A great Monday, even, because that was my first day back at school after the Cupcake Club won the contest. Remember when I mentioned Cupcake Club? I’m in the club with my friends Katie, Alexis, and Emma.

Kemenanganku itu membuatku berpikir mungkin kepindahan kami kesini tak ada salahnya. Tepat sebelum Mom menjemputku pada malam kemenangan besar kami, Alexis melontarkan sebuah ide. “Kita semua harus pakai baju hangat ini ke sekolah Senin nanti,” katanya. “Bukannya itu terkesan pamer?” Tanya Emma. “Harus,” kata Katie. “Anak-anak klub sepak bola memakai baju bola mereka saat menang pertandingan. Kita menang. Kita harus bangga.” “Ya, tentu saja,” kataku setuju. Maksudku, Katie benar. Kami harus bangga. Membuat dua ratus cupcake adalah pekerjaaan berat! Hanya saja, ada satu masalah. Aku tak suka pakai baju hangat. Maaf, tapi terakhir kali aku memakainya waktu umur 5 tahun dan itu membuatku terlihat seperti bakpao kukus.

They are all lumpy and the sleeves are always too long. Even though I wanted to show how proud I was of winning, I also knew there was no way I could wear that sweatshirt on Monday.

Bahannya kasar dan lengannya selalu kepanjangan. Meskipun aku ingin menunjukkan betapa aku bangga jadi pemenang, aku juga tahu aku tidak akan mungkin memakai baju hangat itu Senin nanti. Aku peduli banget sama apa yang kupakai, mungkin karena Mom pernah bekerja di majalah fashion terkenal. Jadi fashion mengalir dalam darahku.

great.” Mom was right, to be honest, and I was a little surprised I hadn’t thought of it first. Our old school uniform was terrible: ugly plaid skirts with plain white, itchy tops. But you could wear a sweater or a jacket and any shoes, so you could get pretty creative with it and not look gross on a daily basis. That’s one of the good things about my new school—you can wear whatever you want. Inspired, I sat at my sewing table the next day and cut up the sweatshirt.

Mom benar, jujur saja, dan aku sedikit heran kenapa hal itu tak terpikir olehku. Seragam sekolah lama kami sangat jelek: rok kotak-kotak jelek dengan atasan putih polos. Namun kau bisa pakai jaket dan sepatu apapun, jadi kau bisa berkreatifria mengakalinya dan nggak terlihat menjijikkan setiap hari.

Ku ikat rambut hitam panjangku jadi ekor kuda. Mungkin pakai bandana… atau mungkin mengepangnya ke samping… “Mia! Kau akan ketinggalan bus!” panggil Mom dari bawah. Aku menghela napas. Aku selalu ketinggalan bus, tak peduli sepagi apa pun aku bangun.

I decided to leave my hair down and hurried downstairs. Taking a bus to school is something I still need to get used to. When I went to my school in New York, I took the subway. A lot of people don’t like the subway because of how crowded it is, but I love it. I like to study the people and see what they’re wearing. Everyone has their own distinct style and things that they’re into. And there are all kinds of people on a subway—old people, moms with little kids, kids going to school like me, people from the suburbs going to work.

Aku putuskan untuk menggerai rambutku dan berlari ke bawah. Naik bus ke sekolah adalah satu hal yang harus kubiasakan. Saat sekolah di New York, aku naik kereta bawah tanah. Banyak yang tidak suka kereta bawah tanah karena sangat ramai, tapi aku suka. Aku suka mengamati orang-orang dan melihat apa yang mereka pakai. Setiap orang punya gaya berbeda dan menyukai hal yang berbeda pula. Dan segala jenis orang ada disana-orang tua, ibuibu dengan anak kecil, anak-anak yang mau ke sekolah sepertiku, orangorang dari daerah

Sydney jahat. Katanya, Sydney selalu berkomentar jelek tentang mereka. Tapi dia nggak pernah mengatakan apa pun yang jahat tentang diriku.

