The Sound of Tears

Weird Man

"talk what mi? hendrick tired mi. later we just talk" said Hendrick with a tired face.

"this is important, Hendrick" said Mami

"well, what's important?" the young man returned to the dining table where Mami Cathlin was sitting.

"sit down" Cathlin's mother ordered.

Then the young man sat down in the chair next to Cathlin's mother, occasionally yawning as his eyes began to sleepy.

"Hendrick, my mom wants to ask, what is your relationship with Shella?"

"relationship? meaning mi?" hendrick was shocked to hear his mother's question. Then Cathlin's mother showed a photo Shinta had shared on social media with Hendrick.

"this is what Hendrick means? how come you can be alone with Shella in that house?"

"where did you get this photo?" ask Hendrick

"from her facebook Shinta, Ardian friend who often come here.. Now you answer my question, what is your relationship with Shella? you know, because this photo of Shella can be issued by the school in the list of invited students at the university of Jakarta"

"oh that's mi.. mmm anu.."

"explain to me why you can do something like this !! answer honestly Hendrick" said Mami Cathlin raised her tone.

"this Hendrick wanted to explain the real mi.." then Hendrick told how the chronology of events actually happened to Mami Cathlin.

After arguing and talking at length, Cathlin's mother finally understood with the answer from her eldest son.

"Mi. actually Hendrick's"

"what's up Hendrick? talk to mama"

"actuallys"...

Mother Cathlin's phone rang.

"Ardian, take a moment to pick up the phone first" said Mami Cathlin rising from her seat.

"Hallo what's up Ardian?" ask Mami Cathlin

"mi... can mommy come to school right now mi?" ardian said from across there.

"What's up, son? Shella why"

"uh.truck mi.. Shella suddenly fainted, because the school had learned the news spread on social media yesterday mi"

"all right, mommy's going to be there soon" then Mami Cathlin hung up and immediately grabbed the bag that was on her bedroom dresser. Then he rushed to the car garage.

"where mi?"

"you just follow Mom's orders"

"good mi"

Shortly after, Cathlin and Hendrick left for High School 1. Arriving there, the students and teachers were lined up in the field, while Ardian, had been waiting for the arrival of his mother.

"Mommy. Brother Hendrick." cried Ardian.

"where's Shella?" ask Mami Cathlin

"Shella is in the UKS mi" replied Ardian.

They immediately headed for the UKS, where she saw Shella lying down. Then Cici and Eren were sitting next to Shella.

"How's Shella doing?" ask Mami Cathlin

"Shella suddenly fainted aunt, the time of the announcement of the submission of the charter, suddenly all the students shouted at Shella, The school also already knows the photo spread by Shinta on social media yesterday aunt" cici Stories.

"Sir Hendrick, you have to take responsibility for what happened to our friend" cried Eren who began to get upset.

"Hendrick you're with Shella here for a while, Ardian please take your mom to the principal's room" Cathlin's mom ordered.

"well mi" replied Ardian.

Then the mother and son immediately headed for the headmaster's room. Arriving there, Ardian was deliberately told to wait outside while Mami Cathlin was talking to the principal and some teachers there.

*In the UKS room

Hendrick noticed I was resting on the bed. His face looks very worried, Cici and Eren who were initially upset with the man, now even become a smile of his own smile to see the look on Hendrick's face like a man who is afraid of losing the woman he loves.

'aduuhhhh why else would I have to meet this strange human' I murmured in my heart while opening my eyes a little.

"Shella, I'm sorry because of me, you're like this" Hendrick said.

"Shella.. let's wake up. I'm sorry. Please wake up shella" added the man.

Hendrick looked increasingly worried.

'weird man, it turns out funny too if again sad gini' murmured in my heart. Then I accidentally opened my eyes slowly.

"Alhamdulillah you finally realized also Shella" said Cici and Eren simultaneously.

Suddenly I remembered the incident this morning, where I was humiliated in front of all 1st High School students and teachers, because of the photo shared by Shinta yesterday. It felt like my heart was so messed up, my head was dizzy again.
