Ayrisa And Her Story
Ayrisa¹¹ - Biggest Fear

Ayrisa entered the English speech competition last Thursday smoothly. Yeah, even if he doesn't really expect to win. He was very grateful to Aspen who was willing to help him prepare himself and the script of his speech. Therefore, now he was going down the stairs with Mia beside him to head towards the side field. He will watch the basketball game today as he promised Aspen.

Aspen will play with his friends. That's what Ayrisa learned from Mia when she asked about Gisnandi High School basketball team.

Arriving at the field, the situation was crowded with students who wanted to watch the match.

Most are female students who seem to be attracted to players on the Gisnandi High School basketball team because they have an irresistible face. Ayrisa and Mia had trouble finding a seat on the stands.

"Airishah!"

Sounded someone calling her name, making Ayrisa look back—direction of the source of the voice. Mia also looked around. It turned out that Ilham called out to Ayrisa, there was also Farzi who stood beside the man as usual. The two of them will never be separated.

"Lo find a seat, right? Together with us, the others are ready for a place," said Ilham. Ayrisa thought for a moment before finally nodding.

It turns out that it is true, friends Ilham and Farzi have left the place. Ayrisa and Mia had not paid much attention to the part in the stands. Eventually the two of them joined among the male students. Actually not only were they female students there, there were some as well, but were busy doing live broadcasts.

Although Ilham and Farzi's friends are certainly male students from the IPS department who are usually famous for their delinquency, but Ayrisa who had several times interacted with them a little, know that male students from the IPS department do not always have to be labeled naughty or recalcitrant. The proof is, they are also solid people and of course good. Ayrisa once laughed when one of them threw a joke.

Yes, in their countless interactions, Ayrisa always felt like she was accepted and seen as she was. They don't care about their gender, their looks or their abilities.

Still Ayrisa vividly remembered when Ilham and Farzi approached her who was waiting for an invitation alone. At that time his friends also came, then sat not far from him. Not long after that they threw jokes at each other, and invited Ayrisa to get involved, even if it was just a laugh and a short response. Together they make Ayrisa feel back what pleasure is when being among many people. There is no fear.

However, Mia was different from Ayrisa who was now relaxed just sitting near the men. Almost a year of dating Gana makes Mia very know that her boyfriend does not like to see or know he is in close proximity to a man. A slightly possessive Gana plus a poor emotional controller is a very, very bad mix.

Therefore, Mia tried not to get too close to Farzi— whom she knew as a friend of Ayrisa.

Not long after that the basketball game began. Who plays for Gisnandi High School is indeed Gana and her friends.

Ayrisa did not pay much attention to the match, he only occasionally noticed Aspen when the man had the ball.

When the man has the ball, it is certain that the score for Gisnandi High School will increase.

Until finally the Gisnandi High School won with a five-point lead. The completion of the match did not make the students instantly disperse. Most female students are still faithfully sitting there to satisfy themselves to see the handsome level of players from Gisnandi High School. Mia herself who is Gana's boyfriend, approached the man who was already on the sidelines. He runs his girlfriend's request to give her a drink once the match is over.

Since there was nothing she needed to do there, Ayrisa immediately moved on. The plan is to return to class.

The condition of the school corridor is quite quiet because the students are in the field, both Agnandis High School and Gisnandi High School. Just about to turn to climb the stairs, Ayrisa was greeted by a bucket of cold water—even there is still ice that has not completely melted—which directly wet it.

"Lo's dog, plain pretentious for the soldiers' children."

A female student wearing a Gisnandi High School uniform stands haughtily in front of Ayrisa. Behind him were two other female students who seemed to be in charge of overseeing the surrounding situation.

Ayrisa's standing body, was trembling in place. Cold and fear enveloped him.

"Why silence? Afraid? What a hypocrite you are!" Nisla, the female student, pushed Ayrisa down the stairs.

"Lo's weak, it's just been crying." Nisla again made a mockery, ignoring Ayrisa's deteriorating situation. "Nobody will come to nolongin lo. So, do not have much hope that you will survive," he said as he grabbed Ayrisa's hair until his head looked up.

"I'm so sick of how many days I've seen your dog's innocent snobs in front of them."

The girl sitting on the steps looked chaotic with tears drenching her face, fearing even with a trembling body.

"Ja—don't .. pain …." Ayrisa let out a soft voice, her head shaking slowly. All those shadows revolved in his mind like broken tapes, making his body even more trembling.

"The other one!" Nisla told her two friends. One of them, named Jani, immediately handed him another bucket of cold water. This time the amount of ice in the bucket was more, filling almost a quarter of the bucket.

