Passing through the aunt stall, there were many other students there. They are relaxing because the school is not learning today, there may be some classes that are given assignments.

"Yakin Ari." said Irfan who was sitting on a motorcycle while making out.

"Convincing!" he patted Irfan on the back.

"This is Ri's strong?" ask again while smiling.

"Udah!" Ira pulls Ari's hand towards the school.

"This is smoking again?" step stopped.

"I am first, right?"

"Yes, I'll be followed." gently rubbed his back.

The woman then steps away, "Ri?" said turned.

"What dear?"

"I don't feel good."

"Why?"

"It's not good, it might take a hug haha." Laugh covered his face.

"Hmmhh, will you now?"

"Basic!" go leave.

Ari smiled as she looked at Ira's missing back at the turn.

*

Schools are deserted, students are in their respective classes. From a distance came the voice of a male teacher who was explaining about the meeting.

"Why don't I feel good?" he muttered while walking up the stairs.

Anggi and Susan were sitting in front of the class playing on her phone.

"Jesus just woke up?" ask Anggi.

"Haha really don't hear anything." replied Ira while sitting in the middle of the two.

"Haaii?" greet Santi from class with Dewi.

"Well, are you home? when?" ask Ira.

"Semalem anyway, would you like to come? yuk's canteen?"

"You eat me mumpung on learning." added Dewi.

"Yes, I'm coming." Susan moved from her seat.

"You want to go with Ra?" bring Anggi.

"No, go first."

"Really? yes, it will happen later." said Susan and the four friends left.

Ira just nodded then turned her gaze, looking downstairs at Ayu who was standing in front of the Hall while calling.

Ira's phone shook, and Ayu called her.

"Yes?" answer Ira.

"Where? not been to school yet?"

"Udah, look up on the right." Ayu looked at him, Ira smiled as she waved her hand.

"Later to finish the meeting down, huh? wanna talk!"

"Yes." Yeah." Ira ended her call.

The woman thought in silence, "What's the matter? does he know about my problems with my mother? so you're gini degdegan?"

Moving on and into class, approached Iki who was lying on her stomach in the back corner while watching a movie.

"Lot in?" tanyakanya.

"Yes," kept the bag, and the stew made Iki's back a pillow.

"Ki? I'll come home."

"Will you go home?"

Ira was speechless not answering, the quiet class made the woman close her eyes again.

In his mind he was agitated, feeling very confident that there would come a problem. The woman did not come home since the fight with mother, Ayu must have found out. What kind of quarrel made his sister not come home? "Will there be another fight today?" he said in his heart.

Life will not go as expected, so far the woman has managed to hide her identity and everything she does always goes according to plan. But he himself had already realized that someday, there would definitely be a big problem coming. Stripped him to pieces without a warning, especially about his dark life.

"Are all the problems coming in from this point on?" in thought.

Without Ira noticing, Ari had already entered the classroom and saw her sleeping near Iki. He purposely let it go, if the man was not Iki maybe Ari was already angry.

*Duut duut!!* Ira's phone is shaking, she opens her eyes at the sight of Ayu.

"Yes?" pick up that call.

"Where? it's done this. Downhill!"

"Still in front of the hall, hunt!"

"It's over there!" getting up from the fall he ran a little out of class.

"Udah, wait!" end call.

It seems Ari and the others are sitting while playing guitar in a regular place (Front of the computer room).

"Where?" ask Ari.

"Start!' the answer passed them.

Down the stairs, a small run to the front of the hall.

"Have you eaten yet?" ask Ayu.

"Not yet." shook his head.

"Yuk while eating? can you come out?"

"Yes, in front of me."

They walk out of the school, while stepping Ira turned her head up to signal Ari that she left with Ayu's ka.

*

After eating, Ayu invited her to sit in the park to talk.

"What's the problem with mom? do you want to hear from Ira's side?" try to be gentle to find the answer.

"What story did mom tell you?"

"Don't ask back, just tell me!"

Instantly it was not only his heart that was racing, his body trembled feeling helplessly.

"Mom knows."

"Thou? about?,,,," Ayu fell silent, "About everything?" tanyanya already understood what Ira meant.

The woman was silent and nodded, this was only the beginning but her eyes were already glazed over. This pain is very deep if you have to remember who he is and the bad words that you say to him.

"A fight with mom? what's he saying?" ask Ayu curiously.

"Which mother would not be angry when she learned that her daughter had secretly become a prostitute*r?"

Clasping Ira's hand tightly, "This wouldn't have happened if mom and dad were together or they were fully responsible. What did you say?"

"Is he being rude?" continued.

"She turned her head, and then said rudely." Directly telling me this way made Ira unable to hold back her tears.

"What's? what's he saying?" Ayu insisted on wanting to know.

"She said she had eaten me and didn't kill me while in the womb. He wants me dead!" down, her tears fell.

Ayu was silent, actually not sick. It was very painful, but he preferred silence so as not to aggravate the situation.

"Will I talk to you?"

Ira looked at him, "Talk about what? the reason I became a prostitute*r?"

"This would never have happened, if as parents they were fully responsible. Although angry but he had no right to say such a bad thing."

"Life is like this*g!"

Ayu fell silent, rubbing her sister's back. Even so, Ira knew that Ka Ayu was holding back her anger.

"What's wrong with me? the others don't know anything?" Ira looked at her brother.

"So far I have not even been in a relationship like a teenager in general, because I always feel this self is so despicable to have by others. I always hope even if not for my partner, but at least there will be one family where I can be myself without having to wear a mask. Where I can complain, tell everything without worrying about insults and betrayal. I also do not ask to be born if life will be like this? what's my fault?" Ira cried as she pleased, and Ayu hugged her tightly.

"Udah! I'll try to talk to you later." Ayu kissed Ira's head.

"Speak what?"

"Udah!"

They fell silent, after feeling calm Ira reflected tidying up her hood.

"Wait to go home, right?" ask Ayu.

"Yes, Iki's coming home later."

"On PKL the payment has been paid half, then the rest try to ask father."

"When is it paid?"

"So direct, it's there."

"When it doesn't work, you still have your savings."

"Udah, now get in there. Teteh home huh?"

"Yes, thank you." hugged Ayu then he left on his bike and Ira went back to school.

Arriving at the gate Ira saw Anggi, Rendi and others, including Ari still sitting in front of the computer room.

Because the school break is crowded as usual. There were those who sat gathered in front of the class, in the cafeteria, out-of-school stalls and some in the classroom.

The woman walked through several classes while looking down to cover her puffy eyes in tears. After talking to Ka Ayu indeed she felt a little relieved, but now her mind was getting messed up. He still didn't know there would be any more after this.
