"Dave ...," called a young man who was strenuously running up to his friend. "See, it's good not?" fathur asked David while showing him a silver necklace with a heart pendant.
David looked at the necklace and nodded. "For whom?" ask David.
"Make Arumi. I plan to shoot him back home from school. You go home alone, yes, today?" said Fathur, inserting the necklace into a pink box.
David just nodded, he put an object that had been grasped earlier into the pocket of his school uniform.
David and Fathur, two high school teenagers who have been friends for quite a long time. There was actually another one, a teenage girl named Arumi. They were friends of them still stepping on the bench of the First High School (SMP). While with Arumi they have only been friends for the past three years, since they first entered High School.
Arumi, who is a quiet teenage girl, is often bullied by her friends and seniors at school. Because of her beauty and intelligence, there are no doubt many young men at school who tease and approach her.
The presence of two handsome and quite reluctant men at Arumi's side also made them slowly move away. At first David and Fathur only felt sorry for the teenage girl because she was often bullied by male students. However, because Arumi looks friendly to them and the girl who is smart enough to help them work on school assignments that they do not understand to be the beginning of their closeness. Too bad, when they went up to XII class, they no longer lived in the same class.
"As an expression of gratitude I am with you for always helping me and protecting me." That was Arumi's answer when asked why she was so good at helping them with their schoolwork.
In fact, speaking of academics, David also has above average intelligence. It's just that, for some reason from the beginning to know Arumi, he was very happy if he studied with the girl. In contrast to Fathur who is often difficult in some subjects.
Slowly Arumi's presence in their lives also brought many changes to David and Fathur.They were lazy to learn now they became diligent. Especially for Fathur who did experience a lot of improvement from the values of the task and its repetition, in contrast to David who was accustomed to getting a value that was always satisfactory, although rarely learned.
Arumi's fate makes the two young men's lives more colorful, so there is no reason for them not to accept friendship with a beautiful girl as good as Arumi.
That afternoon, right at the break, the three friends spent their time in the library to discuss lessons that Fathur said were quite difficult. Although David did not feel too difficult, but he still followed them to the library and pretended not to understand the material to be discussed with Arumi.
"No, I can. You guys are basically smart, just a little lazy," said Arumi who was correcting the second problem he gave to his best friend. "I'm sure I'll understand once. It's great!" Arumi held out both of her thumbs.
"Tomorrow you'll teach us in class, so we can both be as smart as you," David said.
" Yes, if I study with you, I also feel more able to understand" Fathur said.
"You're too much to negate me. If you study diligently, I'm sure you can be smarter than me" said Arumi humbled.
That was the beginning of the friendship between them. Without them realizing it the longer the friendship becomes a sense of awe. Their hearts and minds demand more than just being friends.
***
At first Fathur and David are often called to the teacher's room for fighting with his senior to defend Arumi. And the peak occurred that afternoon during the break.
David, who does not find Arumi in the library, searches for the girl around the school. The place they used to visit when the break time arrived. David also asked some of the other students who passed by him.
"So I saw him being invited by one of his friends, Kak Damar, son of XII IPS 1, when Arumi went to the cafeteria," said one of the female students when David asked about Arumi's whereabouts.
"I think they said something, same Arumi. You see, after his friend Kak Damar spoke whispers, Arumi just came along," continued one of his friends again.
"Do you know where they're going?" ask David again.
"Either yes. I never accidentally saw them hanging out behind our school building near the warehouse, you know," replied the student named Sinta.
"Lo sure? What are they doing there? What do you want to go to school?" ask David's friend Riko.
"At that time, I was told by Susi to take a broom in the warehouse, then I accidentally heard a voice from behind. Well, just as I peeked, it turns out that brother Damar and his friends were smoking," whispered Sinta.
Without thinking long, David immediately ran to the place meant by Sinta. And it's true. He heard someone's voice there.
"Eat him, so the girl did not need to sell expensive dong," said Damar with a hand that began to go down Arumi's face.
The frightened Arumi could only cry, as both of her hands were already held by two of Damar's friends. Even Damar had already brought his face closer towards Arumi's face.
"Woi ... let her go!" david shouted when he saw four of his seniors were bulldozing Arumi and being rude to the girl in the back of her school building. Even the cornered Arumi could do nothing. His body was pushed to the wall.
"This, here. Songong's younger brother was just as senior. Wanna be your bad luck hero, huh?" shouted Damar, one of the senoirs who became the chairman of his three other friends.
Damar wants to push David. However, David immediately brushed off Damar's hand.
"Well, you're really brash, yeah!" said one of Damar's friends.
"Bank you all! How dare to fight girls! How humiliating! If you dare, here's my opponent!" challenge David, because it was very angry with the behavior of Damar and his friends at that time.
Without waiting for another warning, Damar immediately ran over to David.
BOOM!!
A punch landed on David's face, causing him to stagger instantly.
"Dave!" shouted Arumi.
The girl panicked when she realized the corner of David's bloody lips. He tried to run to David. However, the two burly tangabs had first restrained his body.
David rubbed the corner of his bloody lips, then the bead looked at Damar with a cynical and hateful look. He turned to look at Arumi and saw the girl's hand held by two friends Damar.
"So doang lo ability? Don't pretend to be a hero, you!" Damar smirked triumphantly while looking at David. David looked back at Damar, looking at his eyes that could no longer hold back anger.
BRUG
Damar's body fell on the ground after a blow from David landed right on his nose.
