> The Young Love <
As a child grown up in a teacher family, Kiri was taught to
love studying. He paid so much attention to his study that he didn’t seem to
care much about the people around. He was a good student, yet not so friendly,
especially with unfamiliar people and girls, for he was so shy and afraid of
being teased by his friends and family. He hated being teased indeed because he
was a child. From year to year, he focused on only his study; and that was, his
grade. From primary to his secondary school, he rarely talked with girls, even
when they started first. He just had nothing to say, and he didn’t want to
either. But when he passed the exam to continue his high school, he changed. He
just realized that he couldn’t be that way to the end of his life. He needed to
be as sociable as he could. But that was not easy because it was really different
from what he had been and he was not used to it.
Having passed the exam, he was so happy, and he just got
ready for a life far away from home. He had his family rent a house near the
school for him so that he could reach the school easily and had time to do
self-study there without coming back to the family. There, in the rent house,
he lived with a few of his friends from the village who were all his good
friends.
The new day came; and everyone got ready to join the new term
opening ceremony at the school. Kiri and his friends joined the ceremony. Not
so shy like Kiri was, his friends were so brave, brave in terms of
communication. And they all were so interested in girls too, the new girls at
school. They were just trying to find something called “sweetheart” since the
first day they were there.
After the long ceremony, the teachers told the students to
find their own classes. Everyone found their names in the same class with their
friends, but Kiri didn’t. This was so disappointing because his name was in a
different shift from that of his friends, the evening shift. Kiri decided to
ask his brother who was working as a teacher there to change the shift for him;
and his brother promised to help.
Very little did Kiri know about the change process;
nevertheless, he just kept going to the same class with his friends. Time flew
fast and it was now the middle of the month; and the teachers started to give monthly
tests. Everyone paid full attention to the study and the tests. And a few days
later, five out of eleven tests had been done. Kiri and his friends got very
good marks for those tests, and they were thinking of taking number one for
their first month.
Things may not be as easy as they seemed to be. An unhappy
thing happened again to little Kiri. During the break time, Kiri’s brother
appeared.
