Flashback - Regret

They all run fast. No one even cares about Putri, who is still sick with Mega's bite marks.

Putri, Nada, Fia, Ria sat waiting in front of the counseling room. Putri realized that she heard the sound of an ambulance leaving the school.

"Ambulance? How bad is that?" thought Putri.

The four of them were full of silence. No one asked each other and looked at each other. Just silent, thinking about what bad things will happen to them.

There were even a few students who had gathered around watching them from afar.

This time Putri was successful, making herself famous at the school at that time. They are still waiting to be called by Mrs. Anggi. While in the room, there was only Rian, accompanying Mrs. Anggi.

Not long after. Rian came out, and he called Fia.

Fia entered, and not long, she came back out, then followed by Ria.

Next is Nada, who enters the room.

Putri noticed the faces of her friends when they came out.

Fia only showed a flat expression without looking at Putri.

Ria? She came out only showed a fearful expression. Different things happen to Nada, who left the counseling room in tears.

It was Putri's turn to be called. Somehow, she found the room very unpleasant. She saw that Mrs. Anggi was calling someone. Likewise with Rian, who was talking seriously on the phone.

"OK, Wira. Tell Mega's condition as soon as possible. I hope she is fine." Rian said in a heavy tone, then hung up the phone and realized that Putri was watching him.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Anggi gave a code to Putri to sit down. Then Bu Anggi hung up the phone.

"What the busy day. I've called your parent, and they will come today." Said Mrs. Anggi to Rian.

"So.., Putri? What's your defense now?" Asked Mrs. Anggi, who was now standing beside Putri and looking at her with seriousness.

Putri was just silent and still expressionless.

Defense? She thought, didn't everyone know fault.

What is the importance of the defense at this time? Rian approached Putri angrily.

"You know, Putri. As the student council president here and as your brother. It's disappointing what you're doing now." It was seen Rian inflated his chest because of his great disappointment.

"If it's not Fia who tell me and reports this. I don't know what else you will do. You need to wait until mom comes for you."

Before Rian started talking again, Mrs. Anggi had already cut him off. "Enough, Rian. I think Putri already knows what she did wrong."

Rian was silent but with an annoyed face and turned his face towards the outside window.

"Putri, your friends have told everything. From notebooks, tracksuits, and what have happened in today." Said Mrs. Anggi.

She walked to the left side of Putri. Bend down to hold the Princess's shoulder.

"You are smart and talented, Putri. But, I didn't expect you've bullying your friend."

Putri could only bow in shame. She could only be silent without being able to say a single word.

"Sorry to bother you all," said Putri coldly.

Rian's expression looks disappointed with his sister's words.

"Putri, it looks like you need to go to the school health unit room, immediately treat the wound on your hand. No need to go to the punishment room, And don't go anywhere because your parents will pick you up." Mrs. Anggi's orders.

Putri obeyed and walked out to the school health unit room.

The school health unit guard began to treat the bite wound on Putri's hand.

Putri holds back her tears not to come out. Putri also regrets what she did to Mega. She was thinking a lot in the school health unit room.

How about Mega condition? What will happen to her? She had too many questions on her mind.

The school health unit officer came out of the room. He seemed to realize that Putri needed to be alone. Putri immediately curled up on a small bed in the school health unit room, covering her face with the existing blanket.

Putri began to shed tears. She doesn't know why she tried so hard to keep the tears from falling.

Still, she couldn't help it. Tears of fear, tears of regret, she couldn't express her feelings.

Putri seemed to have fallen asleep for a while, awakened by a familiar voice calling her in a soft tone. She opened the blanket.

"Mom?" said the Putri slowly. Mariana's face looked tired, and there was no expression at all.

The disappointment was evident on his face.

Putri followed her mother's instructions to return home. Mariana is still working on work clothes. Looks like she just returned from abroad.

Along the way, there were only Putri and Mariana sitting in the back seat. Meanwhile, Rian and the driver were in the front seat.

Is it appropriate if Putri ventured to ask how Mega was doing? When Putri tried to open her mouth. But the courage came back to make the Putri silent again.

Again there was only silence. Mariana just stared out the window. While Rian was busy with his cellphone. For some reason, Putri believed that Rian was communicating with Wira.

When they got home, the atmosphere was getting tense.

What should she say to her father?

But it turned out. Bambang was waiting in the living room and looked down at Putri was looking down in shame.

Bambang conveyed several suggestions and criticisms to his daughter.

Putri could only be resigned and accept all the insults from her father when her father had given enough anger and disappointment to Putri.

Finally, her father allowed Putri to return to her room.

