The Real Beauty's
SICK
(POV Riyant On)
I got out of the UKS room after treating the wound and headed to my class, before I stopped by the cafeteria first to buy a drink and spent it along the way to class.
I sat down on the bench and attended the lesson as usual, but it was strange why the other students didn't tell the teacher that Clara was sick, even when the first lesson nobody told her that Clara was sick and in the UKS.
I took the initiative to tell the teacher who was teaching today when he was passing the students in my class, and then it was Clara's name turn to say I said that Clara was sick.
“Sorry sir, Clara is sick she is in the UKS room since morning.” I said, and the teacher nodded in understanding, I saw other students looking at me dislike, I do not, I'm confused but I don't care.
The lesson was over 5 minutes ago, the students had already scattered out of the classroom. I put my books in my bag until three of my friends came to my desk (Andi, Yoga and Farhan).
“You met the fat guy in UKS?” andi asked, I looked at her confused. “You mean Clara?” guess me, “Iya the fat guy who is black and ugly,” replied Andi, “You can't do that, Andi.” said I don't like.
“He is a man to be cherished, especially a woman.” I said adding, “Why are you defending him? Do you like it?” this time Farhan spoke,
“There's no way someone like you likes a girl like Clara,” Andi denies. I silently stared in dislike towards Andi,
“I don't know why there are ugly monsters like Clara on this earth,” Andi is still babbling, this time I was really furious.
“Enough Andi. You're outrageous!” I said a little snapping at him, they looked at me with a strange look, then I hurried to leave them.
I didn't go straight to the parking lot to get my bike but I stopped by the UKS first, made sure Clara was home or not.
When my feet reached the door of the UKS I peeked in the window of the UKS, empty. Clara's home yet? ‘maybe he has gone home first’ I thought, I immediately went to leave UKS and prepare to go home.
I was riding my bike at a fairly slow pace, on the way I almost hit someone. I've glazed him a few times, he didn't heed until I stopped right in front of him, if I was driving at high speed, I might have hit him.
I saw that he was surprised and apologized while looking down without seeing me, I noticed him, I recognized him a little, I called him slowly. “Clara?” calling me, he who was in shock turned his head towards me and grew even more surprised.
“Oh? Riyant, I'm sorry.I didn't pay attention to the road,” he said then pulled over, “You're alone? Nobody picked you up?” my question, he shook his head, he,
“Alright, I take you home,” my bargain, he looks at me still in a shocked condition. “No need, I'm on foot,” reply.
“You're still sick, your face looks pale, it's okay to go up. I will take you,” I said once again, he shook his head “don't, later your bike is damaged if I ride it,” he said lowered his head.
“What are you talking about? Of course it won't,” reply me. He was silent for a moment, then turned to “Sorry, but really I can still walk, I've been better,” he said hurried to leave me.
I stared at his back which was getting away from my sight. But I saw the look on his face, he seemed to be sad. ‘does he have a problem?’ I thought ‘why do I care so much about strangers, he might taste me that inner no-no’, then continue the journey towards my home.

Clara went into the house lethargic, I don't know she felt really unwell, her whole body was in pain especially her head which was still dizzy, dizzy, Clara put herself in bed and fell asleep without taking off the uniform she was wearing.
At exactly 17:00 Mia just arrived home with food for Clara, she went straight to Clara's room, at the sight of Clara who was lying down, Clara who was lying, Mia smiled ‘thank goodness she was okay’ thought so, even though Clara was in a bad condition.
Mia then cleans up and warms up the food she bought on the street, then returns to Clara's room to wake her up for dinner together.
“Clara wake up baby, we eat first” said Mia sat herself in Clara's bed, then she touched Clara's hand. He was surprised ‘warm?’ her mind said ‘what Clara hurt’ thought, Mia put her hand on Clara's forehead then took a thermometer to measure Clara's body temperature,
'38,5°C? Geez, it's worth it, the temperature is high’ inner Mia worried, Mia then down to make porridge and take the basin to compress Clara.
On the compress Clara and Clara also woke up, "Mother when did it come?” clara asked limply, "So late in the afternoon, I saw you fall asleep, now get up and eat first,” Mia replied gently. Clara wakes up and sits on the bed with the help of her mother and Mia feeds Clara slowly,
“What do you feel baby?” ask Mia. “I'm dizzy buband I'm sick all,” replied Clara limp, “Maybe I was sapped,” reply again. “Tock you at home just take a break, let the mother who called the school that we do not enter the school,” said Mia who got a nod from Clara.
