Miss Kissable & Mr. Strawberry

The Trial and the Defense

"YES..!!" sergeant Alex was angry. he looked at Kenzo, his veins tightened and his hands clenched tightly.

Kenzo grunted softly, he tried to calm himself down. If not, then there will be one more person ready to hit him. Kenzo changed his face to become calmer, and patted Alex on the shoulder as he said..

"Pak Bayu just misunderstood, Al. You think I can take that to Kayla?"

Kenzo's seemingly calm reaction and friendly claps make Alex think and begin to control himself. If Mr. Bayu misunderstands, it makes sense. Alex knew Kenzo loved Kayla as much as his own brother, and it was impossible for Kenzo to do something like that. But.. how can Mr Bayu misunderstand if nothing happens?

"Kenzo can't be trusted. If I didn't find the evidence myself, I wouldn't take this step!" said Mr. Bayu dominates.

Alex was confused.

"It's unclear evidence that makes Mr. Bayu misunderstand" Kenzo said.

"I think there's a misunderstanding here sir, Kenzo can't possibly hurt Kayla, let alone commit a fatal mistake" Alex said.

"You're defending the wrong people, Al. You should be able to see how close Kenzo is to Kayla, I'm sure you can realize something strange. They are hiding something serious lately." said Mr. Bayu again.

Alex frowned, "Hidden something serious? Something weird?" he murmured in the heart.

"Gue thinks you know the problem. But it's good that Kayla doesn't talk to you, which means she's really keeping my image" Kenzo told Alex.

What the hell, what the hell, Alex so more confused. While Bima, Sandi, and Vicky have warmed up.

"You think what Al, you could be this jerk!" gertak Bima's.

"Don't interfere if you don't know anything!" kenzo Sahut.

"Gak papa if you still doubt, I'm ready to make him stand up." said Sandi while installing the horses, gritting his fingers.

"Don't hesitate Al, if Pak Bayu says there is evidence that means this arrogant person who plays behind your back!" Vicky took part.

"Owh. okay if you guys fight! Go ahead, I'm not afraid, you guys think I'm getting diginiin!" Challenge Kenzo to anger.

"Pak Bayu, congratulations you managed to make the situation so this way. I don't like anyone who meddles in my personal affairs, let alone Kayla's self-esteem" Kenzo said staring scornfully at Mr. Bayu.

"Pure you!! Speaking of Kayla's self-esteem but you yourself ruined her?!" sergeant Bima beaver.

"I'm here to keep Kayla's pride. You don't talk like you're right and I'm evil, Kenzo!" Mr. Bayu went up again.

Kenzo chuckled, "I should have talked to you. Mr. Bayu is too proterktif, too quick to conclude, I regret you can misjudge me, even more assess Kayla."

"Shut up!!" Sandi pulled up Kenzo's collar and prepared to hit him in the face.

Kenzo took Sandi's hand off her shirt while laughing amusedly and disparagingly, he didn't expect the matter to be this sinister. Bima, Sandi, and Vicky who do not know anything about this also judge him?

"What is your business, why follow the sewot as well" said Kenzo interrupted by his laughter.

"What's this?" a heavy voice suddenly appeared domineering.

A middle-aged man, with glasses perched on his nose entered with two students following him from behind.

"Sir Rudi?"

Yes, Mr. Rudi the teacher of BK.

"I got a report that Kenzo had a fight with Mr. Bayu. But there are others here too"

"It must be this geeky two who reported" Kenzo murmured inwardly as he glanced at the two students standing behind Mr. Rudi.

"All of you, come to my room!" tell Mr. Rudi.

"Pak Bayu." added Mr. Rudi, making Pak Bayu bowed because of embarrassment and regret with this incident.

... ....

... ....

... ....

"Sir Bayu, I regret having to hear a case involving you, and having to convict you like this. It's embarrassing" said Mr. Rudi.

Currently they are in the room BK, Mr. Bayu and Kenzo sitting side by side in front of Mr. Rudi. Alex, Bima, Sandi, and Vicky stood by them. This is like a nightmare for Mr. Bayu, as a teacher of course he feels he does not have to be in this situation. For Kenzo, this is ordinary, he is used to being tried because he likes to fight, but this time it is a little different.he must be careful, the secret must be safe, lest anyone know his personal problems. Hopefully, this case will end quickly, so that no one will suspect himself especially until someone digests the truth.

