Miss Kissable & Mr. Strawberry

Ill

Kayla opened her eyes slowly and blinked a few times, looking at my mother with sadness. Then Kayla gasped and hurriedly fixed the scarf that wrapped her neck to cover the mark of Alex's giggle yesterday.

Instantly, the mother screamed in shock at Kayla's state, and she grew wide and reflexively put her palm into her mouth to cover her open mouth because she was so shocked.

How not? Kayla's face looked pale, her eyes were soft, and there were a few scratches on her cheeks. Dan, what is that? Kayla was like hiding something behind a scarf wrapped around her neck.

"Darling? You why?" mami asked frantically as she hurried to sit by Kayla's bedside.

Mami held onto Kayla's face and touched Kayla's forehead with the back of her hand. Kayla smiled clumsily.

"Geez, baby. This is your face why? How pale gini, your body is also hot, you have a fever!" mami said after keeping her hands away from Kayla's face, then switched to rubbing the head of her beloved daughter.

"No papa, mi.. Lily's not feeling well."

"Yesterday you said just a little cold, this is how this is so, baby..?" ask mami again while stroking the scratches on Kayla's cheek.

"It's.." Kayla is nervous and confused as to what to answer.

"This.. Lily.mm.. Lily ate the wrong noodles yesterday. Allergies" that's coming out of Kayla's mouth.

Kayla tries to hide her panic-stricken look from her mother to keep her unsuspecting. Anyway mami should not know if this is a scar, Kayla tried to quibble even though she had to lie. Actually Kayla hates lies the most, but she lied to mommy today! Kayla just doesn't want my mom to worry and think.

"Allergy?"

"yes, my mom knows herself if Lily's allergies recur anyway. Lily is carefree.cold.hives, and this yesterday itchy noodles, so Lily scratched deh." continued Kayla while grinning and holding her cheeks.

Mami shook her head as she put her lips together. "Why carded..? It looks like his ex."

"Sorry Mi, what a big gatel.." said Kayla in a spoiled tone.

"You make my mom worry, now you have a fever again. Usually if you are allergic, take sleeping pills, wake up is good."

"Em. this. Lily doesn't know Mi, anyway Lily is still not feeling well." said Kayla without looking at mommy because she hated having to lie.

Mami snorted, "Yaudah, you do not need to go to school first, then mami permission to your teacher. Now you eat first yes, briefly mami take the food. Last night when my mom came home, my mom saw you were sleeping, so my mom didn't wake you up to eat. Sorry, my dear.."

Kayla just smiled in response, after which she passed to the kitchen to get some food.

Kayla did not feel well this morning, actually since last night. Hence Kayla did not move a little from her bed, she had not even eaten since yesterday afternoon. It's not that Kayla is lazy or not hungry, but she's not ***** eating at all after yesterday's after-school incident that left her feeling bad and traumatized. Kayla got a fever because she thought too much about the incident. she tried to forget everything about the bullying she experienced yesterday, forgetting everything about Alex and his reckless actions. he tried to rest his mind and body from the bad things, he closed his eyes but it was very difficult to fall asleep. Even when she came home from work last night, Kayla wasn't able to fall asleep.

Not long after, she came with a bowl in her right hand and a glass of warm water in her left hand.

"It's honey, mommy made you corn soup. Mami does not know if you are sick, mami had made corn soup because yesterday you said if you have a cold, so. good breakfast with corn soup. Uh it turns out that mommy's son has a fever. Sorry well baby, mommy's too busy until she neglects to watch you."

Mami started to spoon her corn soup and pointed it at Kayla's mouth.

"No papa, Mi.. Lily just a little fever, rest is also enough.ntar also healed.." said Kayla before opening her mouth and receiving a mami feed.

After finishing breakfast and taking medicine, Kayla rested again. Mami actually intends not to go to work today because she wants to take care of Kayla. Since then, my mother just fell silent, sitting staring at Kayla and reluctant to leave her, because of worry. But Kayla continues to convince her mother to go to work and says she will be fine alone, especially after eating mami-made soup and resting. Finally, my mother complied with Kayla to go to work, because the office is also a lot of work today and it is difficult actually to ask for permission.

After my mom left, Kayla pensively herself. Actually Kayla really wants to confide in mommy, share her sadness and pain with mom, tell her about all the bad things that she experienced lately.

But then again, Kayla did not want to trouble my mother, making my mother worried and panicked. Kayla does not want to look weak which will also weaken my mother and make my mother remember her weakness in the past. Kayla chose to endure her grief alone, keeping her pain tight. Although he was currently feeling weak and desperate, he remained silent and hid it from his mother.

... ________________...

This morning Alex had felt a dilemma to go to school or not. On the one hand he felt ashamed of what he did yesterday, everyone in the school must have talked about yesterday's incident. Somehow their response would have been if Alex had shown his face at school today. If Alex becomes the subject of gossip and the limelight, it's common, but this time.. Alex will feel uncomfortable because he did make mistakes that he did not deserve to do.

