Two months have passed..

The day after Bagas and Ayu's attitude began to change, that day Vanya began to pass through his days very heavily. It was no longer because of Bagas who often snapped at him, but also because Ayu who started to show his original attitude.

Starting from Ayu who often yells at Vanya for a small mistake, telling Vanya to do this and that, as well as slandering Vanya in any case, to make Bagas often punish Vanya by not giving pocket money.

Even a few days ago, Ayu deliberately fired Bi Asih and told Vanya to do all the work of Bi Asih. Worse, when Bagas asked about it, Ayu reasoned that Bi Asih himself was the one who resigned. Also when Bagas sought a replacement for Bi Asih, Ayu often rejected him on the grounds of being unsuitable.

Though.. In reality, Ayu deliberately fired Bi Asih in order to freely torture Vanya. Not only that, Vanya often get punished by not being given a dinner ration. Until making Vanya can not concentrate in learning because of fatigue and hunger.

Such was Vanya's life after the incident, The time when at home was only Vanya spent doing household chores, then locked himself in the room. Not infrequently Vanya ignore his hunger, to make his body become a little thin.

Once Vanya asked why Ayu suddenly hated him, the reason was simple.. It was all because Vanya had captured all the attention of Bagas from Ayu, making Ayu gradually start to hate Vanya.

However, as long as Vanya does not get physical violence, Vanya can only resign and try to accept everything with a roomy heart. Since Vanya was aware, she would not be able to fight back, all she could do was try to be patient and continue to pray.

For example, like today, right on Vanya's 11th birthday. The day that Vanya should feel happy, the day that Vanya should get congratulations. Vanya actually started the day lethargic too with a bruised eye.

Because last night, when Vanya asked for a new drawing tool as a birthday present. Instead of getting what Vanya wants, the little girl actually returned to get the curse. The reason is, rather than buying a new drawing tool, the money should be saved for Vanya to enter junior high school.

And yes, again and again Vanya can only resign..

Vanya sighed as she glanced at the clock stuck on the wall, then looked back at her increasingly thin reflection in front of the mirror.. After sighing again, Vanya grabbed her bag then immediately went downstairs and left just like that, ignoring Bagas who just kept calling her.

Because since Bagas began to often snap at him, Vanya was reluctant to eat breakfast together, so often Vanya ignored Bagas. In fact, Vanya prefers to walk rather than having to be delivered by Bagas. Vanya also prefers to break his piggy bank than having to ask Bagas for pocket money.

But, fortunately Vanya has Nisa and Rima who are always ready to help her in any case. As now, because Vanya had too often arrived late at school because of walking, making Nisa ask Rima so that every morning would wait for Vanya at a crossroads near Vanya's house.

And lucky again, Rima agreed to that. Because Rima also really felt sorry for the bad luck received by the girl of her child's age. Rima just can not imagine how the fate of his son if he is in the position of Vanya, therefore Rima wants to help Vanya in any case. Because after all, Rima had already considered Vanya like her own daughter.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" Rima asked Vanya who had just entered her car.

"Goddess.. Nisa is sure that Vanya has not eaten from Semalem" said Nisa.

"Totally Va?" tanya Rima made sure as she started driving her car.

Vanya could only rub his nape awkwardly because he did not know what to answer.

Rima who got such a response could only sigh, she really wanted to pull Vanya out of the shackles of Bagas and Ayu. But what power, he had absolutely no right to do that.

"Yaudah, if that's what you'll have breakfast with Nisa at school. Aunty has brought food for you" said Rima.

"Thank you auntie, sorry to take"

"Ga ngerepotin kok darling, aunt seneng can help you.." said Rima while smiling and then again said "Oh yes, it's in the back seat there is a gift for you"

"The gift?? Make Vanya tan??" Vanya asked with slightly nosediving brows.

Rima glanced at Vanya at a glance then smiled "Yes, a gift for you.. Nisa said it's your birthday today.."

Nisa turned to Vanya who was sitting in the back seat and said "it's been a quick grab, it's a special gift from me.. But mama's the buyin, hehe.."

Vanya immediately grabbed the gift and opened it, so that she did not feel her eyes began to glaze over when she saw the contents of the gift.

Vanya nodded her head.

"Like.. Very fond.. Thanks a lot aunt.. Thanks a lot Nis.." Vanya said as she wiped away her tears that started to flow.

Rima smiled and said "you love.. Learning to learn.."

"He em's.. Again thanks aunt.."

"Udah, don't cry.. Later your eyes get swollen, there you go to class, it's been until" said Rima.

The two girls got out of the car and went to their class.

*****

After school, Vanya was about to go home on foot, because by chance Nisa had already gone home due to her sick stomach. However, when Vanya reached the gate, she was shocked by Bagas who had come to pick her up.

Inevitably, Vanya finally returns home with Bagas. Along the way, not a single word came out from the mouth of the father and son. They prefer to focus on seeing the streets are quite full of vehicles.

Until Bagas let out his voice

"Va.."

Not getting a response from his daughter, Bagas pulled over his car and looked at Vanya who was staring at the street through the car window.

"Va." said Bagas once again.

"Va.. Papah apologise yes.. Lately papah has been rough with you, papah really apologizes to you, whatever the reason, papah has been wrong with you" said Bagas with a little stammering.

However, Vanya still refused to give a response. Honestly, not an apology from Bagas that Vanya actually expected.

"Why don't you want to apologize papah? Though papah wants to say goodbye to Vanya, papah runs out nganterin you go home want to go straight out of town for 4 days" Bagas said in a slightly shaking voice.

Vanya sighed and then turned to Bagas.

"Let's go home, I'm tired. If you want to get out of the city, be careful on the road" said Vanya then turned his face back.

Bagas looked at Vanya fixedly, he was a little surprised because Vanya started calling herself (me). Just like that Bagas lately to make Vanya start to change the way he talks?

"Male, papah.."

Bagas had not yet finished his words, Vanya had already said

"I'm sorry papah, so now mending us go home.. I'm so tired of pah"

Bagas could only sigh, perhaps this time was not the right time to talk to Vanya. Finally, after sighing again, Bagas immediately put his car back on.
