SMP X
14. What's the News and Goodbye

Richy who was previously severely injured must be treated in the hospital until he recovers. Moand has left home and Adam has also finished his story with several women.

Moand, who has the power to get a prison sentence but falsifies his sentence by taking a vacation out of town.

Chrysant who eventually gained a position for the art of painting always came to practice on time as usual. But Rahman, still under Moand's influence, paid no attention to Chrysant.

20 January 2020

Afternoon at Junior High X. Chrysant was very saddened by Rahman's attitude all this time trying to survive. He thought to see where he could endure this shame.

It had been two hours for Chrysant to wait but once again Rahman did not come. After counting only four times Chrysant managed to train with Rahman although he had to beg by reminding Rahman after school to come train him.

A bored Chrysant walked through the classroom and the field. Until his feet stopped hearing Rahman's laughter.

Chrysant saw clearly that Rahman was joking with some Master while sipping black coffee and some wet cakes.

Once again, with great embarrassment Chrysant voiced out. "Good afternoon, sir.."

Rahman looked at Chrysant with a fed up look. Chrysant who saw Rahman's sinister gaze made his heart thump.

"Wait for you to talk to the teachers.. Wait a minute.." Rahman immediately turned his gaze over and humbled to the fellow Master by his side.

Chrysant with a weak shoulder walked away from Master's room. Slowly her tears fell and as she passed the male bathroom she recalled the incident the other day.

Given the incident, his head became dizzy. Chrysant slowly walked towards the warehouse and went inside to cry.

Chrysant felt very stupid and embarrassed. He knew that He had been in camp from the beginning and continued to act as if his intentions would run smoothly in Junior High X who always relied on power.

"Hey.." Rican Tegur. Rika is a schoolgirl with Chrysant. Rika is a classmate of Chrysant from kela 7A.

"Hey.." Chrysant answered while rubbing his cheek.

"Well this place is really popular well.many kids come here to be alone.."

". . ."

"I know you're the owner of Card_Az account right ?"

"What if you know. If you want to spread it to people please.. I don't care." Chrysant immediately stood up and Rika instantly withdrew her hand.

When Chrysant looked away, he was shocked to see Rika wearing a monkey mask on her face. "Hahaha what is it.."

"I'm in a poetry contest and I'm gonna wear this mask as a sweetener."

With a smile Chrysant responded to the conversation with Rika. "You sure love poetry."

"Very.. I've loved poetry since I was in Kindergarten.. But I'll move if I don't get champion one. We'll actually move on a few days ago but since I'm determined to stay then Dad gives me a chance."

Apparently Rika who has finished poetry training is sad because during the practice she always gets criticism when she is the same as Chrysant who already has many achievements before entering Junior High X.

Rika felt as strong as she tried her nets were always given nails that pierced to hurt her heart and self-esteem. Rika who plans to cry in the warehouse instead meets with Chrysant.

Chrysant slowly hugged Rika with both of his hands. "Let's try our hardest for the most precious thing."

"What is that ?"

"Happiness."

January 23, 2020

Chrysant who had made up his mind today was prepared to give up. His worried heart needed additional strength and finally he decided to ask Sumirna, Amelatiy and Richy.

After talking to Sumirna, Amelaty and Richy, they both answered Chrysant's question with the phrase 'Yes is fine'.

Chrysant who left after the break bell rang stepped foot fearlessly towards Master's room until Rahman once again pretended not to see it.

"Excuse me, good day sir !"

"Hm.." A forced smile was strewn across Rahman's cheeks.

"I stopped Sir." Chrysant firmly stared into Rahman's eyes without fear. "Thank you for your guidance so far I still lack so much that I know myself.."

". . ." Rahman could only remain silent as this was the plan Moand had ordered Rahman to execute.

But deep in Rahman's heart again evokes memories of his past with Zagas. Remembering the smiles and disappointments of Zagas again messed up his heart and mind.

"Sir.. Mr.. Excuse me. hm. not heard well.."

Chrysant immediately ran down the hallway and headed straight for class 7J. "AMEEEEEEEEEEEEL !"

"AH ! HEY YOU SURPRISED ME "Amelaty who was standing at the classroom door was apparently waiting for Chrysant. "What's up ?" Chrysant was surprised to see tears drenching Chrysant's cheeks.

Chrysant immediately hugged Amelaty tightly. "I'm happy.. I've stopped. everything's done.."

"Smart girl.. Chrysant was a great kid.." Amelaty rubbed Chrysant's head gently.

"Chrysant.." A small voice from behind Chrysant called out his name.

"Eh Ruby's mother.."

"Eh why are you crying, son ?"

"Why don't you, Mom.."

"Chrysant I'm hungry.. I went to the cafeteria first, yeah.." Amelaty looks at Ruby's cynics and leaves them.

Chrysant knew that Amelaty was lying because he knew Amelatiy hated Ruby so much and Chrysant did not know the cause.

"So I saw you withdraw from the art of painting well. May I ask why ?"

"Hm.." Chrysant's eyes began to turn red.

"Ah no need to answer. Sorry I was sassy to ask your personal problems son." Ruby rubbed Chrysant's cheek. "How about Chrysant Come with Mom."

". . ."

"Kriya's Art."

"Kriya ?" It was the first time I heard that term."

"Hm. how well so that you immediately understand.. Hm.. Kriya Art is an art that is formed using hands from raw materials to become a craft."

"Hm.. ceramic.. urn.. like that Mom ?"

"Oh, that's one example."

". . ."

"You must answer it now because the race will be held on the twelfth of February."

"What about the other participants ?"

"They failed all and Mom is running out of participants now. No student is experienced in the beauty of art. Most of them are just duplicating what I'm exampleing. Hm.. I need an artist soul.. I want you."

