Like other school children, Kenan also sat in a chair following the lesson quietly. He and Yuki are one class, but different classes.
Puk!
A paper roll about Kenan's head that was seriously summarizing the teacher's explanation. He had always been, otherwise he would not have gone to that elite school. Kenan must defend his scholarship.
The break bell rang, the teacher said goodbye after giving daily tasks to all the students in the class. Kenan was still sitting on his stool when Regan approached.
"You're not going to the cafeteria?" He patted his best friend on the shoulder, Kenan flinching on a piece of paper in hand.
"What else is this?" Regan took the paper in Kenan's hand and read it, "what are they asking you to do in the back yard of the school?" he asked after reading the paper.
"I don't know. You know, as hard as I can avoid trouble, but it came to me alone. I don't know what else to do? They're going to do it again" Kenan complained. He dropped his head on the table, his back rose slowly and descended back quickly.
Double pat on his back as support from a friend. Kenan himself did not understand why the rich people in the school, always make trouble with him. I told him this and that, asked him to do this and it was like a servant.
"You can turn them down if you want to, man! Just tell me you don't like them doing that. All this time you were too weak and easily bullied. Actually not because it is easy to be oppressed or deserve to be denigrated, but because you let them bully and humble yourself" said Regan who immediately raised blood clot in Kenan's brain.
The blood reacted, giving a strange surge to all parts of Kenan's body. Buried courage, confidence and confidence slowly rose from within his heart. The fear, anxiety, weakness, and resigned nature that he always had also gradually released from his body.
Not because it is easy to oppress or deserves to be denigrated, but because you let them oppress and humiliate you.
Regan's words were ringing in her ears. Every word her friend spoke danced in her little brain.
Kenan stood up with a different aura. There was determination in his eyes, there was courage in his line of face.
"You're right, I can refuse if I don't want to. I will no longer let them bully me let alone humiliate me." He dropped a sharp glint on the stunned Regan beside him.
Kenan smiled, his body turned to face the friend who was still sculpting it. He patted Regan on the shoulder and grabbed her body.
"Thank you, man! Thank you!" he said as he patted Regan's back a little strongly.
"Awh .. le-let go! You hold me too tight, Kenan? As tight as possible!" He retreated with a gasp of breath when Kenan took off his embrace. His hand held the chest that felt tight.
"Oh .. My heart! Are you okay in there?" lebay said. His fingers gripped the chest, slightly squeezing it when the pain was still felt.
"Am I really too strong? I did it as usual" Kenan said confusedly. He looked at his hands, there were some veins that were slightly protruding and clearly bluish.
"What's wrong with you, Kenan? Did you experience a miracle after jumping off the roof of the school building yesterday?" asked Regan who was slowly normalizing her heart.
Kenan himself is still confused. He did not know, and indeed did not feel any effect. Remembering the ashtray he squeezed into ashes last night.
"Regan, you know? Last night I even squeezed a ceramic ashtray and. I didn't realize it, maybe it was just a coincidence because it's fragile to age." Remembering the bucket he broke while washing.
What if Auntie finds out? He will be scolded. Regan turned her head when she heard the story.
"So ashes? You sure it was a coincidence?" pekik Regan can't believe it. The look on his face stiffened as he imagined how strong Kenan was when squeezing the ashtray.
"Come on!" Kenan did not say, he took Regan out of class and went to the usual place they were sitting together. School garden, under a shady mango tree.
"Henner!" The distinctive female voice made both of them look up.
"Yuki-yuki!" Kenan stammered suddenly.when, it was fine. Regan frowned seeing Yuki standing carrying a drink in hand.
"Here, you must be thirsty. I bought it for you on purpose." Yuki gave Kenan a drink.
Falling jaw Regan sees Yuki's attention to her friend.
"A-what's i-this?" tanyanya has not yet wanted to receive a drink from Yuki.
"This is for you, drinks. Just fruit juice, I bought it for you. Accept it!" Yuki gave the juice in her hand to Kenan. With trembling hands Kenan grasped the glass of juice.
Yuki smiled, it made Kenan even more nervous. A rough sweat sprung up on his forehead uninvited. Regan who saw was used to it. He thought that with the change of self, his stuttering would change, but it turned out that the disease was ingrained in Kenan's body.
"Hey, you didn't buy me either?!" exclaimed Regan did not accept why Kenan even got the attention of the prima donna girl.
"You can buy it yourself if you want!" He shouted back as he passed and disappeared inside the school building.
Regan snorted, she stared in disbelief at Kenan who was still grasping the juice glass with trembling hands.
"Heh .. You're lucky to get his attention. Teddi's the one after him, he didn't notice at all. What's wrong with you so you can get Yuki's attention?" He cursed in the heart.
"Look, just now your hands didn't stop shaking. What if he kisses you?" Kenan. Almost fell a glass of juice in her hand if Regan didn't catch on.
"Wah .. it's a pity, but Yuki gave it to her with great care, but you wasted it instead. Let me have a drink." Regan put the drink on her lips. However, before he fused with those lips, Kenan grabbed him as fast as lightning.
"It's mine! It's good, he said you could buy it yourself. That's a meaning." Kenan flicked his lips while taking a seat beside Regan.
Hmh!
Regan screeched, she turned away as Kenan deliberately mocked her.
"Here, you're gonna try it, aren't you? I'll leave it for you." Kenan gave the juice to Regan. Pretty good, half left.
"Ah .. You are my best friend! I can buy this juice if I want, but it's different." Regan sipped the juice up the toilet.
Kenan snorted, he got up and just left Regan.
"Hey! Wait, why did you leave me!" Regan hustling followed. Mutual snoring and bragging have become their habits.
"There's a sports clock, are you gonna miss it again?" regan asked after he caught up.
"I don't know, I'm not very good at sports. What's more basketball, I'll just watch it," he said it's always like that.
Regan pats Kenan on the shoulder, they part. Kenan goes to the field to watch, while Regan goes to the dressing room for practice. In the corner of the audience seat, Kenan sat alone in the corner. Waiting for Regan who will practice a match with the others.
"Hen?" Yuki's voice made the teenager shrouded in nervousness. Why is it always so sudden.
"Yu-yuki? Y-you want to watch ju-also?" tanyanya. Sweat just poured out with a lot.
"Mmm .. Yeah, I want to watch. Can I sit here?" Yuki's hand pointed at the chair beside Kenan.
Confused, what to do. Of course throughout the game, Kenan will be restless and will not be able to enjoy the game.
"I-iya, bo-get." Stuttered he spoke. It made Yuki squash himself. He sat side by side with the teenager. Teasing Kenan becomes his own entertainment for him. I don't know why he likes it when Kenan talks stuttering.
"Mmm... Are you going to take your sister home first?" Kenan nodded in response to Yuki's question.
"In that case, I'll drive along. It's okay, isn't it? Because in the afternoon I want to take a walk and you drive" Yuki said.
"But, I-I ha-have to be-work after dropping you off pu-home." Yuki snorted, annoyed and resentful.
"Don't I tell you, you're gonna work for me. Forget about your job and start working for me today" Yuki quickly replied.
"You can think about it until we get home. So, decide quickly." He grabbed Kenan's shoulder. Something rippled in him. Kenan turned his face red.
Ah, what is this feeling? I felt it for the first time.
Shuts!
Hup!
A round object floated towards them, precisely eyeing Kenan's face. Tension ensued between everyone as the ball stopped right before Kenan's face.
