Blue Scandals
31 - Secret story
Reza woke up to the alarm from her phone. He blinked his eyes a few times. The pain in the corners of the lips and the pain in the shoulders make him grimace.
His memory of last night's events returns. He sighed. His eyes glanced towards his hand which was still holding onto the wound plaster.
Reza closed his eyes again. He was worried about going to school under such circumstances.
Tok.dok..
“Reza, are you not in school?” reza's mother said from behind the door.
Reza remained silent in her position, her eyes looking blankly at the ceiling of her room.
‘Solid aja time yes? But again uts... ’ said Reza in heart.
The black-eyed man got up from his bed and opened the door.
The mother who saw the pale face of her son was immediately worried. “You don't have to go to school first, but you're doing it?” reza's mother said with an anxious expression.
Her mother's hand was about to touch the corner of her son's injured lip,
“Aw.” Reza grimaced, the pain felt even more as his mother's cold hand touched the wound.
“Diobatin first yes?” diana said with great anxiety. The woman immediately took the medicine box near the middle room.
Reza followed her mother while looking around. “Which father?”
Diana opened the medicine box and took out the cotton and other necessary items.
“Still asleep,” replied Diana quietly.
Reza kept quiet, letting her mother clean the wound on the corner of her lips and then smearing it with ointment.
“What will your work be?”
“Reza later permission first.. .”.
Silence, no further conversation. The pain in Reza's shoulder grew, but she did not want to worry her mother.
Right after Diana treated her son's wounds, Reza's father came out of her room. The middle-aged man glanced at Reza and went straight to the bathroom.
“Let mother later who permission to go to school yes, you follow up aja,” said Diana.
“Nevent need to bu.”
“Later you noted truant.”
“Nothing.”
“No, later mom to school.”
Reza was silent, refusing to answer her mother's words again.
As Diana was returning the medicine box, Reza got up intending to return to her room. But his father who had just come out of the bathroom stared intently at him.
“Do as you please, as long as you do not engage in promiscuity. Do not let you take drugs.”
After saying that, Bayu directly entered into his room.
Reza took a long breath. He also went into his room and locked the door. The black-eyed man grabbed his phone and sent a message to Aunt Mona for permission first.
Reza recalled what her father said a few minutes ago. It's all too late. He's been stuck with it for years.
...◇◇◇...
At school…
.
.
When the clock shows at 9, Reza's mother has arrived at school with her fancy dress in black combination of golden colors.
The woman stood up with a confused expression. Julio who just happened to be new from the ordinance room saw the woman.
“Excuse me, mom there need something in this school?”
The woman looked over and bowed her head in greeting. “I'm Reza's mother. Sorry, if you want to convey a license where ya?”
Julio frowned. “Can to me, I am a BK teacher, later can I convey to the classroom guardian Reza.”
“Oh so, well, please help,” said Diana while handing over the permit and then intended to leave immediately.
“You don't want to sit for a while?” ask Julio kindly.
The 40-year-old woman still looks young and beautiful. She looks a lot like Reza.
“I'm sorry, I have to come back soon, Reza is still sick...”
“Oh yes forgive me.”
Diana nodded and left. Julio actually wanted to know more about the state of the Reza family, but he just remembered not to interfere in the affairs of his students too deeply.
Julio took a deep breath and returned to the teacher's room and handed the license to Reza's homeroom teacher, Sri.
“Reza's grandfather is here sir?”
“Not Reza's grandfather, but his mother.”
Madam looked surprised. “Seriously sir? What happened until his mother came alone? Usually the one who comes for school affairs is always his grandfather.”
“I also do not know ma'am,” Julio replied who was also with a confused expression.
“Where's the appearance? I used to meet when he was young, very beautiful, the clothes used are also always branded.” asked Bu Sri curiously.
Julio was reluctant to respond to Sri's mother who was ready to gossip. “Ya as bu Sri said, she is beautiful.”
“Not sir? His son is handsome so,” said Sri bu while laughing.
Julio only shook his head to hear the teacher praising Reza. The bright brown-eyed man immediately returned to his seat.
“Oh yes sir, gifts for students who follow the intelligent race carefully already shared?”
“Not yet ma'am, I just met the principal and went to the administrative room. Mr. Arman said he would give it at the ceremony next Monday.”
“Oalah so... Who can participants only yes sir?” ask Sri's curious mother.
“Iya, why bu?”
“That, I want to give a gift also to Lilia, she will help a lot in the preparation of the race,” said Ms. Sri explained.
Julio seemed to think. “By the hell, if bu Sri want to give something later I will also come along.”
Madam Sri smiled. “Truly yes sir Julio?”
“Iya,” Julio replied with a smile.
Julio listened intently but he was quite confused to hear that there were students who were called to have perfect personalities.
“Maybe sounds excessive sir? But really, you will not find students like Lilia in this area,” said Ms. Sri again, this time laughing.
“I agree, other good students are many, but with a combination of intelligence like that is rare. ,” said Julio responded.
