Ivona walked up to Thomas, and he twitched his forehead, when he saw something strange in his brother Thomas's body. There was a tinge of bruising red visible from behind the shirt he was wearing, and also as Thomas walked, he kind of dragged his right leg.
"Sister Thomas.., you can see for a moment!" Ivona suddenly stops Thomas from leaving her.
Thomas stopped and looked questioningly at his younger brother. He thought to himself, why Ivona suddenly pro actively asked him to stop. Usually the girl always shies away from him, even responding with winds if she invites him to talk.
"What's Iv.., what do you want to see?" ask Thomas slowly.
"What happened to Thomas's right leg, and then behind the top shirt that he was wearing, there was a bruise scar there. Who did it, brother?" Ivona was curious, she recognized the scar that had occurred on Thomas' body. It was a blow wound not an accident wound.
Hearing Ivona's question, Thomas fell silent as if hesitant to tell what he had experienced. Tommy followed Thomas' body parts, he was also astonished and wondered where the wounds came from.
"Why Thomas, where did your wounds come from?" Tommy asked Thomas.
Thomas smiled wryly at the two siblings. He then took a deep breath, then took it out again.
"Is it necessary and important that you both know where my wounds came from? I've been trying to hide it, but it turns out that my younger brother is very attentive to me, I get very moved." said Thomas, then he rolled his shirt up his arm. Ivona was horrified to see the bluish-red streaks on both of her brother's arms.
"Who is this, brother? Why did you let someone else beat you up like this?" with a sad feeling, Ivona asked Thomas. But her brother was still silent, unwilling to answer her question.
"Tell Thom, however we are brothers. There are things we need to share and know about each other. Don't keep it to yourself!" Tommy finally helped find out the origin of the wounds on Thomas' body. It was impossible for the blow to come from an outsider, as the people of this city still looked to the Iswara family.
"For the girl, Vaya." Thomas pointed to Vaya who was still in the neighborhood.
"*What the f*k!! What else did he do?" tommy exclaimed with a nano look.
"The culprit was not him, but because I followed Grandpa's orders to drive Vaya out of the house" Thomas said slowly.
"So.. what?? Indeed, he should know himself, without the need for us to expel, should he immediately leave our house, when he knew that the Iswara family is not his real family." said Tommy who felt annoyed, exasperated, because Thomas didn't immediately tell the real story.
Thomas was silent for a while, then he looked at Ivona and Tommy alternately.
"I was beaten with rattan, because I knew that day, I had kicked Vaya out of the house. I also don't know what Vaya has told my mom. I couldn't defend myself either, because when my mom hit me, I was sleeping" Thomas said with a bitter smile.
Ivona was so agitated, with Thomas her biological son who since the baby lived with her alone, Lady Iswara could beat her to pieces. Thomas was an adult, no longer a child. Ivona compares with her newly discovered self in a period not even 2 years. All that was done by Lady Iswara only because of Vaya, it was so deep that the girl filled the heart space of Madam and Mr. Iswara.
Hearing Thomas's story, Tommy's gaze grew cold and his face flat. It was seen if he harbored something very upset.
"Sister Thomas just go home first, brother must rest. Ivona promised, I'll accompany brother Thomas sometime to eat together." Ivona felt sorry for the man, because in an attempt to straighten out his status in the Iswara family, he had to feel such a blow.
**********
Thomas and Tommy along with Ivona finally make a deal, and they immediately exit the Dharma Nusa High School neighborhood. When he saw Tommy taking Ivona away, Vaya stood behind them.
"Vaya didn't go to eat. Vaya wants to eat with my friends." suddenly Vaya deliberately spoke loudly.
His friends, who were still at school, looked at him. She did so to allay the shame that her position in the hearts of her two brothers had been shifted by Ivona. He still wanted the students in this school to view him as part of the Iswara family, so he had to do just that.
"Why don't you go with Vay. said they want to go eat?" ask his friend sarcasm,
"I happen to be still full, because this afternoon most of the meal messages in the cafeteria. Besides I also have an appointment to meet my friends at the cafe, cook I leave them only to eat with my sister." replied Vaya shamelessly.
"The hell." said his friend who knew from the beginning of the incident just now, between Vaya and his brothers.
"Why? You don't believe what I said." Vaya spoke in a high tone.
"He.he.., he.., that's when I get angry. Who knows, indeed your two brothers did not invite you to eat together." said his friend who immediately walked left him alone there.
"If you don't know anything, don't make your own conclusions." Vaya is still struggling.
While Tommy only looked briefly at Vaya, he ignored the girl and left with Ivona's hand. Seeing the sight, Vaya's heart grew hot and irritated. She was worried that her two brothers would completely ignore her forever. He imagined how he would live a life that was already luxurious, if without the support of the resources of the Iswara family.
Vaya looked at from the inner courtyard, William walking leisurely. He suddenly felt a little comforted, as he looked at William who was walking towards him. He knew very well, if this man always tried to approach him, but he was the one who always ignored him. Vaya was thinking of taking advantage of the young man at this time.
"Hi Will..., just got out?" ask Vaya with a gloomy face.
"Hmm.." said William briefly, without any further words. The young man walked away, and there was no intention of William to comfort him. Vaya is disappointed and wonders what happened to William, why his attitude has turned indifferent.
"Damn..., what's up with today? Not that it was noon, William had helped me when I fainted in the bathroom. What happened to him, until he ignored me like that?" ask Vaya in my heart. He could not accept William's drastic change in attitude towards him.
