The rest bell just rang. Diba slid his head between the hands he had folded on the table. His head feels heavy at this moment.
"Di, want to nitip something?"
"Mineral water only"
Amel nodded and headed towards the canteen. Diba never set foot again in the cafeteria after he became Arkan's bullyan material. It was too painful he thought he heard sharp whispers from some of the students of Arkan fans.
The crisp atmosphere of the class turned quiet instantly. Diba who felt strange was looking up his head, how surprised he was when he found Zaki now in front of him.
"Zaki's"
Zaki smiled gently and stroked Diba's head. While the girl reflexively keeps her head away when she feels a swipe being poked at her head.
"A-what's up?"
Ah really Diba feels wast right now. Because usually where there is Zaki then there is Arkan and Arsen. The girl circulated her gaze throughout the entire classroom, but all she got was the class students staring at her in disbelief. Almost all the schoolgirls held their breaths as Zaki cupped Diba's cheeks, directing the girl to look at him.
"I myself. There's no 'he' with me right now"
The two looked at each other. As if looking for something behind each other. To be honest, Diba was confused by what was happening right now. How not, Zaki one of the most wanted schools suddenly stood before him, cupped his cheeks, and stared at him so intensely. God, his heart really can't calm down in there. His heart was so fast that he felt pain and other sensations that he had difficulty explaining.
"Diba"
I don't know since when Zaki's voice was so melodious in his ears when he mentioned his name.
"At"
"Y-Yes"
"Aadiba"
Diba frowned, it seemed like Zaki did not hear him answer.
"Yes Zaki"
"He woke. Let's getup-".
"WAKE WOY"
Diba jerks. Immediately he straightened his body and wildly searched for Zaki's whereabouts. But all he got was Amel and an empty class. He breathed and smiled a little.
"You're sick"
"No"
"Your face redoubts"
Diba cupped his own cheeks that felt warm. His memory returned to the events in his dream just now.
Amel looked at him in a glance, at once confused by what happened to this friend.
"You okay?"
"Ah yes. I'm going to the toilet first"
Diba tried his hardest to get out of Amel's presence. His steps grew slower as he moved away from the class where Amel was. He cursed his reddened face just for remembering his fleeting dream. Really beautiful dreams.
A knot smile continued to be imprinted along the corridor to the toilet, his brain just kept turning the events in the dream without pause. Ah looks like he's going crazy, or crazy about Zaki. I don't know.
A strong pull on his left shoulder led him to take a few steps back making his back hit the wall hard. And don't forget her forced foot stepped quickly. Diba grimaced with pain in his legs and back, as well as the shoulders being pressed so strongly. Diba lowered his head looking at the dark netra looking back at him sharply. And of course the views of the students who witnessed them. Ah more precisely see Adiba who is soon suffering.
"You're ignoring me?"
Diba just groped slowly.
"You didn't respond to my call"
Diba who is still silent makes angers. She squeezed her shoulders a little stronger, while the girl only bit her inner lips.
"I-I didn't hear you"
Arkan took his hand off Diba's shoulder. He stared for a while after, smiling at her.
"Follow me"
Diba nodded then followed Arkan who was walking quickly in front of him. With all his might he tried to equalize the big steps of arkan who was now turning into the canteen. The entire canteen was now staring at the two questioningly. Arkan who never appeared in the cafeteria now enters the cafeteria, plus the girl he always bully follows him. But their confusion was answered already when Arkan gave a tray of 3 juices and dishes containing fried rice to Diba. While he himself carries a frictional bag containing snacks.
Both of them came out of the canteen, Diba really did not think, how could Arkan give him a heavy tray with the condition of his hands and feet are injured. And Diba was even more surprised to see Arkan climbing the stairs at this time. How could he possibly climb the stairs now, without bringing anything Adiba had trouble climbing up and down the stairs, what more now with a full tray. If the bell is just a little then the contents of the tray will be splattered on the floor of the stairs. And he can guarantee that Arkan won't like it.
