JUDITH

NOT CUPS

After a week of treatment, Yudith was allowed to go home. He had been back to the dormitory for three days, but was still not allowed to go to college. Sister Davince gave her an extra break for recovery, even asking the escort sisters to watch over her just in case the girl was stubborn.

Tonight, when Ririsma's cooking picket tomorrow morning is in the kitchen to prepare groceries, Yudith goes to find Lisa.

Although when walking his body felt very light and dizzy head to the extent that like a whim, he did not give up because the opportunity to escape from the supervision of Ririsma is very difficult. The only opportunity, yes, when his best friend was busy running the picket like now.

He passed by the dining room which at this hour had turned into a study room and a place to relax. Some friends greeted him and asked him to be careful, Yudith only responded with a faint smile.

There is no denying that Yudith is indeed annoying, but his careless and calm character is able to radiate dignity. That way, they also naturally felt disinclined towards him. They mostly did not hate or like Yudith too much, just thought it better not to engage in any business with her.

Yudith, who knew Lisa had never hung out with the others, continued to step across the room into her room. Arriving at the door, her already raised hand was about to knock instantly frozen in the air because of something Lisa said. It looks like the girl is talking on the phone.

"Lisa's getting out of here, Buk. No longer feel at home. Please dong, Buk. Lisa promised not to mess around again."

The girl's voice was hoarse and trembling, seemingly crying. Yudith was stunned for a moment, inwardly feeling pity. He thought, after that event, Lisa's heart must never calm down again. The girl covered her anxiety with hubris.

Not wanting to eavesdrop too much, she knocked on the door and Lisa's voice went silent. Not long after that the door opened. For a moment they stared at each other. Standing opposite the two looked very contrasting, one was white and her posture was high, while the other was exotic-skinned and petite.

"You what?!" Lisa's tone of voice was stingy, her reddish eyes narrowed, staring demeaningly.

Yudith stared in the shade. "You talk for a minute." His way of speaking was also light and relaxed.

Not saying anything, Lisa immediately went back in and Yudith followed her and before being invited to sit because standing too long made her head feel spinning. After all, she wasn't sure Lisa would be kind enough to let her sit down.

Both are silent again. Lisa, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, stared fiercely, but Yudith knew that the girl was actually agitated.

"You should take responsibility, not avoid ...."

Lisa's face stiffened immediately. He tried to console himself, telling himself that Yudith had not heard his conversation just now, but now he knew that Judith had heard it.

After gulping down the spit that felt like a pebble, Lisa said coldly, "Why should I take responsibility? What is responsible for?"

"I'm just a mild concussion, not amnesia."

Once again Lisa gulped, this time it felt like the pebble coming down the esophagus was much larger and almost made it difficult to breathe and speak.

When he forced himself to speak, his voice was raucous, "There is indeed evidence, huh?" He cleared his throat several times and continued, "There is no evidence of the same slander. You know that, right?" The last sentence he said while raising his chin.

The right corner of Yudith's lips was drawn thinly upward. "No need for proof" he said with fixed eyes that made Lisa feel like she was being bullied. "You'll admit it yourself."

At that moment Lisa laughed. Ridiculous, he thought. How could Yudith be so sure she would admit to a deed better hidden? He is not a stupid snake that instead of getting out of the way, but instead comes at the bat.

As long as there is no concrete evidence, he will remain safe. Lisa is sure, people like Yudith will not be able to complain to the top officials only with talk, whose fall is even like a mere slander.

"You're not underestimating me, are you? Hey, listen yeah. I'm not that stupid!" Lisa put emphasis in every word in her last sentence.

Again Yudith smiled in a wry manner. Compared to flat, his face this time looks more calm. Actually the girl did not want to talk much, but circumstances forced her. It used to be because he was just silent - not reporting nor acting - Bu Cici freely intimidated him, even harming him, then his former housewife was expelled without being given a chance to correct the mistake.

This time, Yudith did not want such a thing to happen again. She had to talk and act to wake Lisa up. If he can, he wants to make Lisa change. He did not want anyone else to be expelled for doing stupid things based only on hatred for him.

Lisa's parents put her here with the goal that her daughter could change and become a better person. Yudith did not want their hearts and hopes to be broken. Yudith felt a sense of responsibility, helping them to wake Lisa up, because she had already felt the pain of losing hope from someone very valuable. He didn't want anyone else to experience the same.

"If you're not stupid, you should understand your parents' good intentions. Not wasting the opportunity they gave me."

"Hey! Who do you think you are? You know what you know about my parents?" His blood seemed to be bubbling, Lisa reflexively got up and pushed Yudith's shoulder.

The rude jolt made Yudith reflexively close her eyes. The girl grimaced while kneeling the temple which felt like it was pulsing like there was a breathing living being there. His hand gripped the edge of the table tightly.

