DARREN'S HATRED

Go to School Again

[Zordi Residence]

All the family members gathered at the dinner table. They will perform the ritual of the morning that is breakfast together.

This morning they had breakfast with their favorite grandchildren and nephews. Who else if not Erica Zordi.

Erica uses eight clans behind her name because she was adopted or adopted as well as eight fathers. The clan will be tucked behind his name if he is and lives in the house of one of his adoptive fathers.

"How's Oma's grandson sleeping?"

"Yourself, Oma. Very good."

Hearing the reply from Erica made Revina smile. Valeo, Cakra, Rendy and Rehan.

"Oma was glad to hear that."

"Are you ready for school today, hum?" valeo asked with a smile looking at her grandson.

Erica did not answer the question directly from her grandfather. It was precisely Erica looking at her foster father's face with a slightly frightened look and there was a hint of trauma.

Rehan who saw his adopted daughter looked at him, plus when he saw the gaze of his adopted daughter's eyes. Rehan understands that his adopted daughter is still afraid to go to school. The adopted daughter did not want to meet her friends who had bullied her, especially the parents.

Rehan smiled as his hand gently rubbed the head behind his adopted daughter.

"Papa knows what Erica is thinking. Papa also knows how Erica feels when she's at school." Rehan spoke as his hands continued to play around in the back of his daughter's head, occasionally rubbing her white cheeks gently.

Erica was silent with her head lowered, causing Valeo, Revina, Cakra, Rendy and Rehan to worry.

"Darling, look at Papa."

Erica looked at her father's face. He could see that his father was smiling at him.

"Listen Papa. Everything's gonna be fine. No one will bother you anymore while you are at school. Your other Papa and Papa-Papa have solved the problem. Erica need not be afraid."

"So, how? Are you ready for school today, hum?" ask Rehan to make sure.

Erica stared at the faces of Valeo, Revina, Cakra, Rendy and lastly Rehan. Instantly engraved a sweet smile on her lips.

Seeing Erica's sweet smile made Rehan's heart warm. Valeo, Revina, Cakra and Rendy.

"Ready, Papa!"

"Smart girl. This is Papa Rehan's daughter." Rehan said as he ruffled his daughter's hair.

"Still remember Uncle's message, hum?" ask Cakra to Erica.

"Still."

"What?"

"Erica should not be afraid of anything in this world. As long as Erica was not wrong, Erica had to be a brave human being. If anyone disturbs or hurts Erica, then Erica has the right to defend herself even if later the person is hurt."

Cakra immediately smiled widely when he heard the loud speech of his nephew. Valeo, Revina and Rendy.

"good. That's what Uncle wants from you" Cakra said.

"Hm." Erica nodded her head as she cleared her throat.

"Yes, already. Now Erica spends her breakfast so she won't be late for school."

"Okay, Oma!" answer Erica.

Erica looked at Rendy. "Uncle Rendy."

"Yes, honey!"

"Don't you take Uncle Erica to school?"

"Okay, with pleasure." Rendy immediately agreed to Erica's request.

"Yeeeyy! Uncle Rendy's going to take Erica to school!" exclaim Erica spirit.

Everyone smiled when they saw the happy look on Erica's face.

After that, they all continued their breakfast with happiness.

[Smith's House]

Darren along with all his family members is currently in the living room. They are now discussing the problem of Erica who has not been to school for five days after the incident was insulted, scolded and yelled at by the parents of her school friends.

"What's your decision now, Ren?" ask Andra.

"Erica has to stay in school. If Erica doesn't want to go to school in old school, we just move Erica to a new school" said Dzaky.

"That's the problem, brother! I've discussed this with Erica before. But still, Erica still doesn't want to go to school." Darren answered the words of Dzaky.

"It's all their fault. Those who had made Erica afraid to go to school again. If Erica doesn't want to go to school anymore out of fear. As punishment, children who have bullied Erica are also not allowed to go to school anymore" Darka said.

"Sister agrees with Darka, Ren! The children also have to feel what Erica feels" Gilang said, staring at Darren's face.

As Darren was about to answer the words of Darka and Gilang, he was suddenly startled by the ringing sound of his cell phone.

Darren picks up his phone which happens to be on the table.

When his phone was in his grasp, his eyes looked at the name 'Rehan' on his phone screen.

Without waiting for long, Darren answered Rehan's call.

"Hallo, Han!"

"Where's lo?"

"Gue's still home. I'll be on campus soon. Why?"

"Gue wants to tell you about Erica."

Hearing Erica's name mentioned by Rehan makes Darren curious. He wanted to know soon what news his best friend would tell him.

"Why Erica, Rehan! Erica's okay, isn't she, Han?"

Hearing Darren's questions and fearful voice made Rehan unbearable.

"Hey, relax. Erica is fine. I want to tell you that Erica will be going to school again today. He'll be ushered in with Rendy because Erica asked."

Hearing Rehan's words made Darren instantly smile. She was really happy when her best friend told her that her adopted daughter was going to school again.

"Han, you're not kidding anymore, are you? Erica really went to school again today?"

"It's Erica's problem, our adopted daughter, Ren. So I'm not gonna joke about this. Erica went to school today. Yes, even though there was a little fear at first. But I managed to persuade him."

Darren smiled again. This time his smile grew wider. She was happy her adopted daughter wanted to go to school again.

"Thank you, Han!"

"Lo needs to say that to me, Ren! Erica is not only your adopted daughter, but Erica my adopted daughter and the adopted daughter of your other friends. What I did to Erica was my duty as a father."

"Yes, I understand."

"Erica's problem let me and the others handle it. Your job is to teach the people Erica's been terrified of and traumatized, but not severely."

"Gue thought about it. The second revenge will await them."

"All decisions are in your hands. I and the others are coming with you."

"All right."

"Yes, already. I hung up. I'll get ready first."

"All right."

After saying that, both Rehan and Darren both turned off his calls.

"Darren, honey." Erland called her son gently.

"Yes, Pa!"

"Rehan said what are you? Then you called Erica's name. Why Erica, son?" said and asked Erland with a worried look.

"Rehan told me Erica went to school today. And Rendy's sister is gonna take Erica to school."

Hearing Darren's words and answers made Erland, Agneta and the rest of the family smile happily.

"Is that true, Ren?" ask Evan.

"Yes, Uncle. That is what Rehan told me."

"Ach, thank goodness. Uncle was happy to hear it," said Evan with a happy face.

"At first Erica was scared and a little traumatized. It didn't take long, Rehan managed to persuade and give confidence to Erica" said Darren.

"Papa's happy to hear that Papa's grandson wants to go back to school."

"Mama too, honey! It's sad to see Erica who's always sad and moody every time we discuss school matters."

"And now our worry is gone because Erica wants to go to school again" Carissa said.

"Now it's just a second revenge for the people who scared and traumatized Erica!" exclamation Adnan.

"Hm!" Davin, Andra, Dzaky, Gilang, Darka, Daffa, Tristan and Davian together.
