"Ma. sorry sir," said Friska stuttering as she lowered her gaze. He did not have a single shred of courage to glance at Raka who was right in front of him.
Raka just smiled obliquely in response to an apology from Friska. He also pulled a chair and sat while holding his right leg in a relaxed style. He played a flash disk in his right hand.
He continued the process of introductions.
Now, replace Nurul and Lidya who become spectators. They still stand where they were.
"Why are you doing that Friska?" Ask Raka with an emphasis-filled tone.
"I.. I just want to prank Lidya, sir." she hesitated half a whisper, hoping Lidya could not hear her confession.
Unfortunately, Friska's hope is just a delusion, because Lidya had guessed it before. Now both of Lidya's hands clenched in anger. It was very desirable for her to pull Friska's headscarf and pull her hair.
"Oh... So he has a grudge against Lidya?" Raka muttered in his heart.
"What's the matter between you?"
"Eumm... Actually we have nothing to do, sir." replied Friska while stealing a look at Lidya.
Raka just frowned hearing Friska's answer. He was confused by that statement. "Then?" he added to ask for further explanation.
"Ma. sorry Sir. If you want to punish me, I'm ready to do it." His speech diverted the question from Raka because it was impossible for him to admit that he had been jealous of all the popularity that Lidya had gained so far.
In addition, he should be punished rather than be ashamed of the confession he should not have confessed before Lidya at this time.
Raka felt amused himself to see the honesty of Friska, he did not end up thinking with the way the mind of a girl he faced now.
Just as he wanted to say the punishment to Friska, suddenly Lidya approached Friska and grabbed the collar of the girl's shirt and a fist that was ready to be pinned to the frightened face. He tried to hold back his anger.
"Why do you intend to prank me on Friska?" Lidya asked with a gnash of her molar teeth holding back the anger.
"Do you know who you're dealing with, huh?!" with a higher voice.
He does not accept if Raka ignores the reason that he thinks is very important than a punishment that will not necessarily make Friska become deterred and do not want to do bad things again. Either it will befall him or befall others as before.
Honestly, all this time he was only indifferent if Friska insulted other friends and other underclassmen, because he thought that it was not his business.
But this time, Friska had already offended him on purpose and wanted to cast her blame onto another innocent person altogether.
Can't be left out anymore. If it continues to be silenced, there will be more and more victims next.
Nurul who has been helped by his task to prevent Lidya finally can only hope that there is a miracle that can prevent something worse.
While Raka was still silently unresponsive in her seat, Nurul was trembling alone. "Raka should have broken them... Why is he just quiet?" nurul murmured in his heart.
"A.. I.." she answered Friska stammered with fear. He turned his gaze towards Raka while putting on a face that was heartbreaking to expect help from Raka "Please forgive me Sir, I promise I won't repeat it again."
Bugh...
A fist has been pinned by Lidya to Friska's stomach. He was forced to change the direction of his attack because he felt a little pity with the expression of Friska who asked Raka for help.
"Ssshhh" ringis Nurul as if he also felt the pain Friska suffered.
"Geez, this girl is really reckless." raka muttered because she had previously thought that Lidya was just bluffing to scare Friska away.
Finally he took the initiative to divorce the quarrels of the two, he stood up from his seat and then held the shoulder to the right of Lidya. "We'd better talk about Lidya" he said.
If left unchecked, worse things will happen and he will be a key witness of the incident. He did not want to leave a bad impression in his internship.
"I've let her do this all along sir, how could I possibly let her go."
"Let me handle it, whatever your reasons, violence is not the thing to solve a problem."
"But Sir."
"You and Nurul should return to the Hall! Let me give him the punishment."
Meanwhile Nurul who was still behind them could breathe a sigh of relief because this time Raka could stop the quarrel from the two.
After all, they still had to return to the Hall to continue the event until it was over.
Another case with Nurul, Lidya shouted in her heart because this time she was forced to suppress her anger again. He breathed his rough breath and then turned around to leave Friska who was still bowing with tears of regret as well as enduring the pain in her stomach.
Puuukkk
Not forgetting that he patted Raka's shoulder tightly to channel a bit of his frustration.
"Don't let go of him" he said, pointing at Friska.
With a heavy heart Lidya swings her steps and then holds Nurul's hand to get out of the classroom. On the way back to the Hall, not long after that they met a man. The man was an uninvited figure in today's activities.
The man tried to block their way. When they turned to the right, the man turned his foot to the right to block their path.
If they were to the left, the man would still do the same, making Lidya's heart even more upset. Nurul also felt annoyed with the figure of the man who was now pranking them.
Finally Lidya pushed the left shoulder of the man.
"Hey... What do you want?" ask Lidya while shaking her waist.
"It's a public street... Anyone can get through here." snapped the man acting indifferently.
"But that doesn't mean you have the right to get in our way" Nurul warned the man.
"Yes, who are you really? It seems like we have never seen you before." continued Lidya while watching the figure of the man from top to bottom with a look full of telisik.
