Kayla walked around the merchandise shelf in the mall, looking over and looking for something she wanted to buy.
He faintly heard the voices of some people who were debating something. Feeling familiar with one of the voices she heard, Kayla became curious and began to step towards the origin of the sound.
Kayla stops her steps when she sees Alex arguing with a mother and a father. Kayla hid behind a nearby shelf, peeking at the three arguing people.
"It's none of your business!" said Alex ketus.
"Ck..once nurut lah kalo arguablyin" The father was seen beginning to get upset.
"Make your good, son." said the mother.
Alex seemed not interested in replying to the words of the mother or father, he chose to leave there without looking at the face of the mother or father. But the mother held Alex's arm, holding him back from leaving.
Alex violently jerked the mother's hand until it was released. "Udah said don't be pretentious to care! Take care of your own business!"
Kayla was wide in disbelief, Alex yelling at the mother. Kayla thinks Alex is being mean and mean at school and at school, because she hates women. But this, even mothers he snapped as well.
After snapping at the mother Alex just passed by. The mother was silent, she must have been shocked. Then the mother tried to chase Alex.
"Wait son. Dengerin mama first.. Al.."
Whahuh? The mama? Is that Alex's mother? And Alex just talked rough with him? Kayla shook her head in disbelief, even her eyes bulged and her mouth opened when she heard that.
How could Alex treat her own mother like that. Rude words and yelling at parents themselves, is not it worth mentioning iniquity. Didn't Alex have any feelings until he could do that. Kayla did not think.
... ________________...
Kayla kept staring at her mom all night. He still thought about what he saw this afternoon at the mall.
Mami who had finished eating would move on, mami frowned when she saw Kayla's ambiguous gaze.
"Why baby?"
"Eh, no Papa Mi." Kayla gasps at the sound of mami.
"Mi?"
"Yes baby?"
"What all this time.. Lily ever talk rough with mommy?" asked Kayla doubtfully.
Mami looked at Kayla's confused eyes. "What are you talking about?"
"Did Lily ever hurt my mom?"
"Lily... Why do you, baby? You are my favorite child, the kindest and most polite child. Where have you ever hurt mami."
Kayla sighed while smiling faintly.
"So Lily is wrong, sorry Lily is Mi!"
Mami smiled sincerely as she looked at her daughter. "Mami must be sorry you baby, besides you don't make anything wrong. What do you really think, honey? Any issues?"
"There's no problem. Heaven under the soles of the mother's feet right Mi, Lily does not want to be a child of disobedience if Lily ever hurt mami."
Mami chuckled as she shook her head "Dear mami's son." he said as he moved and rubbed his daughter's head.
"Mommy first, baby.." Mami then passed away leaving Kayla.
Kayla went to wash the dishes, after finishing Kayla following mom sitting on the sofa. An envelope with gold engraving on its surface was placed on the table, out of curiosity Kayla grabbed it.
"What is this, Mi?"
"That's an invitation, dear.." said mami with sparkling eyes.
Kayla opened the envelope and pulled out an invitation card from it.
"Invitation from Bos mami, the event of giving up some of his wealth and business assets to his son Bos." continued mami.
"Wow..the asset handover event!" kayla muttered in amazement.
"Yes, as well as the opening of a new restaurant as well. Said mami's friends who are old employees, the boss's son is still in high school, dear."
"Still in High School, Mi? It's great to be given such assets and responsibilities."
"Dear, he's the only son of the boss. Hence the Boss is not present at this official event, all business associates and employees are invited."
Kayla nodded as she read the invitation. "It's next week." Kayla murmured.
"Dear, you are my mommy.."
"Lilly?"
"He'em.., the invitation is for two dear people, your partner is just you. Want huh?"
"Emm...." Kayla put her index finger in the chin looking to think.
"Yes dear.later mami deh know the same daughter of the cool boss mami." rayu mami.
"Ih.. mami what the hell.. mami just don't know him yet, do you want to know Lily..!?" chirps Kayla.
Both of them laughed.
... ________________...
Kayla just got to school and she walked down the corridor to her class.