"Hurry up"
He gulped, he said a prayer as he set foot on the first step of the ladder. I want Diba to say Arkan is crazy right now. The first rung of stairs was successfully conquered. There are only dozens of stairs he might climb.
Step by step Diba took with heart. The pain in his leg he held on with all his might until he finally managed to step on the floor Rooftop safely. Diba screamed in his heart. Arkan really crazy. 4 floors should he pass with this situation. Even Diba could feel his shoes that now felt moist and his head began to throb.
Arkan opened the Rooftop door and showed 2 young men talking on the side of the floor, unaware of the arrival of the two. Until finally Arsen turned his gaze when a crackle landed next to him. He found his twin and someone approaching them.
"Aadiba"
Zaki twisted his body when he heard that name in Arsen's murmur. Diba slightly smiled and bowed his head. Arsen instantly took over the tray that Diba was carrying when he realized the girl's steps were dragging her feet a little.
"You all right?"
Diba shook his head slowly.
Zaki got up and approached Diba, he pulled Diba's hand in bandage.
"What happened to your hand?"
"Ha-just scratched"
"How can you?"
New Diba will answer, but Arsen first asked.
"What happened to your feet?"
Zaki knelt before him.
"Let me see"
Diba who was shocked stepped back before Zaki's hand grabbed his leg. But unfortunately, he accidentally stepped on a large pebble right on his left foot, making him lose his balance and fall sitting in front of Zaki. Zaki immediately got up and got closer to Diba. Arsen also approached the two.
"You okay?"
"Yes I'm ba-sstt"
He grimaced as he tried to stand up. Zaki held back Diba's movements, telling the girl to stay in her position. Zaki opened the right shoe that Diba was wearing.
"The left is stupid. You didn't see the step?"
Arsen hit Zaki's head in anxiety. Zaki only stared at Arsen for a moment, and immediately opened Diba's left shoe. Both of them were surprised to see the sole of the white socks that were worn at the back was now in deep red. Guess what if not a little blood that has come out of the soles of the feet.
"What's going on? How can it be like this?"
Screeches Arsen made Arkan curious. The young man moved closer, but he had not seen what happened Zaki had already turned around and clutched Arkan's collar.
"What did you do to make it like that?"
Arkan raised his eyebrows. He glanced at the girl sitting on the dirty floor of the Rooftop, and raised her shoulders indifferently.
"It's not Arkan's fault. I just had a little accident at home. It has nothing to do with Arkan"
Diba tries to explain to Zaki not to misunderstand.
"At home?"
Diba nodded confirming Arsen's speech.
"Aren't you supposed to know? But why are you still telling him to climb the STUPID stairs"
Zaki really looks angry, he clutches the collar of Arkan's uniform tightly. Arkan just stared at Zaki flatly. Diba who can only bow his head and Arsen who sighed saw the behavior of the two.
"From fighting it's better to take Diba to the UKS or the hospital"
Lantang Arsen stared at the two young men who were so close to him. He turned his gaze to look at Diba while muttering.
"You can't be stupid anywhere else"
Diba who was surprised by Zaki reflex action wrapped his hands around the neck of the youth level.
"Za-zaki! I can still walk"
"With your feet like this?"
Diba bowed his head not answering Zaki's question. He just pressed his hand. Afraid to see Zaki who just straightened his gaze with his jaw still hardened.
"sorry"
Zaki only listened to the girl's squeaks in his lap, still focusing on the stairs he was leaning on.
"I'm sorry for bothering you"
"By you"
Diba looks up to Zaki from below. Strict jaw, big nose, pale pink lips, thick eyebrows and yes! Maybe God was happy when he created this one servant.
"Huh yeah?"
Zaki paused for a moment. He softened his gaze while staring at the pretty face on his lap.
"You're troubling yourself, you know that?"
