Mosaic 9: Patience



‘A pile of hatred without knowing each other sounds annoying’


3 Years ago, in an unforgettable memory.


The figure of Yuki who used to be so innocent and only knew about the family looked sad, her eyes were all full of tears as she recalled the divorce of her parents two years ago, before today, she said, where her mother decided to remarry with an Indonesian. Unwilling to accept, Yuki hugs her knees more and more expressing sadness, crying a mouthful, not because she does not want her mother to marry again, not because she can not meet her real father, she is just afraid, not because she is not willing to marry again, that he had two fathers and made himself unable to adapt to it. He fears one day himself in loneliness, something that humans must endure, but he is still afraid.


Through a small rebellion, Yuki runs away, runs away from home and reaches the Tokyo Tower, a crowded place that makes her feel isolated. Glancing at left right, realizing that no one was known and suddenly isolated, Yuki was completely engulfed in anxiety. Why should they get divorced if they just leave a mark in him, and now act as if nothing happened in the past. The two even live with a new partner without his permission. He who had been proud of his family is now adrift in confusion and incomprehensible sadness.


“Sore o kiru [Wear]” Aiman held out a beautiful purple batik-patterned handkerchief to her. Instead of accepting the offer, Yuki looked up to see her, her eyes blurry from crying, though she was sure that the man who had been sitting next to her had been smiling.


Yuki did not understand, whether this was just his feeling or not, there was an anxious look in Aiman's warm gaze.


"Hitsuyo nashi [No need]” Reject Yuki, this man is his future half-brother.


"Sonogo, afternoon o hokan shite kudasai, itsuka anata wa afternoons o hitsuyo to shimasu, soshite watashi wa yorokonde namida o nuguitai to omoimasu [Then save it, someday you will need it, and I hope to wipe the happy tears]” He said putting the handkerchief in Yuki's cold hands. “I have no brothers, and neither do you. From now on, let's be brothers. I know what loneliness feels like, separation is also a new thing, but as long as we think fine, everything will improve" he continued in friendly and slow Indonesian, for Yuki to feel her sincerity.



Still with a proud smile, Azalea walked along the corridor and came to a halt just as the tail of her eyes found a beautiful white woman with long, jet-black hair, he crossed his hands in his stomach as if waiting for Azalea to approach him.


Not knowing the reason Yuki was in front of him, Azalea just stared uncertainly.


“What's up?” tanya Azalea was curious.


“I thought you were different, but you were the same. What using your power it makes everything easy and relieves.” Yuki clearly offended Azalea. Will there now be two Niska in his life? Someone who would provoke his anger again. For Azalea to be hated one school was exhausting enough.


“I just revealed what I didn't like, and told them to stop. Anyone also does not like his uniform wetted!” bela Azalea tried to lower her tone. Possible a courtesy. After all, he and Yuki only got to know each other three months ago, when Yuki decided to transfer to the same High School as Aiman.


“I haven't liked you since 4 years ago, you know that? So try to expose your threat to me! Like when you threatened them.” Challenging Yuki, in his heart he felt restless and silly doing this, but somehow it felt like he wanted to say his hatred to Azalea, because in a blatant way he doesn't need to feel guilty.


“You don't hate me, just don't want to like me. I understand that feeling. As for my threats to them, I only bully and hope they stop cheating on me, it's very common in my opinion.” Azalea answered looking lazy, a pile of hatred without knowing each other sounded irritating. “No need to be within my visibility, because I can also hate you.” The eyes of Azalea turned sharp and serious. At first glance Yuki felt intimidated, it felt like something strange was seeping into her soul.


Not wanting to prolong this indistinct hate speech, Azalea walked past Yuki who was still speechless.


“That sport variety, I don't want to lend it to you, even though I already received it!” yuki exclaimed stopping Azalea's steps.


Patiently, Azalea turned to him. “I know.”


“Then I want you to stay away from us! Stay away from Aiman!” yell again. This time it was Azalea who was fixated, trying to understand Yuki's intentions and smiling incisively.


Azaela who was always calm in dealing with problems, elegant in appearance and said soft words began to feel angry. Who unfortunately is not addressed to whom, he hates this situation.



Just now that he had Yuki's request about Aiman, the man was now right in front of him, smiling cheerfully with a sparkling face. She had already heard about Azalea checking the cctv and reprimanding them not to do anything bad to her anymore. The courage will make Aiman feel happy and relieved.