Putri threw her body on the bed, started squeezing the pillow that was nearby. Then began to shed tears.

This atmosphere is getting more unpleasant. Putri prefers to be scolded by her mother and brothers than to be silenced like this.

After the incident, Putri was sentenced to be suspended for two weeks from attending school. But in reality, a two-week sentence is like a two-month sentence.

Putri was not allowed to leave the house.

She only did a lot of activities in the room. Even she started to lose her best friend.

After the incident. Fita, Ria, and Nada never contacted her. Even Putri found out that the three of them had started to leave the group chat.

And now in the group, there is only one member, it was Putri.

The worse Putri knew was that her number was blocked by all her friends.

What is Putri thinking it's certain and clear that her friends will stay away from her since the incident?

Several times she tried to ask Rian about Mega's condition. But Rian didn't give any answer. Just advise so that Putri can be more introspective and wiser in dealing with all problems.

Wira's brother also changed his attitude. Wira is now very cold.

There are no more jokes and laughter to be seen, once Putri intended to ask how Mega was, but Wira always stayed away from Putri. Putri is so sad. Yes, she knows this is her punishment.

Since then and during her two-week sentence, Putri has stopped asking questions or how the situation is with her friends or Mega.

Putri mostly shut herself in her bedroom, regretting her actions. Even if she knew, no one would believe her regret.

After being sentenced to two weeks, Putri began to return to school. She realizes that she has become the main topic of her friends. Not just one class, but one school.

Very lucky because Putri was not expelled from school. The magnitude of the Soedarmo Family's influence makes Putri still within safe limits.

Fia chose to move seats. Nada and Ria were already away.

"So this is what it's like to be Mega?" Said Putri. Avoided by her friends. Now, she doesn't even have any friends.

The difference is, Putri is shunned for doing evil things, while Mega is just a good smart girl, who never looks bad.

Mega has not been seen since then, from various rumors that Putri heard. That Mega changes schools, this makes Putri seen as the number one bad person in her school. Although as smart as Putri, the image of a bully still sticks to her.

Even at home, Putri still looks awkward. Wira is getting cold with his attitude to her.

Meanwhile, Rian is busy with student council activities and final exams.

Raja and Rafa try to comfort Putri. Now and then they practice what Putri did jokingly. Although Putri was not at all entertained.

Bambang and Mariana noticed the change in Putri's attitude began to worry.

It was the third Sunday since the incident. Putri just stayed in the room heard a knock from behind the door. She hears her mother's soft voice and called out to Putri.

"Putri, am I bothering you?" She asked doubtfully

"No, mom. Please come in. I'm studying because I want to catch up on the lesson I missed yesterday." Said Putri with a sweet smile.

"It's Sunday night? You're not out?" Mariana asked, surprised.

Putri couldn't tell that now Putri had no friends at all, and she just shook her head to answer questions from her mother.

Mariana immediately hugged Putri very tightly,

"My dear child, I just wanted to say that your father and I were never angry with you, Putri."

Putri was surprised by her mother's reaction, which she thought was excessive.

But Mariana's hug is so warm. Mariana's hug made Putri's heart calm and comfortable. Putri had tried very hard to hold it in, but the tears came out and were uncontrollable.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I'm very selfish because my actions have hurt Mega. It's my fault. Sorry..." Putri said nervously.

She wiped her nose, not caring about her snot on her mother's clothes. Mariana hugged her daughter tighter.

"I don't know what I'm doing become out of control. I'm really.., really.., sorry..! I'm so afraid, mom." Said Putri was getting sobbed.

"Oh... dear. I know that you are not a bad person. I know that you are a good and loving child."

"It is enough, Putri. You do not need to explain anything to me. I'm here to see your condition. You look so because you eat less. " Said Mariana, trying to calm her daughter.

Putri hugged her mother tighter, and for some reason, she became a little relieved because she has expressed all her feelings.

Without Putri and her mother knowing, Wira listened from behind the door of Putri's room.

Wira was thinking at that time. But since that incident, Wira began to realize that her sister just needed more attention.

Three months passed, Putri became a quiet figure. More alone, spend more time resting on the school park bench.

At least in that place, Putri could avoid the gazes of her friends, avoiding the whispers of her friends about the terrible incident.

Fia already has new friends. Even Putri sees that Fia has many friends from other classes.

As for Nada and Ria, they always walk together. Occasionally they are seen with Fia in the school library.

Putri realized that her friends no longer wanted to be near Putri.

Once his friends (Fia, Ria, and Nada) tried to approach Putri. Instead, Putri chose to stay away from them.
