Bright Morning

That morning, Azalea woke up cheerfully. The energy feels full. He had breakfast happily. The journey to the school is acknowledged by foot, as if not feeling at all. Unlike normal days, it feels heavy. Today, everything is so light lived.

Azalea was changing into a uniform in sportswear when her classmate invited her to speak.

"Lea, you really don't know about Mona?"

Instantly, Azalea stopped her movement who was tidying up her sports jerseys. He looked, then shook weakly. Azalea should have remembered to ask Reynand about Mona's problem. Wasn't that guy a teacher at his school? Like a bright lamp on his head, Azalea hit him on the head.

Why think now after so many days he lost track of his best friend?

Azalea hurried to put on her uniform, then left her gawking friend. He wants to get to the field quickly. Azalea can't wait to end every hour of class today.

The Azalea Road slowed down to see who was on the field. Don't tell me that Reynand has become a sports teacher after yesterday as a teacher of mathematics, English and other subjects. Has that guy taken over all the subjects?

"Lea, spout!"

The cry from his classmates made Azalea again continue her steps. He ran to get there quickly.

"Hopefully Mr. Reynand really become a sports teacher, replace Mr. Hadi."

The whispers of the neighbors disturbed him. Azalea stared intently at the man who was now holding the basketball while explaining today's lesson.

Yes, Azalea admitted that Reynand did have a very handsome face. In this school, nothing compares to the man's good looks. Azalea was proud of that. Until, unconsciously, a smile appeared on his face.

"You go forward!"

The words shook Azalea's consciousness. He looked left and right, confirming to whom Reynand was speaking. However, all the gazes of the disciples were on him. He grimaced in embarrassment, then looked ahead. Reynand's gaze was still straight on him.

With doubt, Azalea stepped forward. He stepped in slow motion.

"You haven't had breakfast?" reynand asked with a scrabbling look.

"Already, sir." Azalea ran over and approached Reynand, who was waiting.

"good. I'll show you how to hold the right ball." Reynand gave the basketball to Azalea. "It's your punishment for daydreaming a lot in my lessons" he said, confirming Azalea's two hands holding the ball.

Then, Reynand turned to the students who were watching him. "Who wants to be punished again?" He asked a prank.

"I!" exclaiming the female students simultaneously with index finger pointing into the air.

Meanwhile, the male students were smiling wryly. Among them there is not a single person who can defeat the charm of a Reynand.

"Well, I'm so happy. It turns out you willingly want to be punished. Wait after Azalea's movements are correct." Reynand said casually.

Furthermore, Reynand was busy explaining while demonstrating directly to Azalea. For a moment, he felt that time had stopped for a moment. He even forgot that he was in the middle of the field with the attention of all students in one class. Until, when the ball that Azalea was holding suddenly rolled out of the field.

"You understand, sir." Azalea spoke loudly with a clumsy expression. As much as he could, he covered his heart. The girl didn't want them to be suspected by her friends.

"Oh yes." Reynand ran away and caught a ball taken by one of the male students. Then, while turning the ball in hand, Reynand continued his sentence, "It's time to punish you."

As his gaze turned to the field, Azalea let out a laugh. In the field, the female students were running. They grumbled, saying that his sports teacher was unfair in giving the punishment.

Meanwhile, the male students seemed to be engrossed in playing basketball. They don't care what happens to the students.

"Don't be a girl" chirped one of the male students sitting next to Azalea. The man took a break to drink.

"Reynand, do I have to ask you a question?" Azalea stared at the handsome face that was eating dinner.

Reynand ordered the food when they arrived at the apartment. Today, the man's energy was quite drained. Teaching lessons by sports is enough to spend energy considering that some of these weeks he rarely does the physical activity.

"What do you want to ask?" Reynand swallowed the chew into his mouth, then drank a glass of water in the glass.

Both of them looked in silence. Reynand waited for the question that the girl in front of him, while the girl was weighing what was the right sentence. Azalea was in a state of confusion now.

"Tell me. I will answer all the questions you ask, Azalea," Reynand continued, saying a sentence that convinced Azalea.

"What ... have you heard about sexual harassment in school? It's been a month since you were assigned grandfather, right?" Azalea asked carefully.

Reynand nodded in recitation of Azalea's words while muttering softly. "One of the victims is in self-imposed exile. He's still scared and hard to find."

For some reason, Azalea's heart was beating violently. He did not want his mind to be right, but he could not dispel the bad thoughts.

With a trembling voice, Azalea asked, "Is ...is one of the victims Mona?" Azalea's eyes were filled with clear glass that obscured the view. "Mona my best friend ...."

Azalea groaned sadly, and .. that second also her tears flowed profusely. His hands clenched on the table.

"I'll reveal everything. Trust me." Reynand said sure. He clasped Azalea's tightly clenched hand.

Reynand could feel the sadness Azalea felt. He was determined to immediately turn up more evidence so that the case was resolved soon.

"What should I do? I want to help." Azalea's voice was hoarse, but there was confidence in it. He welcomed the grasp Reynand gave him. The hand that strengthened his soul.

"You just have to be careful. Must be on guard. If anything suspicious call me immediately." Reynand cupped Azalea's hands with both of hers. For God's sake! He didn't want anything to happen to this little girl.

"I want to do more than that." Azalea rubbed the rough wet traces on her face. He pulled his hand from Reynand. However, the man did not let his hand slip.

"OKAY. You help me see as little as anything that happens with your classmate-"

"But-"

"The scope is indeed from a small one first. Make sure that your classmates are not the next victim. You want to, right?" reynand made sure.

"alright. I concur. I'll make sure to pay attention to every detail that goes on in the classroom and report it to you." Azalea nodded steadily.

Immediately, a smile rose on Reynand's face. He thought that the girl in front of him had no courage. Apparently, behind his shy attitude, Azalea was a brave figure.
