Behind All Changes
Chapter 1
In the middle of the garden with heavy rain, stood a girl who looked to stare at the sky.
The girl did not care about her health. No need for thunderous sounds.
Accidentally passing a fancy car with a man in it. The man accidentally saw the girl's behavior.
"That's weird. Why do girls today play in the rain, it's big but like children? Moreover, this rain is very heavy plus the lightning is very strong again," murmured the man.
The man dared to approach the girl with an umbrella in his hand.
"Hey Miss, aren't you shy about playing the rain grown up?" Ask the man.
The girl did not reply to the man. Don't just turn back, he didn't.
"Miss," the man dared to touch the girl's shoulder.
Suddenly the girl turned to look with a sharp gaze that seemed to want to swallow the life of the person who disturbed her. But the man ignored the sharp look of the girl, he looked more seriously at the girl's red eyes.
"Look at that your eyes are red, how long have you been playing in the rain? Aren't you thinking about your parents?" Scold the man.
The girl simply looked at the man with eyes that were hard to decipher. Just this time there was someone who dared to rebuke him. After almost half a year he stood in the rain. This man was the first to rebuke his attitude.
"What do you care?" Ask the girl coldly.
"Miss, gohome. Later you can get sick," said the gentle man.
"My parents just don't care about me, why do you care" the girl said.
"Well, you go home soon or else your parents will be worried" the girl said.
The man went from there into the car. But he didn't run his car. He was afraid that when the girl suddenly fainted and no one would help him.
Not long after the rain stopped, the girl also moved from her place to go home. Seeing that the man also drove his car home after not seeing the girl again.

When she arrived at the house, the girl stepped up the stairs.
"Hey, you. How dare you come home this late at night," the very fierce scream was familiar, she was the stepmother of the girl.
The girl ignored the cry of her stepmother and continued her steps.
"Lidya," the voice of a man, he was the real father of the girl named Lidya.
"You call me, Om?" Ask Lidya.
"Lidya you are a brash child. You should listen to your mother, don't just argue," Lidya's father snapped.
"Mother which you mean, Om. My mother is gone" said Lidya.
"Lidya," snapped Lidya's father.
Lidya who did not want to prolong the matter immediately continued her steps towards her room. Shouts from his father he ignored.
After arriving in the room, Lidya immediately climbed onto the bed without changing her clothes.
For him his health was useless, because no one cared about him. What is he doing to maintain health, for whom will he survive? For his father who even remarried even less than a week his mother died? Or for her stepmother who could only scold her? For friends? No, no, no Lidya is a cold person, how could she have any friends? Even for just being close, NO.
***
Next day.
Lidya was well-groomed with a long-sleeved shirt and a skirt below the knee. Not to forget his backpack was on his shoulders and the hair he ponytailed. Ok, ready. Lidya immediately slid down to leave.
Passing through the dining room.
"Lidya, let's eat first" asked Stepmother Lidya.
"I'm late, I'll eat outside" Lidya said, continuing his steps.
"I went Om, Auntie," said Lidya.
"Lidya for what are you going to college for? That's not necessary. Your father's money is enough to finance your life" said Lidya's stepmother.
"I'm in college or not, it's none of your business. I did not go to college with your husband's money either" Lidya said.
Soon Lidya went away from there, because it was time. He had to attend a call from the Dean of his campus.
***
Arriving at the campus, Lidya immediately went to the Dean's office. After getting the message from within, Lidya entered.
"Please sit down Lidya" said Dean Uly.
Lidya sat in front of Dean Uly's desk and next to someone Lidya didn't really care about.
"Lidya introduced this Kelvin, the 5th semester business management boy," said Dean Uly.
"And Kelvin, this is Lidya's first-semester business management son" said the Dean.
"Kelvin" said Kelvin, holding out his hand.
"Lidya," Lidya replied, turning to Kelvin.
"You," said Kelvin shocked to see Lidya's face.
"Sorry, do you know me?" Ask Lidya.
He felt that he did not recognize the human face in front of him.
"We don't know each other. But you're a strange girl standing in the rain yesterday, right?" Ask Kelvin.
Yes, he was the man, the same man who first rebuked Lidya's strange nature.
Instead of answering, Lidya looked back at Dean Uly.
"Dean Uly, what did you call me?" Ask Uly to the point.
"Look, it's in touch with the Olympics that will be held in two months. We on campus want you two to be participants" said Dean Uly.
"Sorry Dean Uly, I didn't mean to refuse. But I am still a 1st semester boy" said Lidya.
"But the potential is enough, Lidya. You're a smart kid and we believe in your ability that will make us proud" Dean Uly said.
"If indeed you believe I can, I will try to do it" said Lidya in a tone as usual. Cold there is not the slightest warm.
"Thank you Lidya" said Dean Uly, who was only replied by Lidya with a nod of his head.
"For you Kelvin, please guide Lidya. Just like Lidya you are also a smart child," said Dean Uly.
"Well, Dean" said Kelvin.
"Every once a week there will be a Lecturer teaching you. So be ready, " Dean Uly said.
Dean Uly took two letters from his desk drawer.
"This is a letter, tell your parents as a sign that they allow you to participate in the Olympic activities" Dean Uly said, holding out two letters to two people in front of him.
"Well, Dean" Kelvin said, receiving the letter.
Lidya also received the letter without confirming the words of her Dean.
"You can go home now. Don't forget to study and lack your playing time" advises Dean Uly.
"Good, Dean. Thank you for trusting us to be proud of the name of this campus" Kelvin said.
While Lidya had come out first after giving a part in the form of a head down.
