Adibrata Threat
Tok tok tok tok
" Excuse me, Sir. In front is Mr. Marcel and Mr. Leo wants to meet with you." Yanti, the secretary of Adibrata Mahesa, told me that the headmaster and the head of the foundation where Bagas went to the Adibrata office this afternoon.
" Send them in, Yan!" Adibrata told his secretary to tell his two guests to enter his room. Because they had already made an appointment to meet this afternoon.
" Good, sir." Yanti then came back out to let Mr. Marcel and Mr. Leo into the room of his boss.
" Good day, Mr. Adibrata." said Mr. Marcel and Mr. Leo at the same time as he entered Adibrata's room.
" Good day, Mr. Marcel, Mr. Leo. Let's go ..." Adibrata immediately got up and approached his two guests and told them to sit on the sofa.
" I'm sorry that we interrupted your time, Mr. Adibrata" Mr. Leo said.
" The problems that occur are more important for us to discuss, Mr. Leo. I really did not expect Bagas to do such an embarrassing thing. Bagas has never acted mischievously to the point of embarrassing his family and school like this. I think that woman is what affects Bagas. Who exactly is that woman? She must be a bad woman who often has free relationships like in that video!" Adibrata looks furious. He even blamed Indhira, not realizing that his son was the one who caused the disgrace as recorded on the cctv camera and now went viral in the community it happened.
Mr. Leo and Mr. Marcel looked at each other to hear Adibrata's anger towards Indhira.
" The woman who was with Bagas was named Indhira Kusumaningrum. He's actually a good boy, Mr. Adibrata. He is also a smart child and has never acted like this all along. We were also shocked to learn that the female perpetrator in the video was Indhira." Mr. Marcel knows how Indhira's behavior has been one of the exemplary students at the school he leads.
" Mister Marcel meant all this Bagas' fault, like that!? Mr. Marcel knew for himself how Bagas was during school there, right!? There is no Bagas attitude or behavior that embarrasses the family name. Quite the contrary, he always made a proud achievement of that school." Adibrata is reluctant to blame her son in the case.
" B-not like that, Mr. Adibrata. I mean, I also did not expect both Indhira and Bagas to do such a thing." Mr. Marcel tried to clarify his words. Because Adibrata seemed to misunderstand his words earlier.
" I'm sorry, Mr. Adibrata. About the video that has been spread in this society how is the fate, sir? Because this also concerns the good name of our school and foundation." Mr. Leo asked about the solution of a viral video that was very horrendous at SMA Satu Nusa Satu Bangsa. Because he felt it was more important than finding out who was wrong in this case.
" I told people to take care of this. Soon the video will be taken down and the media will not dare to raise this news again. But, I don't want that woman in Mr. Marcel's school anymore. I don't want Bagas to continue meeting and connecting with that woman. If Mr. Leo keeps the woman in school, I'll move Bagas and I'll stop giving funds to Mr. Leo's foundation." Adibrata even threatened to stop the donation of funds that had been flowing to the foundation owned by Mr. Leo.
Both Mr. Leo and Mr. Marcel gasped at the threat of Adibrata that would stop the flow of funds that for years flowed into the foundation owned by Mr. Leo. For them, the threat of Adibrata is like a nightmare for the foundation and also the school of One Nusa Satu Bangsa High School.

" Just ...!" Bagas waved his hand as he saw the appearance of Benny and Hans at the entrance of the cafe. The two friends of Bagas' band members also came to the table where Bagas was.
" Why don't you get into class, Gas?" hans asked, seeing Bagas wearing a school uniform despite covering him with a hoodie.
" I went to Mr. Marcel and Mr. Marcel forbade me to take lessons first, Hans." said Bagas.
" Have you faced Mr Marcel? Then?" Benny was curious about the attitude of the school.
" That possibility is small for me, Hans. But, I don't know for Indhira. I'm afraid there's a difference in sanctions against the two of us" worried Bagas.
" You take it easy, Gas. I'm sure you'll be safe. The school parties dare to mess with you, directly cut the donation of funds to the foundation. I'm sure neither the school nor the foundation will take that risk, Gas." The large role of the Adibrata Mahesa family in the foundation that houses their school is not a public secret among the school's students. So it is not surprising that Bagas there became an idol and no one dared to cross opinions with Bagas let alone antagonize him.
" I don't worry about what I'm going through, Hans. What I'm worried about is Indhira. I'm afraid he'll be expelled. It's a pity that he has to drop out of school." Bagas explained what made him anxious.
" Then you just have to ask your parents for help so that Indhira is also not expelled, easy, right?" sahut Hans.
" Gas, why are you doing that? Then how can it be recorded and circulated in the public? You purposely recorded your activity?" ask Benny wondering why Bagas to do the despicable thing even to circulate the video.
" I'm a khilaf, Ben. And I also really don't remember the cctv in the room, either" Bagas regretted.
" How can it be spread?" hans asked in curiosity.
" The day after the incident, someone checked the cctv footage at home. The neighbor's man in front of the house. It looks like they copied the tape and spread it in the media." Bagas explained how it happened. And he also remains convinced that the man who is the man who leads the neighbors in front of his house is the mastermind of the chaos that is happening now.
" A lot of school talk about this video, Gas. I don't know what if you two had gone to school" Hans later said.
" I was at Indhira's house, I deliberately forbade him to go to school. Because he must be in great shock hearing this case," said Bagas.
" Indhira knows?" ask Benny.
" Yes, and he's in complete shock, Ben. He was devastated by this event. I'm really sorry, Ben. I'm the one who made a mistake. But, he bears more weight. Especially if he has to be kicked out of school." Bagas rubbed his face rough. He felt deep regret.
" It's not easy to deal with this for him, Gas. The only way was just now, as Hans said. Please ask your father to contact the school so as not to give a penalty to remove Indhira from this school. Yes, if for matters of shame anyway, how do you calm Indhira and give understanding friends so as not to continue discussing this issue." Benny gave Bagas some advice. Advice that looks easy. However, it is not easy to implement.
