Blue Scandals
23 - Not punishment
That morning Julio was still present to the school even though he had permission for several days. His face had returned refreshed after resting and eating enough food.
“Wah sir Julio not so permission?” ask Bili while laughing.
Julio bobbing head. “Just been left for a while already this sir.”
“Loh the story is how tah sir? How is Gio now? Said there were students who had been detained by the police in the city of T sir?”
“Duh Pak Bili this ask one-on-one,” said Mr. Damar interjected.
The other teacher seemed to be waiting for Julio's answer but suddenly the entrance bell rang.
Julio only chuckled at the expression of the other teachers who looked disappointed because they had not heard the explanation about the incident that happened to one of his students.
“Sorry sir, ma'am, later in his class there are students named Reza, Rion, Reno, Farhan, Dion, Angga, Rozi and Alan after the first hour lesson is completed, please ask them to BK room, please,” said Julio gave a message to all those teachers.
Everyone nodded in understanding and gave a thumbs up.
Most of the teachers went to teach in their respective classes, only 4 teachers left in the room.
“So how sir, Gio now?” ask Mr. Bili repeat the question.
“I heard from his parents, Gio has been aware since last night, later I plan there.”
“So it says that the student held p*lisi how is sir?”
Julio sighed. “Which I heard from p*lisi there, Gio's friends took revenge and beat up students who beat up Gio, sir, but I haven't heard directly from them. Later I want to ask,” said Julio explained.
Mr. Bili nodded in understanding.
“But they are not detained p*lisi, sir?” ask Mr. Darma curious.
“Ah yes, I also do not know why that is so, maybe because one of the family of students who take care in the back... ” said Julio doubtful.
“Oh? Among those students were Rion and Reza right, sir?”
Julio looked confused, more precisely pretending to be confused. “Iya pak... .”
“Oalah yo pants sir. You've met Rion's father, right?”
Julio nodded. “Yes, but can it be, sir?”
“Lho you are not too plain, sir. Many people p*lisi who can indeed solve all ‘trouble’ his family hahaha. His father Rion kadiv pr*pam p*lres in the city of S, sir,” replied Mr. Bili with a laugh.
“I ndak-follow ya,” said Mr. Darma with a fear expression while Julio only bobbing heads.
Julio heads to the photocopier to print a midterm repeat that will be held next week.
“Loh sir Julio has finished making a problem for UTS?” ask Mr. Bili again.
“Iya sir already,” Julio replied with a friendly smile.
‘ya though not me who make about hehe’ hehe<TAG1> said Julio in heart.
“Wah you this when it looks very busy but even ready first. I have not been sir,” said Mr. Bili while scratching his head that does not itch.
Julio just smiled, he was reluctant to respond because the conversation would become longer.
After finishing printing the replay, Julio returned to his seat and refocused on his laptop.
...◇◇◇...
In class…
Reza was almost late for class, just as the bell rang he had just arrived at class. Seeing Lilia sitting in her place with a serious expression, Reza turned her gaze.
Reza put down her bag and sat down in place while looking at Lilia who remained focused facing forward.
Halina who saw the interaction of Lilia and Reza just silently observed without asking.
Seeing Reza who sometimes seemed very close to Lilia made Halina think of many things. Especially at that time Lilia had told him to come back first because she wanted to talk to Reza. This time, however, the interaction looks distant.
Shortly after, the teacher arrived.
“Reza, after this lesson is finished you are sent to the BK room,” said bu Sri with a serious expression.
“Ready, ma'am,” said Reza with a relaxed expression.
The lesson goes on as usual. At the end of the meeting, Ms. Sri gave a grid for a midterm repeat to be held next week.
After the lesson, Reza immediately rose to the BK room. As soon as Reza left, Lilia placed the wound plaster in her desk drawer.
Halina did not know that because she was focusing on reading textbooks for the next hour.
...◇◇◇...
The BK room…
When Julio entered the BK room, the 8 students who were asked to come were already standing in the room.
Julio sat down and hung out the students' faces one by one. He sighed. “You know why you were called here?”
“On yesterday right sir?” guess Rion while laughing.
“Yes right, there seems to be no guilt huh you guys are this?”
“Why feel guilty sir? Who started them, our team was beaten,” Reno said.
“Well, try to tell me the chronology,” pinta Julio with a flat expression.
“I can info Gio beaten sir,” replied Gio quickly.
“Then how do you know that the SMK student who beat up Gio?”
“That helped Gio take pictures when they ran away sir,” replied Reno.
Julio scrunched his forehead. “Where do you know the person who helped Gio?”
All the students were silent nobody opened their voices. Julio seemed to think. “Wah, your friendship is indeed worth appreciating huh? What is it because you don't want to involve high-achieving students?”
Reza's expression seemed to change, he could guess Julio already knew the person who leaked information related to Gio being beaten.
“Well I don't want to talk about the beating you guys did because even the ke*lician does not mind it.. ,” said Julio hung up the sentence he said.
Rion seemed to remain calm despite knowing Julio meant to insinuate her.
“I'll give you the punishment because you're home when school hours aren't over. There are some students who have been truant 3 times this month. You know if ditching three times in one month will get a penalty?”
