Mr. Bully
When The Party is Over - Billie Eilish

A week after that the relationship between Varo and Arini ran aground. Arini, who still holds dear to Varo, tries to do everything she can to take the boy's heart. But Varo did not budge at all, he just got away. Even though Sandra who just arrived yesterday afternoon tried to mediate, did not make the relationship between Varo and Arini improve.

Arini was frustrated, he was out of his mind. Sometimes Varo still talks to him, but only as necessary. The boundaries made by the man were more clearly visible, he behaved like a stranger who had first known Arini. Arini's sad cry when pouring out her heart made Sandra grow furious, but could not help much.

Sandra's known Varo since High School. He knew very well, conquering Varo was tantamount to melting frozen ice. Varo is not the type to come because of pity on the cries, the guy doesn't care. Varo will come when he wants to, and it makes Sandra frown when she hears Ete's story about Varo and Olivia's relationship based on her observations.

“Gue curious, want to know what Olivia kayak face. How beautiful can you make an Alvaro Wijaya crazy?” sandra said one hot afternoon while in Ete and Arini's room. Since yesterday Sandra has not met Olivia, she only heard the description of Ete who felt too hyperbole.

Where is that perfect girl? inner Sandra was skeptical.

“Cakep San, I'm interested. If I'm a guy, I've brushed” replied Ete slowly afraid to be heard Arini from inside the bathroom.

“He works in cafe?”

“Cuman help-help, his cousin fiancee of the owner of this inn. Lecture in England”

“Oh pantes, like belagu ya” reply Sandra pretentiously folded her hands staring at the cafe from the balcony of the room. He does not know Olivia, but an upset feeling filled his chest when he heard the news of the breakup of Arini and Varo had something to do with a foreign girl named Olivia. For Sandra, the person to blame for the breakdown of the relationship between the two lovebirds is Olivia. The girl who according to the story Arini always tried to stick and tease Varo every chance.

“Sorean there yuk, I want to see what looks like” kayak Sandra. Ete nodded then stepped into the room and lay down on the bed.

“But I didn't follow ya.” Ete grinned as Sandra cast a look of wonder. “Ikutan fight means, I'm neutral”

“Lu same friend. Emang soul traitor you tuh high bang”

Ete just laughed, he was having a PDKT with Johan and hostile Olivia is the same as digging his own grave, considering how angry Johan was the other day, he said, Ete should understand that his attitude towards Olivia will be the determinant of the smooth relationship between Ete and Johan. As long as Ete can show that she is neutral, she should be safe. To hell with loyal friends, Johan is too handsome for him to waste.

By late afternoon Sandra, Arini, and Ete go to the cafe. There was Varo, Dimas, and Bima sitting in a corner with their respective laptops, busy continuing the apprenticeship report.

“That's called Olivia?” whispered Sandra saw the figure of a girl from a distance.

Ete shaking. “That's her name is Sera, her friend Olivia”

“Oh. I guess.. Fortunately I have not blasphemed his face” Sandra reply haughty then go inside and pull the seat sitting next to Bima.

“Bushy very fathers of the village, until not aware there is a group of angels come” Sandra scolded.

Bima turned his head then said indifferently. “Oh you guys, sorry I thought pigs passed”

“Damn lu!” maki Ete's. “Wow, where are you going?” ask him when he peeked at the screen of Varo's laptop.

“No, I just want to extend the validity period of my passport, replied Varo to close the chat screen that he sent to Putra.

“Oh I want you to travel abroad”

“Kalo I want to travel why? You want to come?”

“Ogah. Entar instead of traveling instead sex party” replied Ete kalem.

Varo muttered with an amused smile. “Crazy.” He looked back at the laptop screen, apparently not wanting to join their chat. Varo's body was there, but his mind was somewhere else. Even though Arini stared at him a few times, he did not shake.

“Hai Johan!”

Saapan Ete made all turn, Johan and Olivia walked into the cafe.

“Two who came, but who called it just one” nyinyir Bima but Ete did not care.

“Where to?”

“Front, take parcelan” replied Johan.

“Eh knows this my friend Sandra” said Ete hastily introduced Sandra and gave the girl a short code that she had marked Johan as hers.

Sandra snorted, though inwardly acknowledging Johan's good looks. Had Sandra not had a boyfriend, she would not have ignored the Ete code.

“Johan”

“Sandra”

“And this one is Olivia” Ete said.

Olivia welcomes Sandra's hand, but she doesn't smile. A shower of hatred from Arini's eyes made Sandra's smile disappear, and a second later Sandra was like an electric shock. Like seeing a demon in the middle of a hole, Sandra just realized something.

“Alex?..... Lu Alexandria right?” Sandra's eyes are round. “Still remember me right? I'm Sandra, we met at the club at that time”

“Inget. Lu how are you?”

“B-good. I didn't know you were here.” Sandra stared in surprise, Olivia did not shy away like the last time they met at the club. Let alone asking the news, just staring at Sandra Olivia did not want to.