"So, who wants to be clear?" ask Mr. Rudi.

Mr. Bayu was silent, while Kenzo waited for him to speak up. But it seems that Mr. Bayu is reluctant to give a statement, maybe because he does not want Kayla to get involved or to be called here as well.

"It's actually just a misunderstanding, sir. I'm too presumptuous with Mr. Bayu, until it makes Mr. Bayu angry." Kenzo spoke up.

Mr. Bayu is still silent. "Pak Bayu suspects that I committed an act that could tarnish the name of this school. But that's not true, just a misunderstanding sir"

"What kind of work is that?" ask Mr. Rudi.

Kenzo was silent, and no one spoke up. For a while it only happened to glance at each other between them all. So that makes Mr. Rudi upset and confused.

"Just be quiet. If the cause of this fight is just a misunderstanding, why do you hesitate to say Kenzo? And Mr. Bayu, say something that can make me understand the actions of Mr. Bayu in the sports room earlier!"

Still tight. "Pak Bayu knows, Mr. Bayu's actions on Kenzo are not allowed in our school. And for the actions of Mr. Bayu who hit Kenzo, Mr. Bayu's reputation is at stake, it could have been fatal consequences."

"I'm sorry, sir, maybe I'm being outrageous. But I can also state that my actions are a strong rebuke for the mistakes made by Kenzo." explained Mr. Bayu finally.

"I also apologize Sir, I feel disturbed by the actions of Mr. Bayu who previously also spied on me. My personal business has nothing to do with this school in general, and Mr. Bayu in particular. I'm not a good boy, but I can still respect others. Including Mr. Bayu, if he does not hesitate to bring my problems to this point" explained Kenzo firmly.

"What problems, what actions did you do until Mr. Bayu felt he had to act alone without involving me as a BK staff at this school? Tell me what Kenzo is clear about!" firmly Mr. Rudi.

"Sorry sir, I can't say. Because my problem is privacy and family matters, there is nothing to do with school. I can only be mastiin if Pak Bayu's guess is wrong, and I do not tarnish the name of this school." said Kenzo final.

"But I have proof sir, and Kenzo involved a student at this school. That's why I can't just let it go."

Kenzo shifted his body slightly towards Mr. Bayu, he then whispered without turning his head. "My father said you misunderstood me, don't be shy, sir. I won't let Kayla get in trouble because of Pak Bayu's rash actions."

Mr. Bayu was upset. Alex who was right standing behind Kenzo could hear a little Kenzo whisper at Mr. Bayu.

"Sir, I think it's better not to prolong this matter. Partially if it is true that it is a personal problem that has nothing to do with the school, it is not good we throw in this trial. The point is that they misunderstand between them. So end this trial sir." Alex raise the voice.

"But Mr. Bayu said Kenzo involved a student here, who is he? I think we should hear clarification from the student directly, at least this misunderstanding can be resolved" said Mr. Rudi.

"My father said, sir, the problem attributed to Mr. Bayu is my family's problem. And the student that Mr. Bayu meant was part of my family, sir. He can't be an excuse or should be involved here."

Mr. Bayu snorted annoyed, Kenzo is very good at kink. Actually Mr. Bayu is also not too sure of his assumptions, which is why Mr. Bayu made sure by asking Kenzo directly, despite getting evidence. But even after asking Kenzo directly, the boy gave an ambiguous answer instead. But Mr. Bayu is convinced of Kenzo's position, if his assumption is correct.

After hearing the information from each side, Mr. Rudi silently thought. Confused to decide how, because the problem that became the motive of this fight is not clear. And now Alex has asked him to end this trial right here.

"For your school-shattering fights, I must take action. Kenzo, you're suspended for a week. And Mr. Bayu, according to my authority and the provisions that apply in this school.you are suspended until an unspecified time." said Mr. Rudi finally.

"Wait for sir, here Mr. Bayu is wrong and attacked Kenzo first. Mr. Bayu who started the quarrel, and Kenzo who was harmed. Why was Kenzo suspended?" sergeant Alex.

Kenzo raised his eyebrows in surprise, he turned his head towards Alex. Why Alex protested, even though Kenzo just casually responded to the punishment imposed for him. Mr. Rudi also became confused after hearing Alex's rebuttal. Mr. Bayu, Bima, Sandi, and Vicky also felt disbelief over Alex's defense of Kenzo.

