EPISODE 16 WHAT HAPPENED?

In the health room,

“How about them?” Delvin asked while pointing at Arora and Chemira. “Let them rest.” Zhuzu replied briefly. Since there was nothing he could do, Delvin decided to help Zhuzu finish his work. “Is this stacked here?” Delvin took a bottle of medicine, then put it in the closet.

“Ya, just stack it there.” Zhuzu answered who was still busy with her laptop. Delvin focused his attention on his work now. He arranged the drugs neatly and thoroughly. “Zhuzu, is it okay if you use your family's concoction in the open like in school?” Ask Delvin. Zhuzu let out a long sigh.

“No problem, why do you care about that?” Reply Zhuzu. Delvin flipped his body towards Zhuzu. “No, I was just thinking is it okay if your family's hereditary concoction medicine is used for free?” Evidently.

“It's okay. As long as it's for the good, it doesn't matter. And as long as the concoction recipe is not spread, I can make it as I please.” Zhuzu answered casually without looking at Delvin. Delvin seemed silent for a moment, “Alright. Do as you please.” Short reply.

They remained in silence for a while, until Chemira was present to break the silence. “Hm? Mamah.” Chemira. The faint sound heard from Chemira made Delvin and Zhuzu sculpt for some time.

Shortly afterwards, Delvin approached and sat down on the sofa located next to Chemira's bed.

“Are you awake?” Delvin asked in a soft voice. Chemira did not respond. “She's still sleeping apparently.” Delvin. Delvin sat there in silence, watching Chemira. While Zhuzu, decided to become a figure as usual.

The temperature in the room could be said to be quite low, around 24°C. Sensing the cold piercing her body, Chemira involuntarily moved to hug her body to provide warmth to herself. Delvin who had noticed every movement Chemira, took a blanket available there and then wrapped Chemira up to his shoulder.

“Can you raise the room temperature? I feel a little cold.” Delvin said to Zhuzu. Then Zhuzu moved towards the room temperature regulator in the corner of the room to raise the temperature.

In the canteen, though,

“Do you enjoy that ice cream so much?” Ivan asked Fimela. Fimela simply replied with a brief nod. Ivan tilted his head, “Am I no better than that ice cream?” Ivan asked as if he wanted to make sure his existence was not forgotten there. “No, ice cream the best.” Fimela answered with her innocent face. Ivan smiled, he really felt like talking to a little boy.

When Ivan was busy watching her, Fimela felt a little unwell. “S-senior.” Call Fimela. “Yes? What's up?” Ivan replied in a soft tone. “Thank you, I feel better.” Fimela. “No need to hesitate like that, I can keep a secret.” Ivan answered on target. Hearing that Ivan had known his point, Fimela bowed in shame. “Hm, thank you senior.” Her speech. ‘It looks like he's back on himself.’ Inner Ivan.

“Fimela, may I ask you something?” Ask Ivan then. Fimela looked at him with a questionable look. “What?” Answer her. Ivan remained silent for a moment, hesitating to voice the question he had in mind.

Before Ivan could ask, the cafeteria mother came with a menu of Ivan's orders. “This is her food, please enjoy.” Said the canteen's mother. “Ah, thank you Bu.” Answer Ivan. The mother of the canteen glanced at Fimela, then she drew closer to him. “Son, may I know your name?” Ask the canteen Mother to Fimela. “Eh? My name is Fimela, Bu.” The answer. The canteen mother nodded slowly. “Beautiful name. Oh yeah, since when are you guys together?” Asked the canteen mother deliberately teasing her.

“Hah? Being together? What does..” Before Fimela finishes her sentence, Ivan quickly interrupts. “Recently, Mom. Not too long.” Ivan answered quickly. “Oh, then hope it lasts well. Mom go first.” Said the canteen's mother. Fimela who did not understand the direction of their conversation, could only remain silent.

After the cafeteria mother left, Fimela asked Ivan. “What are you talking about? I don't understand.” Ask Fimela. Ivan dilemmas between the decision to tell him or not. ‘Do I have to tell him?’ Inner Ivan. Fimela was still faithfully waiting for an answer from Ivan. Although it took a little extra time for him to think, but in the end he still decided to tell Fimela.

“I told the cafeteria that we were dating. Don't you mind?” Ask Ivan. Fimela choked on hearing such a shocking thing. “What? Ah, s-senior, k-you. You must be kidding right?” Reply Fimela with a stamped sentence. Ivan let out a long breath before he continued his sentence.

“I'm not kidding, Fimela. I did this to protect you.” Ivan replied in a serious tone. Fimela was shocked not to play, she did not expect that her senior would act recklessly like this. “Protect me? Senior, what does it mean?” Ask Fimela in a defiant tone.

*flashback on*

“Haah, even though I was always given a lot of work. But honestly, I miss this school.” Ivan. He decided to go around the school looking at the situation. As he went around, he overheard the conversations of some students.

“Hey, do you know? I had a chance to meet with the beautiful and popular class brothers.” – Student A

“Really? Are they as beautiful as rumored?” – Student B

“Yes, they are so beautiful. You will immediately fall into his charm if you see him.” – Student A

“Wah, I'm so curious as to what they are.” – Student C

“But I think Delvin from class 2A is interested in one of them.” – Student A

“Which one? We must be careful if it is true.” - Student D

“If according to rumors, the girl is named Chemira. But I don't know for sure which one.” – Student B

“I see one of them seems easy to approach. How about we try?” – Student A

“Boleh-can. Who's afraid, what's his name?” – Student C

“If I don't see wrong, her name is Fimela.” – Student A

“Alright, it's time for me to shine again in this school.” – Student D

Ivan who heard the conversation felt that his emotions were almost uncontrollable, asking to be ventured. ‘Fimela.’ Inner Ivan. Somehow he felt unwilling if others intended to approach him.
