Zafran did not respond to Ramanda's proposal. He just looks like he's pinching his own head.
"Zaf?" call Ramanda. Looking forward to the answer from Zafran. He immediately sat down next to the guy.
"Lo can stay on my own? I want to rest" said Zafran.
"Yes already. If there is anything you can tell me," said Ramanda while holding gently Zafran's shoulder. He's getting out of the room.
Zafran grunts violently. He threw his body into the bed. Stretched out in a two-handed position.
Ramanda's advice on moving schools is being considered by Zafran. But he feels Ramanda High School is still quite close to his school. In addition, many of Ramanda's schoolmates already knew Zafran. So automatically many also know the sloping news about him.
Zafran intends to give a one-day chance. He wants to see how his school responds. Despite that, Zafran certainly could not go to school. He will ask the situation through his three good friends only.
As a result of tired thoughts, Zafran finally fell into a deep. Let the night change by morning. The open window shines the morning sun.
Sunlight does not awaken the Zafran. He even made a pillow as eye protection.
Different from Lika. At home, the girl was already at the dinner table. He woke up very early because he wanted to quickly meet Zafran at school. Lika intends to fix things.
Before that, Lika planned to talk to Selia first. He wanted to make sure the aunt would not insult Zafran like in the super market.
"Tante why did you yesterday call a family child like an illegitimate child?" chirps Lika. Breaking the silence that happened.
"Lik.." call Tama lirih. He tried to stop the topic of conversation that Lika wanted to talk to.
"Jeez, Lika. why do you have to ask everything. You don't understand that Zafran is a child out of wedlock." Selia responded enthusiastically. He even smiled. Pleased over the sloping news of Laksana's family back heating up. "The second child is even a bastard. His father and mother Zafran seemed to be very fond of making children in forbidden relationships. Disgusting" he continued, shaking his shoulders.
"I know, Auntie. But Aunty doesn't feel sorry for Zafran? He must be really embarrassed," said Lika.
"Pity?! Poor thing you said?!" Selia was stunned to hear Lika's words. His nephew lowered his head.
"Lika's right, honey. What if the words you said made him depressed? I'm sure everyone at school must be talking about the news about his family. He is still a teenager and is in the growth stage. Problems like this must feel heavy for a child of her age or even Lika." I agree with Lika. According to him, Selia's attitude this time is too excessive.
"Why are you defending the enemy?! Hear that! Because of that like family my father passed away!" Selia was astonished by Lika and Tama's attitude. He stood up reflexively. Staring at the two people sitting at a table with him.
"That's not it, honey, it's just that Lika and the child don't deserve to be the victims of your anger and the Laksana family. They don't know shit. You shouldn't have influenced Lika to go along with hating Laksana's family" Tama said. Trying to calm down Selia who was breathing hard because of anger.
"Dear I am not the same?! Why continue to defend them?!" sahut Selia's. Suddenly breaking the cry. Make Lika stand up.
"I'm not defending them. I'm just worried about Lika's future. I'm afraid what's happening right now is also having a bad impact on him." Tama immediately brought Selia into the arms.
"Sorry, Auntie. I don't mean to make Auntie cry..." Lika helps Tama calm Selia down.
"It's okay, baby..." Selia took off Tama's embrace. Then switch to holding Lika's shoulder. "Nothing happened to you, right? Are the words of Mas Tama true?" said worried.
"I don't know. Maybe fitting later in school, then I can see the impact," replied Lika while holding the rope backpack.
"That's it. Let me take care of your aunt. You can go to school now." Tama embraces Selia. Let Lika go to school.
Lika nodded slowly. He immediately disappeared swallowed by the distance.
Arriving at school, Lika discovers the news of the horrendous Zafran. As one of the people in the video, Lika certainly also became the talk of everyone. He and Selia were called shameless people.
It turned out that everything was not as Lika had expected. Everyone was feeling sorry for Zafran.
"Eh, look there's Lika. Now I know whose mouth his spiciness comes from."
"Zafran's ass teased him as the mouth of a chicken butt. I'm panting anyway."
"Yes that. Because of the mouth of the chicken's ass. Here the one who should be ashamed is him, not Zafran!"
"Zafran must have been saddened to know that his name was also removed from the candidate of the chairman of the osis."
As Lika walked through the school corridor, she could hear the cynical whispers from everyone. Lika just walked quietly and looked at the ears.
Lika rushed off to Zafran's class. All eyes were fixed on him. But Lika doesn't care. He immediately approached Galih who happened to have come.
"I want to talk!" lika.
Galih was initially stunned. Even so, he could guess the thing Lika wanted to ask. Especially if you don't ask about Zafran.
"Zafran will not be attending school today. He said he wanted to see the situation first" Galih said. Noticing the facial expression Lika showed. That girl looks so sad. His anxiety was so clearly read.
"Why don't you want to say Zafran anyway?" Galih asked him something that had always made him curious.
"Gue's not ready yet, cf. Matt. I'm the same Zafran is still in school. In my opinion, we still do not have any backstreet relationship. But Zafran always did the unexpected" Lika explained at length.
"Lo mending discussion is good with Zafran," suggested Galih.
"That's what I want to do. But Zafran never picks up the phone or replies to my messages!"
"If so, mending you try to come to his house. How's it? I'll help you. But I can't do that myself."
Lika took a long breath. He thinks before making a decision. But because he really wanted to talk to Zafran, Lika had no other choice.
"okay! But who do you need help with?" ask Lika.
"Ervan and Hendra!" galih replied while raising his two eyebrows together.
"Yes already. You can tell them about my relationship with Zafran. But try to keep everything secret," said Lika who immediately responded by Galih with a nod of the head.
At the same time, Zafran had already woken up from sleep. He took a cell phone and saw many new messages. Zafran deliberately ignored the calls and messages from Lika. He focused on reading a new message from Hendra. His friend told him that Zafran was no longer one of the candidates for the chairman of the osis.
Zafran added a fuss. He slammed the phone into the bed. Then rubbed his face rough. Zafran believes everything that happened was due to news about his parents.
Overthinking made Zafran's embarrassment grow. It seems he can't face everyone.
Ramanda's words last night suddenly flashed through Zafran's mind. The only thing he has now is family. He felt guilty for blaming everything on Gamal and Zara.
Zafran pondered long enough while sitting on the edge of the mattress. Next, Zafran ran out of the room. It was then that she found Zara sitting in the front seat of her room. His mother had waited a long time.
"Mother! sorry me..." Zafran ran into Zara's arms. He apologized for everything he said yesterday.
"It's okay. Mother and Papah are wrong..." Zara smiled and gently rubbed Zafran's shoulder.
"No, Mother is not wrong. I should thank you for being born" Zafran said sincerely. He and Zara held each other for quite a while.
"Come, you better eat first. From yesterday there was no eating" Zara asked as she took off her embrace. Then pull Zafran down the stairs. They soon arrived at the dinner table.
Zafran looked straight at Zara. Because there's something he wants to talk about.
"Why? Same with Mother. Do not confide in Ramanda continue," said Zara.
Zafran smiled faintly. He immediately said, "I want to change schools. May it?"
"Bby dong. Definitely Ramanda High School," Zara guessed with confidence.
Zafran. "No. But abroad!"