"But they hit each other right, so it should be fair if I punish both" replied Mr. Rudi.

"But sir, Kenzo was defending himself. I saw Mr. Bayu almost hit Kenzo with a baseball bat, if I did not nyamperin them earlier maybe Mr. Bayu actually ventured his anger the same Kenzo. Fatal right sir, if that happens, should Kenzo also be punished?"

"Alex, you want the problem to be quite up here right, fine. I understand that. But if I only punish one of them, it means I'm not fair. What the other teachers said later, and the children must also protest. Kenzo and Mr. Bayu were fighting in the school environment, my neighborhood of responsibility. And my decision was to suspend them both. I don't think there will be any teachers or students who object to me passing the sentence, and I hope you won't either."

"I accept it, sir." replied Kenzo who was caught off guard by the boring chatter of boring people, and in a boring situation like this.

... ....

... ....

... ....

After waiting anxiously in front of the BK room, Kayla was finally relieved to see the door of the room open and Kenzo appeared out of it. Jessica who also heard the news of the fight also waited for Kenzo.

"Ken!" kayla and Jessica together.

"Gesrek you, dapet punishment instead happy!" gerutu Sandi annoyed at Kenzo's behavior.

"You're punished, honey?" jessica asked in panic.

"No papa, I'm used to being this way."

"Regularly?! You fight with teacher, what the hell. It's also her face, my goodness, until it's bruised." Jessica grumbled.

"Eh wait! Just a minute!" Kenzo turned around, following Alex who was walking in the opposite direction to him. Jessica and Kayla were just looking from afar.

"Al!" Alex looked over and stopped.

"Thanks. But you shouldn't have to belain me." said Kenzo somewhat forced.

Alex raised his eyebrows. Actually Kenzo prestige thanks Alex, but anyway Alex helped him when Pak Bayu almost hurt him earlier. And in the trial, Alex defended him. Though the words thrown by Mr. Bayu to corner Kenzo enough to provoke anger. Bima, Sandi, and Vicky were just up the wind, but Alex wasn't. Wasn't he supposed to be the first one to get distracted by the bad stuff Kayla was involved in?

"Why do you believe me? You don't want to be confused with Pak Bayu's talk?"

Bima, Sandi, and Vicky stared in annoyance at Kenzo and Alex alternately.

"Gue just doesn't want to take a wrong step. And unfortunately, I trust you more than Mr. Bayu" replied Alex.

"Why? Don't you know my nature, you don't suspect, what if you're wrong?"

"Damn it!! Look Al, you're still getting him too?" gertak Bima's.

"Relax Bim!" reproach Alex.

"Waras not really you?! After hearing all that Mr. Bayu said, you can still think about making the tinbangin nih son?!" timpal Vicky's.

"Open your eyes bro, you still love Kayla??" Sandi was no less upset.

Alex snorted, "Gue doesn't know between you and Mr. Bayu who's the real one. But I believe in Kayla, and that's reason enough for me to believe in you too."

To be honest Kenzo was amazed by Alex's thoughts, but the prestige of him showed it. He still put on a song expression, which made Bima, Sandi, and Vicky even more upset to turn their faces away from him. But Alex was not bothered by the reaction of the three friends, instead he gave them an understanding so as not to rashly conclude something, so as not to trigger a mistake. And Alex also teaches them not to be prejudiced against anyone including to people who look bad in front of him though.

Kenzo just found out, Alex turned out to be that wise guy. Despite the violent and bad behavior in the past that Kenzo heard from Jessica, she has now changed. His attitude now is much different from his attitude, now Kenzo understands why Kayla can fall in love with Alex.

And Alex and Kenzo learned a valuable lesson, that when we want to change and leave behind a dark past, with real intentions, then we can. If Alex can, why can't Kenzo! Yes, it's time for Kenzo to change, it's time for Kenzo to improve himself and leave his cradling foya-foy period behind. It is time for Kenzo to learn to be more mature and serious about his life. Even now, it's too late for Kenzo, because his life has changed before he realizes his mistake.

Now there was no time for Kenzo to delay or wait. Since there is a responsibility that he carries now, there are people who need it right now even need it for a lifetime. He, should be Kenzo's priority from now on.

Kenzo also learned from Alex that trust in love is important. Love is not only about feelings, but also needs to be accompanied by common sense, to keep the relationship in order to stay good. Like Alex did today, Alex said..

