The Missing Voice's

| Chapter 6: Cruel Temptation |

Jack's eyes seemed to drift in the blonde girl's sapphire bead. Although his ego cursed and said to be conscious, but his body rejected him. He stood still, wanting to feel like he was shouting and cursing at the girl but his tongue was a little bit off. He couldn't even make a sound. Absolutely miraculous, Emma's eye sight was able to paralyze a caramel head with the William surname. They were still like that for a few minutes, until the thunderous sound of thunder resuscitated the two. Really Jack was very grateful because he felt saved, by holding back his annoyance, he turned his face away. Emma, he turned away too. He cursed at himself who was almost washed away in the eyes of Emerald a Jack William. However, he slowly smiled, a smile that was invisible to anyone. Until suddenly Emma pulled out a yellow umbrella and plaster with a note on it, Jack turned and read the note, the Note reads

[Use this for your wound and wear this to protect you from the rain]

"I don't need it!" jack replied, raising the corner of his lips.

As if not hearing Jack's answer, Emma grabbed the young man's hand and gave him an umbrella and plaster. Then he immediately stepped away, out of the lobby and let himself be drenched in the rain. Jack nodded, he fell silent. Slowly his eyes stared at the yellow umbrella and plaster that were in his grasp, and a strange feeling began to run through his inner niche. It hurts and hurts, it hurts. He snorted in annoyance, trying to drive away those uninvited feelings.

On the side of the road, Emma stepped foot along the road leading to William's residence. Emma who is dirty is deliberately allowed to fall into the rain.

"It's better than having to go home with a dirty body and uniform" Emma said in her heart.

Emma kept walking, until she suddenly felt the rain not soaking her body, she stopped. The sound of a hunting breath was clearly heard from behind him. Slowly, he twisted his body and how surprised he found the figure in front of him.

"Jack?" call Emma in your heart.

Being too surprised, Emma did not even realize that the distance between her and Jack was only a few jengkal. The rain is getting heavier, the wind blowing makes the water that should immediately plunge down into a turn wet the body of the back of Emma. swiftly, Jack reached out his left hand. Grabbing Emma's waist and making her approach, or rather making the girl hug her. Emma was wide-eyed, her breath began to hunt, a red tinge began to decorate her face which was now clean due to the rain. His heart was beating faster than usual, he could feel that his body was starting to heat up while the figure that was holding him . . .

"His heart was beating faster" said Emma in her heart, who now hugged Jack, could feel the beating of the young caramel's heart.

"Bas stupid, what sane girl would want herself to be drenched in such rain" said Jack in his cold tone. But, there was no response from the interlocutor.

"And what foolish girl would lend her umbrella to someone else at a time like this?" this time, Emma slowly reacted, she began to move away and raised her head, looking at Jack. Because, when she heard Jack's words, Emma immediately realized from nature which a few seconds ago froze her.

"What?" Jack asked coldly, but when he looked into the sapphire's eyes, again he could not wrinkle and drown.

"Thank you for worrying about me" Emma said in her heart, lowering Jack's hand around her waist.

"But, sorry. I'm not in need of attention right now" Emma's heart said, with her flat eyes out of the arena. Walk while letting himself wet by rain water again.

As far as Emma is concerned, Jack is aware. He clucked and cursed so.

"Damn! What the hell am I doing? I hate him, hate him, hate him so much. No words of forgiveness and mercy for him" said Jack with sharp shiny eyes.

"But . . Why is this?" jack said then in a soft tone, he held onto his chest which was feeling hot and tight.

While elsewhere. The highway to Jack's residential estate, a luxury car, stops at a red light. In the car, sat an amber-haired young man with a bruised face. That was Brian Petrenkov. Brian looked out with a look of laughter, now in his brain filled with the shadow of the blond girl surnamed Michelle who had managed to stop in his heart. The girl's gaze, her smile, her patience, her body that sometimes quivered in fear, as well as her sometimes brave behavior. It really makes Brian unable to refuse to be dominated by the charm of the girl. However, Brian's memory slowly recalls a time when Emma was always bowed in fear. The fear of all looking at him was full of hate and anger. And all of that is a slander. Brian clenched his hand.

"I'm not going to let this go, let's see Jack, who's going to give up in the end?" brian murmured while smiling meaningfully.

"I'm still patient because you're my friend, but if you still don't admit it, then I can do something more" Brian continued and he grinned, a terrible grin. A sneer that could make everyone shudder and fear in an instant.

"Young master, don't you want to stop by the hospital?" ask the driver, Rudolf.

"Hn?" Brian only raised one eyebrow, this time he looked different, really not like Brian usually. The driver, who felt the atmosphere change, repeated his words before his young master was enraged.

"I don't think it's necessary, the equipment and medicine at home is complete" Rudolf continued, and Brian turned his face away with a sigh.

"Young master is so creepy that like this, I really never expected to see this side of him" Rudolf said inwardly.

The traffic light turns to green, meaning road. Rudolf ran his car as he glanced through Brian's expression glass. But this time, Brian looks calm even though his gaze is still sharp and his hands are still clenched. Rudolf could sigh calmly, finally his young master returned to normal.

In an elite housing. A luxurious house with bright blue paint. Brian got out of the car and just walked into the house. At home, Madam Chassandra was already waiting worriedly because it was raining and Brian asked for an invitation. Very rarely, Brian will usually prefer the rain and go home wet. But this time . . .

"Brian" shouted the mother and immediately grabbed at her son, groping Brian's bruised face and torn lips. How appalling.

