12 His Tutor(4)

When Haji got out of the classroom, he immediately walked out of the school even though the bell signaled as class time. He was about to leave the big gate when the school guard blocked him.

"It's class time!" Aren't you heard the bell rang?" the guard strictly said.

"Get out of my sight." the young man said seriously and looked intently at the guard.

"Go back to your class! Do you me want to take you to the principal's office?"

The young man immediately grabbed the guard's collar and looked at him badly. "You will let me out whenever I want. If not, you will lose your job right now." he answered without emotion and hurriedly let go of the guard causing him to fall.

The young man immediately got out and rode a motorbike away from the school. He is annoyed because of the useless things Lhou told him earlier. He does not want to go to this school because they will only meet again and again with his worthless father and Lhou. He wants to get away from them and lose connection with his family but his Grandfather is just naughty and does not want to live by himself.

When he reached the place he wanted to go, he immediately got off the motorbike and entered a small alley. From the location of his motorbike, he turned left and saw a hidden warehouse that only a few of them knew.

________________________________

It has been a few hours since Haji left school and he still does not return. Bulk kept calling him but he still did not answer.

'Where the hell are you?' Bulk asked himself while looking at his phone.

"Excuse me. I'm Lia, can I ask a question?" the girl smiled at Bulk and the young man smiled at her as well.

"What is it, Lia?"

"Where is Haji? I just need to talk to him." the maiden asked hesitantly.

"I can't still contacted him. What is it about? I can just say it because we will definitely meet later." he said.

"Is that so? All right, it's nothing. Maybe he read my letter. Sorry for a disturbance, huh?" the maiden replied and walked away.

Bulk looked at him confused and shrugged. He grabbed his phone and try to contact Haji again.

7:30 PM at Summer Bar.

Haji was busy mixing liquor and wines, when Bulk suddenly appear in his sight.

"Where have you been? I've been calling you for hundred times! And you doesn't bother to answered it. I'm so worried, dude." Bulk said but the young man continued what he was doing.

"Don't be so dramatic, Bulk. It's gay." he sarcastically said.

"I'm asking you, where have you been?" he asked and look at the young man intently.

"Nothing. I'm just want to be alone." he said.

Haji knew to himself that he had not been alone before but he just could not tell Bulk where he came from. Bulk is his friend but they have things they can't tell to each other especially he has a lot of secret.

He continued mixing drinks before handing them to servers to delivered it to their customers. They also have many customers. Bulk was about to leave when it came back in front of him again.

"Hey! Before I forgot, Lia was looking for you. She said she wanted to say something. I said, I'll just tell you. Case, she didn't say, and said that you read her letter. What letter? a love letter l??? " Bulk asked curiously and he brought his face closer to his friend. So the young man avoided it.

"Tss. It's nothing. Mind your own business."

The friend just laughed and winked at him. "Hey there. You really are unfashionable, man!. Love letters are no longer fashionable today. Try to be able to date." he response and whistle as he walked away.

The young man rested deeply because of his friend's attitude. He knew his friend was joking and foolish. He thinks deeply so he gives meaning to simple things. He also think about his friend said that Lia was looking for him. He knew it would waiting for him but he really had no intention of attending there because he did not want to ride on his Grandfather's wants.

As time passes by, the customer grows and also, the women customers are trying to be close and seductive to him but since he is Haji Zhu who does not know how to appreciate the woman, they can do nothing but leave and look for another man.

"It hurts a lot every time you avoid them."

He looked to the side as he saw Bulk and smiled looking at him. He ignored It and just sat in a chair at the stool bar. He looked at his watch and saw that it was 10 o'clock in the evening.

"Do you have a walk?" Bulk asked noticing that he was looking at his watch.

"Nothing." he answered shortly

"You have a tutorial. Go home, man! I'll take care of it. Maybe she's already waiting."

"I have no intention of going. If you want, just go. You need it more." he replied and stood up again.

"You're so stubborn." Bulk replied and scratched his head.

----------------------------------------

"I'm leaving! Be careful!" Bulk said goodbye. So he nodded and got on his motorbike. He immediately turned it on and while he was on the way, he could not help but think of the girl.

When he arrived at the apartment, he immediately stopped the motor and entered the lobby area of ​​the apartment. He immediately took the elevator up and when it rang, he immediately left. But, as he was walking, he noticed someone standing in front of his house holding books. He slowly approached so he caught the girl's attention and It immediately turned to him.

Surprisingly, the young man immediately recovered and ignored the girl. He continued walking and opened his door. He was about to enter when Lia held him by the arm. He looked at the hand that she was holding, so the girl immediately took it back and bowed in shame.

"I-I'm sorry. I just want to know where can I teach you." its pointed question. "I've been waiting for you for a while, I thought you would never come.

"I did not tell you to wait for me." the young man emotionless response.

The girl stumbled and seemed surprised by the young man's answer. That's why she bowed even more.

"I'm not interested in what my Grandfather asked you to do. Find someone else for you to teach. I don't have time for useless things like that." Haji replied seriously and immediately entered his room.

The girl left as she stumble on what Haji says. She felt tears coming from her eyes. so he immediately entered his room. Fortunately, the friend is gone because otherwise it is unlikely that she will go to the man and yell at him with hurtful words.

She to herself could not understand why she was crying. She knew that would be the way they talked because as she expected, she knew Haji would not really agree with that tutorial thing.

Aside from being hurt by what the young man said to him, she remembered the conversation she had with the Chairman when Haji and Bulk who was able to leave the office that day. She recalled the conversation he had with the Chairman.

"Lia." the Chairman called to him.

"P-po." its response.

"How many years have you been as a student assistant to the President?"

"One year, Chairman." the maiden replied.

"I fired you as a student assistant but you'll be my grandson's tutor." Chairman replied and sat down in the elegant swivel chair.

"S-sir? But that's where my studies depend! Don't take it away! I'm begging you!" pitying maiden reply.

"I know. I have you're record. I know all about you. I know you are alone in life and I also know the cause of your parents' death." the old man replied causing her to look at it in shock.

"S-sir?"

"I also know that your friend is the only one with you in life. You have three part time jobs to pay the rent for the apartment where my grandson also lives. Isn't it?"

The girl did not answer and remained bent over and waited for the Chairman to say more.

"If you allow my grandson in your tutorial session, I promised that you will do well in my school. Plus, I will give you a monthly allowance. You don't have to work anymore. In addition, I will help you find the killer that kill your parents. "

The girl looked up and was surprised by the Chairman's offers. She did not know that even the Chairman knew that.

"But if you do not allow my grandson, uyou need to forget that you are student here.. Even if you take some part time jobs, you will not be able to pay the tuition fee here. I will remove your name as a scholar of this school."

As she renewed those memories, Lia could not help but cry because her remaining hope was gone. That's all his dream. The dream of finishing her studies. The dream to have a good life. And the dream of finding those who killed his family.
