Lara's Frame

Escape From School

The atmosphere between us was suddenly silent and I was still faithfully bowed with mixed feelings. I'm mute. My tears will spill, but I can't cry in front of Defa and Nacha.

For a moment I lifted my head straight, looking at Defa and Nacha who were also silent. My eye bead meets Defa's eye bead. I could see clearly her gaze that showed disappointment to me. Then, I turned my bead to look at Nacha. Same. Nacha threw her disappointed look at me. I should what? Should I be honest with them?

"You don't want to tell a story yet?" The question posed by Defa managed to break the silence between us.

I looked back down, not knowing what to do. Should I lie? But for nothing, they must know that I'm lying to them.

"Answer, Kayla!" Defa's tone of voice rose. I'm afraid, if I don't answer him he'll be mad at me.

"Sorry," I said first apologizing, then I fell silent for a moment. I could only look down while holding back tears that might not be contained anymore. "So Sarah nenggenggol my body, until the meatballs spilled." Then my tears just broke. Yes, I am indeed a crybaby who can only cry, cry and cry. I failed to be a strong woman.

Defa was filled with anger rising from his seat. I see, the stairs are clenched and the face is red. He's really mad.

"I have to see Sarah."

"Defa, no!" My ban when Defa had already advanced his legs one step. "Sarah must not have been intentional."

"No, Kay," said Nacha, hitting the table in front of us. "Maybe he wasn't on purpose. It's obvious he was intentional. What do you want Sarah? At that time he bullied you, now he nenggenggol you until the meatballs you brought spilled."

"Def, Cha. I'm nothin."

Without listening to what I said, Defa just left. I ran after Defa so that nothing happened between Defa and Sarah and her line of friends later. Nacha also ran after me so that I would not hinder Defa's good intentions of teaching them a lesson.

--o0o---

"Defa stop!"

I lost track of Defa, and now I've found him in an abandoned laboratory hallway with Sarah. Yes, this time Sarah herself without her friends. Defa just got

throw his hand at Sarah's face.

"Kay, let Defa teach this demonic woman a lesson!" Nacha tugged at my hand, instructing me to leave them, but I couldn't. I still have a heart that will never bear to see Sarah beaten Defa. Yes, although Sarah was mean to me, but this Defa deed can be said to be violent.

"Eh women's policy ******! How dare you complain to this lo girlfriend!"

Buuum....

One more blow floated to Sarah's lips.

"Defa, enough! I'm disappointed in you."

I cried, then ran away from them. I heard Defa calling my name, but I ignored it.

Right now I am sitting at the root of such a huge tree. I chose to leave school and skip the next lesson. I want to calm down for a moment. Getting out of school is not easy because

in front of the gate there was a guard standing guard. Fortunately, I thought about tucking in the trunk of the student's parents' car, and the car I was riding in stopped at a city park not far from my school. Thankfully, the car understood my situation.

"What should I do?" My own monologue to the sky.

"Why can it be like this?"

"I'm confused"

My tears spilled, I couldn't stop even though I'd wiped it many times until my tie and school uniform got wet.

"I have to what?"

I looked down at the green grass below me. My hands squeezed the grass until the roots separated from the ground.

Aww....

I grimaced when I found my finger bleeding from being pierced by a glass shard. But somehow I felt a little calm when I saw my blood coming out. I thought of slashing my arm with that glass shard. Until the glass shard was filled with patches of my blood. I don't know how much blood is coming out.

--o0o---

I went back to school when it was time to go home to pick up the bag I had left in class.

"Where are you from, Kay?"

Nacha was waiting for me from earlier and I could see clearly the look on his worried face.

"I just need some time to calm down, Cha."

"That's your hand why, Kay?" Nacha held onto my arm which was already filled with bandages.

"Nega papa really." I pulled my hand, releasing it from Nacha's grasp. "I'll go home first."

Whahuh? Defa problems in bk office. The vow! All my life I wouldn't touch that room. In my opinion, bk space is only for children who like to violate school rules.

"Defa also said, if I meet you, he told you to wait for him. He wants to see you."

"Same Defa, I'm in a hurry, Cha. I'm sorry I couldn't wait for him."

“Kay, you why?”

--o0o---

"Dlp...Which mom, why so long to pick me up, huh?" my monologue while waiting for an invitation in the school parking lot. This morning before school, my mom promised to pick me up and take me for a walk.

I took the square thing in my pocket, shifted and pressed my smartphone screen. Then I looked for the call icon, pressed the number of the mother I had already reached on the phone board.

Tuout...

Soon the phone was connected and my call was picked up.

"Haloo. Where is mama? Kayla has come home."

"Honey, sorry, mama can't pick up for today and we can't go for a walk, I'm sorry, honey."

Whahuh? Mama can't pick me up? But why so suddenly? Aaah, upset, mama reneged on her promise.

"But why, Ma?"

"There was a client coming. No way you told him to come home, he's from Korea, baby pity. You know, yeah."

Huooh....

I took a deep breath, then answered my mother's words behind the voice I held to the right of my ear, "Yes gpp, Ma. So Kayla goes home on what?"

"You call papa, who knows papa can pick you up. Mama hang up the phone, baby, Mama's client is here."

Tut's.

Still no words came out of my mouth, mama had already decided on the call unilaterally. I stared at my phone screen, then looked for the papa number on the call log, then I pressed the phone symbol.

"Sorry, the number you're going to is off or out of reach."

Holy hooch!

Papa's number could not be reached. How was my fate to go home? Did I ask Defa to take me home? Nope, no! I'm still disappointed in him. I want to avoid Defa first, let him know where his mistake lies and don't do it again.

"I'm getting back to ride an online motorcycle!"

"Don't." Suddenly the familiar voice of baritone broke my monologue. "I'm taking you

home."

"No, I can go home by myself."

"Kay, what's wrong with you?"

"Ngga pa-pa."

"Lied!"

I let out a strong breath. Not wanting to look at her, I was still focused on the screen

handpone.

"So Nacha said, you hurried to the point of not waiting for me. But I still doubt, there's something."

Defa's words shifted my gaze which should not be looking at him. I could clearly see the look of sadness that appeared on his face. My feelings are a little touched. But, if I carry too much feelings, it could be my intention to realize Defa's mistake through my disappointment will fail. I was wrong

noot?

"Yes, I want to go home."

Then I looked back at my phone screen, opened the online motorcycle application and ordered it. 1 Min later the online motorcycle I ordered arrived in front of me.

"I'm deluan, Def," I said, then answered with a nod. Defa's not holding me back. Perhaps, he understood with my current mood.

"Be careful on the road. When you get home, call."
