The After The Rain
Layla and Her Sad Story

"So, you've been sitting here in wet clothes?" ask Kinara not to think.

Kinara did not expect that the rancid smell she had sniffed from the egg that had been thrown into Layla's body. Now, after he noticed again, there were indeed yellowish patches stuck to the gray-colored robe that Layla was wearing. Not only eggs, Layla was also watered with water so that the smell of the rancid eggs was increasingly spread everywhere.

Layla nodded her head. He looked at Kinara softly with reddened and puffy eyes. Traces of tears were clearly imprinted on her pale white cheeks.

"Who did it?" asked Kinara with obvious annoyance. "We have to report, this includes bullying. It can't be ignored."

Layla shook her head strongly. Because there is no point in reporting. In fact, who would defend someone whose name is being talked about everywhere because of his own stupidity? There, Layla will get more blasphemy.

"But if abandoned, they will become more so."

"I'm okay."

Pain. Kinara felt another corner of her heart ache when she saw a smile rise adorning Layla's beautiful face that was plain without a touch of makeup. When her world is shattered thanks to the actions of irresponsible people who have spread her disgrace, Layla can still singleness smile even though the obvious shock emanated from both eyes.

Fully aware that she had no right to impose anything on others, Kinara could only sigh. If it had been Layla's decision not to report, she as a friend can what?

"Keep, about Mr. Andreas-"

"That's me posting on campus base." Sela Layla before Kinara reached the end of her sentence. The girl then lowered her head, looking at her pair of shoes which were no longer pure white. Just like her who is no longer holy thanks to her stupidity for trusting others too much. "I want him to at least show empathy for me, not avoid it as if we've never been in a serious relationship." Reciprocity.

Then, Layla raised her gaze. Above them, the orange-colored clouds had already started to move away, leaving a gray color that would soon be completely darkened.

Next to him, Kinara was still speechless. When he first discovered the name of Mr. Andreas was brought up, he actually thought that it was the work of people who did not like the young lecturer. But now, when she discovered that the man was indeed involved, Kinara completely lost faith, even to herself.

"It wasn't Mr. Andreas who shared the video, but I felt he should at least show concern for what happened to me." Layla said again. His voice began to tremble again and a clear mist began to gather in his eye pelvis. "The video was stored on Mr. Andreas' laptop, Ra. And he lost that laptop a week before all this happened."

More and more lost words in Kinara's head when he heard that. He really did not think. Why would anyone keep a perverted video of themselves? What are they trying to gain from watching themselves doing obedience? The fun? The satisfaction? Whahuh? Kinara really did not understand their mindset, because for three years dating Atha, the man did not even dare to kiss her lips.

"I am a fool. I should have refused when Mr. Andreas asked for the scene to be recorded." One tear managed to escape wet Layla's cheek, followed by another tear that increasingly heavy falling. "The comfort that Mr. Andreas gave me has made my brain malfunction, Ra. I'm sorry."

"Just because I miss a father's affection, I'm willing to give whatever Mr. Andreas asks because he can give me what I need. I forget that as long as I live, Mama has given the best for me. Mama tried to be a mother and father for me so that I did not grow up to be a lonely child, but I destroyed everything. I'm stupid, Ra. Stupid."

...****************...

Dahayu muttered while continuing to stomp her feet on the asphalt. He was annoyed because until the sky had turned dark, Kinara still had not appeared. The campus was even quiet and as far as the eye could see, all Dahayu had encountered was emptiness.

"What kind of dead child? Say it for a while but until now it has not been nongol too!" gerutu Dahayu's.

Dahayu was about to swing her legs to leave the parking area and approach Kinara at the medical school building. Maybe the kid forgot his way home, right? Perhaps because of the many books he read, the boy became lost in the world he made himself in the head.

But just as she turned around, Dahayu squinted her eyes when she found Kinara walking from a distance. The girl was not alone, there was another girl figure walking hand in hand with her. Upon closer inspection, Dahayu found that the girl next to Kinara was Layla.

"Well, really looking for the disease of my friend that one." He muttered while shaking his head. And they all know that Layla's name is a hot conversation everywhere, but the innocent boy named Kinara Adorelia walked along with Layla as if they were old friends who would crash into the storm together.

Nagging after nagging still Dahayu lay, although the one who could hear the scolding was only himself and also the surrounding trees that swayed in the wind. Dahayu's lips can only be clenched when the figures of Kinara and Layla arrive before him.

Unlike earlier when he tasted not like the presence of Layla from a distance, now Dahayu showed an awkward smile because he did not want to look evil. After all, he was actually also sympathetic to Layla. It's just that he's not that vocal to show his sympathy.

"Well, we'll take Layla home first, yeah."

That's not a question. By God Dahayu sure it's not a question sentence. So instead of her wasting energy debating Kinara, Dahayu immediately opened the passenger section door in the back so Kinara and Layla could enter.

The two girls entered in turn. Then Dahayu closed the door slowly. As much as possible refrain from slamming the car door. First, because this is not the car. Second, he again did not want to look evil in front of Layla.

Dahayu then walked towards the driver's side. He sat down and immediately put on the seatbelt. Then he glanced at Kinara and Layla through the rearview mirror to ascertain whether the two people were already sitting safely or not.

After making sure they were all seated safely and comfortably, Dahayu started the engine. Before the gas pedal was stepped on, Dahayu unceasingly convinced himself to hold back his anger towards Kinara.

For now, let him hold back. Because later after they come home from delivering Layla, Dahayu will scold Kinara all out!
