Chooses

Episode 7's

"How's the report this month?" A person stood facing the large window facing directly against the setting sun in the darkened room. Because the bright and reddish sunlight hit him directly, only a silhouette of the body of a man wearing a long coat was formed.

The man who had just entered bowed respectfully to him. "Miss Kamaratih bullied at his school. He fell down the stairs. Suspected of being pushed. But, there's no proof of ka-"

BRAK!!!

"BEEN BLOWN?! PUSHED OFF THE STAIRS? YOU MUST BE JOKING WITH ME! HOW CAN?!?!" The man was shocked.

"Ma-still not known for certain, but some say because a popular student is close to him." Answer with stammering.

"WHICH ONE, HUH?! Let me teach him a lesson!"

"The students are Izriel Albert Vianden."

There was no reaction. The man tried to look up to check what his master was doing.

"Couple all my stuff. We're going home tonight."

"But what about the team? It would take at least a month to arrange for no chaos."

"You dare to argue with me?"

"Where can I be brave.. The great lord will definitely be angry."

"2 weeks."

"Well, I'll get ready soon." The man hurriedly left in a daze before his master went berserk again.

After falling down the stairs, the Friends of Ratih are more protective of him. He was never left alone again. If it is busy there will be at least one of them who takes turns to take care of it. Ratih would also be uncomfortable with the behavior of his friend who treated him like a child. But, since the events of the last time could not be proven who pushed Ratih, they gave up and kept an eye on Ratih.

As a result, the incidence of bullying is reduced drastically. Because the bullies can no longer approach Ratih. There are only small troubling pranks such as dirtying the goods of Ratih, throwing away the bags and books of Ratih, and spreading bad rumors about him. But, all of that is easy to overcome. Ratih's good reputation of almost 3 years of schooling can not be defiled with bad rumors that can not be proven. After all, the ones who gossip about it are only the ones who are jealous of him.

In addition, Izriel was also always near Ratih. Every time he filled his bag, locker or book, Izriel was always nearby and helped him. Train yourself is ordinary like all that is natural. Izriel's friends are also thrilled when Izriel changes and becomes more friendly now. So, they also petrified to keep Ratih, including from friends of Ratih who want to keep Izriel from Ratih.

The bullies along with the brains of the perpetrators, fire the beard because it is increasingly difficult to bully Ratih with all his guards. It made them even more annoyed with Ratih.

Like this time, they secretly took Ratih's book from his locker early in the morning and threw it in the garden bulkhead trench. When Ratih had just arrived at school, he saw a familiar book and picked it up. When he found out it was his book, he just sighed.

So, he took it and took it to a place with a bright light and dried it there. The students who had just arrived at school observed him who was drying books. Some stare contemptuously, pity, to disgust. A group of girls came to Ratih. They whispered suspiciously. Izriel who had just come from the parking lot saw that, approached her.

He helps Ratih hang up his books. Get the girls out of there. Ratih let Izriel take him.

"Thank you." Said Ratih afterwards.

"hm."

"Is there any more?" Ratih asked Izriel who was still not moving from before him. Actually, Ratih knows why Izriel didn't leave immediately after helping her. But, she could not help but tease Izriel to be honest.

"Gue anterlo to class." Answer Izriel honestly. Ratih is a little disappointed, failing to make Izriel as nervous as she used to be, when Izriel is too proud to show her feelings.

"Ga needs to bother."

"Do a lot of talking. Come on!" Without the ba-bi-bu, Izriel immediately grabbed Ratih's hand and pulled him into the school building.

"Thank you again."

"Ga, thank you very much. Just relax." Izriel then left the front of the 12th Language class.

"Sampe when is he gonna do this?" Mariza asked Shella. He who Mariza means is Izriel. Lately Izriel's behavior is annoying friends Ratih. Because the most wanted guy of this school blatantly adheres more.

"Gue doesn't like to see it either. Isn't she his fiancee?"

"that?" Mariza doesn't understand what Shella means.

"ah! that one, huh? Tiara new inget. But, why is he still deletin Ratih?" Tiara.

"That's Who the hell?" Mariza still doesn't understand.

"What are you talking about?" Ratih tang's question suddenly came as a surprise to them.

"Oh Ratih, just ngagetin.by the way, how could that kid take you to class?"

"Izriel? We just happened to meet in front of the gate. Maybe because of your contagiousness, which is getting along with me, she's following along too."

"Oh, yes! I forgot to pick you up in front of the gate." said Mariza.

"Udah. no need. They wouldn't dare hurt me."

"That's it as long as you're near us. If you're gonna fight, we're not gonna be this overprotective."

"Yes, sorry. But, you know, I can't do that."

"hah~"

"Yes, we know."

When he arrived at the class, Izriel was greeted by some of his friends. Ikhsan, Romi, and Rafael. They sit on benches close to each other.

"Bro, you really don't like Ratih?" Ask Rafael frontal.

Izriel did not answer. He just rolled his eyes lazily hearing the same question over and over again.

