The Emperor's Heart Port

Episode 8 Will Start the Match

The teacher's mother was named Talita, usually called with the greeting Bu Lita. After getting information from Syifa about how Mother Xaxa was doing before entering the classroom, Ms. Lita had decided not to give a lesson today. And his decision has been approved by the board of teachers, especially the principal.

"Because I'm proud of Xaxa. Can I hug Xaxa now?" Mother Lita said with a smile looking at Xaxa, but her two eyes that were currently glazed were clearly caught by Xaxa who was confused to see her.

Not wanting to ask what happened, Xaxa immediately moved from his seat to then first hug Mother Lita. Xaxa behaved so because she thought Ibu Lita was having a severe problem, and she could not bear to see it until she immediately took the initiative to embrace Ibu Lita first.

As is known. Only Syifa knew about the news of Xaxa's mother's death, and the next to know was Ms. Lita and the other teachers. While all the friends in his class including Xaxa himself did not know. They whispered to each other, feeling strange with Mother Lita's attitude that suddenly just wanted to hug Xaxa. Even his teary eyes did not go unnoticed.

Syifa tried to hold back her tears by bowing her head, turning away from meeting anyone let alone Xaxa. But unfortunately, his attempt not to cry was finally broken. Syifa was no longer able to hold back until her crying voice was heard by Xaxa who was now standing next to her while hugging Mother Lita.

Hearing that also made Xaxa immediately break down a hug. He looked at Syifa questioningly. The shadow of the incident when Syifa received a phone call while outside the classroom with her, raises Xaxa's suspicion if something is going on. His heart became restless, his chest was tight, his knees were limp, Xaxa began to imagine his guess desperately trying to tepis in the heart.

"What exactly is this. Why do I feel bad like this? What I think must be wrong." Xaxa's mind froze as he stood. Lita's mother who could not bear to see Xaxa immediately hugged her tightly.

"Xaxa is a good kid and also smart. I am very sure that both of Xaxa's parents, especially Xaxa's mother, must be very proud of Xaxa. Continue to be a good and strong child. I believe Xaxa is a cheerful child. Be happy, Xa. Wherever and whenever you are." Said Mother Lita while stroking Xaxa's back gently.

Mother Lita's words further amplified Xaxa's current unrest.

"What is this really about, Mom? Honestly speaking. Must something happen? Why did Mother and Syifa cry like this." Said Xaxa who was still in the arms of Mother Lita.

All of Syifa and Xaxa's classmates were silent as they watched what happened.

"This is what the hell is going on? Do you know why Ibu Lita was with Syifa to cry like that?" The whisper of a female student who sat at the very back to the friend beside her and also the two friends in front of her who were now facing her.

"Where do I know. I didn't talk to Syifa today."

"I am too."

"I'm the only one who never talked to either of them."

"Well, what do you think is going on? Wouldn't it be weird if it was just because Xaxa was going to move out of this school."

"We should just shut up first. I think it's a pretty serious matter. Xaxa also looks tense right now." They also looked back to focus on Xaxa, Ibu Lita and Syifa.

With her cry that was no longer held back, Mother Lita also told the truth.

"Your mother is dead, Xa. He will no longer feel pain. I believe, Mom you-"

"What does Mom mean? Sorry, Mom. Xaxa doesn't like this mother's words." Sela Xaxa did not accept. He immediately broke down his embrace with eyes that immediately met with Mother Lita.

"Xa.." Syifa.

"What, Syif? Are you going to say the same? Don't say anything no. Two days ago the doctor told my father that my mother's condition was getting better. So don't just talk because I don't like to hear it." Say Xaxa again with his passionate words. Although he believed his words, but still his heart could not lie.

All of Xaxa's friends stare in disbelief, whispering to each other. Even some started to stand from their seats and began to approach Xaxa and also Mother Lita.

