4. Martin's Move

From a home child I became a boarding house girl. Not really a boarding house, but often I stay outside makes me not much different from my high school friends who are boarding. Like tonight, a series of school anniversary events often make the organization's children work overtime outside of class hours. It is not uncommon to have to be at school until nightfall.

I've completely forgotten about home. Here at least I met a lot of people who looked at me. I am recognized here, not only on academic matters. Apparently martial abilities also had an effects. Whew tired .. in between doing various knick-knack for the school anniversary I stretched a few times.

"Are you tired?" Martin ask question to all the children present.

"Yes, not bad. Those was eight o'clock in the evening." Rusdi reply

"Can I go home, Mr. Martin?" ask Lesti with a slugged face

"What to do?" I know what's on Martin' head. Dilemma too, those are still a lot of work to do but the children are tired. , "Alright, just go home."

"You?" I ask, surprise Martin do not seem interested in go home.

"I'm still here, so I can achieve the target."

I just said "hmm" had no intent to say can I have come home with the other? But I pity him if he has to finished the job himself. I still care, at least my evil soul is not awake today. Also this is my consider that recent Martin is willing to be my slave, yes, even with threat.

One hour, two hour passed in silence. We work in silence. I just realize I wasn't awkward at all alone with Martin in this student council room. Looks like the love I used to save just evaporated after Martin boldly harassed Tandrie.

Tandrie, why tonight I think about him ? It doesn't matter, he's just a destroyer of people's lives. Especially my life. Since there was Tandrie I was like being expelled from my life. The existence of Tandrie left no room for me in the eyes of papa-mama.

"It's hot chocolate." Martin shoves a chocolate drink right in front of me.

"Thanks."

"Thanks. I've been assisted so far. Can I ask?"

"Yes?"

"You, do you still like me?" strange thoughts too. It used to be, now it's normal. In fact, it was really impress that Martin was my sulave.

"Not."

"Oh .. by the way, what's the relationship between Tandrie and you?"

"What do you mean, like that?"

"I want to have Tandrie."

"Are you gay?" I glare at him. This should not be tolerate. I'll be killed by papa-mama. I hate not knowing. The papa-mama attempted intensive therapy in addition to healing Tandrie's trauma, as well as therapy to foster the masculine character of my step sister. "Gay is so stupid!"

I saw Martin's hands clenched tightly. It's up to Martin to think I'm homophobic or whatever. But this must be straightened out. LGBT is a deviation. You can return to normal life as long as you don't enjoy mistake. If the mistake is enjoy, then healing is impossible. They will continue to parrot asking for recognition and declaration.

"I never thought you were close-minded." His teeth were grinding in anger

"Do you think you're open-minded if you agree with LGBT? Only people who don't accept nature say that. Feel is not a standard, Martin!"

"What's wrong with you, it's up to me!. And I don't want to follow your rules anymore. I don't want to bully Tandrie anymore."

"I won't let you make Tandrie gay. Fine, if you don't want to bully her anymore." My breath was gasping, there was a sense of disappointment tucked inside of me. I've hated Tandrie so far, but I can't help it. He is still my brother, even though we are different fathers. Of course I didn't want Tandrie to turn the wrong way.

I've been stuck with the game I made myself. Now all is done. Now I'm worried about Martin's words. Really, he's serious about owning Tandrie? The image of papa-mama's sadness was so clear behind my eyelids.

"You are such a jerk, my calculations will begin soon." That smile, I remember it was the smile he used just before I made his cheeks bruise at that time.

I swayed. My head is dizzy. Oh dead, what's wrong with me?

"You see? The drug has started to react."

"What do you mean?" I try my best to stay consciousness. Martin is really good at role playing. During this time I thought I had really controlled it. I was wrong. He revealed his true fangs, a powerful man who was not willing to be stepped on by a woman.

"Even though you're good at karate, you're still a girl. And I don't hesitate to hurt you to get Tandrie. Get ready, honey .." his voice was like an alarm in my head.

Martin was insolent, he dared to give me sleeping pills. Crazy, this is crazy. I don't want to be a victim of rape even though the culprit is someone I've had a crush on. I'm still 16 years old, my future is still long.

Various scenarios coincided in my head which had lost its consciousness even more. But all of the intertwined scenarios are nothing good, they are all bad. I felt like crying but no tears came out.

"Please, save me." I moaned in regret. Also trying to think fast and control panic. I don't want to lose to Martin. He's a jerk, I don't want my whole life to be stuck with him.

Mobile! Cell phone!

The voice I was expecting buzzed in my head. This power will not be strong enough to get out of this place safely. I still see Martin cocked smugly in a corner of this room. Damn, he knows very well that I can't escape.

Jeez! Where are you cellphone! - I screamed in frustration. It's not easy to balance steps, even towards doors less than 5 meters away. It's useless, I'm more focused on finding a cell phone and calling for help.

Tandrie, somehow my brain is randomly thinking about him. Suddenly I feel guilty, is this also a rebuke because I'm mean to Tandrie. Compared to Martin, now I'm crying because I remember Tandrie and how mean I was to him.

Isn't now in the same position as Tandrie who was cornered, afraid of being harassed a few days ago? Does that mean I got karma?

I feel helpless. The drug is enough to show the effects. Only relying on my instinct to save myself I grabbed my cellphone and turned on the video call. With increasingly blurry eyes I meant to dial my dad's number. Please, papa. Help Reyna now! I don't want my life to get ruined.

"You stupid girl, is there someone who will help you?"

I try to run with the rest of my conscious. Anyone help me! I bumped into something, someone more precisely. He's not Martin, I recognize his thin body. Tandrie. Then it was all dark.
