Wagering
Traumatizing

Fabian knows, wherever he is, his presence will always be the center of attention.

Even so, he was still not used to receiving gazes from the people he passed along along the way to the Blue faculty. Instead of being flattered, he felt skinned.

Normally, there were other members of Pain Killer by his side. So when those gazes were fixed, he could manipulate his own mind that they were directed not to him, but to his friends.

But now, as he came alone, Fabian was forced to work harder to convince himself that those people were not talking about him.

Although finally all the positive affirmations that he said to himself were instantly gone when one sentence was heard from the whispers of people around.

"Fabian came here to do something? Tumben is alone?"

"You want to find the target bet anyway? I hear they're a new target."

"The target is from our faculty?"

"Gue hear that?"

"Well, crazy! I guess they want to try all the students here one by one, right?"

"Gue suspected for a long time they would also deketin a young lecturer."

"But Fabian is so handsome? I guess, if I were the target of the bet, I wouldn't think long to say yes."

"It's not just you who think that. Everyone at this college and knows how Pain Killer's reputation is, definitely won't think twice about receiving a date from them, even if only for the next month."

"Crazy, even though we already know they're red flags, but why do you still like them?"

And there were still many other grapevine that entered his ears, but Fabian tried not to bring it into the head for further processing.

The move he swung wide finally brought him to the front of the Blue classroom. From the opening of the door, he saw the girl sitting alone in one of the chairs while playing with a cell phone.

Trying to keep up the manners, Fabian put a few knocks to the door, causing Blue to raise his gaze towards him. The girl smiled, so sweet that she felt her sweetness could make her suffer from diabetes instantly.

Not welcome to enter, Fabian instead found Blue rising from his seat while carrying a sling bag and carrying a can of soft drinks that had been photographed, walking towards him.

The girl's smile still did not fade even when her figure had been right before her. And, Fabian had no choice but to return that smile even if it was just that.

"Now" a can of drink was thrust towards him.

Since he knew about the drink, Fabian immediately accepted it, looking at the note that was still there before pulling it out and putting it in his jacket pocket.

"Thanks," he said, while lifting the drink cans as the chest and then opened and immediately downed the contents of a little— as a form of appreciation to Blue who would bother buying him the drink.

"By the way," Fabian kept the can of drink away from his lips, then looked at Blue fixedly. "Why did you suddenly turn off the phone?" tanyakanya. He was still confused because Blue suddenly disconnected the phone.

It's nothing, Fabian was just afraid that Blue hung up the phone turned out to cry as much as herself. Because even though the cover Blue was trying to show everyone was her tough, untouchable self, Fabian still knows that Blue is actually just a fragile girl who needs a place to lean her turbid head.

"Ah ... my hape battery is out." Blue reasons.

Fabian did not believe it, but he decided to nod his head so that there was no need to prolong the conversation about why the phone was turned off. Because he has something more important to say.

"Gue accompany you to eat at the Beautiful place again," he said, after drinking the canned drink of Blue once again. "When you want, just tell me. I'll go straight to samperin lo to anterin you get there."

The girl before him smiled meaningfully. The kind of smile he hadn't seen in a long time from those around him. A smile that made her feel guilty for having to continue her deal with Baskara and the other members of Pain Killer to be able to make Blue her boyfriend in the next three weeks.

At a meeting held at headquarters yesterday, they had agreed that the deadline for Fabian to make Blue his girlfriend was three weeks. No more if they want to be considered successful bets. Can't even pass even if it's just a minute or two.

Fabian is not a typical who will suddenly step back if he has already advanced, so he will launch the action until the end. While praying hopefully on their way later, none of him or Blue fell in love. Because that would just make everything runyam.

Their conversation continued more. They walked hand in hand out of the classroom, towards the cafeteria of the Faculty of Letters which of course attracted more attention.

"Lo is this famous, huh?" tanya Blue, began to carry out her role as an innocent girl who knew nothing.

