The whole class was noisy, until then the teacher and the security came to muffle both sides.
"Stop..!"'s search...!"
"Stop...!"
"What's this?"
A teacher seemed to be shouting and telling them all to calm down.
"What's this?" asked the teacher once more, while giving an angry look towards Darren and his friends.
Shortly after Mr. Andrew and other teachers arrived, they were the same asking about what had happened.
"He challenged me first, ma'am."
The boy defended himself in front of teachers and school security. Before Darren and his own friends spoke up.
"You why Darren?. Why are you challenging your upperclassman?" ask the teacher.
"Well, should it be her mother?. Why did upperclassman come to junior class and make a fuss. Everywhere that comes in is wrong, where bring a baseball bat and more."
"If you start first, how?. They also have a reason, right?. There can be no smoke if there is no fire."
"He harassed my friend, ma'am. Her friend also, her same generation, because her love was rejected. I know the pro mom is the same chairman of the foundation, but it doesn't protect crime either."
"What's the evidence?"
The teacher's voice was challenging, asking Darren to prove his accusation.
"Many witnesses saw the incident and many victims of violence from this child, both men and women. All this time they didn't want to complain because mom always stood up for this kid."
"Huh, be careful when you talk?"
"Cautious mother, we could have complained to our parents and our parents could have taken the case into the realm of law. Are you ready to take responsibility for everything?"
The teacher's face turned pale and full of fear.
"Already, finish in the principal's room."
This time Andrew mediated, they all ended up in the principal's room. The victims, both new and old, were asked to provide information. The witnesses opened their mouths.
***
After a long trial for several days, the school decided to remove the child from the school. I don't know where it ended up. Whether to go to another school or something, no one wants to know. While the teacher who has been defending and covering up his mistakes is given punishment. With in mutation to another school that is still in the shade of the same foundation.
Finally the students who had been victims felt relieved and happy. Although Darren and his friends' faces were battered with bruises and bruises, what they could match.
"Thank you, Darr. Because you justice can be done in our school."
Micah said as he compressed the bruises on Darren's face that were still left. It had been a few days since that incident, but the bruises were still there.
"You've said that many times, brother, even from the first day."
Micah smiled as well.
"It's not enough to thank you."
"But Darren is not alone in doing that. Also helped by Darren's friends and witnesses who want to open their voices."
"Yes, but the provocateur is you."
This time Darren laughed.
"His son, there are demonstrations and riots there are provocateurs" he said later.
"Yes, what is the meaning of a term."
"Means dong, different terms mean different."
"Yes, teacher." This time Micah mocked Darren, and again they laughed.
"God."
Suddenly Darren complained of pain in the compress part by Micah.
"It still hurts?” asked Micah curiously.
"Still know."
"Duh, you're a mess."
Micah touched the bruised part with his soft hand. But it was not Darren's cheeks that were touched, but his heart. The gentle touch was successful in giving a warm feeling that spread to his heart.
"What feeling is this?"
Darren doesn't understand.
From that moment onward, Darren seemed to feel the touch of Micah's hand every day. The beautiful eyes of the woman were always present in her mind, both day and night.
Often he woke up in the middle of the night and remembered the girl. He suddenly became more eager to go to school, as he was about to meet Micah.
This he told his friends when they were gathering at Reno's house. After they do their homework.
"Fell in love, Darr" said Yudha.
"What I'm saying is, you shoot him. Don't waste time, Darr. Ntar he is the same as people." said Reno.
"Rubber." Bimo confirmed Reno's speech.
"Don't be sorry later, bro." continued Bimo later.
Darren thought, I think he was a little hesitant.
"But you're sure he'll accept me, as I'm his underclassman. While in his generation, the handsome, pinter, popular many bray. What if he doesn't like me, just think I'm limited to temen and doang's underclassmen."
"Where do we know if we don't try, kodarr."
This time Reno clapped Darren's head with a book.
"Lo try it first, who knows luck. Aren't you, bro?" reno asked Yudha and Bimo.
"Yoi, I agree with Reno." said Yudha.
"Lo minder time with upperclassman. Cemen lo, Darr."
This time Bimo made Darren a little bit burned in his spirit.
"But how?. You know that I've never dated."