156 And to be honest, I like the way she dresses. 157 She has a really god sense of fashion, which is something we have in common. 158 Like today, she was wearing a scoop-neck Tshirt with a floral chiffon skirt, black leggings, and an awesome wraparound belt that had a large pewter flower as the buckle.

Dan jujur saja, aku suka caranya berpakaian. Selera fashion-nya bagus, satu kesamaan kami.

159 So sometimes I think, you know, that maybe we could be friends. 160 Don’t get me wrong—the girls in the Cupcake Club are my BFFs, and I love them. 161 But none of them are into fashion the way I am. 162 Sydney and Callie sit right across from me. 163 Callie gave me a smile when I sat down. 164 “Those were great cupcakes you guys made on Saturday,” Callie told me. 165 “Thanks,” I said. 166 I thought I saw Sydney give Callie a glare. 167 But when she turned to me, she was smiling too.

Seperti sekarang, dia memakai kaus berkerah bulat dengan rok berbahan sutra lembut dengn motif bunga-bunga, legging hitam, dan sabuk kain yang cantik dengan bunga besar yang terbuat dari timah sebagai gesper.

Tapi tak satupun dari mereka yang suka fashion sepertiku. Sydney dan Callie duduk di seberangku.

191 She turned to Sydney who looked uninterested.

Dia menoleh ke Sydney yang terlihat nggak tertarik. “Kami selalu membaca majalah itu di rumah Sydney.

Sepuluh Murid Baru Pagi itu, waktu aku masih kecil, aku duduk di bangku panjang di depan sebuah kelas. Sebatang pohon filicium tua yang rindang meneduhiku. Ayahku duduk di sampingku, memeluk pundakku dengan kedua lengannya dan tersenyum mengangguk-angguk pada setiap orangtua dan anakanaknya yang duduk berderet-deret di bangku panjang lain di depan kami. Hari itu adalah hari yang agak penting: hari pertama masuk SD. Di ujung bangku-bangku panjang tadi ada sebuah pintu terbuka.

Ten New Students That morning, when I was just a boy, I sat on a long bench outside of a school.

Kosen pintu itu miring karena seluruh bangunan sudah doyong seolah akan roboh.

Di mulut pintu berdiri dua orang guru seperti para penyambut tamu dalam perhelatan. Mereka adalah seorang bapak tua berwajah sabar, bapak K.A. Harfan Efendy Noor, sang kepala sekolah dan seorang wanita muda berjilbab, ibu N.A. Muslimah Hafsari atau Bu Mus.

Seperti ayahku, mereka berdua juga tersenyum.

The branch of an old filicium tree shaded me.


My father sat beside me, hugging my shoulders with both his arms as he nodded and smiled to each parent and child sitting side by side on the bench in front of us.

It was an important day: the first day of elementary school. At the end of those long benches was an open door, and inside was an empty classroom. The door frame was crooked. The entire school, in fact, leaned as if it would collapse at any moment. In the doorway stood two teachers, like hosts welcoming guests to a party. There was an old man with a patient face, Bapak K.A. Harfan Efendy Noor, or Pak Harfan—the school principal—and a young woman wearing jilbab, or headscarf, Ibu N.A. Muslimah Hafsari, or Bu Mus for short. Like my father, they also were smiling.

Namun, senyum Bu Mus adalah senyum getir yang dipaksakan karena tampak jelas beliau sedang cemas. Wajahnya tegang dan gerak-geriknya gelisah. Ia berulang kali menghitung jumlah anakanak yang duduk di bangku panjang. Ia demikian khawatir sehingga tak peduli pada peluh yang mengalir masuk ke pelupuk matanya. Titik-titik keringat yang bertimbulan di seputar hidungnya menghapus bedak tepung beras yang dikenakannya, membuat wajahnya coreng-moreng seperti pemeran emban bagi permaisuri dalam Dul Muluk, sandiwara kuno kampung kami. “Sembilan orang … baru sembilan orang Pamanda Guru, masih kurang satu…,” katanya gusar pada bapak kepala sekolah. Pak Harfan menatapnya kosong.

