After the breakfast, Muyan went to his sister's room to wait for her and after a while she showed up.
" Hey Brother"
" You finally came, now little miss come and tell me who or what made you cry"
After a deep breath, she said " Muyan I really do not know why I'm being treated like a rag because I can't afford most of the things my classmates have"
" Everyone laughs and jeers at me publicly, they say I don't have money to buy all the designer dresses they have. I don't live in a mansion like them, I cannot afford them and all that, they don't sit with me and they do not let me come close to them too".
"All my friends have distanced themselves from me because they feel I'm no longer on their level anymore Muyan. Not only my classmates, the whole school stigmatizes me because I'm poor, they might not do same to you because you're not as powerless as I am and as if that isn't enough badluck, Jess my best friend left me to follow a richer and popular girl, whenever she sees me she turns away her face and covers her nose", Ara said sobbing then she asked,
"Do I smell bad brother?", she said in between sniffs. "They always cover their nose with their fingers whenever I pass".
Muyan now knew it, his baby sister was baby sister was being frustrated and bullied by the people around her.
" No Ara, you don't smell bad, don't let what Jess does get into your head".
"Of all people, Jess, I thought you were best friends now she has turned her back on you? That's crazy. And why didn't you tell me all these while huh Ara, why did you let those stupid folks bully you?"
"I'm sorry brother", she said silently
"Now come here", he ordered, "If anyone dares to bully you again just come to my class and inform me and watch how I'll deal with all of them"
"Thank you brother", she said
"And Ara, do not let this people get into your head. Remember our goals we're to graduate with great grades and work so hard, yeah, so we'll change our story. I do not care how long it takes us we'll never remain like this okay?"
"Yes Brother", she said with a bit of relief.
"And you know same thing happens to me too", he said with a smile, Ara raised her face to look at her brother.
"You mean you're being bullied too?", she said astonished.
"Yes Ara. Although I do not let them say rubbish to my face and I'll never let them, you remember OT and Dora right?, he asked.
OT was a very rich and popular bully in the school due to the way he always flaunted his wealth and moves around with almost all the beautiful girls in their school and he was in the same class as Muyan. Meanwhile Dora was Muyan's girlfriend. Dora wants to break up with Muyan because he wasn't getting her the kind of flashy things her friends had. And Muyan who didn't like being pressured let her have her way and she stopped communicating with Muyan and began to move around with OT, although it wasn't confirmed if they were in a relationship yet.
"Yes I know OT and Dora brother"
"OT came to meet me at the cafeteria with his guys and told me he's going to get my girl. We once had a fight in class, he was trying to bully me but I didn't let him have his way. And he told me he'll make sure he makes my life miserable and anything that makes me happy and it's within his reach he'll take it away from me and to be very honest with you sister, I had no idea he was referring to my girl, Dora"
"Dora wants to leave you for OT, so that's why she stopped visiting wow".
"Yeah, she wants to and I made a promise to her that she wouldn't meet me where she left me. I'll make my own money and see who dares to bully me, you or JoJo again".
"I'm so sorry brother. I thought she loved you", she said sadly, "I never knew you were also a victim of these bullies too".
"I am but I do not let them get into my head and that's why I want you to do same baby girl. And I have Jake and Jimmy by my side, they also help me too I'm so grateful for them but don't worry we'll work hard so me, you or JoJo doesn't continue facing all these okay"
"Yes brother, thank you for listening to me and reassuring me. I love you big brother"
" I love you too" , he said and gave her a warm embrace.
