On a sunny day during their lunch break at Montessori school, Arlon and Liliana found themselves sitting together, engrossed in conversation. The topic at hand was Arlon's younger brother, a source of ongoing concern for both of them. Liliana sympathised with Arlon's frustration, as she had witnessed his brother's bullying behaviour firsthand. They discussed possible strategies to help Arlon's brother understand the impact of his actions and hopefully change his behaviour. They agreed to approach their teacher for guidance and support in addressing the issue.
Liliana leaned in closer to Arlon, her voice hushed as she began to speak. "Arlon, I need to tell you something about your brother," she started, her expression grave.
Arlon, attentive to Liliana's words, looked at her with a mix of curiosity and worry. "What is it?" he asked, sensing the seriousness of the matter.
Liliana took a deep breath before continuing. "Your brother, aside from being an arrogant bully, has been displaying some inappropriate behaviour towards me," she revealed, her voice tinged with discomfort.
Arlon's eyes widened in shock, and he leaned in closer, urging her to go on. "What kind of behaviour?" he inquired, his concern deepening.
Liliana hesitated for a moment, choosing her words carefully. "One time," she recounted, "as he approached me, he immediately reached out and started petting my cheeks. He even dared to say that I'm so beautiful, as he is looking straight at my breasts," she explained, a mixture of anger and unease evident in her voice. "I had to slap him to make him stop."
Arlon's face contorted with a mix of anger and embarrassment. He was deeply troubled by his brother's inappropriate actions and comments. He knew that his brother's behaviour was completely unacceptable and disrespectful towards girls. Arlon couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility to address the issue and ensure that his brother understood the gravity of his actions. He decided to have a serious conversation with his brother, emphasising the importance of consent and boundaries. Arlon also made it clear that he would not tolerate any further mistreatment of women, especially those close to him. He hoped that by confronting his brother, he could help him learn from his mistakes and grow into a more respectful individual.
"I'm so sorry you had to go through that," he replied, his voice filled with sympathy. "My brother can be incredibly worldly and disrespectful. He used to be a Catholic, but he's become so obsessed with media that features profanity and wrestling. Now he claims he's not a Christian anymore and wants to be more secular."
Liliana nodded in understanding. "I figured as much," she said. "But that doesn't excuse his behaviour. No one should have to endure that kind of treatment."
Arlon agreed wholeheartedly. "You did the right thing by defending yourself," he reassured her. "We need to let the school faculty know about this and also inform our friends Penny, Evelyn, Sandra, and Ella. They should be aware of what's been happening."
Liliana nodded, relieved to have Arlon's support. She knew that together, they could take the necessary steps to address the issue and ensure that no one else had to experience such uncomfortable encounters with Arlon's younger brother. Liliana couldn't shake off the unease she felt whenever Arlon's younger brother was around. She knew it was important to confront the issue head-on and protect others from similar encounters. With Arlon by her side, she felt empowered to approach the school faculty and rally their friends for support. Together, they would create a safer environment for everyone, ensuring that no one else would have to endure the discomfort she had faced.
As the lunch break continued, Arlon and Liliana made a plan to report the inappropriate behaviour to their school's faculty. They were determined to stand up against any form of misconduct and create a safe and respectful environment for everyone. Their friendship, built on understanding and support, only grew stronger as they faced this challenge together. Their determination to take action and hold individuals accountable for their actions was fueled by their shared belief in justice and equality. They knew that by reporting the inappropriate behaviour, they were not only advocating for themselves but also for any future students who might face similar situations. Arlon and Liliana were determined to make a lasting impact and ensure that their school was a place where every student felt safe, valued, and respected.