“Tomorrow we seek treatment if you are still hot,” said Mia, Clara nodded again. “While taking a heat-lowering drug first yes after eating, then change clothes with clothes that can absorb sweat,” Mia said, again Clara nodded.
When she was done, Clara followed everything Mia told her to do and went back to sleep.
Mia was actually suspicious, because her son rarely got sick except when he tried to diet extra, he was treated in the hospital, but this time Clara got a fever ‘ might really ketapean’ thought
In the morning, Clara's condition has not really recovered, Mia took the initiative to take her to seek treatment after getting permission not to enter the office today because her son was sick.
Arriving at the hospital the doctor said Clara needed rest, she was exhausted and a little stressed, then I asked if there was nothing serious, the doctor replied, nothing.
We finally went home, prepared food for Clara to eat and take her medicine, Mia told Clara to take lots of rest, and Mia planned to take Clara on vacation, it's been a long time that they're not on vacation, indeed, maybe Sunday they'll go together if Clara has recovered.
Later that night, Clara asks Mia to take off her clothes, Clara wants to replace them with a thin shirt, Mia then helps her at that time also Mia sees Clara's back bruised, then Mia touches it and slightly presses it,
Clara whimpers. “Awwh, bu” pain said Clara, “ya Lord, Clara. Why is your back bruised?” tanya Mia is very worried, “That's, I. Mmm. I, I fell out of the school toilet. I slipped in the room and my back hit the closet, sorry to say it to mom, I never felt anything but just now it hurt, I didn't know it was bruised,” Clara told a lie.
“You should be more careful Clara,” said Mia, then help Clara take her shirt off and replace it with a shirt. “If tomorrow you still haven't fully recovered, I'll have permission again to accompany you at home,” Mia said
“No ma'am, I've recovered enough. Mom can work tomorrow I'm really fine,” said Clara, “Alright.” reply Mia then kiss Clara's forehead and put her to bed.
“Good night” said goodbye to Mia and turned off Clara's room lights,
“Goodnight also mom.” reply Clara and fall asleep.

When I got home, as usual I cleaned myself and changed clothes and ate for me to eat, I couldn't cook.
At home there was just me and dad, dad working and going home late and having dinner together, every day like that, sometimes dad overtime and coming home late at night.
We agreed not to have a housekeeper, to be honest I did not like, we used to have art and he even took away some money at home, so I think let me clean the house, if we eat we can buy outside or delivery.
The night I was eating with my father, father asked how my school was, I replied “ as usual father, nothing interesting. School is still school, there are teachers, students/i, new friends and PR that accumulates,” I replied.
Then I asked again, “You have a friend? “ asked, I nodded. We had dinner solemnly, then after that as usual I cleaned dirty dishes and took a TV while chatting with my father until I was sleepy.
...****************...
The next day, I did not see Clara, I thought she would be late it turns out she did not enter ‘maybe she was sick, yesterday I saw her face was very pale’ I thought, I think, actually I was planning to visit him but I don't know where his house is, and my classmates don't know, rather don't care.
I do not understand why they are apathetic towards Clara, until I asked Andi at the break in the cafeteria, he replied “Nobody wants to be friends with her, he said, because his appearance is not very,” said Andi, said,
“Look at it, the female students here are all beautiful and also clean, not black like Clara,” said Andi added. “Just because of the physical, you guys stayed away from him? So?” ask me not to believe.
“You don't need to be hypocritical Riyant, you also like beautiful women? Moreover you have a handsome face” sahut Yoga, “Do not make physical as a benchmark to mingle” reply me.
“you keep defending Clara, you like it huh?” tanya Farhan, “Gila, who is really Riyant. If you can't use your handsome face, better give it to Andi. Hahaha” reply Yoga,
“I'm also handsome, it's good” Andi said with great confidence. “I want to visit Clara, you know Clara's house?” I asked, as they looked surprised at me.
“What? Anything weird?” my question, then Yoga fingered my forehead and put his hand on his butt “Warm, you really are crazy,” said Yoga.
I rolled a lazy eyeball
“Janya because of the physical Clara who is unable to meet your expectations, does not mean you are free to judge him.” I said, then leave them in the cafeteria.
They stared at Riyant's departure with a look of disbelief
‘why Riyant defended Clara like that, but just met’ thought they.
