A Story Of LIA
TWO NINE

..."If I'm wrong, I'll accept the punishment. But honestly, I can't apologize to them because my heart and logic feel not wrong”...

Lia who is now walking fast which when seen from the direction of Retno knows he is heading towards the teacher's room.

“Liaaa, be patient, wait for me” said Retno. while speeding up her footsteps as well.

His tears did not stop coming out, the two people closest to him were fighting just because of a trivial thing that could possibly be solved easily and not extended like this.

The atmosphere of the teacher's roar was so silent that maybe even the sound of a needle falling would be heard by anyone.

Andy, Harry and several other upperclassmen bowed wrong in front of Rita's mother.

But it looks like a face withstanding the pain experienced by the upperclassmen, starting from Andy who suffered a wound on the lip and bruise on his face, he said, several other upperclassmen held onto parts of his arms and shoulders that might have been dislocated due to the movements they received.

Lia entered the teacher's room, but was blocked by Mr. Insap and asked him to wait outside.

he and Retno could only see through the window of the Master's room.

Ms. Rita still held the 100 cm long wooden ruler and stood up after perhaps her emotions had eased somewhat. However, Liza's mother who went in and stood in front of Harry slapped him hard until blood was seen on his teeth.

“The self you learned, not to hurt your friend or upperclassman!” sentak bu Liza's.

But Harry, who knows the character and character of Liza, only needs to be silent without much reason, because what is said by Liza, there is a point.

A fist landed on Harry's stomach without him preparing his breath to be too painful, which made him grimace a little and hold his stomach.

"Pushup" Liza's orders to punish Harry.

"Don't stop until I say stop" snapped Liza's mom.

Andy and the other upperclassmen smiled cynically, seeing only Harry being punished and feeling they were right.

"This big new boy does not understand the existing system in Indonesia that he who has money who becomes King" whispered one of the students.

Seeing the attitude of the upperclassmen so that Rita rose blood and hit the legs of the upperclassman one by one until Andy the ruler was broken.

Shortly after that some parents who were fighting began to come including Andy's parents who were indeed one of the legislators in this city.

Harry and Andy are taken to the principal's room for follow-up, but none of the parents accompany Harry.

It has been five minutes that Harry stood with his head bowed to the gimmick and argumentative speech of Andy's parents to make Harry not wonder why he could become a member of the legislature. His hands were sore, his cheeks were numb and his stomach was still painful due to the blow of Liza's mother, the wife of the person who taught him martial arts.

There was a knock on the door from Harry's right.

“Excuse me, I am the guardian of Harry” said a voice that is familiar to Harry. The headmaster accepted him, and asked him to sit among them.

Practically the only students left behind were Harry and Andy.

“Kakek” said with a look full of pity.

But it was returned with a smile by his grandfather, and a second later an annoyed look that made Harry reflexively smile like a grandson who asked for protection to his grandfather.

There was an aura of tension between each of the student guardians.

Again, Andy's parents diplomatically reassured the principal that Harry's actions should be severely punished.

And Andy just smiled as if he had won this meeting with the defense of exhaustion including the achievement that has been given to the school.

Harry was getting hotter but kept his grandfather's spirit and remained submissive.

“What's your reason for getting your fist out?” ask the grandfather slowly, full of authority.

“I saw a girl who is also my close friend, forced to follow her unwanted circle” her grandfather's face was astonished as if asking for more reasons.

“ And I didn't like that, so I invited the woman to talk for a while, but she seemed unhappy and started pushing me.” Obviously that incident.

“I tried to hold back my emotions, but instead he kept pushing me up three times and punched me” continued Harry.

“It made me unable to hold back my emotions anymore, so I replied, then another upperclassman instead tried to gang up on me, but I dodged and tried to defend myself.” Harry said with a serious expression recalling the incident earlier.

“He shouldn't have treated someone like that" he said, beginning to calm down,

"if I'm wrong, I'll accept the punishment, but honestly, I can't apologize to them because my heart and logic don't feel wrong.

“True that son ?” ask Andy.

“No cake, he who hit diluan” said Andy, lying convincingly, explaining at length the incident was as real and logical as possible, so that makes the grandfather just smile to see it.

“Tak wonder, some say that the fruit fell not far from the tree” said grandfather smiled cunningly.

The headmaster and Andy's father who heard and saw Grandpa's expression immediately changed his sitting position.

“I know this boy you accuse of since he was 5 years old, he lives with me and I know his character outside and in”.

“I don't think it's fair only He was given the punishment for this” replied grandfather with great authority. The headmaster is stunned, and his father Andy again defends his son and convinces the principal again.

Shortly after, Lia was called to explain what happened. However, Lia was just crying and said many did not know trying to secure her.

Harry only smiled a little unexpectedly, but he was grateful, so Lia would not be rubbed for this incident.

In the end the day had started late afternoon and grandfather had come home with him.

With an unexpected look and a little disappointed, but still trying to smile at Harry.

Harry received a 1-week suspension.

But the only one who got this suspension was Harry. Andy and his other friends, just wrote an apology and got another light sentence.

Harry was also asked to make an agreement if again making trouble would be expelled from school.

This punishment made grandfather feel dissatisfied and a little annoyed. The journey until reaching the grandfather's house was silent.

Shortly after, with his bag looking quite long, Harry knew, it was his fishing bag.

“Let's come with grandpa”, Harry can't say much and come with him behind.

He picked up his bike at the back of the house, he took Harry on the bike and went to a river and fed Harry and fished with him.

It tells the story of much of his youth with Harry's biological grandfather, and explains the reason why he was sent from childhood and asked to live with him.

"Your grandfather felt He failed to educate your father, so He asked me to educate you not to be like your Father."

"Thank God, it convinced me that you weren't like your father" Grandfather said, smiling sincerely at Harry.

Once more. Harry could not hold back his tears and cried in front of the grandfather.
