When I've Glowed Up
# 4. Receive a Scholarship
The clock shows at eight o'clock. Belva who overslept because tired of crying lamenting his fate was awakened because of the sound of the notification tone of incoming messages on his phone.
Belva fingered the mattress to pick up her phone. Then he opened his eyes to see who the sender of the message was, but it turned out that the message was from an unknown number.
Belva, who has not been aware of one hundred percent of her sleep, opened the incoming message.
XXX: Goodnight, we from Simeon's Group congratulate Miss Belvania on your selection to receive a scholarship to country P from our company. If you are interested in taking this scholarship you can go directly to the company Simeon's Group by showing this message.
That's the message from the unknown number.
"Ish... a new fraud mode!" Gutter Belva while reading the message.
Belva did not respond to the message but did not delete it. He saw the clock on his phone. His eyes widened when he saw the clock had shown at eight.
Instantly Belva's consciousness gathered 100%. Belva sat himself down.
"Auw.." ringis Belva felt pain in the back of his waist.
Slowly Belva got out of her bed.
"Good god it hurts." Belva complained but as hard as he could he walked out of his room.
With a tricked step Belva down the stairs.
Once downstairs, Belva hears the sound of people laughing from the living room, which Belva believes is the sound of Om Tora, Aunt Monika and Cellia. Belva paused for a moment on the stairs.
Feeling that someone was watching from the stairs, Om Tora looked back.
"Belva. You're awake." Sapa Om Tora's.
Belva just threw a smile at Om Tora.
"Here baby, join." Said Om Tora again.
Cellia's eyes immediately glared as if she wanted to say 'don't come here!!'.
"Belva wants to eat first, Om."
"You haven't eaten yet, said your aunt you've eaten." Om Tora asked as she glanced at his wife.
"So it was Om, but now it's laper again." Reply Belva who knows that Aunt Monika has fooled Om Tora.
"Oh yeah, eat there." Say Om Tora.
Belva also continued his steps towards the kitchen with a limp step.
Seeing Belva's steps limped like a person in pain, Om Tora stood up from her seat and walked over to Belva.
"Aren't you pa-pa?" Ask Om Tora.
"No pa-pa, no, no." Replied Belva while lowering her head.
Feeling that nothing was right with his nephew, Om Tora lifted Belva's chin to see Belva's face. How surprised Om Tora was to see Belva's bruised face.
"Why is your face bruised gini Bel? You got hit? Same who? Say the same Om, don't be afraid, don't shut it." Say Om Tora.
"Mm.." Belva hesitates to reveal the identity of the perpetrator of the persecution to her.
Cellia who was afraid that Belva would tell her the real events in her Papa quickly walked up to Belva.
"Gosh Bel, must be your senior who ngelakuin this again the same you? How are you getting it!!! People like your seniors must be taught once in a while so they do not oppress you constantly like this." Cellia.
"So you've been in the same bully as your senior?" Tanya Om Tora investigated in a high tone.
Belva kept silent and did not answer.
"Om going to report your senior to the dean!" Threatening to Tora.
"Don't Om. No need to."
"How are you!! This is a criminal act!!"
"So it was Belva who was wrong Om, because Belva accidentally spilled a drink into a senior paper. That's why the senior got angry with Belva."
"Remain Bel, even if you're wrong, but you don't deserve to be treated like this."
"Later if they do this again, we will report to Om." Belva said while glancing at Cellia as if to give a warning also to Cellia.

Next day.
The bruise on Belva's face had deflated, the pain throughout his body was also not too painful anymore. Belva encouraged herself to go to college.
Today he looks different from his usual day. If the day usually his hair is always cepol ala-ala mbok jamu, today he took off his hair. And if on a normal day he only wears baby powder onto his face, today he is polishing a bit of solid Fiction powder onto his face. If the affairs of the lips are usually Belva always wear lipgloss and today he also smeared the lipgloss to his lips a little thick. Not to forget he also sprayed jasmine parfume into his body.
After finishing with all the rituals of Belva's version of the change in appearance, Belva came out of her room and went downstairs to join the breakfast with Om Tora, Aunt Monika and Cellia.
But not until Belva went into the dining room, Cellia and Aunt Monika covered her nose for smelling jasmine.
Seeing Aunt Monika and Cellia close their noses, Belva realizes that they closed their noses because of Belva.
"Cih.pake parfume what the hell is this ash pick!!! How it smells!! Wanna go to college if you want to go to school!!" Dumel Cellia in his heart.
Belva ignored the cynical eyes of Aunt Monika and Cellia, she remained seated on the chair and started her breakfast.
After completing his stomach, Belva went to college by using an online ojek because Belva campus was not in line with Om Tora's office and Cellia campus.
