Chapter 23
" What's the contents of the package?" Alden peeking. Binar deliberately turned his back on the figure so as not to reclaim the parcel that he was still holding.
" It looks like a music box," Binar replied, showing a square four with a beautiful doll standing in the middle.
Binar then pressed the red button under the box and immediately played a violin sound that sounded so soft. The beautiful doll in the middle of the box was also spinning with colorful lights that lit up from all over her body.
" Beautiful ...," a smile spread to decorate the face of the high school student.
" What a beautiful thing!" Alden stared at the music box from behind and landed his chin on the shoulder of the 16-year-old girl.
" The rose I gave was more beautiful" Alden quipped, hoping that Binar would remember the gift he had given him this afternoon. Binar then turned his head and the two were staring at each other from such a close distance.
" Thanks for the roses, I love them." - Binar. Alden smiled as he pinched the nose of the young girl in front of him.
" If you like, I can buy him more" whispered Alden. Binar then distanced his face, he did not want to take the risk if later the man who was nearby suddenly landed a kiss. Oh that would surely stain the purity of his lips.
" Okay, then, shall we put where this music box is?" ask Alden.
" On the nightstand, near the bed" Pinar said.
" Well if you want that. I hope tonight I don't have nightmares !" Alden followed from behind.
The rectangular-shaped music box immediately landed on the nightstand. The sound of the violin is still playing, accompanying the afternoon to change the night. Even Binar still let the music flow, accompanying him who was tidying up the bedroom owned by the Young Master.
***
The bar was clean from morning. The high school uniform he wore was replaced with a new one. The scent of perfume came out just after he sprayed the clear liquid from the glass bottle. According to the words of the fierce CEO, the perfume he wears is an expensive perfume for that Binar must wear it every meeting with him. I don't know what for, even Binar did not understand. It's just that, since receiving the gift of the rose, the Young Master more often gave it a gift, the more often he paid attention to it.
The blue taxi stopped right on the side of the school fence. Binar stepped up, entering the gate that was open.
" Our artist has arrived,"
The cries of some students his age made Binar shocked. He smiled, though inwardly asked why every student he met looked at him with a cynical, unfriendly and mocking look.
One more thing, said the artist they mentioned makes Binar have to think hard, try to understand what the similar meaning of their speech.
" The star is coming, Tuh!"
And for some time Binar had to accept the appeal of every student he was meeting along the corridor of the classroom.
" What does the star mean?" Truly, Binar was unable to hide his ignorance.
He stepped on gontai. This morning like he was not very friendly to her, some students actually whispered to each other, threw eyes at each other and then laughed together. Feeling uncomfortable, Binar then went faster, although the mocking laughter he got was even harder and painful.
" Araumi!" Binar found Arumi who was among the crowd of students who were crowded the corridor in front of his classroom.
" Araumi!" Binar repeated his call. But strangely, the figure actually dodged, slightly away from the reach of Binar's view.
" What the hell is this?" Binar really did not understand what happened. Although he continued to try to think positively but again he had to admit that something was wrong today.
Feeling foreign to his school situation, Binar then dropped out of the classroom. He quickened his pace towards the wall magazine board, there might be important information he had missed. However, just stepping a few meters he was actually surprised by Baliho who was plastered with his photo when he became a participant of the race. The photo looks full of scribbles of red markers, there he even smelled the smell of carnation from a distance that is getting closer.
" What the hell is this!!"
Whether he had the courage from where, Binar shouted, twisting his body. Reply looked at the students who were crowding, surrounding him.
PLAQUE !
One rotten tomato landed on a billboard that contained a photo of him.
" Hey, what are you guys doing?" Binar was still unaware.
A teenage boy screamed loudly, throwing tomatoes at Binar for the first time.
THE PLAQUE!
One rotten tomato landed on the chest. Do not ask the taste, pain and shame penetrate to the heart.
Seeing one student bully Binar, all the students who were there also bullied him, throwing him with lumps of paper, tomatoes and rotten eggs. All parts of the 16-year-old teenager's body were flushed by the broken tomato liquid. A fishy and foul smell came out, making Binar cough and almost vomit.
