The Heart of Vania
Great Empathy

It was a boring day back, bored and tired of the role I played, the weird little girl. Entering school after the funeral permit, there was no sadness for me, of course many doubted the news that my mother had died.

"Nia, the rumor was that the reason for your permission yesterday was a lie" Keysha opened the chat tonight after one week of school.

"liying?" I was confused, sitting on the edge of the bed facing him.

"Yes, even the teachers thought that if your mother died that was just your excuse for permission for a long time."

"Well! Am I crazy to make my mother's death a reason not to go to school? Why can they think so? Instead of being concerned about expressing condolences, she accused me of manipulating permission grounds."

My heart aches to hear it, if they just accuse me of lying without worrying about Mom, I don't bother at all. But, really have their heart, the level of teachers and schools are also consumed by gossip. Can't they check it?

"Because you don't look sad to lose someone you love."

"Mahaha ....." I laughed amusedly at her, "Is everything judging by what it looks like? Vaaahhh ... This is the name that justifies hypocrisy! Key, do I always have to cry in front of them to be trusted and get sympathy? Hush."

"Hahahaha ..it is also true what you said. Aih, it turns out that an image is very important in this school, like Serena who is careless because she no longer occupies her luxury home. His image as the most luxurious house-owning family in City A had already been evicted by the wealthy Young Master of the Capital. Reportedly bought at three times the market price for his pregnant wife."

My brows furrowed, why did the sentence finally sound familiar. Suddenly Keysha leaned his head in front of me and whispered as if he were afraid that someone would hear when we were both here, "Listen, listen, the Young Master's wife is from this town and her sister is attending school here, a generation with us."

My eyes opened wide and pecked, my heart beating faster than usual. Asumsiku has been jumping here and there along with the return of his position as before.

"This is what makes Serena more urgency because she is no longer the number one in this school, let alone not yet known who the younger brother-in-law of the Young Master, hahahahaha ...."

My body was still stiff but it was able to normalize my heart rate, "I guess if he knew, what would he do to Young Master's sister-in-law?" askaku.

Keysha shrugged her shoulders, "So Serena could try to be her friend.but-"

"But what?"

"I know Serena is not willing to be the person in the second position. Although he'll be friends later but that's not sincere."

"Since when has the boy been friends? He only cares about himself and even justifies all means to achieve his wish."

"Yes, he should have followed my sincere friend."

"Who?"

"Vania Kirana Larasati."

"Oh, Keysha Dellina, you made my head grow bigger because of your praise."

My roommate chuckled, then lay down to get ready for bed, "How's your sister doing with your mother's passing? Aren't you so worried about her."

I know what your brother means is Brother Litha, in this school no one knows that I have another sister with a condition of concern.

"She feels more lost than I do because my sister is pregnant right now. Luckily her husband was very caring and attentive to her, so I didn't have to worry about her."

"Well, congratulations, Nia, you're gonna be an aunt soon."

"Yes, I'm so happy to know that I'm going to be an aunt soon. It's this thing that took away my sadness of losing Mom, until there was a rumor that I was lying My mom died."

"It's bad that people make the news and spread it everywhere. Hoayammm ...."

"Hehehe ... Nothing in this life is eternal. Perhaps he had not felt what it was to lose because of someone's death, when it was something certain in this world." I turned my body to face Keysha. "Whatever you're ready to deal with it, losing it is like a dagger that cuts off part of your heart."

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"Key? You're asleep already? Very quickly you fell asleep," I said raising my head to make sure my best friend was asleep or not, it turns out he was lulled in the dream.

"Thank you, Key ... You've been my true friend all this time and you've never betrayed me" I smiled as I watched her fall asleep.

My mind glared, "Ah, it turns out that the house that Brother-in-law bought is Serena's house. How would he react if he knew I was the sister-in-law of the wealthy Young Master of the Capital? Is he going to lick me to make friends or bully me for not liking the facts?"

There are many things in the world that are hard to guess. Let alone a fate that is like a spinning wheel, even though we know the wheel of life is spinning but still can not guess the time, running fast or slow. Same with the culprit, man. The human heart is hard to guess, more mysterious than the Mariana Trench, the deepest place on earth. So, like one of the late father's tips to his three daughters, because the future is full of possibilities, then remain introspective, and,

...***...

"Nia, you're called the Headmaster in his room." Hana, the Classroom Leader told me.

I walked down the first-grade corridor towards the Headmaster's room questioningly in the head. I didn't feel like I was making a mistake, so why did he call me?

Geck. Geck.

"Please enter" said a voice from within.

Czechoslovak.

I opened the door with a downcast look, but at once the world stopped when my corneas caught someone sitting on the couch. Eyes narrowed with a strange look skinned me from the bottom up my body.

"Damn! Why would he be in the Headmaster's room and meet me who looks like this." I was upset in my heart.

"Vania, sit. You must have known Assistant Young Master Pradipta, your sister-in-law's assistant," the Headmaster emphasized his voice in the last sentence, your sister-in-law's assistant.

Assistant Yan's forehead frowned at me, I just realized that my appearance right now must have made his eyes hurt. "Miss Vania? What the hell happened to you? You cut ram-"

"No! Nothing with me, everything is normal! Yes ... everything is normal," I said quickly cutting the sentence because there is the Headmaster and my homeroom teacher, lest my role be revealed in front of them.

The manic stared intently at me as if searching for the truth, this time I was not afraid, I even challenged by stabbing back his gaze.

"Umm .. but I just got permission with a long time yesterday, don't know if it's allowed anymore" I said hesitantly bowing my head. Here and now my position is weakest and has no power to speak.

"The matter of Miss's permission need not worry, no matter how many days Miss's permission as long as it is on behalf of the Pradipta Family, the Headmaster will have no problem. Isn't that right, Mom?" resolute Assistant Yan rolled his eyes towards the Headmaster.