"What's going on? What's with your face?" ask Madame Chassandra.

"Bashing into something really hard ma'am" Brian replied flatly.

"Why are you fighting?" madam Chassandra asked, she knows the situation. Because every time Brian fights or gets hurt he will always say that he hit something. What a vain lie. But this does not mean that Brian likes to fight or hurt himself.

"I'm tired mom, I want to take a warm bath" Brian said, trying to shift the subject.

"Well, I'll prepare it. But after a shower, treat your wounds or mom will drag you to the hospital?" said the mother in a slightly threatening tone.

"Okay, mom" Brian replied and headed to his room.

After Madam Chassandra prepared warm water, Brian began to soak. But when the water touched his wound, he grimaced in pain. His eyes were still glaring, he recalled a moment ago when he had a fist fight with Jack.

~ Flashback ~

"Brian! Stop that!" yelled Nick

"Fuck your trust, Brian!" jack said on the sidelines with him.

"Shut your mouth, Jack!" brian said to reply.

Jack smacked Brian in the face. Not wanting to waste a chance, Jack immediately oppressed Brian and beat him mercilessly in the face. Brian turned things around, now it was his turn to beat Jack in the face with a punch that was no less loud. They wrestle until someone blows the whistle. Melvin came with two members of OSIS and they swiftly separated the two young men unravel caramel and amber.

"Curtain! You're being rude, Brian!" shouting Jack.

"Basic Fuck!" brian shouted no less wrathful.

"STOP IT!" melvin shouted and the two stopped.

"Jack, Brian, I asked who started this?" ask Melvin.

"HIM" Jack and Brian replied simultaneously and pointed at each other.

"Hey, you started Brian" Jack said.

"You're accusing me? Obviously you hit me first" Brian said.

"I won't hit you if you don't look for it" Jack said.

"I didn't do anything wrong, you just got emotional" Brian said.

Jack got on the black, he thrashed and his hands were already punching, it was like he was hitting Brian again. But the grip of the OSIS members is very strong, finally he just screams and curses so-so.

"Both of you!" melvin said raising his tone.

"Because you have fought and hit each other, you will be punished for one week to reflect on your mistakes" Melvin said later.

"Curtain!" sigh Jack with his grin.

"Jack. You're punished for mopping the floor in the first floor corridor, and you're Brian. You were punished for cleaning the teacher's toilet" Melvin said.

The condemned as if they had not heard Melvin's words. They keep staring at each other sharply. If you can, it feels like Jack killed Brian right then and there, the problem will be solved. He did not need to argue and hear the words or advice that sounded taboo in his ears. Melvin sighed, he coded his men to release the two ringleaders, and they followed him. Brian patted his basketball uniform and then passed. Picked up his bag and immediately left the indoor room, before his defense failed. Defense where he held back to finish Jack. right in the doorway, he glanced at Jack and snorted as if mocking or belittling?

~ Flashback End ~

Brian came out of the bathroom with a body wrapped in a towel. Showing his burly and muscular body. He opened the closet and picked up the clothes randomly and immediately put them on. He went to his bed, where his mother had prepared red medicine and plaster for his wounds. His eyes narrowed.

"Jack, just wait, there's a time when you're going to regret everything" Brian said.

In the same elite housing not far from Brian's house. Emma opens the door and goes to her room before Azzury and the others see her, behind her is Jack. His eyes were sharp, his eyes were reddened and glazed, his hatred was so intense that it could not even be measured by the parameters of anger. He always wanted to torture and see Emma suffer, but why lately there is a strange sense in him that can not be translated with words.

"Then this is the case, I just have to make sure" Jack said inwardly.

Have dinner. All have sat in their respective seats, but never touch the food because Jack has not yet come down. Shortly thereafter, Jack came down with a face full of plaster. The same plaster as Emma's or Emma's plaster? Seeing the hysterical state of her son, Azzury's mistress, she stands up just as Jack sits down.

"Jack! what's wrong with your face?" ask lady Azzury.

"Mum's a habit, fighting with Luke and Darren" Jack replied.

"Again?" mr. Mark's question emphasized his voice, and managed to make anyone who heard it goosebumps.

"Why? It's common" Jack.

"Jack!" the father said and was cut off by his wife.

"It's okay to fight as long as you know the limits, yes . . . . I think fights between men are common, it indicates that you're an adult" said Nyoya Azzury defending her son.

While the defendant can only hiss. Emma looked at Jack at a glance, she just understood the reason why Jack's face was bruised.

******

The clock shows at 22:35 PM local time. Jack is called by his father to his study. Unpleasant feelings began to come to him. He guessed that his father would scold him. Clasping his hands, he prepared himself for the next few seconds and minutes.

In Mark's office. He sat on his desk with a sharp look. He saw the son begin to enter the room with a lazy look. Mark's veins had already poked out, clearly he was very angry.

"Jack! don't lie to me, it's not the wound you get from your nasty fight with Darren or Luke, is it?" search for Mr. Mark.

"I told you, dad, this is .." said Jack and was immediately cut by his father.

"JACK!" screeched Mr. Mark.

"Yes, dad" Jack replied lazily.

"You know the consequences of lying, right?" ask the father.

"It doesn't matter if my pocket money is cut, but I don't take responsibility if my stock can sell" Jack replied coldly.

"JACK!" the father kicked down the table and stood up, he looked at his son intent.

"I got into a fight with Brian, are you satisfied?" then Jack said.

"I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep" Jack said and left his father's study.

