Azaleas

Mosaic 11: Apologize

‘This is my way, it's up to people to judge it good or bad’

After some time in the silence she made herself, Azalea heard her phone ring. He reluctantly picks up his phone and picks up the phone. Aiman's voice sounded worried over there.

“You okay?” dismayingly.

“No, I'm not okay.” stump Azalea.

“Open the curtain, I'm here!” tell Aiman.

Once in doubt, Azalea opened the curtain and found Aiman on the balcony of her room. Sighing in disbelief Azalea was only fixated on looking at the pale-looking Aiman.

“I can't open the window.” Honestly Azalea pointed to the bars installed in her window since one year ago, when she ran away from her room to go for a walk at night.

“I know, I just want to see how you are.” Aiman said.

“How come you're here, no bodyguards are looking? If they knew you'd be in trouble!” sunggut Azalea was flat even though she actually felt worried.

“I'm more worried about you, surely the slap hurt.” Although they were sitting through the window, they still put the phone in their ears. Implied sincerity in the eyes of Aiman who always beamed, dim along with the look of his face that shows regret.

“Hm, this sports a face that is quite painful.” Azalea joked briefly, smiling small as if able to tolerate the pain that exists.

“He's gone too far, you should fight!” aiman's annoyance was thrown away, hearing that Azalea was even offended, I don't know. “How can he do that, whatever yesterday he bullied you?” gusar Aiman felt guilty about not being able to protect Azalea. “He should be punished.”

“What if he is indeed punished?” asked Azalea in a cautious tone, “What punishment do you think should be given to her?” Azalea looked curious about Aiman's answer, after all Nia like that because she likes Aiman.

“Heavy punishment, so that he is deterred and does not do it again. How dare he bully you, as hard as he hates engagement you're innocent. A woman doesn't have to be violent, she sucks. If I meet him I will scold him, just calm down!” not this answer that Azalea expected, it felt like she was even hurt and disappointed in Aiman. Nia may not have had a choice and could only vent it on Azalea, but that doesn't mean Azalea justifies her attitude. Still, one should not look at Nia's attitude from one glance.

“If his sentence is expelled from school?” said Azalea again lost the mood to listen further.

“Of course it's good,” Aiman stopped, suddenly understood the remark, “Ye? Removed from school?” tanyanya. He didn't think there and it was too much.

“Have gone home! I want to rest, don't think too much of me! I've heard.” oust Azalea in a low tone, forced smile. He did not want to wait for Aiman's response, closing the phone and the curtains just as Aiman tapped on the glass window.

After making sure Aiman left, Azalea could not rest easily. He was reminded of Niska, Yuki and Nia. The three told him to stay away from his fiancee, something he couldn't possibly take for granted, let alone his main point was grandfather.

What it really is, is liking someone. Why did they want Azalea to go away from the person they liked, so much did they fear Azalea, fearing if they switched to liking her and lost to Azalea. Honestly, he never liked someone, not because he did not want to but the time and position made him unconscious of his own feelings.

Not wanting to linger pitying themselves who did not know the meaning of liking, Azalea again moved closer to the window, opening the curtain to make sure Aiman was gone. But accidentally, his eyes fell on a girl he knew very well, was talking to grandfather's personal bodyguard, then they walked together, Azalea guessed, that the girl wanted to talk to grandfather. But the thing is, what does he want to talk about with grandfather, at night, and alone?

The short-haired girl always felt her life was unlucky, because it was born from an ordinary family that was sometimes always short of money. He expressed his complaint through studying hard so that he finally managed to get into the desired school, Kusuma High School with the help of a scholarship.

Although he does not need to worry about the cost of school, still money for his daily life is still not enough. His pocket money can only be used for transportation costs and saved in moderation for the sake of buying books.

Nia Aulia did not expect that entering this High School would make her isolated, more precisely isolated because she felt low.

After one semester.

Nia cheered happily when she found her name on the school floor as a second-ranked student in the midterms. So enthusiastic he pranced out of control to make his bag that was already hollow in the middle of torn, books and other equipment scattered down.

All eyes looked at her, which Nia interpreted in derision, hurriedly Nia lowered her head, backing her book alone without anyone helping. Nia's fault even put it in a bag that has been hollow and instead fell back.

He was panicked and embarrassed, not daring to raise his head until someone crouched down and took his things.

