"If I have proof, is Aunt ready if I report back Aunty's son?" david said, All eyes were staring at him.
"You want to threaten me?" Mama Damar did not believe David's words.
David reached into his uniform pocket, then pulled out his cell phone.
"All the evidence is here, sir. Please see for yourself." David handed over his cell phone to the Principal.
Mr. Gofur received the phone given by David, then immediately opened it.
There is a video stored in the phone, and Mr. Gofur also plays the video. Mr. Gofur was quite surprised to see the video, then he gave David's mobile phone to both parents Damar, so they could see for themselves the behavior of his son.
David was quite satisfied to see the shock of both of Damar's parents. "Is there a rebuttal from the video, Om, Auntie?" ask David. "Do I also need to call children who have been beaten Aunty children because they know the behavior of Damar who often smoke secretly in school? And those who are threatened if they dare to complain about Damar to the school?" he continued as if he wanted to dismantle all the behavior of their son's less attittude.
There was not the slightest fear on David's face facing the problem that cornered him. He knows that what he has done is right, so for what he fears what is not his fault, even if it distorts him.
David who was born into a genius child, had never been rash in doing something. He will do evil to someone when he has accurate evidence. Without it, there was no way he could do it carelessly. For it is the same as plunging himself into the pit of destruction.
Both of David's parents were embarrassed. How could a child of David's age be so brave to reveal the truth, even without being accompanied by a guardian disciple next to him.
"If Auntie still wants to continue this matter to the authorities, I will contact my parents and our family lawyers to proceed with the case" he said.
David's statement instantly made both of Damar's parents stunned.
"Who is this boy? Looks like he's not from a careless family" inner dada Damar.
"Son David, we apologize for what we said and for the attitude of our son, Damar. I hope this problem is enough to get here. Let us punish our own children. We will also not ask for compensation or anything," said papa Damar regretted.
"With Arumi it should be Om and Aunt apologizing. Because here Arumilah the real victim," said David.
Both of Damar's parents apologized to Arumi. The matter was resolved without legal recourse. However, the school has its own rules. The children involved in the fight were also suspended from the school, except for Arumi.
because here he is just a victim. Damar and his three friends have signed a black agreement on white. If they are caught doing violence and doing things that are prohibited in school, such as smoking, bullying friends, threatening. They will be dishonorably expelled from the school.
After the incident, none of them dared to bully Arumi. Even the issue of David's bravery to Damar's parents spread in school. More and more female students are embracing David. Somehow Arumi felt dislike for David who is now like being approached by girls at school, even though David seemed cold to face them.
"Eh, Dave, I'm broadcasting. Kok, you can think of it anyway, make a record of the events of Arumi at that time. Why not just help?" asked Fathur who had put his backpack on his bed.
That afternoon David deliberately played at Fathur's house to play games with his best friend. Because the house of Fthur was deserted, so they were free to shout at will. Fathur's parents chose to live abroad. In fact, during his friendship with Fathur, David had never once seen his papa.
"If I don't record it first, I'm in jail, Arumi is too." David opens his school uniform and wears only a plain white T-shirt that is the inner part of his uniform.
"Keep seriously going to report back to Damar?" ask fathur again.
"I can't be that bad. Pity his future is still long," replied David who was not up to the heart. "By looking at the behavior of him who was caught by one school alone, it was more than enough for me" he added.
"So, is that just a bluff?"
"Who, Thur. If we look weak they will feel more victorious" David replied.
Fathur laughed at David's words. He's not mindless with David's intelligence. A bluff that can make Damar's parents apologize. That's really quite remarkable.

Time continued to pass, leaving and carving memories between them. The three friends have now stepped on class XII.
That afternoon, the three friends planned to study together at David's house. However, because there are some things that Arumi must do at school, the girl also asked her two friends to go to David's house first, while she will follow, after her business is finished.
"You guys go first, yeah. I'll just take a taxi." Arumi passes to the library leaving behind her two best friends.
David and Fathur also went to David's house by riding their respective sport bikes.
David and Fathur stop the bike right in front of David's gate. David and Fathur put the bike in, when a security man managed to open the gate wide. David and Fathur open the helmet that covers his head, then put it on the rearview mirror of the motorcycle.
"Sir, later if there is Arumi Surub just go in, yes!" david's message as his home security opened the big gate again.
