BEREAVEMENTS

Episode 15; Bereavement

“Hey, Lena!” Lena looked over as someone called her. He saw two upperclassmen walking up to him. The two of them were unfriendly, as if Lena had made a fatal mistake. He waited until his two upperclassmen approached him.

“Iya..”

“What the hell is going on? Is the news about your father? Why is it true that we are still in school here? Anyone who defames the school must be expelled, right?” Lena just looked at them flatly, not wanting to answer that question.

“Then what the hell was yesterday? Why are you suddenly so close to Renov? You deliberately use the death of your father to tease him?” Lena increasingly did not understand the direction of the two of them.

“As long as these brothers know, I have done nothing to defame the school and for Mas Renov, I have known him long enough. Do I need to make an announcement to anyone close to me?” Lena answered honestly.

“Lo don't be arrogant!” one of them both pushed Lena's shoulder hard.

“That's it!” Lena and her two upperclassmen were shocked when a crowd of old students ran up to her. The headmaster and several teachers came running after them.

“Why are you still calm-quiet here?”

“Just move!”

“We don't want our child to go to school with you!”

“Pak, how is this? Why didn't you tell him to move as soon as possible?”

“I am embarrassed if asked my business partner about this incident!”

“Why should we bear the shame of a person who is nobody to us?”

“Sabar Bu, Sir, patience!”

“This father! Don't protect him, you are also tired of being chased by journalists for this case? This is my favorite school sir! We already spent a lot of money on our kids and this school!”

Lena was stunned to hear the words of the old disciple who had suddenly judged himself. He could not answer their questions like answering the questions of his two upperclassmen. He wondered in his heart. Wh why? Why should they be ashamed when it is he who bears all these terrible memories? Why did they feel aggrieved while he felt all his belongings were snatched from his side? Lena looked at them. He was unable to say anything, even to breathe even though it was very crowded here.

When Lena still can't accept all that, a student guardian snatches Lena's hair and pulls her. His eyes****** saw Lena who didn't say anything from earlier.

“For your stupid dad, our family lost a big contract! How will you compensate for our losses? Huh?” he vented his emotions on Lena.

“Bu please don't be like this Mom, all can be discussed carefully!” Bu Reni tries to remove the guardian's hand from Lena's hair, “malu Mom at see children..”.

Just as the guardian took off his hair, a disciple carrying a bottle of mineral water poured it over Lena's head. Lena still couldn't budge. His body trembled violently to withstand all the inner struggles that were in his realm. What really happened to his life?

“Karla!” handrik Bu Reni's.

“Let Lena's bad luck stop, Mom!” karla shouted and followed by the laughter of her friends.

“WHAT-WHAT THE HELL ALL THIS!” the headmaster yelled loudly, making everyone just speechless, “this school has never taught violence! Where did you get such a lesson? Are you not ashamed? We are educated people, why are you all acting like unethical and empathetic people like this? Mom and Dad, what are you all doing? Father and Mother should be ashamed of your current actions!”

Lena's heart was so sore, this sadness seemed to not end. He had thought everything would be fine if he continued to toughen up, he was even able to smile again after what happened to his father, but now the strength to rise as if evaporating from within Lena. His confidence is lost because everyone betrayed him, both his own father, and now his school.

“Lena, you okay, son?” the question was so painful in his inquest, how could he possibly be okay?

Lena walked up to the fence beside her and within seconds the girl climbed onto the second-floor guardrail of her school building. Everyone shouted, between surprise and fear if Lena fell from there.

“Lena, don't Nak!”

“Lena!”

“Nak, don't be narrow-minded like that..”.

“Lena don't do..”.

All of those bans were like a boost to Lena. It all sounds the same, if Lena falls and commits suicide here everything will be done for Lena, but not the school. They will get bad memories just like him, the school will get a bad image because it does not manage to keep his students, and he will actually worsen the image of his school. Well-equipped revenge, Lena thought to herself.

Lena was tired, she struggled to get up and forget the memories of her father. He tries to live his life like a normal person in general, but everyone justu considers what happened to his family is a shameful disgrace, smearing the faces of those who do not even have any relationship with Lena. While Lena? He struggles alone to face everything. What really happened to this world? It's really unfair to Lena.

“Lena! Don't Len, you still have me, elo still have people who love elo, I beg Lena.” Chery cried, he was about to grab Lena's hand, persuade her.

“Do not approach..” whispered Lena, her eyes gaze so desperate, the girl's cheerfulness fades, the light completely disappears from her soul, “all this is so tiring..

“Lena..”

“GUE WHO IS IN STAY DEAD! My father killed himself! Why should I? WHY?!” shouted Lena in despair. The girl looked at the people before her with wounds.

“Why are you so bothered by what happened to me? You know what I'm afraid of? Do you think by throwing me out of this school you'll get better? It would be better if I knew it myself. Let all of you BE HAPPY!” Lena looked at them all one by one, asking for answers to the cruel fate that befell her.

Lena then smiled, but yesterday she promised herself that she would not do stupid things, that she would love herself. But at this moment he was thinking the opposite, why would he prolong this suffering?

“All will be finished quickly, don't worry I will kindly share those memories with you guys. You will know and understand what I feel if you experience it yourself, right?”, Lena stared at the clear blue sky, usually the girl will take out her phone and capture the beautiful sky, but at this time it is as if the sky is mocking her. In the midst of all the pain of his life, the sky was actually boasting of its beauty.

Lena closed her eyes. He is happy because this way he will meet his parents. His family will return. He'll be happy. But Lena did not understand why she was crying when she was about to gush her happiness. I don't know. Lena took one last breath and let herself fall down there. Enrapture him.

“Kyaaa!”

“Lena!”

All of the cries were greeted with someone reaching for Lena's hand just before she dropped herself. The man pulls Lena down until Lena falls on him. Lena was not aware of what had happened, the person had already pulled Lena to her feet. Lena's eyes were fixed with those of a man who looked angry.

“What do you think, if you jump elo will die from here?” ask Renov slowly but full of threats, “Elo say what? Elo wants them to experience what you feel?”

“ELO THINK ELO WHO?” Renov shouted and looked at Lena with a condescending look, “what do you think if you jump from here and die, they really feel the pain like you feel? PUT WHERE'S YOUR BRAIN?!”

Renov then pulls Lena's hand rough. He flipped through the astonished crowd in front of him and dragged the girl away. They saw Renov pulling Lena up the stairs.

“Renov! What are you going to do!” Ms. Reni who realized Renov's way of mind ran after those who climbed the stairs to the higher floors of the building. Renov threatened anyone who tried to follow them with his eyes. All that was there was just staring in horror at Renov who was pulling Lena roughly. They don't seem to want to interfere and deal with Renov.

“Renov!” Ms. Reni looked begging.

“Mas..” Stirring Lena. He repeatedly falls down the stairs but Renov ignores them and continues to tear Lena down.

“Don't complain of pain, after all soon you will die right?” renov replied without looking at Lena. He opens the door to the fourth floor of the school building and throws Lena into the building's guardrail.

“If from here maybe elo really die, quickly jump!” renov commands while looking at Lena sharply.

Lena could only be astonished to see Renov who looked so flabbergasted. He just realized that he made a mistake, “Mas..”.

“GUE SAY JUMP NOW!”
