"Dude, the hell, are you still here?" Richard gasped when he saw Alva still sleeping on the sofa where they had gathered. It had been three days that Alva had not returned home, and had not told her at all what was the cause. All he knew, that night, he drank the rest of his vodka bottle while refusing it raw before.
Alva did not reply to Richard's words but instead looked at the lunch box sent by his father yesterday. Well, the lunchbox was clean because Alva ate the whole thing.
"You why?" Richard asked, making Alva sigh and wake up from his place of sleep, "I made my father angry."
"Oh, so that's why you didn't come home? I guess because of what." Richard mangosteen. To Richard, William being angry at Alva was common. Richard knows how tough William is. In fact, even though Richard was a close friend of Alva, the man was still reluctant if he had to be in the same room with the most killer lecturer.
"Dude, what if your parents like your boyfriend?" Alva asked making Richard's brows raise, "Of course I'm happy! It is very difficult to unite the minds of the ancients with those of today. You know, my exes asked for a break up too because my mom loves to insinuate her and my dad who likes to look at her sharp."
Alva shook her head, "That's not what I meant. What if.."
Alva's speech stopped when again he remembered the incident yesterday in the supermarket. He saw how close Zhe and his father were. He saw how William loved Zhea so much, how the man calmed Zhea when her girl cried. He also saw how the touch of Zhe's hand on William's cheek could ease the man's emotions. Everything feels real. William seemed so protective and loving of Zhea, more than he did to Alva. Or... William's treatment of Zhe is indeed more than what a father does to his child?
"If what, brother?" Richard's voice broke Alva's daydream. The man sighed and laid his body back on the sofa.
After a while, Chloe and Airin open the door and sit on the same sofa as Alva, making the man put his foot on Chloe's thigh.
"Alva, what are you doing with that scholarship girl?"
Chloe asked with a slight laugh, making Alva cover her face with a pillow.
"I saw him this morning with Mr. Harison. I don't know if Mr. Harison could smile that wide. Ah, if only he had approved me this year, I would have fallen in love with him." Airin's speech made Alva snort. The man threw his lunchbox upset.
"Wait, what did you say?" Richard sat down on the table facing Chloe. Making the girl raise her eyebrows confused.
"Thus. What did Alva do to Zhea?" Ask Richard.
Chloe shrugged her shoulders, "His face was bruised, her lips were injured. That's what I see, I don't pay much attention to it anyway."
Now, Richard turned his gaze toward Alva, the whole. The man actually asked for an explanation when Alva just said, "I'm not in the mood. Shut up."
"What did you do to him?!" Jerking Richard. The man pulled Alva's shirt until his best friend sat down.
"I'm intoxicated. Never mind, don't bring up that problem.." Swishing Alva. Alva's answer did not satisfy Richard at all.
"The girl deserves it." Chloe replied while playing her toska-colored fingernails. Making Richard stare at the girl sharply, "What do you mean?!"
Chloe laughed as she handed Richard a video. Richard and Airin saw it together.
"It's impossible." Richard said, making Alva shrug his shoulders unconcerned.
"Crazy! Zhea's body is good too, huh!" Airin laughs.
Richard now faced off against Alva, "You didn't do anything to him just because of that, did you?"
Alva looked at him sharply, "Only?!"
"Oh, don't be a hypocrite, Alva. You're even worse than him. Why would you be angry just for that?"
Alva smiled cynically, "He's mine. No one touches my stuff but me."
Richard raised his hand in disbelief, "You always think of women as goods. That's why I warned you not to approach that scholarship girl!"
Alva looked at Richard intently, "You did it because you thought he was different. But, you see now, right?!"
Richard snorted, "At least you asked first why."
Alva grabbed her hair, "How can I ask if at the first question, she's already lying."
Richard did not answer. The man raised his hand and walked over to his friends who had been in the kitchen, "Collapse. I didn't interfere, and please regret it yourself."
"Babe, I have an idea." Chloe said, making Alva snort annoyed at her increasingly chaotic thoughts.
"We can spread it to the internet." Chloe's whisper makes Alva flinch. However, thinking about the events at the supermarket back then, Alva made a cynical smile, "Do as you please, babe."
"Even if he were to be the scorn of the entire campus, I wouldn't care."
Chloe smiled widely and transferred the video to the laptop in the room. Chloe edits her videos with writings like I am a*** or touch me free and the like. Every now and then the blonde girl smiled triumphantly.
Richard returned to their front with cereal in his bowl. His gaze was fixed on the laptop that Chloe was playing on, making the man choke on his own cereal.
"What the ****is this?!" Richard shouted while staring at Chloe's laptop screen, making the girl snort because her work was interrupted, "You're the reason why, never support your own best friend?!"
