"As for Yola, the punishment is..."
There was a pause that made everyone tense up. Some people wanted Yola to stay with them to give them a second chance. However, many also regretted Yola's attitude and actions that had gone too far. Meanwhile, Yola is also very nervous. She didn't think that anyone would find out about the truth. It is beyond expectation. Her position is getting more precarious.
"Yola's punishment is... Yola was expelled from the SEB of the Faculty of Economics..."
Everyone was shocked, especially Yola. She didn't expect this to have such a bad effect on her.
"But... but..." Yola wanted to say something, but the committee forbade her. Once again, the committee must tell the participants to remain calm.
"And for the action of planning bad behavior and threatening one of the members of the SEB of the Faculty of Economics named Airin along with her friends, it will be reported to the college for follow-up because this is an action that has exceeded the limit. For related parties who are witnesses, it is expected to work the same as SRC to report this case to the college The decision is fixed and cannot be contested," said the committee then knocked on the hearing hammer as a sign that the decision had been made.
Yola couldn't hold back her tears. She didn't think this would reach the college. She does not know what punishment will be given to the college. Yola couldn't imagine it. The worst thing is that she will be expelled from college. Now her name has been tarnished. She wept regretfully. While the others seemed to be whispering about it.

The hearing was finally over. SEB members of the Faculty of Economics will go home soon because next week is the last week of exams for several majors before the holidays start. Many regretted Yola's attitude and actions. All this time, everyone thought that Yola was a good girl. Even many were amazed by Yola's kindness. Who would have thought that Yola was like this? Now everyone looks down on Yola.
Yola went straight home as soon as the hearing was over. She couldn't stand what other people said. Yola was not ready to be judged. She didn't think long. She immediately went home and cried in her room.
As for Ardilo, he gathered with Ervan, Stefa, Airin, Yuna, Alex, Hano, Yania, and Taera in the park near the courtroom earlier. They want to discuss the continuation of the court's decision earlier.
"Here, drink first. I also buy food for you," said Yuna, who brought some food and drinks with Stefa.
"How are you, Stef? Is it okay with the decision?" Ervan asked.
"It's okay. Don't worry. I'm still grateful I wasn't expelled from the SEB. When it comes to community service, I'm happy. I can fill my vacation," said Stefa while distributing food.
"Don't worry, you're not alone, Stef," said Ardilo.
"I'm ready to help, Stef," said Hano, then smiled at Stefa, who was distributing food to Hano.
Hano's smile made Stefa's face turn red.
"Oh, it's been a while," said Alex, who was greeted with a small laugh from Ardilo. He remembered when he was still with Taera.
"It's just been made up. You've been around for a while, Han," said Yuna.
"Please, don't be like that," said Stefa, who was shy.
"Yes, I don't know if Stefa wants to date me or not. How about if she likes someone else?" asked Hano.
"He likes you, Hano. Really, since high school," Taera said, which finally made Stefa spontaneously pat Taera's arm. While Taera just whined a sign of apology.
"Wow, you're crazy. It's been a long time," said Alex. Yuna nodded in agreement.
"Come on, don't talk about that. The purpose of our gathering here is to talk about the continuation of the hearing," said Stefa, embarrassed because she was teased. While Hano just smiled because he was happy.
"That's right, I forgot about it," said Ardilo.
"Sorry to disturb, I... I'll just go home," said Airin, who felt uncomfortable. Not because of Ardilo's gang chatter, but because she felt bad for the others after finding out that it was Airin who reported Stefa's actions to SRC and got Stefa punished.
"No, Airin. Just stay here. The exam is over. Let's hang out first," said Yuna.
"Yeah, Rin, just relax with us," said Stefa, who was greeted by another nod.
Airin then lowered her head. Suddenly her tears fell. Everyone is shocked.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Taera asked.
"Why are you crying? Are you okay, Rin?" Ervan asked.
"I... I'm sorry. It is all because of me. I reported it to SRC, and it all ended like this," Airin answered while sobbing.
Yuna wiped Airin's tears. Alex then gave Airin a drink to calm her down. After a while, Airin stopped crying.
"Rin, it's not your fault. I know you had to. Even before there was a recording of the incident in the toilet, my friends and I already knew," said Yania.
Airin was shocked. It's mean that they know what happened to her.
"Yania is right. We have never blamed you. We know your position. Don't worry, we will help solve it, okay," said Ardilo.
"That's right. I've never been angry with you. I was also wrong because I was rash. We're fine. Don't worry either. We have to fight to continue to live better. We know you have a problem, and we have agreed that we will help you, okay," said Stefa, then smiled. Stefa's eye smile stunned everyone.
Airin looked touched. She then hugged Stefa, "Thank you very much, Stef. Thank you to everyone."
"Yes, you're welcome," said Stefa, then released Airin's arms.
"Okay, now let's talk while enjoying the food," said Yania.
"So, what's the next plan, bro?" Ervan asked.
"Furthermore, we will look for a replacement for Yola. We will hold close recruitment next week. After that, we can solve Airin's problem. We have to get rid of bullying in our college," Ardilo replied.
"Okay..."

Yola cries in her room. She didn't know it would end like this. Soon there was an impatient knock on Yola's door.
"Yola, get out of here!" said someone knocking on the door.
Some of the boarding girls, who were starting to get annoyed, shouted at Yola to get out of her room. Yola immediately opened the door. It turned out that they were Yola's friends.
"Why are you guys angry?" asked Yola, whose eyes were puffy from crying.
"You think we don't know? The students say that we will be reported to the college. It is all because of your orders. We will say that this is all your fault. If we get punishment from the college, we will not let you just let it go," said one of Yola's friends.
"But guys, all of you want to help me because you're my friends, right? You're my friends," said Yola, who was already wanting to cry again.
"Friends? If it's like this, there is no such thing as a friend. Come on, let's get it out," said another and then left Yola's room.
Another boarding house occupant who felt uncomfortable and Yola's boarding house owner who witnessed this immediately came to Yola after Yola's friends left.
"Yola, from now on, you get out of this boarding house. I will return the rest of your boarding house money. Immediately you pack your things," said the boarding house owner and continued to leave Yola's room.
Yola's other boarding friends talk about Yola. They already know Yola's real behavior. They did not think that Yola was two-faced. Meanwhile, Yola wept more about what happened today. There is no other choice but to accept this harsh reality. The consequences of everything she did.
