Courage And Self - Esteem
Episode 9

Viky's unsightly face.

“What's up? Your face looks sprained,” asked the big man wearing a black sling bag.

Rian. He is one of the famous rogues in SMP Nusantara, always judging the weak, and never once gave his sympathy to anyone. In addition, Rian is famous for a nickname, the Auman lion because his barite when shouting sounds like the roar of a lion. Rian is the leader of a gang at Junior High Nusantara. The students at that school had even felt the judgment from Rian and his group.

“Gue met with Junior High School Nusa Bangsa. Boss, I think the boy should be taught a lesson because he has dared to fight me,” reported Viky.

“So, you lose to the next Junior High?”

“It's not so, Boss. I was born the same child, but because the road is crowded, I do not want to be a spectacle of everyone.”

“Gue so curious as the child you mean,” said Rian filled with curiosity. “All of you, find the child Viky means. Challenge him to a duel with us,” Rian said with a grin.

“Ready, Boss!” answer all the members in Rian's group simultaneously.

When Adrian and his three subordinates—Rico, Sutra and Ikshan— were gathered in a shop in front of SMP Nusa Bangsa, a group of teenagers from the west stole the attention of the four. While Adrian was looking at one of the tall men in the front row, Rico, Putra and Ikshan looked at Adrian's facial expressions.

Rico, Putra and Ikshan, feel that Adrian knows one of the plotters who are heading towards them.

“Lo makes the same problem who?” ask the confused Rico. His forehead slowly shriveled, as well as his sudden heavy breath flow when he sighed.

“We'll see later,” Adrian said, as usual with a flat face.

Rico, Putra and Ikshan felt familiar with the group when it was close enough to where they were standing. What they were thinking was getting stronger as the group got closer.

A few feet from Adrian's group, Viky raises his hand as a sign to stop his friends' footsteps. The tall man stared intently at Adrian, then his eyeballs moved left and right towards Rico, Sutra and Ikshan.

“Lo!” Viky pointed at Adrian's face. “Gue never messes with words. Now, I'm proving the same. You still dare to be with me?”

Adrian lowered his gaze while smiling disdainfully, giggling slowly. “Not wrong? Those bitches want to fight me? I give you some advice, bring your boss here. I don't need to fight gibberish like you guys.”

Hearing the words of Adrian who seemed to be so underestimating Viky and his friends, Viky was provoked by the flames of emotion that gritted his teeth as a sign of impatience to attack Judah.

“Wait! I don't want to spend my energy on a piggyback like Elo. If you want, next time and bring boss lo!” firmly Adrian while pressing the tone of voice, staring back at Viky's face. The man was not daunted to challenge the gangs that even the news of their excitement had been spread until SMP Nusa Bangsa.

“Adri, lo don't mess with komplotan—"

“Gue is no joke. I'm serious about what I'm saying,” cut Adrian, no matter Rico's warning.

“Gue agrees with Rico, Dri. You shouldn't play that. I do not know what elo has done to make the Nusantara Junior High School plot so angry, but I ask you to apologize to them,” explained Rico with a feeling of worry.

“Ngak. I want their boss to come. I don't care if they're the number one gang in town or the world.” Adrian re-directed his net towards Viky and all his accomplices. “One more time, I repeat. If you want a duel with me, tell your boss to come. I don't have time to be clumsy like you guys.”

Adrian did not care about the angry faces in front of him, so he turned his body and stepped away to go home.
