"I beg... Justjust please. Hikss. hiks.."
Even though Linda yelled and broke down the door, the reply was still a silence. He had given up, sat down while hugging his bag while crying.
For a long time, there were footsteps coming from outside.
"Is there anyone?! Help u! I'm locked inside! Please!"
HORN
The door was open to make Linda happy and weak at the same time.
"You okay?" Ask the guy.
"I.iya. Thank ye. Hiks, thank you." Linda replied moved by the condition still sitting.
"I should have checked this place out of there." Say that guy.
"Eh. This sound... Brother Ratna?"
"We'll get out of here first. Here I help you." It was cold, but it felt soft.
Ratna helped Linda stand up and swept her way to the UKS.
***
"Why hasn't my sister come home yet?" Ask Linda.
"....., did you expect that no one would help you then?" Ask Ratna back.
"Eh. Ma'am.no. I'm just asking.. Sorry." Linda replied with a stutter.
Ratna was silent for a moment watching Linda who kept her head down. Then take the P3K box from the closet.
"Ehhh? Let me just..!"
Linda exclaimed to stop Ratna from trying to treat her leg
"Is forgiveness your word of obligation every day?" Ratna said arriving.
"What's? Whatdoes thatmean? What kind of situation is this? >_<" - Inner Linda.
"Why are you quiet?" Said Ratna still while treating her leg.
Linda shook her head and clenched her hands.
"I just don't know what to say." Said Linda.
"...." - ".(Remember)
"...." - ".(Linda)
Instantly the atmosphere was so quiet plus the awkward feeling that Linda was carrying.
"I want to faint only >_<." - Inner Linda.
***
"Uh... The form of bandage made by a perfectionist is also perfect yaah." - Inner Linda
"Already bandaged. Your right leg is bruised and the left one is sprained. Who locked you in there?" Ask Ratna to the point.
"Eh..? That's... Vera and..Kristi." Answer Linda is stamped with bricks.
"It's good that you know who did it. Tomorrow I'll accompany you to report this to the counselling."
Said Ratna while returning the P3K box into the closet.
"Don't! It will only make them hate me more. I'd rather be quiet because at least they just ignore me and gossip from behind than they do any further."
Linda said it nervously. He was more concerned about it than justice for her. It is true, who does not want peace?
"I think we are a little bit alike." - Inner Ratna.
Ratna moved and sat down next to Linda and opened her glasses.
"yes too. But, are you sure they won't do more even if you keep quiet?" Tanya Ratna was serious.
"Gee. The subject turned into 'you'? And again the eyes of Brother Ratna very beautiful." - Inner Linda with sparkling eyes.
"Linda?" Call Ratna.
"E..eh yes?"
"Do you think they won't do more even if you keep quiet?" Repeat Ratna.
"Mom.Wouldn't that be sure?" Ask Linda back.
"You innocent.or naive? I'll tell you. Basically people like that will become more and more - so if the target is not to fight. The more you shut up the more they're happy to bother you."
"Ironically if I say this when I am the same." - Batin Ratna
Ratna's words made Linda shut up. He said that his words were true. Linda already knew this would happen, but she preferred to believe the opposite.
"3 this month.. Ku's..I went through with the hope that they would stop talking about me. And for these 3 months I was able to survive.. If it's not done, I'll keep on holding on."
Linda hid her face with a look. I wish Ratna hadn't seen him cry. Ratna just looked at him and tried to hold Linda's head. But he pulled his hand back.
"We look alike." Ratna looked away.
"Finally?" - Inner Linda.
"Yes.. Other people just don't like us. Whether it's because I'm a perfectionist or because of your lack. Whether it was below or above, the opinions of a group of people would not change. What you do is right, but they hate you. What I do doesn't bother them, but they hate me. Wh why? Because they feel you've pointed out their flaws and I've made them lower."
"Sir Ratna confided indirectly huh?" - Inner Linda
"In fact, some people hate the weak and hate those who are above them more. It's become the law of the world."
Ratna finished speaking and silence ensued between them. A moment Linda turned to Ratna who was looking out the window.
"Then... What point?" Linda asked to break the silence.
Ratna turned towards Linda.
"The point is, you just have to be yourself. At least they just hate you, but they don't think you're weak. They can't do anything to the person above them. Even if I do, I'll repay them." Ratna.
They looked at each other with different expressions. Actually, the opinion of the two of them was different, so Linda said something else.
"What's enough with replying?" Ask Linda.
"....., to me, that's enough." Answer Ratna.
"So, I'm not saying we look alike, but I don't think so. Brother must have said we look alike because we are hated by people. Not how we're gonna deal with them." Linda said quietly and made Ratna surprised.
"You mean?" Ask Ratna.