"Okay, Mom," said the security nodding respectfully. David immediately entered followed by Fathur behind him.
David's parents and the workers at his home already know the closeness of the three teenagers. Both Arumi and Fathur they often visit David's house.
Moreover, Arumi the teenage girl who is very friendly, all Household Assistants who work at the house of David also really like the girl. Whenever offered a drink, Arumi would not be served by them. Instead the girl will help them make drinks for herself and her two best friends.
Both of David's parents are very grateful for Arumi's presence in David's life. Since David's friendship with Arumi, David turned into a child Raijin and independent. When he needs something, as long as he can do it himself, he will not call his house assistant.
"Thur, have you given her necklace to Arumi?" asked David who was now leaning his body on the back of the sofa he was sitting on.
Some time ago Fathur had shown him a locket. The pendant that Fathur will give Arumi as an expression of his feelings. Until now David has not heard the news of the relationship, until he took the initiative to ask about it, even though there is a little pain in his heart.
"No, Dave. I keep talking to him every time. How do you think?" Fathur tried to ask his best friend's opinion.
"Yes, just shoot. Or I'm the one who said he's 'Arumi I love you. I hope you'll be my girlfriend'. Good idea, right?" david laughed.
Without Fathur realizing it was actually the sentence that David really wanted to reveal to Arumi, before he knew that Fathur also liked the same girl as him.
"Don't, dong. It's crazy you. I was a rival to my own best friend" he said, throwing a couch cushion at David who was still laughing.
"If made the title of the film is not good to say, Dave. My best friend became a love rival between me and my best friend" he continued. They also returned laughing.
"Eh, Dave. But you don't really like Arumi?" Fathur's question made David choke on the drink he was sipping in his glass.
"Check, uhuk! Yeah, nope. I might like my own best friend. Just relax. Arumi is not my type" David told a lie.
Without them noticing, there was a girl who was stunned at the door. The girl rubbed her tears that started sliding without excuse. His chest was tight to hear David's statement. He cursed his own folly that David treated him because the man had more feelings for him. Turns out he was wrong! David only considered him to be nothing more than a friend.
The girl ran to leave David's house.
"Please don't tell them I'm here, sir." The girl's message, when passing through the gate of David's house and got a questionable gaze from the security in the house.
"Well, Non," said the security.
***
A month has passed since that incident. David felt there was a difference from Arumi's attitude that looked more reserved. Every time David asks why? his best friend's answer was "It's okay".
That morning, after finishing sports lessons, David approached Arumi who was picking up clothes instead in their school locker. David wants to ask again why his best friend has changed lately.
"Rum ...," call David.
Arumi turned her head for a while, then returned to pick up the items in her locker. "Why are you, Rum?" david again. "Are you angry with me?" coined.
Arumi looked over, looking at David deeply. There was a clear liquid that was already nurturing in his eyes. In one blink, the liquid will spill without permission.
"I told you I didn't do anything" Arumi said, closing and locking the locker in front of her.
As he blinked the clear liquid just slid away. Arumi turned her face and was about to leave David. However, his steps came to a halt when David's hand successfully blocked his wrist.
"Arumi, Please! don't be like this, Rum. I'm sorry if I was wrong with you. I can't have you cuddled me like this all the time" said David still blocking Arumi's hand.
Arumi's tears are getting worse. He also did not want to avoid David, but the closer he got to David, his heart demanded more feelings and he knew if he continued to let it he would get hurt more. Because, he knew that his best friend had no more feelings for him.
Arumi turned her body and looked at David. The tears had already washed his cheeks. " You're not wrong, Dave. I was wrong, I was too stupid and expected more. Please, let me be like this, getting closer to you will only make me sicker" he said. "I'm sorry, Dave." Arumi takes her hand off David's and leaves his best friend with all the questions in David's mind.
David tried to digest every sentence issued by Arumi's mouth this morning, so that he could not digest every lesson given by his teacher, because he was too focused on Arumi's words to him.
What did Arumi mean this morning? is it possible that Arumi has more feelings for me? Then, why has he never told me directly? If Arumi really likes me, then why would she choose to stay away from me?
A few questions came to David's mind. His intelligence in the field of the Academy is actually unable to make him to understand the feelings of an Arumi.
A week had passed David was completely driven mad by Arumi's increasingly evasive attitude. After school David intends to make sure the girl's guess to him.
