"I don't think this problem will have an end. Each of you is trying to protect each other. I don't know what's right and what's wrong. Since there are no direct witnesses at the time of the incident, I can call another witness?" Teacher BK released both his folded hands after he finished hearing the debate between Ruri and Farah.

Teacher BK immediately left the room after the nod of the heads of the two people.

"Sister Ruri." Call a Farah.

Ruri ignores Farah's call, she is tired of dealing with the behavior of a girl who has been interfering with her life lately. He then pretended to be busy playing the phone that a moment ago returned by Edo to him.

"Sister..." Call Farah in despair, slowly he stood up from his seat.

"No need to say anything to me. Could it be, you just do me just let this problem be solved? I'm sick of all your drama!"

"So Kak Ruri's response is good, maybe I won't look for trouble!"

"You forgot? I've always been kind to you, but you misinterpreted my kindness, and ended up looking like this."

With a body trembling as it held back tears, Farah slowly approached to where Ruri was sitting.

"Don't come any closer!" Ruri pointed at Farah's face with her hand still holding the phone. "Stop! I said don't come any closer!"

Farah's cry broke out, with very slow steps, every single step stopped, she kept walking towards Ruri.

"Sister Ruri... I just want Brother. Am I wrong?"

Farah, a girl who just sat in the first grade of High School, never Ruri thought she would do anything so far. It is too early to do stupid things just because of unrequited love. Just imagine that Ruri felt ashamed of herself.

"Sister Ruri, answer me!" Said Farah in a high tone.

Fearing that Farah would act even more unreasonable, Ruri inevitably had to serve Farah's words.

"I had a boyfriend, and that was long before I knew you. How many times have I been clear? Don't worry about this anymore."

"You really like that, why is Kak Ruri still being nice to me? You don't think my feelings are because you've made me wish for more?"

Ruri took a deep breath, tub filling her entire body with patience. "I'm sorry that my attitude has made you misunderstand. I just realized recently, I shouldn't. I feel guilty about you, especially Hana. I'm sorry I can't keep your feelings. And once I realized that, I tried to keep boundaries. Let Hana not hurt, and you do not continue to hope for me. Again I'm sorry."

Hearing Ruri who lowered her tone, Farah softened her heart. He sat quietly in the middle of the room with a slightly eased cry.

Not long after, the teacher of BK entered the room followed by Edo, Zia, and two other students who a while ago he called as 'other witnesses'.

Five people who had just arrived were confused by the atmosphere at that time. Ruri's face was very serious and fierce, and Farah's face that looked so shabby with pitiful eyes.

"What's wrong with you, Farah? Why are you sitting here?" Ask the teacher in surprise.

Farah simply shook her head, wiped her tears and sat back down to where she was.

Everyone positioned themselves, sitting adjusting the existing chair.

"Edo, Zia, is it true that you're on a team with Ruri?" Ask the teacher BK.

"Rubber, Sir. Me, Ruri, Zia, and one other person. The four of us are on duty to guard the last post." Answer Edo.

"Tell me from your point of view, why is Ruri who should be on the field, even in the OSIS room?"

"We're one team initially relaxed, sir. Because we think the last post is still loosely timed. After all, all the necessities had been prepared one day before. So we took the time to take a short walk to post two, after that we just went to the post we guarded." Edo explained.

"We assume that we are not the main officer who must take full responsibility, so we are negligent. It was our fault, sir. We knew we were being relied on by other team mates. As a result, we became isolated and some of the needs of many were left in the OSIS space." Sahut Zia, adding to Edo's explanation.

Edo nodded in agreement. "There was one team member who was willing to take the items left in the OSIS room, but unfortunately he did not go back and forth, even though we were all waiting. I borrowed Ruri's phone to coordinate with the child, as well as other children. Well, there Ruri finally decided to follow the boy, but Ruri forgot not to bring her phone. That's why we lost contact. Plus, Ruri didn't come back either, sir. Finally I also followed to the school, and after that, it happened as you saw earlier."

"Said Farah, he's in the OSIS room looking for a raffia rope. Is it true, in the main post is in need of rope raffia?" Ask the teacher BK to two other students who some time ago joined the teacher with Edo and Zia.

"Really, Sir. We need a raffia rope. But all the raffia ropes have been taken to the main post area. We're collecting near the sound system near the field." Answer a student.

"Then why is Farah looking again in the OSIS room?" Ask the teacher BK.

"I don't know if you've been taken there, sir. That's why I have the initiative to find my own. I also came earlier than Kak Ruri, so there was no reason for me to enter the room just because I knew there was Kak Ruri inside." Farah returned to the ground.

"alright. Thanks for the help. I just want to ask you that. Now, the four of you can get back on duty." Tell teacher BK.

"Loh, Sir. We don't know anything, suddenly told to come in, asked something trivial like that, because it was immediately told back without knowing any information?" Protest of another student.

"I'm sorry if I wasted your time."

"No need to apologize, sir. We're not good." Zia laughed awkwardly. "In that case, we want to continue our activities again. Come temen-tenu!"

Zia coded her three comrades to leave the room immediately. With his pushy gaze, the men also reluctantly obeyed Zia's orders.

"Farah, do you want to say something?"

"I don't know if Ruri's coming, sir. I also did not expect that Kak Ruri would do such a thing."

"If you are, Ruri?"

"Whatever, Sir. I'm tired of him." Ruri lowered her voice, her speech flat, unlike before who continued to respond to Farah's words.

"Why is that, Ruri?"

"No matter what I am, I will not win against the ego of a lie." Answer Ruri.

"Aren't you accusing me of lying again about everything?"

Ruri rubbed her face annoyed. Apparently Farah is still very persistent make him ride apitam.

"It's up to you, Farah. Whatever you want to say now. Be free." Ruri turned to look at teacher BK. "I couldn't have done it today, sir. This problem will never have an end if no one wants to give up. And I'm losing."

Teacher BK who had been sitting leaning on the back of the chair then confirmed his position. Looking at his two students in turn, he nodded.

"But I'm not wrong." Ruri said without the slightest hesitation. Sounds flat but authoritative.

The sentence that came out of Ruri's mouth managed to make Farah and the teacher of BK stunned at once. Although short, but it was clear that Ruri blurted out the sentence with confidence.
