Blue Scandals
15 - Hidden identity
The atmosphere in the teacher's room that morning seemed different from usual. Some of the teachers talked about something.
As soon as Julio arrives, all the teachers return to their respective places. The bespectacled man did not bother with the changing atmosphere, he still smiled kindly and greeted everyone who passed him.
As Julio placed his bag next to his chair, Mr. Damar approached with an anxious expression.
“Pak Julio, I heard you want to go to the parents of students?” ask Mr. Damar in a soft voice.
Julio smiled calmly. “Yes, there is something I should talk to the parents of students directly.”
“Pak, I know you are very passionate about educating students, but I recommend not to get too far involved with student affairs.”
Julio smiled again. “I heard something similar yesterday. I'm grateful if Mr. Damar worries me, but I'm really okay.”
Mr. Damar seemed anxious. “Pak, I really advise not to deal with his father Rion,” said Mr. Damar in the lowest voice possible.
Julio patted Damar on the shoulder. “Absolute on his suggestion, but I can't just stand by seeing something wrong.”
Mr. Damar let out a long breath. “Alright if you are determined, if there is anything I can help please tell.”
Julio was quite surprised by what Mr. Damar said. Other teachers will of course avoid because they think it is something that only causes problems.
“I was quite surprised to hear Mr. Damar offer help, I heard that Rion's parents are quite influential, is Mr. Damar not afraid?”
Mr. Damar let out a long breath. “I'm ashamed of your spirit, but younger. I, who has been an educator for a long time, was too scared. In addition, I like to see people I know from Mr. Julio.. ” said Mr. Damar with a doubtful voice.
Julio looked at Mr. Damar with a confused expression.
“No need to think about.. mr. Julio wants to see the principal first right? Usually this hour has come,” said Mr. Damar while paying attention to the wall clock.
Julio nodded in understanding and then thanked him. The bright brown-eyed man directly arranged some papers then walked out of the teacher room towards the principal's room.
...◇◇◇...
The principal's room looked neat as usual. His eyes were fixed on a photograph above a small closet. The bright brown-eyed man smiled wryly.
“What's Jun?” ask the principal who appeared from the door that connects with the ordinance room.
“Do not call me like that here,” Julio said with a cold expression.
The headmaster laughed. The man in the black suit sat down and crossed his legs.
“I heard there was a commotion in the teacher room yesterday?”
Julio placed a file on the table in front of the headmaster. “I need a duty letter to meet the parents of students.”
The headmaster laughed. “Your attitude like that should be fixed right? This Julio sir should answer my question first.”
“And you already know, do I need to re-explain?” asked Julio without a flat expression.
The headmaster laughed. “Yes yes, stubborn base. I hope Mr. Julio can be better for the smooth running of the task you are doing.”
The principal took the paper on the desk and signed it quickly.
“Pak Julio has met Lilia?” ask the principal with a smile.
Julio looked at the headmaster. “I hope Mr. Alex does not comment on matters relating to my personal life.”
“Do you remember my name wrong? Hahaha, at first I was also surprised when I first saw that student. I was like seeing Nina live again.”.
“It looks like you are tired of being the principal here?”
“I'm sorry sir Julio hahaha, I am so glad that prince Notus came to such a peaceful place.”
“You really have no fear? If anyone hears you talking like this tomorrow there could be news of missing persons,” Julio said while tidying up the file that the principal had signed.
“I'm really sorry sir hehe, please convey my greetings to ‘Dad’.”
“Ya,” replied Julio briefly then got up from his seat.
“Oh yes I almost forgot, there is the latest information about east wind this time, I hope you are careful with one of the people you will meet later although of course that person will not dwell in front of you hahaha.”
Julio lazily responded. Shortly after, the door was knocked. The bespectacled man stared intently at the headmaster again.
“The quiet of this room is soundproof,” said the principal slowly as he stepped towards the door.
“Sorry Mr. Arman, there are guests who came...” one of the business officers speech was stopped when he saw Julio.
“Oh is there sir Julio huh? Forgive me,” said the middle-aged man.
“My business with the principal is done,” Julio said with a smile.
“Impress Mr. Arman, I'll excuse you first,” Julio added.
The headmaster nodded in understanding then walked to his front room to meet the guests coming from the other schools.
...◇◇◇...
Julio returned to the teacher room with a calm expression, after scanning the document the principal signed, which was, the bright brown-eyed man immediately made a notification letter and sent it to the parents of the three students who broke the rules.
Julio sighed again, he seemed annoyed by what the headmaster said.
“Tumben face sir Julio looks full load. Usually always looks cheerful,” said Mr. Bambang while laughing.
“Pusing think of students who make trouble tuh sir,” said Pak Bili who also laughed.
Julio finally laughed.
“Yes that sir if you teach in the village there is just the behavior of students, not kayaking in the city that is usually always obedient,” said Mr. Bambang while thrusting cold drinks to Julio.
“Thanks sir.” Julio took the drink and drank it.
The atmosphere of the teacher's room returned to normal, unlike earlier this morning which felt like it was shrouded in tension.