But on the other hand, if Alex doesn't go to school, then they might all think that Alex is embarrassed or scared, and that would look like an oddity and a weakness for him. Though all this time he was respected and feared for his perfection and strength. If until they think Alex has a weakness, then it will be a disgrace for him and greatly affect his reputation and self-esteem.

After a long thought, Alex finally leaves for school.He must make sure people's views towards him do not change, Alex must keep his name in order to remain adored and not underestimated. They must not assume Alex has a reproach that they can later make an opportunity to challenge him. So Alex prefers to put aside his shame and guilt, by showing his usual expression in front of everyone.he should not be seen to change or be affected by yesterday's rather appalling incident, even if everyone would talk about it.

... ________________...

Kayla stared at her reflection in the mirror, touching her cheek which still felt a little sore from the scratch and her neck which was also still painful. she then went out of the room and took the P3K box, which she had lost, he intended to apply the ointment on his neck and jaw pain and stick the plaster on his injured cheek. However, the ointment and plaster she was looking for in the P3K box were missing.

"Well. abis. Forced to buy first." he muttered languidly, while cleaning the P3k box and put it back to its original place. Kayla then went out of the house, to the pharmacy to buy the ointment and plaster she needed.

The buyers at the pharmacy were quite a lot this afternoon and the pharmacy guard was only one person so Kayla had to wait and queue first to buy her ointment and plaster.

A girl came and stood beside Kayla, she was wearing a hoodie-covered High School uniform, she looked restless and hurried. Kayla smiles at him and the girl returns Kayla's smile stiffly, Kayla guesses this girl has a problem that makes her restless, her face looks pale and sweaty. Kayla does not know him but they often meet, because they always ride the same angkot after school.

When it was Kayla's turn, Kayla let the girl next to her first, as she looked impatient and agitated. But the girl hesitated, she refused and let Kayla first, because Kayla had come first. Kayla also mentioned what she wanted to buy, while waiting, Kayla several times glanced at the girl next to her who was standing restlessly while twisting her hands, presumably trying to eliminate her anxiety? Or nervousness? Is he nervous? Sweat kept pouring from his forehead and temples, he was shaking. And Kayla noticed, she seemed to hold back her tears because her eyes looked teary and red, she also continued to bite her lips, her breathing also sounded irregular.

"It's deck!" the mother of the pharmacy guard handed him a clear white crackle containing ointment and a box of plaster.

"Oh, he's Mommy." Kayla gasped a little because she had been paying too much attention to the girl beside her.

As Kayla reached into her purse to take the money and pay for her groceries, the pharmacy keeper asked her what she wanted to buy next to Kayla.

"Would you buy what deck?"

"I-.that's.." he sounded nervous.

"I want to buy. t-test.pack" he continued slowly and sounded shaky.

Degg

Kayla who spent the money and was about to hand it to the mother then fell silent, a little gasp at the words spoken by the girl next to her.

The girl looked uneasy now, she pulled her hoodie hat to hide her face. The Mbak looked frowned confused, then took a sachet testpack requested by the hoodie girl.

After getting what he wanted, the girl rushed to hand over a 5000 piece of money to the Mother and hurriedly left.

"Eh, dek..wait for the change!" mama exclaimed as the hoodie girl moved from the pharmacy.

The girl did not heed the ma'am's call at all, she just left. Leaving Kayla and the madam of the pharmacy guard who was still confused. Kayla then paid for her groceries and went home.

... ....

... ....

... ....

All the way home, Kayla kept thinking about the hoodie girl.

"He bought a testpack?" kayla murmured in her heart.

She's still in high school, Kayla's age. Why did she buy a pregnancy test? It was possible that he bought it for someone else, but from his gurgling, it seemed like he bought the tool for himself. Is he... ??

Kayla's heart immediately beat, imagining what might happen to the girl. Moreover, Kayla had seen the girl's expression, she was pale, nervous, agitated, and trembling. Doesn't that indicate that he's in trouble. He seemed to be frightened, and wanted to immediately confirm something that made him uneasy. Kayla is worried, is it possible that she feels the signs of pregnancy until she buys a testpack? If it's true, it means he's...

Kayla shook her head immediately after that. "No! Think what the hell am I? I can't su'udzhon the same person.

"Hey.. Kayla!" greet Pak Bayu friendly while standing up.

"Pak Bayu"

Mr. Bayu smiled as he handed him a basket filled with fruits. As people usually take when visiting sick people. "Make you"

"Thank you sir." Kayla accepted it awkwardly.

Mr. Bayu looked at Kayla carefully from toe to toe. Kayla who realized it was feeling uncomfortable and tried to distract Mr. Bayu.