“You know, because of you I got one more enemy. I don't understand why they're always hostile to me just because of men, or because he thinks so highly of you as a brother. Then if I stay away from this guy, this and this, how can I have friends. Was it so strong that I became a rival until they were afraid that I would take their beloved. This is really unfair, after all I will not use my wealth to attract many people as my followers!” azalea's outpouring of resentment overflowed on Aiman, who clearly showed a shocked face also confused.


“Someone told you to stay away from me?” ask Aiman carefully.


Silently for a moment, Azalea let out a small sigh. “It is not important, do not appear before me for now!” tell Azalea and let go.


Away from their position, Nia, - the head of Aiman's fans - saw him and looked angry. He did not want Aiman to be scolded for no reason and told to leave by Azalea. Moreover, Nia had just got a report that Azalea used her power to threaten her friends, because it was currently her anger multiplied. The girl who was Aiman's class was secretly planning something.



First day.


Outside the school, behind the school building. Azalea only glanced at Nia and her comrades expressionlessly. Somehow he knew the exact reason they were pulling him into this place, something bad and about the Azalea threat at that time. Already resisted, he must be ready to accept the risk and hope that the bullying he got was just a mockery, a gaze also a threat, not a blow, because if it was a fist, their lives would be in danger.


“I can't do as you please because you're the granddaughter of the school owner, but don't expect me to be afraid to face you!”


“Just tell me what you want, my bodyguards can find me easily!” azalea explained, her carefulness for a few minutes must have invited the anxiety of her personal bodyguard. And if they were to be found, Aul could have reported this to grandfather.


“Sway Aiman! Don't ever talk to her again, and make sure you don't choose her as your official fiance!”


“We are officially engaged.” Azalea Sela.


“Hey how dare you! He hasn't finished talking.” jolt the others.


“So Aiman, don't talk to him, I don't think it can. But I'll try not to get familiar with it.” Azalea's bargain irritated Nia and pushed her hard enough.


“Never be close to him in 5 meters even!” threatening Nia to look scary, Azalea let out a slow breath.


“Tell that to Aiman, tell him not to approach me!” seriously Azalea.


“You still don't understand!”


“I understand!” exclaim Azalea, “Very understand, but the situation is not as easy as you think!” Azalea paused, no matter how hard she explained the situation between herself and the five fiancees, they would not stop this, much less try to understand her feelings. “Just do what you want!” after that Azalea turned away, unfortunately she had to get a wound on her knee because one of them accidentally made her foot stumble and fell to the ground. Trying to calm down, Azalea immediately stood up and walked back.


It seems like lately he has been trying hard to be patient in many ways.


Upon arrival in the pickup car, Aul immediately approached and saw a bloody line wound on Azalea's knee, not so big but able to make him standby.


“Who did this?” askanya, always with a rigid tone that is straightforward and firm.


“I just tripped and fell just like that, this is my carelessness.” Lying Azalea and getting into the car without passion, leaned back while glancing at Aul who was still in his place. “Quickly I want to go home and eat, today my duty as a representative of the class is quite tiring.” Rajuk Azalea resuscitated him who immediately nodded.



Day two.


Again in the same place and after school, Azalea was held captive in the crush of two people on her left right side. Upset at not wanting to comply with her request, Nia stuffed mud into her Azalea bag in considerable quantities. Unable to resist and dodge, Azalea was gripped strongly. It was only after all the items inside were hit by the mud that they released Azalea and laughed together.


“Make sure you stay away from him!” nia smiled winning.


Azalea snorted as hard as she saw it, “Sabar, this is nothing.” His word was inward, staring back right at Nia's bead of eyes which implied ridicule to her. “Thank you for the mud, my book can be natural mascaran because of that.” Azalea Smile.


Aul saw Azalea appear and immediately approached her.


“Why came out late?” tanyakanya. Always stiff as a robot.


“I collected the assignments of students and gave them to the teacher's room.” The origin of Azalea, what she thought was lying to cover up this state, because she did not want Nia and the others to be affected by the anger of the grandfather. In silence he realized, because they are in one school and often meet then this will continue until, when? Concerns, fears and despair like this are experienced by bully victims, between wanting to tell a story or harbour it alone. Every day be on the lookout for what will happen to her tomorrow, distrustful of those around her and traumatized.


As it flashed through his mind, he saw Nia and her friends walking out the gate engrossed in conversation. However Azalea wished for all this to end well without hurting anyone.


Aul watched Azalea who was looking down miserably.
