The Journey of Young CEO Love

Part 22's. A bully?

...---Happy reading---...

Days change, Ara's life is the same as before, college and work. It's just that his work is a little lighter, only teaching the younger brother of his boss. It's been a week, now, but Gio has not returned yet when the man said just a few days ahead as well as his mother a few days ago the man's mother said only stay three to four days ahead but the man it hasn't come back yet.

Ara sighed softly staring at her phone hoping for news from someone. Not hypocritical, Ara misses the man but also the prestige of contacting him first.

"What do you expect, Ra", muttered Ara staring at her phone screen in a doldrums.

A week later Ara realizes one thing, she likes the man, Ara's hopes of becoming more than friends with the man growing brash. Sometimes he thinks what he should do to make the feeling go away or at least not grow too big. He was afraid that it would hurt him later.

Ara looked up at the person who had just sat right in front of her. Instantly Ara snorted angrily at this man who was always bothering her.

"Ngapain?", asked Ara unfriendly.

"Sit down", said the man relaxed.

Ara sighed softly, she had no right to forbid or expel this man because of this in the cafeteria, a public place. Ara refocused on her phone screen which still displays room chat with Gio.

"Wait for who?" asked Ken. The man who always bullied Ara was calmly sitting in front of Ara ignoring all the eyes that were now shining on them. Honestly Ara was a little uncomfortable, especially when she saw the girl in the corner there looking at them with a hateful look.

Ara just silently did not respond to Ken's question, especially when the last seen on the contact she had seen changed to online and then a few seconds turned into typing. Ara's smile expanded waiting for what the man would tell her.

"Meet me at the xxx park later in the afternoon", that's the content of the message sent by Gio to make Ara's smile expand instantly. If that means that Gio has come home, my goodness Ara is so happy now.

Every move Ara never separated from Ken's gaze made his heart throb a little pain when he saw Ara's sweet smile that he never showed for him.

"Ra, then go ahead" asked Ken who managed to take Ara's eyes off his phone screen after replying to the message.

"I work", said Ara with a flat face to make Ken smile wryly.

"Gue can use your coercion method, Ra", said Ken smiling obliquely.

"I work, Ken. Don't force me", Ara said, leaving Ken still staring at his back.

A small smile rose in Ken's lips before he muttered, "gue is still silent, Ra. If you still don't want to, don't blame me for using the rough way",

Another with Ara who stepped foot was about to go to the library but was blocked and pulled roughly made her shocked.

"Detach" said Ara trying to take off her hand.

After arriving beside the desolate female toliet, the one who blocked her hand took off her cheque violently.

"Gue told you never to go near Ken, you really well", annoyed the guy and pulled Ara's hair hard.

She's, Veronica Herald. The girl who said she was one of Ken's girlfriends. The most popular girl on campus, known to many people because of the beauty and power of the girl. When compared to Ara, the girl was far above him.

Veronica and her two friends, Gina and Anggun, laughed loudly at Ara's words. The pull on Ara's hair was getting harder.

"How beautiful you are until he is near you" said Veronica then push Ara's body to hit the wall.

"Everything you tell your girlfriend not to let me continue", said Ara bravely.

After saying that, Ara's cheek was hot from the slap Veronica had just laid. Now it was not only his back that hurt but also his cheeks. As much as possible Ara held back her tears from flowing. This is one that he does not like if Ken always approaches him, this girl in front of him is always rude to him if he finds out that, even if it is clear that Ken is approaching Ara, Ara will be the moons.

"Dare ya lo now", annoyed Veronica. He would at least like it if someone else were to argue or act so boldly before him.

"Standing lo", Gina's jolt pulled Ara to her feet properly.

"Hold", Veronica ordered.

Gina and Anggun's reflexes, Veronica's friend holds Ara's hand until Ara can't escape, even when the girl rebels it feels like it will be useless.

"Down, what do you want" Ara said in a panic as she watched Veronica lift the bucket filled with dirty water.

Byurrrs

Veronica doused Ara with water making the entire body of the girl wet. Back, Veronica's slap back made her cheeks hot. Not quite there yet, Veronica pulled back Ara's hair. The girl looked at Ara with a look of hatred.

"Gue already said, you will know the consequences if you are still reckless near Ken. And you really don't horrify me huh", annoyed Veronica.

"Once again I see lo deket with him, you will get worse than this" said the brunette then threw the body rough Ara. After that, the three girls who had already tortured Ara waltzed away leaving Ara without a care.

Ara was silent withstanding her cries and ringing. As for this, he had to go home there was no way that he would enter class today. Withstanding the pain on her body, Ara got up slowly and washed her face in the bathroom sink. He stared for a long time at the reflection of his face in the mirror. The situation is now very sad, wet clothes with disheveled hair and reddened eyes hold back tears.

"Bundaa.".", murmured Ara. Without a single tear her eyes flowed as well.

"What's wrong?, Ara tired",

Ara wiped her rough tears and sighed softly. He cannot be weak. The long-haired girl fixed her hairstyle and then stepped out of the toilet, she had to go home. With a chaotic mind, Ara stepped her feet down the sidewalk of the road. He didn't understand why Veronica always disliked him, why it was always like this. To be honest, though, this kind of violence not only he got from his own family but also his friends like that and it lasted not in a short time but it had been many years even to be said when he first time setting foot in the campus world, they already do not like the reason is simple, just because of a man. Him, Ken. That man was the reason why Veronica always used to be rude to him.

Ara sighed softly trying to dampen the tightness in her chest, really for whatever sake she was tired. He's tired of living like this. Why should he be the one who is doing all this. What's wrong, what he's done in the past to be treated like this. He must fight alone in the cruel world, no one understands and no one cares. Ara felt like she really wanted to catch up with her mother and father but if she left who would take care of her grandmother. Ara never complained that if forced to work to support herself and her grandmother, she was just tired of the treatment of people who hated her so much without her knowing her faults.

The notification sound from his phone broke Ara's daydream. The girl wiped her tears and reached into her totebag took the cheek. One incoming message from someone made him pull his thin smile.

"I'll wait, don't stay long if you don't want me to make fun of it here"
