The Dark Side of High School Kids

Chapter 88 - Pain May Be Punishment

...༻☆༺...

Irritated by seeing his father's treatment of Zara, Gamal also rose. He pushed Afrijal with all his might.

"Don't bother him!" hardik Gamal's. Then help Zara stand up. This made Afrijal even more furious.

Without a second thought, Afrijal pulled Gamal's hand. Then slap him for a second time.

Hearing the commotion that occurred, Zara's cry grew more and more. He must have been very scared. Even moving my feet feels incapable.

Gamal was more hurt when he got a second slap from Afrijal. He froze in place. Then he looked at his father.

"What?! Want to fight you again?!" timpal Afrijal is in a state of great obstructing eyes. Next, he turned his gaze towards Zara.

"You!" afrijal's index finger was pointing at Zara's face. "Go from here! Never try again to set foot here!!!" snapped it.

Zara was shocked to the point that her feet were squeaked. Clear liquid was seen continuously dripping on his cheeks. Despite that, he is determined to help Gamal.

"I'm not leaving! Before Om stops ga-"

Plaque!

Afrijal silenced Zara's mouth with a loud slap.

"Zara!" Gamal is approaching. But it was pushed harshly by Afrijal. He automatically fell back to the floor.

"School in the discotheque you're there! GET OUT OF HERE!!!" afrijal's wrath could not stand Zara anymore.

Zara held his cheek. He had no choice but to rush to get the bag and run towards the front door.

"Zara!" Gamal once again tried to catch up. He wants to make sure Zara is okay. But Afrijal is certainly banned.

"Is he in school with you, huh?!" ask Afrijal.

Gamal threw away his face while tightening his jaw. One of his hands was still in Afrijal's grip.

"Quick say!" afrijal.

"What does Papah know? Papah never cared about me! Does papa know? As long as Papah isn't around, Zara is here!" gamal murmur in a state of up and down breath. Enragement peaked. It was clearly visible from his flushed face.

Afrijal laughed lightly and briefly. "It means to be your bird friend, right?!" reply while glancing at Gamal's vital tools. From what he first saw, Afrijal could certainly deduce what his son had done during his time with Zara.

"From now on Papah will pull all the facilities you use! Atm cards, credit, even cars! From now on you will be taking Mr. Drajat to school!!!" Afrijal. He felt he had to teach Gamal a lesson.

Gamal's hands form a bogem. The thought of hitting his father came to pass. But it must be deformed, when the female figure appears. She is none other than Tania, Gamal's mother.

"Dragonfly! Why is the corner of your lip bleeding?" Tania approached Gamal. He checked his son's face. But had not had time to touch, Gamal spry away Tania's hand.

If Afrijal rarely goes home, then Tania is worse. The middle-aged woman who was the reason behind Gamal's good looks, almost never took care of her own biological son.

"Get into your room!!!" afrijal. His anger has not yet subsided.

Gamal took the backpack he still had not brought into the room. He did not forget to take the keys to the apartment that Zara seemed to have forgotten.

"Ask your own son!" Afrijal went into the room. Leaving his wife with many questions.

...***...

Zara had to get back on the bus. She stopped crying. One of her cheeks looked red and slightly swollen from the Afrijal slap. The insults from Afrijal repeatedly ring in the ears.

Zara's phone just kept ringing. He's sure the person calling is Gamal. But Zara chose to ignore him.

When the bus stopped, Zara walked unsteadily down the street to the orphanage. He was thinking about Gamal. Zara honestly loved that guy so much. But after seeing Afirjal's treatment of him, doubts then emerged.

Zara had thought that Gamal was a bright glimmer of hope for her. That's why she stopped being a bad woman. Zara chose to be loyal to one person.

While with Gamal, Zara felt that her future would be happy. But after witnessing how the condition of the Gamal family, it seems that the bright future will not be present. One thing is for sure, Gamal's parents will not accept it.

A very painful heart. That's how Zara felt. Afrijal's humiliation is very difficult. The middle-aged man also managed to scare him. Zara felt she could no longer meet Afrijal. If so, why did he maintain a relationship with Gamal?

Zara's tears came back. He really cannot forget what happened. Everything doesn't feel right.

Zara's phone kept ringing. He finally picked up the call.

"Ra, are you home?" ask Gamal from across the phone. "Lo's fine, right?" continued. But Zara did not speak.

"Ra, I'm sorry, he did. Tomorrow we meet and I'll explain everything. Okay?" Gamal was silent for a moment. Then he said, "Oh yes, your apartment key is missing. We will go there together. You must like it!"

Zara bit her lower lip. Trying to hold back the sound of crying. But apparently he was unable to hold back, until finally Gamal knew that he was crying.

"Lo cry? It's okay, right? Ra!" how much Gamal said. Zara is still silent.

"Ra! Zara!" call Gamal. Urge Zara to talk soon.

"ZARA! ANSWER ME!" Gamal screamed loudly. Either because of anger or worry.

Gamal's screams made Zara aghast. The shadow of Afrijal instantly flashed in his memory. Given Gamal also not infrequently act rude to him. Zara made a decision.

"Mal, we're breaking up." Zara who had been silent since, immediately gave a piercing sentence.

"Lo's kidding, right?" Gamal initially did not want to believe it.

"Lo mending to sell an apartment that you have already bought." Zara ended the call unilaterally. He deactivated the phone and went back to wailing.

Now Zara breezed into the housing of the home. He immediately headed for the room. Melingus passed by a caretaker named Wida. She's like a real mother to all the orphanage kids.

"Zara! You why?" Wida was anxious when she saw Zara's face filled with tears. He chased Zara to the room. But the door to the room was already closed.

"Zara's? Tell Auntie you're okay." Wida exclaimed while knocking quietly.

In the room, Zara can vent her pain. She was crying so much. Even to the point of making a sound that can be heard by Wida.

Zara wailed while hugging her knees. He still hasn't changed his school uniform. Zara needs time to calm down.

"Zara.. You make Auntie anxious, you tell Auntie what happened" said Wida. She cried when she heard Zara's cry from the room.