"I mean, I'd rather hang on because if I retaliate, it'll only make them hate me more and get revenge on me. Revenge is avenged again. It's not gonna end... But I'm sure one day they'll accept me. The human heart is always changing depending on the situation. If I can win them, then that's a good thing." Say Linda.
Ratna remained silent. Assuming that someone beside her is naive. He felt it was impossible.
Linda's words made her realize. During this time, Ratna had only attached importance to the fortress she had made to protect herself, and she was not aware that she did not recognize right and wrong people.
"If you're silent, that means I'm right? Then.. can I be your friend? Besides, you also opened the gate for me, right?" Linda held out her hand and smiled.
It was strange to see Linda who extended her hand with a bright expression. Though all this time he has been looking down a lot and saying sorry even though it is not wrong.
At that time, Ratna looked at Linda's hand that was still outstretched waiting for her reply. For a moment, Ratna smiled, then returned Linda's hand.
"You know? I already considered you a friend when I called you 'you'. But still, a person's perception has not changed before the evidence. I'll wait for that evidence. So, do your best."
She stroked Linda's head with a smile that Linda had never seen before. While Linda was staring at that very, very rare smile.
"alright. Let's go home." Said Ratna rising from her seat.
"Eh, is Ratna's face flushed?" - Inner Linda.
"Wait for what else? I'll help you." Ratna picked up her bag.
"Ah yes. Wait a minute, I want to order ojek first." Said Linda pulled out her phone.
"No need, I'll take you." Said Ratna pulling hp Linda.
"Huh?"
***
"A... I just remembered Sister Linda is the son of a rich manaaa!?!?" - Linda's screaming heart.
In front of the school gate was parked a luxury car with a driver that made Linda shock undescribed.
"Come, come in." Ratna's words helped Linda's body.
"Tu.tu..wait!! We..we're going up this?!" Linda said hysterically to stop Ratna.
"of course. Why are you so surprised?" Ask Ratna.
"How am I not surprised?! If I come home from a fancy car like this, aunty and neighbors must think something strange about me!! (° ⁇ ° ⁇ )" - Linda's Inner Scream.
"Emmm... I miss ojek aja deh brother.." Linda smiled wryly.
"If you order a motorcycle you will wait a long time. You better get us. All right, I'm gonna explain this injury to your parents." Ratna assured Linda.
Linda thought for a moment until she finally agreed to Ratna's proposal. It could have been that his aunt would beat him up for coming home late even though he was injured.
On the way, they didn't say anything. On the one hand, Ratna does not like stale and on the other hand Linda does not know what to say.
"Religious >o
At the intersection, the car stopped.
"Where is your house?" Ratna's question arrived.
"Ah. At..On the road C." Answer Linda.
"We go there first sir." Ratna said to the driver.
The car immediately drove towards Linda's house and some time they arrived in front of her house.
"This is your house?" Ask Ratna.
"I.iya. Brother... want to stop by?" Ask Linda back.
"I'd really like to stop by and explain to your parents." Ratna get off the car?
"Eh... Eehhhh?! I think Brother Ratna is not serious!!" - Inner Linda.
"Emmm. Seriously brother?" Ask Linda.
"of course. Let's hurry."
Before entering, the door opened and Linda's father came out from there.
"Who? Linda's? Why just got home?" Ask Dad.
"I. that." Welcome Linda nervous.
"Sorry, Sir. I'll explain it. But before that, can we go in because Linda is now injured." Said Ratna politely.
"Injured? Holy hooch! Why feet? Come inside!" His father was worried.
Inside Ratna's house immediately sat Linda on the sofa and they began the conversation.
"Please don't tell me the truth sister." - Inner Linda.
Ratna was aware of Linda's gaze and understood her point.
"What's wrong with you?" Ask father.
"Let me answer, sir. Linda slipped in the bathroom, sprapping both her legs. Then I treated him in the UKS, that's why he came home long ago." Ratna.
"really? Why can you be careless? Next time heart. Thank you for helping my son." Welcome Linda's Father.
Ratna nodded and saw someone come out of the room.
"Linda's? Why did you just come home?"
"Then excuse me to go home, sir." Ratna's risen.
"Ah yes. Thanks a lot.." Say Linda's Father.
"I'll go home first, Buk." Pamit Ratna's.
"Eh. i. yes."
Ratna's out with Linda's mom and dad. When they saw Ratna who entered the luxury car, they were very surprised.
The car drove into Linda's house. Linda's father and stepmother went back into the house.
"The boy is polite and kind. You're lucky. Then I'll go in first." Father said.
"Look.. The boy is a rich man. You should be good friends with him. If you have time, bring him here." Said his stepmother.
"Although Ratna's sister is not rich, I will indeed be her friend." - Inner Linda.
From here we know, if Linda's stepmother is quite matre.
