Ravin: Troublemakers & Snowman

6 - Not Just One Person

As usual, Noura held her bag on one shoulder and walked with slightly straddling legs as well as a hand that slowly advanced and retreated. Noura paid no heed as people looked at her with dislike and whispered to Noura with cruel curses. He continued walking with his pompous and haughty steps. And barbarians, of course. Noura's gaze caught the strapping back of someone Noura knew very well.

Noura smiled obliquely. This is the time for revenge, after yesterday Noura was made a troublemaker by the man. Noura quickened his pace, and as he got closer, Noura jumped up and deliberately crashed his body with the bully. Noura laughed mockingly at Melvin who was knocked down on the floor of the corridor with his glasses and book lying next to Melvin. "Racaine! Cemen is so a guy! Digituin aja jatoh, lo!"

Melvin lifted his head, stared cynically, then screeched and ignored Noura who was waiting for the next reaction from Melvin. The man took his glasses, put them on again, and picked up the book. Melvin stood up, with eyes staring coldly at Noura.

Noura squealed, then cheered. "What's? Shoot me again?"

Melvin shakes. His gaze was cynical towards Noura. "Killer's son." whispered, but it still sounded in Noura's ear.

"What?" noura asked in shock, not expecting. "Lo, what the fuck is that? Naughty naknuh?"

Melvin only stared intently at Noura for a moment, then turned around and left Noura silent in surprise. "What, anyway? It's not clear that's a person" he said, then put his shoulders down and walked into his class.

In the classroom, he had already seen all seven of his friends sitting on Noura's bench while joking.

Noura immediately approached them, then tapped on the table tightly. The five people turned their heads, then smiled broadly at Noura. "Yes, mamen! How are you doing? Long time no see!" noura exclaims excessively.

"Alays!"

"Start the drama!"

"Huu Noura!"

"Just a minute ago we met!"

"And you've forgotten those memories, Ra?"

" *****! Makin alay lo on!"

"Najisin!"

"No need for a good friend!"

"More friends in bed!"

"HUUU NOURA SOK-SOK-BASKET-LONG!"

"Maenannya bed!"

Noura laughed watching the noisy morning. "Whisper you on! It's morning, too!"

"But, ever since you came, the class has been noisy, you know!" samuel laughed. "So the class was quiet. Aren't you?" his words, which are immediately approved by one class.

Noura feels goiter. His face turned red, and he immediately curled Samuel's neck and snapped the man's head.

"Ih Noura's a rough toy!"

"DIIHHH!"

"Keep away! Yep!" samuel exclaimed as Noura let go of her pitingan. Samuel retreated and moved away from Noura while saying, "Iihhh!" with friends.

Noura's face turned red. He ran towards his friends who instead dodged and exclaimed, "Iiihh!" on Noura as if Noura was a disgusting virus.

Noura growled furiously, then shouted, "TIMES NYEBELIN!!"

Melvin's gaze was directed straight at the woman whose face was flushed with anger. But no doubt, a laugh escaped when the woman ran and chased her friend who continued to avoid. Melvin swallowed his hard-earned saliva, then let out a long sigh as a feeling of tightness filled his heart. Melvin closed his eyes for a moment, then looked back at that cheerful face.

Melvin doesn't know how to deal with this. On one hand, he felt heavy to remove the smile on Noura's face. However, on the other hand, he wants to be free and live without the burden that Dad instilled in Melvin.

Melvin let out a long sigh, then walked towards his class. Faintly, he heard a voice from inside the lab that he was about to pass through.

"... How much do you pay me?"

"How much you want. Just so you follow my orders."

"Lukain Noura's. Easy, right?"

Melvin's steps came to a halt when he heard the highly sensitive name enter through his eardrum. Lukain Noura, he said? Curious, Melvin peeked at the lab room next to the stairs of his class. He saw Athala talking to a man. Melvin's eyes pinched, staring at Athala and the man took turns.

A rough sigh came out of Melvin's mouth. A sinister smile was then etched on his face.

As it turned out, it was not just one person who wanted Noura to get hurt in this world.

"... So that's. Anyone want to ask? If there is none, don't."

Everyone laughed as Ms. Endah tried to make fun of her in front of the students.

Melvin's still with his calm look. For some reason, Bu Endah's laugh never made him laugh, even smile in the slightest. One person who once made her smile without coercion.

That little girl.

After his mother, only Noura ever made him laugh. Although only a small laugh, but can make his heart warm.

"Nah—"

Tok tok tok tok

Ms Endah's words were cut off as a slow knock on the door distracted her. "Lake in!" exclaim Bu Endah.

Before long, there was a hand waving on the glass door of the classroom. This class door is indeed a quarter decorated by transparent glass.

And the incident earlier, caught by the eyes of all the occupants of the class. Before long, the sounds of whispers could be heard. Melvin, who was sitting in the first row near the door, could hear the whisper clearly.

"Uh, no nyampe! Yan, pick me up, spit!"

"Yan-Yan is I Yanti? Good name to change. Very much repotin, again! That's why, big cepet!"

"Aah, a lot of bacots! Not suitable, you know! Cepet lift me up, ****!"

"Yes, yeah, hang on."

After which, the head of a petite girl poked on the glass.

Everyone laughed when they saw Noura's face on the quarter glass as she stared at the classroom. Except for Bu Endah who just gawked.

"Hi Ma!" greet Noura. He looked at Melvin and smiled. "Hey snowman!" sweep again.

Still with a gawking look, Bu Endah looked at the class occupants. "That's Noura, right?" tanyakanya.

The other students just nodded, except for Melvin.

Madam began to make angry faces. He looked at Noura's grinning face towards him with a bangar. "YOUR!!! GET IN!!!"

Noura immediately hit Vabian's head under him. "Descended, ****! Miss Endah's here!" said panic.

Vabian immediately dropped Noura and Noura and the gang ran away from Bu Endah.

All of the class residents laughed, except for Melvin whose face was very flat.

It's freaky. When he found out that Noura had been adopted by Vabian, he felt uncomfortable himself.

I don't know.

Melvin wants to keep Noura away from Vabian.

But, Melvin immediately dispelled his thoughts. He prefers other options in his logic. "Murahan." he muttered softly as he looked back at the book before him.

Though his mind drifted somewhere.
