ARAKAS

Chapter 63

Karrel mendribble the basketball he just received and put it in the ring. He was waiting for Ara who said there was a business for a while with his friend.

Now it was a break, because it was common to go to the cafeteria with them at rest, so Karrel still had to wait for the girl. Unless Ara says she's not going to the cafeteria. So, while waiting for Ara, Karrel, Bintang and Devin decide to play basketball for a while. It just so happens that his basketball court is not used by anyone.

Karrel again took a position when the ball has bounced back up. The three boys were not involved in the school basketball club, but their game was not inferior to the school basketball athletes. Actually they have been offered to join by the club chairman, but they refused on the grounds of not interested and too time-consuming.

Carrel put the ball back in the ring, for the umpteenth time.

"Slightly why, anyway" said Devin. Because only the ball rarely goes into the ring compared to the two best friends. Soon they stopped their game. The carrel sits on the floor of the central field. His eyes occasionally glanced to the right, looking around in case Ara appeared. But the girl hasn't shown up yet either.

"Where is Ara?" ask Stars. He knew that Karrel had been waiting for the girl.

"There is a business for a moment with friends he said." said Karrel. The stars understood. Devin himself was busy gulping down his mineral water. He's too thirsty.

"ARAA LOOKOUT!"

suddenly the thunderous loud screams from a class not far from them made the three stare at each other in shock. The screams were so loud that they clearly heard the screamer shout Ara's name. Suddenly Karrel's heart stopped. He's panicked. His brain was suddenly empty. He stood up and ran as fast as he could. No, don't... He couldn't if something bad happened to Ara. Star and Devin run behind Karrel.

Ara accompanies Manda to meet Mika, one of Manda's friends in X⁶ class. Manda borrowed Mika's printed book. Because Mika wants to wear it today, so she has to return it.

Since it's my hour, the students in Mika's class are on average outside of the classroom. Manda and Ara had passed the class that was deliberately vacated by the school to become a place for the crew and artists, because it was located just next to each other. It just so happened that Ravel saw it. They're on a break shoot. Ravel also could not stand being so quiet like Ara. He needs to talk to the girl, he wants Ara to come back to their house.

As she enters Mika's class, Ara waits at the front desk and Manda walks back. Long enough Manda and Mika chat.  Suddenly Ara was shocked because someone suddenly kissed her cheek from behind. The girl turned around and found Sion, the delinquent who had once chased her, standing in front of her with a defiant smile. The guy is really rude and likes to do it. That's why Ara didn't like it. So this is his class? For almost a month Ara had not seen Zion. He tried to wipe away Zion's kiss on her cheek and looked at Zion angrily.

"What are you doing?!" angry shouting. Mika and Manda stopped talking, turning their eyes to Ara. The other two students in the back were also witnesses when Zion entered the class and suddenly kissed Ara on the cheek. Good thing it's on the cheek. But still for Ara it was an insult.

"Kium lo's. Have you never been kissed? Don't sell expensively. You're just a sloppy chick too." Zion replies and insults.

"Heh crazy guy!" Manda exclaimed from behind. He was preparing to come forward to defend Ara but Mika quickly held him back.

"Don't be troubled by Zion Man, he has many delinquent child friends." whispered Mika held Manda captive.

"But Ara made me," said Manda.

"He knows. But don't be reckless. Think of an idea first."

"Fuck, you fucking chick!"

THE PLAQUE!!

Ara immediately staggered a few steps back. Sion slapped him back so hard that the corner of his lips bled.  It hurt so much that Ara's eyes warmed up, but she refrained from crying.

"Mom!" Manda, Mika and two other schoolgirls stood up to Ara. It's so cruel Zion. Very hard to mukulin women.

From behind the classroom door, Ravel clenched her hands. He stood there just as his sister was slapped by the jerk. His eyes turned dark, his emotions peaked.

The door opened loudly. Everyone is looking ahead. They were astonished because it was Ravel. Who doesn't know Ravel tried.

"K. kakak," murmured Ara quietly but Manda and the others could hear him.

"Sister?" Manda repeated the word still confused.

Ravel looked at Ara for a while, without saying anything. Then his eyes turned to the jerk and with a quick movement Ravel raised her fists to make Zion fall down in front of the table.

Unsatisfied with a single blow, he clutched back the collar of Zion's shirt, forced her to stand up straight then again punched her face with all his might.

"Sister," Ara stood up touching Ravel's arm. He shook his head as if begging the man to stop what he had done.

"It's school." murmured Ara, she didn't want her brother to get in trouble because of her. He's enough. He really loved Ravel. For him Ravel is his older brother, that will never change. Even if his heart hurts because of them.

"He dares slap you, tell me he touched you where else?" ravel's voice sounded different, she touched Ara's red cheeks.  His emotions rose again when he saw the corner of Ara's bloody lips.

"Suck!" a hard blow back he lay to Zion and then turned to Ara looking for the part where else the fuckin' guy touched. Just be careful if he sees any blisters on the other part of his sister's body. He wouldn't let that delinquent just like that.

Manda himself was still amazed by what he saw. The place is starting to get crowded. Mika, who had been watching Zion since, saw the guy pull out a knife from inside his shirt and walked up to Ara and Ravel. He panicked and shouted loudly.

"ARAA LOOKOUT!" Ravel, who turned around, saw Sion directing the knife. He immediately took Ara into his arms, held her tightly, wanting to protect her sister. As a result, the knife hit Ravel. He was stabbed in the back. Fresh blood flowed down his clothes and Ara's hands. In that instant, Karrel, Star and Devin appeared from behind the door. But it's too late, because Ravel's been stabbed.

People are getting crowded. There are also journalists who are busy photographing and recording the incident. Tristan and several other crew members came to the scene. Tristan who saw Ravel fall down with Ara immediately barged into the crowd.