"Mrs Pradipta would be very sad if the event prepared specifically by Tuan Muda will not be attended by her favorite sister just because she did not get permission from the school, it can be estimated approximately what the impact," continued again.

"Yes-yes-yes-ji-if the Pradipta Family asks permission for Va-Vania, pa-there must be a reason," the Headmaster stuttered.

"Hey! Is this some kind of threat to the Principal?" I shouted in my heart, especially looking at the face pajas of the woman Assistant Yan spoke to.

"Miss Vania heard it clearly, didn't she? Now Miss can come with me" he said without hesitation.

"Cn .. eng ... I'll prepare clothes to take with me first" I said.

"There is no need to bring anything, all the needs of Miss have been provided there. We should leave immediately, Madam can't wait for Miss to come home, lest she be upset and known to Young Master, again of course the impact will not be good."

"Sister Litha is not a man-"

"Vania, you'd better leave now, all the subject matter you can't follow will be taken care of by Bu Burne, won't you, ma'am?" the Headmaster said persuading me, not .. not persuading but telling.

"I-yes, I will send the subject matter by email and I am sure it can be learned by Vania herself because she is a very smart student," said my homeroom teacher who had not voiced.

Although I was confused half-dead about the Headmaster's attitude but I just obeyed what they said. I went back to the room to pick up the phone and wallet followed by Assistant Yan, Principal and Bu Burne. They treated me like a prisoner who was about to escape.

As we were walking down the hallway, I ran into Serena's curly-haired gank friend, one of the people who bullied me in first grade. Even though I didn't see it because we turned our backs on each other, I knew she was watching me question mark and I thought the mouth of the bucket must be gaping wide in front of Serena's face gossiping about me.

.

My heart was nervous, sitting next to the man I met from the beginning made me rustle very uncomfortable. So agitated that my right thumb nail almost ran out of bitterness.

"Why?" my question was a little surprised as Assistant Yan pulled his car over the shoulder of the road.

"Sorry Miss, I'm just reminding you to change your appearance before we get home" she replied calmly.

Ah yes ... Currently I forgot still with geeky girl fashion. I shamelessly took off the wig in front of him.

I don't know why even though I didn't tell the story behind my appearance, I felt his sympathy gushing at me.

"Thank you for reminding me" I said awkwardly and a little nervous at a glance by him.

"Oh my God .. His smile was beautiful. Though last night I dreamt of a jackfruit crucifix instead of a duren, but now I'm very lucky to be able to see it from this close distance."

"Oh yes, why is the Headmaster like a buffalo poked his nose hearing the impact of Sister-in-law's annoyance?" ask me to switch the conversation and overcome the nervousness that is beating me non-stop.

Assistant Yan chuckled loudly, "Of course he keeps from getting upset let alone angry. Ray was known to the Young Master coldly and could not be upset. Right now the focus of the Master is on the Madam who is pregnant with her child. I just gave a little spice so that the arrogant character of the Headmaster could be broken. A person's arrogance can only be defeated by one who has an advantage over him. He's afraid you're gonna stop making donations every month for school."

He put his car back on the highway. Every now and then I steal a look at him, I love his style of driving a car, very manly.

"Donation? Sister-in-law donates to my school? How many?" cerocosku could not believe the words of Assistant Yan. The nervousness I felt was gone instantly changed with shock plus curiosity.

"Yes. The master deeply understands the flow of the foundation that owns the school and the social body. They rely heavily on donations and in particular schools it is common knowledge that the student who owns the largest donation will be more attentive. The big problem is how much, Miss can ask directly to Mr. .. which is clearly twice that of the main donor now."

"HUH!"

My eyes glared more in disbelief, "But why?" cecarku asked for a more detailed answer.

"Because the Madam once told you that Miss's presence at school is still a fruit of her mind. The master did not want anything to weigh on his beloved wife's mind, so the Master did this all and it managed to make the Madam no longer worry about Miss. Over the phone, the Headmaster promised to pay more attention and protect Miss."

"Wow! Is that Brother-in-law to my brother? Until it no longer counts the money spent on him." I was amazed at the seriousness of a man who tried to prove his love to a woman who was loved but had been hurt.

"The Lady is the only woman who can influence the mood of the respected and famously dominant Young Master Pradipta."

"Well, it deserves my sister to get Sister-in-law's love. Thankfully ... means the figure of the ex-lover Brother-in-law no longer need to worry."

The driver spontaneously looked at me. Our views met because for the umpteenth time I stole a glance at him, no doubt the nervousness that disappeared back present seeped into the heart.

"Oh yes, what house did Brother-in-law buy before belonged to the Wijaya Family?" ask me to divert the conversation as well as look towards the front. I can be sure my face is flushed, especially the cheeks.

"Yes. Any idea where that house belongs to the Wijaya Family?"

"Hmmppffhh .. good luck can be put aside," my mind is relieved.

"Hahahaha .. their beloved daughter was very upset that she could no longer occupy the most luxurious house in the city. It's like it's fallen into its image at school," I replied as I draped all my hair to the right side, deliberately.

"Beautiful Miss hair ... If I may give you some advice, on my return to school, show me who Miss is. No need to worry about anything, the highest caste for a student is now on Miss."

Nyess.

I stared at the road that kept rolling ahead. My tears almost burst upon hearing a line that sounded ordinary but to me it was incredible empathy without me asking, without me telling a story.

I smiled bitterly, but there was no harm in me considering that suggestion. I was already quite tired of role-playing and so very tired of pretending to be helpless when bullied. Now that I have the power, even though it is from someone else, it is enough to make me able to take off my wig and cuff and show me who I am, the girl in white and long black hair was jet-black with a reliable brain.