"Dave ...," suddenly Fathur was behind him, leaving David jumped.
"Lo don't forget tonight at the cafe?" ask Fathur. And only a nod of the head was responded by David. "Gue has a surprise for you," continued Fathur again.
David frowned. "Surprise?" tanyanya.
"Just look at it tonight" replied Fathur, then left David.
***
That night was the 3rd Anniversary night of their friendship. David was sitting on a bench in the corner of the cafe. The same cafe and seating every time they visit and celebrate their Anniversary of friendship every year.
David's eyes were fixed on the figure who was standing beside Fathur. Yes, it is Arumi. The girl looks very cute with a baby pink knee-length dres wrapped around her tiny body. His hair he let loose beautifully, there was only a beautiful clasp that adorned his head. Arumi looked so beautiful that night.
"Woi, don't look at my boyfriend for long!" said Fathur who is now standing next to David and closed his best friend's eyes with his palm. David who was surprised to release the hand of Fathur who stared questioningly at his best friend.
"Yes, we were officially made yesterday" said Fathur who is now sitting on the front bench of David, right next to Arumi who is now officially his girlfriend.
"We deliberately do not tell you first, because we want a surprise for you on the Anniversary of our friendship tonight," continued Fathur again.
David was silent, he looked at Arumi who was just downcast. "Congratulations, for you," said David.
That night David was quieter. He did not enjoy the food he ate. Occasionally he steals a look at Arumi who never looks at him. It turns out that someone who is sick sees the person he loves with others, even more so it is his own friend.
***
In fact, the time that passed so quickly was not able to erode David's love for Arumi. The last year of living life in school made him feel more pain every day when he saw the togetherness of Fathur and Arumi.
David's suffering did not only get there, even he had to live life on the same campus with his two best friends. David felt he could not escape the shadows of Arumi every day. The more he tried to forget the girl, the harder it was for him to do. David plans to leave the school and move to London. He hopes to forget about Arumi and start his new life there.
However, before he went to London, he did not realize Arumi had known his decision.
That afternoon, heavy rain poured into the capital. David who was standing down the stairs on his campus was shocked by the presence of Arumi in front of him. He saw the girl sobbing, Her cheeks were wet with tears.
"You're bad, Dave. You're really gonna leave me. Did I mean nothing to you all this time, Dave?" Arumi is getting sobbing.
"Maybe I'm stupid to expect more of you, but isn't there even the slightest bit of love in your heart for me, Dave?" Arumi's cry increasingly broke along with the swift rain that fell. David took Arumi into his arms. He clutched the body of the girl he loved so much.
"I'm sorry, Arumi. I was too cowardly to express my feelings. I don't want to ruin our friendship. Fathur also loves you very much, Arumi." Arumi grew sobbing when David expressed his feelings, so, all this time his feelings were not just clapping one hand.
"Then, why don't you say it, Dave? are you not also entitled to my love, and I am also entitled to choose to love anyone?" Arumi leaped into David's arms and looked at the young man before her demanding an answer.
"I'm sorry Arumi" he said softly.
"In fact I still can't open my heart to Fathur, Dave. I was wrong when I thought I could forget you and make you hurt that I accepted Fathur's love. The fact is I can't forget you one bit." Arumi looked at David.
David looked at Arumi with tears already nurturing in the corner of his eyes.
"Arumi, Fathur loves you so much, I'm sure he can make you happy. Maybe we are just destined to love each other without having each other" said David holding Arumi's hand. "I'm sorry, I'm going to London anyway" David continued.
Arumi's cries were breaking. "You're bad, Dave!" Arumi let go of David's hand and ran out. As David was about to chase after him, he saw Fathur already standing before him. The eyes of Fathur were full of anger.
"Thur ...."
BUM
a punch landed on David's face, his body staggered to the side of the stairs.
"BASTARD LO!" A punch landed again on David's face, until the young man was knocked on the floor. Fathur then leaves him, running after Arumi.
"ARUMMY!!" fathur shouted when he found Arumi's body lying unconscious in the middle of the road. Fresh blood flowed from Arumi's head. In the midst of the rain that fell. Fathur embraced the lifeless body of his lover.
"ARUMI ...."
In order to bury all his feelings for David, Arumi gave up his life just like that, which made Fathur blame David for the departure of Arumi, the girl he loved so much.
