad.” Sister Yud whispered to me.

            “Yeah, I think.” I answered.

            “Wait, I’ll search helping.” Sister Yud whispered again to me.

            “Ok!”

            Sister Yud went to SIEC 5. It was next to SIEC 3. Then, I continued it. I thought it was impossible for me to leave my students.

            “Ok, I’ll repeat my greeting. Good morning my students!” I said while handle my nervous. I knew that I was wasting time to say it. But, I didn’t know what I must do.

            “Good morning my students!” he repeated.

            “Hmmm, if someone said good morning then what is the answer?” I asked to them.

“Hmmm, if someone said good morning then what is the answer?” he still imitated my words.

            After he repeated me, suddenly Sister Yud and an old man came to my class. The old man brought the mad person got out from my class and said;

            “I am sorry, don’t disturb them. They’ll study. “

            “But I want to study also.”  He answered.

            “Ok, that’s good. But, let them study here. We’ll study outside.”

***

            “Hmmm, don’t be panic, okay! He wanted to study with us. He brought book and pen also, right? Well, the mad person has spirit to study and I hope all of you have more spirit than him. Yes, I believe it. So, please continue your study.” Said Sister Yud while gave a little motivation.

            “Ok, thank you Sister Yud!”

            “Well, I’ll go to the office. See you all!”

            “Bye…” I answered and followed by my students.

***

            “Are you afraid?” I tried to open the conversation.

            “Yes, Miss.” They answered together.

            “Yes, actually I’m also afraid. By the way, did he hurt one of you?” I asked.

            “No, Miss. He gave me money but I didn’t receive.” Arif answered.

            “So, is he angry?”

            “No, Miss. He just smiled to me.” continued him.

            “Ok, as a student we must have a spirit and study hard. I think you have seen the mad. He brought book and pen and he wanted to study. I think you have more spirit than the mad, right?”

            “Yes, Miss.” answered them.

            “Well, let’s continue our study!” then, I continued to teach them.

Kuciang Aie is You

                                                                         

“Babe, are you still angry with me???????? I have said to you before she was nothing for me. I never meet her. Believe me dear!!!!!!!!!!!!” he explained it to me but I still did not believe him because he used to do the same damn thing. How could I believe him??????? He called me many times but I didn’t want to answer it. I let my phone rang until the battery is low.

            Then, I received a new message from him. First, I was lazy to open it because I was really disappointed to him. He has hurted me. It was pain here. I thought you can felt it.

            “Babe, I’m really serious with you. I’m going to engage you if you still don’t believe……………”

            I was still confused. Must I reply his message? Otherwise, I still didn’t believe him. But, I still loved him. So, what must I do? Oh god gave me the way! I thought it for a moment but it was not enough, I needed much times. All day I thought it. At last, I made a choice that I must receive his sorry and gave him a chance. Yeah, I hoped he could use it well. Then, I replied his message.

            “Okay, I’ll receive your sorry but it’s your last chance. Don’t do the same damn thing. I’ll ignore and kick you from my life if you do it again. Keep your promise! Did you know, actually I really serious also with you but you always make me disappointed. Why babe?? Really I still disappointed with you.”

            After I sent this message suddenly my phone rang again. It was not a called but just a message. Yeah, it was from him. I opened and read it soon.

            “Later I will not speak and answer hers.” He replied and made me sure to him with his words. Then, he called me and I answered him.

            “Assalamualaikum.” He said softly.

            “Waalaikumsalam.” I answered.

            “Babe, I love you and trust me please. I swear for the god that I never meet her. I just wanna you. If you want I delete her, I’ll do it.” He explained to me.

“It’s up to you!”

            “So, what must I do?” he asked.

            “I don’t know.”

            “Tell me, please…”

            “Just do the best.”

            “What must I do?” he repeated.

            “Ask your heart, ok!”

***

Next day, on tomorrow morning until tomorrow afternoon I didn’t get communication with him. I was lazy to call or send his a message although I’ve received his sorry. Yeah, exactly at 12.41 pm I got a message from him. Sure I read it.

            “Babe, are you still angry with me??? I’m really serious with you babe…pardon me for yesterday and I promise wont reply it. I’m so sorry…”

            When I wanted to reply it suddenly new messages came again. It was still from him and still about his sorry words. It was exactly at 12.45pm.

            “Forgive me babe………… I’m really serious with you………”

            Again and again he tried to make me sure and believe him. I thought that I was too selfish if I’m still angry. I tried to open my heart because I knew that god could forgive us. Why I couldn’t??????????  Unfortunately, when I opened my heart I saw a girl called honey to him and they had an appointment to meet each other. I saw he was happy. Spontaneously I’m shocked. Since that day I have promised to my self that I wouldn’t keep him in my heart.

***

            Time passed away for five days, I never saw and heard about him. On nice afternoon after I came from taught I lied on my bed. I was so tired because my school was far from my house. It’s about 40 minutes from mine. When I wanted to take a nap, my phone rang. But it’s just a new message.

            “I’m sorry babe and I didn’t lie to you. Now, it’s up to you. You wanna believe or not. Clearly, I was honest to you.”

            “Huh, big liar! Big mouth! Why did you still contact me? Did you know, you left many pains here? I couldn’t sleep, eat, and smile because of you. It was hard for me to believe you.” I said to my heart. 

Aaaaarrrggghhhhh…….Three times he was lie to me and I thought it was enough. I hoped he never disturb me. Really I didn’t want to know him. I bored to hear his apologize. Every time he said it but every time he also did the same thing. But, it’s ok coz I was not her girl friend. I’m sorry good bye… Have a nice life Kuciang Aie……