A faint smile rose on his lips when he saw the puzzled look of Diba. He walked back down every step of the stairs.
"If you can't avoid Arkan at school, at least stay home until you're okay"
"I'm fine"
"Then what is this wound? The embellishments? Hm"
"It's just a small wound, I can handle it"
"And you actually let it bleed"
"That's it, I didn't realize it"
"That means you can't handle it"
He was silent, he did not answer Zaki's words because it was true. He can't handle himself yet. And also because now Zaki began to walk in the hallway which is still crowded because the doorbell has not rang. Diba tightened his embrace on Zaki's neck and put his face on the chest of the young man who was carrying him. She was really embarrassed because some students were talking about Zaki holding a schoolgirl who was none other than Adiba Selina.
"Where are you taking me?"
"The hospital"
"That's overkill"
"Seeing your wounds like this? I don't think so"
"But-"
"I don't accept the lady's refusal"
Zaki was holding Diba in the front passenger seat of an Arkan car. After closing the door he immediately turned around the car and sat in the driver's seat, positioning himself to turn on the car's engine and plug in the gas. Splitting through the city street.
-
Arkan and Arsen only miss Zaki and Diba who have disappeared from both views. As Arsen walked closer to Arkan, he patted his twin brother on the shoulder.
"I think that's outrageous?"
Arkan raised his eyebrows.
"Aren't I used to treating her like that? I don't know his wound anyway"
"Didn't you see his limp walk?"
"What care?"
"Stop acting like this Arkan. They're different, you know that"
Arkan threw his face away while screeched. Arsen walked to the edge of the floor and sat in his place. He looked at Arkan's back.
"I just don't want you to regret it later. What's more seeing Zaki who doesn't play with his words"
Arkan turned around, folded his hands in front of his chest and raised his eyebrows.
"What do I care"
Arsen smiled and nodded his head.
"You're right. You don't care"
Arsen chuckled slightly and looked back at Arkan straight.
"I care about it. Because I like it too"
Still in a calm state, Arkan returned Arsen's gaze no less cold. I don't know what the two are thinking. But if you look at the eyes of both. It's not a fun thing.
-
Diba stared at the parcel in his lap, turning to look at Arsen who was sitting on the soffa next to him.
"What's this?"
"Look at it"
Diba opened his bag and took out a box from inside. He was surprised to find out what the box was.
"This?"
"wear. So I can easily contact you"
"But this must be very expensive. I can't possibly pay for it"
Arsen linked his Eyebrows looking at Diba who was still in disbelief.
"I bought you this phone. Not wanting to sell it to you. Wear it, no rejection."
Diba smiled sincerely. He really does not believe he can live with a very good family to him, minus with Arkan of course.
"Try wearing. I've put my phone number, Dad, Mommy, Arkan, and Cindy into it"
"If Zaki?"
"You want it?"
Diba nodded enthusiastically.
"Well I'll put it in"
Arsen took over the handpone box from Diba's hand, he pulled out the phone inside and started to get busy tinkering.
"Where are your legs?"
"Okay, Zaki took me to the hospital. The doctor said the wound was not too severe it was likely that one week had also recovered, but temporarily had to use a cane to walk so as not to put a burden on the wound"
Arsen gave the phone back to Diba. Diba gladly accepted it.
"I'm sorry for Arkan's bad attitude towards you. I know he's outrageous"
Diba shook his head still smiling.
"It's okay. Arkan doesn't know about my wounds"
Arsen smiled looking at Diba who was busy with his new phone. He never thought if there was a human as good as this even though it was always treated badly by others. Arkan will regret that he hurt and wasted such a good girl just because of his time with another girl. It is unfair for Diba who does not know what but has to bear everything.
"Defend ya"
Diba looked at Arsen who was rubbing his head innocently.
"mm?"
"Defend to face Arkan, I'm sure one day he'll change for you and for you"
"As long as I stay here I'll try"