Because Aiman also Nia has friends, on her birthday Aiman gives a gift in the form of a backpack with a beautiful pencil case. As if they were already familiar, it provoked a classmate to offer her companionship, and gave Nia the courage to blend in.

The principal's room.

Nia and her mother were already sitting opposite Pak Iwan, who was the principal and certainly the subordinate of the grandfather. He couldn't resist going to grandfather's decision to take Nia out, and right now that's what he told the two of them. Nia's mother was obviously shaken sadly, she begged Mr. Iwan to give Nia a chance and let her go to school until graduation, it is difficult to change schools after his name was registered as a student there in the exam later, unfortunately Mr. Iwan did not have the courage to change that decision. While Nia only refrained from getting angry, it felt unfair, Azalea was really great at influencing her grandfather.

Nia rejected the regret in her for slapping Azalea, preferring to blame the girl. Salah Azalea who did not want to obey him, cursed at him and persuaded grandfather to take him out. The rich are always arbitrary.

The door opened, Azalea came and stood between them. Mr. Iwan was obviously shocked and tried to give him a friendly welcome that ended up clumsy. Nia glared at Azalea, just because her slap was issued without warning.

But the unexpected happened, Azalea did not return the dislike stare cynically, she instead knelt in front of Mr. Iwan. The three of them were clearly shocked, unable to react to Azalea's sudden action.

“Can by kneeling I finish this well? Please don't take it out! I do not want to extend this matter, however I am also guilty.” Azalea pinta stared fixedly at Mr. Iwan. There was no other negotiation he thought about other than this, hoping that grandfather would be devastated.

Aiman who just entered was struck by what happened. Seeing Azalea kneeling down made him sad, especially after he knew in detail about this incident. If he's the cause of Nia bullying Azalea.

“Nona please don't be like this. It was the decision of my grandfather who told us to get him out!” pinta Pak Iwan's.

“I will continue to kneel until that decision is changed!” azalea Sta.

Take it easy and fret, Mr. Iwan continued to persuade him, and Azalea was still on her knees no matter what. Aiman gave a small smile, he approached Azalea and went to his knees. Azalea immediately turned to him, Nia who saw this only looked down sad. Reminds himself of Aiman's help first.

“It's also my fault, please don't get him out of school. We're first-class friends, and it doesn't seem fair if he gets kicked out before the exam starts!” Aiman pleaded sincerely. Azalea was full and felt like she had friends.

This position increasingly makes Mr. Iwan do not dwell, in the end he called grandfather. During the conversation, Azalea noticed. Until immediately behave firmly in the effort to kneel it when Mr. Iwan was finished and approached them.

“I have called the concerned party, the punishment for Nia was lifted and replaced by a suspension for one month.” said Mr. Iwan relieved, a one-month suspension is cruel, indeed, but compared to being released it is still better.

Outdoor futsal stands. Azalea and Nia were standing face to face in silence, as some of the students were still in the classroom, and Nia's mother waited outside the school building to give them space to straighten out the problems that occurred.

“I'm sorry for your punishment, also involve your mother to come to school.” sincerely Azalea. He felt guilty, trying to understand Nia's feelings, after all apologizing first was the cool thing his mother always taught him. If your heart is upset about making a mistake, then dare to apologize.

“Looks like you're a showman, now you're playing the role of an excellent protagonist, do you?” nia said she maintained her cold charisma, but Azalea felt something different, that Nia was hiding her shame.

“If you don't want to say sorry, that's fine, I can wait for that one more month.” Azalea chimed in casually. “As for Aiman, I hope you say it directly about your feelings for her.” he added a little hesitant to have to say this or not, but in the end he tried to convey it well. “I go.” pamitnya and pass away. While Nia was only paying attention, her apology choked could not be spoken.

The steps of someone behind Nia shifted her gaze. Turning around found Aiman who was standing straight looking at him.

Suddenly hesitant, nervous and embarrassed, Nia just kept quiet.

“This may sound rude, but, sorry I'll turn you down. I already knew about your feelings and pretended not to know it, but now I realize it. I cannot return your feelings, it would be very evil if I told you to remove them, so forget me slowly. We can still be friends.” Aiman's speech makes Nia more aware that all this time he has been behaving badly, especially on Azalea.

“It looks like you like someone, could it be Azalea?” ask Nia without knowing the answer. A glance, and Aiman's decision to kneel with Azalea clearly answered that.

Aiman himself just smiled in response.

One day he could express his feelings to Azalea, so that he could easily express his worry, fear and longing for her fiance.
