Your silence is killing me
EP.6 Problems

Lyra was called to the lecturer's room and she was sure this would be a big problem. Sure enough, he came, Jeny as a lecturer there who was notoriously fierce had been waiting for him.

"Excuse me." said Lyra knocking on the door and allowed herself to enter.

"So you're the thief" said Jeny.

"Sorry mom, can I explain my situation?" ask Lyra.

"What situation? what else you want to explain is that it's clear that you're stealing" Jeny said.

"Then how did Candy know that the book was in my locker?? I didn't even know the book was in my locker. Then why would I steal it when I have it?" said Lyra.

"Ck avoid you usually.it's true there is no such thing as a thief admitting his actions." said Jeny.

"Then, can you show me the cctv in the locker area??" tanya Lyra challenged Jeny.

"It's so bad of you. Who do you think you are?? you're just a scholarship boy." Jeny said.

"Then, do I have no right to defend myself?? I don't have the right to speak the truth?" ask Lyra.

"No, you have no right" said Jeny.

"Then what's the point of the big poster behind mom??" tanya Lyra pointed to a large poster about the right to speak and get justice.

"Ck. You're the bottom of it. You're suspended until the campus decides on a punishment for a thief like you" Jeny said.

"Good ma'am, thanks for the time" Lyra said.

Lyra came out of Jeny's room upset. Plus there are other items found in his locker in the form of lost items belonging to other children. Until Lyra was ridiculed to have the disease "Kleptomania". A disease that is an impulse control disorder that produces an irresistible urge to steal.

Lyra felt claustrophobic as people started talking about her. Moreover, every one who saw it they immediately pointed and nicknamed him the Kleptomania. Lyra ran to the quiet park and cried so much that no one would see her.

How could all those things be in his locker. And again he never took anyone's property. Not to mention if Jasmine mother heard it for sure she would be very disappointed. Or even the college has contacted him. It feels like he is really finished, maybe he can also be expelled from this campus.

"Why is my life so poor.?? wh why?? whatwouldmywrong?? hiks.hiks.." murmured Lyra.

Dion appears there and calms Lyra down, because from this morning both Dion and Santi are looking for her. They also can't believe what's happened on campus in the last few days. And they knew exactly that Lyra had the book .

"Lyr." said Dion.

"Do you want to call me kleptomania like everyone else?" ask Lyra.

"No, I know you didn't" Dion said.

"Huaa.. Dion you know me, don't you. I can't be, right?? you even know that I have the book, too." said Lyra in tears.

"I know you didn't, we were with Santi together, so there's no way I don't know" Dion said.

"Dion, am I gonna get kicked out of this college?" ask Lyra.

"I don't know Lyra, but you don't give up. There's still me and Santi" Dion hugged her to calm her down.

Then Dion comforted her while waiting for Santi in the park. Dion knew that Lyra was embarrassed if there were in the crowd of other students. Dion also lends him his jacket and hat to keep Lyra from being recognized by anyone.

☘☘☘

Meanwhile, Santi is struggling as a witness that Lyra is innocent of the book incident.

"I have proof sir that Lyra is innocent" Santi said.

"Santi, Kleptomania is a disease. surely he will not admit it." said Mr. Sandi.

"Sir, isn't this book what Candy means?" santi asked him to show me a book.

"Well, who does this belong to?" ask Sandi.

"This belongs to Lyra. I just see there is the name of Lyra there and there is also a note written Lyra" said Santi.

"It's true that this belongs to Lyra, but how is Santi?" ask Mr. Sandi.

"Sir, please check the cctv." said Santi pleading.

"Father will try to talk and it is likely that Lyra will undergo some tests" said Mr. Sandi.

"Sir please help Lyra, you know that Lyra is a good boy" said Santi pleading.

"You know son, but you can't promise." said Mr. Sandi.

"Alright sir, I beg for his help." said Santi then excuse me.

Santi was out of the room Mr. Sandi, he hoped Mr. Sandi would help Lyra. Moreover, it's impossible for Lyra to steal a book that she clearly already has.

Then Santi approached Dion who was calming Lyra in the garden. He also entertained Lyra who was sad and not confident because of the ridicule of other class children who could somehow spread so quickly.

Meanwhile Candy goes to Jeny's room to confirm Lyra's punishment.

"How's mom?" ask Candy.

"Sstt. I told you to call me Jeny's mom on campus" Jeny said.

"Sorry, so how's mom?" ask Candy.

"Lyra insisted on seeing the cctv locker" Jeny said.

"But I didn't show it, did I?" ask Candy.

"Of course not. It's clear he's the thief." said Jeny.

"Mom isn't he just kicked out of this college?" ask Candy.

"We'll see what happens after the meeting" Jeny said.

"I wish he had left campus today" Candy said.

That's how Candy, she can get into this campus with the help of her mother who is a lecturer. And now he's trying to slander Lyra for not liking her plus a senior he likes and he likes Lyra.

☘☘☘

Lyra's news on campus soon reached Jasmine's phone. At first Jasmine becomes suspicious when Lyra apologizes for causing trouble on her campus. Then Jasmine understood as soon as she got word from the Lyra campus. Jasmine is also called as the guardian of Lyra. He did not believe what the campus was talking about and wanted to ask for an examination of his foster children.

Meanwhile, Lyra, also returned to the orphanage in a doldrums. But he was relieved that Jasmine believed him and did not believe what he was accused of. Lyra will also rest and cannot return to campus because she is undergoing a suspension period. Not to mention he had to undergo a psychological examination to confirm and prove that he did not have Kleptomania disease.

Meanwhile, Dion and Santi could not stay still. They try to see the cctv anyway. And help came from Fero, the senior who likes Lyra. Voluntarily Fero meets Dion and Santi and proposes an idea to steal the cctv and upload it on the campus forum.

"We're doing it tonight" said Fero.

"If you're found out how's brother?" ask Santi.

"Listen, it's not easy so we have to be careful for Lyra" Fero said.

"Alright, but you don't regret it because you're a senior" Dion said.

"I'm not going to blame you, and I'm going to admit that this was my idea" Fero said.

"Okay deal." said Dion.

"Deal.." said Santi.

They will also do the action tonight.