"That's Ms Weni?" kayla murmured when she saw the figure of Bu Weni walking from the opposite direction. When the second step had approached Kayla greeting Bu Weni.
"Good morning, ma'am" Kayla grabbed Bu Weni's hand and kissed her.
"Eh Kayla. good morning" said Bu Weni.
"Can you help me?"
"Can mom, what do you need help with?"
"Thank you, yeah! Come with me" Kayla nodded.
Bu Weni walked ahead of Kayla, and Kayla followed behind her.
"Actually, I asked Adit to call you, but it turns out that Aditnya has not come" said Bu Weni while walking.
"It's actually the class president's job, but you're the one who changed it, right?"
"Yes, mom. I'm happy to help mom" Kayla said, expanding her smile.
After arriving at the teacher's room, Bu Weni handed Kayla a pile of books, and asked her to bring the pile of books to class.
Since the book Kayla was carrying was quite numerous and heavy, she had difficulty and her balance was limited. Suddenly someone nudged her from behind, making Kayla fall and the pile of books she was carrying scattered on the floor.
Gubrakk...
"Aww.." - Kayla. He looked up at the person who had just grabbed him.
"Alex?"
Alex just rolled his eyes at the lazy Kayla, he then passed by in a hurried pace.
When Kayla picked up the scattered books, there was a hand that helped her. Kayla looks over, "Adit?"
"Let me help, this should also be my job" he said, then chuckled.
"Thank you, Bu Weni yelled at you.."
"I know, but there was something really important and I couldn't delay, so I was late."
"By the way, thank you for changing me, hehee.." continued Adit while grinning.
Kayla pursed her lips and frowned to show that she was pretending to be upset.

Alex walked quickly and hurriedly while clenching both of his hands. When he reached his destination he immediately attacked his target.
Previously Alex was told by Sandi, that Vicky and his girlfriend, Lira, were fighting, then Reza came and participated in debating Vicky. Reza likes Lira but Lira prefers Vicky to be her boyfriend. When Lira and Vicky are in trouble Reza takes the opportunity to show Lira that he is better than Vicky, by defending her.
Vicky who had been ignited by anger then hit Reza, until there was a fight between Vicky and Reza.
Be now, Alex came to defend his friend, he beat up Reza. And inevitably Reza also retaliated against Alex, even though he knew the consequences if dealing with Alex.
Of course Reza who is only exorbitant style but his ability is subpar it can not beat Alex, let alone beat, offset his attack is difficult. Finally Reza was knocked down with battered conditions.

After the first lesson was over and the students each walked across the classroom corridor, Kayla and Nia walked towards the cafeteria. Know-how they saw many students crowding and there was a commotion near the XI IPA class, because they were curious to approach.
Precisely in front of the XI IPA class, students and students seemed to be jostling around the classroom door. Kayla and Nia could only look up by raising their heads and tiptoe to elevate their standing position in order to see what was happening.
"What's wrong Ni?"
Some people were seen coming out of the crowd, probably because they had already seen what was happening inside and their curiosity was answered, so they chose to leave the place.
"Eh, wait. What the hell is going on?" nia asked one of the students who had just come out.
"Sherly, she's bullied the same P-four. Kasian he cried in the dalem." replied the student.
"Sherly??" mummy Nia couldn't believe it.
Aside from Jessica, Sherly is one of the most popular girls in school. He is the son of a successful businessman whose business is international. He is known to be arrogant, because he likes to show off his expensive and branded goods to everyone, which he said to be souvenirs from his parents who often go home for business abroad. He has many friends, according to Nia anyway, his friends are only using Sherly, because he is rich and likes to be praised, and Sherly often treat them shopping. He and his friends are fanatical fans of Pak Bayu, meaning they are very fond of Pak Bayu and like to look for attention with the handsome sports teacher.
Nia was quite shocked when she heard Sherly being bullied. So, that cocky girl got bullied by Alex and her friends? What mistake did he make that made Alex punish him?
"Miss?" Kayla patted Nia's shoulders looking dreamy.
"Why you? Who is Sherly? How are you surprised to hear that?"