"Sorry, Mom. What is the news is true, if Mother Xaxa-" One of Xaxa's friends who is now standing close to speak, but Xaxa immediately chimed in his words.

"I told you that wasn't true. Why are you still asking Mother Lita? Would you be happy if my mother really died? Huh?!" Xaxa said raising his voice was unacceptable.

"Xaxa calm down." Syifa was about to grab Xaxa's hand, but was immediately pushed aside.

Xaxa who was no longer strong heard her cry hysterically. His heart was not ready to lose his dear mother. Syifa who was very close to Xaxa immediately grabbed Xaxa's body into his arms.

"This is not true, Syif. I must be in my dream. My mother couldn't have left me this fast." Syifa further tightened her embrace of Xaxa. Likewise with other Xaxa friends who also came closer and hugged Xaxa, they both let out tears of sadness. Imagine the events of the student orientation period, where at that time Xaxa was always escorted by his mother to the front of the school gate.

"What called you earlier was actually my father?" Tanya Xaxa made sure. Syifa nodded her head in guilt for not directly telling Xaxa.

After school today. Kevin and Kai actually did the match with a 100 million money bet. Although Kevin is not someone who can afford to pay that much money, but he has very high confidence in being able to defeat Kai by a landslide. He is so optimistic that he will get a lot of money from Kai even though he realizes that if there is a way he will be paid off in unlimited time, Kevin thought insulting Kai's poverty.

Almost all students of Mutiara Cinta High School prefer to gather on the field watching the match rather than directly going home to their respective homes. News of the basketball game between Kevin and Kai with a 100 million money bet has spread in every class. They were so enthusiastic to watch the game and see the result.

"Do you all know. Kevin and Kai fight because they fight over me. The most beautiful and popular girl in this school." Say Love in its centile style. She is the girl Kevin likes. But make up stories to make a scene his friends.

"Is this all happening because of you? It was impossible for an Emperor to waste his time just to get a woman like you." Classmate Love.

"What did you say? How dare you underestimate me. Don't you know how Kevin's been chasing me all this time?" Love is full of emotion.

"I'm not talking about Kevin. Consider first the words of anyone who speaks to you so you don't look stupid!" Love is getting more and more out of his friends. But again with confidence, Love knows no shame. He did not care about the people's response to him, because the most important thing in his heart right now was to love the Emperor blatantly.

"How's this. 100 Million is no joke. Is Kai able to give it to Kevin." Barrels.

Tania was so annoyed to hear the same words Laras had with her mind. He's not sure Kai will win either. But not the heart if you have to see Kai bear the burden of money as much as 100 million rupiah, even though it happened because of Kai himself.

"Although I'm not one hundred percent sure. But I will try to catapult as many do'a as possible to the Emperor's victory." Baby.

"I'm the same as Baby. Siding Kai. Even though losing is no problem. I'll stick-" Amanda won't go on with her words.

"I'll keep what?" Tania asked with a fierce look. "Why not continue? Do you also secretly like the Emperor?"

"If so, why? Falling in love is a right of all. So there's no harm if we love the same people." Amanda.

"I agree with what you said, Amanda." Baby.

"You agree because you both like the Emperor. You two are hypocrites. Secretly harboring a foul smell." Tanias.

"The rotten one is your thinking, Tan. Not yet so his Emperor was already acting shameless. Confessing I'm not his own." Amanda said so satisfied after seeing the resentful restraining expression from Tania.

The barrel that was beside Tania was trying to calm down.

"Not taken seriously. After all who does not like the charm of the Emperor. There must be many women in this school who both like the Emperor. So fight each one to get it."

"Are you the same?" Ask Tania to Laras.

"of course. But I've already accepted Dino's love. So inevitably I have to try to be faithful, right?" Said Baras smiling sweetly.

"Dih, great. Just be careful until you change your mind. I won't stay silent and afraid even if I have to face the three of you!" Said Tania with her cynical gaze that she repeatedly deliberately displayed.