" What's my fault with you!" yell out once more.
There was no answer that he could even laugh mocking increasingly crowded and more piercing heart.
" You're a vigilante!" Binar shouted again despite his voice feeling raucous, his breath up and down resisting the indescribable disappointment and sadness.
" WHEN IN THIS SCHOOL WAS THERE BULLYING!?"
" IF ANYONE STILL THROWS, YOU GUYS DEAL DIRECTLY WITH ME!!"
The swiftness of one's steps made some students dodge, giving way to the figure to enter the circle of Students who acted arbitrarily without hearing the explanation first. Binar stared at the figure, a figure that looked faintly in his view. The tears that welled up certainly made his gaze a little blocked. The tomato liquid flowing from the temple entered the eye, making the pair of neutrals very poignant but not as sad as his heart at this time.
" Mister" said Binar.
Alden then took off the black suit that he wore to then use to cover the body of Binar who looks very messy.
" Why is it like this?" Lirih Binar again. Alden embraced the figure leaving the crowd despite some students still continuing to cheer, mock and laugh at them.
" Don't say anything for now, just come with me and we'll sort this out together" Alden replied. Binar nodded. The two then passed through a corridor filled with Students who were staring cynically at them. The three bodyguards behind Alden made the students rethink to do the stupid thing that just happened.
" It's worth the grade is always good, it turns out he seduced the higher-ups in the school!" whispered one of them.
" I'm not like that .., you guys got the wrong reward ....,"
" That's enough! Don't respond to anything for now!" Alden then tightened his embrace. Make every eye that witnesses it look down and disgusted.
" I can't believe he's an om-om mistress!"
The accusation was heard again, stabbing into the heart. Even though Binar closed his ears even though the words were ringing. Tearing up the confidence that had just recovered.
Binar realized one thing, someone had leaked the photos yesterday. Either whoever he was, he had actually sown slander that would probably become a bitter memory his entire life.
Because of the incident, Alden asked Mr. Abhimanyu to disband the teaching-learning process that day and including the announcement of the winner of the race held yesterday must be postponed first. The school suddenly went out. Teachers were reluctant to comment and the company officials preferred to keep their mouths shut.
Secretary Han stood right behind the Young Master, he offered a laptop and three brown envelopes containing dozens of photos of Binar with Alden and other men including the Secretary himself.
" I'll take him to clean up first" Rini went up, approached Binar and took the teenager in his high school uniform out of the room.
Secretary Han then played a video that made a scene for all students last night. Alden watched the video, watching the 1-minute video until it was over.
" Sorry in advance Mr. Alden, we received the video and dozens of other photos last night. Someone sent him in a school WhatsApp group and immediately spread among the students," Mr. Abhimanyu explained the origin of the unsettling photo and video.
" Mister Han, immediately take down the news spread make sure no one enters my apartment besides me. Change the password immediately." Pinta Alden's. The man returned to play a video containing himself and Binar who were in his private apartment. Indeed, there is nothing immoral in the video or photos but if for the size of himself who is a leader, of course this will be a shame. People who do not like it will certainly make this a gap to damage his good image, especially Binar who is a 16-year-old Student.
" Mr. Alden, we do not mean to disturb the privacy of the father, just that, Given that Binar is a student from this school, of course this will be very unpleasant news," Mr. Abhimanyu seemed hesitant but had to keep telling the truth.
Ms. Andine who was in the same room seemed to be breathing heavily. The woman really did not expect that her son would be dragged into a case like this.
" My relationship with Binar is good but I and Binar are not involved in any relationship that exceeds the limit. I'll prove it." Alden.
" Good Mr. Alden. The school will not make any hasty decisions about this but I beg Mr. Alden to resolve the matter as soon as possible. Do not let this news spread outside the school," Mr. Abhimanyu seemed to beg.
" We're gathered at Home after this!" Bu Andine breezed away after saying a few lines of words. The woman seemed reluctant to discuss the matter further in front of the school parties.