"Sherly's like Jessica, which means she's a popular girl here too. Not as popular as Jessica, but she's also quite influential."
Nia grimaced while shaking her head before she continued her words. "She must be in complete shock right now because she's being bullied until she's mobbed like this."
"Kasian.." - Kayla. "We're samperin yuk!"
"Huh? the samperin? Why Kay. don't have to ah" said Nia.
"You know, we'll see how he is"
"Kayla, a cocky girl like she's just gonna get bullied once in a while, let her realize"
"It! anyway" Kayla's sergeant was getting upset, he then went to jostle with the other students to see Sherly at the victim of bullying.
How surprised Kayla was when she saw Sherly's dire situation, but people even made it a spectacle, Kayla so did not have the heart.
"Dissolve everything.bubar..!" yelp Kayla while swinging her hand so everyone stops watching Sherly.
Sherly, who had been looking down, now looked up to find the person who had just raised his voice to save her from the disgusting, cynical, and ridiculing gazes, an extremely embarrassing event for Sherly.
"You.. all right?" kayla hesitates while touching Sherly's shoulder, even though Kayla knows Sherly is not doing well. The look on the face Sherly showed explained it.
He just stared at Kayla with his red eyes and his face soaked with sweat and tears.
Kayla noticed Sherly's condition, the uniform she wore looked chaotic and discolored, red color along her clothes from the waist to the skirt to even her feet. He looked like he had just been doused with red water in the middle of his body. So that the water flowed along his feet even to his shoes. And again, this red-colored water looks like real blood, even smelling the same.
"It's blood?? This much blood is not possible, is it her menstrual blood? How could this happen?" kayla murmured in her heart.
Sherly sits on her lap with her body bent and head bowed deeply before Kayla comes. Sherly's seat which is in front and at the right end closest to the door makes it easy for people who crowd her to see her condition up close and clearly.
Kayla was really concerned about her situation. Once Alex and his friends humiliated a girl like this.
"Thank you.." she looked at Kayla's eyes.
Kayla sat next to him.
"I don't know what's going on, but I can help you" Kayla said carefully.
Sherly nodded quickly, as if she really needed help at this moment.
"But now we have to go to the toilet first."
Sherly rolled her eyes. "No, I'm embarrassed." he panicked.
"You need to change your clothes and clean your body"
"I can't go anywhere with this kind of situation..!" frustrated mouth.
Kayla is speechless, thinking of something to take Sherly out without having to embarrass Sherly. Kayla looked around.
He moved when he got an idea. Kayla grabbed the bed sheet of the classroom window and took it off. He then wrapped the bed sheet into Sherly's body to cover part of Sherly's bloodied body.
"What the hell is this?" lamented Sherly, he was seen ilfil and uncomfortable when Kayla wrapped bed linen to his body.
"No papa, the important thing is that the blood is covered." Kayla persuaded.
Forced Sherly to comply, he nodded.
The two walk out of the classroom, initially Sherly stops her steps in the doorway, she feels very embarrassed to see people. Then Kayla embraced him tightly and slowly herded her heavy steps. "Don't care about anything else, the important thing is that you clean up first" Kayla whispered.
After arriving at the toilet, Kayla gives Sherly her spare uniform, a uniform she keeps in her locker, if at any time she will need it if her uniform is littered by Alex and his friends.
After Sherly cleans herself up and looks better, Kayla asks him to talk, asking him about the chronology of the new events. At first Sherly hesitates to share with Kayla, as they did not know each other before. Sherly only knows Kayla as a shitty girl who likes to get close to Mr. Bayu.
But then, Sherly thinks only Kayla cares about her when things are like this. How are his friends who have always liked to cuddle with him and always praise him? Turns out they weren't there when Sherly needed them.
"Today I used a new bag, the bag was a limited edition newly purchased nyokap yesterday in England." Sherly begins the story.
"And this morning I gave it to my classmates, I ngizinin they held my bag and they messed with it bag. No problem with that, it's normal. But you know that bag accidentally threw Alex in the face and he was immediately angry."
Sherly was silent for a while before sighing and continuing her story. "Gue got angry with him, maybe it was my fault until he made me feel so embarrassed." The look on his face and his tone began to change.
