The principal's room….
Ms. Nirmala is the principal at the school. Dino had met him while enrolling in this school as a freshman. He is currently talking seriously with Devan about what happened to Dino earlier. And there's one other kid from the class, he's an eyewitness.
“Devan, what did you do to your underclassman earlier?” ask Ms. Nirmala.
Devan who was sitting opposite to him also began to feel confused himself. He wanted to find another reason to trust Bu Nirmala so that the incident would not be his responsibility.
Devan scratched his head.
”Umm... I didn't do anything to the boy. He himself who suddenly fell just like that.” The answer.
“Lah? Falling down for no reason? That doesn't make any sense. Honest with Mom! What have you done to him? You can't lie to Mom, Devan. There are many witnesses here!” firmly Ms. Nirmala.
Devan could do nothing more, he just fell silent while looking for another reason.
“OK. If you don't want to answer, I'll ask for an explanation from the witness!” resolute again. Then Ms. Nirmala turned to face the witness.
“This is my chance, hehe..” Devan muttered.
Devan changed his sitting position slightly shifted to the right, slightly away from the witness. With his head lowered, Devan silently looked into the eyes of the Witness child. Devan's eyes turned red. What's he gonna do now?
“So, what did you see at the time of the incident?” ask Bu Nirmala to the boy.
The boy was silent for a moment, then suddenly his body trembled and his eyes turned dark. Ms. Nirmala did not pay attention to the state of the child. Though Devan has taken over the child's mind and his speech can come from Devan's own mind. Then the boy started to get his words out.
“Kak Devan is innocent, Mom! All I saw was, Brother Devan, just shut up. He didn't do anything bad to that kid named Dino. Dino fell by himself!” obviously the boy was in a flat tone.
Devan lifted his head and said, ”Yah. That'sthat's true! I'm not guilty. And when before Dino fell, he had said that his head hurt and suddenly he immediately fell. Anybody knows from the start that Dino was sick, ma'am. I'm worried too. Right, right?” Even though he lied. But Ms. Nirmala just believed Devan's words.
“Hmm... alright then." Bu Nirmala nodded. "There was no violence in this incident. Okay, I'm sorry I was rude to you, Van. And y'all by returning to class each!”
Devan restores the shape of his eyes and the boy's consciousness returns. The boy did not know what had happened to him. He could not remember the previous incident.
Devan smiled and left the headmaster's room with the boy. The boy returned to class, while Devan was still standing in front of the headmaster's room door. He's leaning against the wall. Then he glanced to his left and was surprised. Suddenly, there was his sister standing next to him.
“Lina!?”
Liena frowned and immediately pulled her brother's hand. ”Kak, we have to talk!” then take him somewhere.
****
At 11:12 p.m., Dino's consciousness finally returned. Aldy and Chelsea were delighted to see Dino open his eyes. They were still faithfully waiting for him to wake up.
“Oh, Dino. Finally!” Surprise Aldy. Then she hugged him. Dino was surprised. Then he touched his head. “I feel cold. This why?”
“Oh. That's because I just finished compressing you with some of this ice cube. Your head was hot, I'm afraid you have a fever later.” Answer Chelsea.
Dino's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. Then he nodded slowly. ”Owh, so. Umm... thank you!”
Chelsea laughed and smiled at Dino.
****
“Dino, exactly what happened to you earlier?” ask Chelsea suddenly.
Dino's confused. “So why me?”
Aldy chuckled and patted Dino on the shoulder. “Do you not know why you were taken to UKS?”
Dino shook her head. ”No. Why why anyway? Am I sick?”
Chelsea and Aldy looked at each other confused, then again memorized towards Dino. “Dino? Have you forgotten what happened to you?” ask Chelsea.
They stopped the steps for a moment. Dino could only shake. “I don't know about the events you mean.”
“Hmm. Because he just woke up from his stupor!” Aldy.
They both nodded. ”Hmm... hmm..” Then after that, they all walked towards the class.
****
Elsewhere, Liena and her sister walked down the stairs. They're off the school roof.
“Remember well, Brother! Don't do that again.” Liena. Devan complained of annoyance.
“Huh! Yes... yes!”
After they both went down the stairs, they saw Dino, Chelsea and Aldy walking together. They passed in front of the two brothers.
While walking, Dino and Chelsea glanced towards Liena and Devan. Dino looked at Devan who was looking at her cynically. Chelsea also saw Liena looking at him like that.
Their gazes gave Dino goosebumps. But they still walked past the stairs that Liena and her sister had just used.
“Still you approached my partner. I won't let it!” liena said in Heart.
“Now, I will eliminate you, Dino!” devan said in his heart. Then they both went back to their classes.
****
Krriiiiiii…. Krriiiiiiing….
Just as Dino was sitting in his place, suddenly the school bell rang. All the children greeted the teacher in front, then immediately went out of class to return to their homes. Aldy picked up his brother. So Dino will go home with Chelsea only. As always.