While Mr. Mark, he sighed while stroking his chest. Calm down in the face of his selfish and stubborn son. He even wondered if there were women who liked Jack and even wanted to be his fiancee. That's fucking damn girl.

Jack slammed the door of his room hard until it sounded until the first floor. And next door, Emma jumped. You can guess who did it. Jack was really upset. Today was his unlucky day, and he remembered why this could happen to him. He immediately went to his study table and took a hanger. Yeah, Emma's amulet-shaped hanger. Because of all his misfortune. His eyes narrowed, he clasped the hanger tightly and threw it against the wall.

"Damn it!" aspersons Jack.

Jack's eyes sparkled, he stood still while staring at the hanger with a look of hatred, annoyance and various feelings of wrath. Outside, the rain was still greeting, the wind was blowing violently knocking on Jack's room window. Lightning split the sky and the sound of thunder rumbling adorned the night very frustrating for Jack. he even to the point of shaking resisted the turmoil in his chest, near him the hanger. his feet floated, preparing to hit the hanger with his stomp. He stomped his foot, but suddenly his leg was restrained. The memory in his head rotated, like a cassette tape that replayed the events he had recorded.

~ Flashback ~

Little Jack was playing sand alone in the park near his grandfather's house. He is not alone because he is accompanied by a cat named Nico. Jack smiled happily when he managed to make a palace with sand, he chattered to Nico hoping the cat would respond. But all he got was the miaw sound of the cat. Jack was bowed lethargic until . . .

"Wuah! Nice palace" the little girl shouted and approached, Jack turned his head. He saw a little boy with a jacket that covered his head and sunglasses that covered his eyes. What a strange appearance.

"Who are you?" look at Jack and the little girl looks at Jack. The little girl was wide-eyed, she did not expect who the little boy in front of her was. He immediately opened his hood and glasses. And now there is a figure behind the hood. A little girl with blonde hair and sapphire eyes.

"You?" jack did not believe it.

"Emma" said Emma correcting your name.

"Emm? Why are you here?" ask Jack.

"Not Emm, but Emma. E M A M. Emma" said Emma.

"And I . . just happened to run and accidentally saw this park" said Emma.

"Oh" replied Jack, rounding his lips, and Emma laughed. He thought the boy in front of him was funny.

"Oh yeah, what's your name?" ask Emma.

"Jack" Jack replied.

"Oh" Emma turns her lips together and Jack is fascinated, and they end up laughing together.

******

The next few days.

"Hey, Emm! Grandpa said there's going to be a summer festival tonight" Jack said as he sat down and shook his legs.

The sun was very hot that day. Tempting everyone to eat or drink something fresh like ice cream for example. Emma is indifferent, she is busy with her vanilla ice cream.

"You hear me, Emm?" call Jack.

"Emm?" call Jack.

"What?" emma asked, still focused on the ice cream, so Jack was impatient and grabbed the ice cream from the little girl's hand.

"Hey!" Emma could not accept, she wanted to protest, but was restrained to see Jack's expression.

"Jack, what's wrong?" ask Emma a little guilty.

"Do you want to go to the festival with me?" pinta Jack with a shy.

Emma down. Actually he heard Jack's rant from earlier, but he had a schedule that night.he had to attend an event on one of the television stations. There's no way he's said that to Jack, because he hasn't told him who he really is. It's like to go with Jack, but whatever other circumstances may be. Emma forced her lips to keep smiling and looked at the caramel-haired child next to her.

"I'm sorry Jack" Emma replied.

Hearing Emma's reply, Jack fell down. Not because of the rejection he got but the smile of the little girl who was very clearly lying and hiding something. He wanted to ask, but his tongue was faint. His voice stung in the throat. Emma who saw Jack's expression change to guilt, reached out her hand and patted the boy on the shoulder.

"You okay? I'm sorry" Emma and Jack said, raising their heads as they showed off the grins.

"It's okay, Emm. We can go together next time. After all the festival is held every year" Jack said excitedly.

"Other times? Can I do it? No, I mean can I expect it? I lied to you?" emma said in her heart.

"Alright" replied Emma with a sweet smile.

Sunday night is coming. Jack and his grandmother go to a summer festival. Jack was so happy, never had he come to a place like that. His eyes twinkled and he ran here and there making his grandparents worried and yelling asking him to be careful. Jack went around followed his grandparents behind, suddenly his Emerald eyes were attracted by a stand. He immediately darted away from his grandparents and approached the stand. On the stand it was all red, Jack's favorite color.

"Do you want to buy a good luck charm, son?" ask the merchant.

"A fetish? What does that look like?" ask Jack plain.

"There certainly is" said the merchant and took out a box of talisman-shaped hangers. It's red with the inscription 'Lucky'.

"Wuah, Great . . . What's the writing?" ask Jack."Lucky means good luck" replied the merchant.

"I'll take one!" jack said while giving a dime, gently the merchant took it and counted, but the money was less. Realizing the merchant's expression, Jack asked again.

"What's my money lacking, om?" little Jack asked with a sad expression.

"No, this is enough, son. Take it, after all it's a festival" said the merchant with a friendly smile.

"really? Then thank you very much, o'm" said Jack, smiling and lifting the hanger up, a feeling of pleasure filling his little chest.

******

Afternoon in Allison. In a park, little Jack sat on a swing and occasionally stomped his feet. His hand was clutched by a hanger he bought a few days ago at the festival. A sigh of agitation and uneasiness began to envelop his little heart, his eyes began to wander, he was waiting. Waiting for the little blonde girl who lately always accompany him to play. It has been 6 days since I last saw him.

