The Choice of Old Man

The Choice of Old Man
The Aroma of Freedom



Five days later, the days were peaceful. Yesterday, a prisoner named Gavin Sanjaya was reportedly sentenced to death by police brimob members. Previously, Gavin showed good behavior, until the police claimed that Gavin can still change his personality. After hearing a detective's wife was nearly killed by the man, police couldn't delay probation.


Students are seen then entering the Pradita Dirgantara High School building. The principal announced the students could return to school as usual. The aroma of freedom was increasingly out when Keenan's feet stepped on the area of Pradita Dirgantara High School. The man pushed the wheelchair that his wife was riding into the building.


Alexa's thigh wound had dried up, but doctors did not recommend the girl walk. Too much movement will make the stitches vulnerable to open. Keenan agreed with the doctor's advice.


"Reg, help me bring the wheelchair."


Keenan carried his wife's body up the second floor. Meanwhile, Regan folded up the wheelchair and lifted it, then followed Keenan behind. Arriving in front of the class, the man in a black jeans jacket put the chair back on. Next, Keenan sat Alexa there.


"Lo can go now, I'm fine, really." said Alexa.


Keenan pulled his pants while crouching in front of Alexa. "Promise, huh? You have to know me when the lesson is over."


Alexa nodded, then patted the man on the shoulder. "promises. I'll definitely be told."


Regan bertehem. "Udah time, Keen, anyways bini lo is okay. Kan, you just need to track Alexa's location."


Keenan threw a cold look at his co-worker. "Lo single, mending diem, deh."


"Yes, I'm wrong, my feelings are wrong." Regan scratched her non-itchy nape.


Alexa kisses the back of Keenan's hand. The girl noticed her husband's departure, so Keenan's back was no longer visible in plain sight.

"Omg hello!"


Ilona widened her eyes as her feet nearly stepped on the front yard of the school. Then, he hid behind a barrier wall beside the gate. He sees Regan and Keenan coming out of the building. Ilona looked at the black jeans she was wearing. Regan will scold him.


"Neng, what's there. Want to be late on purpose, so I can skip?"


Mang Ujang, a security guard who was instrumental in maintaining the security of the school in front of the gate reprimanded Ilona. The middle-aged man told Ilona that soon the bell would ring. The girl shook her head, asking for two minutes until the two men she saw left.


"Yeuh, the Eneng, go in. The first day of the exam even want to skip, the intention of the school is not, anyway?" Mang Ujang pulled Ilona's wrist, pushing her inside.


Just as Regan and Keenan opened the car door, he shut himself up once he saw Ilona suddenly appear in the gate. The girl sped up her steps while bending over to cover her face with both hands. Regan told Keenan to get in the car first.


"Eh, stop, stop!"


As Ilona's feet were about to step on the floor terrace, Regan quickly took a position behind her. Ilona stopped stepping. Regan watched the girl closely, then took turns staring at her own clothes. Both of them accidentally wore the exact same black jeans jacket, the zipper on their upper arms also looked like Regan's.


"Lo said my jacket was worn off. But ...."


"Jaket Mr. emang really fade, this I buy because ... Good cause, sir." Ilona grinned after cutting Regan's sentence.


As she stepped forward, Regan glared at Ilona sharply. "What true? You're not lying, are you?"


"No, sir."


The students run into the building, one of which hits Ilona's upper arm. Spontaneous Ilona pulled the collar of Regan's jacket, along with the man's hand holding her waist. Ilona was stunned, when she managed to see Regan from a very close distance the second time.


From the direction of the corridor, Ilona ran in the crowd of walking students. The girl spread out both hands as she ran, welcoming Alexa with a warm embrace. After a long wait for news, he finally met his best friend. Because the hospital does not allow anyone to visit Alexa, other than family or relatives.


"Lo's okay, right? Yeah, my goodness .. ." asked Ilona, her palm accidentally pressing Alexa's thigh.


"Awu! Pain, Na!" Reflex, Alexa brushed off Ilona's fingers.


"Oh, yes, sorry." Ilona closed her mouth. "Gue denger lo on a prick, huh? It must hurt."


"You're not sick, how can I possibly be this way now?"


"Hehe, yes, too."


For a moment, Alexa glared at Ilona from head to toe. He felt familiar with the black jeans worn by his best friend. Recalling that today Regan was wearing the jacket she bought back then, the girl began to realize something.


"Don't you lie, huh?" Alexa pointed at Ilona suspiciously.


Ilona smiled clumsily. "Huh? A lie? What the hell, you mean?"


Alexa crossed both hands across her chest, a wide smile rising on her face. Ilona let out a long breath. During this time, his best friend kept Regan's jacket in his closet, the color also still looks intact there are no white stains at all. Yeah, Ilona had her reasons for lying to Regan. He just wanted to get closer to the guy.


"Oh, so that's it. I guess you made a deal with Regan's sister."


"Ish, no, yeah! It's just a coincidence, please!"


"Yes, yeah. We're going to class now."


Ilona pushes Alexa-occupied wheelchair. They entered the classroom, ignoring the pair of eyes fixed on the two. Alexa's seat was in the seat of another student, Ilona immediately told her compatriot to budge and sit in the back row.


A bespectacled man in a black shirt suit, entered the room, welcoming all the students. Samuel Aditya, the new teacher in the class, handed each of them a piece of exam paper.


Today, their first day of exams is the end of the semester. Even if it was not limited, the students there no one dared to cheat. If caught, the teacher will give strict punishment to them.


Ilona wrote the exam answers carefully. However, Regan's face swayed her mind. The focus disappeared instantly. He looked to the side, looking at Alexa's quick hand movements writing out the answer. Ilona did not want to lose to her best friend, she again concentrated on the paper in front of her.


"Sir, I'm done."


Ten minutes later, Alexa raised one hand, then forward handed over a sheet of test paper to Mr. Samuel, the teacher in her class. Who's fast he's out. Alexa was about to push both wheels in her chair to the doorway. However, a student sitting in the front row shifted the table, blocking the girl's path.


Alexa closed her eyes, let out a long sigh and tried to hold back her frustration. "Don't stop me wearing a wheelchair, you can just treat me like a cripple."


"Yes, the truth, right? Maybe it's karma for you, because you used to be indifferent to guys at school." The student smiled in anguish.


"Sir, I'm done."


Ilona put the rough exam paper on the table, the girl immediately shifted the position of the table until it was attached to the student. He took Alexa out of class.


Samuel took off his glasses, then lowered his head and held his temple. He chuckled after seeing the actions of this one disciple. Beautiful, but bar-bar.
