Episode 32: The Verdict from the School

I then realized that I had hugged Sherly's body long enough huh, so soon I released my embrace from her body while saying :

"Oh, that's why I'm sorry, Sher hugged your body" I said with a regretful tone as I bent a bit of my body towards him.

"Hmm, yes this time I'm sorry you, but beware if you dare to do it to Manda or to me again, know the consequences yourself right? "sherly said in a relaxed tone and ended with a warning to me as she opened her penknife to threaten me.

"Yes Sher, I promise you I won't admit it again to you or to Manda kok." I said in a calm tone to convince Sherly.

"Yes, it's good if you understand, then I go home first" Sherly said as she closed her penknife and began walking away from me to go home.

I could only look puzzledly at Sherly who was starting to move away from where I was at the moment. Is it that hurt that Sherly's heart saw me close to Manda huh?, then what after this I better stay away slowly from Manda ?. The thought continued to be reflected in my head during my trip home. But immediately the thought was diverted because upon arrival at home there was already a father who seemed to be waiting for my return.

At first he looked relaxed while reading the newspaper in the front seat of the house, but his eyes suddenly became sharp when he realized my arrival. I walked towards him to kiss his hand and say hello. I then said my greetings in a friendly tone :

"Assamualaikum sir, Ray's coming home" I said as I kissed his hand.

The father then replied with a firm tone while standing from his seat:

"Waalaikumsallam, later after you change clothes, meet the father at the dinner table ya."

I could only answer him in a polite tone while looking at the father by saying :

"Well, sir, Ray's gonna see you at the dinner table after changing."

He just cleared his throat for a moment and continued his steps into the house. Haunted by the feeling of worry I tried to take a deep breath to calm down and then follow the steps of the father into the house. He sat down at the dinner table while I went into my room and changed my uniform for everyday clothes.

I walked out of the room to talk to my dad at the dinner table. The father looked at me with a sharp look when he realized my arrival and immediately said :

"Quick sit! "say the father with a firm tone.

Without refuting I immediately obeyed the father's orders and immediately sat in a chair that was facing the father while slightly bowing my head. Then he threw a letter at the dinner table in front of me just after I put my ass on the chair.

I immediately took a good look at the envelope carefully and completely sanded it with a notification letter from my school. I knew exactly where this conversation was going to lead. Soon my father again said to me with a firm tone :

"So can you explain what that letter means Ray ?"he said, pointing to the envelope in front of me.

"Look sir, this letter is a letter of notification about yesterday's incident" I said in a nervous tone as I ventured to look back at my father.

"So this is the result of your behavior yesterday, yes, then did you know the contents of the letter?"said the father in a serious tone while still looking at me with a sharp look.

Being stared at like that by my father then made my nyaliku shrink and unable to look at him again, so immediately I bowed my head while saying :

"It looks like Ray, already knows the contents of this letter sir." I said in a nervous tone.

"First Ray wants to apologize sir because he has not been able to make your father happy with his mother, but instead made a act like this." I said in a polite tone while holding the feeling of guilt to the father.

Then he cleared his throat for a moment and said to me:

"So this means you're ready to take your punishment, right? " say the father in a serious tone.

"Signallah Ray is ready sir, this is a mistake because Ray himself really" I said with a polite tone by staring firmly at the father.

"Well if so as your punishment Ray, your allowance next month I cut fifty percent yes." said the father in a firm tone while emphasizing his last words.

In my heart I said:

"Hemm, it looks like next month I'll start bringing mother-made supplies. Because my allowance is definitely not enough to buy lunch in the cafeteria." I muttered inwardly thinking about my lunch problem next month.

But thinking about it made me realize the loss of the figure of the mother who usually always welcomed me when I got home every afternoon. Because the curiosity that peaked made me immediately ask the father by saying :

"Oh yes sir, by the way where did you go?, where was it not at home?"

"Your mother went to see her former college friend who is now seriously ill in the hospital."

"Oh that's it, sir, continued the mother went on board what sir? "

"So he left in his cement car that both want to look too."

"What time did you go there, sir? "

"Your mother is very upset about half an hour ago Ray, so chances are they will come home ba'da maghrib later" said the father in a relaxed tone explaining when the mother went to visit her friend.

"But did you know about this letter, sir? "say me nervously to my father.

"Huh, haduh you this is asking what the hell Ray, rich childhood is still asked, yes surely your mother knows it!, because father dapet this letter from your mother really."said the father with an annoyed tone to hear my question which he thought was not good quality.

"Oh, yes sir once Ray permission to go to the room to pray ashar yes. "say me in a polite tone while starting to walk away from the dining table.

He just cleared his throat for a moment in response to my last words, he then took back the suspension notice and immediately walked to his room.

While I then took ablution water and prepared to perform Ashar prayers in my room. But when I was about to pass through Nia's room, suddenly the door of her room opened and Nia came out of there in her everyday dress.

Our views met for a few minutes. However, somehow the way he looked at me was very different to the way he looked at me this morning.
