I'M Princess.

7. Memories of the Past.

***H Hotel***

Cella returns to the hotel where her Junior High school reunion is being held, leaving Diana and Kevin with Kenzo at Hamilton Hospital, the family in A is the Hamilton family.

He has promised to help cure Kenzo, the son of his old Junior High friend. A friend who is very kind and accepts himself as he is, when other friends stay away from him.

The time in Junior High school was not many good memories that Cella had, only bad memories that she went through at that school. Rihana Audison's step-sister does not provide a comfortable school atmosphere for Cella, there is always a work done by Rihana to disturb Cella so as not to feel at home in school with him.

The last incident that happened at the school was the event that made Cella not only quit school, but also, but also went from country A with a name that has been tarnished badly and it was all the acts and plans of Rihana on the orders of the papa.

Cella is accused of theft she never committed, but none of her teachers and classmates believe her. The pain and shame he felt at that moment.

Flashback …

"Based on the poor ..You dare to steal in this elite school, you shouldn't be here." Rina Amelia is the daughter of one of the top businessmen in the country A.

Cella attended an elite school for rich children, not because she was a child of the Audison family. But he was smart enough and good at every subject, so he got scholarships from the school and often represented the school to participate in several competitions.

Cella's cleverness even more makes her disliked by Rihana and some other school friends. Cella's intelligence with her IQ is above average, making her striking among her schoolmates. In addition to the appearance of Cella who is like a cupoo student with her thick glasses and shoulder-length hair that is always braided in two, making her look like a nerd student.

"Don't you think the smartest student can steal valuables at this school. You're just ruining the good name of this school." Rina was visibly upset that her new phone and wallet were missing, then found inside Cella's school bag.

"Even if you're smart, you're still a thief." Accuse Rina.

"No. No, I never stole your phone and wallet, Rina." Cella defended herself.

"If you're not the thief, then how can my phone and wallet be in your bag?" Rina's stingy because Cella doesn't want to confess.

While in the corner of the room, Rihana smiled happily at what he planned and his papa's letter went smoothly.

"I don't know." Said Cella weakened, to defend herself was free. No one will believe him.

"Sir principal, will these thieves still be allowed to attend school here?" Said Rina looking towards the headmaster.

"Of course not, he should be taken out. He just smeared the school's good name." The principal replies, staring intently at Cella, who is already crying over a burglary charge she never committed, but all the evidence points to her.

The headmaster certainly could not defend Cella, and he could not oppose the request from the daughter of one of the shareholders at the school. All the evidence leads to Cella, to convolve and defend herself even Cella can not.

Proof of Rina's phone and wallet found in her school bag, also CCTV footage of the class shows Cella opening a school bag belonging to Rina to enter the book ordered by Rihana during the break. It is clear that Cella opened the school bag owned by Rina is real evidence that can not be denied.

Cella then remembers all the orders given by Rihana to her, glancing at Cella's eyes looking at Rihana who was standing in the corner of the principal's room with other friends.

'This must be you, Rihana.' Cella muttered in her heart as she saw the thin smile of victory Rihana saw her suffering.

"Princella Johanes, you will be expelled from this school. We the school will contact your guardian. From tomorrow you'll be banned from entering this school again." The principal made the decision.

"But sir…!" Cella's speech was interrupted because it was cut by one of the teachers.

"There is no denial and defense anymore, it's a good thing Miss Rina didn't report you to the authorities." Said the teacher.

Cella was silent, there was nothing she could do. It's all over and ruined by Rihana's plan. His good name as an exemplary and clever student was broken already about that event.

His stepfather who pretended not to know it was Rihana's plan, was of course angry because he felt ashamed of the child's behavior. Mama Cella can only shut up and cry because she is angry at Cella who has made her embarrassed and disappointed.

The decision was taken, Cella was returned to her biological father who was in country B. It was there that the struggle of Cella's life began in a way that is not easy. Bringing with him his anger, disappointment and resentment towards those who made false accusations and his good name was broken.

