In the morning the sky is still covered by thick white clouds, some corners of the yard are still filled with fog, thick white clouds that begin to move in the breeze hide the presence of the sun that is about to appear to start giving its light to the world.
"Get up, kid. See what time it is? You did not go to school?" Alex's mother said as she opened the bedroom curtain.
The clock showed 06.30 in the morning. Alex was still reluctant to open his eyes, but the glare of the sun from between the ventilation and the bedroom window forced Alex to open his eyes and slowly muster the energy to get up. After a while I sat on the bed then went downstairs to take a shower. Alex saw his parents were dressed neatly and smelled good.
“Mom and dad have to go to the office, there is an urgent meeting. Mom and dad will be home around 5 pm. My mother has prepared your breakfast and lunch for you on the table. Hurry, take a bath!" Her mother said while tidying her husband's tie.
After finishing taking a shower and having a little breakfast, Alex looked at the clock on the wall in his room, it was 7 in the morning. Online learning will start soon. Alex started to open the laptop and turn it on. That morning, the lesson will begin face-to-face with Alex's favorite subject, Biology.
"Good morning and healthy greetings to your children who are in class IX,"
a warm morning greeting from the teacher
"Dear children, this morning we will discuss the importance of applying Symbiosis in social life. As previously, you said that one of the symbiosis that we must practice in social life is symbiosis mutualism, namely the relationship between fellow creatures who work together to benefit each other and as much as possible away from the symbiosis of parasitism, which is only thinking about yourself and not caring about other people. other. Even though this is a biological science, what's wrong with the philosophical values contained as long as it brings benefits, we have to take it and put it into practice." The teacher said it
Didn't feel right, all the subjects that day were finished, Alex followed it carefully and took a lot of note-taking tasks. With a pile of tasks yet to be memorized, I feel like crying. However, I'm an adult. I'm in grade IX now. I thought crying would not finish all the schoolwork. So, I have to calm down.” Alex said while rubbing his chest.
After some school work was done little by little, Alex started to pick up the cellphone. Opened some messages on Whatsapp from a classmate named Maria. Alex is like a madman, laughing and smiling to himself, sometimes while rolling on the carpet in front of the television. Every now and then he kisses his phone.
Alex has been in love with Maria since he met her at a student orientation event before the Covid-19 attack. Maria is a beautiful person, her body is quite tall with big brown eyes. Her long straight black hair. Maria is also a smart student.
"What's the reason you fell in love with Maria?" Daniel asked Alex
“I don't know either. I have the hardest time answering the question of why I can love someone.” Alex replied
"Is it because of beauty and intelligence?" Daniel asked again
"If my reason is because of intelligence and beauty, I don't think so, you just pay attention at this school. Who is smart and beautiful, not only Maria, right?" rebutted Alex confidently
"Then why did you fall in love?" Daniel asked curiously
"I told you I was confused looking for the answer. Obviously I fell in love with him and every time I saw his face or met my heart beat fast."
Since corona virus and schools are closed in other words, learning is only through the internet. Since then Alex and Maria have only been able to send longing messages, telephone calls, video calls, and occasionally they send photos to each other and make frequent calls every night until they are both fast asleep.
The End.
