Playing Victim

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. How are you, Putri?" Mega asked.

Putri became awkward when Mega asked how she was. Shouldn't he be the one asking how Mega is doing?

"Me? I'm fine," said Putri, stammering.

Mega didn't remove the smile on her face, even though there was only silence between the two of them.

"I didn't think you would come back to this school again." Putri decided to open the conversation. Mega, who heard Putri's question, did not look at Putri at all.

"So what?" This time Mega turned and looked at Putri's face with a smile. "You don't like it?" she asked innocently.

Putri immediately reacted to Mega's question.

"Of course, I'm glad to see you come back to the school. I thought you..."

Putri tried to continue her words, but Mega interrupted her explanation.

"You think I'm scared? Or traumatized? Or will disappear after that incident?" This time there was no smile given by Mega, a sharp and angry look made Putri uncomfortable.

"No, Mega. That's not what I meant." Putri again tried to explain.

"I'm glad you're back. I know what I did was a big mistake, and I want to fix everything."

"Enough, Putri." Mega holds her own hands tightly, holding back her anger towards Putri.

"You don't know what I've been through since that incident," Mega spoke again, her voice shaking with anger.

"Sorry, Mega. I know I'm selfish." Putri could only look down in shame.

"Selfish, you say?" Mega smiled slightly at Putri's answer.

"You are evil. You are so cruel, Putri." Mega brushed her hair behind her shoulders.

"Do you remember ever making this wound?" Mega brushed her bangs. Her forehead was visible, which did not have any wounds.

Putri looked at her in confusion. "It's nothing," said Putri innocently, and Mega didn't seem to like her words.

"The wound is gone, but I can still feel how it hurts." Mega shows her saddest face in front of Putri, who is increasingly feeling guilty.

"Mega, sorry. Please forgive me. I'm so sorry for everything I did that time." Putri looks very sad and feels sorry for Mega. Now she has started to rearrange her mood to look calm.

Mega took a deep breath before replying to Putri's words. "It's so funny, Putri. When you say you're sorry," Mega straightened her bangs. "After that incident, have you ever come looking for me and directly apologized?" Mega didn't look at Putri's face, just stared at the front.

Putri just looked down shyly and played with her fingers nervously.

"Do you know, Putri? For two weeks, I was in a coma in the hospital?" There was a tremor in Mega's voice, and Putri was surprised to hear this. No one said that Mega was in a coma after the incident.

"Mega, I don't know about your condition. I swear, no one has told me about your condition. I've tried asking about your condition many times, but everyone avoids talking to me." Putri holds Mega's hands, hoping that Mega will believe her story.

Mega holds Putri's hand but does not return the grip. She let go of Putri's hand carefully.

"Not only that, Putri. After I woke up from the coma, you left too deep a wound (Mega touched her forehead)." Mega's face is now starting to turn red, and tears can be seen.

Mega immediately wiped her tears. "At first, I was confused. How come you didn't receive any punishment? Yes, I know! With all the power and wealth you have. You can be free from everything, right?" Mega said very sharply, making Putri who heard it, not believe that Mega could talk like that.

"At first, I refused all the help given by your family. But wouldn't it be stupid if I had to live with such pitiful conditions." Mega took another breath,

"Mega, I don't know anything about that. Please forgive me." Putri, who had only looked down in shame, could only glance at Mega, who was still sitting beside her and didn't dare to look at Mega's face, which was holding back anger against her.

"I don't know how much therapy and medication I have done, but only my physical condition is being treated and not my mind," said Mega continued and did not care about Putri's words.

This time Mega rose from her seat and walked towards Putri. Now Mega is right in front of the sitting Putri.

Putri looked at Mega, who was expressionless.

"I'm sorry, Mega. If there's anything I can do to make things right," said Putri seriously.

Mega, who was standing right in front of her, suddenly stretched out her hand.

Putri was surprised by Mega's reaction. Did she want to shake hands? was this a sign that they would make up? Putri was confused, and suddenly she got up from her seat.

This time they were face to face, and the disciples in the garden were watching them intently.

"You want to forgive me?" asked Putri in confusion. And Mega just gave a smile with her hand still stretched out to Putri.

Putri also welcomed Mega's outstretched hand, hoping they could shake hands and make peace.

What happened next was a start and a nightmare for Putri.

Mega gripped Putri's hand very tightly, so tightly Putri couldn't let go of Mega's hand.

Not stopping there, Mega then pushed her own body towards Putri.

Putri wobbles a little and holds Mega's body with her other hand. Still confused about what Mega did, at the same time, Mega pushed her body quite hard. Not towards Putri but in the opposite direction. Mega immediately fell on the ground, which was quite hard.
