His eyes were too tired to cry, after a full day yesterday he drained all the water in both eyes. His sad face was still clearly visible from the look on his face. Hair and clothes look messy, so puffy eyes after crying are still wearing. Astrid doesn't care about how she looks right now. Because, no matter how beautiful she looks, Astrid will still be talked about by people. Starting from his status as a student who married his teacher, the insults continued to appear. Those who do not believe in the match between Astrid and Janus, always say that Astrid is a despicable woman who is willing to marry her teacher just for money. They think that Astrid's beautiful appearance is the result of her teasing the rich handsome teacher.
Every time someone passed by, they insinuated with words that often made his heart ache.
The look of disgust from people just kept on pointing at him. He was tired of the humiliation of those around him. Astrid was eager to fight those who always hated her, but she who was too weak did not have the courage to confront the evil-mouthed people. He better be quiet without caring what people say to him. Than he should be getting hurt.
Until Astrid also prefers to lay her head on the table while pairing earphones in both ears.
Twelve minutes of listening to high volume music. To the extent that an examination supervisor came he was not aware. Until Alula moved from her seat to pat her best friend's shoulder.
"Trid," call Alula.
Astrid puffing. "Well, what's La?"
"The supervisor has arrived. Can I help you put your bag forward, right?" ask Alula.
"No need, let me just," replied Astrid who just unzipped her bag and took the stationery that will be used. After that, he moved forward to store the bag.
Before he took the test, Astrid first prayed for fluency in the test. Astrid was very earnest in praying. He hoped that on the second day of the exam, he could easily answer all questions.
It took only two minutes for her to pray, and Astrid began working on the paper that the supervisor had given her. Astrid seemed pleased with the questions on the question paper that she thought were easy. Astrid does not need to think too hard about the problem, because the second test that is carried out is a subject that is very happy, namely Indonesian. Astrid made sure that she would get good grades from the eyes of the student.
After the exam was completed, Astrid needed to return to the office to complete the introductory work done by the principal and teacher staff. Astrid goes to the office with her two friends, Hilda and Alula.
Every step he walked, people were always throwing evil words at him. Although his heart ached, Astrid ignored those around him. He always convinced himself to stay strong in the face of problems that are emerging in this life.
Maybe many people hate him, but Astrid will be calm because it has two loyal friends accompany him when he slumped. Neither Hilda nor Alula, neither of them stopped removing Astrid's arm. Until Astrid reached the front of the office, her steps suddenly came to a halt. Nervousness is certain, because today is a determination for him to stay in school or even issued by parties in school.
"You need to be calm when you answer all the questions from the teacher" Hilda smiled.
Astrid nodded while smiling at her two best friends. Before entering the office he first took a deep breath, then boldly entered the office.
When she managed to enter the office, there was only her husband and the headmaster and the ranks of teachers who were sitting together. However, the parents he had contacted through a message on his cellphone did not appear to be present at the office. Astrid looked astonished, but this morning she had told her mother to come on time at school.
"What about your parents, why aren't they here yet?" Even your husband's grandfather didn't appear to be present either" the school principal said.
However, Astrid has not yet turned on her phone screen. Baskara came to the office with an angry-looking expression.
"Is there anything important about Baskara coming here?" asked the principal with surprised experesion.
Astrid and Janus were astonished as to why the headmaster seemed to recognize Baskara. As far as Astrid and Janus know, Baskara is the first time to go to school.
"I asked my granddaughter to come here?" baskara answered while sitting next to Janus.
"What do you mean, what grandchild?" asked the headmaster who looked shocked after finding out that Baskara had come because of her grandson.
"Janus is my grandson and the one who will inherit this school" Baskara replied.
"Sorry sir I don't think Mr. Janus is your grandson" the principal said.
Janus was quite surprised by what his grandfather said. During his stay in Indonesia, in addition to his grandfather who is a rich businessman. Janus does not know that the owner of the school where he teaches is an elite school owned by his grandfather. Astrid is also surprised to learn that she is the granddaughter-in-law of a school owner.
"I heard that my grandchild's wedding is known by many people due to scattered photos" said Baskara.
"Yes sir, there are parties who spread the wedding photos of Mr. Janus and Astrid" said the principal.
"Janus's wedding was my arrangement. I asked Janus to marry the granddaughter of my best friend immediately. This is not the fault of Janus and Astrid. I won't explain at length. I would like to ask you and the teachers at this school to immediately find the person who shared the wedding photos of my grandchildren" Baskara said.
The mangangguk school. "Alright sir I'll find out about the person who spread it."
"I give you one day. If tomorrow you all can't find it, I'll fire you and make it hard for you all to get more work" Baskara said.
The headmaster including the ranks of teachers who were present in the office was shaking in fear at the threat that Baskara threw at them. Everyone panicked at the threat. Moreover, Baskara is famous for people who will have the heart to make his subordinates lose their jobs.
Baskara moved from her seat. "Janus, Astrid let's go home now."
Astrid and Janus got out of their seats and walked away to follow Baskara out of the office. While they were outside, all of the students who were still in the school looked surprised by the arrival of the face owners who often appeared on television and business magazines. All eyes were fixed on the man who was sick with terminal cancer. Their eyes were unmoved, staring at the admiration of people who had great influence in the business world.
