My World is Different.

My name is Sera. I'm a human being. In fact I do not think I have any merit. My world is different from the others.

I am currently in the classroom, following the Biology lesson that my master Bu Rohmah describes.

Suddenly someone threw me a sheet of crushed paper. I opened it too.



"Deafness." Is the content of the paper.

I already know the word very well because it is a word that every day is always thrown at me.
The students in my class are very fond of me in many ways. This is one of them. Yes, I am deaf. But I wonder, what's wrong with being deaf? Is being deaf to kill someone?

This world is very cruel to me. No, not cruel. But not fair. Why do people always look down on people with disabilities? Can not they just appreciate us a little?

Right now I do not have a single friend. All the students of this school no one wants to be friends with me. There used to be, they named Vani, Rena, Davina and Tia. They are like my family. They are often harassed for being friends with someone like me. People who need to use hearing aids. Every day there is always something that annoys them. Initially they may be ordinary, but for a long time they can not stand because every day a mockery. So they decided to break the line of our friendship.

Suddenly someone kicked at my desk. It turns out that someone is Mrs. Rohmah. He may be angry because I have been daydreaming.

"Sera !! From the day you dreamed of not paying attention to mother! Do not you intend to study? If so please come out! Do not follow the mother's lesson! "She snapped.
"I'm sorry, let me keep learning. I promise not to daydream again. "I said
"Yes, but if you do it again you will not hesitate to drag you out of the classroom." Rohmah replied.

Now it's break time. I was sitting in the cafeteria eating meatballs I bought in the cafeteria 3. Suddenly there was a handsome male figure who stood in front of me with a plate of fried rice.
"Eh?" I said spontaneously, staring strangely at him
"Hi. You yourself? Can I sit down? Nemenin you? "Said the man
"If you want yes please," I replied
The man sat next to me.

"Oh yeah, greetings. My name is Reihan Zailendra Pratama. Call aja Rei or Reihan can also "said the man and ate his fried rice.
"Sera," I said
Then we both started to eat each other without saying a word.

"Are you a new kid?" I asked
"What's wrong?" Asked the man behind Reihan
"You're not afraid of being ridiculed tuh?"
"What the heck? Ridiculed why? I do not understand. "
"Usually, people close to me are ridiculed for being friends with someone like me. So I suggest you cepet cepet far away from me. "
"We just got acquaintances, you've told me far from you. Is there something wrong with you until the person approaching you is mocked? "
"Here," I said, showing my ear using a hearing aid and tying my hair.
He probably had not seen it because it was covered in my loose hair.

"I go first," I said as I went back to class
"Eh wait. Barong dong, right class. "He pleaded
"But I do not see you in class. Introducing yourself does not seem to me. "
"Yes, of course. I did not introduce myself. Besides you, too, work in the class muluh mulel. "
I immediately left him with a quick step.
"Hoy! Sera! "He yelled as he chased me
I ignored him. I speed up my pace, because the bell is ringing indicates the lesson will begin soon. Soon I got to class and Pak Pandu entered the classroom to start the lesson.

It does not seem right now to go home because the last hour is over.
I went home with my bike.
Upon arriving at home I was not greeted by anyone because my house is lonely. My mom and dad are at work. My family is not a rich family, but I'm grateful that my parents can afford to pay for the necessities of life.
I went to my room and immediately threw myself on the bed to come to the dream world and rest my tired body.

I was awakened by the chaos. The voice came from both of my parents. Yes, they lately bickered because of a problem I do not know. I immediately let go of the tools I did not want to know the problem being discussed. I do not use hearing aids at home because for what I'm wearing if all I hear is trouble and problems. I am tired of all this.

Today is a little different from yesterday's day.
Today 'maybe' I got a friend. Although yesterday I had told him to stay away from me, Reihan still approached me.
Actually even though I told him to stay away, deep down I still want to have friends, have a place of heartbreak. Who does not want to have friends anyway?
For now, I still have God to pour out my heart.

Since yesterday, for some reason I always felt my heart beating fast every time Reihan approached me. Not only that, Reihan also managed to make me smile.
Yes, I am 'rarely' smiling. No one has ever entertained me ever since, even comedy shows on television never made me smile. My parents never had time for me, they were too busy working.

2 months have passed,
I still live the same life but accompanied by someone, he is named Reihan. He was not a mockery because he did not deserve it. He is a 'being', and he is also popular because of his good looks, his perfection, so many are approaching him and no one dares to mock him. Not only men but women too much.
Who was not unnerved by him? even I was amazed by him, every day my feelings to him increasingly.

Though I wanted to have 'more' status from friends, but I'm grateful that Reihan is my friend. He gave the food that his "fans" gave me, he gave everything to me. But because of that too, I feel worse off. Many women in the school who membullyku, because do not accept Reihan close to someone like me. They pulled my hair, beat me, and until they destroyed my hearing aid. They did all that behind Reihan, they threatened me not to talk to him.
When my tool breaks down, Reihan asks me where my device is, then I say that the tool is broken. So on that day I did not use the tools, I read lips to communicate.

But the next day, Reihan bought me a new hearing aid, even he himself put it in my ear
"Why are you too nice to me, Rei?" I asked
"I'm doing this for your happiness," he replied
"Thanks Rei, you are like my angel. Sorry, I can not repay all your kindness. "
I say. Tears have stemmed in my eyes craters.
"I just want you to be happy. That's all. "He said as he stroked my hair.
And right then I can not hold back my tears. My tears rushed down my cheeks, after a long time finally the tears I've been holding for years finally spilled out, I cried, I've always been strong to keep him, but why not now?

Reihan said "Why, how about crying?" Then he hugged me for a moment, and then wiped my cheek and said "Hey, already dong cry. The time of a Sera cried anyway? "
I began to calm down, my tears slowly began to stop.
I asked, why am I like this? Before I was not an emotional person like this.
Reihan had knocked down my fortress. I was a rare smile, and rarely cried eventually he could conquer.

I wish I could express my racism to him, but that's impossible because I'm not sure he has the same feelings for me. I do not deserve it, he is more deserving of a more beautiful, better, more everything from me.

My world is different, but Reihan has managed to make my different World different from the others.
I was made happy with his presence but I was at once down. I can not stand with all the bully actions of the women who love her.
My world is different from the beginning and Reihan is making it completely different and I can not bear to live it anymore, I want to change this different world.
Goodbye Rei, thanks for all your kindness. Hope we meet again.

I Love You