"Oh yeah, that's easy. Let's go meet him, talk somewhere. Keep saying what you mean."
Darren fell silent and thought, presumably Yudha's speech just now he could understand. Although there is still a pinch of fear.
Long enough Darren thought and steadied his heart. Until something when, he ventured to arrest Micah shortly after school. So that the girl does not rush home. Micah who was astonished by Darren's attitude lately was curious.
"I want to talk to you about something."
"On what?. About the house again?. Mama's with your papa again?"
Darren shakes.
"Not brother, but there's something else."
"On the olympics?"
"Not really."
Micah thought for a moment.
"Hm, I know."
This time Darren looked towards Micah. He wanted to know what the girl really knew, about her feelings.
"You're in love, aren't you a girl?. You want to ask your sister for an opinion on how to approach her, right?. Hayo, ngaku." Micah said with a mischievous smile.
"Not that, brother."
"You don't have to relax, just relax with your big brother."
"Not that."
"Continue?"
"Yes I'm in love."
"Well, really. Brother said what too. Ciee, ciee, who is it?. Must be pretty, right?"
"Yes." Yeah."
This time Darren stared fixedly at Micah.
"She's beautiful, she's beautiful."
Micah was getting excited.
"Who Darr is. I'm curious."
"He's here."
"Well, that must be the school kid too, right?. The question is, whose child is it?. What's the name, what class?"
"He's here."
Darren said with a serious tone of decisiveness and mimicry, making Micah suddenly speechless as well as dumbfounded. Especially not long after, he felt his hand being touched by Darren and grasped tightly.
"The guy's here." Darren said with an inseparable look from Micah.
The atmosphere turned silent, Michaela's body began to cool and tremble.
"Sister, will you not be my girlfriend?" ask him expectantly.
While Micah was already at a freezing point, he could not say anything. He did not expect if the woman referred by Darren was himself. He thought Darren would fall in love with his old friends. Because his own age friends have been waiting in line to become Darren's girlfriend.
"Sister?" Darren asked for certainty.
"But, Darr. I'm two years older than you."
"What's the problem with age?. We can't ask to be born first or later, and as far as I know love doesn't need any conditions. Including whose age should be older."
"Yes but right...."
"I don't want to hear the word but, what do I want you to hear?"
Micah let go of Darren's hand, then looked at the young man closely.
"Love brother time to think."
Darren was a bit disappointed to hear the request. Especially because he had gathered courage for so many days just to do this. He hopes to get an answer soon, but he seems to have to be more patient.
"How long?"
"So don't know how long this will take, which obviously you have to think. Ask the opinions of those closest to brother, sister's friends."
"Why not ask your own brother's heart, don't involve others?. What your heart thinks is right."
Micah was silent at the words. Darren's right about feelings, we don't have to ask anyone else. Asking yourself and your heart is the right thing.
"Yes, I need some time. I'll answer you later and it won't be long."
"Okay, Darren wait."
Micah went home, and Darren too. Although he was a little disappointed, but Darren was relieved to have defeated his fear. He had dared to express his feelings clearly without fear of anything. Now he just has to be patient waiting for the result.
A few days later, Darren is seen sitting alone in the park near the school gate reading a book. Suddenly all his friends approached.
"Woi, why don't you." asked Reno as she patted Darren on the shoulder. Darren, who was surprised, closed the book and watched the three friends.
"I read this book again." Darren points out the self-improvement book he read.
"Lo just bought it?" ask Bimo then.
"Yes."
"Ntar I pinjem dong."
"Yes, but don't move the paper marker."
"Yes, Kodarr."
"Eh Darr, by the way how's Micah?" ask Reno then. They were very curious about what had happened between the two.
"No idea, he hasn't said anything to me. Maybe still think."
"His mind is very long." chirped Yudha followed by another laugh.
"I don't know, he used to be mediocre. Ask for wangsit."
Darren lengthened their jokes, then they laughed again. Until without them knowing, suddenly Micah and his friends were already there.
Reno pats Bimo and Yudha on the shoulder, giving them a code to immediately move away. Micah turned his head for a while towards his friends, and his friends signaled for the girl to approach Darren.
They all finally left and slipped behind the classroom walls with eyes still peeking. Micah is now approaching Darren.
"Hi, Darr."
"Hi."
