"Why are you laughing? Do you really understand what she just said?"

Speechless. Can I get some peace just a second, please?

"If you really understand, please tell me what she meant by now. I'm scared that you might have mistaken her jokes. Well, you are a city-dweller if you don't remember. Our language might be different and other things, you know?"

I'm deaf. I'm mute and completely deaf. I'm a NPC, non-player character.

"CAN YOU SHUT UP? Please." is a sentence that I CAN'T say out loud to him in front of everyone. I just murmured it to myself. Pray if one day I have tons of courage to say it to him. I can't wait until that day comes.

The teacher seems awkward at first. But she stayed professional, as she should. Then, she informed us that she will hold an exam to test our understanding about her course.

Thanks again. 

I think this is my time to shine. I have to prove that I can do better than this, do better than him. And make him say my real name without making any other name for me anymore.

Nonetheless, I'm just a newcomer in this place, like the meaning of my name. What a coincidence. Can I beat him in his own language subjects? I don't think so.

"You can do it." the teacher said when approaching my seat at the very back of the class.

She encouraged me. The teacher of the most difficult course that I've been learning in my whole life and I fight for it for my name, just encourage me with her words? Yes, I can do it. I can pass this exam with a perfect score.

HALAMAN :
  1. 1
  2. 2
