Jumat (22/10) pagi kita udah siap barisin anak2 buat ngajak mereka jalan keliling2 waktu wali kelas TK B nyamperin aku ...
"Ke, kita di suruh senam" bisiknya "emak yg nyuruh"
yah, senam lagi ... senam lagi ... udah 2 Jumat ini kita olah raganya senam mulu
"ya udah d" kataku. mo bilang apa lagi ? kepsek yg nyuruh "kita ikutin aja apa maunya biar ga jadi bahan perkara lagi" dah 2 hari ini kepsek auranya negatif. tau ni hari dia mo angot lagi atau ga tapi lebih baik kita jangan sediain bahannya
yang jelas hari ini aku rada jaga jarak ama kepsek karena terus terang aja aku kesel & rada tersinggung dg ulahnya kemaren yg murang maring ga karuan juntrungan.
Pikir2 dari pada aku kepancing jadi nyolot & kita jadi bertengkar, mending sebisanya menghindar ..
ah, mending cari hiburan d di kelas TK B ... he he he .. kebetulan aku memang ni hari jadwalnya ngajar bahasa Inggris di situ. jadi jam 9 teng aku udah menongolkan diri di kelas itu yg langsung berubah dari tenang jadi rame ... yah gitu d .. ibu Keke punya banyak fans di sekolah ... he he he ...
siapa yg sudah selesai tugasnya, buku di kumpul di depan ya ... kataku & ...
"udah selesai" Calvin nyerahin bukunya & langsung meluk "aku sayang ibu" katanya manja ... duh ..
beberapa saat kemudian Anggi dengan senyum lebar nyerahin bukunya & ... hei ..! aku terkikik geli karena dia ngelitikin telingaku ... dasar ... he he he ... pantes dia datang sambil senyam senyum gitu ... rupanya udah punya niat mo ngegelitikin aku ..
"ibu ..!!" Irene lebih antik lagi gaya nyerahin bukunya. langsung loncat meluk aku & beringsut-ingstu manjat naik .. eh, di kata bu Keke pohon kelapa apa di panjat gitu ? kataku sambil tarik dia naik ke gendonganku yg bikin dia ketawa kesenangan .. he he he
"bu Keke punya bayi!" teriak Wilson di sambung ketawa temen2nya. tapi Irene ga marah, mukanya malah cerah banget ... ah, anak2ku .. kalian memang matahariku. mendung di hatiku ga akan betah berlama-lama kalo ada kalian ..
tiba2 "bu Keke!" aku denger suara Justin teriak manggil dari kelas sebelah. TK A & B cuma di pisah sama 4 loker & 1 rak plastik setinggi dadaku.
"apa, Justin?" aku berjinjit melongokkan kepala lewat rak plastik itu supaya bisa ngeliat Justin yg duduk di belakang
"tolongin.." Justin rupanya kerepotan di suruh ngerjain tugasnya
"coba dong" kataku
"ga bisa"
"coba dulu. bu Keke masih harus ngajar di sini" kataku serba salah. mau rasanya langsung terbang ke kelas sebelah buat nolongin dia tapi itu ga ngedorong dia untuk belajar mandiri & mau berupaya sendiri.
ah, anak2ku, kami disini berusaha sebaik mungkin mempersiapkan kalian menghadapi bagian demi bagian dari kehidupan ini walaupun prosesnya kadang ga nyenengin contohnya ya kayak sekarang ini, Justin harus belajar berupaya & aku belajar untuk menahan naluriku untuk ga langsung nolong dia tiap kali dia menghadapi kesulitan / tantangan ...

We were ready to line up & took a walk this Friday morning (Oct 22nd) when the teacher in the class for the 5 year olds came to me
"headmaster told us to do exercise for P.E." she wishpered
well, what can we say if that's what headmaster ordered us to do, I said to her. headmaster has been having negative aura in the past 2 days. don't know if she'd have tantrum or not today but we better not provide her with "gasoline & matches" so she could throw a fireball at us.
I'm keeping a safe distant with headmaster because I'm honestly upset & a bit offended by her attitude yesterday (I've written about it under the title 'headmaster had tantrum'). I'm avoiding open conflict. it wouldn't be a good thing to be seen or heard if I have a quarrel with headmaster.
I'd better seek things to cheer me up in the class for the 5 year olds as today is english there so I came in at 9 am, turning the quiet class into a loud one as the kids called out my name excitedly .. so I've fans in school .. lol ..
please put your book here if you're done with your drawing, I told them & ..
"I'm done" Calvin handed me his book & hugged me "I love you" he said affectionately
a moment later Anggi handed me her book & hey .. !! I laughed when she tickled my ear .. so that's why you come with that smile, eh .. ?? you were up to something .. I told her as she laughed merrily ..
Irene did her own way to hand her book "miss Keke !" she called me out as she ran to me, hugged me & jumped up to me then crawled up .. whoa ! .. what would you think of me ? a coconut tree ? I said to her as I pulled her up & carried her making her laugh happily ..
"miss Keke has a baby !" shouted Wilson followed by the laugh of the kids but that didn't upset Irene. her face was bright with joy .. my beloved kids .. you're my sun. dark cloud can't stay long if you're near me ...
but suddenly .. "miss Keke!" I heard Justin called out
the 2 classes are divided only by 4 lockers & a chest high plastic shelf. I had to tiptoe as I peaked through the shelf to see him sitting in the back row.
"what's it ?"
"help me"
"give it a try"
"I can't"
"try, Justin. I still have class here" I really wanted to go there right away to help him but I know I won't push him to be independent & to try to his task by himself ..
kids, it's our job to prepare you to face the world one step at a time though the proccess isn't pleasant such as what Justin faced today to learn doing his task by himself & I learn to hold myself not to come to his side to rescue him right away ... it's hard sometimes ..