"I was in a hurry to the toilet, after I came out of the toilet and went to class, I suddenly slipped on the doorstep, I fell. What made me shocked was that behind me there was a basin filled with blood, a lot. I immediately fell over the basin, and...." He shook his head and closed his eyes, apparently unable to continue his words.
Kayla rubbed her shoulders, channeling the empathy Kayla had.
"Gue was immediately mated and looked at with disgust as everyone. Alex is as good as my nyemperin gang and ngancem if I dare to repeat my mistakes, they will make me more embarrassed again" he said lirih ending his story.
"Excession!" furious Kayla. "But, is that really blood?"
"Don't know, whether it's blood or not, the squirming must be disgusted and horrified. I'm disgusted myself."
"Yaudah, don't think about it anymore" Kayla said, looking with pity at Sherly.
"Pliss I don't like to be seen like that. I may not be able to reply Alex, but I won't let anyone else do me."
Kayla nodded. "I love your spirit" he said, smiling. Sherly returned Kayla's smile.
"Thank you, yeah.."
Prak Prakk Prakk Prak
The sound of applause distracts the two. It turned out that Alex and his friends were already standing in front of the two.
"This is the hero?" ledek Bima while looking down at Kayla.
"You want to be the wonderwoman of your bad luck?!" timpal Sandi's.
"By the way, I think he should be given the award Al." Vicky also chimed in.
Alex who had just smiled smirk then came forward, looking at Kayla sharply. "Surely bro, surely I give you an award."
Seeing Alex approaching, Kayla moved on, stepping forward to face Alex fearlessly. Alex stopped his steps, two steps ahead of Kayla who seemed ready with the action. Alex crossed his arms to his chest, and Kayla did the same.
"God! really brave for girls. Nantangin huh?" inner Alex.
"I have to admit, you're brave enough. Not bosen bullied? Not kapok?"
"Well I ask you back, aren't you the boss of bullying people every day? You realize, if your actions are actually not only losing the person you bully, but also losing yourself?"
Alex chuckles, "Don't be smart if you yourself are powerless when bullied!"
Kayla smiled slanted. "Trus do you feel the best? All this time you are free to do whatever you like, without you realizing that it can destroy yourself. What good are you doing to embarrass Sherly?" kayla said as she stared at Alex sharply.
"Gue is free and can say anything, what else is just a nyingkirin babes like you guys." he said song by jerking the index finger to his thumb trivial.
"So low are girls in your eyes?"
Alex rolled his eyes.
"Heh, obviously. A man who can't reform his own mother, can't possibly reform any girl."
Guaaarrr.....
Alex flinched, his chest instantly heating up like a coarse dysentile. Alex instantly changed his facial expression from a flat and indifferent one to a tense one full of emotions. Kayla's way of talking is quite flat and relaxed, but the words she put out are actually able to trigger Alex's anger.
Kayla may involve Alex's mother in this, not knowing that Alex can least bear to discuss something related to the woman who has failed him.
With his hands firmly clenched, face flushed and jaw hardened, Alex clasped Kayla's shoulders with both hands that had strained the veins. Kayla gasped, but she was undaunted. He swallowed his saliva, minimizing his shock at Alex's actions.
"How dare you!!" alex snapped while pushing Kayla's body up to Kayla's back against the wall. Alex clasped Kayla's shoulder more firmly.
"Aaahkk." screamed Kayla due to the violent impact of her back body on the wall.
Alex's breathing was increasingly hunting in rhythm with his wild thumping heartbeat, even Kayla could feel Alex's breathing gushing across her face. Unfortunately, in this close position, Alex even smelled the tranquilizing aroma again from Kayla's body.
Amidst his almost uncontrollable anger, Alex loosens his grip on Kayla's shoulder, as it is carried away by the peace of the scent inhaled by her sensitive sense of smell.
If Mama is his weakness in self-control, then Strawberries are a force capable of controlling him.
If Mama is the trigger of her anger, then Strawberries are the tranquilizer, the fire-reliever of anger in her soul.
