Previous episode:
"Ah, sorry," said Jupi slowly looking at a student in front of him. Jupi's eyes turned to look at his arm which had a red ribbon, which meant he was an organization administrator.
The boy who stood in front of him was no stranger to Jupi's eyes, because he had seen it during student orientation. Jupi looked at his name tag. Daniel Surya Anjas Marbun. Yes, he is the student council president of Universe Senior High School. Already in 11th grade, one year higher than the two of them who are still 10th grade seniors.
"What did you say?" Ask Anjas. "Sorry?" Anjas repeated rejecting Jupi's body.
Jupi was silent, because he didn't know what his mistake was why Anjas had to act like this.
"Answer me when I say!" Timpal Anjas raised his voice. Making the students in the cafeteria turn to stare.
"Sorry, Senior. I'm sorry, Jupi didn't mean to," said Zion holding Jupi's arm and looking at Anjas.
Anjas smiled wryly, looking at Junior sharply.
"What's Lo's name?" Anjas asked looking at Zion.
"Zion," Zion answered slowly, putting a scared face on Anjas.
Indeed, Anjas is known to be fierce to all the students. Do not hesitate to punish if you violate school rules. This student has been trusted by the principal to be the administrator of the organization, making this school a good one.
"Lick my shoes! Because you dared to defend this friend of yours, and he easily apologized!" Said Anjas emphasizing his words, making Jupi and Zion widen their eyes.
"Ta-tapi,"
"What the hell! You can't do this! In that case, you can choose between the two of you who will budge!" continued Anjas approaching in front of them while making the cappuccino that Anjas was holding.
Zion looked at Jupi. In fact, inside Jupi's heart was already screaming loudly at Anjas who was arbitrarily.
"Leave me alone," Zion said quietly.
At that moment, Zion lowered his head to do as Anjas said. Anjas smiled wryly, standing with his arms folded across his chest.
"What the hell!" Jupi said rejecting Zion's body. "You don't have to be stupid to be a person. You have self-respect!" Jupi continued more firmly, looking at Zion annoyed.
"And Lo! You don't have to be arbitrarily here, just because you're the student council president and you can be with my friends as much as you want!" Jupi said, sharpening his gaze towards Anjas.
"Are you brave with me?" Anjas asked no less fiercely, staring at Jupi sharply. Have the same height at once.
"Is there anything to be afraid of? You're human, and you're of the same height as everyone else!" Jupi replied fiercely. Instantly the atmosphere became hot like this.
"Keep your mouth shut Lo! Junior Lo in this school, don't
Dare to challenge me!"
"Cin! Senior and junior what's the difference? You and I both have eyes to see, right?"
Buk!
Jupi fell to the cafeteria floor, clutching his jaw which hurt from Anjas' blow.
Anjas immediately beat Jupi hard, making Jupi unable to get up. All the students screamed at Anjas' actions that had gone too far. Zion tried to restrain Anjas, but Anjas' anger was already on the verge.
"Sis Anjas! Sis Anjas stop!" The sound of a girl screaming made Anjas immediately stop his action.
From a distance, Ula could be seen running and approaching them.
"What are you doing? Jupi is Ula's friend, Sis," said Ula looking sad, looking at Anjas.
Anjas is Ula's eldest brother, as well as Ula's most dear brother. Zion helped Jupi up, took Jupi straight away from
the store
"Brother shouldn't be like that, Sis Anjas hit Jupi, it means that you also beat Ula," said Ula, who had tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, I. I didn't-"
"Still! Sis Anjas is always emotional and makes other people hurt. Ula doesn't like it, Sis!" Ula said again.
From a distance, Jupi glanced back at Ula who was angry with Anjas.
"Ula hates Sis Anjas!"
Finally, Ula left leaving Anjas speechless with his feelings. Anjas knew that Ula was so afraid of fights, Ula was a girl who had seen her parents fight for a long time.
"Are you okay?" Zion asked while cleaning the bruises on Jupi's cheeks.
"I'm okay," answered Jupi lying on the UKS bed.
After Zion gave painkillers, this color-haired boy Jupi flatly. sat on the chair. Staring
"Anjas who is Ula?" Jupi asked getting up. "Elder brother," Zion answered quietly.
"So Anjas is the student council president?"
"Yes. One thing you need to know, Anjas is feared by all the students here because of his arbitrary attitude. You can see like before, don't hesitate to kill," said Jupi with a shady look.
"Is there someone like that?" Asked Jupi. Because Jupi has never met anyone like Anjas, especially Jupi knows that the outside world is a new world for her.
"You seem so foreign to the outside world," Zion guessed, frowning and sitting up on the bed with Jupi.
"I never go out because of my allergies. I can't be outside, the sun makes me sick. Then, I'm allergic to dust," said Jupi looking at Zion.
"No wonder you told me to take another way to the canteen. Have you been dressed like this since you were little?" Zion asked again.
"Yes. This is the first time I go to school outside, usually I do home schooling," said Jupi with a small smile.
"So you haven't been outside all this time?"
"I'm more active at night,"
"Vampires are looking for manasa" Zion reproached laughing.
"Vampires are looking for prey," Zion reproached laughing while hitting Jupi's shoulder.
"I'm grateful, I can immediately get friends. Like Lo. I think, during high school I will continue to be alone," said Jupi again.
Zion looked at Jupi who was different when he took off his hood and mask. Looks like a boy whose brother is.
"You know, I have an older brother. And he's very similar to Lo when he's like this," said Zion. Jupi this time focused his gaze.
"He's always been a protector for me, he's the same attitude as Lo. On the outside, he'll look fierce wearing a hoodie and a mask. He never shows his face to anyone, except for years," I said. At that time, I was only 10
"You're telling me like this when I look at you, what happened to your sister?" Jupi asked slowly hitting Zion's thigh.
"My sister is a hard worker, I come from a low-income family. All the expenses, my sister bears it. However, when I was 12 years old I never saw my sister's whereabouts. She disappeared somewhere. I've been trying to find and report to the police. No news until now."
"That's why, I once told Lo that we had met before. At that time I accidentally bumped into you. Because I was surprised, I thought Lo, my brother, that's why it was reflex," said Zion.
hood and mask. He never showed his face to anyone, except me. At that time, I was only 10 years old."
"You tell me like this, I look sad, what happened to your brother?" Jupi asked slowly hitting Zion's thigh.
"My sister is a hard worker, I come from a low-income family. All the expenses, my sister is in charge. However, when I was 12 years old I never saw my sister's whereabouts. She disappeared somewhere. I've been trying to find and report to the police. No news until now."
"That's why I once told Lo that we had met before. At that time I accidentally bumped into you. Because I was surprised, I thought Lo, my brother, that's why it was reflex," Zion said at length, telling a long story about himself.
Jupi nodded, smiling.
"I understand why, it turns out that I'm not the only one who feels lost. You also lost someone you love," said Jupi.
Now, Jupi is more understanding with everyone. Moreover, understanding that Zion who looks dilapidated is actually injured. Jupi now understands the meaning of togetherness and sadness.