After about half an hour in the dust of the streets, finally the online motorcycle taxi that brought Belva to the campus. Belva also came down from the top of the motorbike and gave money according to the rates listed on the application. Then step his foot into the campus area.
When he arrived at the campus building, all eyes looked at Belva while whispering and there was also a small laugh.
Belva frowned confused as to why everyone was looking at her.
"Is there something wrong with my clothes? Is my makeup too thick? Did I not pantes yah untie the hair?" As Belva walked while wondering in his heart.
Belva turned her body to see who was calling her.
"Yes." Yeah." Reply Belva. He did not name the girl who called him because Belva did not know what the girl's name was.
"You know that the video of you shooting Bams' brother is already widespread." Said the girl.
"Who-you mean?"
The girl pulled out her phone and showed a video of Belva shooting Bams.
Belva's eyes widened.
"Th-this.."
"This video is widespread across campus. That's why now people are on your feet laughing." Lata the girl.
Belva also looked around him and right now there are many eyes that look at Belva with a mocking look.
"Can there be this video?" Ask Belva with trembling lips.
"Who else did it if it wasn't Bams' brother. Brother Bams is that, he's pretentious good as a weak man but the turn of the weak man baper with his kindness, Brother Bams will humiliate the man." Said the girl was warming up to Belva.
"Self woy!!! Face below standard a sober-sook shoot Bams!!" Shouted one of the students.
"Loe loe!!" Other student timpal.
And many more students who join nyeletuk gossiping Belva.
Unable to stand the gossip that was pointed at him, Belva also ran from the place while crying. He ran to find Bams' whereabouts to ask for an explanation.
Seeing Belva leave, the girl who called Belva smiled with satisfaction.
"Not to be a fool!!" The girl muttered in her heart. Yes, the girl is Jessica, the one who has recorded and spread the video.
***
Belva keeps running to find Bams, and it turns out that Bams is laughing with his friends behind campus. Belva thinks Bams is laughing at his success at humiliating Belva. Whereas Bams and his friends were laughing about the silliness of Spongebob and Patrik instead of laughing at Belva. Not even Bams knew about the video.
Without first confirming to Bams, Belva went from her spot to peek at Bams. He went to the toilet to shed his tears.
While crying, suddenly Belva's phone rang, a sign of incoming messages on his phone. Belva opened her phone and read the incoming message. The same message from an unknown number last night, a message offering a scholarship to Country P.
Belva who was already hurt mixed with shame, and felt like re-entering her mother's womb, without thinking straight to go to the company with the aim of taking the scholarship.
Belva is now in Simeon's Group.
Belva gaped at the shape of the company building, a towering building.
"Is this really Simeon's Group?" Belva Mumbles.
Not wanting curiosity to control her heart and mind, Belva walked into the building and walked to the reception desk.
"Good day Buk." Say hello to Belva to the woman at the reception desk.
"Yes good afternoon. Can I help you?" Ask the receptionist.
"Look, I received a message that I got a scholarship from this company."
"Can I see the message?"
Belva pulled out her phone and showed me a message sent by an unknown number.
After seeing the message, the receptionist smiled and picked up the phone on his desk and connected to the desk of Mr. Simeon's personal assistant, Mr. Adrian.
The receptionist was ordered to take Belva to the floor where Mr. Simeon's office was located.
"Let's send my missus along." Said the receptionist.
"So well buk, I got a scholarship." Ask Belva who still does not believe. At first, Belva thought it was just a scam.
The receptionist nodded her head while smilingly answering Belva's question.
Ting. The elevator doors opened, indicating that they had reached the floor where Mr. Simeon's office was located.
"Welcome Miss Belvania." Greetings Mr. Adrian.
"Include me Adrian, Mr. Simeon's personal assistant." Mr. Adrian said again as he extended his hand to shake hands with Belva.
Belva was happy to welcome Mr. Adrian's hand.
"Since Mr. Simeon is not in this country, so I will explain the scholarship to you and the requirements that must be met." Said Mr. Adrian.
"Let's go with me, Miss." Mr. Adrian also walked first and followed Belva from behind.
Arriving at Mr. Adrian's office, Mr. Adrian immediately thrust a brown envelope in front of Belva.
"Please read the agreement in advance, if you agree, you can sign it immediately." Said Mr. Adrian.
Belva took the envelope and opened it and read the written agreement.
Because he felt that all the contents of the agreement were nothing to burden him, Belva immediately signed it.
"It's Mr." Belva said as he handed back the letter.
"Well, Miss. Starting today, you don't have to go home or to college. Because we'll take you to the apartment before you we're off to Country P." Said Mr. Adrian.
"When do I leave?"
"Tonight." Sir Adrian replied with a meaningful smile.
