The Wounds of the Past

Chapter 18(unpacked)

Tonight, Adit came to see me. From the look in his eyes, I knew he was suspicious of my situation

His hand clung to my forehead. His eyes seemed to be all over my body. Raised my chin. I'm resigned. Adit will know about this

"we're going to the hospital. Visum" said Mas Adit firmly. But I shook my head. This is not a trivial issue that low caste people like us can overcome

"make what, Mom?" I can only cry.

"if something happens in the future, your candidate will know that this is not of your will. Relax, don't be embarrassed. There are women there." mas Adit reassured me.This time I nodded.The reason why Adit mas makes sense.

****

"when did it happen?" ask the doctor I saw from a nametag named Wulan

"ehmmmm.yesterday night." I replied afraid.

"why is night night out? You still working? Didn't I tell you not to work in dangerous places?mas busy Dira, can not watch you continuously." this time mas Adit follow the talk. Maybe he's mad because I still work at the club

"still. I don't want to get rid of carp. Money I never used. I've been living my own business, Mas. I'm afraid I'm too dependent on people" I said softly

"Dira, now it's bullshit! Horrified! Get out of that club. It will cost you your life. I will not be negligent again. I promise you will not be lacking anymore. A really good school. Love you the same. I'm sorry I ever forgot the responsibility, Mom! If from yesterday's accident there is a result, Mas will be treated. Itung itung surrogate son of a mas who was killed by a madman yesterday. Understand!!! "say mas Adit firmly.

Kupeluk mas Adit's. My tears are like waterfalls. I'm glad that Adit stayed with me after yesterday's incident. I promise you, I'll be fine and get better

*******

The next day, I got ready for school. After returning home from the hospital, Mas Adit moved my boarding house to his service home. The reason is of course so that I am always in his control.

"go home to school, don't go anywhere. I'll pick her up later." Adit stretched out his hand to kiss me.

"heem. But it was Wulan WA, later to pick it up"

Sister Wulan, the doctor who was with me during the visit yesterday turned out to be an acquaintance of Adit. They were introduced by Vishnu, a friend of Adit who served in the same hospital as Mbak Wulan

"later re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-announced. You go first with Wulan"Adit's mas

I got out of Adit's car which was greeted with a bad view from my friends at school. Maybe they think because I'm a scholarship boy, so I don't deserve a car ride

I'm moving my feet towards the bk room. But my hand was suddenly dragged by someone. I just obey. Maybe it's time I talked

"really a hooker? Where was yesterday all day not in the room? 2days of not going to school, have you felt great?especially early in the morning when it comes to om-om. Want your scholarship revoked?" rezki. He's one of the osis here.

"i was sick yesterday. Here's the doctor's letter"

I said, handing him a doctor's certificate

So low did they judge me. Maybe this is the best. I just left them. There's no point in explaining everything to them. I'm sure I'll stay wrong in their eyes

I set my feet towards the BK room. it looks like Mela ma'am is still relaxing in her room. Knock on the door before he lets me in. As soon as he allows, I immediately

"can I help you, son?" hello ma'am Mela is friendly to me

"i'd like to accept the offer to move to acceleration class if I may, ma'am" I replied

Yeah, I was offered to get into acceleration class the first time I went to this school. My grades and abilities made the school offer me an acceleration class. But because to get into this class there's an extra charge, I think again. The acceleration class was a busy schedule, going home in the evening, a full day of tests, and most importantly there was an additional cost I had to pay myself. This is what makes me heavy.

I used to have doubts about Adit's finances. Although he said it would change, but the experience like before, can not just disappear. Yesterday, Adit transferred me some money. I think that's enough until I graduate. Now, there's no harm in me taking that acceleration class. Quick pass, fast free from this toxic state

"do you know it's almost a semester test?if you can pass the test, you can continue to that class. Otherwise, you should go back to the beginning. There are additional costs that you should also understand. Many tests in this acceleration class. And it's not helped by the scholarship. Are you ready for the money? It is not my intention to insult or demean you, but you once refused to enter this class because of the cost, right? How now? "obviously ma'am Mela is long.

I took out the ATM card from my pocket. I gave it to Mela ma'am as a deposit. I know there must be a lot of costs that I will spend because it follows in the middle of the semester like this.

"this is me taking 10 million for the follow-up class. For the next charge, just like your friends in the current acceleration class. You better go to that class now, so you don't get further behind the lesson. Let me take you" said Miss Mela again

Acceleration class parting building with ordinary grade. A little further.

I've been in my new class for almost 4 months. Not good memories are recalled. Especially the betrayal committed by one of them. No one knows I work at that club but Mas Adit and my close friends. And Mas Adit doesn't know my pseudonym there. So my mind went straight there. How evil would he be to trap me like this?

I don't want to hear or ask for an explanation. I just know there are no real friends in my life

My feet are now heading to the classroom that I will be in. Classes are very comfortable but similar to libraries because around the walls full of books. There are only 10 seats in this class. They also seem to be very focused when studying. It's different from my class. Very relaxed even many are indifferent to the material given by the teacher.

Ma'am Mela knocked on the door that had opened. All attention is on the two of us. After explaining everything, Ma'am Mela said goodbye. I was also called to class

"please introduce your name" the teacher told me to make an introduction

"my name is Nadira Maheswari."

"please sit in that empty place" he told me

I also headed to the only empty seat in this room. After that, the lesson began again. No stale bases at all

The lessons in this class seem to be very crowded with tests. After the test, there will be a discussion of the material. Good thing my brain doesn't dlosor dlosor. So even though I'm late for this class, my brain is still able to keep up

The break bell rings. After the teacher came out, we all breathed a tired breath. It turns out that even smart people can be lazy.

"if it wasn't for prestige, I'd like to move to a regular class. Can crazyaaaa.." exclaimed the boy I saw from his nametag named salsa.

"noisy" said another. They took the books that were on the wall shelf. Is their life so monotonous here?

"Hi!" greet salsa to me

"Hi too" I said kindly.

"why move to this class? Can stress know no?" gnarly

"pass cepet wishes. What are you doing yourself?"

"according to I prestige" replied salsa again. Why does he keep grumbling. He has been here almost 4 months. Shouldn't it be ordinary?

The sound of the trolley was getting closer. In this class, food is available. That's why it's expensive, everything exists.

The food was soon shared with us. The number of tests made me very hungry

"we're like this every day?" my many. This class is really quiet because it's just me and salsa talking from earlier

"heem. There'll be another day."

"not food. But the guy. It's quiet." I complained

"the beginning was full. But maybe people do not like the test continues, finally, just stay this way. The others moved to an ordinary classroom." he replied while eating his biscuits

I continue my eating show. Bread and milk box. It's good to have energy for the next test

Test after test I did well (I think). At 5pm, I was out of class. I told Wulan to pick me up in front of the gate.

I set my foot toward the gate alone because I had to take some assignments from the teacher because I was late for class

Before reaching the gate, my mouth was silenced by someone. I tried to rebel, but the school fatigue today made me weak. It was so easy he dragged me behind the school

"It turns out you're hiding there. Are you so scared of me???"
