A week later.
Rania and Rangga had already started to carry out their routine as usual. They have officially lived in the magnificent house of Rangga. Alisa has also moved to an elite school near their home. However, Alisa's simple nature never changes. Although his father had bought him all the new school supplies, he had not yet worn them. He reasoned to wear it during class only.
"Hey look, the new kid was a village once huh. Surely the children of people can not afford, can skolah here maybe because of scholarship only," ledek a schoolgirl.
"Yes, of course, she is different from us - we are the children of the rich" said another student.
"Have not been bullied again pity, later he peed in his skirt," said another.
"Hahaha.." Everyone laughed at Alisa.
The three girls are Vina, Carlota and Denise. All three are indeed students who are famous for insulting others because their parents have considerable power in the area. They named the group the Trio Star. Vina and Carlota's parents worked in politics while Denise's parents were successful entrepreneurs.
"Patience.." alisa's mum.
These few days, precisely since he started school at the Elementary School Taruna Negara himself often mengundung by the three of them. But Alisa never told this to her parents. Every time Rangga and Rania ask about her school, she will definitely answer if the school is fun because it does not want to make them worry.
"Honey, today papa who delivered to school huh. All papa there is business near there," said Rangga.
"Yes Pa, I'll get the bag first,"
Alisa immediately picked up her bag, then caught up with Rangga who had been waiting in the car. After bidding farewell to Rania, they immediately left.
"Pa, I'll drop it off not in front of the school. Go down at the store near the school, there's something I want to buy" said Alisa.
"Okay, I'll wait. Papa has to make sure you get to school safely,"
Alisa can no longer reason now, her father is not a driver that she can easily persuade. Actually he just did not want to be scorned again by the trio of stars, because they would not believe if his parents were also from the upper class. He is lazy to argue and prefers silence.
"I didn't buy Pa, I went straight to school" Alisa said.
"All right, honey,"
Not long after, they arrived in front of the school. Alisa looked around before finally coming down.
"Student learning, baby, it's for you,"
Rangga gently rubbed the head of his daughter and gave her money.
"So it's been given to me kok Pa," Alisa refused subtly.
"It's okay, honey, it's from papa. Yeah, it's in there,"
Rangga put the money in his daughter's pocket, he just left after making sure Alisa entered the school.
"Well, the Deck has come yet," ledek Carlota.
"Wah Denise your new bag, yes, this is very expensive bag latest edition,"
Carlota and Vina approach her friend who comes almost simultaneously with Alisa. Alisa was surprised because it turns out the bag used by Denise is the same as the bag bought by her father, just different colors.
"Yes obviously this is expensive, my parents couldn't possibly buy me cheap stuff. Not like that, anyway,"
All turned their heads towards Alisa and laughed widely mocking her. Alisa smiled meaningfully. The behavior of Alisa who does not fight but also does not cry when they bully makes them more furious.
"Kok there is a person like Alisa, yes, he was so indifferent even though we have insulted every day" said Vina.

Elsewhere, Alif was still alive with a thousand regrets. His divorce case was a little constrained because Desi did not want him to divorce. But he did not want to deal with the woman anymore. Poor Wanto wanted to introduce his friend to his cousin who was a widow with one child.
"I'm not forcing you to marry Laila, I just want you to get acquainted. She had been a widow for 2 years, her husband died while on duty outside the city. His son is just one. She's a good woman like your ex-wife Rania. There's no harm in us trying, who knows the soul mate,"
Wanto explained at length about his cousin. He hoped that the two would be able to live happily.
"Well, I want to meet him. But please don't expect much, because my heart still hurts" Alif replied.
"Well, yes let's go to his house. This afternoon he must have gone home to work,"
Alif obeyed the words of his friend, he put his motorcycle behind Wanto. After Desy and Rania get remarried, she begins to lose her spirit again. Every day he just worked and locked himself in his room.
About 30 minutes from where they worked the time it took to get to Laila's house. It turned out that there were guests at his house, but it seemed like he was going home.
"Assynolt,"
Wanto gave his regards.
"Waalaikum salam. Eh Mas Wanto, let's go Mas,"
They came in and sat in the living room. Laila is a sweet girl, her simple appearance in hijab makes Alif remember Rania when she was with him first.
"Who was this guest, brother?" ask Wanto.
Laila's once cheerful face turned moody.
"That's the one who meant to marry me Mas. I have refused many times but he continues to force me to accept" replied Laila.
"Which one? Who wears a lot of rings on his fingers or which one?" ask Wanto.
"Yes Mas, that's Mas Jatmiko's name. The three men were his men. He already has two wives, whichever I want to be the third. Being a widow is not easy, but it's still better than being honey,"
Laila explained sadly. Pity began to envelop Alif's feelings.
"Well, don't want it like that, brother. There are still many singles for what a playboy wife like that" said Wanto.
"Yes that's why I always refuse Mas, I don't want to be told the actor later,"
Laila glanced at Alif who from just now just silently listened. He only realized that if there were strangers among them, he was so downcast that he was embarrassed to tell his life.
"But your husband's long gone, pity your son still needs a father's affection. Do you really have no desire to get married again?" ask Wanto.
Laila sighed violently, her smile turning sour.
"Where is a single man willing to be with the widow of one child, Mas. The ones who often propose to me are just idle men, I don't want our lives to be more miserable if I choose wrongly,"
Wanto and Alif could understand the woman's feelings.
"Don't be discouraged. I've failed twice in marriages that traumatized me too. But it's true said Wanto, we can't give up. If you don't mind, may I get to know you more closely?"
Alif said bluntly, he stared fixedly at the two beautiful Laila beads.
