The Heart of Vania
Sanctioned

This room became a courtroom for me. Yes, I admitted wrongly hurt the golden student at this school, whatever sanctions I had to accept.

Clickable.

The door of the principal's room was opened from the outside, the pias face of Kak Litha there with sweat on his temple, I guess he must have run towards here.

"I'm sorry for my delay. I've been trying to get here as soon as possible from the capital." Kak Litha's voice paused from taking a breath.

"Please sit down, Wali Pupil Vania," said the Headmaster, inviting the piercing look of Serena's parents.

"Thank you" said Litha before sitting next to me.

"Nia, is it true that the Headmaster said?"

Brother Litha looked at me in disbelief after hearing the words from the Headmaster that told me I hit Serena in the face. I know that behind the shocked face and the eyes that bought her heart must have been broken to find her little sister acting like a thug, but do they know who the real thugs are.

"Sorry, Brother. I did hit him, but it's because"

"Whatever the reason is not allowed to hit a woman's face. Does this school teach its students to be thugs?" hardik Mr. Wijaya, his voice is enough to shrink my guts and make me bow.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wijaya. I am less educated. I'll educate him even harder" said Bu Burne, my homeroom teacher who has stood by my side since the beginning.

"I'm sorry, sir. As her guardian I pay less attention to my sister so her attitude is not controlled." Brother Litha immediately apologized by bowing his head.

"Well! What with an apology can solve everything? I'm asking for blood, blows, but I don't want this sneer to ruin the reputation of the school where I'm the main donor,"

Again Mr. Wijaya rebuked arrogantly, this time even pointed at my face.

"So– get him out!" pointed again.

WHAT'S!!!

Everyone was shocked except Serena and her mother.

"Sorry sir, is this not excessive?" ask Bu Burne.

"How's Principal's Mother?" Instead of answering my homeroom question, Mr. Wijaya asked the Headmaster instead. In fact, he only signaled to show how much power he had, including controlling the Headmaster.

"Ah ya–" the Headmaster raised his voice awkwardly.

"DON'T!" shouted Brother Litha suddenly, "I beg you not to remove Vania from this school Principal Mother. I will watch and educate him harder. We will accept all punishment as long as Vania stays in school here." Pinta Litha pleaded.

Of course I was surprised. Even if I'm wrong, I'm ready to accept the sanctions, including getting kicked out and I'm going to be cheering for escaping the shackles of this sickening school.

"Sorry, Litha. We can't do anything about it because Serena is the victim here. So his parents have the right to determine the sanctions that will be given," the Headmaster said timidly looking at Mr. Wijaya.

"What! Since when is the school decision given to the student guardian? Aishh .. turned out the Principal was very afraid of losing a donation from his father Serena. Although in the end I was expelled but at least it was the decision of the Headmaster not the guardian of the disciple! What kind of school is this!" my grumbling holds back anger.

"Tuan–" Litha slowly approached towards Serena and her parents who were sitting across from us, "Please, reconsider Mr. I know my sister is guilty of hurting Miss Serena's heart and face, but we ask the generosity of Mr and Mrs to forgive us by not removing Vania from this school. I beg you, Sir," said Litha bowed.

My heart was hot to see Brother Litha pleading, both my hands reflexively grasping each other firmly.

"Huhah! Did you really beg?"

"Of course, sir, with sincerity and humility I apologize."

"Show me that!" ketus Nyonya Wijaya with the view of humbling Kak Litha.

Seen Kak Litha was confused by Serena's mother's intentions. Ah, my brother is clever but very innocent.

"Kneel down to show your sincerity" said the Headmaster.

Brother Litha looks rather surprised. I knew in my heart he refused.

"Ba– alright. Forgive me for not understanding what Mrs Wijaya meant, "said Kak Litha, as soon as she knelt before them, "Lord and Lady Wijaya and Miss Serena, please forgive our mistake. I will educate her even harder and I promise Vania will not repeat her mistake."

Now not only is my heart heating up but my eyes and mind are also getting hot.

Silent.

"I beg ..." Kak Litha's voice trembled, seen him rubbing his cheeks. His heart and pride were left trampled by the money slaves, feeling very sick but helpless.

I can't accept my biological brother being humiliated like that. Not yet had my voice come out, Mr. Wijaya had said, "As long as you know, you are a burden on the family. It is fitting that your parents do not want to be present now, hehehehe ... As a wise man I will forgive you on condition. First, your sister should get the same blow from my daughter, secondly, she will also receive the toughest sanction from the school, she said, and lastly you as his guardian must make a statement stating that you are willing if once again your sister harasses my daughter, so without warning the Headmaster will immediately remove him from the school with a letter of recommendation as a student behaving badly that will be sent to all schools in City A. You willing?"

