The atmosphere of awkwardness and fear was visible on Andrea Mesya's face.
The two of them were still sitting on the bench located in the corridor of the school.
"Is that your excuse?" David asked Mesya.
"Yes, of course, it's true, why should I lie to you," answered Mesya.
"Alright, then your time is up, I'm leaving!" said David.
"Wait!" said Mesya.
"What again?"
"Still 30 seconds, David," said Mesya with a smile.
"Is there nothing else you want to ask?"
"Ah, yes, but what's wrong with getting to know each other better, we're brothers, right?" said Mesya.
"Then tell me honestly, what were you doing in that principal's office?" David insisted.
'Ah no! I should have just let it go, David went,' thought Mesya.
"Why are you silent?"
"Oh no, I already said that I have no important business with the Principal. And she just wants to get to know me better. I am a smart student at this school," said Mesya with an alibi.
"Okay then I'm going!" said David.
And this time Mesya didn't try to stop David, because she didn't want David to ask her again about Mrs. Lula.
Mesya is still staring at David's steps from behind, David looks very dashing and cool.
Mesya is very proud to be David's adopted sister, even though in reality David doesn't care about her.
He cares, but Mesya doesn't know, because David deliberately hides his care.
Every time he saw Mesya, David immediately thought of his late sister, Lizzy.
Lizzy is a beautiful and cheerful little girl who was forced to die because she was sacrificed by her uncle named Wijaya Diningrat.
The figure of a man who becomes a mortal enemy for his family.
David always tries to stay away from Mesya, because he doesn't want to see Mesya suffer the same fate as Lizzy.
Moreover, his family deliberately raised Mesya to destroy the Wijaya family.
By matching Mesya with Satria, Wijaya's son when grows up.
If Mesya succeeds, David and the others will be happy. But if Mesya fails and will be in danger and threaten her life, then of course it will destroy David again.
He didn't want to lose his little sister again like he used to.
Lizzy used to be very close to David, wherever they were always together.
It can even be said that Lizzy is very dependent on David, very spoiled, and whatever her brother wants, David always obeys.
When David first met Mesya, at that moment the image of Lizzy reappeared, a beautiful girl with a sweet smile in front of him, made his heart flutter, and the fear of losing reappeared.
That's when David tried his best to make Mesya not feel at home living with his family.
He always spoke curtly so that Mesya was hurt so that Mesya returned to the Orphanage again.
David hopes that Mesya will find good adoptive parents and let her live a normal life like other girls.
But all is not easy, Mesya remains in the Davies family because Mesya continues to be spoiled by other family members.
And his parents did not hesitate to beat David when they dared to hurt Mesya.
"David!"
He hears someone calling him.
Then David turned his head for a moment, and it was Salsa who called him.
"David, did you finish yesterday's math assignment?" asked Salsa.
"Do not bother me!" said David.
"David, I'm not bothering you, I wonder if your work is done?"
"Not yet!"
"Then my task is done, do you want to see mine?"
"No!"
"Why?"
David didn't answer.
"You know, I've always excelled in this class, and now I'm free to give you a cheat sheet!" said Salsa confidently.
Then David stopped his steps and looked at Salsa's face sharply.
"You think my brain is no longer working huh?" said David sarcastically.
"Erm... n-no, that's what I meant, Dav. But..."
"Keep your books and hurry up!" said David.
"But-"
"Fine, then let me go!"
Then the man left Salsa just like that.
And again, Salsa was ignored. A look of disappointment appeared on the beautiful girl's face.
"Huh, you were ignored again huh?" said Marry who suddenly appeared behind him.
"Oh my! Since when are you standing behind me?!" said a surprised Salsa. "You're just making people so shocked!"
"Haha! So stop it, Salsa! Don't chase that cold guy! You're beautiful, famous, and also a model! There are still many guys who want to be your girlfriend!" said Marry.
"Hah! You're talking like that again! I told you, I only liked David!"
"Hah! You Stupid Girl!" slurred Marry and then she left Salsa.
"Hey! Marry! Wait!" shouted Salsa.
"Too lazy to talk to a stupid girl like you!" murmured Marry.
***
The atmosphere at the school was deserted, all students and teaching staff had also returned to their respective homes.
But Lula was still in that place.
Lula was still working on some unfinished work.
Only living alone, Lula seemed to be fiddling with the cursor on the monitor screen, while typing on her computer keyboard.
"Ah, just a little longer, after this I will go home," said the woman.
But from behind the glass directly in front of her, Lula felt like there was a flash of shadow.
For a moment she looked out the window.
"Ah, I must have seen it wrong, it's also called a hungry stomach," said Lula.
Then she turned her attention back to her computer.
Gludak!
The sound of something falling from the direction of the library.
Lula stopped her typing fingers, then she stood up and walked over to see what had fallen.
Lula was walking around the library room and she found a cardboard box filled with books that had fallen on the floor.
"Oh my God, why did it fall like this?" said Lula.
Lula tidied up the books and put them back in the box.
"You librarian, irresponsible! He should put things right! So as not to fall like this!" raved Lula.
Then suddenly while she was busy tidying up her books, someone covered her face with black plastic.
"Emm! Please... Hmmm...." shouted Lula, who seemed to have difficulty making a sound because her head was still in the plastic bag.
Her body felt like someone was dragging her roughly, Lula was in so much pain and was struggling.
Her whole body ached and ached, especially in her legs from the scratches on the floor and the objects she passed.
Lula couldn't help but surrender because she couldn't fight the strength of someone who wrapped her head and pulled her body so tightly.
