9 INSULT

"But, I also want to let you know that it looks like your rival is a doctor, hahaha!" Spencer smiled happily and also teased Ben by saying that Doctor Archie seemed to like Sarah too.

"It's not a big problem, Bro. I will not give up if it is only with the doctor earlier. I will only lose if Alex is my rival. But now Alex has left Sarah to me to make her happy,"

"Thank you for your blessing, Bro!" said Ben firmly.

"I'm the one thanking you, Ben. You're such a nice guy. I hope Sarah will open her heart to you," Spencer said sincerely to Ben for loving Sarah so much.

The next day at school. This afternoon Sarah and her mother and Spencer had gathered in the principal's office. Sarah and her family confronted the principal and his deputy, and the supervising teacher who yesterday accused Sarah of being one-sided.

"Well, Sir, Madam, thank you for coming to our invitation to discuss Sarah's current issue. I also really regret that today is there to discuss such a sad rumor,"

"However, for clarity as to what Sarah's current status is, we need an explanation from Sarah's parents regarding reports stating that Sarah had promiscuous sex that made her pregnant. Is all that true, Sir, Madam?"

Hearing the Headmaster's words earlier, made Spencer clench his fists tightly. He couldn't bear to hear the hurtful accusations they made against his poor sister.

But, just as Spencer was about to answer, the supervising teacher who didn't like Sarah let out a voice.

"Even though you are a smart and intelligent student at this school, you shouldn't tarnish the school's good name!" said the supervising teacher, which made Spencer's ears even hotter.

However, Sarah touched Spencer's hand which seemed to be clenched tightly while shaking her head briefly at her brother.

"Sarah, are you now able to answer our questions yesterday? Is it true that you were pregnant because you fell into promiscuity? And does your family know about this?" The supervising teacher again asked the same question as yesterday.

Sarah closed her eyes, trying to catch her breath to calm her anger. Sarah felt a strong movement from her stomach. She understood that at this time the baby could respond to her mood which was holding back anger.

"I'm sorry, Teacher. Before I answer, I also want to ask again, who and what is the evidence for your accusations and the others on me?" Sarah answered reversed the teacher's question earlier.

"I'll answer if you tell me who it was and what the evidence is. On what basis are you asking me this without any evidence I haven't seen at all. You said you had convincing evidence, didn't you?"

"Or maybe it's just because of one complaint that people don't like me, so you just believe it right away? Because I know very well that you didn't like me at all from the start so you keep cornering me like this," Sarah continued, daring to question the reason again. accusations against her.

"Did you hear what Sarah said just now? This is what your sister, sir, and your daughter look like, madam. Is that the kind of attitude she deserves to show me? I'm the tutor here. So I have the right to speak firmly to Sarah. But Sarah turned my question upside down,"

"Now we all know what Sarah is like, don't we? Besides being a brilliant student, Sarah is also amazing at denying what her teacher says. Am I wrong if I question her pregnancy in front of everyone like this?"

"Why don't you just answer, Sarah? Why do you keep giving me headaches when I face you?"

"With your attitude like this, you are only embarrassing your mother and brother, Sarah!"

The supervising teacher had expressed her disappointment as well as complaints about Sarah's disrespectful attitude to her in front of Sarah's own family.

Meanwhile, Spencer was so furious that he couldn't contain his anger any longer.

"Who wouldn't be angry at being cornered like this, Madam? I'm not defending my sister's attitude, which you think is impolite. But if things changed to Sarah, you or me, if you were Sarah, you would be angry and fight back,"

"I'm saying all this because I'm sure you all don't know what you're accusing my sister of is wrong!"

"What if your accusations are wrong? Can I as Sarah's brother sue you and the school too?"

Spencer couldn't contain his emotions anymore. Everything Spencer had said just now wasn't all he got out. When Spencer looked like he wanted to let out another rage, Sarah comforted Spencer cause their mother couldn't help but sob.

"Bro, never mind. Let me do the talking. Trust me, Bro," Sarah spoke soothingly to Spencer.

"But they went too far, Sarah! They misunderstood you!" Spencer still didn't accept.

"Let me do the talking and calm yourself down, Bro," Sarah replied again, which Spencer finally followed until he was silent.

Meanwhile, the supervising teacher and the Principal, and his deputy were stunned to hear Spencer's anger.

"Madam, Master, I apologize in advance, if you think what I said was disrespectful as a student. But if the evidence can incriminate me, and make you believe that I am guilty, well, that is your right as educators at this school."

"I admit that I'm pregnant," Sarah replied, clutching her big belly.

Mrs. Katie was getting quieter in her tears, while the school seemed to be pulling and exhaling roughly. As if relieved that their accusations were true to Sarah.

"Master, you can hear what Sarah said, right? So, the reports she was accused of are true, sir. Sarah is too free to get along with her to be like this!" said the supervising teacher again.

They all looked at Sarah with scornful eyes.

Sarah's body shook violently with anger and annoyance. This time Sarah could no longer hold back her sentence in a calm tone.

Her heart hurt when they accused her of doing things that are forbidden in the eyes of religion. They also accused her baby of the result of promiscuous sex.

"You can accuse me of anything, because I know you didn't like me from the start either, Madam. You always blame me first when I get into trouble with other students. But this time I'm sorry, I can't accept it!"

"I do not accept, if this is my child, you say it is the result of free sex!" wrapping her arms around her stomach, Sarah said firmly.

"I was legally married and at that time, I still wore the school uniform that had my father's blood on it because of an accident," Sarah said as she clenched her fists.

"I was married off by my brother on top of my father's body before my father died!" Sarah's tears fell after she said this sentence.

"Which part are you accusing me of that I got pregnant because of promiscuity? I don't have any evidence to show you at this time, but all my family knows, my friends know too, that I'm married. So, part of life Which I am you asking about?"

Sarah issued her sentence with a trembling body until her eyes could no longer hold back the tears that came out, and it was all visible from her fists and the angry expression on her face.

Those who initially tried Sarah and accused her of cruel accusations fell silent to hear Sarah's answer.

They had a guilty look on their faces when they heard Sarah's story, which she spoke with emotion and sadness.

"After I admit that I am indeed pregnant, may I know who accuses me of this, Madam?" Sarah was still shaking with anger when she turned to ask the tutor.

However, the teacher was silent. He couldn't answer Sarah's question.

"Sarah, we're sorry if this accusation is wrong. Then it's just a misunderstanding," the Headmaster said softly. Maybe because he felt guilty after accusing Sarah like that.

"But despite the accusations of Sarah's bad association, everyone knows and it's clear that Sarah is indeed pregnant right now. So, in this case, we have to take a firm decision on Sarah!"

"I as the head of the school, it is with a heavy heart, I have decided to drop out Sarah from this school!"

The words that the headmaster said just now sounded like lightning striking the earth so that the vibrations traveled through the hearts of Sarah and her family.

Sarah closed her eyes as she felt her heart hurt again. However, she tried to be strong because it was already imagined her, the end of the story would be like this.

However, amid the current silence of the Headmaster's room, a voice that Sarah and her family knew was heard greeting.

"Good Afternoon everyone! May I come in?" Ben asked the people in the room.

"Ben? Please come in, son!" said the supervising teacher welcoming Ben in a friendly manner.

"Sorry to interrupt the conversation of parents at this time," said Ben slightly bowing his head to those who were older than him, and finally, Ben looked at Sarah who was silent lost in thought with a blank look.
