Kania

"Kania!" Rina called a student in the front row by waving her hand. Kania moved her feet under the table, pulled her aside and stood up. Approaching the person, "Yes ma'am?"

Rina handed a book to Kania. In front of him was a picture of the perfect student. She is kind, beautiful, polite, and has a strong mentality. Sometimes he imagines that this student will be able to become a successful person in the future. Children who are easy to get along with are sure to have good connections.

"Bring this to my table," Rina ordered, then she stepped her foot first leaving Kania who took the books on the table. While Kania followed behind him, he looked like a runner. Follow wherever Rina goes.

In the Teacher's Room, Kania greeted by knocking on the door before entering, walking slowly and approaching Rina who was already sitting quietly on her throne. He put the book on the table, returned Rina's smile faintly and walked over to the canteen.

Kania left from there with a sour face. His friends were already in the canteen, so he just went to the canteen without returning to class first.

School life is boring. But Kania is reluctant to leave this period for the sake of times that are not necessarily good. Maybe now he could just relax with life.

But will he be able to live a better life than this in the future?

To be honest he was scared. He is afraid to grow up and be faced with problems outside his mind.

"Kania! Here!" Shouted Citra.

Kania stepped into her friends, there were Citra, Putri, Agatha, and Christina there.

The butt is perfectly attached to a chair that extends for two. He exhaled the breath he had held a moment ago.

Seeing Kania who seemed tired, Agatha handed her a bowl of soup in front of her. "Thank you," said Kania who was gifted with a smile from Agatha.

"Just became a maid huh?" Agatha asked by spooning fried rice into her mouth. Memorize very well if the teacher must order Kania and praise him to all the students who make him sick.

"Well, I don't really mind." Kania answered while seasoning the soto with soy sauce. He likes soy sauce.

"Only two years. In one year, if it's still like this, you must be bored. Try to get out of your mask so you don't always have to deal with that annoying teacher." Said Christin.

Kania crinkled her forehead, "You mean? You want to say that I've only been pretending to be nice all this time?" Asked Kania disliked.

Christin was nervous, then smiled stupidly and shook Kania's arm.

"Aish, that's not what I meant." She scratched the back of her itchless neck and laughed involuntarily.

Kania didn't mind it. He was silent by eating his soto. The daughter nudged Christin's arm who couldn't keep her mouth. The group of girls became silent without breaking any sound.

"How about we hit the beach this weekend?" Said Putri broke the silence.

All eyes are on him. The image of the youngest screamed with joy. "Yes, yes!" He shouted. He showed a happy face like a kindergarten child who just got a toy.

"I really like the beach. The beach is us. She is always beautiful but it never knows when she will be dangerous." He said with both palms against his cheeks.

"Very?" Asked the Putri.

"Of course. What's more beautiful than the beach?" Said Citra glaring.

Kania couldn't help but laugh at the cute behavior of one of her friends. Very childish.

"Hey, you can't swim, how can the beach be your favorite place?" Taya Putri with a laugh. Christin, who ate the soup with gusto, almost spat it out laughing.

It's just weird for someone who can't swim but loves the beach. Like you who can only look at diamonds without being able to touch them.

"Who said? Now I can." Said Citra.

Instead of being surprised, the laughter from everyone just got even more Kania herself is not someone who likes to get into silly conversations like this and can't help but laugh offensively. This is funny.

"Well, need some buoys?" Said Kania who was able to make people beat him. Especially Citra.

"Ish! I can swim already. Even though it's only a little, I can float." He said.

*****

Kania had just opened the door when a voice startled her. Her hands were floating with bulging eyes. But when he realized, he immediately lowered his hand and draped his bag tidily.

"Just got home? Come here for a minute!" A scream from a very familiar stopped Kania.

She is her mother. A mother who is only a part of the word mother.

A mother should be able to guide her child, especially if she is a woman. Who really needs to have 'me time' with his mother.

He doesn't need anything. He only wanted his mother to occasionally ask him how he was, whether the school was hard, or something like that.

Kania realized. His mother was a tough career woman. He will not easily step down with household conditions. He is someone who looks straight towards the goal without the slightest break.

But is what he needs so heavy? He didn't even ask to sleep with him since first grade. He didn't ask his mother to take his report card because he knew her mother was busy. He also never asked to go out with his mother. Never.

He only asked for a happiness in the mouth. Sincere or not, Kania didn't care. The important thing is that he has heard the word Ghoib from his mother's mouth. Small talk when people call it,

It seems, talking to him alone is never even though they are in the same room. He only heard his mother's voice when he was calling or ordering him.

Some people say that affection shouldn't be expressed in words. Kania of course believed. But with minimal proof like this ... what can he do?

"Why are you silent? Come here for a moment!" Maria waved her hand gesturing for Kania to take a step.

Slightly lazy, Kania brought her feet right in front of that person. Not too close, Kania knew that she was reluctant to be close to him. Judging from the thick facial expression, just make up is enough to make Kania know.

"What is wrong?"

"Lately I've been thinking that you're an adult ..."

Kania always dreams. With just words, I hope he hears the words of the mother coming out of the old lips. But not. Some of the words are just you, me and us. There are no words like my daughter, your mother, or anything else. It is unfortunate.

"Yes?" Kania said lazily.

"I want you to learn to do business. The children of my friends have been educated to continue the company from a young age, and because you are my only child, it is not too late for you to learn to do business." At the end of her sentence, Maria stood up and walked towards her room with a hils measuring eight centimeters that was driving Kania crazy.

"He didn't even hear my opinion," muttered Kania who was still at the starting position. He could not stop thinking about this life. He tried his best, but he could only be a puppet.

Maria turned around in the middle of the stairs. With hands on the barrier and legs bent he said, "Oh yes, you can use libraries, and there will be my subordinates teaching you to do business once a week. So .. Have fun," He continued his steps.

Kania's hair is messy because she ruffled it. This Kania, that Kania, No Kania ...

She never even scolded Kania, but always uttered orders as if she shouldn't be about. Only words like that made Kania hear her voice.

Maybe, Kania would be happier if she had a kind and gentle mother like the others. The figure of a child who is a victim of a broken home is very suitable for Kania to carry. Give applause.

"I want to knock down this house!" Kania muttered and left.