"Will it come?" little Jack muttered in a voice that started to hoarse.

The wind blew Jack's caramel head, Jack turned his head towards the park entrance. A shadow stood there, the shadow was getting closer and closer and now stood right in front of Jack.how surprised he found who it was. the figure he was waiting for, the figure that was able to shake his heart, and the, the figure he missed.

"Emm" call Jack.

"Yes, Jack" Emma answered with a sweet smile, and Jack smiled and stood up

"You're waiting for me, aren't you?" little Emma asked with a mischievous smile.

"What's? No. Where possible, don't joke" elak Jack and throw away his face, a thin red hue adorning his cheek, seeing that Emma was chuckling.

"Hey, how's your festival going? Is that fun?" ask Emma while sitting on the swing next to Jack.

"Hmm, that's it" Jack replied.

The afternoon was spent by Jack telling him what he saw and did at the festival. He told stories with passionate enthusiasm, making Emma always laugh. Jack really became a good storyteller until he suddenly shut up, Emma realized the strangeness of his friend. With trembling hands, Jack held out a red talisman-shaped hanger to Emma. Emma was confused, she tilted her head.

"For you" said Jack timidly.

"Forku?" asked Emma in disbelief, she took the hanger.

"That's a good luck charm" Jack said without turning his head toward Emma.

"Thank you, Jack, this will be a precious item for me" Emma replied as she hugged Jack's gift, with a hint of pride Jack turned to look at Emma's current expression. and how surprised he was when he saw the face of Emma who was very happy.

"This is my first gift from a friend" Emma replied.

"Emm . ." Call Jack again.

"I'm sorry if it's just simple. Next time, I'll give you something more valuable than this, something you'll take care of your whole life" Jack continued.

Emma was flabbergasted, she did not expect to hear those words from Jack, but somehow her heart was always calm and her lips were unceasingly smiling when she was with him. Perhaps they were already bound by the thread of fate, that was the only conclusion Emma could draw.

~ Flashback End ~

Little Emma's voice was ringing in her head.

Thank you, Jack, this is gonna be a precious item for me.

And, Emma's writing she read came to her head.

A very precious hanger for me.

Jack pulled his leg immediately and held his head.Small Emma's voice kept ringing in his head followed by the writing he read on Emma's note a few hours ago. Both said that the hanger was valuable. The precious word kept on being depressed in his brain, Jack growled, he shook his head. His breath gasped, his feet began to limp, and he sat on the floor. He did not expect to remember that memory, a memory he painstakingly buried. His eyes were shiny, still holding his head, he wondered.

"worthily? That's right" said Jack laughing sarcastically.

"Precious to say? It's not even more than a piece of trash. So, why are you still keeping it?" ask Jack for a monologue. His chest started to ache again, a feeling he hated so much.

"Save this but you forget me" Jack continued.

"Forget what you've done to me. My treatment back then was with tubal water, Emm. So did you forget about it on purpose?" ask Jack again.

Jack's body shook violently. All the anger was mixed with a thousand question marks that filled his mind and mind. He braked again and hit the floor until his hands bled. Blood flowed from his fist, but it was not enough to overcome all his irritation.

"Daddy Michelle. I'll make sure of everything. It may be cruel, but I hope you can open those eyes" Jack said in his heart.

In the next room, Emma had not slept. He was agitated to think about where his precious hangers went. Sometimes he wakes up and sleeps again. There's nowhere, not even a landfill. Should he let it go? All questions ran through his mind. Not feeling his eyes began to water and clear liquid dripping down his face, touched the liquid, Emma pulled her knees and cried.

"Mama, how is this. The precious hanger is gone? The hangers I always keep. The lucky hangers that always accompany me. Is it true that I have to lose it? God, don't I lose enough?" emma said in her heart.

Emma continued to cry until she was exhausted and fell asleep. Likewise with Jack, he was exhausted after venting anger and annoyance. Jack falls asleep on the floor of his room with his hands clutching Emma's hanger. The rain was getting heavier, as if tireless to be the sound of the accompaniment of the two people who were suffering with their minds. Even thunder was also unceasingly greeting into complementary music.

******

Tomorrow at Chorea Academy. It was still morning and the school was still quiet, only an amber-haired student with a face filled with plaster got down from the car then walked with both hands into his pants pocket. He occasionally sighed, trying to calm himself down so as not to let go like yesterday. His legs continued to walk, climbing the stairs and even passing through the corridors of his class. His feet took him to the roof of the school. Brian took a deep breath and threw it away. Now he had calmed down again, pulling his right hand out of his pocket. A disc was there, his eyes narrowed.

"With this I can prove Emma's innocence. But if it's like that, Jack won't get a lesson. I'm sorry Emma, you have to wait a little longer. I just want to make Jack confess everything with his own mouth. That way he felt what it was that his name was humiliated by self ." Said Brian.

It was Jack's habit before he went to class, he sat in the back garden bench of the school.This time he looked up his head to the hanger in his right hand. He breathed heavily. Suddenly a familiar voice called out to him. Who else if not the lover, immediately Jack hid the hanger in the pocket of his school suit. Chloe's approaching.

"Jack, what's wrong with you?" ask Chloe to touch Jack's face, Jack to throw away. She doesn't want Chloe to see it.

"It's nothing, it's just an unqualified fight with Darren and Luke" Jack replied lying. This is the second time he's lied to Chloe.

