CLEO & CASSANO (Love In Hospital)

CHAPTER 7

"Tell me what's really going on?" Mr. Kemal looked at them one by one.

"He started, sir!" Sandra pointed at Cleo.

"Correct, Cleo?" tanyakanya.

"He started first, sir!" cleo. Cleo told him what happened, Mr. Kemal listened carefully.

"You as an outstanding student shouldn't be hooked on them" she told Cleo.

"Then, do I have to keep quiet when they bully my friends?" cleo asked, Mr. Kemal was silent.

"After all, you are still guilty. As punishment all four of you stand in the schoolyard until the lesson is over." Sandra gawking.

"Sir, you know who I am?" ask Sandra.

"I know, but what's wrong is still wrong. Been there to carry out your punishment. Or do I want to add more?" threaten her.

"Why isn't he punished?" Sandra pointed at Nayla.

"Because he wasn't involved in your quarrel" he said. They immediately got out of BP's room, and walked towards the school grounds. 

"Cle, I'm sorry! Because of me you're being punished." Nayla feels guilty.

"Easy! Is there always a first?" Cleo could still joke.

"What friend, Lo? Your best friend is punished hot-hot, you feel good inside." ucao Sandra.

"Not to be heard! That's where you come in!" Cleo told Nayla to come in.

"People are so you're dying?" sandra said after Nayla left.

"It's none of your business!" Cleo ignored. Sandra and her comrades were unceasingly grumbling. Because their faces were hit by the hot sun.

🍀🍀🍀

"You must be thirsty!" Nayla gave him a bottle of cold drink. Cleo accepted it and immediately gulped the drink to the end. "I'm sorry, Cle!" Nayla still feels guilty.

"What the hell are you!" Cleo. They laugh together.

"Cle, we go yuk!" said it.

"Where?" ask Cleo.

"Actually, Kiano was making sure I walked. But I want you to come, too." Nayla says it while looking down.

"Why don't you two walk?" ask Cleo. "Tempo?" guess Cleo when she saw Nayla was silent.

"Yes" he replied slowly.

"Something seems to be in love." Nayla's face is red.

"Cleo!!" Nayla shut her mouth.

"When have you had a crush on him?" ask Cleo.

"The first time I set foot in this high school." Cleo's surprised. "He helped me when I accidentally fell in front of the other kids." Cleo finally understands why Nayla looks happy when Kiano invites her to join the osis. "So, how? You want to help me?" tanyakanya.

"OK, okay! I'll do whatever you're happy with." Cleo stood up and threw her bottle into the trash. They grabbed the bag that was located on the grass and walked towards the exit of the school.

🍀🍀🍀

"What are you doing?" Kiano clasped Sandra's hand.

"What do you mean?" Sandra tried to take her hand off Kian.

"I warned you, Don't bother Nayla! But, did you fight Cleo?" Kiano looks really angry.

"They started! You don't know how brutal they are. What's more, that Cleo." she replied.

"I don't want to hear any more excuses from you. From now on don't ever come near me again." Kiano made Sandra stagger. Sandra was crying, she didn't expect Kiano to be that angry at her.

"Lo, is it okay?" ask his two partners.

"It's all because of that village chick!" Sandra kicked the tires of her car. He immediately got into the car followed by Leony and Stela.

"Why should I? Getting angry, he forbade me to approach him." Sandra looks panicked.

"Here you go, calm down! Just pretend to be nice to Nayla! After that, I'm sure Kian will be good again." - Stela.

"He's right! You pretend to be good at the village" said Leony who agreed with his idea. Sandra's eyes seemed to sparkle at the suggestion from them. After feeling quite calm, Sandra drove her car out of the school area.

Meanwhile, Nayla and Cleo arrive in the parking lot looking for Kiano. The young man walked up from the school corridor and approached them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting a long time" he said as he arrived in front of them.

"It's okay" replied Nayla.

"We're on the road now?" bring him.

"You guys go together! I'm on a motorbike." said Cleo.

"Your motor is staying. Tomorrow I pick you up and take you to school." she suggested, Cleo glanced at Nayla.

"No, I'm on a motorcycle." Cleo got on her bike and put on a helmet. Kiano can no longer force him. Nayla's coming with Kiano's car. 

After a half hour drive, they finally arrived at Puri Mall. Kiano invited them to watch. After that, they ate together. Everything is handled by Kian.

"Come, Nay, I'll drive you home!" he said when they were in the parking lot. Nayla looked doubtful, and turned to Cleo.

