Jagoan nervously reached into his pocket, feeling the fast beating of his heart. He couldn’t help but silently curse his luck, “I had such high hopes for you, but all my efforts seem to be in vain, you’re nothing more than a let down, a disappointment. What a useless piece of junk! Maybe I should toss you to Zachary and let him bury you in the latrine!”

As Claudia entered the bedroom, Jagoan’s attention was immediately drawn to Maria. She was sitting on the chair in front of the desk, looking slightly pale with a worried expression on her face.

Upon seeing Jagoan enter, she quickly rose to her feet, her voice awkward and feeble. “Mr. Wade, I apologize for troubling you to come here so late…”

Jagoan smiled at her and replied, “Miss Cathy, there’s no need for such formality. Since you’re Claudia’s roommate, it’s only right for me to be here.”

Claudia chimed in, “Jagoan, you don’t have to be so polite. Just call her Cathy. It’s fine.”

Then she turned to Maria and said, “Cathy, Jagoan is ten years older than me and almost eleven years older than you. Why don’t you call him Jagoan like I do?”

Maria hesitated for a moment, taken aback by the suggestion, but finally spoke cautiously, “Jagoan…”

Jagoan’s cheerful smile widened. “Since you’re calling me Jagoan, just like Claudia, you’re more than welcome. Cathy, Claudia informed me about your terrible headache. What’s going on? Can you tell me about it?”

Maria couldn’t help but inwardly curse, “Jagoan, you scoundrel! It’s all thanks to you that I’m suffering from this excruciating headache, yet here you are pretending like nothing’s wrong, asking me what’s happening. Don’t you have any shame?”

Though she felt aggrieved, she dared not let Jagoan see it. She gently pressed her temple with one hand and said sadly, “I don’t know what’s happening. I was perfectly fine until the day I started school. Suddenly, I developed this unbearable headache. It feels like countless needles are piercing my brain, connected by a thread that’s tugging with each pulse. The pain is agonizing, as if my head might explode… I’ve been taking painkillers, but they hardly make a difference. In fact, I even passed out at home…”
