Worries

"Notice. There will be a hearing on Saturday for the disgraceful actions taken by the DEB SEB of the Faculty of Economics, namely Stefa, Yola, and Ardilo. The joint meeting with the DEB and Commission 1 of Student Representative Council (SRC). It must be attended by all members of the SEB of the Faculty of Economics. Thank you."

Stefa and Hano looked at each other. They were very surprised by the notification in the group.

"Wow, maybe someone reported it? How are you doing?" asked Hano, worried about Stefa.

"But who did you report?" Stefa asked back. She was worried too. She had completely forgotten her position as secretary 2 of the Faculty of Economics SEB. Why did she just vent her emotions without thinking?

Stefa's phone vibrates. There's a call from Taera.

"Hello."

"Stef, what are you doing until there is a hearing with SRC's members? What are you doing, Stef?"

Stefa was reluctant to discuss this. She didn't want Taera to feel guilty about it.

"No, Taera. I have a problem."

"Because of me, right? Do you defend me? What are you doing? About Yola?"

It seemed that Taera didn't know what was going on. Stefa was confused to explain.

"Not because of you, Taera. Because of my love for you as a friend. Don't worry. I'll deal with this."

"Stef, I know you love me, but don't do anything wrong because of me. I don't want you to get hurt."

"Don't worry. I will be able to deal with this. Just pray that everything will be okay. Okay."

"Okay. Where are you? Do you want to meet up?"

"I'm just about to go home. I'm with Hano. When it's finished, I'll stop by your boarding house."

"Okay, be careful, okay?"

"Okay, darling."

Taera hangs up the phone. Stefa breathed a sigh of relief. At least Taera was just a little mad at her. If she's worried, Taera must be worried about Stefa because Stefa is the only friend who understands her the most. Taera was worried that Stefa would get into trouble because of her.

"What did Taera say?" asked Hano.

"It's okay, Hano. She's just worried. I'm okay," said Stefa.

"If it's you, maybe you will only get a reprimand. But Ardilo, I'm afraid there will be a special hearing," said Hano.

"Special hearing?" Stefa asked, confused.

"Yes, a special hearing if the Chairman of the SEB commits a violation or misbehavior," replied Hano.

"So what are the consequences for Ardilo?" asked Stefa, still confused.

"He might be demoted from his position as Chairman of the SEB," replied Hano, a little worried. He couldn't imagine his best friend having to lose his job.

"Wow, how are you doing? I'm sorry, Ardilo, later," said Stefa, shaking Hano's arm.

Hano was not worried, but rather excited. All this time, he had seen Stefa who was always cheerful and kind in front of him. Only this time, Stefa looked different. She seems like a person who truly cares and loves others. For some reason, Hano's heart was touched.

"Come on, just calm down. Let us help Ardilo finish it," said Hano.

"But, it's also my fault, Hano. I also have to help Ardilo," said Stefa.

"Well, that's all. Now we meet with Ardilo to discuss this. Just come with me," said Hano.

"Okay, let's go," said Stefa.

After returning from campus, Ardilo, Hano, Alex, Yuna, Yania, and Stefa gathered at a cafe. They had an appointment, and now they are sitting together.

"How are you doing? It's all because of me, so it's like this. Sorry, Ardi," said Stefa.

"It's okay. Don't worry. I'm sure this can be resolved properly. After all, this is only a personal matter, not a problem concerning the good name of the SEB. Yes, even though there is something wrong with us because we have a position in the SEB and do not protect the good name of our SEB, " said Ardilo.

"Are you sure you won't be demoted from the position of SEB chairman?" Stefa asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I and the others will straighten this out. I've already spoken to Ervan. He understands my position. He doesn't blame me, but objectively it's wrong. Yes, even though it's more of Yola," replied Ardilo.

"Yeah, it's Yola's fault. I'll be a witness later at the hearing if it's needed. Yola was the one who rammed Ardi," said Yuna, who was greeted by laughter from Alex and Hano.

"Rammed? You say she's a bull?" said Hano, then laughed again.

"Honey, you are so funny," said Alex to his girlfriend.

"Just ask Putra. How come he saw it too? Ardi must also feel like he was being pushed by Yola, right?" Yuna asked.

"Yes, it doesn't mean rammed, but I suddenly surprised myself," Ardilo replied, then laughed a little too.

"Ugh, why are you all joking? I'm still worried," said Stefa, then smirked.

"Stef, don't be tense. Just relax. Ardilo relax. Yuna will also be a witness. Even if you are punished by the SRC, we will help you. Solidarity without limits," Hano assured Stefa.

"Who do you think reported it?" mumbled Stefa.

"Airin," said Yania, suddenly.

Everyone immediately looked at Yania in shock. They are not surprised how Yania found out about this. Because Yania has many trusted informants and can track other people's social media. That's why Yania was trusted to be the Head of the Information and Communications Department. Yania's relationships are everywhere.

"Airin isn't an Economics student. How come she knows about this? As far as I know, she wasn't there when I slapped Yola," asked Stefa, confused.

"Yola's friends recorded what happened when you slapped Yola. And they gave the video to Airin. As far as I know, Airin has enemies, and Yola's friends used Airin's enemies to threaten her if she didn't want to report to the SRC members. Fortunately, Airin only reported to the SRC members and didn't share the video," Yania explained.

All flabbergasted. They didn't know that Airin was under pressure. So far, SEB members from the Faculty of Economics only know that Airin is a cheerful and calm girl. She is active and kind. They don't know that Airin is being bullied by other people.

"Why doesn't Airin fight her enemies? Why doesn't Airin keep quiet?" Yuna asked.

"I noticed that Airin was not a brave person. She was just trying to be brave. Sometimes she fights, but she always loses. I don't know. I also hope that one day she can win against the evil that has befallen her," Yania explained.

"So as not to add to the problem, it's best not to let people know that Airin distributed the video. I don't want her to be hated by the SEB members," said Alex.

Ardilo nodded in agreement.

"Yes, sorry for her. She will be more depressed later," said Hano.

"That's true. I'm sorry. Even if I was punished by the SRC's members, well, it's still my fault. I won't blame other people," said Stefa.

At that time, Ardilo's handphone vibrated. There's a call from Taera. Ardilo also allowed him to leave the cafe so his friends wouldn't hear his conversation. Ardilo keeps his privacy with Taera.

"Hi, darling."

"Hello, Ardilo."

"Yes, what is up?"

"I have something to say."

"Say about what?"

"I..."