Aku juga merasa cemas. Aku cemas karena melihat Bu Mus yang resah dan karena beban perasaan ayahku menjalar ke seluruh tubuhku.

20

Meskipun beliau begitu ramah pagi ini tapi lengan kasarnya yang melingkari leherku mengalirkan degup jantung yang cepat.

21

Aku tahu beliau sedang gugup dan aku maklum

Yet Bu Mus’ smile was a forced smile: she was apprehensive.

Ada tiga alasan mengapa para orangtua mendaftarkan anaknya disini. Pertama, karena sekolah Muhammadiyah tidak menetapkan iuran dalam bentuk apa pun, para orangtua hanya menyumbang sukarela semampu mereka. Kedua, karena firasat, anak-anak mereka dianggap memiliki karakter yang mudah disesatkan iblis sehingga sejak usia muda harus mendapat pendadaran Islam yang tangguh. Ketiga, karena anaknya memang tidak diterima di sekolah manapun. Bu Mus yang semakin khawatir memancang pandangannya ke depan jalan raya di seberang lapangan sekolah berharap kalau-kalau masih ada pendaftar baru. Kami prihatin melihat harapan hampa itu. Maka tidak seperti suasana di SD lain yang penuh kegembiraan ketika menerima murid angkatan baru, suasana hari pertama di SD Muhammadiyah penuh dengan kerisauan, dan yang paling risau adalah Bu Mus dan Pak Harfan. Guru-guru yang sederhana ini berada dalam situasi genting karena Pengawas Sekolah

Elementary School, it too was the poorest village school in Belitong. There were only three reasons why parents enrolled their children here. The first, Muhammadiyah Elementary didn’t require any fees, and parents could contribute whatever they could afford whenever they could do so. The second, the parents feared that their children had weak character and could easily be led astray by the Devil, so they wanted them to have strong Islamic guidance from a young age . The third, their children wasn’t accepted at any other school. Bu Mus, who was growing increasingly fretful, stared at the main road, hoping there would still be another new student.

Seeing her empty hope scared us. So unlike other elementary schools that were full of happiness when welcoming the students of their newest class, the atmosphere on the first day at Muhammadiyah Elementary School was full of concern, and the most concerned of all were Bu Mus and Pak Harfan. Those humble teachers were in this nerve wracking situation because of a warning issued by the

Kenyataan bahwa beliau hanya memerlukan satu siswa lagi untuk memenuhi target itu menyebabkan pidato ini akan menjadi sesuatu yang menyakitkan hati. “Kita tunggu sampai pukul sebelas,” kata Pak Harfan pada Bu Mus dan seluruh orangtua yang telah pasrah. Suasana hening.

School Super intendent from the South Sumatra Department of Education and Culture: if Muhammadiyah Elementary School had fewer than ten new students, then the oldest school in Belitong would be shut down. Therefore Bu Mus and Pak Borrowing & Harfan were worried about Linguistic being shut down, while the Compression parents were worried about expenses, and we— the nine small children caught in the middle— were worried we may not get to go to school at all.

Last year Muhammadiyah Elementary School only had eleven students. Pak Harfan was pessimistic that they would meet the target of ten this year, so he secretly prepared a school closing speech.

The fact that he only needed one more student would make this speech even more painful to give.

Today was Bu Mus’ first day as a teacher, a moment she had been dreaming of for a very long time. She had just graduated the week before from Sekolah Kepandaian Putri (Vocational Girls’ School), a junior high school in the capital of the regency, Tanjong Pandan. She was only fifteen years old. Sadly, her fiery spirit to be a teacher was about to be doused by a bitter reality—the threat of her school closing because they were short by just one student. Bu Mus stood like a statue under the bell, staring out at the wide schoolyard and the main road. No one appeared. In the meantime, the parents probably took the shortage of one student as a sign for their children— it would be better if they sent them to work.

The other children and I felt heartbroken: heartbroken to face our disadvantaged parents, heartbroken to witness the final moments before the old school closed on the very day we were supposed to start, and heartbroken to know that our strong desire to study

It was five till eleven. Bu Mus could no longer hide her dejection.
