The Comfortable Zone of a Relationship

Chapter 18

*Previous story Bhie and Grace were called to BP's room.

Bhie glanced at Grace who seemed agitated and hesitant to tell her the truth. Of course Bhie understands Grace's anxiety, where he can confess only because of guys.

" Of course Grace is angry because her boyfriend likes me. Hence without a second thought Grace attacked me out of jealousy. I will accept his sentence, in which case I am also guilty, of having hit Grace ", Bhie said.

" Tuhh heard your daughter admit it "Mother Grace showed Bhie's direction.

" But your daughter first attacked my daughter and saw my daughter hurt worse than your daughter. Here's my business card, let's move on to the green table" Mentari said.

" Mama's enough, stop. I'm fine, don't need to be extended" Bhie said.

At the sight of Mentari's business card, Grace's parents' guts change, especially Grace's mother who becomes quiet and utters the unexpected.

" Love, don't be angry anymore, let's apologize to your friend" said Grace's mother.

" Come Grace, apologize" Grace's father said.

" Stap it ??? " Grace was astonished by the change in attitude of her parents.

" Let's quickly apologize" Grace's father said.

" Looking up on Grace's behalf, we're sorry, would you apologize Grace "Grace's mother is so gentle.

" It's nothing it's just a misunderstanding. Excuse me "Bhie hastily said goodbye.

After saying goodbye Bhie immediately out of the BP room, Bhie lazily lingered inside. I don't know what made Grace's parents change their minds, but initially angry and suddenly good, even to the point of apologizing.

" Bhie, are you okay ? " ask Angela who was waiting.

" What's wrong" Bhie said.

" What's okay, look at your messy appearance, crazy scars so much "Aela noticed the wounds on Bhie's body.

" Have seen the wound, don't be pressured any more pain. I'm going to the UKS for plaster " said Bhie.

" What's Trus ? Punished what ? " ask Angela.

" Don't know, because I'm.." Bhie's words were cut because someone came out of BP's room.

" Bhientang "the word Mentari.

" What else is sich....??? " bahie said without looking.

" Even though Grace's parents apologized, but the school still punished, you were suspended for 3 days" Mentari said.

" It's been okay for 3 days, no problem. I'm going to UKS "Bhie to leave without looking.

" Bie...!!! " Jonathan called.

" Are you a friend of Bhientang ? What's your name ? " ask the Mentari.

" I'm Angela, Bhie's classmate. Sorry Aunt who is it ? " said Angela.

" Mantari, his mother Bhientang "introduced herself.

" really ? Aunt her real mama ? " Aleila doesn't believe it yet.

" Aunty may I ask for help ? " ask the Mentari.

" Begging for help about what, tan ??? " ask Angela.

*meanwhile in the UKS room, Bhie cleaned the wound and attached plaster to the wounds on his face and hands. Bhie looked at himself in the glass, saw a lot of plaster and cheeks that began to look swollen. I faintly saw Grace's hand stamp.

" Crazy the slap was so strong, that there was Grace's hand stamp" Bhie said as she rubbed her cheek.

Bhie was laying on the bed, his head was a little sore, he felt lazy to go back to the classroom after the incident. Now that the other children were gossiping about her, Bhie closed her eyes trying to calm her mind.

A few minutes later Angela came to follow Bhie in the UKS room, where she saw Bhie lying on the bed.

" Bhie, are you sleeping ? " ask Angela.

" No, just close your eyes" Bhie said.

" It's stick it on your cheek, let the swelling go away " Angela gave me a cold canned drink.

" Thank you "Bhie receives from Angela.

Bhie clings to her swollen cheeks, Angela observes Bhie's condition closely. Just this time Bhie looks messy and full of plaster patches. Out of all the plaster, Angela's eyes were fixed on the plaster stuck on Bhie's neck.

" Bhie, why don't you explain your relationship with your mama ? Don't you trust me ? " ask Angela.

" What story are you the same ? " Bie asked back.

" Not much, just ask for help to see how you are" Angela said.

" If you were me, would you still be proud to introduce him to your friend as mama ? For the person who has abandoned you, just because of his own selfishness. Of course, the answer is not Angela ", Bhie said.

" You're right, I definitely don't want to introduce him either. But Bhie, why do you admit it ? if Sin likes you, that time in BP's room ? Wouldn't that justify Grace's jealousy ? " said Angela.

" It would be wrong if we liked each other? We are friends, like does not mean love and have to date, right ? I told you, we're friends. Do you still not believe it ?" Bhie.