"You shouldn't get emotional, no matter how much they're your friends" Chloe said.

"Other times, don't hurt yourself like this. This will become a habit later on" Chloe advised, and Jack smiled at her. The forced smile?

"Oh yeah, Jack, I heard your dad's home" Chloe said, later changing the subject.

"Oh" replied Jack briefly.

"Our engagement is one month away" Chloe said with her red face "Hey, Jack. How about you accompany me tomorrow week" she said.

"Alright" Jack replied, smiling at Chloe.

Seeing Jack's second smile today, Chloe's heart somehow slit. Jack's smile this time was very different, like being forced to be more precise. He suspected that something must have happened. He knows who Jack is. So it's easy to guess if Jack is lying or hiding something.

The bell rings the first hour mark is about to begin. Jack and Chloe move out of the back garden. All the way to class, not a word came out of Jack. Finally they split up, Jack on the 2nd floor while Chloe on the 3rd floor.

******

Classes 1-8. Chloe entered the class with a downcast face, knowing the expression of her best friend, Cheryl immediately asked but as if not heard, Chloe just kept quiet. Cheryl's forehead shriveled, she guessed what happened and got a click on her head. This must be all about Emma Michelle. Cheryl clasped his hand, she was really upset. Not only is his approach with Darren hindered, even Chloe and Jack's relationship is also on the verge of collapse. All of this is because of Emma. she decides to teach Emma a lesson.

In the 1-5 class. Jack came in and sat down on his bench again. Darren and Luke glared at Jack's face. It's really scary, a Jack William can be battered to such an extent.for sure that hit him is also not sane. At least that's what Darren thinks. With attention, near her best friend.

"What's wrong with your face, Jack?" ask Darren.

"You don't see?" jack replied with a question, his tone cynical.

"You fighting? With who? I don't think Darren punched you yesterday" Luke said.

"Fuck you, Luke. I wasn't that crazy to hit Jack to the point of making his face unrecognizable" Darren replied.

Hearing the words of Darren who said that he was unrecognizable, Jack's eyebrows raised. He glanced at Darren, and the one who was stared at realized the cold was piercing him. He gulped and tried to shift the conversation back to the topic.

"So, with whom?" ask Darren again.

Right after Darren asked his question, Brian walked in. Everyone turned their heads and looked at him full of question marks and astonishment. Because Brian's handsome face disappeared like swallowed by the earth. Replaced bruised face decorated with lots of plaster. He immediately sat down, ignoring all the pairs of eyes that were staring at him. Seeing that, Emma rounded her eyes. There was a sense of worry when looking at Brian like that, Emma's eyes softened at Brian from a distance. While Brian, his eyes glanced to feel there was a gaze that was more than the other gaze, he found Emma was looking at him gently mixed with worry. Her sapphire eyes were really beautiful, but Brian's heart suddenly hurt. He threw away his face avoiding Emma's gaze.he could not look at Emma, because he who already had evidence of Emma's innocence instead hid it.

"Not for now" Brian said in his heart.

Darren looked at Jack and Brian in turn. Their faces were equally bruised, but Brian's face was worse. Darren furrowed his brows, he knew the origin of the cause. Her lips opened to say something, but Mr. Aldrick's in class. Darren paused his intention and would ask later. He returned to his seat. During class, he kept thinking about why Jack and Brian were fighting.

"Brian is not a man who likes to overcome problems with his fists. He couldn't have done it had Jack not made him so angry and out of control. But what got Brian out of control? He will always face all situations calmly" said Darren.

Darren's eyes accidentally saw Emma's blonde hair.

"Yes, Jack hates it. Wait, is it possible that Jack did something to Emma to make Brian angry? This makes sense considering Brian is very close to Emma. But what's that something?" inner Darren wondered.

The clock did not show at 12:00 local time. It's time for lunch. All the students sighed, eventually their stomachs would be filled as well. Learning does drain a lot of energy. Brian and Nick drop out of class, Emma is about to stand up but realizes Brian ignoring her makes her stop. Mugi was astonished, she tilted her head.

"Why, Em?" question Mugi and answer with Emma's weak slingshot.

"Oh yeah, Em. Come to the cafeteria, you didn't have lunch yesterday, did you? This time I won't let you go" Mugi and Emma followed her friend out of class.

In class, Jack laid his head on the table. He is very lazy to just fill the stomach, his mind is still confused, although now it is more mengedan, but his body is not. The effects of last night are still felt. Luke was about to yell at his friend, but Darren held him back. Leaving Jack to himself was the best solution. They leave Jack, while the abandoned look out the window and sigh. Realizing the class was deserted, he took out Emma's hanger from his pocket, looking at her. His eyes began to narrow, and he sighed again. I don't know if he did it the umpteenth time.

Emma's at the cafeteria, she's in line. He looked for money in his suit and skirt, but he could not find it. Immediately Emma out of line while giving Mugi a note.

"I went back to class, my money was left behind" Emma said in a note.

Mugi patted his eel. He did not expect that Emma was a typical person who was bored, considering that the other day Emma also left her sports clothes. Emma ran to her class away from the school cafeteria and continued to pant. When he was in class, he opened the door and realized the class was quiet. There was only Jack sleeping on his desk. Emma ignored him, he immediately took his money and walked away, but the baritone voice stopped him.

"HOI!" call Jack, Emma looked over.

Jack stood up, he moved from his place and approached Emma. he stopped right in front of Emma. Emma was stared at a moment later he pointed a hanger at Emma. how shocked Emma was to see what was in front of her or rather in Jack's hands. The hangers he was looking for, the hangers were precious.

