Mafia

9.

~ Every season may pass, but can I stay in your heart?~

Kara's inner voice for Alendra.

***

It felt like he wanted to get rid of all the lumps that had grown so long. All this time, he had only kept it by pretending to be superior in front of his younger cousin. Pupus hates that kind of feeling. His mind refused, but his heart did not want logic.

"You naughty boy! Perverted brain!” cried Pupus, groaning in every aisle he passed. The girl left Alex's class quickly.

Dropped back into his class. In all his life, Pupus had never been that close to a boy. And Alex dared to treat himself so disrespectfully. But what was that pounding? Why did Pupus feel trembling. Even now.

“That insolent Alex!” he shouted in class. All his friends looked at him in surprise.

Remove supporting the chin. Snorted in annoyance, still thinking about the unexpected incident earlier. What's this? Why is his heart still shaking? Oh, annoyed!!

Erase the traces. Then run to the toilet. He was acting weird. Like misbehaving. Pupus constantly remembers Alex like not as a brother. But...

Ah!

Annoyed!!

Annoyed!

Annoyed!

Pupus bent his face many times over. Looking at his face in the toilet mirror.

"Watch out for that Alex!" he grumbled groggily.

Take a breath again. Then slowly let it out again.

"He's Alex my brother right? Brandal who likes to cause trouble?” he said to himself, “why does he pretend not to know? That's how he uses branded items again! Has he really become a reliable thief now?”

Pupus out of the toilet nagging. He spoke to himself. Then stop by the student council room.

"Eh, Pus... Your term of office is only a month away, you know. Preparations for the election of the new student council chair will be carried out, you know, "said Sari, one of the student council members.

Pupus sighed, “This morning I had time to go to the principal's room. He said go ahead."

"Ha?" Sari gawked, "Then how about you?"

"How's it going?" asked Pupus.

"Are you serious about running again?"

Disappear nodded.

"Yes, of course...! We just entered grade 3 a month ago. I have at least one year in office until I graduate," he said casually.

His friends know Pupus is chasing income. In this elite school, being the student council president has a monthly salary. And it's also quite large compared to ordinary members.

"You want to support me again right?" said Pupus to his friends there.

No answer.

Silence.

“You don't want to support me?!!!” Disappeared screaming again.

Everyone in the student council room covered their ears. Pupus' habit when he is angry he will scream like a speaker.

"Ready! We definitely support our queen!” said Haydar the vice chairman of the student council.

Pupus patted his back until he said, “getoooo dong! Just my minions!"

"Who do you think is the next candidate?" Kara asked, "besides Pupus!?"

He immediately glared at him. Pupus hopes that none of the students dare to run for office! Including Kara! This mysterious girl always has a checkmate way to refute her.

Mr. Arka and Mrs. Dewi were busy distributing registration forms for the Student Council Chair candidate. The problem of selecting the student council president is the responsibility of the teacher team. The school teaches students to be democratic from an early age.

"Miss Dewi, don't forget to bring brochures to your crowded class, okay?" said Pak Arka after sticking a big poster on the front wall.

"Ready, Arka!"

Mrs. Dewi entered the class. And talk about the election of this student council chairman. The class is very noisy and noisy. Like that every day.

"Kids, shut up!" said Mrs. Dewi.

They fell silent for a moment.

"Today, I want to convey. Who of you here wants to be the student council president?”

Dina immediately raised her hand.

"Besides Dinah? Male student?" asked B Dewi. But none of the male students raised their hands.

Everyone is silent.

“I want from this class, there are those who volunteer from men. Because it is rare for men to become student council presidents. Later, each candidate's data will be selected."

Mrs. Dewi left the class again after giving a pile of forms to the class president. Dina distributed the form to all her classmates.

Alex took the form that was given to him. He skimmed it. Photocopies of candidate forms are distributed as much as possible. Teachers want students to have the initiative to lead. Not only Alex received the form, but also the other students.

Ramon comes to Alex's school. This lawyer wants to negotiate with Alex. The only way to keep his clients free. Its future is also in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Hendra, Yoga's father is focusing on the company's recovery. So he left all the affairs of his son to Ramon. The point is, for Hendra, Yoga must be free.

"Alex is looking for you," said Dina, "Mr. Arka sent you to his office."

"Who?" Alex frowned.

"How would I know," said Dina, "do you want me to accompany you to Pak Arka's office?"

"No need!" Alex replied curtly. He was lazy for sure Dina would cling to him.

"No, I'm coming," said Dina.

Alex walked out of the classroom to the principal's office. Behind him Dina followed him. Arriving at the principal's office, he knocked on the door and greeted.

"Come in, Alex. Mr. Ramon wants to talk to you," said Mr. Arka kindly.

Alex sat in front of the lawyer, while Dina also sat beside him.

"What are you doing with me," Alex said to Dina with an uncomfortable face, "I'm sorry, sir. What is it?"

Ask Alex to open the conversation first.

"Hmmm, it's about Yoga," said Mr. Ramon.

"Oh, that's not me, sir," said Alex, "please call Mr. Marco, my father's assistant."

Alex immediately stood up, about to leave the principal's office.

"Wait, kid!" said Ramon, “but you can persuade him right?”

Alex sighed, “I can't, sir. Because they saw it for themselves that Yoga and his gang ganged up on me. Excuse me!"

Alex immediately left without further ado. Ramon came home empty handed. He plans to meet with Pak Hendra to take care of this.

Not only Ramon confused. Keenan's parents are also dizzy. It was as if the news of Keenan going to prison was a disgrace in the eyes of the family. They are also hiring a lawyer. Cepi's parents are no less embarrassed because his father is an official.

“I want to run for governor in the next election. But my image is bad because of your son!” said Prasetyo to his wife. The woman just looked down without saying anything.

PLAQUE!!

Prasetyo slapped his wife. The woman could only cry.

"You can't educate him," Prasetyo left the room.

Unlike Cepi's parents.

“Who is that Alex? Let me ruin his life too," said Nando. Listen, he's a famous businessman too. He is also one of the biggest donors in the school.

"Boss, I heard, it wasn't Alex who reported them, but someone else," said his men.

“You investigate who Marco is? What's that got to do with Alex?"

"He seems to be just the child's family employee."

"That is, the child's father is not a random person???? That's what you mean, huh?!” Nando kicked his men's ass. Even though the man was sturdier than Nando, but he was afraid to fight him.

“Bbb… that's right, Boss.”

"God damn it! Besides my coal business, aren't we the ones who control the business in this country? All businessmen have to pay taxes to us right?” he said, “I should know who Marco is! Look for him!”

Oh apparently, apart from owning a business, Nando is also a mafia leader. He likes to charge other businessmen illegally rivaling state tax officials. In particular, Nando charges entrepreneurs in the mining sector: most often he collects taxes on entrepreneurs in the coal sector. Called him the coal mafia.

“Okay, Boss!” said one of them, "let's go find Marco!"

This coal mafia gang is threatening the lives of Marco and of course Alex.