Flashback…

Now this is where Cella is, in the middle of the eyes of all her Junior High school friends. Cella, who is now performing as is with her long hair and a simple knee-length dress in blue night, accentuates her pure white skin.

But unfortunately Cella's face is only polished with simple makeup, on the skin of her face still shows some faint black dots on both cheeks. Her appearance that was always disguised was not without reason, she did not want anyone to recognize her tonight. Cella needs to be careful.

Cella sat alone on the sofa in the corner of the room. Although a little far from friends who gathered, but he was quite able to hear clearly the rumors of his friends who were talking about him.

"You're starting to burn for their words." Said a man who came and sat on a nearby sofa all of a sudden. It was Kevin, Diana's husband whom she met this afternoon at Hamilton Hospital.

"It's hot enough to burn your ears and heart." Reply Cella without looking at Kevin, but his attention towards the empty glass he was holding.

"If all that's not true, why do you feel burning and angry?" Luring Kevin, he stared intensely at Cella.

"If your name is damaged by false accusations against you, and is in a position of no self-defense, what will you do?" Instead of answering, Cella asked.

"Are you quiet enough and take it for granted? Or will you not be easily provoked by anger and disappointment and embarrassment about it?" Ask back.

Kevin was silent, he digested what Cella said? If he was in Cella's position, maybe he would behave the same way as what Cella is doing right now? Perhaps even worse, he would beat up everyone who gave him those false accusations, and he would avenge everyone who kept corrupting him.

"So those are all false accusations that someone's planning to make."

"How do you think?"

"I used to hear from Diana, if you wouldn't have done that. You can't steal Rina's phone and wallet."

"Did Diana say that to you?"

Diana was always kind and never thought bad or negative about her. But he did not know if Diana and Kevin had been close since Junior High, because those who were not classmates had never been seen together.

"Yes. Diana has complete trust in you, if you can't steal."

Cella fell silent, she recalled Diana who had always been kind to her. She could be grateful to have been at the meeting by Diana, at least in a time when everyone was accusing and believing she was stealing. There was still Diana who believed in him, if Cella would not have been able to pull off the theft.

"When you left, Diana lost you so much. A friend who can understand her very closed and shy self." Kevin said as Diana cried sadly for the loss of Cella.

Cella looked at Kevin, there was honesty in Kevin's eyes. Just as Cella wanted to talk, some people in their expensive clothes came over.

"It turns out you're here Kevin." Said a handsome man in his expensive suit, a man that Cella knew very well. They were one class, the young master of the Richard family, Levi Richard.

Levi Richard was a handsome and wealthy man. His face was handsome, pure white with a firm jaw and a perfectly pointed nose. His body was athletic in height, adding to his charismatic aura as heir to the Richard family throne.

Cella and Kevin looked towards Levi. Behind Levi is Rina Amelia, Rihana Audison and another handsome man, Kristian Wijaya. The man who is also good friends with Kevin and Levi, and one other man is Sean Hamilton. The popular man in their school used to be the leader of the 4 handsome men.

"What's wrong?" Ask Kevin.

"Kevin, aren't you sitting with him wrong?" Tanya Rina looked down at Cella who was still sitting quietly.

Kevin knew who Rina meant. Kevin just looked calmly at Levi who asked him, regardless of Rina's presence. Making Rina upset about Kevin's uncaring attitude towards him.

"Where is Sean, so far he hasn't come?" Ask Levi directly at the point.

"Why don't you just call him." Reply Kevin.

"Here, the number is off. You're closer to her, maybe you know?" Ask Levi.

Kevin quiet. That's right, Kevin and Sean's relationship is the closest between them because they are still cousins of their mother. Kevin had been calling Sean's number in the hospital since late afternoon, but was not active. Where is Sean, not usually disappearing without news?
