ALL ABOUT REVENGE

Reproach from the Headmaster

The medics came after news that Jody had broken a bone. Before long the news was heard to the ears of the Headmaster. He goes to Jody and asks what happened. While enduring a deep pain, Jody recounted the true events. But he is a good story writer. With the story he made does not match what happened. The headmaster was angry and went to Tama in his tent.

" Tama.. Are you inside?" call the Principal.

Tama who was accompanying Dino at that time, her body became trembling. He was afraid that the Headmaster would scold him for the incident. But he still thinks positively and hopes that no problems will hit him.

" Tama.." cried the Headmaster once more."

" Yes, sir." said Tama then rushed out to meet the Headmaster.

" After this, you come with me to the tent over there. I have something to tell you."

" Eh.good, Sir. I'll catch up with Father. I'm gonna take my raincoat first. It just so happens that my umbrella is being borrowed, sir." said Tama.

" Alright.don't linger. I still have business." said the Headmaster cynically, then left Tama.

After the Headmaster left, Dino approached Tama. He was very worried that his good friend had received punishment from the Headmaster.

" Tama.I'm coming with you, yeah" said Dino.

" No need, Din. Just let me. After all, I was the only one being sought. Don't worry, I know what I'm gonna do. I won't be afraid to face the Headmaster, even if he's angry with me."

" But I'm afraid that you're expelled from this school, Tama. Let me help you talk to the Headmaster. I'll tell you what really happened."

" Already, Din. I can face it myself. I don't want to, you'll even get caught up in this. You just wait in the tent, yeah."

" But this is all because of me. I can't let my best friend face my own problems. Tama, let me help you."

" Dino.listen to me. You stay in the tent or you come with me and you'll make the Headmaster even more angry with me?"

" Hemmh.yeah if you don't allow it. I hope you can temper the Headmaster's anger and be able to explain the real problem."

" Just believe me." said Tama then immediately left Dino and rushed towards the tent where the Headmaster was.

The rain that began to increase rapidly accompanied Tama's footsteps. With slippery roads he was seen to choose which way for his feet to stand. Before long, he had arrived in front of the Headmaster's Tent.

Inside the tent, the Headmaster had been waiting for Tama's arrival. There are also other teachers in it.

" Tama, please come in." said the Headmaster.

" Okay, Mr. Principal."

Tama entered the tent while extending his hand and intended to shake hands with the Teachers in the tent.

" Sit down." said one of the teachers..

" Good, sir." answeredYour manners.

" Tama, I want to ask you. Did you break Jody's leg? Answer honestly."

" Tama, tell me the truth about what happened so you can fight" said Tama's homeroom teacher.

" Okay, I'll tell you the truth. I apologized for this incident. Frankly, I didn't think this could happen. It started when Jody from the outside and returned to the tent. He took off his raincoat and threw it at me. Dino, who was in the tent with me, did not accept. He just scolded Jody. Because what Jody did wasn't right for him.

And they exchanged mouths. Eventually, Jody called out to the other friends so they could see what Jody wanted to do to Dino and me.

After all gathered, Jody also launched the action. He intended to look at Dino's face with all his might. I only repel Jody's attacks. If I hadn't tried to save Dino, Dino might have died from Jody's kick."

" What?! So this is all Jody's own thing?!"asked the Headmaster with a fierce face.

" If you don't believe me, I'll get Dino here. Dino is a good friend of mine, sir. He's an honest kid and doesn't like to tell anyone lies."

" You could've been looking for a way to reverse the fatkta, right?" said the Headmaster tried to suppress Tama.

" ah.. Mr. Principal, don't let us deal with the police. Our school will be smeared. We better solve this problem with family alone. This is the best way in my opinion, sir." said the Guardian class Tama.

" Sir, you are their homeroom teacher. You should be responsible for this incident. But this is a very complicated matter."

" I'm sure Tama didn't lie. He's a good boy. In fact, he likes to help other friends when they are in trouble. So I think what he said is true. Jody alone made up the story and exaggerated the problem. I hope, you are wiser in handling this case" said the Guardian Class Tama.

The other teachers also agreed with the Guardian of the class. They also do not want Tama expelled from school. This made the Headmaster confused. On the other hand, what happened to Jody was already very heavy for him. Because of his broken leg, it's possible that Jody will have a permanent disability.

" Tama.. What would you answer if Jody's parents held you accountable? While I was the Headmaster, I didn't know what to do for him. But clearly, I have the authority to punish you. Right or wrong, you've hurt him. Surely his parents did not accept it and must have asked me to give you punishment. Worse, it's possible that her parents will report you to the police station."

" I'll take responsibility, sir. I'd also tell the truth if they accused me of being violent to Jody."

" Good then. Now you go back to your tent. The matter with Jody, we'll talk to the Teachers later."

" good, Sir. Thank ye. Then I beg your permission to return to my tent." said Tama.

" Tama, don't worry. Later, my father will help you. As a homeroom teacher, you have the right to defend whoever is right. You know you're a very good man. Jody alone may be affected again, because he likes to act arbitrarily to his friends." said the homeroom teacher Tama.

" Thank you, sir." Tama said, then walked quickly to his tent.

From a distance, Xena looked at Tama who was coming out of the Teacher Tent. In the rain which was still quite heavy, he tried to call Tama.

" Tama.." cried Xena.

Tama's steps stopped. He looked for where the voice of the person who called him was. From behind, Xena who was wearing a red umbrella walked up to him.

" i'm Xena.. Don't rain. You will be sick." said Tama.

" ah.. I'm used to playing in the rain from childhood. So don't worry about me. Oh right, what are you doing in the Teacher's tent?"

" Eh.." Tama pensive. He did not continue his words.

" Why, Tama? Why even dumbass?" ask Xena while smiling. Her beautiful lips made Tama ashamed to look at her.

" Did you not know yet? Or pretend you don't know?" tama said nervously.

" I don't know, Tama. That's why I asked you. You got a problem?"

" Hey.." Tama nodded.

" So you have a problem. What's the matter, Tama? Can I know?"

" Maybe many already know. So there's no reason for me to cover it up. Actually I was summoned by the Headmaster for injuring Jody. His leg was broken because I parried him when I wanted to kick Dino. I don't know why it's that bad either."

" Oh.so there was that health worker, because he was carrying Jody. I think from another school." said Xena half surprised.

" Yes, for that incident, I got a reprimand from the Headmaster."

" Eh.But you're okay, right? If Jody's leg could break, you must have been seriously injured. Where's your leg?"

" I'm okay, okay. Just bruising, maybe. Jody's kick was so loud, it might take a week to recover."

" Tama.honestly. Where does it hurt? Don't hold. If it really hurts, I'll tell the Principal."

" No one, Xena. Take it easy, I'm okay. You better go back to your tent. The rain is getting worse now. Moreover, the wind was also quite strong."

" Tama.." said Xena while holding Tama's right hand.

From the corner of his eyes gathered a circle of tears that then flooded in both eyes. The tears flowed when Xena closed her eyes. It was like feeling what Tama was going through right now. A quiet man was even the subject of insults and insults of his friends. He seemed to want to hug and feel the pain that Tama experienced. But he realized, at this time Tama is not his lover.