"Here" said Jack flatly, throwing his face away.

Slowly, Emma took the hanger, the hanger was closed, her smile was broken, her eyes were glazed. He was so grateful to have his hanger back. Seeing that Jack just upped his lip. Until suddenly . . . Emma hugged him. Jack's eyes widened, he did not expect it.

"Emm" called Jack, he raised his hand to return Emma's embrace, but he remembered that the girl who hugged him was the girl he hated. Hand restrained.

In the corridor to grade 1-5, Chloe smiled as she hummed. He hugged his arm tightly. Hoping that Jack would be surprised, he stepped foot into the 1-5th grade. He opened the classroom door slowly, but to his surprise he saw what was happening. Emma hugged Jack. Chloe smothered her mouth, refraining from shouting. His eyes let out a clear liquid, and with a carefree trickle the clear liquid dripped down his cheeks. All his worries really happened. He immediately ran away from the classroom, he ran with his eyes rubbed.

Jack's hands clenched, Emma let go of his embrace. He wrote a note to Jack.

"Thank you, Jack, you found it. I'm really grateful, I don't know how I'm going to repay you" Emma wrote.

Reading the note, Jack laughed. How stupid the girl in front of him was.

"You're thanking me? Hmh! Very funny" Jack replied in his heart.

"Either. But, why do you keep such things? it's shabby, wouldn't you rather buy it again?" jack asked later, he wanted to ascertain why the girl still kept the gift, which even he himself had forgotten that he gave.

"Oh, I just feel like I have to take care of this" Emma replied in a note.

Jack clenched his hand. He was upset, because Emma's answer didn't answer all the questions that were whipping in his mind, which made him almost crazy overnight.

"Is that someone's gift?" ask Jack coldly.

Emma frowned. He thought for a moment to answer Jack.

"Maybe. I don't remember" Emma replied.

"You don't remember? or forgotten?" ask Jack in your heart.

"If you don't remember, why should you keep it?" look at Jack, his tone is starting to get serious.

"Because this is a precious thing. That's what I know" Emma replied.

"What do you know? Did you forget about it on purpose?" asked Jack to raise his tone, of course Emma was surprised. Jack looked at her with a slightly frightened face.

"I'm sorry. I don't remember it" Emma wrote.

Jack laughing. He really did not expect that Emma managed to raise her anger parameters again. Maybe he should give Emma the award.

While in the library. Brian read many books, he did not care if he was hungry at this time, he just had to divert his anger. Before he can control it, he can not face Emma. he does not want to be upset and say that Jack is the culprit of the slander that Emma received. Nick sighed, this was the first time his cousin had behaved like that.

"Brian" call Nick.

"You shouldn't get past emotions like this. You're not like you" Nick said.

Brian realized, he closed the book and took out the disc.

"I got it" Brian said.

"Then, what's in it? Why don't you . ." asked Nick and he looked up, aware of something. Brian's gaze sharpened.

"You're right, Jack did it" Brian said, confirming Nick's suggestion.

"But why did he do it?" ask Nick not to believe it.

"Simple, he said it was out of hatred" Brian replied.

"Is he that coward? isn't that outrageous?" ask Nick.

"really right? It's not just me saying that" Brian replied.

Only then did Nick know the reason Brian was so angry. He could be ignited emotions, especially Brian who notabane like Emma. he held the shoulder of his cousin and patted her.

"Then, what's your plan?" ask Nick.

Brian smiled and answered.

******

After school.

The students stretch their stiff muscles during lesson hours. They immediately left the classroom and started their next activity. Emma stood up, she immediately approached Brian, who was ready with his bag to go home. Emma. The amber boy looked away, trying not to look Emma in the eye.

"Where are you going? Why are you avoiding me?" ask Emma with a note.

"I have to, Emma. I'm sorry, I went first" Brian said and passed by Emma just like that. Emma is confused, she stares at Brian's back until the young man is out of class and out of sight. Nick followed Brian, in the doorway he had a glance at Emma. he sighed, he could not do anything for both. Because Brian has his own way of solving the problem.

The sneer after the sneer again adorned the class. They sneered at Emma whom Brian was ignoring.

{Look? Even Brian has ignored it.}

{Truly parasitic.}

{Thankfully Brian soon realized.}

Jack heard it too, but he didn't like it. He knows that Brian was trying to avoid Emma to protect the girl. So that the girl is not affected by Brian who is controlling his emotions. Ludicrous, that's what Jack thought, he stood up and left the classroom preparing to carry out his sentence, not caring about Luke's screams asking him to come home together.

Jack sent Chloe a message.

Jack: I have a punishment. So sorry, you went home alone.

The school is deserted. Now there are only three students who are serving their sentence and maybe some other students who do not have a reason why they have not returned home. Jack took off his school coat and rolled up his shirt sleeves. He started mopping on the first floor. Emma walked carrying a rag and dragged a chair.

It's three hours since Emma and Jack are working on their punishment. I don't think Emma's been dragging her seat not far from Jack.

Where's Brian?

Brian complained. What a pity for him, he was required to clean the teacher's toilet. He had rubbed the floor a lot of times, but it was not clean. He who was in a moodless condition, kicked the bucket."Ahey! What the hell are you doing? you want your punishment increased?" ask someone and Brian looks over.

"WHAT?" brian looked at the annoyed OSIS chairman, Melvin Stream.

