Episode 19; Son of the Foundation Chair

The existence of the Anggara family is very helpful to Lena. Lena and Mama went to school that afternoon. Mama will take care of the problems Lena faces. Mom's decision that afternoon was already round. Whatever happens, Lena will only stay until the class increases.

“We don't care if you are willing to be Renatta's guardian, Mom...” said the Principal nervously, “I will guarantee that Renatta will be fine at this school..”.

Lena smiled smirkily. Although he was happy to finish his studies here but his heart could not survive in the midst of people who wanted to throw it away. He also did not want to be considered as a person who took advantage of the kindness of the Anggara family.

“No!” mama replied firmly, making Lena look surprised, “I will only send my child to school until class!”

“Alright if you do want it, I do not want my son one school with him.” said the Guardian of the student arrogantly.

“True, I also agree.” like a tadpole, the student's parents got the courage to speak after being frightened by the firm and loud aura emanating from Mama.

“Bu...Please calm down Mom...” the principal scolds the student's guardian nervously.

“Moreover me! Nor do I want Renatta one school with your children..” Mama Renov looked at the headmaster sharply, “asal just know the mothers, I built this school not to accommodate immoral and ethical children...” Mama's words not only make Lena surprised but also all the people in the room. This school belongs to the Anggara family? Did Lena not hear wrong? Lena saw that her principal could only bow to hear her. So right?

“I will make sure that everyone involved in yesterday's incident will get the appropriate punishment.” Mama standing from her seat, “Come!” her call made Lena wake up and stand up to follow Mama who came out of the room.

“How is this Sir? Why didn't you tell us that he was the Chairman of the Foundation?” the room turned noisy as Mama and Lena walked out of it.  They originally planned to do everything in their power to get Lena expelled. But the results were reversed, the guardians of the students who were invited to the meeting were forced to agree to the decision because from the beginning they had lost. They did not expect that their opponent was the head of the Foundation directly.

“I'm sorry Dear Mom, Mama's decision has been unanimous, enough until Renatta's class increase and Renov's graduation.” Mama told Lena as they both walked out of the meeting room, “you and Renov do not need to linger in this school, Mama does not sincerely send you here any longer.”.

"Does this school have a mom?" Lena amused herself to hear Mama's words.

"Right, but Mama doesn't like it, you move, choose whatever school you want..."

“But why didn't Mama tell Renatta that Mama is the owner of this school?” Lena still couldn't believe what she heard. It's a really surprising plot twist. If Mama is the Chairman of the Foundation, then what is Papa's job?

“Mama wants to look cool in front of Renatta Mama smiled because success made Lena surprised.

“That's really cool..” Lena grabbed Mama's arm and hugged her.

“Mama needs to change its curriculum so that the children who study here are not as brash as yesterday. Do they need Mama to get it out?” ask her to Lena in earnest.

“Don't Mama.all just don't want her kids to be influenced by what happened to Renatta, that's all... Mama doesn't have to go that far.” Lena calms Mama.

“Who will have a bad influence from you, dear..” Mama then hugged Lena fat when she saw the tenderness of the girl's heart.

“Thank you Ma..”

“But Mama will make sure they get a lesson they won't forget. They should know that judging people as they do to you is not right.” Mama rubbed Lena's back to strengthen her.

“Mama the best anyway..” Lena smiled in Mama Renov's arms. He could really feel the missing thing all this time from Mama's sincerity.

“Alright, you're back in class now. Do I need Mama anter?” Lena shook her head gently and smiled, “well, Mama will pick you up later.” Lena nodded back and walked away from Mama to her class.

“Lena!!” chery yelled as she watched Lena enter the classroom. She ran and hugged her best friend tightly.

“I swear, I can't breathe, Cher!” Lena hit Chery's back to let go.

“Welcome Lena...” said class president Lena, “Sorry, I did not help much yesterday, I fit again sick..”.

“Nothing Son, I understand..” Lena smiled and greeted her friends. He didn't want to think about anything at the moment, he just wanted to end the semester smoothly and leave his friends without any regrets.

Today everything went well, Lena did not get any interference in her school. He also did not leave class until after the lesson. Reduce the risk that might happen to him.

“You're coming home with?” tawar Chery's.

“Nggak Cher, I was picked up by Mama.” Chery raised her eyebrows not understanding. The mama?