".. I believe in Kayla, and that's reason enough for me to believe in you too."

"Why are you planga-plongo?" alex asked confusedly seeing Kenzo speechless.

Kenzo gasped, he just regained consciousness. After noticing Alex advising his friends, Kenzo drowned with his musings instead. He realized that Jessica and Kayla were by his side.

"What the hell is it?" ask Jessica who just followed with Kayla.

Kenzo and Alex glanced at each other somewhat confusedly, as they both did not want these two girls to know their problems. While Bima, Sandi, and Vicky inching away from them after getting scattered from Alex. Because Alex also did not want his three friends to open their mouths, which could later make the problem so runyam.

"Emm.. no papa kok dear, me to UKS yuk!" kenzo said as he touched the corner of his injured lip.

"OK" said Jessica briefly.

"Wait on! Answer Ken first, what is it, why can you fight with Mr Bayu?" sergeant Kayla.

"lyas. I won't do your wounds until you answer, why are you fighting with Mr Bayu?" Jessica is also strong.

Kenzo and Alex glanced at each other. "There's nothing." Alex replied with a smile.

Of course Kayla and Jessica don't believe that. A fight is impossible if no problem triggers it. Let alone this quarrel between the disciple and the teacher, there was no way there would be nothing.

"Ken?" ask Kayla.

"Well Alex said there was nothing, it meant nothing." replied Kenzo rather stiffly.

Kayla chuckles, "You guys are so compact gini anyway, don't want us to know the problem. Little boys also understand that there's something you're hiding."

Kenzo and Alex glanced at each other. "Don't anyone want to tell you that?" urged Jessica.

The two men were silent, so Kayla felt funny herself seeing their behavior.

"Hmm. but I like you guys compact" said Kayla with a big smile, making Kenzo and Alex glanced at each other while frowning amusedly.

After school, Alex wants to talk to Kayla. Yes, inquired about the matter that confused her this morning. However, Alex feels uneasy after hearing Mr. Bayu's statement about Kayla. Alex believes Kenzo won't treat Kayla like that, but there must be something going on that Mr. Bayu suspects Kenzo and Kayla. Even Mr. Bayu said there was evidence that made him dare to judge Kenzo himself. All of that kept spinning in Alex's mind, his curiosity and anxiety drove him to ask Kayla directly. But Alex was still worried, afraid Kayla would be offended. he was afraid to make a mistake by discussing about it, because it was when in the room BK Kenzo had said that he did not want Kayla to know the case.

"What's Al, he said he wanted something?" kayla's voice breaks Alex's daydream.

"Emh. yes" said Alex.

They're sitting in Alex's car. They were still in front of the school, because Alex thought he would not be able to focus on driving before the curiosity that disturbed him was answered.

"What do you want, how do you doubt that?" confused Kayla.

"What about Kenzo's quarrel with Mr Bayu earlier?"

"yes." Alex replied without hesitation this time.

Kayla looks excited, "What's going on between them Al, you're there, doesn't that mean you know what they're fighting about?"

Tok tok tok tok

The car's glass is knocked, making Alex and Kayla turn to the origin of the sound. Kenzo's there, he's knocking on Alex's closed windshield.

Alex opened the car. "Hmm. Just talked about it." said Kayla.

"By the way I'm in the back..? Heh, tell me directly, I'm here." said Kenzo joke.

"What's wrong?" ask Alex about Kenzo knocking on the windshield.

"Gue nebeng home. Anterin to Kayla's house" Kenzo said with a grin.

"Tok Kayla's house?" confused Alex.

Kayla smiled broadly, Kenzo wanted to go to Kayla's house which meant that Kenzo was ready to meet Chika.

"Let's ride!" kayla exclaimed enthusiastically, leaving Alex speechless while Kenzo got straight into the car.

"Emm.. I'm sorry Al, don't you?" Kayla realized that she had allowed Kenzo to get into Alex's car without the driver's permission.

"Oh no papa" said Alex relaxed.

Along the way, Kenzo told me about the chronology of his quarrel with Mr. Bayu. la very smoothly tell a story, without anything he covered up. Alex was surprised, it was in Kenzo school like covering up the problem but now he even bluntly revealed it to Kayla. Though the trigger for the quarrel itself will involve the name Kayla. And how did Kayla react?

Maybe from their chat Alex will get an answer from the curiosity that disturbs him, without having to ask and offend Kayla.
