Lukisan tanpa cahaya

Bagaimana mengajarkan nilai kecantikan kepada seorang remaja putri merupakan tantangan bagi saya. Menjalanin profesi sebagai seorang guru kadang tidak menempatkan kita hanya untuk mengajarkan mata pelajaran yang kita kuasai. Menjadi guru membuat kita harus mampu menjadi sahabat bagi anak didik kita. Suatu hari, duduk dihadapan saya seorang remaja putri yang cantik, manis dan cukup pandai di kelasnya. Tapi ada kemurungan diwajahnya.