“Mama Mas Renov..” was clear Lena when she saw the confusion from Chery's face. Chery thought that the one who picked Lena up was Renov, but this is her mother.

“Means?”

“Gue lives in Mas Renov's house now, my guardian while this is the Anggara family, the story is on display but the point is like that.” explained Lena.

“Diem! This is between us!” threaten Lena. He let go of his arms after Chery nodded with promise.

“Gue wasn't completely happy with all this coincidence, nobody wanted this right Len? But hearing someone take care of you at this time makes me happy and relieved.” Lena agreed with Chery. For others who did not experience the pain of Lena certainly being able to stay with the Renov family was an amazing thing, but for Lena all this was so confusing. He cannot be completely happy, but he cannot be completely sad. His feelings are uncertain, all he can do is accept what is.

Chery accompanies Lena until Mama Renov comes to pick her up. Chery doesn't want to leave her best friend alone to face this cruel world again. He will also take care of the girl wholeheartedly while in this school.

“Siang Aunt, I am Chery..” greet Chery.

“Hi Chery, you are sweet as your name, friend Renatta?” mom's question confused Chery. Renatta's call was so unfamiliar in his ears.

“Ah, yes Aunt, yes..” replied Chery stuttered.

“Please keep Renatta at school yes.” Mama said as she grabbed Lena's shoulder. Swiping it slowly, making Chery again stunned to see the attitude of Mama Renov. What exactly is Renov and his family like? Are all the rumors that have been circulating all this time not true?

“Iya Aunt, sure.”.

“Then we say yes Cher..” say goodbye to Mama while shaking Chery's hand before getting into the car.

“Gue first yes, thanks..” Lena waved her hand and followed Mama into the car.

“Be careful...” said Chery before they disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief. May Lena always be in the protection of kind-hearted people, her prayer.

“Nothing happened at school?” ask your mom after they leave school.

“No Mama, just relax. Everything is fine...” Lena replied honestly. The two fell silent again until Lena finally ventured to say her plan to move to Jogja.

“Ma, Renatta will remain on the original plan. Renatta is really grateful Mama and the family want to accommodate Renatta, but Renatta can not forever hide, right Ma? So Renatta will keep moving..” Lena opened the topic that had bothered her many times.

“Are you not sad to part with Renov?” mama's question was beyond Lena's expectations.

“Mas Renov will stay in Bandung Ma, Renatta does not want the existence of Renatta will make Mas Renov worried about the road he had planned.” replied Lena honestly. It is also one of the things that makes Lena feel heavy living there.

“No dear, if you stay with us, Mama is sure Renov's feelings will be calmer during his education there.” replied Mama encouraging Lena, “Lagian, sure very if Renov is accepted!”

“Ih Mama!” Lena laughed at Mama's joke. Maybe he thinks his son failed the test.

Mama smiled at Lena, “Mama understands once you like that, Son but Mama or Papa do not mind to take care of you, you we already consider like Mama's own child.”

Lena was moved to hear Mama's words. Those words were the best words he had heard to date, he was truly grateful to hear them, “wherever Renatta was, Mama will always be the figure Renatta yearns for. Renatta just wants to rearrange Renatta's life, Ma. No other means, really..” replied Lena honestly.

“Renatta likes Mas Renov, but Renatta is thrown from Renatta's world and injured in many places, Renatta just wants to improve Renatta's life and heart in order to be a girl who deserves to be Mas Renov, who is not a girl, Ma”, Lena grasps Mama's hand, “Mama also wants to have a daughter that Mama can be proud of right?”

“You've always been the pride of Mama, dear. Mama knows you are independent and Mama will respect your decision as well as yours. Mama's house is always open to welcome you home.” Mama then rubbed Lena's head with pride. They got home and got out of the car.

“Ma please don't tell Mas Renov first yes Ma...” Lena stopped Mama's steps.

“Why?”

“Let Lena say later.”.

“Good..” My mother hugged her daughter. Mama's hug really makes Lena's heart calm, she has started to get used to receiving hugs from Mama Renov's, “Renatta really wants Mas Renov to focus on his college in Bandung. Our journey to be together with responsibility is still long, right, Ma?”

“Iya, Mama knows. For Mama your future is all that matters. There's nothing we can do for the past other than save it, remember it's fine, dear.”, Mama pats Renatta's shoulder with a feeling of relief. He was grateful that Renov had found such an amazing girl.

“Can I join?” without waiting for a response, Renov hugged the two women.
