THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
XXIV Parts

Some students who did not fill out the event took pictures using a mobile phone for mementos. Via also took pictures after washing his swollen face due to crying.

"Eh, do you feel that someone is absent?" ask Mita.

"I know 36 of our class were all present. You were the last one here with Doni?" answer Ratna.

"Not our class, but class XII IPA-3."

"Anyone is absent? I don't know many IPA-3 kids, anyway" Via said.

"I know who is not present today" Dina chimed in.

"Who, Din?" ask Ratna curiously.

"What you call a jellyfish, Aurelia," Dina replied quickly.

"Why else is that boy? Do you want to create a sensation?" ratna muttered.

"I heard he had an accident" said Mita.

Ratna. Via also showed the same expression as Ratna.

"When? How is the condition of jellyfish?"

Ratna could not help her curiosity.

"Yesterday afternoon. He drove his own car, hit a tree by the road" Mita said.

"Can't you?"

"Listen to hear he broke a tire. While he drove the car at a high speed. Said the person who looked, his speed was likely above 80. The road conditions are a bit slippery again," added Dina.

"You know who it is from?"

"Our cousin is a nurse. He was placed in the IGD. He happened to be a lunch picket. He's taking care of Lia. He said Lia's condition was pretty severe. The external wound is quite a lot because it was exposed to broken glass. His right hand is cracked."

"Friends already on know yet?"

"If IPA-3 might have been."

"How about we go to Lia's hospital?" proposal Via.

"Aren't you the same kid, Vi?" ask Mita.

"Emang her behavior sucks. But right now, he is suffering. What's wrong with us looking?"

"Honestly, Vi, I'm males. Just look at his face I'm tired. Especially his behavior. It feels like the peeper is not bending his face until the bonyok," said Ratna in flames.

"Don't do it, Rat! It's not good to have a grudge."

"Ouch, Vi. Now your talk is like a sweet fairy, anyway?" Ratna was getting upset.

"I learned a lot from Mother. Besides, I also reflect on my experience yesterday. When I was in an accident and hospitalized, many of my nengokin. Not just our class. Other classes too. In fact, there were X and XI grade children as well. Your arrival and others mean a lot to me. I'm more excited to heal."

"That's because you're a good person. That's why there's so much empathy for you, nengokin you," Ratna grumbled.

"Some, is that Lia bezuk you? I'm sure not," sambar Dina.

"Indeed, no, anyway. Maybe he didn't get to, or..."

"Or maybe she's scared too" Mita cut.

"Fearful? Scared why? Am I scary? My face is not hurt."

"He was afraid that his secret would be exposed, Marimar," Ratna said.

"What secret?" Confused via.

"I suspect he had something to do with the man who hit you at the time. It could be the jellyfish person behind the accident that hit you. He doesn't like you."

"Ratna, as long as there's no evidence we can't recriminate."

"Ratna is not suspicious, but suspicious. Ratna's suspicions are reasonable in my opinion," said Dina.

"It's possible that Lia got karma for her crimes. Via sincere case was closed because the perpetrator is not recognized and difficult to disclose. The only witness, Doni, also did not clearly see the man as he was traveling at high speed. CCTV is not. I'm sure God guided us" Mita added.

"Already. O yes, where do you want to go to college?" Via tried to divert the conversation.

Ratna was silent for a moment. He said, "I actually want S-1 dentistry. But I have to be realistic. It costs too much. Maybe I just take the D3. What are you, Vi? Ah, I forgot, you want to get into medicine."

Via just smiled. I don't know why suddenly there was a doubt poisoning his mind.

As Via and his friends chatted, some of the parents and guardians of the students had already left. They are also preparing to welcome their parents to know their UN values. Via of course not.

"I borrow Via, for a moment. Somebody wants me to talk about it. Can you?" Doni was standing next to Via.

"Nor long papa. Please, don't hesitate," replied Ratna casually.

Doni signals Via to stay away. The girl complied with Doni's will.

"Sorry, Vi. I want to say something to you. Soon we will make a choice for college. I don't know if we're still together. Before we part, there's something you need to know."

Via looked at Doni in wonder.

"What's wrong with you, Don? How complicated are your words. Usually you are a test.tes.gitu if you say.

Doni was silent for a moment. He took a deep breath and threw it away violently. He turned his face away.

"Via, I've actually been interested in you for a long time. I admire everything that you have. But, all this time I was afraid to reveal all this. I'm afraid you're angry. Today, I round out my resolve to say frankly to you. Even if you refuse, please don't hate me."

Again Doni breathed out violently as if he was releasing his burden.

Via smiled at Doni who looked groggy.

"Thank you, Don. You are one of my best friends. You help me often. How could I hate you?"

Doni looked at Via as if in disbelief.

"La...then how do you answer?"

"Answer? What are you asking?"

Doni. He's a little frustrated.

"Can he act like this? I had gathered all my courage to express my feelings, still being tested," said Doni inwardly.

"Will you be my companion, my lover? I am not a romantic person, expressing my heart using poetry or giving flowers. Here's my. I just want to know if you feel the same way or not."

"I'm sorry, Don. I owe you a lot. You're so good to me. However, it is clear that at this time I want to concentrate on my education. I don't have any special feelings for a guy. Again, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Don't be angry, yeah!" reply Via.

Doni nods. His heart felt empty. Actually, he wanted to express his disappointment. However, there was no way she would cry.

"It's okay, Vi. The important thing is that I am relieved to have spoken my feelings to you. You still think I'm a friend, don't you?"

"of course. We already know each other. Our time must be hostile?"

Suddenly a teary-eyed guy had stood by them and was staring at Doni sharply.

"Dek Via is sought after. Can we go home now?"

"Mas Farhan? How come it's here?"

"Of course because my mother told me to pick me up. Wasn't it my dad's delivery this morning?"

"O yes. I'm done too, though. I'll go home first, Don."

"Be careful, Via."

"No need to tell him so. I'll take care of him, really" said Farhan coldly. Farhan's gaze was hard to interpret.

Doni's confused. He didn't know why Farhan was acting like that.

***

Wehs...Wehs... Why is Mamas' attitude like this? Then, will Doni stay away from Via?

Keep following, yeah!