"Well after school please go to the laboratory IPA (Natural Science) I'll give you the language."

When the last lesson is finished, Chrysant goes straight to the MIPA laboratory.

"Chrysant !" Amelaty's voice called out to Chrysant from behind.

"Ah.. I'm busy Amel.. I'll go first, yeah.." Chrysant immediately left Amelaty alone.

Amelaty wrinkled her chin, feeling annoyed that Chrysant was getting close to Ruby.

When he arrived at the laboratory, Chrysant immediately covered his mouth and nose with both hands. Chrysant smelled bitter like medicine.

"Hahahaha take the mask." Ruby's hand pointed at the sterile mask beside her bag.

"What is Ruby's mother ?" Chrysant slowly approached Ruby who was splitting the skin of the dried maja fruit with a saw.

"Ah, this is called a fruit. Usually the contents of this fruit are used to treat diarrhea."

"I'd better buy some fruit syrup at the pharmacy."

"Well Mother will give you this split fruit, a twig of black wood that has not been honed and some dried banana midribs. Please Chrysant make a craft that can be a selling point or have the use of even a display."

The light in Chrysant's eyeballs came to life. It was like finding a new challenge that made her hands impatient to start.

"What fruit is this ? As if it were no stranger." Rahman suddenly appeared.

". . ." Chrysant and Ruby were silent and a little regretful because their main ingredient that was still secret had been known.

"Hm.. Ibu Ruby, sorry in advance.The school does not fund Kriya art because this is a branch of art that even no student would want to follow in the District or City level. Isn't this a burden to his guide ?"

Ruby smiled. "I did not come to win or lose Sir. I'm just fighting for a talent that the whole world should see."

Rahman is getting jealous because Chrysant is ignoring him. "Good ! I can only pray that Kriya's art this year will be included in the International competition. Then I'll excuse you." Rahman stroked Chrysant's head and walked away.

"What does Mr Rahman Bu mean ?"

"Hm. every year is not always a branch of art and sport can be held up to the international level. We can only wait to be countered by prayer and effort."

". . ."

"No need to be sad, I will fight for everything without the help of funding from this school."

Hearing Ruby's words even added fear and anxiety in the heart of Chrysant who had just known the art of Kriya. For him he was looking at his fiery self in the past.

24 January 2020 At four in the morning.

Chrysant's phone kept ringing until it woke Chrysant from his deep sleep.

"Nl.." Chrysant, who was not fully conscious, still closed his eyes.

"Are you awake ?"

"What's up ? You're Rich's nightmare ?"

"The nightmare came true."

"What's up !" In a flash, Chrysant's eyes became fresh.

"Mom and I are back."

"Well.." Chrysant immediately cried to hear Richy's words. His chest felt so tight that it was difficult to exhale.

"I wish Chrysant a successful and happy girl until you forget what it's like to be hurt."

"Stop this dramatic talk. Talk like a tough Richy. The way you speak is not just Richy Crown."

"Why at this moment I just want to hear your voice Chrysant."

"Hehe.. Is my voice that good ?"

"If we meet I want you to make me a salted egg martabak. When I heard Kak Rin's story I felt so envious because if on New Year's Eve I was with you I might be free for that moment."

"Have you ever eaten a martabak ?"

"It hasn't been, I just forgot. It's been a long time."

"When can we meet ?"

"Quickly."

"All right. as soon as possible."

That was Chrysant's last conversation with Richy. Thirteen-year-old Richy Mahkota died by hanging himself in a warehouse very far from the main house of the Luca Crown Family.

Actually, Richy was enjoying his days without having to look at Moand's face calmly and happily.

Until one night he was surprised to see his parents eating together and he saw the map containing the divorce papers had been torn into pieces.

Moand who saw Richy immediately approached him to reconcile but Rienly who saw him immediately pulled Richy's hand and took him away.

The two of them spent time in Rienly's room to hide from their own biological mother.

Before Richy died, he spent his time surrounding their mansion. He also took the time to talk to the guards at the gate.

Richy went to the orchard he planted with Moand when he first set foot in this house.

Richy and Moand plan to turn their vast yard into a fruit and vegetable garden if they go bankrupt.

The two of them spent days making their small garden. Rienly and Adam also help make the roof from wood and plastic.

Richy walked through a small garden filled with fruit plants in pots. Richy gave up this garden to be taken care of by ARTnya because indirectly Richy has also ignored this garden.

His feet stopped on an old tree. This was the tree that He and Moand wanted to try the fruit with first until the plan only ended up being a plan.

Richy hated himself who could no longer accept Moand's presence in his life. Somehow Richy did not have any feelings for Moand even if He tried to revive him.

Richy who had lost his mind walked towards the warehouse and made the right decision according to his heart.

When the entire house was confused by the existence of Richy. Adam immediately turned the CCTV footage and saw that his only daughter had been hanging in the warehouse of their home.

Rienly who ran hard towards the warehouse immediately took the stairs to reach his sister and hugged Richly tightly.

Adam who arrived immediately climbed on the stairs from the opposite side. Adam quickly cut the rope that tied the neck of his beloved daughter with a knife.

While bringing down Richy, Moand immediately approached. But Rienly immediately took the knife from Adam's hand and promised in front of Richy's corpse that until Richy was buried Moand would not be able to touch Richy in the slightest.

Moand who did not care about the words of Riently still forced to approach. Riently who knew Moand's nature instantly slashed his own shoulders.

Rienly warns Moand if it still forces Richy to touch Moand and Adam will lose him too.

Moand was devastated to see the horrifying sight before his eyes. Looking at the small papaya visible from Richy's transparent pocket made his knees tremble to the point of fainting.
