Arriving home, Lilia asked Reza to stop by, but the black-eyed man refused. Reza also let his jacket be carried by Lilia again. The two looked awkward towards each other but still tried to hide it.
“Whose package is Lili?” asked the curious mother about a jacket she had never seen.
Lilia who was wiping her wet hair after the shower looked nervous. “Temen package was pinjemin because he said the afternoon wind is not good.”
Bu Ani understood. “Part you really do not wear a jacket or cardigan, usually also wear.”
“Lupa ma,” replied Lilia quickly.
“The package is big, temen boy?”
“Iya, why the hell ma?”
“What do you guys do? Kok not invited to stop by, mama would like to know also who anterin mama's child.” Temptation of the mother.
“Udah asked to stop by but the guy hurriedly.”
“Pacar?”
“Ihh mama niknn,” said Lilia while pouting.
Bu Ani laughed at her son's anxious behavior. “Kirain said to go home in the afternoon with Fani.”
“Fani came home later in the afternoon because of nyiapin for sports week.”
“Hoo is that, handsome is not?”
“Maaaa!” Lilia looked very upset with her mother who kept teasing her.
Bu Ani just laughed at the embarrassed looking child. Lilia went straight into her room and opened the parcel Reza had given her.
The parcel contains some vitamins and also Lilia's favorite candy. The brown-eyed girl was quite surprised and unexpected by what Reza had given her.
Lilia does require additional vitamins because there are many activities to do. But he did not think Reza could think about it. Moreover, the black-eyed man knew the candy he liked.
...◇◇◇...
The news about Mr. Julio being the successor OSIS builder has spread throughout the students.
Many call the manager of OSIS this time very lucky to get a teacher who is pleasing to the eye.
Some rules that have been made and agreed upon together have been Julio working with the board of OSIS.
Julio's skills in managing data and sharing activity schedules make many OSIS administrators feel relieved that activities are not as dense as before.
Lilia, who often works with OSIS builders this time, also feels Julio's skills in doing anything. The brown-eyed girl was amazed by the versatile young teacher.
All normal, ordinary High School boy's life goes well without drama or any meaningful commotion.
But the thing that is too smooth is actually a sign of the coming of a big problem.
After entering September, the tranquility of the school changed. After the flag ceremony was completed, Julio announced he was given full authority as a student escort to discipline students.
The man with a friendly expression even went to the stalls that students used to truant.
Even if you find one student truant up to three times a month then immediately do the calling of parents.
Of course, this made many male students feel annoyed. But many female students praised Julio's decisive action, which was supposed to be done.
“Pak Julio really cool not anyway?” said Lilia who was having lunch with Fani and Halina.
“Lah, now you're the one who's cussing, Julio? Wkwkwk” Fani laugh.
Halina responded. “Padalaah back when all the students said Mr. Julio handsome, Lili did not respond anything."
“Yee, not the handsome markonah, I also know he is handsome but yaudah handsome is so much handsome. But what makes me say is cool because of his firm attitude.”
Halina laughed amusedly at Lilia's defense. The three continued chatting about various things until the break hour was over. After the bell rang, the three of them entered their respective classes.
Upon entering the classroom, Lilia's eyes immediately saw Reza who was sitting on her stool while reading a book.
“Your face why else, Za?”
The black-eyed man turned his eyes from the book to the source of the voice.
Their eyes meet. Lilia could see clearly there was a scar scratched on Reza's right cheek.
“Custom,” replied Reza briefly then smiled knot.
Lilia reached into the inside of her bag and thrust the wound plaster on Reza's desk. Shortly after, the teacher entered the class.
“Don't keep gini, I'm getting more trouble....”
Reza's soft words sounded faint because the voice of other students who were grumbling because the teacher brought a paper replay.
Lilia wanted to confirm what she heard, but Reza put on an expression as if she didn't say anything and went straight to the task.
Lilia wanted to make sure after the last lesson was over, but Reza first completed the replay and was immediately allowed to go home.
Lilia became unsettled. Somehow seeing Reza's expression like that made him think.
Because he did not focus on doing problems, Lilia also needed more time to solve the 20 math problems.
...◇◇◇...
Reza's attitude that came back looked strange made Lilia feel worried. Somehow the brown-eyed girl felt that Reza was getting away.
“Reza is no longer in?” asked Halina who did not see the bag in Reza's seat.
“Yes, why yes? You know something, Halin?”
Halina seemed hesitant to answer. Lilia could guess if Halina knew something straight away
“What's up?”
“Umm, I think this is not something that can be reported to others deh.... ,” said Halina hesitated.
Lilia was silent, her feelings were worried. “But Reza is fine, right?”
Halina was silent for a moment. “So morning I saw him wearing a uniform, but the wound on his face was like that.”
“Attem?”
Halina brought her face closer to Lilia's ears. “My mom said, ortunya Reza kdrt that. ,” said Halina whispered.
Lilia who heard that widened her eyes. His mind was mixed with all the events that had happened.
“Anu Lilia, don't tell me that I said this yes Halina looked worried.
Lilia nodded in understanding. He did not expect to hear that at all. Lilia began to connect about Reza's changing attitude during Junior High.
“You know anything else?”
Halina looked around, after making sure no one was near them, The long straight-haired woman told me in a soft voice.
“If not wrong, his father Reza used to go to prison. I don't know for sure, he said his father produced illegal drugs that,” said Halina in a voice as slow as possible.