Some of the students looked worried. “Tau sir.”
“Well I want to give you guys a lightening. I want to give you a punishment in exchange for calling a parent.”
Some of the students looked happy. “What punishment sir?”
“Follow extracurricular activities for one month,” Julio said while playing a pencil with his hands.
“That's his punishment pack?” ask Reno curiously.
“Ya,” reply Julio brief.
“That's not a punishment,” said Rion with a displeased expression.
“Ya in general it is not a punishment, but for you it is a punishment. Do you like that kind of activity? Isn't telling you to follow an unwelcome activity the same as punishment?”
Some of the students seemed relieved but others seemed annoyed by what Julio said.
“Please fill in this form, you can choose the punishment or calling of parents, oh who have not skipped three times do not need to fill,” Julio explained while thrusting the paper sheet.
“Yang has filled out the form can return to class,” said Julio added.
After a few minutes, Reza was still silent while holding the piece of paper.7 other students had already returned first.
“Why Reza?”
“What are no other penalties?”
“Of course not.”
Reza stared intently at Julio. But the young teacher laughed.
“You are a student, do not look at your teacher with such an expression, I am so afraid,” Julio joked.
“How is Gio doing?”
“I got the info he was conscious last night. I plan to go there later.”
Reza was silent, actually he was very lazy if he had to talk a lot with the teacher who thought suspicious.
“Can I ask?”
“Ask what?”
“You why choose teaching here?”
Julio was not too surprised to hear the question because his grandfather Reza had previously delivered talks with his grandson.
“Yes, there are many reasons why I choose to teach here. Why would Reza want to know that?”
“Because you are suspicious,” replied Reza briefly.
Julio scrunched his forehead. “Suspicious?”
Reza was silent for a long time. Julio picks up a bottle of drink because she feels thirsty waiting for Reza who never speaks.
“How you stare at suspicious Lilia...”.
“Uhukk... hghh.” Julio who was drinking immediately choked on hearing Reza's words. He did not expect to hear such a word.
“Hahh, is that why you said such a strange thing back then? Pftttt.” Julio laughs.
Reza seemed annoyed by Julio's response. “Should I have a photo yes when you look towards Lilia and when looking at other students.”
Julio racked his brain trying to find the right reason, but this time he found no solution to this situation.
“I do not understand what you mean, I treat all students with the same treatment,” Julio said trying to deny.
Reza still looked at Julio with an unhappy expression. “Your answer is convoluted. It seems that no matter how I ask, you will still deny. Then let me remind you of this one thing, Lilia your student, do not do anything beyond your duties as a teacher.”
“Reza seems like you are thinking too far...”.
“Other people may be able to deceive you, but people have noticed Lilia for a long time can definitely be aware of your actions. You better be careful so that there are no bad rumors.”
“Reza, I know you like Lilia and are close to her but accusing your teacher like this isn't it outrageous?”
Reza sighed. “As far as sir Julio wants to deny anything, I just reminded. One more don't eat alone with your students… ."
Julio was silent, he knew what Reza meant. The bright brown-eyed man looked surprised because it was disputed by Reza.
“I don't know where you can get that information from, but I bought a meal for Lilia as a thank you because she was willing to accompany the careful intelligent race preparation. At that time there was also Sri ma'am in that place.”.
Reza was silent for a moment. “Yes as much as possible do not create circumstances that make other students misunderstand sir. If anyone spreads rumors how?”
Julio was silent, he looked surprised by Reza's words.
“I'm sorry if it makes other people think everywhere. Thank you for reminding me, Reza,” said Julio ended the debate.
Reza put down the filled paper and then went straight from the BK room.
Julio was still sitting in his place, holding his head which suddenly hurt. He did not expect if all this time someone noticed his behavior.
‘Did I really pay too much attention to Lilia because she is very similar to Nina?’ julio said in his heart.
Julio also remembered his father's warning yesterday. He knew that Lilia was not Nina, but just by looking at the girl, his longing for Nina could be a little treated.
Even so, Julio confirmed Reza's remarks. If until there are bad rumors that arise because of him, not only his duty fails, but the girl's life may be bad.
Julio sighed many times and then got up from his seat after clearing the form that had been filled by the 8 students.
...◇◇◇...
Reza returned to his seat after finishing from the BK room, he saw a sore in his desk drawer. The black-eyed man smiled. He knows who gave it to him.
After the lesson was over and the break, a bespectacled woman came to Lilia's class and said that Lilia was asked to face Julio in the BK room.
Reza let out a long sigh with a displeased expression while Halina only resigned despite being disappointed because she could not eat three more.
Reza's suspicions towards Julio grew even bigger as he repeatedly looked at Julio's eyes when he saw another looking Lilia.
It's just that it's impossible for him to tell Lilia directly because it must be that brown-eyed girl didn't realize it.
Reza tried to think of various ways, but did not find the right solution.
Ever since the fight she had done some time ago, Reza had been determined not to approach Lilia because she was self-aware that she was not someone who deserved to be around the brown-eyed girl.
His behavior can have a bad impact if many know he is friends with the accomplished woman of one school.
The black-eyed man let out a long sigh many times for not finding the right solution so that Lilia could keep her distance from Julio.
