"I know Mom and Dad won't punish me, but what about you?"
Mesya looked at David's face with a worried expression.
She didn't want to see David come out of the room with his face or other parts of his body covered in wounds.
"Long ago, Dad and Mom, often beat you, because of me, until I tried to maintain an attitude in front of you, so that you would not scold me, because even a little you caused trouble with me, Daddy will beat you, David, "
"Mesya,"
"Dav, I don't want them to hurt you again, moreover it's all because of me,"
"Mesya," David was still trying to calm Mesya.
"Perhaps, it would be better if I just died, David, because that way, you, would not receive punishment, and people would not die after disturbing me," said Mesya, who was now desperate again.
"No, Mesya. You can't do that, because you live are or dead, they will still kill people!" David insisted.
"But, Dav—"
"Mesya," David hugged his sister, "trust me if nothing will happen to me. I'm sure they won't beat me," said David.
Mesya still buried her face in David's arms. The hug was warm and so complete it felt like being hugged by a lover, as well as a brother herself.
From a distance Romi only looked at David and Mesya, he did not dare to approach them, of course, Romi was afraid that David would scold him.
"Are they hugging? That means Mesya and David's relationship has improved. I'm also happy to see it," Romi muttered. He doesn't know that Mesya and David's closeness is not just like sister and brother, but because they have also expressed their feelings for each other.
Romi still hasn't moved from his place, he is still looking at Mesya and David who are still hugging until a classmate arrives.
"Uh, Ugly Glasses!" said the boy while patting Romi's shoulder roughly.
"You must be jealous, right, because Beauty Mesya, is hugging with a guy?" asked the boy with a mocking face. Indeed, not many know that David and Mesya are brothers because all this time Mesya has wanted to keep her status as an adopted child of the Davies family a secret. Because she doesn't want people to criticize her like they used to.
"Edo, he's not my girlfriend, Mesya and I are just friends," Romi replied.
Then Romi left the boy named Edo.
However, the boy pulled Romi's shirt back by the collar.
"Where are you going? We haven't finished talking yet?" Edo said with a faint smile.
"Hey, please let me go!" said Romi.
"Wow, now you also dare to speak in a high tone huh?"
"I beg you, Edo. Please don't make trouble with me, I don't want to deal with anyone!" Romi said.
"Fine, I'll let you go but on one condition!" said Edo with a sly look.
"Come on, Edo, don't make trouble with me, I have much more important business than this," said Romi.
Of course, the bad boy didn't want to let Romi go. He instead calls his other friends to attack Romi.
"Come on, catch him!" said Edo.
Then his two friends held Romi's hand.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?! Why are you even blocking me!" asked Romi.
Edo approached and put his index finger on Romi's forehead.
"I told you, that I would let you go, but on one condition," he said in a low but very intimidating voice.
"What do you want from me?" asked Romi.
And happily, the boy named Edo mentioned his wish.
"Firstly, you must hand over your homework book to us, and secondly, you must also hand over your wallet to us," explained Edo.
"Why do you have to ask for my wallet? Are you the children of the poor?! Aren't all the students attending this place the children of the rich!?" Romi protested.
"You're so presumptuous huh! Even though I wasn't done talking just now!" said Edo while pulling Romi's hair.
"Ah! It hurts!" Romi shouted, "We'll just say what you want?!" Romi said. He couldn't stand it because his hair was pulled.
"Listen, Ugly Glasses! Besides I want those two things, I also want Mesya's phone number," explained Edo.
'Gosh, why did he have to ask for Mesya's cell phone number! If it's just a wallet, and a homework book, I can still understand it. but if it's Mesya's number, I can't give it,' Romi said in his heart.
"Eh, why are you daydreaming! You think I have this much time to wait for you!?" Edo snapped.
"Okay, Edo, I'll give you my homework book and the money in my wallet, but if it's Mesya's number, I can't give it to you!"
"Wow, dare to fight apparently!"
'Plaque!' Edo beat Romi, then his two friends also beat Romi, his voice was so noisy.
Buak! Buak!
Romi can't do anything until Arthur arrives.
"What is this?" Arthur asked with his trademark smile.
Edo and his friends stopped beating Romi.
"Wow, there's a hero, apparently," said Edo, glancing at Arthur.
"I know you're our senior, but you need to know Arthur, we've never been afraid of you, let alone seeing your whimsical behavior like a madman!" Edo ridiculed Arthur.
"Oh? I salute you and besides, I don't want to scare you, I just want to give Mesya's cellphone number to you," Arthur said as he took out his cellphone.
"You have Mesya's number?"
"Well, I do have the number, although not many know it, I am Mesya's old brother, right?" Arthur said.
"Is that true?" said Edo who still had some doubts about it.
"But, I did see you two going to and from school in the same car, I thought it was just a coincidence, so it turns out that you are all family?" asked Edo to make sure.
And Arthur nodded, "Can I give you your cell phone? I'll write down the number for you," Arthur asked.
Then Edo handed his cellphone to Arthur, then the handsome boy with the characteristic smile of his selengean wrote down Mesya's cellphone number in Edo's cellphone.
"I've recorded my sister's number for you, can you try calling her now?" said Arthur.
Then Edo obeyed, and it was true, if the number was connected, it could be seen from a distance that Mesya was busy picking up the call.
And after it was felt that Arthur was not lying, Edo closed his cellphone again.
The boy was very happy because he got what he wanted, it's just that he was still wondering why Arthur gave his sister's cellphone number, even though Arthur was the first to know him is have ugly attitude.
But Edo doesn't want to bother thinking that, the most important thing is that he already got Mesya's cellphone number.