"Damn!" saya Damar while rubbing his nose that feels warm. Fresh blood flowed from his nose. He was surprised to see the blood on his hands. Not yet had he risen, a fist landed again on his cheek.
"David, enough Dave. STOP UP!" yelled Arumi while sobbing in fear.
"DAVID!!!" shouted Arumi again who saw Anton— friend Damar was raising his hand to hit David's head with the stone. Arumi covered her face with both palms. Then he sobbed, his body limp sitting on the ground.
BRUG!
Anton's body fell on the ground, just as someone pushed and hit him in the face.
Fathur came at the right time. He then pulls David's body away from the defenseless Damar.
"Lo crazy, yeah! Could die a man's son! control your emotions, we are still in school, you can also go to prison if this is the case," said Fathur still holding David's body which revolted to hit Damar back.
"Let go of I! Let me kill a child." David is still trying to fight.
"DAVID, STOP! Conscious, Dave. You've scared Arumi." Fathur tries to resuscitate David, his hand pointing towards Arumi. It was seen that the girl was crying sitting on the ground while covering her face with her hands.
David also realized, he immediately approached his friend who was sobbing. He crouched down in front of the girl, then he let go of both Arumi's hands that covered his face.
Arumi looked up at David, then he slammed into David's arms and sobbed deeper. "I'm scared, Dave," he said.
David also tried to calm his best friend by rubbing Arumi's head.
"Better now we go to the UKS first, yuk! we used to cure your wounds, Dave," asked Fathur on the two, when he saw there was a wound on the corner of David's lips.
When they arrived in the UKS. The place was crowded with students and teachers. Even the principal. All eyes were on them. David, Arumi, and Fathur could already guess what was going on.
"This is it, sir, the culprit" Anton pointed at David. "And this child hit me, sir," he continued, pointing at Fathur.
The Headmaster and several teachers looked at David and Fathur in turn.
"You guys again," said the Headmaster exhaling heavily. " You come into the Father's room! Anton you and the others are coming to your room right now!" tell the Headmaster firmly.
After David's wound was given a little red obak, he immediately followed the principal's orders to come to his room with Fathur.
"This time, how many times have I warned you not to do anything at school!" Shake the Headmaster to the Six students who are standing before him.
"Anton, Yogi, Deni. You are already XII class, you should be focused on learning to face the Final Examination, Not even busy being a thug!" said the Principal to the three tan Damar. "You too David, Fathur, I've been very happy to see your values, but why are you even making trouble in school? More so you, David. You are a good student here. What do people say that you behave like a thug? You guys have gone too far. What if Damar's parents sue and bring the matter to the authorities?" ask the school principal with emotion.
"Excuse me ...." Instantly Arumi was present in the room. There was a sense of guilt surrounding him. If David hadn't tried to help him, he probably wouldn't have had that problem.
The girl was worried that the incident would lead David to the authorities, and she would feel guilty when it happened.
"I'm sorry, Sir. All this is my fault. If it wasn't for me, David and Brother Damar wouldn't have fought" Arumi told reporters, leaving the principal shocked to hear.
"What do you mean, Arumi?" ask the principal.
"Excuse me," The voice from the direction of the door made them turn their heads. Both of Damar's parents entered after Mr. Gofur as the headmaster invited them to enter.
"Where's David here, huh?" mama Damar looks angry.
"I, Auntie," said David looking up at the woman whose age was estimated to be his mother's age.
"Why did you beat my son, huh? Want to be your hero at school. Because of you my son had to be treated in the hospital, it took quite a long time to recover his battered face because of you," He yelled at the woman by beating David's body with the Branded bag he was wearing. David did not rebel.
"I'm sorry, Auntie. I had a reason why I hit Damar" David said.
"What kind of excuse makes you beat my son to such a pulp, huh?" The woman still looks very emotional.
"Ma, this is School. Mama calm down, let's sit down!" bring the man behind the woman, who looks like the father of Damar. " We listen to their explanation first, let the Headmaster do the talking" the man continued after they sat down.
After gulping down the mineral water that her husband gave her, the woman looked a little calm. The headmaster began to ask questions to each of the students in front of him.
The answers of the three friends of Damar is certainly the same - corner David of course.
"I don't know what happened, sir. I was just looking for my two best friends, who some of their friends said were at the scene, when I got there, he said, I saw Anton holding a rock big enough to hit David on the head. David was hitting Damar. As his best friend, I knew David had a reason to do that. I also saw Arumi who was crying in fear" Fathur explained with what he saw.
"Whoa. You're David's best friend, yes you're definitely defending him," said mama Damar.
"Sorry, Aunt. If Auntie thinks like that. Then, what about Anton and his two friends, they could also make up the story, because they are friends of Damar," said Fathur turned the words of Mamma Damar. The woman looks upset.
"Sorry, Sir. If allowed I will explain the beginning of the incident" Arumi pinta told Mr. Gofur.
The headmaster nodded his head. " Please Arumi," he said.
"I'm sorry, Om, Aunt, David just wanted to help me because my brother Damar tried to harass me" Arumi explained as she wiped the clear crystal dripping in the corner of her eye. "I can't fight because my hands are held by two friends Kak Damar," continued Arumi.
"LIED!" yelled mama Damar, "there's no way my son would do that!" the woman's service did not accept. " I could have reported you on defamation, yes." she later threatened.
"Anyway, I want this case brought to the authorities, sir. I can't accept my son being accused like that!" Mamma Damar told Mr. Gofur.
Arumi could only sob. No one will believe him.
"If I have proof, is aunt ready if I report aunty back?" david's Speech. Make all eyes look towards him.