Within seconds the contents of the bucket had flushed Ayrisa's body. There was laughter from the three students.

"That's the result if you still want to sneak in the child of Soldier. What a plain sock lo, jal*ng!"

Now everything became blurry in Ayrisa's sight. The black dots began to vie to meet his vision. The tightness in his chest made it difficult for him to breathe air.

Ayrisa did not want to be weak like this. However, in the end he fell down on the steps of the stairs.

He fainted.

...··...

Her vegetables heard a voice. Not long after that he felt a hand gently stroke his head. Slowly he forced his eyelids to open. The first to greet him when opening his eyes was the boring white ceiling of the room and the bright light from the lights.

"Ay, are you conscious?" Nefra exclaimed softly then pressed the button that was near the head of the bed.

"K—hak ...." Ayrisa tried to call Nephra, but her voice did not come out. It made fear back to cover him.

Nephra immediately approached, then took the glass that was on the side nightstand. He brought the straw closer to Ayrisa's lips which was quickly received. The girl drank quickly, her throat was completely dry, like not drinking for days. Yes, even if it is like that.

Ayrisa was unconscious for nearly three days in the hospital after Mia, Gana and the others found the girl lying on the steps. He was immediately rushed to the hospital after being found, fortunately they were not too late.

The doctor said Ayrisa had hypothermia and had a panic attack before collapsing.

Three of the perpetrators were detained by Oska, Kion, Alnan and Viran when they were about to escape after being caught from CCTV. They were immediately taken to the school because of their actions that have hurt and harmed others.

"What else is it, Ay?" Ayris shook her head slowly to answer the question.

The next second heard the ringing of the cell phone from Nefra's pocket. When Nefra pulled the phone out of her pocket, Ayrisa recognized it very well, because it was hers.

"Who?" ayrisa asked as she changed her position to sit down slowly.

"Ro." Reylin."

"Let me, Brother Nef out." Nefra, according to her, handed her the phone and then walked out of the room.

After the door closed, Ayrisa immediately received a call from Reylin.

"Ac ...."

"Re, they're evil!" he said with a soft voice. Then followed by the emergence of heart-wrenching sobbing.

Across the street, Reylin, who knew Ayrisa from Nefra, was sad. His eyes glazed over, unable to imagine how evil the men were to Ayrisa.

Inwardly keep asking, is it wrong if Ayrisa tries to make friends? They don't even know a damn thing about the girl. I don't know what the real girl is. Their greedy selfishness was so nauseating that it made others hurt. Brengs*k, he thought.

The thing he cursed the most was that he was not there to always accompany and protect Ayrisa. What kind of friend is he? Reylin cursed in his heart.

"What if I have no hope? I can't be strong, Re. I'm .. always weak." Ayrisa spoke in between her tears.

He's really scared. Afraid of being shunned because again he became weak like this.

"Ay, horrify me. All this time it was strong. With you who still survive to this day, it's proof that you are strong. You're not weak, Ay. Weak someone does not make it a reason to be shunned. Don't think about it."

"But I'm scared, Re. They even say I'm weak."

"Don't beat them, you know?! They're just brengs*k people who don't know anything. Just fuck*ck them off."

"Why am I not afraid that what they say is true? Weak-headed. All this time I was that naive, Re .. hiks."

"Well, do I need permission to go there and give you a hug?"

"No need, Re, I don't want to take care of you."

"Lo never took a shot of nicotine at all."

I heard a heavy breath from across there. Ayrisa knew that Reylin was wiping her nose now for fear, the girl's habit.

"Lo knows, right, that there are still a lot of people who care on your side. Honestly with them, do not just to me with Mother. There is Sister Nefra who is also very fond of you. He might think you're not nagging him."

"But I'm not ready if Brother Nef knows."

"Okay, take your time then. You still have plenty of time to prepare yourself. Promise me that the day will come."

Finally Ayrisa nodded slowly. Realizing that Reylin could not see him, he retaliated. "Yes, Re."

"Good, if there is anything you immediately contact Nephra, or shout as loud as possible. You gotta be brave, Ay." Again Ayrisa nodded obediently. "Lo should be able to make yourself."

After saying a few words, their phone call was terminated. Nephra went back into the room. The man approached the bed where his sister was. After standing beside her, she immediately hugged Ayrisa tightly.

Nephra heard everything from the outside, and again he felt like a fool who knew nothing. Just like years ago. He could only hug his sister's fragile body while putting light kisses on the top of Ayrisa's head.

"I'll be here, okay? If you need anything, tell me. You know I love you, don't you?"
