IVONA: 1World 2Names
Chapter 119 Punishment For Jeany and Kelly
Jeany stared intently at Kevin who was still faithfully waiting for her. He saw the seriousness of the man about his words. Inwardly, she is now in turmoil about Ivona's advice and her ego.
Ivona's remarks were not wrong, he did realize if his grades and achievements dropped lately. He has also been aware of all his decline since he was with Kevin. The happiness that Kevin promised made him fall asleep, and forget the learning tasks that were always a burden for him. Now, as Ivona shifts her position, it only comes to her senses that she has lost what she used to be proud of because of her own ego.
"Darling, you're okay, right? you're not leaving me, are you?" said Kevin.
Jeany took Kevin's hand off. He stood up, with a shaky step, Jeany walked down the stairs. He wanted to be alone, as Ivona said he had to introspect himself. Kevin could do nothing but watch Jeany leave.
He had not yet reached the classroom, but a student called him. "Jeany, you're called to Mr. Patrick's room right now."
Despite questions in her heart, Jeany still stepped into the classroom. Apparently, there was already Mr. Harry and a woman he did not know about. There was Kelly there too, which surprised him even more was the arrival of his mother—Mistress Barbara Lim.
"Oh ... Jeany, come in" said Mr. Patrick as Jeany opened the classroom door.
Jeany looked down in fear as she stepped into her homeroom, but she sat down next to her mother.
"We wait for Ivona first" said Mr. Harry.
"Ivona?" inner Jeany. Is this related to what he just did to Ivona. Suddenly he remembered Kelly's earlier remarks about Joshua, Vaya and Roy. He did not want to suffer the same fate as them and ended up in prison. That crazy idea didn't come from him, but from Kevin, his toxic girlfriend.
Not long after Jeany entered, Ivona arrived. "Excuse me?"
"Ivona, come in." Mr. Harry invited.
Ivona came in and sat quietly in front of Mr. Harry.
"Alright, because everything has been gathered, we will begin to discuss the act of violating the rules that have been done by Kelly and Jeany. We've been asking Kelly for information about the stomach washer that Kelly had put in the juice that Ivona gave her before she entered the physics competition. However, when it was not Ivona who drank the juice, but Benny who drank it, until now Benny had to be hospitalized. For that reason Mrs Clarkson is here" explains Mr. Harry.
"Right, I don't accept my son being the victim of your delinquency. Do you think playing around with life is a joke, I want this school to do justice for Benny, my son," Clarkson said.
"What has Jeany done?" sahut Lady Barbara—ibu Jeany.
Jeany stared fearfully at her mother, her premonition very bad.
"So this is Miss Barbara, Jeany who gave Ivona the juice, even though the one who gave the medicine was Kelly. All they did was to thwart Ivona from being able to enter the competition" Mr Harry said.
Lady Barbara stared intently at her daughter. "What are you doing, after being a stupid kid, now you're learning to be a criminal? What are you, huh!"
"Mom, Jeany can explain everything." Jeany's tears had already broken, between fear and shame for her mother.
"So what's the school's decision for these two kids?" press Mrs Clarkson.
"After considering various aspects, the school will sanction Jeany and Kelly by making a statement for their wrongdoing and a one-week suspension" Mr Patrick replied.
"Well that's the punishment, why don't you just get them out of school, and I'll take the case to the police. Anyway, it's about my son's life. They must be taught a lesson to be deterred!" mr Clarkson said he did not accept.
"No Madam, don't do that, I beg you I still want to go to school, I can accept any punishment but don't report me to the police." Kelly cried, begging for forgiveness for his mistake.
Jeany stared at her mother, fearing her much more than the punishment she would receive from school. Jeany believes that this time, her mother will definitely hit her to the ground.
"I'm sorry Madam, I know my daughter is guilty but please give her a chance. Don't ruin his future by taking this case to the police." Mrs Barbara spoke.
"True, ma'am, these two children can still be taught a lesson so as not to repeat their actions, please give them a chance" Mr. Patrick said.
Mrs Clarkson still doesn't accept. He urged the school to give a heavier sentence that was worth their actions that could take the life of Benny, his son. During the debate, Ivona finally spoke up.
"I'm sorry, may I give you some advice?"
Everyone was silent and staring at Ivona.
"Ivona, what do you want to say?" ask Mr.Harry.
"I think we should give Kelly and Jeany a second chance. I know they are wrong, even the mistakes are fatal enough for a child our age, but there is no harm in giving them a chance to change. They'd be better off if we gave them a chance. Benny is fine. In the meantime, we'll graduate school, let them have a good future and life experience to get better" Ivona said.
Everyone seems to be considering Ivona's proposal. Finally the decision was taken by sanctioning them suspension and making a letter of apology, and the promise will no longer repeat the reprehensible actions.
After all agreeing with the decision taken, Jeany comes out following her mother. He was so sorry to embarrass his mother in this. "Bu ...," call Jeany. "I'm sorry, I."
Mrs Barbara stopped. He looked at Jeany who called him. "You know Jeany, why I'm so hard on you. I just want you to have a better fate than me. I want you to be the child I can be proud of with your intelligence, but it seems I mishandled you until you feel like everything I do is a burden to you. I'm sorry I was rude to you." After saying that sentence, Madam Barbara left Jeany just like that.
The girl began to digest the intent of her mother. During this time, Jeany turned a blind eye to her mother's goals, only seeing the violence her mother had done to her if she got a bad grade. Perhaps Mrs Barbara's goal is good for Jeany's future, but the assertiveness of the violence that he did became a mental burden for children of Jeany's age. Until Jeany is comfortable with the freedom she knows through Kevin, the girl is out of control. Begin to ignore the responsibility first, which is learning. And Mrs Barbara's good cause sank to the point that Jeany couldn't see, what was in the girl's eyes was only violence, not a good cause for her future.
"I promise, I'll change, Mom. I know now what your goal is, "it was inner Jeany who decided to go back to introspecting herself.
After Jeany and her mother, Kelly and Mrs Clarkson came out. The last one was Ivona. The girl came out after the others left.
"Iv," call William.
"You, what are you doing here?" ask Ivona.
"I was waiting for you from earlier. I want to talk to you."
Ivona. Actually what William wanted to say until the man was willing to wait for him in front of the teacher's room. Just then, when William wanted to invite Ivona to talk, someone suddenly told him that Ivona was called their homeroom teacher and told to come immediately, so that he did not have time to fulfill William's desire to talk together. It was unexpected that the man followed her and was willing to wait until Ivona's affairs were over.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Can we find another place?"
Ivona hasn't answered but the school bell was heard first. "I think we should go to class" said Ivona, then left William.
William was disappointed that the time waiting for him was in vain, he had not had time to speak to Ivona. William thinks later when he gets home from school, he'll ask Ivona for a minute. However, good luck has not sided with William because when Ivona came home from school he rushed out of class.
Ivona ran down the stairs with a backpack on her back. He can't wait to get home and meet Iswara's grandfather. Upon arriving at the parking lot, Ivona is confronted by two men in black suits.
"Good afternoon, Miss Ivona. Can you come with us?" said one of the men in the suit.
Ivona stared warily at those she did not know. "Who are you?"
"Miss will know if Miss is coming with us."
