Mentari in the Night Sky

The Past: The Beginning

"I'll go to the VIP room first. Arthur, take care of Zeta" William said as soon as he got out of the car.

"Without you say, I'll take care of her."

Arthur immediately pulled my hand away from William who was still staring at us until he could no longer see us because of the obstructing wall. I just followed Arthur's footsteps, the steps that adjusted my steps. I wonder what kind of woman can melt her heart. I would be so jealous of that woman.

For the first time, I could also see the bodyguards who had been guarding me all this time. They are no longer hiding. It seems like Father gave them a new order, one that might affect my interactions with others.

"Why do I feel if something bad is going to happen to me seeing how dad and William react?" ask me to open the conversation.

"William knows if Ken contacted any disciplinary members who hated the Allison Family. Ken, he set up a plan to hurt you."

"..."

"Zeta, how far does Ken have to go until you hate him?"

"I can't hate him."

"I thought your heart belonged to Alvin."

"My heart remains mine forever, my sister. Even so, my heart is now slowly moving towards Brother Alvin. But the memories in my heart mostly contained Ken. To me he's still my childhood friend."

Someone pulled my body as soon as my feet stepped into the classroom. A person who gently pulled my body into his arms. Someone who said it would be a possessive big brother to me for a while.

"Will you accompany me for a moment?" tanyakanya.

"Did something happen in the classroom?" ask Arthur.

"Steph and Carol are cleaning Zeta's chalkboard and desk."

I pulled my body from his arms. Without needing any further explanation, I already knew the current state of the classroom. Alvin will no longer stand in my way even if I am currently stepping my feet into class. I decided to sit leaning against the front wall of the class in contrast to Arthur having gone straight into the classroom once I heard Alvin say. Alvin sat leaning against the wall across from where I was sitting, making us face to face.

I watched his hands get dirty with ink. I don't think it's just my two best friends who are cleaning the classroom. The man in front of me also cleaned it up, even it seemed like he was the one who cleaned up the most mess that Ken might have made. I brought my body closer to him and took out a handkerchief from my shirt pocket. I poured water over the handkerchief and rubbed it into Alvin's hand. The hand is bigger than my hand. Alvin just silently watched the handkerchief in my hand start to sweep away the dirt in his hand.

"What should I do if I can't wait for you?" the question made me stop what I was doing.

"I'm sorry."

We fell silent again, filling the hallway with silence. I went back to cleaning Alvin's hands. He immediately grabbed my hand as soon as I finished cleaning his hand. Her big hand completely covered my entire tiny hand. He took something from inside his bag with his other hand. Something I know very well.

"William told me that you also like Botan Rice Candy, especially when you don't know your mood" he said, giving Botan Rice Candy to my hand.

"Why do you like this candy?" continued.

"When it was my uncle's death, I didn't know what kind of emotions I should show and nor did I know what kind of feelings filled my heart. At that time, my grandmother gave me this candy and made me realize the feeling of loss due to my uncle's death. From then on, whenever I didn't know what I was feeling, I would eat this candy. Although there were times when I ate it for no reason."

"I'm going to ask for an extra seat" said Arthur, angering me to let go of Alvin's hand.

"Sister Arthur?" call me as soon as Arthur tries to run towards the teacher's room.

"I don't want you to sit on that chair and that table" he replied before I could ask my question.

"Then Ken will make it worse" I replied after guessing what happened.

Hearing my words, Arthur immediately stopped what he was trying to do and let me into the classroom. Stephanie immediately ran towards me and hugged me. A warm enough hug. I walked through the classroom with my eyes to find Caroline because she didn't come running to me and I found 2 other people in this room, Thomas and Nichole.

'Pembully', '******', 'Just turn off!', 'Allison fu*k', 'Go to hell!', 'Zetan \= Zeta + Satan'

Stephanie let go of her embrace and replaced it with a sad look of hers. I just gently rubbed her hair, hinting if I was okay. I thrust my foot towards the window, it seems like all the properties other than the walls in this class contain swear words for me. Only the tables and chairs I was sitting on used permanent markers making it difficult to remove them.

"Wow, it's back to how this room was."

I immediately walked over to Arthur who wanted to hit the owner of the voice. Arthur clenched his hand as soon as I flicked his footsteps toward Ken. His fist grew stronger, making his hand turn pale. I immediately touched the fist, trying to make Arthur calm again even though I knew that ever since Ken slapped me, he had never calmed down and anger had always taken hold of him.

"Aren't you going to regret all this?" alvin asked while sitting in my chair.

"Hahaha, sorry? Why do I regret bullying a bully?"

"Arthur," call me as soon as Arthur gets back to Ken.

"Ken!!!" scream Caroline.

"What's the Chester Family?" ken replied by mentioning the names of the father of the two twin sisters, making Caroline come forward to hit Ken who was directly blocked by Stephanie.

The atmosphere at the moment is really bad. It'll be 8 in the morning and the students will start arriving. I don't want a second time they've witnessed something as embarrassing as this.

"I hope in the future you still have this kind of trust and arrogance,” said Alvin with a face holding back anger.

"What makes Nakamoto's heir so fond of Allison's daughter?"

"Have you really never liked Zeta?"

"You didn't answer my question."

"...."

"Huh, it looks like you won't give me an answer. In the past, in the present, and in the future, you can have Zeta. I don't want a girl like her."

Caroline almost pelt Ken with the eraser she was holding before Nichole finally held him. Nichole immediately took Caroline out of the classroom. Thomas also wanted to take Stephanie out but Stephanie kept shaking her head and clutching my free left hand while my right hand still held Arthur's.

"If so, sign this letter" said Alvin, standing from his seat to where Ken was standing.

"Alvin! What are you doing?!" arthur's yelling made Stephanie tighten her hand.

"I'm making sure in the future this man won't be able to re-enter Zeta's life" Alvin said.

"That's not your right...."

"Are the names of Nakamoto, Elizabeth, Allison, and Edmund not enough to bear witness?" cut Alvin.

Alvin put a piece of paper on the table. He also placed a pen that his father or William used when signing the document. Without a doubt, Ken went straight to the letter. He did not even read further the contents of the letter he had just signed. As soon as he finished signing the letter, Ken once again gave his angry and hateful gaze to me.

Can I give that look to him too?

Alvin walked up to me and gave the letter to me. The letter was not between himself and Ken but between me and Ken. Seeing what Alvin was doing, Arthur immediately gave a relieved look and a small pat to Alvin's shoulder. Alvin just nodded once Arthur's hand touched his shoulder. Now, he thrust a pen at me. I just shook my head.

"I'll sign it at home" I replied.

The five of us, including Thomas, immediately left the classroom. Leaving Ken alone in silence. And leaving Ken full of anger filling this room.

"I hope the confidence and arrogance you have will not attack you in the future" Stephanie said before leaving the room.