Richard looked at the girl in disbelief, "Because you did something unimportant!"
Chloe yelled, "Alva let me!"
Hearing that, Richard looked at Alva in disbelief, "Do you have to humiliate Zhea in such a cheap way?!"
"Your indifference can destroy an innocent girl, Alva Harison!" Jerking Richard.
"Not guilty? He's destroying my world! He destroyed the trust I had given him! He destroyed my ego! He ruined everything!" Jerky Alva.
"You're crazy!" Richard said in disbelief.
Alva just smiles cynically and takes over Chloe's laptop. The man opens the youtube app and presses the video that Chloe just edited. Richard takes the laptop out of Alva's hands.
"You?!" Alva shouted furiously. The man was about to punch Richard in the cheek when Richard punched him in the cheek faster. Richard throws his laptop, and grips Alva's shirt, "Conscious, Alva! Realize who you're gonna hurt!"
Alva was about to push Richard when the door of the room opened, showing William Harison carrying a bag in his right hand.
William's presence made everyone in the room seem jolted and immediately saluted the sharp-looking man. Richard took his grip off Alva's shirt, "I'm sorry, Mr. Harison."
William did not answer. The man walked over to retrieve the laptop that Richard had thrown. He played the video ready to upload, then closed his eyes to contain the anger. The video shows William leaving Zhe at the club a few days ago. Makes William realize that Alva's anger is from there.
"Dad,"
William growled and immediately punched Alva's cheek until the man fell down. Makes everyone look surprised. Of course, William was hitting his own son!
William sat in Alva's stomach and grabbed the man's shirt, "Who taught you this shit?!"
Alva laughed, "Daddy said that because my girlfriend has teased you, right?"
William smacked Alva's cheek once more, "Take care of your mouth!"
"Am I wrong?! You've seen how damned that girl is! Can't be denied if he can be ******* to you!" Alva's snapping makes William hit Alva's cheek again. The man pulled Alva's already limp body to stand up.
"Look, you have no right to say that. From the beginning, I warned you. If you hurt her a little, I'll kill you. I'm really gonna kill you!" William snapped, making everyone there gasp with William's anger. They were much more jolted because William beat up his own son for the sake of a girl.
"See? Guys? Lookie! My own father said it for the sake of a girl who, in fact, only knew him a few days ago. See how bad the girl****** is?!"
PLAQUES
William slapped Alva in the face and looked at her sharply.
"That night, I took him to the club. He's not alone. She's gone with me."
Alva gasped at William's words, "You mean?"
"Zhea came to the club with me. I had an event with my friend, and I brought him one that can't be left alone." Obviously William.
"I put on my jacket, so no one can see her body. I said, no one!"
"And if you blame him for what you saw on the video, you're wrong. You're wrong, because I'm the one who made it that way. I left him alone and had fun with my friends. I was drunk until I forgot to come to the club with him. I forgot about it and made that bastard come, gave him booze, used it. I was wrong!"
Alva was amazed to hear William's explanation. In fact, the man glazed over as he explained it.
"You know how sorry I am for forgetting it? You know how guilty I feel about seeing him used by a striped-nose guy inside the club?!"
"Daddy.." Alva lirih.
"And do you know how much it hurts my heart to see the terrible circumstances of my son torturing him for my faults? You know what, Alva?!" William's snapping makes Alva squish. The man fell onto the sofa with a completely erratic feeling.
"I told him not to tell you anything so you wouldn't have to take that issue with me. Me,"
Alva grabbed her own hair. The man really felt foolish to have done such a thing to her.
"****!" William said, "Looking at him makes me want to punch you in the face."
Willkam picked up the bag he was carrying and threw it in front of Alva, until it was scattered everywhere.
Alva stared at her favorite food, oysterishu pancakes. And of course, it was Zhe's.
"Why do I have to obey him to come here and hear your nonsense!" Jerky William.
The man takes Chloe's laptop and deletes all of Zhe's videos.
"Look! If this video gets out, I'll make a calculation with all of you! Especially you, Alva!" William looked at their faces one by one. Those who looked down in fear saw William's anger.
"I don't care, even in a dirty way, I'm gonna get you all kicked out of New York University. And no university will accept you." William slammed the laptop and walked through the room.
Leaving those who were still flinched because of Mr.'s anger. Harison-they. For God's sake, they've never seen Mr. Harison was that angry. Even if he is the most killer lecturer on campus. And more surprisingly, they also saw Mr. Harison?
"Alva Stupid!" Alva screamed furiously and grabbed her own hair. Making Richard look at the man concerned.
What he feared, finally happened.
