JUDITH

PENALIZED

Yudith walked home while rethinking Andrew's suggestion. Andreas says the best way to approach Irene is to instill trust.

"Like I used to be, want to deket the same you ya have to slowly make you believe that I can also be a good friend. A trustworthy and reliable friend." That's what Andreas said.

After that, Sister Vero chimed in, "Slow down. Do not make him feel disturbed and depressed. It will be even harder to get close to him."

Yudith felt, discussing with his friends was much more effective, compared to the guidance teacher who seemed to dictate.

The air under the juar trees planted along this road is very cold. He intended to keep walking leisurely to enjoy the cool breeze, but suddenly there was a sound of screaming in pain accompanied by cries roaring from the direction of the Cloud Guest House. His heart was immediately uneasy as the sound of screams and cries was heartbreaking. The girl hastened her path with wide steps.

"aaa! It hurts!"

"Who told you to hit a friend, huh? No one taught you to hit! It's not good, you know?!"

"sick! It hurts!"

Yudith could guess what happened. The girl no longer walked fast, but ran hard. Without greeting directly stormed into the guesthouse and continued running into the back room.

He appeared just as Bu Laili was about to hit Irene's hand using a wooden ruler. Yudith jumped up and immediately covered Irene's hand that was up on the table.

No doubt, the ruler also hit the back of Yudith's hand.  It hurts, of course it hurts a lot, it's hot too. Yudith closed his eyes tightly and tightened his teeth to endure the pain and heat. However, he quickly opened his eyes and pulled Irene to hide behind his back.

He stared at the nilar Bu Laili whose face was shocked from not expecting Yudith to suddenly appear and protect Irene's hand.

To cover up awkwardly, the tyrannical-faced employee also revealed the reason for punishing Irene, "He's already hit his friend to the point of bruising! I was called to school!"

"The teacher didn't tell me why Irene hit her friend?" Yudith's voice was hoarse and trembling because he was actually very angry, but he held it with all his might.

"Just because of the dolls."

"just? Just because of the dolls ...." Yudith repeated Bu Yuliana's words with a sarcastic tone.

"You don't have to buy him. The child cannot be hallucinated. Asked when the foaming mouth was also not answered. Make emotions!"

Yudith took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. Afterwards speaking in a much calmer voice, "He's my responsibility. There's nothing for me to talk to her, ma'am."

"okay! Whatever!" After that, Ms. Laili left just like that while grumbling.

After his death, Yudith only realized that in the room there were several other children who were watching with scared faces. Yudith did not bother them and immediately checked Irene's hand. Yudith's heart ached as she saw the red wounds on Irene's back and palms.

Yeah, God. Yudith stroked Irene's hand. The little girl was crying sobbing while looking down, her thin body was shaking.

"Come, treat his hands first."

Irene shook her head, but when Yudith took her to walk into the room, she complied. Once in the room, Yudith washed Irene's hands using a wet towel, then applied the ointment.

After that, she also cleaned Irene's dirty wet face, as well as changed her clothes that were still in school uniform. The teenage girl just kept quiet and complied.

Yudith sat down beside Irene, then asked, "Have you eaten?"

Not answering, Irene climbed onto the bed, then sat in the corner hugging both legs while looking out at the glass.

Irene remained unmoved and Yudith could only stare in concern. A moment later he remembered the teddy bear that was the source of the problem. Soon Yudith picked it up from the school bag, and then sat back on the edge of Irene's bed.

"This, but it's broken." Yudith held out the thin teddy bear.

Upon seeing the beloved object, Irene immediately grabbed it and held it in the chest. Then look back outside.

Yudith wanted to take this opportunity to instill trust in Irene's heart. Gently attentive he said, "Hand and feet are almost gone, Miss Yudith help sewing can?"

Instead of being happy, Irene hid the doll under a pillow, and she lay her back to Yudith.

Yudith's heart felt like it was being slashed when she recalled how Ms. Yuliana had the heart to beat Irene's hand. It didn't even seem to give the boy a chance to have lunch first.

Everyone's temperament is not the same and many Yudith also find caregivers who are bad tempered. However, so far it is still safe because it seems they are able to control emotions quite well. Yudith had never found a caregiver to have been verbally abused like that.

"Mrs Yudith."

Yudith turned to the door and found a girl of Irene's age standing there.

"Yes, Va."

"Can Eva come in?"

"just enter. Here."

The small, short-haired girl smiled broadly as she stepped in, then sat down beside Yudith.

"Irene hasn't eaten, Mom. Not the same as Miss Laili. He said he couldn't eat lunch."

Again Yudith felt her chest swell and overcrowded. "You're Irene's friend first, huh? Miss Yudith wants to eat for Irene."

Eva nodded, then said, "Mom Yudith be careful with Ms. Laili. You see, Bu Laili likes to complain and talk carelessly. Fear later even Bu Yudith blamed for already defending Irene."

Yudith smiled gently. "Maybe that's not what Ms. Laili meant. Eva just misunderstood maybe. Yes, Irene please wait a minute."

Not much to say and like living in his own world, it does not mean that Yudith does not know anything or cannot judge a person by his gestures. Ever since he first saw Bu Laili, Yudith had been able to feel insincerity. However, it was not his capacity to judge a person's bad good. After all, he is also not a man who never does anything wrong.

Yudith arrived at the dining room, and the nurses and nuns were gathering for lunch.

"Here, Dith, sit."

Ms. Yuliana shifted to give Yudith space. Yudith approached, but did not sit down. He politely spoke to Ms. Yuliana, "Sorry, Ms. Yuli. Can I bring food for Irene?"

Ms. Yuliana who was in the warehouse at the time of the incident, certainly did not know what happened and no one seemed to tell.

"Irene why? Sick? The feeling I just saw was rest is fine." Ms. Yuliana spoke in a very natural tone. The nuns and the others looked ordinary because they were still in school. So also don't know what's going on. Only Ms. Laili who is always in the dorm as a housewife every day and is currently criticizing Yudith.

Of course, Yudith was not afraid, but because he did not want to make things worse, he said, "Yes, Mom. Now rest."

"Yes, just take it. Later in the afternoon take it to the hospital huh, Dith"

"Good, Mom. Thank you." Thank you."

While Yudith was relieved, Bu Laili had her face instantly turned pale.
