"Let's go break the law just one more time."

"Muallimah, kira kita present tadi mantap dah ke?"

"Ye, mantap. Tahniah." Angguk-angguk. "Tapi mesti lagi mantap kalau nota ada."

"Kita pergi solat terawih, muallimah!"

"Ape banat tak solat terawih ke?"

"Diorang uzur, muallimah!"

The class laughed.

"Hah?" Mouth dropped. "Mulut, ya Rabbi..."

"Isu sensitif tu!" A banin chirped.

"Ok, ok. Dah." Laughter resided. "Kumpulan seterusnya dipersilakan."

One banat got up and passed around neatly-typed notes for the whole class. She took her spot, ready to present her part on Khalifah Ali Abu Talib.

The class shuffled in focus.

"Aslmwbt."

The earlier banin replied in a sing-song voice.

"Jangan layan dia. Teruskan."

He sniggered.

"Pertama sekali, nota ini saya buat semalam, selepas balik dari solat terawih."

Laughter enrupted. With a huge grin, the teacher set to the banins and said, "Ambik!"

"Ahhh. Buat semalam. Kita tak main buat kerja last minit ni."

Males. They just gotta win.

Lessons:
-Be in control of your time.
-Less excuses, more productivity.
-Make nice notes.

The next day...

"Kenapa lembik je ni? Bersemangat sikit nak belajar!"

"Semalam kita i3tikaf, muallimah!"