“Semangat ya sir,” said bu Sri join hoarding.
“Thanks.”
The chatter between the teacher continued and Julio only occasionally responded out of laziness.
The break bell rang, and soon another teacher who was teaching returned to the teacher's room. Julio immediately got up and immediately headed for the osis room.
...◇◇◇...
Upon entering the OSIS room, Julio looked around and did not find Lilia.
“Who are you from?” asked Fahmi who saw Julio looking wry.
“Lilia not yet arrived?”
“Still in the same cafeteria Fani may pack.”
“Oh ready pack later I convey.”
Julio went straight back to the teacher's room. The bespectacled man was silent for a moment as he only realized his ridiculous actions.
Actually Julio does not need to tell through Fahmi because he himself can directly contact through messages.
Julio let out a long sigh again and inwardly blamed the headmaster who reminded him of Nina all of a sudden.
Julio checked the incoming messages and tidied up the luggage.
“Where are you, Julio?” ask Sri's curious mother.
“There are needs with parents of students, bu.”
“Loh sir Julio seriously want to see the parents of students?”
“Yes seriously ma'am, this is the important thing to talk about.”
“Aduh sir, yaudah be careful yes.”
“Then you can know why mom almost all teachers ordered the same thing?”
“Duh sir Julio is only here for a minute anyway...”.
Bu Sri also told about one of the teachers who had done something similar to Julio when Rion was still Junior High and soon after was transferred. Julio who heard that nodded in understanding and thanked him for the information provided.
The man with a height of 177 cm smiled, but his eyes looked sharp as if he was ready to face what was about to happen.
...◇◇◇...
Julio parked his motorcycle at the end of the parking lot in one of the P*lres in the East Java area.
The bespectacled man entered the P*lres with a calm expression. After speaking with the receptionist, Julio was directed to a special living room because he already had an appointment with the head of the Pr*pam P*lres division, Gerry Adjie Pangestu who was the father of Rion.
“Good afternoon sir, sorry to interrupt the time and thank you for taking the time. I am Julio teacher BK from the school where your son studied,” Julio said while shaking Pr*pam's hand.
The thin-bearded man watched Julio for quite a while.
“Oh yes, sorry sir, have we met before?”
“No sir, just this time I met you,” Julio said with a smile.
“Oh so, because your face looks familiar. Uh please sit down, monggo.. “ucap Gerry welcome.
Julio immediately sat down and began to explain the purpose of his arrival and tell the chronology that happened.
Gerry listened intently. Although he was surprised, the man wearing the brown uniform seemed to quickly control his expression.
“I want to confirm the truth spoken by Rion,” Julio said ending the explanation.
Gerry scratched his itchy brows then put on an anxious expression.
“I'm sorry sir, as my parents this can actually be called a failure.. ” Gerry said with a sad expression.
“My son has been severely depressed since the death of his mother.Sometimes the child cannot control his emotions so he has to carry drugs wherever he goes,”, Gerry explained.
Julio, who used to face many people with various expressions, could tell that this person before him was lying.
Julio smiled. “I'm sorry if I ask you this. I'm worried about my school students getting involved with something that's not good.”
“I understand that. I actually feel calm if there is a teacher in charge like Mr. Julio at my child's school.”
Julio smiled again. “Alright because I have confirmed this, I say retreat.”
“Oh yes, you can directly contact me via message only if there is anything you want to ask. Sometimes I don't have much free time to meet.”
“Both I understand. Forgive my arrival which this time interferes with your little free time,” said Julio emphasized.
Gerry looked surprised. “Ah I mean will be more efficient if through my message because it would be a pity if you want to meet me when I happen to be on duty.”
“Yes, I understand. I say goodbye first.”
After saying goodbye, Julio left immediately.
Gerry's expression changed as soon as Julio left. The man in the brown uniform looked angry. He pulled out his phone to call someone.
“Pak, can you transfer a teacher?”
“Most is sir, as before right?”
“The teacher's name is Julio, she teaches in my son's school. I don't want any problems, please find out about him and move him to another school.”
“Siap.”
Clik…
Gerry put the phone in his pocket. He still looks angry. Only this time there was a teacher who dared to meet him again after the incident two years ago when his son Junior High.
Gerry also felt angry because his son did something that made him have to clean it up.
Drrttt
Gerry picked up the phone.
“Sorry sir Ger..”
“What's up?”
“It looks like this time I can't transfer the person you mean, he's just an honorary teacher.”
“What?”
“The authority about the teacher is fully in the school..”
“Ya just contact the school party ! Tell me to stop straight away. You will also know the principal of High School 1 Hope State.”
“Sorry sir, Mr. Arman is beyond our influence.
“Basic useless!”
Clique
Gerry turned off his phone with emotion. His teeth gritted against the growing anger.
Even so his mind seemed to be working normally.
Are there schools that are not in the influence of UPT local education?
Gerry seemed to be thinking deeply. He felt that something was not as usual.
“Arman... Julio..” murmured Gerry tried to remember perhaps a name he knew, but the man sure had never heard of it before. Although the face of the teacher looked familiar, he sure did not know the two names.