“Iya right sir, let alone beautiful, I also want to have a child like that.”
Julio just laughed at what Sri said.
“Lucky yes parents have children like Lilia,” said Ms. Sri again, this time her expression changed.
The middle-aged woman looked pensive as if she was reminiscing about something unpleasant.
“Why bu?” ask Julio curiously.
“No, I only remember events that have happened for a long time.. ” said ma Sri still with an expression that looks sad.
“If I can know, what is it?”
Bu Sri looked around, the teacher who was guarding the uts had not returned, there were only 4 teachers in the room. 2 other teachers seemed to be wearing earphones.
“This is actually unknown to anyone sir, so after I tell this story, do not ask or say this to anyone.”
Julio nodded in understanding and prepared to listen to what Sri said.
Bu Sri began to tell the story 20 years ago, 1998.
At that time Lilia's mother, Ani was still living in the city of U. Bu Sri and Bu Ani have been friends since school. It's just that Ani's mother married first and did not continue her education because her family did not have enough costs.
Bu Ani married Budi in 1995 and in 1997 their first child was born, a beautiful woman who was then named Nania Isana Rahajo.
In the year of Nia's birth, several countries in Asia are experiencing financial crisis that makes many countries experience big problems.
When Nia was 1 year old in 1998, there were riots in various parts of Indonesia due to the monetary crisis.
In the same year also occurred human trafficking and exploitation pr*stitution. Many kidnapped civilians are still children and adults.
The bad thing also happened to the family of Ani and Budi sir. One-year-old Nia was kidnapped.
Chaotic keadan makes Ani and Pak Budi can not do much even though they have tried to find help.
After months of searching, Nia was not found. Ms. Ani was traumatized by the incident and was afraid to leave the house for months. When you see a baby, sometimes Ani will cry hysterically.
After an unsuccessful search. Budi finally tried to be sincere. The whereabouts of the child are unknown but a year later news spread about the trafficking of children.
At that time the hope that his daughter was still alive again appeared in the mind of Mr. Budi.
Julio listened intently to what Sri said, but the middle-aged woman did not continue her story because she was busy wiping her tears.
“I'm sorry if this makes you recall a bad incident... ” said Julio tried to empathize.
He wanted to ask because a lot of things suddenly appeared in his head, but Julio felt bad about Sri who looked sad.
“It's okay, it's over. Now they already have a beautiful daughter who boasts,” said Ms. Sri with a smile.
Julio was completely shocked by what he had just heard, he could not help his curiosity. “Then is the Nia still alive somewhere?” ask Julio to make sure.
Bu Sri sighed. “No, the little girl was declared dead, at that time I knew the child would be sold to westerners who did not have children, but some babies who would be taken to the Netherlands died, one of them is Nia.”
“Then you said Lilia did not know that, why?”
Bu Sri smiled with a sad expression. “His parents were severely traumatized and never talked about it, so his daughter now certainly does not know and it is no good if she knows such a sad story.”
Julio silently stared, after hearing that Lilia had an older sister, who first appeared in his mind was Nina.
Her fiance who was very similar to Lilia was probably having a blood relationship with Lilia. But when he heard Sri's explanation that the child was confirmed dead, Julio seemed to lose consciousness.
“Pak Julio?” call Sri's mother confused when she sees Julio's strange-looking expression.
“Oh, forgive me.. I was very surprised by what mom Sri told me.. ,” said Julio stuttered.
“Do not say this to Lilia yes sir,” said bu Sri with a sad expression.
“I understand, thank you for telling me that. I do not know the family background of this school student is very diverse.”
Shortly thereafter the break sounded. All the supervising teachers started to return to the teacher's room.
Bu Sri returned to her place and Julio still looked surprised by the story she had just heard.
Julio pulled out her other phone and sent a message to Elena
^^^To : Elena^^^
^^^Please find out about the baby trade in 1998 in U.^^^
Clik...
Julio turned off the phone and put it back in the bag. He took a long breath. There was a sudden fear that appeared. He hoped that what was on his mind was not the real thing.
“Pak Julio!”
The bright brown-eyed man was shocked. “Ya pack?”
“Had this Julio sir again daydreaming what? Called from earlier who did not hear,” said Mr. Damar with a serious expression.
“Sorry sir... .”
Mr. Damar laughed. “Had sir Julio this don't mind too much, later you quickly old hahaha.”
Julio just smiled. “So what's up sir?”
“This is you know, I want to ask tuker ngawasin schedule, sir Julio today ngawasinnya only once right? I'm called the principal now."
“Iya sir, can. So I will keep an eye on at what time?”
“Loh yes now to sir.. ,” said Mr. Damar with a serious expression.
“Loh already logged in?”
“Well sir Julio this bell time so loud do not hear, so sir do not dream on hahaha. It's been logged in from 7 minutes ago sir.”
“Waduh...”.
Mr. Damar immediately handed the pile to Julio. Julio rushed to XI B.
Mr. Darma just shook his head to see Julio who looked unusual. The physics teacher immediately left the teacher room towards the principal room.