"Nayla came home with me. Maghrib, it's not good if you're the one who delivered." Cleo replied, Nayla smiled faintly.

"Udah, it's okay. It's not too late yet, and our house isn't far from here either." Cleo replied. 

"Well, be careful!" Nayla gets on Cleo's bike and they leave right away. Kiano was still looking at them until the bike was out of sight.

"Something seems happy" Cleo joked as they reached Nayla's house.

"What the hell, Cle?" she's shy.

"If that's what I'm going to do, I'll see you tomorrow" Cleo said.

"Be careful, yes!" the message. Cleo turned the engine back on. Arriving at home, Cleo immediately headed for the garage, smiling face when he saw Adam's car was already there. Cleo rushed in and looked for her father's whereabouts.

"Where have you been?" cleo's smile slowly faded as he looked at the cold gaze from her.

"I'm new to the mall, Dad!" answer Cleo.

"Can't you go home first?"

"But I have an appointment with a friend" he replied.

"The school side contacted me." Cleo's eyes grew. "What'sthis? Since when do you like to fight?" tanyakanya.

"Cleo just defends a friend, Dad!" the answer.

"But what to fight? Do you want to be a hero?" Adam remained with his cold attitude. "Do you know what you're doing is wrong?"

"Son, what I'm doing is right. I am innocent! I'm just defending my friend!" Cleo couldn't accept Adam blaming her.

"Cleopatra!!" his yell.

"When did you ever care about me? Just take care of all of Dad's work." after spilling his frustration, Cleo ran towards her room.

"Sir, why should you be angry like this? I don't think it's entirely the fault of Miss." bi Ita who had been listening to their commotion had spoken.

"If it's not stopped now, I'm afraid he'll get involved in some unhealthy association." After saying that, Adam went back to his room.

"They're both the same." bi Ita climbed the stairs to Cleo's room.

"Non, it's auntie!" he said after knocking on the door. There was no answer, he opened the door slowly. He saw Cleo crying with her head covered in pillows. "Money!" bi Ita held his arm.

"Bad fuck, Bi! You never cared about me." Cleo got up and hugged the woman who was already like a mother to her.

"Sstt, why talk like that? The Lord loves the lady very much. Master just doesn't want miss to get hurt." she's always the mediator between father and son.

"Auntie lied! Dad just didn't want me to embarrass him." he replied.

"That's not true, Non!" bi Ita gently stroked her head. After all he had already considered Cleo like his own daughter. Moreover, he did not have a child in his marriage. After half an hour of calming Cleo down, she immediately came out upon seeing the girl already asleep.

"Master?"he was shocked when he saw Adam in front of Cleo's room.

"Is he still angry?" tanyakanya.

"Miss just went to sleep. It's the first time she's cried like that" she said. 

"There's always a first, Bi. He cannot be in my protection forever. He has to learn to face anything." said Adam. 

"But the lady is still too small to understand that, sir.

"There are no limits to survival. He already had to know that the world was cruel, even more so for a woman." after saying that Adam left bi Ita who was still standing in front of Cleo's room.

"They're both just as hard" he said.

🍀🍀🍀

"Where's Cleo?" ask Adam who just came out of his room. 

"Miss is gone, sir?" adam's eyebrows shot up, he saw the clock on his wrist.

"This morning?" tanyakanya.

"It seems that miss is still upset, even she doesn't want breakfast." bi Ita recounted how Cleo refused when she told her to have breakfast.

"Oh yeah, let it go!" bi Ita followed with annoyance at Adam's cold attitude. Adam left after he finished breakfast.

"Morning, Cleo!" greet Kiano when he saw him get off the bike.

"Again" he answered.

"Where's Nayla?" 

"I don't know. Maybe it's inside." They walked together.

"Cleo!!" he turned around when he heard Nayla call him.

"Tumben late?" cleo asked as soon as Nayla got in front of them.

"You're part of it." Nayla looked at Kian. "Hi!" sapana. Kiano smiled kindly. 

"Ntar afternoon still want to walk?" Kiano took them away again. Nayla smiled, while Cleo seemed to be thinking.

"Where, Cle?" Nayla asked expectantly. 

"May, but not for long! Before Maghrib I had to be home." obviously, they agreed.

"Hi, Nay!" they are shocked by Sandra's sudden presence. Nayla was even more surprised, because Sandra was friendly to her. "Nay, I want to apologize for my attitude to you all along. You still want to be my best friend, right?" everyone was shocked, even more so Leony and Stela. Sandra stretched out her hand, Nayla looked doubtful, she was at a loss as to how.
