The music of the DJ is heard echoing in a night entertainment venue where Maya and her friends take Sheila. The innocent girl who had just set foot in such a place could only cover her ears, when the music felt like it would break her eardrums.
"Come on, we're sitting there!" Maya pointed to a place where there were some men sitting there. Sheila circulated her gaze to every corner of the room with a feeling of fear.
What is this place? Why did they bring me here? inner Sheila.
The girl shuddered in horror when she saw that there were many women dressed half-naked. And there were also many people who looked drunk.
"Maya, I'm going home. I don't want to stay here long."
"Come Sheila. This is the coolest entertainment venue in the city. You should be happy to be here." Maya tries to persuade Sheila, while glancing at her two friends as if asking for help to persuade the geeky girl.
"But this place is very noisy. I'm just going home." Sheila glanced there and there with an erratic feeling. His fear has become.
Maya then pulls Sheila's wrist and sits her in a long chair, then orders a drink. The few men who were there continued to look at Sheila with admiration, making the little girl feel uneasy.
Why are they looking at me like that? inner Sheila.
Sheila was getting uncomfortable with the place, wanting to go home soon, but Maya kept holding her back.
"Where's toilet? I'm going to the toilet." Sheila asked.
"That's right there!" Maya pointed to the corner of the room, where the toilet was. "But not for long, yeah!"
"alright. I'll go to the toilet first." Sheila stood up from her seat leaving Maya and the few people who were there. The little girl was so afraid of being in a place that to her was very unsuitable for those who were teenagers.
Sheila stood in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection that night looking very different. Maya and her friends actually juggle Sheila into a very beautiful girl. Even Sheila could hardly believe that what was before her was her reflection.
Until a while, Sheila was still reluctant to come out to join Maya.
"Sister Marchel, I'm afraid. I want to go home." he muttered with teary eyes.
Out there, Maya is launching her evil plan. Just put the powder in a drink she ordered for Sheila. "After this, he'll be drunk. And I'm gonna take a picture of it and spread it in school. He'll definitely be expelled by the school."
Both of Maya's friends seemed so satisfied with the behavior of their gang leader.
"Felly, let's see what the geeky is doing. Why is she so long in the bathroom" Maya orders her friend.
Immediately, Felly headed to the bathroom where Sheila was locking herself up.
TOK TOK TOK
The sound of knocking on the door blew Sheila's daydream. The girl opened the door immediately. Felly was standing in the doorway with a pretentious smile.
"What are you doing in the bathroom? Come on, get out. We're gonna have fun." Felly pulls Sheila's wrist out of the bathroom, towards the chair where Maya is sitting. Maya and her two crazy party friends so enjoyed the event that night.
"Come, Sheila... Sit down!" Felly.
"Drink!" Maya offers a drink in front of Sheila. "Let's drink! You'll feel like you're floating around after drinking it."
The girl just shook her head, because she had never before drunk such a drink.
"Yes, Lyra... Let's go to the dance floor," Felly's excited
Maya and another stood up, heading for the dance floor. While Sheila was still she was pecking in place, sliding the drink in front of her into the middle of the table, as her eyes glanced there and there with fear.
"Sister Marchel, I'm sorry. I didn't know that they would take me to a place like this" he murmured.
A man then approached Sheila, about to get acquainted, but Sheila refused to talk to a man she did not know, silent in her seat.
****
The night is getting late.
After getting tired of dancing on the dance floor, Maya and her friends sit down with Sheila again, and without asking much Maya sips a drink in front of her to the toilet. Likewise with Felly and another person who immediately sipped the alcoholic drink. Sheila stared at the three of them one by one.
"Why is my head suddenly dizzy, huh?" maya said in a voice like a drunk.
"You drink too much" Felly said.
"But I like it. Sheila let's drink!" Maya gives Maya a drink, but Sheila looks at her without touching it.
The two Maya friends also look at each other, why Maya is drunk while Sheila is still fresh. Not showing any hangover. Even the two people had also started to get dizzy after sipping a glass of drink.
"Felly, let's take Maya home. He seemed to have been heavily drunk" said a friend.
"All right, let's help him." Felly and a friend help Maya stand up, then step away leaving Sheila still silent in her seat.
Sheila then followed behind the three, about to head for the exit. However, when she looked in one direction, Sheila's eyes were perfectly rounded.
Marchel was sitting with two friends who knew Sheila as well as doctors Willy and Wira. A friend Marchel had introduced some time ago.
"That's Brother Marchel with his friends."
Sheila momentarily forgot Maya who had already left that place. Then walk closer towards a pillar and lean there peeking at Marchel.
"It looks like they're drunk" he muttered when he heard Marchel's heavy voice.
"Stop drinking, Marchel... You're drunk!" Willy's voice sounded heavy warning Marchel not to drink anymore. Even though he was drunk.
"Yes, right. You are a doctor. You're going to ruin your reputation as a doctor" Wira added with a remnant of consciousness.
"Just be wild. I want to forget everything. Let me drink!" sahut Marchel while again sipping the alcoholic drink.
"What do you want to forget?" ask Wira.
"Everything. I'm tired of all this. I can't take it anymore. Living in that pretense is very painful. I can't forget Shanum. I'm tired of pretending to accept Sheila as my wife. I can't keep pretending."
Like lightning striking. Sheila could clearly hear every word that came out of her husband's mouth. It turned out that all Marchel's good treatment all along was for her to just pretend. Marchel could not accept Sheila's presence.
"You're crazy, Marchel. You're also Wil. You both need a doctor, even if you're a doctor yourself!" maki Wira while laughing.
"Be quiet, Hero! You don't need a doctor, look at yourself drunk too!" reply Willy.
Sheila was still frozen in her place. Her lips were tightly clenched to hold back tears.
Pretending? So all this time, all Kak Marchel's treatment was just pretending.
