TMS EPS 55: JEALOUSY SYMA

"It was just a business meeting. She's a European woman. We were just talking about business and there weren't just the two of us, but the five of us. At that time the woman was sitting next to me, not because we had a special relationship. It's just that they're used to chatting with the opposite sex that close."

Syma changed her facial expression. Now his eyes are glistening sharply. It was obvious jealousy on his face.

"Yes. And because Mas is also a gatel, so all of you have a chance. Because if Mas does not want to, surely Mas will choose another seat. And again... Business meeting, why should it be in such a place. There's a lot of other places like cafes or whatever. Can Mas actually be horrified, if talking to people in the sound of loud music?"

Ersad raised next to his eyebrows. He smiled when he found out his wife was jealous. "Truly too, huh? Why didn't I choose another seat. And if I were to sit somewhere else, maybe the woman who was there could sit on my lap, because I felt I didn't come with anyone."

"What?" Now Syma realized why Ersad did not switch to another seat. Even without the need to explain Syma already understands. That's why he hid his face in shame.

"You know Syma. Ever since you came into my life. A lot of things have changed. I was confused as to why I had been able to change so far. Especially since Erika's death. Things like that used to be very common to me. Changing partners without any sense of sin at all.

But now....

God allows a man to marry more than once. But I wouldn't do that to you. I will choose you as my only wife.

Not because I'm afraid of you.

But because I'm afraid I won't be able to be fair. And the magnitude of responsibility is late."

Ersad's speech seemed to be a beautiful poem when heard by his ears. So sweet it went into his heart. Which unhappy wife heard such a saying from her husband.

A smile appeared on Syma's face. And all of a sudden, he felt his body being lifted up by Ersad and sitting on the table. Syma reflexively put her hand around her husband's neck as a grip.

"Today don't go anywhere... "

"Why?"

"I'll take you somewhere."

"Where?"

"You'll know later."

"So, who do you call old bangka?"

Aina stood clumsy as she felt the gaze of the Eagle from Hariz being so piercing. He even quickly averted his gaze from not wanting to look him in the eye.

"Anu Sir. That's... "

"Anu, what is it? Talk the right way!"

"Pah Hariz the old man. But I like it!" Aina smiled sweetly, showing her teeth lined up not so tightly as there was one shuffling. That is what makes her face look so sweet.

"Likes? You like this old fucker, huh!" Hariz looked at him with a smirk smile.

"really. But like it not in that sense."

"Then what was it like?"

Aina retreated slowly, as Hariz suddenly advanced. His heart was racing so fast. For some reason in this situation, Aina looked even more nervous.

"What do I really want to do? I just want to bring a brat like you, who never stops looking for trouble. Come with me to the office before the other teachers judge you!"

Aina had no choice. He was forced to follow Hariz's steps which led him to be judged.

Apparently in Hariz's room, there were already several teachers and also the parents of the students who bullied Aina. Aina put on a slight smile of hers seeing them staring intently at Aina.

"I don't want to know. The child of Satan must be severely punished. Look at my son getting battered like this he beat up. Uneducated children do not seem to deserve to be in this luxurious school!" Maki Leona's parents were upset.

"Kuntilanak! You said I was a son of the devil? Then your beloved daughter is a child of the devil. "reply Aina is no less sharp.

"AINA! WATCH YOUR SPEECH.

Your attitude never shows that you have been properly educated. You're embarrassing us as your teacher." Ms. Clara, who did not like Aina, now had a reason to come along with her.

"My attitude never showed that I was properly educated. Because indeed I never felt properly educated in this school. You teachers never once ask, you always judge without even listening to my explanation.

You also never once rebuked me in a good way, but you insulted and berated me in the crowd, making me bear the shame.

What is that you call being raised right!

"Enough. This is not how to solve the right problem.

Clara. If I don't tell you to talk, I hope you shut up and just listen." Hariz tried to mediate them. And pointed to Aina to talk first.

"Yes, I did beat Leona and her two friends. Until they look pathetic like this. I know as parents, you must be sad to see your child battered. But have you never thought to ask your own children what makes me beat them up?

I am really naughty. But I'm not crazy. I might beat someone for no reason.

I was eating at the time. They suddenly came to bully me. Spilling sticky drinks on my body. Look, even my clothes are still colored. I haven't cleaned it yet.

If you were in my position, what would you do while you were eating well and something would bother you?"

"He lied! Don't believe what Ma said... " Leona started to get scared seeing the change in the look on her parents' faces.

"All right, let's just say I lied. But can CCTV lie? It's a fancy school, isn't it? There can't be no cctv there. And I'm sure it's connected to this office. Please open it and see for yourself," Aina said casually. While Leona was already very scared of getting a tantrum from her parents.

"All right, we'll see together." Hariz tries to open the cctv footage, but Leona's voice stops him.

"No. I don't want to see. Whatever you want to do!" Leona immediately ran out of there, not wanting to bear the shame of her actions.

Of course, her parents were not feeling well. Although the pride was still there, so saying an apology was very heavy for them.

"I've been used to seeing bully victims. Some of them are stressed. Some people choose to end their lives. Because what? Because no one will defend them. They are weak, they are poor and they are stupid.

Complaining to the teacher, they were threatened. Especially to their parents. All they could do was surrender and accept everything. Even to fight, they have no courage.

It's a miracle, isn't it?" Aina spoke while looking at Clara.

"Alright Aina...

I'm gonna take care of the new rules at this school. I will also tighten up so that there are no more victims of bullying. And for the parents of the students. Please educate your child properly at home. Don't spoil them too much, by giving them whatever they want. Because it's a bad influence on your own children."
