INSECURE, Love of the Past
Zain VS Dendi

POV Zain's

Ivan, Daffa and Aldi left after we planned something to investigate Dendi. I compressed the bruise on my face, it hurt so much that I screamed a little while compressing the wound. Fortunately, my parents were out of town. Otherwise, it is certain that the third world war will begin.

I will definitely report Dendi to the police, and Dendi's parents aka my uncle will definitely be hostile towards my family. I was very confused to face the action of Dendi, do I have to tell Sister Sandra how the original behavior of her sister? Or I'm self-serving and let the family know for themselves Dendi's bad attitude all along.

I was very worried about Maria's current state, she would be in danger if Cantika told her about Dendi's nature. I'm more worried about Maria than Kia, because Dendi definitely won't like people who interfere with her problems. As for Kia, she would not harm him because she liked Kia. He will definitely seek Kia's attention and build a good image and show the best part in her.

My head was very dizzy and almost broke thinking about all this. In two weeks, the national exam will begin. I have to focus on the exam, but problem after problem comes and turns.

I haven't even read much less learned the try out yesterday that the teacher taught us when we were staging. My brain can't catch the lesson because it keeps thinking about Dendi who always teases Kia. Especially now Maria must have a problem if she is willing to help Cantika.

3 Days later..

I am getting ready to go to school today. I was on my bike but when I got out of my gate, Dendi stopped me. His face filled with anger, he pulled my arm down from the bike.

"Down Lu!!" He pulled me while pulling my arm.

I got off the bike and dodged Dendi's hand from my arm.

"What else do you want? I don't want any more business with you." I looked at him with a sharp look.

"Lu still has the same business I'm Zain. You think I'm gonna let you know that you hit me until my face is ruined?" Dendi pushed my body until it hit the front gate of my house.

"Keep now what do you want, huh? Want to play violence again? Would you like me to reveal your behavior to Sandra's sister and uncle?" Threaten me to him.

"Dare Lu report the same to my parents or brother Sandra, abis temen-men Lu!! Including the Maria. You think I don't know that Lu Sempet likes him?" I was surprised to hear Dendi.

How did she know I used to love Maria? I never told anyone. I held my feelings for Mary alone.

"Never touch Maria!! If that happens, I won't hesitate to report Lu to the police." I rode my bike again and soon passed leaving Dendi.

'Shit!! How could Dendi know about that? I need to talk to Ivan about this when Maria is in danger.' My inner.

I rode the bike at high speed, my heart was not calm as dendi told me that. Without me noticing, Dendi followed me and confronted me in the middle of the road, when I suddenly stopped my bike.

"Gilak Lu Den!! I'll go to school first." Snap me to him. But Dendi got off the bike and got closer to me.

"Down Lu, don't go to school.. I still have business with Lu, I haven't bales all of Lu's punches on me." Dendi pushed me off the bike until I fell down the road.

I got up and fought him, but my lack of fitness overwhelmed me a bit against Dendi. I was still being hit by her, I vaguely heard Maria's voice screaming from a distance.

"Zayn.." Shouted Maria calling my name, she ran towards me who kept getting hit by Dendi.

"Please, please.. Sir please, my friend is beaten." Maria kept asking for help from others passing by, while Dendi was unaware of her presence as she focused on beating my face and body.

"HEY, STOP..!!" A grown man approached us, and Dendi turned to him. He immediately stopped beating me, he glanced at Maria and immediately left me without saying a word.

The sound of his muffler was heard very disturbing hearing when he drove his motor very fast. I who was still lying on the road could not move in the slightest because it was not powerful at all.

Maria crouched down and propped my head on her thighs.

"Sir, help me, we'll take my friend to the clinic.." Mary said to the man.

"Yes neng, I call angkot first ya." The father went to call an angkot.

Maria touched my face gently, her worried look made me feel very comfortable being noticed by her. I looked into her beautiful eyes but Maria turned her face away and said,

"Zain, I have to take you to the clinic." Mary was about to stand up but I prevented her and pulled out Mary's hand.

He grabbed my body and resuscitated it under a shady tree on the side of the road. Even though I was a little tired of seeing her struggle to hold my tall body like that, but Maria kept trying to reach me. I'm sorry, my cute and tiny best friend..

"No need Mar, just call my mom and say we're on xxxx street." Maria took my phone and called my mom. He ran to the man to say that my mother was coming to pick us up.

I saw her running a little towards me, she looked so cute and adorable. Maria sat down beside me and asked the real incident. I told Dendi the details of my problem and told her that she was my cousin.

"What's? So Dendi's your cousin?" Maria was surprised to hear that.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer's short.

"Why didn't you tell me that Sandra and Dendi are your cousins.? You know, I used to call Brother Sandra to ask you about Kak Kayla." Mary said as if I was wrong here.

"Well, you've never been the same as me. Boro-boro nanya, consider me never, right? You always keep your distance from me so how can I tell you about my brother?" My words made Maria speechless.

He didn't say anything after I said that. It looks like Maria feels guilty for me, and it makes me feel unbearable for her.

"Sorry Mar.. I didn't mean to offend you.." I apologized to him.

"It's not your fault that I'm wrong." Answer's short.

I just fell silent..

"You go to school, I'm fine here alone, but tell the teacher that I'm sick." I break the silence.

"No, I'll be truant right now.. I want to get you." Maria looked at me and smiled.

I'm riveted..

Just this time he looked at me and smiled sincerely at me. At once I could not condition my feelings, but I was privileged in my heart. Maria belongs to Ivan, and I already have Kia.

A few minutes later, my mother's car came and we both got into the car to get out of the place..
