The dawn was still dark. The rays of the sun can hardly be seen. There was a silverish white Proton Persona just started leaving the house of 3, Jln TPS 3/10, leaving the house as dark as if it was deserted. Away & away it went the car, until it went out of the sight from the house.
This was the first time my mum drove me & my brother to school in her new car. The journey was just like usual but there was slow moving traffics along the journey because there were cops checking every car’s license.
The Sun shores its high frequency light waves to every single object on the earth, providing lights for us to see. Soon, the building of SMJK Yu Hua came into sight. It is my school, the best school in Kajang.
I had to climb 5 flights of stairs to reach my class-5E with a heavy burden behind my back. It was quite suffering.
Until now, Malaysia had over 60 cases of influenza A(H1N1) cases but none of them died. I never thought this virus will spread to Kajang so quickly until the teacher made an announcement in the hall today that there were 3 students had been suspected for being infected with this virus & were quarantined at home now. Two of them were from the morning session while the other was from the afternoon session. One of the morning session infected student was from my class! When I heard about this I felt like the end of my days were coming. I wasn’t sure what should I do now. I wasn’t sure whether I had been infected by this virus because yesterday I spoke to a girl who had been sent back immediately today after she told teacher that she had fever. Although this seems to be serious but the headmaster said the school will not be closed until the health ministry ordered to.
Back in the class, we were talking about the recent event. When the other students from the other classes walked pass our class, I noticed they’ll look into our class to see if there were anything happened. Or maybe they did this because my class monitor wore a mask & a pair of glove walking here & there around the school compound. Any teacher came into our class we will try to scare them off by making some sneezing & coughing sounds but the teacher said this A(H1N1) virus wasn’t a deadly virus because there were currently no death reported in Malaysia due to this virus.
As time goes by, the girl who sat beside the quarantined girl started to have running nose. Everyone started to get fear. Then later I noticed there were more & more student get sick. Even some teacher also had slight cough. I was getting feared of this situation. I had no mood to study today in class. I wanted to get back home as soon as possible. Why choose Yu Hua? Why not High School or SMK Jalan Bukit? I don’t understand why. Although I was still feeling normal but I scared I’ll be infected too since I was just recovered from dengue fever few weeks ago, my immunity system was still not strong enough.
What should I do now? What if these sick students come to school tomorrow? What if I get infected too? Will this be my final message to everyone I concern? Please, for the sake of the other’s health, do not come in contact with other people if you are not feeling well. God bless you…
