Arkana had just entered her mother's room, she saw that Widya's mother was standing in front of the window while staring out the window. Previously he had prepared himself for what he was going to face at this time, and when mama Widya turned to him the time felt stopped around him.
“ Who's the girl.?”
“ She's friend Arka ma, her name is Qania.”
“ Friend? Why do you bring a girl home if her status is only a friend, you are not lying to mama.”
“ No ma, I'm the same Nia is really just a friend. I invited him to the house because I wanted to introduce him to mama.”
“ Mama don't need your friend's acquaintance.”
“ Qania a good person ma, she has helped Arka a lot since SMA.”
“ Mama doesn't care, mama just wants you to focus on learning so you can be a doctor. It's not time you get to know a girl, and there are no word friends among men and women.”
“ Good ma.” Arkana can only resign, at least this time he did not get a blow from his mother.
Arkana was eager to ask about what she heard below, about the relationship between mom Widya and dad Hendra. But he knew that getting it to Widya's mom was a big mistake, so he would go ask her stepfather directly.

That night Arkana met Hendra's father and asked him to speak together, he made sure his mother did not hear their conversation so as not to offend and anger him.
“ I accidentally heard you guys fighting, mama asked for divorce papa right? I wonder why mommy can say that.?” Ask Arkana with a straight look at her stepfather.
“ Your mom never loved papa, she married just to live with sufficiency. Your mama wants you to go to high school and make the lives of the two of you better, she's been through a lot to date and her last choice back then was to marry papa.”
“ What does it mean? Then why did papa marry mama if it turns out all just for treasure.?”
“ Papa loves your mama.”
“ Love alone is not enough, free if only papa who loves mama. So please don't get divorced, I don't know what will happen later if you get divorced.”
“ Arch.” Papa Hendra looked at Arkana with a teary look, he could feel Arkana's sadness just from looking at her eyes.
“ Papa won't divorce from your mama, anything papa will give to keep him together with papa.” Papa Hendra then.

Things got worse after that, Widya's mother rebelled against everyone in the house. He hurt Arkana with his words even to the point of hurting Papa Hendra, I don't know what made mama Widya lose control and turn out to be so scary as now.
Until she injures herself and gets herself into the hospital, Arkana is devastated to see her mother in the hospital for the first time.
The doctor said that Widya's mother will be treated for a few days, and Arkana will have to refocus on her studies as Widya's mother said.
As long as Widya's mom was in the hospital, the semester-hike exam was passed that day. Arkana is not focused on studying because she is worried, she even goes to nosebleeds because she feels overwhelmed with everything that has happened lately.
Arkana went home and immediately handed her test results to Widya's mother, when Widya's mother accepted and looked at her carefully. But then Widya's mother looked at Arkana with a difficult gaze to understand.
“ Give the results of previous tests.”
“ Is in room ma.”
“ Download.”
Arkana immediately went to the room, she did not understand why her mother had asked for the results of the previous exam which was the result of last month's exam.
“ It ma.” Arkana handed over the exam sheet beforehand and was received by Widya's mother.
“ You have dared to lie to mom yes.” Arkana started to get scared when her mother said that.
“ What mama means.?”
“ Today's test results don't have a campus stamp, you made a fake result right? Where the actual results are, mama want to see.”
Arkana until she was unaware of the stamp, she only found out after mom Widya realized it. Test sheets will always be stamped by the campus to avoid manipulation of grades, and now Arkana is really in trouble for lying.
Arkana was forced to issue the original test result to Widya's mother, and by the time she handed it over she was already convinced of her tremendous anger.
“ B. What the fuck, why is the descent so far away?”
“ I've tried ma, at that time I thought of mama in the hospital so I can not focus on learning.”
“ Reason does not make sense, even without you worrying even mama will be able to be healthy quickly. Then why are you lying by manipulating your grades.?”
“ I had to do it ma, I want mama proud of me.”
“ You really are a stupid kid. How can you say something like this? how can parents be happy if their child lies to them?” Throat mama Widya with a very loud tone.
“ That's because mama will never be satisfied with the results I get, mama think I want to lie like this? your expression will always change when you see my value is ugly, this makes me forced to manipulate the value so that you are proud of me. “ Reply Arkana who can no longer bear the tears she holds.
“ Here you.” Mama Widya pulls Arkana's arm towards her room, and this once again upsets Arkana until she finally rebels for the first time.
“ I'm not a child anymore ma, I won't go into the bathroom again and in brackets all night.” Speak Arkana with a loud tone.
One extremely violent slap successfully landed on Arkana's face, she felt an incredible pain from the slap just now. He was silent in place and his mother again scolded him with various swearing that hurt his feelings.
“ Login to your room now.” Said Widya while pointing at the door of Arkana's room.
Arkana went straight in right then and there, and a little while later the father of Hendra who had just returned from the hospital saw his wife standing at the door, bowing her face.
“ You scolded her again.?” Ask papa Hendra.
“ It's none of your business, it's my business and my son's.” Widya's mama's reply passed leaving Hendra's papa.
