"If you were brother Daren, I certainly wouldn't be like this," said Ayla. She looked at Arka with a sharp gaze, her eyes now glazed over. After saying that, Ayla just walked away.
Arka who saw Ayla's gaze was not the same as usual, the smile that was on Arka's lips faded. Arka then let out a long breath perfectly, then he ruffled his hair that didn't itch.
Ayla walked down the corridor to return to class. Her intention to follow Intan and Nuna had to be undone. How can Ayla come to the canteen in this condition? Of course, she didn't dare and was embarrassed at all.
Ayla sat in the classroom, some children looked at her with strange looks. There was a sense of wonder mixed with questions, but none of them dared to ask. How not, they are new classmates, coupled with the gossip that Ayla is Devano's boyfriend is something which makes them feel reluctant to approach Ayla.
While Ayla had to face her face down on the table, she was really very embarrassed. She didn't know what to do, her body was soaking wet now and she didn't bring a change of clothes. Did she have to wear her wet uniform until class ended? Ayla surrendered, this is a very stifling thing. She never imagined that she would have to be bullied like this even on her first day of school. An incident that Ayla would definitely believe in if this bullying was not once, not the end, but the beginning of her three years of misfortune at school here.
So, what should Ayla do? Is her love and admiration for Devano wrong? Until now, everyone said that even if she was Devano's girl, Ayla still didn't feel that way. Yes, Ayla really admires Devano, Ayla really idolizes Devano, so despite all Devano's harsh words to her even Ayla still really likes Devano. But how can someone's admiration be rewarded with bullying?
"Oh, my gosh! why are you so wet!"
Ayla looked up, it turned out that Intan and Nuna had returned to class. Ayla did not know that her two friends had returned to class so quickly, even though as far as Ayla knew, Intan had not had breakfast.
"Why are you back?" asked Ayla innocently. Intan and Nuna looked at each other, then both chuckled.
"How can we not come back right away if you take too long to follow up, plus there was news from the children that Devano's girl was bullied by a senior, so we rushed to check on you, and it's true, you're like this. ``What are you doing, Ay?" asked Intan then.
Ayla took a deep breath, while Intan had helped Ayla dry her hair with a tissue, which even a dozen sheets of tissue would not dry Ayla's entire body.
"I don't know, I just went to the bathroom and when I was about to go out, there was a bucket with water in it, the bucket just poured it on me. Then three seniors came out, they told me to stay away from Devano because I didn't deserve Devano. I still don't understand this, but ..." said Ayla paused, Ayla then looked deeply at the two friends. "But then Devano came, he helped me and gave me his jacket. He threatened my seniors who had been playing tricks on me, so they wouldn't tease me again. Then I was asked to leave from there."
"Huh, seriously?"
"You didn't dream, did you?"
"Devano?"
"You're not kidding, are you?"
Intan and Nuna joked alternately, hearing Ayla's last sentence, who would believe that?
"Twice seriously, in fact!" replied Ayla who was getting annoyed because her two friends didn't trust her. "Unfortunately, after we came out, Devano's true nature emerged."
"How did it appear?"
"He said, I have to do laundry on his jacket so that it doesn't touch my hands at all."
"Hah? Devano said that?" asked Nuna. Ayla nodded her head weakly. "That boy is insolent indeed! Just because he's cute too, how dare he say that to my best friend! Where's him? I have to teach him a lesson!" said Nuna, who was about to walk away, but was immediately restrained by Intan and Ayla.
"Don't, Nana! That makes Ayla even more ugly in Devano's eyes!" said Intan then. Intan, then looked at Ayla, frowning perfectly. "Ay, if I may give you a suggestion, explain everything. You have to find Devano and talk to him face-to-face. Ask Devano about your problem with suddenly becoming a girl, so that your confusion is clear, and what happened is also clear! You don't want to be like this, do you? When you just don't know what's going on, suddenly Devano becomes your guy! You must be firm, Ay, this is for your own future. At least so that you don't get bullied again by those who have insulted you like this!"
"Oy, the older sister who has watered Devano's girl is now being bullied! Their bags hang high in the trees until they're about to cry!"
Suddenly the news brought by one of her classmates made Ayla turn her head, news that shocked her more than anything else.
'Don't you dare touch Ayla, once again you are doing that, not only your bags that I will hang but your heads that will replace those bags?'
Clear, and solid. That's the content of a message written on a piece of paper found by one of Ayla's seniors. The three of them couldn't help but snort, cursing whoever's actions had been so outrageous. How not, this of course makes them upset. They really want to retaliate but they don't know who to repay all this treatment to. They themselves could not guess who the perpetrators of all these crimes were.
"Is this Devano's doing?" asked the figure of a tall girl with short hair. She looked at her two friends in horror, and the two of them shook their heads vigorously.
"Impossible. We ourselves know what Devano is like. He is a cold guy who is very indifferent. It seems impossible for Devano to do something like this just because the girl is not as clear as the girl earlier. I think someone else did it,"
"Then who?" The question managed to make the long-haired girl silent. Right, who the hell did that? It's clear that the little girl's boyfriend is Devano, and out of the many students at the school, they don't think anyone dares to fight them.