"Patience, I think you're still getting carried away" Melvin said as he approached Brian.

"Don't you want to clean it up? I could've had Grandma clean it up" Melvin bargained.

"What do you want?" brian asked, realizing Melvin's point.

"Not difficult. We're short on members, I'll just ask you to volunteer for a week. Is that hard?" ask Melvin.

"Can more details not? I think you're too stingy, Chief" Brian replied.

"After the semester there will be a school festival. So I need someone to write the proposal. Well . . I asked also because I was forced to remember my secretary was beaten by Earlene for three times miswriting the proposal" Melvin explained.

Brian breathed. Maybe Melvin's solution is better, it will also make him a little bit able to forget the incident hit Jack yesterday. And finally he agreed to the OSIS chairman's offer, they both left the teacher's toilet and headed to the OSIS room.

******

The first floor corridor.

Jack mopped and Emma cleaned the window. Jack kept mopping unaware of the surroundings, until he suddenly hit something. The one hit felt his body unbalanced, his body pushed to the floor with someone underneath.

BUCK

Emma fell on Jack. Blonde hair like gold, fragrant vanilla familiar, really cradle Jack for a moment. They stayed that way until Emma woke up and propped her up with her two tiny arms. The beautiful sapphire eyes met with a pair of Emerald eyes, the owner of the eyes was wide.

Without them noticing, a pair of violet-colored beads looked at them with a look of disbelief and glazed. Chloe's eyes water again, but she intends to meet Jack and ask what happened so that his mind goes back straight but the intention is extinct already. The events he saw explained everything. Shaking, he voiced his voice.

"Jack" call Chloe.

Being called to his head, he immediately pushed Emma unethically and stood up. The girl was already standing pecking with eyes that were piercing with tears. Jack was surprised to see it.

"Chlo, I can . . ." Jack said that was cut right away.

"No need to explain, Jack. Thank you" Chloe said and left.

Jack's after Chloe. Of course the sight did not escape the eyes of Emma. somehow again she felt disappointed. He immediately dismissed his thoughts and tried to get up, but his legs hurt.

"Breaked? Ah, maybe when she fell" Emma said in her heart.

Chloe continues to run to the school lobby, but her steps are stopped because Jack manages to grab her hand. The cry of the silver-bladed girl could be heard clearly by Jack, his other hand trying to grab the girl's shoulder but Chloe brushed it off, he turned around and looked Jack in the eye. A look he had never shown, as long as he knew the girl.

"Chlo.." call Jack.

"I accidentally, I fell over and . ." explains Jack and was again cut by Chloe.

"Jack enough, I saw it with my own eyes. There's nothing to explain" Chloe said.

"But" said Jack.

"Everything I'm worried about, right?" ask Chloe.

"No, Chlo, you just misunderstood" Jack said.

"Misunderstand? No" Chloe replied as she brushed off Jack's hand holding her, Jack-suffered.

"Chlo.." call Jack again.

"Let me alone. I need time to cool my heart and my head" Chloe said.

"I love you" said Jack later, hearing that Chloe's heart was about to collapse, the umpteenth time he heard it but this time it was different. Jack's words were more serious than ever.

"Love? It wasn't enough to just treat the incision you just made, Jack" Chloe said, hiding her trembling hand.

After saying that, Chloe left. Leaving Jack standing by. Maybe Jack was in shock to find a change in Chloe's attitude so drastic. All she knew was that Chloe was always cool-headed and gentle in every word. But this time, he did not recognize the girl. The girl's gaze, the girl's demeanor reminded her back to the blond unraveling girl who had once brushed her hand viciously.

Go, I don't want to see you.

Get you out of front of me.

Jack staggered by clenching his hands, hitting the wall next to him.

"Fuck you, Emm. You really make me sick! Is it not enough to torture me? You even made Chloe cry. It's all your fault. You have to accept it, Emm" furious Jack, with shiny eyes he immediately stepped towards the place where Emma was.

******

While Brian, he was hired as a substitute secretary. How upset he was when he found a mountain of work. Melvin ordered him to finish it before evening, because it was all documents that his secretary had not yet worked on.

"You said you wrote a proposal?" asked Brian to raise one eyebrow.

"Don't be in a hurry, finish this first" Melvin replied casually and sat down while drinking tea and cookies. A truly inappropriate sight in the example of an OSIS chairman. With Brian forced to do his job, it is not difficult for him to remember his brain is fairly intelligent. And this is why Melvin hired him.

"Oh yeah, what about that video yesterday? You've already handed it to Mr. Tedd and your classmates?" ask Melvin curiously.

Brian did not reply, he pretended not to hear and focused himself with the documents in his hands. Feeling ignored, Melvin sighed and repeated his question.

"So, have you proven Emma innocent?" ask Melvin and succeed in making Brian drop his documents.

"I can't yet. I'll make Jack admit his mistake" Brian replied "But, can you help me, Chairman?" pinta Brian later.

Melvin nodded. Finally Melvin opens his laptop, he connects Brian's disk with his device.

"Send the video to him" Brian ordered.

"You're sure he'll feel threatened by this?" ask Melvin.

"Tell him to wake up before it spreads, no exception to his girlfriend" Brian replied in a heavy tone.

Melvin just grinned at Brian's reply. He didn't expect Brian Petrenkov to think that way. Maybe it's the effect of what people call love. Love has blinded Brian now. All he wants is to avenge Jack and get him a sharp look from all the students at school.The same suffering that Emma got by him.