"Zriel, you like me a few times. Nothing is lost either. Even good if you can generalize to all school residents. Let no one bully Train again." Continue brunnete-haired youth, pierced next to the ear, aka Rafael.

"Gue agrees with them, Zriel. Why aren't you being honest?" Romi commented.

"Must, I said how many times, anyway? I'm not doing this because I like that girl."

"Trus what dong? after he followed her everywhere. Take care of him alone, help clean his things, until the children help take care of him and ngawasin him."

"Don't forget, find out and read Ratih diem's favorite books." Izriel frowned towards Romi who added the comment. "Really, right? Each in the cafeteria you two talk about complicated things that we don't even understand. You want to know he's got his shit, right?"

"Tumben lu pinter, Rom? Which school?"

"School in Zimbabwe, same rich monkey you!"

Rafael immediately plucked Romi's head, annoyed. And so continued their commotion in class. Until the teacher comes and punishes them to stand in front of the class during the lesson.

After the lesson, as usual Izriel to the cafeteria with her friends.

"Bro! right here!" Shouted Billy who was waiting in the chair they used to use. They often eat in crowds and place Iziel in the middle to protect him from predators.

Not heeding Billy's call, Izriel turned to the right and left looking for someone to be left behind by his other friends.

"Who's son from?" Ask Rasya the glasses from IPA class 2.

"Regular.. Who else wouldn't be the idol." Reply Rafael accordingly.

"Ohh.." They already understood the meaning of that twelfth. For the last few days they also helped to keep Ratih at the behest of Izriel. Yes, Izriel asked for help in a commanding tone, as usual.

"Gue didn't see Shella the same as before." Rasya.

"Maybe they're busy times."

"Zriel, the power of Ratih is just as there are no cements."

"Oh.." Izriel turned around and did not sit down.

"Where are you going?"

"Reverse."

"Fix, he likes the same..What's his name? Trainer? YEP! Train me!"

"Udah was obviously looking at it! People every day nyamperin he keeps eating in the cafeteria. Where was this morning when he went to class again!"

"Well, that's a rare moment! It must be a national holiday!" hatch Billy spirit.

Izriel just ignored their rant. Because he doesn't feel like he has any special feelings for Ratih. A strange girl who does not want to defend herself when denigrated will not fit in with her. But curiosity still haunts him. He wanted to know more about the girl.

As Izriel passed through the window of the library, Izriel saw Ratih pick up a book on the highest shelf by climbing a wooden staircase. Izriel automatically turned her head towards him and watched him. Something is wrong with the stairs. When it was examined, it turned out that the stairs were weathered. Izriel immediately ran into the perpus.

"Y!!!!!" Izriel immediately grabbed, grasping the fallen body of Ratih and hugging it from the books that had fallen from the top shelf.

BRUUUKKK

"What's up?!" Some librarians who came because they heard the commotion came with the students who were there.

"God! Gapapa you?" The librarians were worried about the state of the 2 students who had just been hit by books.

"Damaratihi! You gapapa? Ma-sorry because of me-" a girl with teary eyes who stood not far from Ratih immediately gathered in front of Ratih.

"You!" Ratih sees Izriel protecting him from the falling books.

"Lo it can't be okay for once?" Izriel asked in annoyance. But, she was immediately aghast as Ratih cupped her face and brought her face closer to him. "Ngapain anyway?" Izriel looked up to avoid those close eyes.

"You're hurt!"

"Gue gapa."

"But bloody!" Only this time Izriel saw the girl who was usually calm despite falling from the stairs as sweet as this. His eyes that usually contained falsehood exuded sincere worry.

The librarians and students grew even more panicked after seeing the blood dripping from Izriel's forehead. Because Izriel is an important figure and is disinclined at school.

"Iz-Izriel, let me take you to the UKS. You need to be treated." Said one of the female librarians.

"Trainer! You gapapa?" Mariza and Shella went straight to Ratih who was sitting.

"I'm gapapa but," He looked towards Izriel who pulled one of the librarians out.

"Rememembers! sorry it's my fault. How's this? am I going out of school?" The little girl was crying.

"What do you mean?" Izriel who had just brushed off the hand of the librarian dragging her asked the girl.

The girl immediately bent her knees before Izriel while pleading. "I'm sorry.it's my fault. I'm asking Kamaratih to take the books on the shelf. Please don't let me out of school." Seeing the girl crying while begging at his feet with a frown, Izriel was irritated.

"What's that jerk in the eyes of the students? I played with students from school just because of personal problems!"

"Udah, gapapa. You're not going to get out of school." Entertain Ratih to the little girl who was sobbing. "Yes, right?" He continued, looking up at Izriel who was standing.

"Yes, but you have to take responsibility" Izriel pointed to Ratih.

"Huh? What do you mean?!" Mariziah was angry to hear Izriel's words.

"Lo, take care of me!" Izriel ignored Mariza and pointed at Ratih's face.

"Okay, I understand."

"Good!" Izriel then took Ratih to the UKS. Passed by many students who watched them. Including Queens. He was furious when he saw Ratih who was joining forces with Izriel.
