EPISODE 44 THE BULLIES
“Can you not show that annoying smile every time? Other people (which is normal) will be very disturbed if you see it.” Fimela. Their affairs with the principal had been resolved well by now. And all they had to do was try their best to complete the task entrusted to them.
“This smile is just me showing you. You don't have to be jealous like that.” Ivan replies by adding a dose of his irritating smile in order to disturb Fimela. And sure enough, Fimela was really distracted. He desperately wanted to hit this shameless senior, even if it was just once.
“I'm not kidding senior. Stop bothering me or I'll really hit you. My hands are itching to do it, you know?” He threatened with a horrible smile. He showed his clenched hand, which had been very prepared to hit someone.
“Haah.. You are this.” Ivan again did not compromise his threat. He re-embraced Fimela's shoulders as possessively as before. “You..” Fimela's sentence stopped because someone called her name.
“Fimela!”
Fimela turned her head and found the figure of Devano, “Why is the boy surnamed Ferely here anyway? One made me sick, another came. Really..” Fimela Mumbles. “Hey, I can hear you loh.” Ivan's words were right in Fimela's ears. “Ja-don't get near.” Fimela landed a hand on the side of Ivan's face to deliver the pain (slap), without her noticing.
Ivan's hand moved to wipe the side of his face that felt hot and a little sore, he saw (a little) blood stains there. “Wow, your strength is beyond my expectations. Absolutely awesome.” His words are still loyal to his relaxed attitude despite being in this situation.
“A-ak-i min-ask ma-maaf. me, me..” Fimela. It approached and continued to approach until the distance originally created (due to a sudden attack earlier) now slowly thinned and disappeared.
“Ah.. a-does it hurt? Sorry. i-“
“Fimela. please.” Ivan was trying to control the feeling that was currently unfounded. It was between the wall and Fimela who kept on approaching. Seeing Fimela's worried expression at the moment made her feelings go awry.
“Eh? Your face is red.. Does it hurt too much? I-“
“Stop. Please. stop there.” Ivan said with his face turning red. He doesn't even know what happened to him. That feeling made him uncomfortable.
“But.. I just want to check the wound.”
“Can you guys not make out like that in front of me?”
“Ehem.” Ivan neutralizes his feelings as soon as possible after realizing Devano's presence there. His hand moved to embrace Fimela, drawing her closer so that there was no distance between them.
“What's the reason?” Reply Ivan with a defiant look here.
Devano just shook his shoulders. He leaned against the wall with his hands folded in front of his chest in front of Ivan and Fimela. “Can I borrow Fimela for a moment, senior? I just want to talk.” Devano deliberately emphasized the word ‘senior’ intending to mock.
Although Ivan showed an expressionless face, but it was clear from the look of his eyes that stared with a condescending look that he did not like. “Talk here.” He said a short warning.
“This is a personal matter, can I take him away for a while?” Devano still does not want to lose, he still insisted on talking alone with Fimela.
Hearing the word ‘personal problems’ makes Fimela raise her head. “Senior.” Call her. Ivan lowered his gaze, making their eyes meet. At that instant, Fimela looked at him with a glare.
As if bewitched with that debilitating gaze, Ivan reluctantly took off his embrace and freed Fimela. “Don't be long. I'm waiting for you to be bagged.” He said, then left immediately without waiting for Fimela's answer. He didn't want to until he changed his mind.

On the way to the canteen, Ivan was really annoyed with a man named Devano. Just disturbs his fun.
“Oy, why? See sightings? Wait.. Your face why?”
Hearing that very familiar voice made Ivan even more irritated and annoyed. “Stop bothering me before I think about venting my frustration at you.”
“Didn't you think that? Means I don't have to stop.” His words were challenging. He knew how cruel and sadistic this person he was challenging was. But as frightening and regrettable as Ivan was, he wouldn't mess up what he had painstakingly arranged himself.
Ivan made his move, he did not want to deal with that one astral being. “Come on, just say it. Who would dare to upset you? I don't think he wants his life anymore.”
He suddenly stopped, but things were still quiet. ‘What sambet?’ Ignacio.
“Ahh, stop. I'm tired.” Ivan just left Ignacio there. “Devano Ferely yes? Who exactly is he? He could make Ivan this sorry at once can't do anything. Interesting.”
-----
“What do you want to say?” Fimela asked in an urgent tone, wanting to finish this conversation immediately. He felt a little uncomfortable with this person. Like there is anger, hate, frustration, resentment, and all kinds of other negative feelings when together with him.
“Can I go stale for a moment? We haven't talked together in a long time like this.” Her speech. The look in his eyes depicted sadness and regret very clearly. However, this was different from what Fimela felt. The negative feelings that Fimela felt were fixed on Devano. Meanwhile, the feeling depicted in his gaze was fixed for himself.
“How is your grandmother doing? Is he okay? I haven't heard from him in a long time.”
This was only the first sentence and it had already managed to make Fimela shaken. “You.. k-you know about my grandmother?” Said Fimela softly with trembling lips. Her eyes were hot and teary, trying to shed tears. But Fimela held on as hard as she could to not cry.
Devano nodded, “Sure. You may not remember this, but he is a very inspiring person, for me. He is a strong and strong person, very great. And I remember very well that he was a very important person to you. You always tell me about it when we're walking around the playground in the afternoon.”
Pieces of memory as he plays with Devano surround a park, riding various kinds of games flashed in Fimela's memory. Instantly, his head ached, dizzy. It was as if a hard object had hit his head very strongly.
“Argh.” Fimela held onto her head which was wracked with this immense pain. His sight began to blur. Darkness tried to take his consciousness, but Fimela brushed him aside with all her might. He doesn't want to faint at a time like this.
“You... is it okay? Can I take you to the health room?” Ask Devano. The feeling of worry was clearly heard in her voice.
Fimela shook her head quickly, “No, no need. I.. excuse me.” Fimela stepped foot quickly away from Devano. He should have followed his instinct to stay away from her.
If there was anywhere near the man, Fimela always felt alert. His heart was pounding, his chest felt tight as if it was holding back anger. Like there was something that always ignited his anger when he was with Devano. What the hell is going on? What's he forgetting? Why would he be so sad for this guy?
Fimela shook her head strongly to drive all those questions out of her head. Without a second thought, he stepped into the cafeteria.
-----
Seeing Fimela's reaction, she seems to be enduring extreme pain, making Devano doubtful about her decision to restore Fimela's memories of the good memories they once shared.
Am I wrong? I should how?
He was walking down the corridor to his class and the question was spinning in his head. He did not care about the teacher who would scold him for being late for class or his reputation would be ruined because of it. He kept thinking about what he would do next.
His daydreams split when someone called him from behind, “Nak, wait a minute.” Devano turned his head and found a beautiful woman with a formal uniform typical of a teacher.
“Can you help Mom? Give this to Sister Dairy. Have him check this file and sign it. After that, bring it back to Mom's room at the office.”
Devano took the file, “Sorry mom, I'm a new student here. I don't know your name.” He said politely, he did not want to make a mistake when talking to a teacher.
“Ah, really? I don't know if there are new students today. Just call ‘Bu Vicha’. If you don't know the location of a particular room, just ask anyone you meet. Do it as soon as possible, Mom really needs it soon.”
Devano nodded then bowed respectfully, “Good, bu.”
Ms. Vicha responded with a small nod and then immediately turned around and left from there, just like someone who was busy with a pile of work waiting to be done.