******

Jack saw a limping Emma dragging a chair. The girl was already very exhausted, cold sweat was soaking her hair, her clothes were already shabby. Jack ignored him and stayed close. With Emma's right hand drawn roughly and the cloth the girl was holding down, Emma was shocked instead of playing. He looked at Jack's eyes slowly, it was terrible. He began to shake, his left hand trying to take a note to talk to the young man, but Jack immediately pulled it to make the note and the questioner fall. Unmerciful and merciful, Jack pulls Emma's hand in a very rude and inhuman manner. He didn't even care about Emma grimacing in pain because her right ankle was sprained.

The school's storage warehouse, where Jack was dragging Emma, immediately pulled the girl in and locked the door from the inside. Expelled by Emma, he did not even care if the girl's body hit the equipment that was there. Emma grimaced in pain, she quivered violently, expecting what Jack would do to her. Emma began to retreat, although she knew there was no place behind her, she turned to the right and left trying to find someone. But impossible, he realized that they were just the two of them, here, in this dark place.suddenly a large hand reached his face.

"Hn? Are you scared? Do you want to scream?" jack asked in his demonic voice.

"Jack, stop. Please, let me go" Emma asked in her heart.

"You're not asking why I brought you here?" ask Jack again.

"Why did you bring me here?" ask Emma in my heart.

"Because you need to be punished. You need to be aware of your nature, Miss Michelle" Jack said.

"What do you mean?" ask Emma in my heart.

"I don't know if you're stupid or anything, but you really suck. You're making me sick!" shouting Jack.

Just then Jack's phone rang. A message came in, Jack growled in annoyance. He reached into his pocket and took his cell phone, opened the message.a video message from an unknown number. A short message came along.

Be aware before it's too late, be aware before your loved ones know this.

Jack could certainly guess who it was from, but what he asked was, how did Brian have a recording? In the classroom there is no CCTV. Opening the video, he even forgot that Emma was there. Video played, his eyes widened and his hands were limp, the video dropped. Emma's eyes came to see the screen of Jack's phone, he listened carefully to what was there. His eyes wide, the, he really didn't suspect it. Video stops, Emma sculpting. The owner of the cell phone realized, he grabbed his phone but late, Emma watched everything. Emma who is now down.

"Why? You surprised?" jack asked, he was about to touch Emma's shoulder and the girl raised her head. Just looking at him made Jack's hand stop, but he hid it by clenching his hand tightly.

"You want to yell at me? Just do it, I won't ban it" said Jack, who had regained consciousness.

"Ah, I did it. I put Jeannette's phone in your bag. I did it on purpose to make you hate, how does it feel to be hated, miss?" ask Jack.

"Ah, one more thing. I think you were over-thinking thanking me and hugging me. You're aware of that?" jack asked and began to pull on Emma's face violently, Emma was already unable to stem her tears, her mind was flogging, between trying to be patient and trying to scream.

"You're making Chloe mad at me. You made Chloe cry, you fucked up everything. Chloe, the girl I've always cared for, the girl I didn't let her get hurt, but you hurt her. DO YOU REALIZE THAT?" snapped Jack.

Emma trembled, if told to choose, she would rather die right now than have to feel the most heartache. All of Jack's words were heart-wrenching, like millions of swords that drew out his little heart in one strike."Enough, stop. Jack!" pinta Emma in my heart.

"You think I'm gonna stop him? Don't dream! You don't even know that I purposely hid your rotten hanger!" said Jack again.

"What?" emma's eyes are heating up.

Emma is not strong anymore. Her crying is getting louder. The hanger, the precious hanger, Jack's eyes are just a rotten hanger?

How strong was he to her? He looked for the hanger like a man of fidelity and struggled in a pile of garbage for hours. And, with a insistence he said that he deliberately hid it? Even calling it a rotten hanger. If you recall, Jack suggested that he was looking in the landfill. Yeah, it's all because of Jack. Emma really felt her chest hot, not because she had a fever, but a very upset feeling.

"So stupidly you thanked me? You blind? Miss Michelle?" said Jack.

"Stop, Jack, stop!" emma said in her heart, restraining her emotions.

Emma pulled him up until the girl stood up. Emma's face gripped until the girl grimaced in pain.

"You've also forgotten what you've done to me, you're really mean" Jack said later.

"Stop, don't say anything, I can't hear it anymore" Emma said in her heart.

"You really don't remember? mademoiselle? Are you Amnesia? Huh?" jack shouted and threw Emma until the girl's head hit the closet. Emma fell limp, she was unconscious. Jack just looked at her coldly, his feet stepping away. Leaving Emma in the dark room alone. And, with a brace Jack locked the room.

Without anyone knowing, fresh blood begins to flow through Emma's temple.

Jack walked away from the room.It was late afternoon, maybe he had been torturing the girl for too long.he saw his watch that had shown at 05.17 local time. Jack ended his sentence today and went home. In the lobby, he recalled the incident yesterday afternoon. When the rain greeted and he was trapped. The moment that dirty and messy Emma gave him an umbrella and wound adhesive for him. The moment where her hand casually pulled Emma away from being soaked by the rain, as she clutched the girl, her beautiful blond hair and the scent of vanilla. Jack narrowed his eyes, his gaze angry, bruised and hurt.

"Do we really have to be like this, Emm? I can't answer that. Because these incurable wounds hurt. I threw you out and threw you out again, but no matter how hard I hate you, I'm back filled with you. It's like an incurable disease that's spread all over my veins and veins" Jack said in his heart.
