Masked Girl

Faithful Listener

"Who's making a fuss here?" The loud voice of Mr. Eza instantly made all the people inside the theater speechless.

"Sorry Mr. Eza. I can't prevent this commotion." Said Bu Isti while lowering his gaze.

Mr. Eza walked up to Clarissa. "You're the one making a fuss here?"

"No Sir. I just..."

"Not many reasons. From now on there should be no more bullying at this school" said Mr. Eza firmly. "As your punishment, you clean all the women's toilets. Now!"

"Sir Eza who? Dare to punish me." Clarissa's words further enraged Mr. Eza. How dare he speak disrespectfully to the teacher.

"I'm a teacher and you're a student! You must obey the orders and rules of this school! Work now! Or your punishment I added!!"

Clarissa snorted in annoyance. He turned his back and walked out of the theater with his two best friends.

"It's just because of Andini that I got the law. Who the hell is Mr. Eza bravely my law!" While walking to the toilet Clarissa kept mumbling.

"Lo both clean the toilet! I'm gonna wait in front." Tell Clarissa to Nova and Sasa.

"Well, how are we?!"

"Why?! You fight me too!!"

They both had to work out Clarissa's punishment. Clarissa plays her phone and calls her Papa.

"Call, Pa. Clarissa gets a punishment at school."

"Who dares to punish you?"

"Sir Eza, Pa. New teacher here."

"Sir Eza? What did you do wrong?"

"I'm just a prank, Pa. Besides Mr. Eza who the hell would dare to punish me."

"Yes, you have already done the punishment. Papa's busy, huh.." Then the call was ended by Papa Clarissa.

"Father! Ih. I think Mr. Eza is not a random person. I have to be careful." Clarissa folded her arms while standing near the toilet.

"Sir Eza, what's the need?" ask Mr. Budi as the guard of the cctv control room at the school.

"Can you please check the cctv in front of the theater room, about 15 minutes ago."

"okay." Mr. Budi immediately did the order of Mr. Eza. He waited for a few seconds for the video to go.

"Stop Sir!" You can see Andini coming out of the theater room while running. "Please trace where the girl went."

"Yes sir." Mr. Budi immediately connected several cameras that lurked the direction of Andini's footsteps. "It looks like he's headed for an unused back shed."

"Lack warehouse? Is there a cctv?"

"Nothing, sir. You see cctv there is often hit by lightning."

"OKAY. Goody. Oiya, may I ask for help."

"Yes Sir? I'll help you with pleasure."

"Please collect all the videos about bullying at this school and send them to my e-mail."

"Mother want to take care of this problem? Good Sir. So far no one has dared to handle the frequent bullying cases in this school."

Mr. Eza patted Mr. Budi on the shoulder. "So soon you will find it..."

"Ready, sir."

Mr. Eza immediately exited the control room and headed to his office first to retrieve his blazer. After that he casually walked towards the back shed so that no one would suspect him.

Arriving at the barn, he entered and looked crazily at a crying girl sobbing. He walked slowly and put his blazer on Andini's body to cover his shoulders.

Andini stopped her crying. He gasped in shock when suddenly there was someone wearing him a blazer. He looked up and looked at her. "Sir Eza?"

Mr. Eza smiled and now he is sitting next to Andini. His hands stretched out to remove the remains of Andini's tears. "Don't cry anymore. If you need anything, you tell me. Or maybe you need someone to share your story with, I can be a loyal listener to you."

For so long you have not heard that word. Loyal listeners to you. Yes, the last time he heard that phrase was more than a year ago from his mother when he was alive and now he can hear it again from Mr. Eza. Andini was crying again. Even harder than before.

"Yes, now you can cry as much as you can let your feelings be relieved." one embrace now managed to make Andini's head lean on his shoulder.

Andini wanted to refuse, but this feeling was too comfortable...