“Hah? Which is really ah you? Class time 1 bmp I once met om Bayu and he was good,” said Lilia in disbelief.
“I don't know Lil, I'm just the horror of mother-mother gossip. The drug factory in the area of the adhibumi hospital decket was said to be originally official, but it turned out that the production of illegal drugs was also.”
“But because his father-in-law Bayu is famous, so the news was not long in the media. But remain imprisoned for abuse of permission,” Halina added.
Lilia froze, her mind focused on Reza's state, her blank expression as well as her changing attitude.
The brown-eyed girl began to be able to deduce some of the things that had been the question.
Drrttt
Lilia checked her phone, her face looking increasingly pale.
“Why Lilia?” halina asked confused.
“I go to the OSIS room first yes, there is an important affair.”
Halina nodded despite not understanding what was happening.
... ◇◇◇...
When he arrived at the osis room, he had gathered Gavin, Fani and several other osis children. Lilia's heart was beating faster, her feelings were not good.
“That's the information?” ask Lilia to make sure.
“Yes, there are brawls involving our school and some school students injured.”
“Word where?”
“Decet border,” replied Gavin quickly.
“Lu why Lil? Your face is pale,” asked Fani who was surprised by Lilia's expression.
“Ah no... umm, keep this how?”
“Say sir Julio there will be a meeting of three schools involved,” replied Mia explained.
Soon afterwards came Julio and Miss Endah.
“Have gathered all?” ask Miss Endah.
“Only 7 people can attend bu,” Gavin explained.
“You have read the information, right?”
“Already ma'am,” replied all the students present in the room.
“We have an emergency meeting with two other schools this afternoon as well. I need some students to help. Gavin, Fani and Mia came with me to meet the other school. Mr. Julio will go to the police station at once to the nearest puskesmas,” said Ms. Endah explained.
Julio occasionally noticed Lilia's worried-looking expression.
“For the meantime only, tomorrow I will hold an OSIS meeting for further discussion. You can do your activities as usual. Oh yes if anyone is willing to come with me please,” Julio explained.
Lilia let out a long breath. “I can come with sir?”
Everyone in the room turned towards Lilia. Gavin and Fani looked with puzzled expressions towards Lilia.
“I also come with sir,” said Fahmi volunteered.
“Okay, you two come along, the others stay in place and continue activities yes.”
“Ready pack,” replied the position member in the room.
Gavin, Fani and Mia soon follow Endah's mom. Lilia and Fahmi follow Julio.
“Lilia want to piggyback me or Fahmi?” ask Julio to make sure.
“Same sir Julio aja sir? My motor is a bit less safe for boncegan sir,” said Fahmi.
Julio nodded in understanding, Lilia agreed. The bright brown-eyed man noticed Lilia's expression.
“You sure you want to come? Your face is a bit pale,” Julio said with a worried expression.
“Eh? I'm okay with.”
“You're worrying about someone?”
Lilia silently did not answer. Julio took out something from her backpack and gave something to Lilia.
“Eat this, sweet food can help reduce anxiety.”
Lilia looked at the melon-flavored milk candy and then looked at Julio with a confused expression.
“So I got this change while eating in the cafeteria. Ms. Inah said there was no change,” said Julio explaining as if understanding what was on Lilia's mind.
Lilia received the candy. The three men headed straight to the police station. On the way Lilia just kept quiet and sighed many times.
“Reza is fine, he may only be slightly injured,” Julio said soothingly.
“How do you know?”
“Party of puskesmas had time to contact me.”
“Not, I mean how do you know I'm worried about Reza?”
“Hehe, you will pay attention to each other so, where I may not know,” Julio said with a small laugh.
Lilia was silent, she could not deny what Julio said. The brown-eyed woman only let out a long sigh.
...◇◇◇...
After the police station is over, Julio, Lilia and Fahmi head to the health center to check on the situation.
Lilia noticed there were several students in different uniforms being treated. Some were only minor injuries, some of them quite badly injured.
There are some teachers who come from other schools and are advising their school students.
“Lilia, Fahmi, our school students are in the room over there,” Julio said.
Lilia and Fahmi follow Julio to the room. Some students are being treated, but some have not been treated.
The look in Lilia and Reza's eyes met, but the black-eyed man shifted his gaze.
“Excuse me, can I come help clean the wound?” lilia told one of the nurses.
“Oh, we will be greatly helped if anyone helps. That your friend can too?” asked the nurse in white while pointing towards Fahmi.
Fahmi nodded, while Julio seemed busy advising the students in the room.
Lilia carried the cotton and wound cleaning fluid towards Reza. But the man was still with the same expression. Lilia carefully cleaned the wound on Reza's hand.
While giving advice, Julio occasionally looked towards Lilia. I don't know what the young teacher was thinking.
After cleaning the wound on the hand, Lilia took a new cotton swab to clean the wound on Reza's left cheek. The eyes of the two meet.
Lilia wanted to say something but somehow she felt she did not find the right word.
“Sorry,” says Reza Lirih. His expression changed but he still shifted his eyes.
Lilia who did not know what to answer finally chose silence. After cleaning Reza's wounds, the brown-eyed woman also helped clean the wounds of other students.
Reza took a long breath. He hates to look weak especially in front of people he likes.
Julio only noticed the awkward interaction of the 2 students from a distance. The light brown-eyed male expression was hard to explain.