"Please sit down, sir!" said Kayla please let me sit first, in a chair located opposite Pak Bayu.

Kayla put a basket of fruit and clear crackles filled with ointment and plaster that she just bought.

"Oh?" Mr. Bayu slightly gasped then sat in his place again.

"How are you Kayla? How are you doing?" ask Pak Bayu even though after seeing the face of Kayla Pak Bayu already know the situation.

"I'm good sir, as you saw.I had a fever, but now it's lightening, just need a rest."

Mr Bayu smiled wryly, Kayla says she's okay? Though Mr. Bayu can see from his face that Kayla has been crying a lot, there are scars on her cheeks and jaw, her eyes and lips are a bit swollen, and the look in her eyes is sweet.

"Pak Bayu is here? Mr Bayu know my house?"

"Kayla, I'm worried about you. Today at school almost everyone is talking about you, and yesterday's incident" said Mr. Bayu with his compassionate gaze.

Kayla just looked down.

"Eat him, after school I came straight here. I want to see your situation directly, I'm afraid you're okay.

"Oh yes, I know your address from the new student form data, at the school office" he continued.

"Kayla, I don't know about yesterday's incident, I only heard it from some students and also teachers." Mr. Bayu let out a long sigh before continuing his words.

"Honestly, I was very surprised to hear that, I was both angry and hurt."

Kayla immediately raised her head when she heard the last sentence said by Mr. Bayu.

"I feel guilty, Kayla. I feel useless, I was not there for you when you were alone yesterday, when you needed someone to support you and defend you" said Mr Bayu Lirih.

Kayla was silent to hear it.

"I'm sorry..."

"Sir? What did you say? Why are you feeling guilty? Yesterday's incident had absolutely nothing to do with father."

"But I-.."

"Sir, I'm a nobody. You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine. Yesterday I was alone, and no one told me, but now I don't have a papa."

"But I love you, Kayla. I don't want you to be treated like that"

"But you can't do anything, can you? Don't you dare to fight Alex, it's always been." Kayla's mind was upset.

Kayla is upset, not that she does not appreciate Mr. Bayu's attention, but every time Kayla is bullied.. Mr. Bayu always comforted her with such words, but did not act at all. He was a respected sports teacher and much admired, but unfortunately he was just like the other teachers. I dare not oppose Alex.

"That kid is really outrageous!" muttered Pak bayu growled. "And you know what, Kayla? Today he went to school as usual, like nothing ever happened. He did not seem to be affected by his insolent actions. Really..!!" Mr. Bayu growled with hate.

Kayla took a long breath. "It's free to be angry" Kayla murmured in her heart.

"Where are the teachers reacting? Was he called to the BK room?"

Mr. Bayu shook his head weakly.

Kayla also snorted languidly. Although the case Alex did this time was serious.. Alex got no warning at all for his insolent deeds? The teachers don't seem to care about a case this big? Or they don't actually dare. Kayla could only shake in disbelief.

"Nobody reported" Mr. Bayu briefed.

Kayla snorted in annoyance as she rolled her eyeballs. "Who would dare to report? inner Kayla.

"Didn't everyone know, sir? Teachers also know, do you have to wait for someone to report first just cracked down?"

Mr. Bayu lowered his head, embarrassed and insinuated by Kayla's words. Right, why wait for the first report to be cracked?After all, they all know the case.

"I understand sir" said Kayla with a flat expression, sounding cold and soft.

"Oh yeah, where did you come from?" ask Mr. Bayu to divert the conversation.

"Apotek" short Kayla jutek, a little annoyed.

"Wish you didn't buy medicine, what is this? asked Mr. Bayu while glancing at the clear crackle that Kayla had previously placed on the table between them.

"That's the same ointment plaster, make this" Kayla said as she touched her neck.

"I helped you put it on." Enthusiastically Pak Bayu grabbed the crackle and pulled out an ointment.

"No, sir!" sergeant Kayla quickly while trying to snatch the ointment from the hands of Mr. Bayu.

But Mr. Bayu held the ointment firmly so that Kayla's hand stopped there and even came into contact with Pak Bayu's hand. The two raised their heads and looked at each other.

Kayla relented, she let go of her hand first. "No sir, let me be alone" Kayla refused again.

"Thank you you for caring about me.Thank you also for coming here for my condition."

Mr. Bayu opened his mouth to answer Kayla, but before Mr. Bayu said anything, Kayla spoke first.

"I'm going to rest, sir. You don't have to worry, tomorrow I can go to school again." said Kayla while standing.

Indirectly ask Mr. Bayu to leave. Kayla knows, what she did is not good, but she was disturbed by the presence of Mr. Bayu.

Secretly, there were two people peering out from behind a big tree on the side of the road near Kayla's house. The two are seen watching Kayla and Pak Bayu who are chatting since.
