Taste and Lust

Chapter 36

In the morning, Henry returned to school as usual. Then he put his bag on the table, after which he entered the principal's room. "For the sir" he said.

"Mmmm, sit down" he replied telling Hendry.

"Thank you sir".

Then the headmaster looked at him with a disappointed look, "You know why I called you here?" Hendry was silent as the headmaster had just said, he already knew the reason for calling himself there. "I'm sure you know why I called you here".

"I'm sorry, sir. It is true that I committed physical violence against Fany and Nesa, but I am not a fool who would attack them for any reason. Why didn't you call them here too?".

"Hendri! I know you're not an ordinary person they've known all along. But you should have given up on them".

"What's? caving?" Hendry laughed at what the headmaster had just said. "It looks like there's nothing more we need to talk about sir. Sorry to interrupt when you called me here. Excuse me".

"Wait a minute" he said. "Please don't repeat this mistake again, I don't want our school's good name tarnished by irresponsible students. Youunderstand?".

"I would never bother the other students if they didn't bother me" Hendry replied straight out. He saw that the clock had shown at 07:30 minutes, and the students in his room had been on their seats.

GECK... GECK...

"Come in" replied the teacher. Then he saw Hendry from top to bottom making him unable to recognize the face of Hendry he had been familiar with. "Who are you?".

"I'm Hendry ma'am, student of this class".

"Hendry?".

"Yes mom".

"Hendry is in this class? oh, so you were that troubled student last night, huh? yesterday I had time to watch a video that was sent next class to my subject group. And it turns out you're the one, great you yah?".

"Hahahah" their laughter.

"Who told you to laugh?".

"Sorry mom".

"So how's the problem? have you apologized to Fany and Nesa? it's a shame for you. The cops whose history has never come to this school because of violence, but because of you they set foot in our school. As a man you're not ashamed of Hendry?".

Hendry was silent, he looked at Afia who was looking at him with a disappointed look. "I don't think we need to talk about this anymore, Mom. Why do you always blame one side? why don't you ask me why I did that? didn't we?" ask Nesa and Fany who were silent.

"If you're both here, I want to know why he's physically assaulting you both. Now tell me why you did that".

"I don't have a problem with these two women. But the two of them suddenly blocked my path until in the end, he threw these precious shoes right in my head. If the position was in the mother herself, would she have let it go? I think my mom will do the same thing as I do".

"Is it true that Nesa throws your shoes on her head?".

"I-yes ma'am, I did that. But not so is the way to get back at us. He almost killed us both".

"So, you two don't take it?".

"Yes mom..

PPLLAAKKS..

Two waves landed on Nesa and Fany's forehead. "That's what you deserve, so people don't get too cocky looking at the weak. This is the habit of the two of you, I have often noticed you from a distance. And you even sue him? I thought he was wrong first, but in fact you two have woken up a sleeping lion. Already, now you three sit back, and don't you make that mistake again".

"Yes ma'am" answered Nesa and Fany.

.

Hours of rest, the students in the class scattered to fill their stomachs. While Afia and Hendry were left inside, "Why did you shut me down?".

"No, I'm not silencing you" Afia replied, looking at Hendry. "Are you okay?".

"What?".

"No, I'm comfortable staying here because there's you dear" Hendry's smile kissed Afia's lips at a glance. "I'm not going anywhere, don't worry. You afraid I'll leave you?".

"Mmmm, I'm so scared that you're leaving me when Hendry's news" Afia nodded her head against Hendry's chest. "Don't go".

"I'm not going to go baby" Henry's twelve hugged him fondly. "Have you had breakfast from home?".

"Why? you haven't eaten yet?" ask back Afia let go of Hendry's embrace.

"I didn't have time to eat breakfast from home".

"You should have told me, I'll bring provisions from home for you. Come on, I'll accompany you to the cafeteria".

"Come" glad Hendry pulled his hand.

But when they were in the cafeteria, all the eyes in the canteen immediately turned to the two of them, some looking at them with gazes of admiration, envy and dislike. "No need to pay attention to them" said Hendry.

"mmm".

Then Hendry ordered two servings of somay for the two of them and two glasses of mango juice. Not long after their order arrived, although Afia was uncomfortable, for Hendry's sake he pretended not to hear it. But Hendry who had never eaten canteen food, he felt the siomay was not in accordance with his taste. "Why Hend?".

"No" his smile was a head gnarl.

"I know it may not taste right to your taste. Me too, you want me to make it for you? but not now, when there's a holiday".

"alright".

.

After school Hendry and Afia immediately went to where they worked. "Fia, can't we..

"No" cut Afia to stop him.

"Why? today I really don't want to work Fia".

"If you don't work, then what money for your needs does Hend use?".

"For one day it's okay Fia, come on Fia. I really want to be in bed with you spending the night. C'mon baby".

"Stop Hendry, you want to make me..

"Oh yeah I just remembered Fia".

"What's?".

"Good God, I just remembered that tomorrow was the last day I'd stay at home".

"You mean?".

"Mmmm, I need to find a new home before the owner of the house I'm occupying expels me. What should I do Fia?".

"Really Hend? you're not lying to me, are you?".

"Dear baby, why should I lie to you".

"Well, if that's the case, I'll accompany you in search of a rental house".

"Clearly darling?" glad Hendry ruffled his long hair.

"Yes, wait a minute, I'll let you go with Eva".

"mmm".