"Ka .. oe, don't faint here. I don't want to be wronged. There go." Lisa's mouth was very rough, but the look on her face looked anxious. He was not only worried, but also scared.

After feeling better, Yudith opened her eyes and looked at Lisa with slightly wet eyes. Wetness is not due to crying, but rather the effects of dizziness.

"I'll give you one week. Admit what you did and apologize or-"

"Or what, huh? Don't dream. I'm Lisa Wijayanto, no one can force me to do anything I don't want to, or threaten me."

Lisa's face was red. The girl spoke in a low voice, but in each word she was full of emphasis, pointing at Yudith's face.

"Within a week, think carefully." While resting on the edge of the table slowly standing up, Yudith said calmly even as his face frowned in pain still had a slanted smile.

"Oh yes ...." Yudith who had reached the door stopped his steps and turned his head. "If you really like Andreas, attract his attention in a good way. Don't act silly anymore. That's also if you really like it, don't just think of it as a trophy to be won ...."

After that, while creeping on the wall, Yudith left Lisa who was just standing glued.

'Not only think of it as a trophy to be won', Yudith deliberately used the term because she could actually feel, Lisa was chasing Andreas not because she really liked him.

Andreas figure with his charming physical appearance is indeed very prominent. Attracts the attention of almost all women in this foundation. Since High School, Yudith had already felt hostility from those around him just because he was close to the young man. But he thought, for Lisa who always gets everything with the premium class, and hangs out with the upper class people, Andreas is not worth it or worth it.

It seemed, Lisa only saw Andreas as the nicest thing there was in this place. No matter how his quality was, all he wanted was to be able to have that young man for the sake of defeating the others - whom he considered rivals. After succeeding and feeling satisfied, it was likely that he would not be interested anymore.

Yudith did not want the sincere-hearted Andrew to be looked down upon as such. That's very unfair to him. It is likened to a trophy in a race, appreciated only when won, then and so on ignored or will only be displayed as a decoration.

Andreas's attention for one week in the hospital, Yudith realized how much he loved the young man and had unknowingly hung his hopes on him. Now that he had become a little more selfish, wanting Andreas to behave like that was only to him. The determination not to clutch tightly to what was not necessarily his was slowly shrinking.

In fact, in the pensive thought, how is he without Andreas? Or, if he could one day lose Andreas.

"Oh." Yudith hissed as her head grew dizzy, so that her eyes were twitching.

Too much talking and thinking is a huge drain on energy. The girl kept creeping on the wall so as not to scratch. At the dining room door he almost collided with Ririsma.

"Geez Yudith! Told to rest even to wander ...." In a hurry he grabbed his best friend's hand and guided her to walk. "Where the hell is it, lo?"

"Streetings. Bored in the room," Yudith's reply made Ririsma's lips automatically grinned thinly, as her eyes glanced towards the dim, empty corridor. There Lisa stood.

"Hape lo the sound continues from earlier. Si An called." Ririsma deliberately raised her voice so that Lisa could hear as well.

Look at aja lo. I will not calm down, the glasses girl made a cynic.

Arriving at the room, Yudith immediately laid down, while Ririsma was busy stretching the mat.

Ever since Yudith came back, she did not want to sleep in her bed. In case Yudith wanted something in the middle of the night, she finally got permission to borrow one mattress from the warehouse.

"If you are dizzy, sleep. I'm gonna turn the lights on, right?" Ririsma thought with the dark state of the eyes Yudith could be more relaxed.

"Don't just."

Ririsma knew that Yudith did not want the lights off because their two roommates had not returned.

"Yes, close your eyes with a cloth." Ririsma gave her the scarf she used to use as a scarf.

"Thank you, Ris."

There was a sound of vibration from near his pillow, Yudith fumbled. Seeing his best friend in trouble, Ririsma hurriedly helped.

"More. Andrew." Before Yudith received, Ririsma had already opened the connection. "Don't call her for long. Your wife needs a break. Know lo?"

There was a sound from across. "Pity the people of Judith."

Ririsma gave Yudith her cell phone and sat cross-legged on the mat while reading Andreas' novel.

"Hello, An."

"Where? What's up yet? Don't forget to take the medicine. Rest, don't be stubborn."

Despite knowing Andreas could not see him, Yudith nodded while saying, "Yes. Thanks, An."

"Yes already, sleep gih. Don't read a novel yet."

"Hem." Again Yudith nodded.

"Met bobok, Dith. Get well soon."

"Ready, Mr. Andreas!" Ririsma exclaimed while giggling.

From the other side, Andreas laughed, but was immediately silent because Yudith broke the connection.

The girl let out a long sigh while deepening, thank you, An.