One hand moved into his pants pocket, only for him to clench tightly inside there to withstand the uncomfortable turmoil that re-emerged in his chest as the whispers heard by his ears began to change with something that he clearly knew was just his imagination.

"Look, deh. Fabian doesn't have a father."

"Fabian's mother was spooky, like a witch."

"Kok Fabian never picked up again with his mother? How do the nannies keep going anyway?"

"Tell my mama, Fabian's an illegitimate child."

The further his steps swung, Fabian felt the whispers of halu he heard getting louder and more disturbing. Even clenching his hands tightly and clutching the backstrap that he had only sipped on one side of the shoulder was already unable to ease the discomfort.

Can't do. It can't last much longer in these conditions. And, he also could not have let Blue smell the suspicious gelagat it.

And so, just before they arrived at the canteen of the Faculty of Letters, Fabian stopped his steps. Which of course was also followed by Blue who then cast a look of astonishment at him.

"Is there a problem?" ask Blue.

Fabian tried to make a smile even without him knowing, his face was now very pale. "I think I should unplug it now. I forgot I had a friend's appointment to discuss something." He said, trying to suppress the uncomfortable feeling so as not to affect the tone of his voice.

Confusion clearly emanated from both of Blue's eyeballs, but Fabian did not have enough time to convince the girl that everything was fine and she just needed to go see her friends immediately.

So without waiting until Blue nodded her head, or even asked a question that would give her more headaches, Fabian turned around, swinging a quick step to escape the frightening feeling that could swallow him alive.

...****************...

It turned out, his legs were already not that strong for him to bring back to the Engineering Faculty. So instead of him exposing his mess to the crowd, Fabian decided to cover the toilet at the Satra Faculty, after he found there were not too many people in the area.

Fabian immediately went into the last room, turned the key twice and sat himself on the closed closet.

With a flippant gesture, Fabian reached into his bag, looking around for the little thing he had always carried everywhere since the past four years.

After tearing up his bag until some of the contents in it scattered out, Fabian finally found what he was looking for. It is a small bottle of white in which there are dozens of grains of tranquilizers.

The bottle then he opened the lid, for then he took out a medicine and immediately he swallowed without using the help of air—just rely on saliva is not much.

Fabian closed his eyes for a moment, raising his head so that his head could lean against the back bathroom wall.

The voices he heard began to slowly pull over as the effects of the medicine began to work. His breathing also began to gradually regularize, even with his heartbeat that no longer beat like the beating of a war drum.

Feeling quite calm, Fabian straightened his head back along with his eyes that slowly opened. Then, he picked up one by one the objects that fell from inside his bag earlier. Everything can be put back into the bag, except for one thing that he even looked at for a long time.

It was her favorite butterfly lighters. One of the mandatory things that he will always carry in addition to the bottle of tranquilizer earlier.

As he has said, the lighter he made his own design, while the application of the design was done by someone who is quite important in his life. Someone who helped him rise up, and made him believe that his presence in the world was not a mistake.

That person is Doctor Abraham, a psychiatrist who has accompanied the ups and downs of his life journey for many years. Had it not been for the man, Fabian might have given himself up to his mother, to be killed and wiped out of this deceitful world.

In an instant, the name and face of Doctor Abraham had successfully invaded all parts of his brain, made him suddenly miss the figure of the man and intend to visit the clinic where the man works because it has been the last few weeks he did not come there.

Since Doctor Abraham was not someone who had a lot of free time, and he knew enough to not come arbitrarily, Fabian immediately pulled out his phone to set up a schedule with the man.

After sending the message, Fabian put the phone back in his pants pocket and immediately got up from his seat.

The toilet door opened, then he tilted his head slightly to check if anyone was outside. And when he found no one, Fabian immediately came out of the toilet and widened his pace to get to the Faculty of Engineering before his first class began.

Unfortunately, due to being too hasty, Fabian instead accidentally dropped a medicine bottle that he had not properly put into his bag. So that the bottle is now changing hands after it was found by someone who had noticed his movements.

"Report, Boss. I found something new about the boy." Said someone, who was a male student, to someone by phone.