“Lu very different yes now”

“Hmm, and I see you still remain the same, kayaking in SMA” The corner of Olivia's left lip is raised displaying an odd smile.

Sandra realized, it was a trickle that Sandra hated the most. He hates an old version of himself, a high school boy with no breast implants, lip fillers, and no nose. But now, in this place Olivia seems to want to say that no matter how hard Sandra tries, she will remain the same as the old version of herself. Just a sentence, but Olivia manages to hurt Sandra's self-esteem.

“Gue same Olivia entered first yes, Kak Rangga was there for help. Yuk Oliv.” Johan pulls Olivia away when he realizes Sandra's surprised look at Olivia's words.

“Bastard girl!” as Sandra was when Olivia walked away. “Kok you on no story if there is Alex here?”

“Alex?” varo murmured slowly somewhat confused by this situation. There was the sound of Dimas snorting which took his mineral water and vertical with a slightly displeased expression.

“Name Alex?” this time Arini asked.

“She's one SMA with the three of us. Her name is Alexandria, but she is often called Alex. She's the girl who used to love Varo. Often called Radit the expanse of stars because of his spotty face….. That's the one who wants to send a letter to you but hunted to be found out with the kids, so yeah kind of bullied that's it. You don't remember the hell?” obviously Sandra was staring at Varo.

“He is beautiful now. Must be a hard diet, mental annoyance because dikatain fat” laughter Sandra turned on Arini and winked, even though Arini just silent and forced himself to smile. Sandra doesn't care. If he can't avenge Olivia's humiliation, he will destroy her reputation in front of everyone, especially Varo.

“Eh, but he's not a bullshit, is he? How can there be no scars? Though normally if his face is destroyed by acne, there should be a former”, Sandra said again.

“Aaan anyway, you if ugly do not have to say people” ketus Dimas can not stand. Sandra was surprised but quickly changed her facial expression to keep looking calm.

“I'm just the name. You like her?”

“Iya. I like her. Satisfied?” grunts Dimas closed his laptop then unceremoniously stepped away from the place.

“And I've told you San, sensitive everyone if the topic Olivia” nudged Ete whispered softly. Sandra gave a loud snort, her mood getting shattered due to Dimas' reprimand earlier.

After that, no one spoke. Even the clever Bima melted the atmosphere choosing to be silent, pretending to type in the apprentice report. The anger of Johan on yesterday and Dimas on this day, has become a sign for Bima to lock her mouth tightly and not interfere, even though she also looks curious half-dead.

Who's Alex? Who's Olivia? What letters?  Who was bullied? Such questions arise in Bima's mind, but again he chose to lock his mouth tightly.

“Varo this...ngak so I have met the answer” ringis Bima when looking at the expression of Varo when staring at the laptop screen. Grim, the focus was somewhere else. Even Bima could feel an unpleasant aura coming out freely in the air.

“Lu why silence? Shock girls who bullied your group already so cute?” korek Sandra's. Bima stared in horror, he spontaneously poked Ete's foot to reprimand Sandra to keep her mouth shut. Inviting Varo to speak as he displayed such an expression, was akin to waving a war flag.

“Please respond dong. Don't you know if Olivia is Alex?” sandra asked, Varo silently made Sandra's smile expand. “He's a liar. Hide identity, let's what? Are we comfortable and praise that change? The cave is ogah, unclean. And now you seriously want to be like that liar chick? Identity is covered up, let alone others. After that, lies continue to lie. Liar will never bear fruit.”

Varo closed his laptop screen and turned to Sandra with a calm expression. “The liar still mending San, compared to us...we bully.”.

Sandra clucked to not hear Varo's words, she cut her hair haughtily. “Lu naive. Remove diamonds by stone.”

Varo laughed, but his expression quickly turned cold. “San, you know me from SMA right? You should know there is a boundary I created between me and everyone, including Say”

“So that means, don't you accept my word about Alex? Is that? Lu crazy, defying foreign girls compared to your friends challenge Sandra fold both hands and face raised haughty.

“Gue wants to straighten out some things San. First, you're just a friend I know, so don't feel special. Second, I don't like fighting girls, but if I feel what you're doing is out of bounds...” Varo leaned toward Sandra and pretended to want to whisper. “Gue will not hesitate to shut your mouth in the exact same way as I did to our bully victims.”

Sandra froze. Varo just gave him a warning. With a sweet smile and a pat on Sandra's shoulder, Varo stood carrying a laptop.

“Gue back, than we are more awkward” said Varo kalem then stepped away.

Sandra took a breath, trying to throw away her surprise. “Mantan lu lunas”

“Lu also. I told you all about Olivia's topic, you still discussed it. Because you are now” reply Ete followed horrified to see the attitude of Varo earlier.

“It looks like now, I can't help you a lot” Sandra told Arini with a wry expression.