I was stifled to hear who he was easily managing my future. What is only because as the main donor in this foundation he became arbitrary, even the highest leader in this school became toothless toothless toothless.

Silent.

It was obvious that there was disappointment, fear and despair on Kak Litha's face staring at me. He seemed to be asking for answers from me, no matter how forced my brother was, he knew to what extent he could interfere with his sister's life. For a moment I was glued to see him - his hope and spirit as he led me into this school first faded - tears were flowing without being wiped away. But I still flinch at the chair with the grip of an increasingly powerful hand.

"I'm ready, Mr. Wijaya. Please if Serena wants to take a hit on my face and I am also ready to accept the sanction that will be given from the school to me. Likewise with the affidavit, my brother will sign it as my guardian."

"Mrs ...."

Brother Litha and Bu Burne called my name at the same time. They didn't expect me to be this confident deciding something for myself. If I were old enough, I wouldn't need a guardian for my every action. What I do is a responsibility and a consequence of my own actions.

"God! You should teach your sister the manners to be humble. Ckckck," said Mrs Wijaya to Mrs Litha who was still on her knees.

"Sir, stand. This matter is over." I said approaching Litha and grabbed her body to wake up.

"It is enough that you kneel down to humble yourself, brother. I will never let you kneel down again for any reason!"

"You!" Lord Vijaya rebuked me, but I did not tremble at all.

"Nia ..." sizzled Brother Litha in my ear.

"I'm ready to take a hit." I volunteered in front of Serena, strangely she just looked unhappy.

PLAQUE.

Serena didn't hit me but slapped me, like women in general who chose to slap rather than hit. The slap was strong enough that my cheek felt hot and sore. Serena's hands were also flushed, meaning that my cheeks and hands were both sore and we were equally proud to show pain.

Dispatched for one month.

I, Brother Litha and Bu Burne gasped at the sanctions imposed on me. A different reaction was shown by the Wijaya Family, they were very happy that they managed to stick their nails in the Headmaster's mouth.

"But the Headmaster's Mother ... The longest suspension time in our school is two weeks. Why is Vania suspended for a month? Didn't he already receive any punishment other than a suspension?" I don't accept my homeroom.

"Sorry Mrs Burne, a one-month suspension is worth the disgraceful deeds done by Vania. It's much better than he was expelled from this school and it will also be a warning to other students to better take care of their behavior. Isn't that right, Mr Wijaya?"

"It seems they were not taught how to be grateful by their parents. Just look now, given a heart for a heart, cih!"

"Sorry Mr. Wijaya, you shouldn't say that. Their father is gone, I hope you can be a little empathetic" my homeroom teacher said.

I could feel him holding back the anger in his tone. Not only did Bu Burne feel it, my chest also went up in flames. But Brother Litha held my arm as I wanted to release anger at the rotten old man.

"Oh, it's appropriate," muttered Madam Wijaya insultingly.

"Alright, Ma. Let's just go. I'm already hot here" Serena said, taking her parents away, but she approached me earlier and whispered, "As soon as you get back from your suspension, I don't want to see you show off your hair and skin because I'm so piqued by it. Remember that! You can't bother me, if you still want to go to school, hehehe ...."

I really was tested for patience by this snake woman, at this time she still had time to provoke me. Brother Litha understood it by rubbing my arm.

"Mother Principal, why did you do that? Vania has the same rights as Serena as a student at this school. Not that Mr. Wijaya is the main donor he can influence the internal decisions of the school. Even Mother did not take the matter first to the teacher's board meeting to determine the sanctions that Vania would receive. It's not fair, ma'am." Bu Burne protested after the Wijaya Family came out of the Principal's room.

"Don't be a bad luck hero, Miss Burne. I only shortened the time, after all, if this matter was closed to the teacher's board, the sanctions were not much different. Their decision remains the same, Vania will still be suspended."

"But not a month, ma'am. It weighs 2 weeks at most and there is no need for that ridiculous affidavit. This will only make Serena more arbitrary to her friends. It's not like this is how we educate our students, ma'am."

"So you don't think I'm good at leading this school? Who do you think your salary is being paid by, huh! This is a private school with some of its operational costs supported by donors. The foundation needs a donor, and I'll be held accountable if a donor like Mr. Wijaya stops his donation before his daughter graduates."

Bu Burne could not refute the Headmaster's words, because the fact was that.

"Once again forgive us, Principal Mother and Mrs Burne. I'll take Vania home now to begin her suspension period. Thank you for your wisdom," said Litha bitterly before saying goodbye.

"What wisdom? You hypocrite! He was just afraid of being fired from his post for not being able to keep that rotten donor. It's smart that he licks, huh!"

I cursed so upset in my heart. Right now I do not have the power to resist let alone refute, but if one day the fair fate sided with me, it would be like that the Headmaster of the Hypocritical School was licking at me until his saliva never dried up.