" I believe, it's just that sometimes your attitude is a little different as his friend. I explained it to Grace and she doesn't misunderstand you anymore" Angela said

* Shortly before Angela to UKS.

Angela comes to see Grace to ask if Grace has any evidence for her allegations against Bhie.

" Of course, Sin mutusin me right after he left with Bhie. Not only that, they even spent the night together. Here's the proof " Grace said as she showed me a photo.

Angela grabbed Grace's phone and looked closely at the photo inside. From her clothes and place, Angela immediately realized the photo was taken during a party at Windy's place. But indeed, when viewed from the position when the photo was taken, everyone would have misunderstood when looking at it.

" This photo was taken so that you misunderstood, just so you know, I was there too. Look, the clothes they're wearing are the same and the location is also the same "Angel shows a photo of her phone.

" This is ??? " Grace was astonished.

" That night we attended Windy's birthday party, at first we didn't know we were going to attend the same event. I came with my boyfriend who happens to be his cousin Windy's sister. Sin also comes because it turns out that he is also his cousin Windy's brother and of course Bhie came because of Windy's invitation. Not only that, Bhie became a special guest because Windy was dating his uncle Bhie. Believe it or not I only found out that night and that's how the fact is "Angel explained at length.

" So that night you guys ??? " say Grace

" It was late at night, I don't know what time Bhie came home, because I went home first" Angela said.

" Are they not alone ? " ask Grace.

" Of course not "Angel replied.

" But ? Why such a coincidence ? After that Sin mutusin me, so I think because of Bhie. Why did you break up with Sin ? " ask Grace.

" Emmm, how is it. If I can be honest, emm "Aela is a little hesitant.

" To be honest, I want to know ", said Grace.

" Because of Sin, having a lot of girlfriends" Angela said softly.

" Really ??? " Grace doesn't believe it.

" I guess, you're not Sin's only girlfriend, a lot of girls Sin's been dating, let's just say you're lucky to break up now, rather than being lied to for much longer, the pain will be deeper " said Angela.

" But I love him" said Grace.

" Patience, strengthen your heart. I want to see Bhie first in the UKS, want to help him, your nail claw is pretty much. Bye.." said Angela turned around and left.

*Back to Angela and Bhie right now.

" Why else do you explain to Grace at length, there's no point" Bhie said.

" It doesn't work, this way Grace doesn't misunderstand you anymore. Thanks to me dong " Angela raised her voice.

" Okay, thanks Angela. But still Grace won't apologize to me and I won't apologize to her either" Bhie said.

" It's up to the two of you, it's none of my business, and it's important that Grace is conscious and doesn't misunderstand anymore. After I thought, only this time I saw your appearance like this, yes even though you are usually always a mess" said Angela laughing mocked.

" Damn....!!! " Bhie laughed.

Meanwhile Grace was just listening to the conversation from behind the doors of the UKS. Grace abandoned her intention to go inside, at least now Grace knew Bhie was doing well. Grace leaves the UKS room before anyone arrives.

*Back to the UKS room

Angela looked at Bhie's laughing face, she was reminded of Mentari's aunt and if noticed their faces were a little similar.

*Flash back Mentari and Angela.

" Aunty may I ask for help ? " ask the Mentari.

" Seek help about what ya tan ? " ask Angela.

" Please help aunt keep an eye on Bhientang, you are her friend so if there is anything with the Bhiantang, you can tell aunt. Can you ??? " the Mentari.

" Of course it could be aunty" said Angela.

" good. This is aunty's business card, if there is any news about Bhientang, you can tell auntie " said Mentari.

" Good aunt" said Angela.

" Aunty go first. Aunty is grateful you are her friend Bhientang, thanks Angela " said Mentari.

Angela observed the business card in her hand, this was the first time she met her mother Bhie and did not expect not from ordinary people.

*Back to the UKS room Bhie and Angela.

" Sim...!!! Hii... Angela....!!! " Bie called.

" Yes what's up ??? " Alele was aware of her daydream.

" Dreaming what sich ??? " ask Bhie.

" Nobody, just imagining how your father would react, seeing his daughter battered by gini. What do you think ??? ' said Angela.

" Hmm???? It's also true if you know I was suspended for 3 days. Hadechh what should I say ??? " Bie's just starting to panic.

" Just be honest with your papa, what can you do" Angela said.

" And receive additional punishment from papa ? but if lying is also not good it will worsen the situation. Hopefully papa has extra work so don't see these injuries" Bhie said.

" Your prayers are very ugly, your father is a man not a machine. Don't you miss your dad ? " said Angela.

" It's common tuchh" Bhie said.
