JUDITH

Even when his heart was angry, Yudith never had the intention to complain against Bu Laili. Rather than a lot of potentially aggravating talk, he would rather emphasize the limits of his territoriality. Irene is his, his responsibility and only he has the right to act on all of Irene's behavior or attitudes.

However, little Vivi who could not keep her mouth, suddenly entered the dining room and exposed everything. At that very moment, Ms. Yuliana left the dining room and rushed to Yudith's room. Yudith followed without taking any food.

"Mr Yuli." The arrival of Bu Yuliana surprised Eva who was sitting guarding Irene. The responsible teenage girl immediately stood up and said softly, "Irene is sleeping."

Irene slept soundly on her back, her hands on her stomach clutching the thin teddy bear tightly. The rubles of the former sheathe have been thinned, which is seen now only thin red lines like scratched something.

Ms. Yuliana sat on the edge of the bed, then slowly grabbed Irene's hand to look at her more thoroughly. Not long after, Ms. Yuliana said, "Why did Laili hit Irene? Sampek kayak gini loh. Just ignore that guy."

Yudith only told the outline because he did not want to be impressed to dramatize the situation for personal gain and position Bu Laili as the most guilty. However, Eva who saw the incident directly told Ms. Yuliana that Yudith's hand had also been hit, because she wanted to protect Irene.

"Your hand is not papa?" ask Ms. Yuliana later.

"No papa, ma'am."

"Eva, call Bu Laili, tell her to come to Ms. Yuli's room. You too, Dith. You'll be with Irene again, yes, Va."

"Okay, Miss Yuli." After that, Eva immediately ran outside.

It was not until three minutes later that Yudith and Bu Laili were already in Ms. Yuliana's room, sitting on the edge of the bed. While Ms. Yuliana herself was sitting in a chair opposite to them.

"I won't say much. Since this is only the first time it happened, I can still understand. But if it happens again, I'll report it to Sister Davince. Okay, okay, Miss Laili?"

"I'm really sorry, Dek Yuli. I'm khilaf. Irene---"

"There's no reason. Violence is absolutely wrong. I understand because I still see Bu Laili as the oldest employee and employee who has been acting as a mother for all of us. After this if it happens again, there will be no more chances."

Although his eyes were staring sharply, but Bu Yuliana was able to master his voice to remain calm, not bursting out of control. He may be younger than Bu Laili, but he is much more mature and authoritative.

"And you are Yudith." Lady Yuliana turned her gaze to Yudith and her eyes became soft.

"Yes, Miss Yuli."

"Irene is your absolute responsibility. Anyone has no right to deal with that child other than you and me. And I reiterate, if anything happens and you see it, talking directly to me do not just keep it myself. Okay, Dith?"

"Good, Mom."

"OKAY. This matter is temporarily considered to be finished. There's Yudith already, so I'm asking Ms. Laili not to interfere with Irene anymore. Hold yourself back and be more patient, yes, Mom, yes."

"Well, Yuli Deck." Judging from the look on his face and his own stages, Bu Laili looked very sorry. Yudith was not.

That way the problem is considered to be solved and Irene does not need to be taken to the hospital for examination. Yudith returned to the room and found Eva asleep in a sitting position. Yudith woke up and told her to move to her bed instead of telling her to go back to Eva's own room.

After changing into his clothes, Yudith sat beside Irene and noticed her peaceful sleeping face. It turned out that the little girl had a mole in the corner of the lower right eye. Very small, just looks like a dot.

From the face, Yudith's gaze descended on the pillow, then accidentally saw the tip of the book poking out from under the pillow. Yudith took it slowly and carefully with the intention of only going to see the cover. However, once he found that the book was already open, Yudith was a little surprised when he saw the contents.

In the book are two photographs. One sheet is a close up photo of half the body of a man in the forty-five age range, while the other is a family photo. Yudith looked carefully at the family photos. The man in the close-up photo is also in the family photo hugging Irene from behind, flanked by two women who Yudith knows are Irene's mother and sister.

Yudith frowned, feeling strange because the family photos included for Irene's data were not the same as this one. More precisely, the difference is only in the man. The man in the biodata photo, who is claimed to be Irene's father is still younger than this one and his face is not similar at all.

Never mind, Irene had been studying her book not because of reading, but just to look at the two photos. While Yudith was pensive, immersed in many assumptions, Irene slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as I saw Yudith, Irene's face immediately seemed shocked and when her gaze fell on the book that Yudith was holding, she rushed up and grabbed it. After which, it inched backwards and sat in a corner while hugging the book tightly. Again his gaze was sharp full of hostility.

"Irene ...." Yudith was so shocked.

"Bu Yudith just saw, really, Ir." Eva suddenly stood beside Yudith, successfully making Yudith jump for the second time.

After Eva spoke, Irene slowly lowered her gaze and unintentionally saw a bruise on the back of Yudith's hand. His gaze stayed there long enough for Yudith to finally realize where Irene was looking.

Yudith hurriedly turned the palm up so that the rinses of the punches were not visible, then said, "Irene eat first, huh? Miss Yudith get it?"

"Yes, you have to eat. Eat in the room papa's not sick." Eva persuaded.

Of the children who live here, Eva is the most sociable and light-handed to help. And it seems that only with Eva also Irene was a little willing to open up even though she still did not want to talk.

Yudith and Eva looked at Irene who was silent with her head lowered, then Yudith said again, "Mom Yudith has not eaten either. Yuk, eat together."

Irene remained unmoved until the desolate atmosphere was broken by the sound of the principal's sister thundering like thunder. It looks like from the middle room.

"Where is Yuliana, Yudith, the same Laili! All of you here!"

"Va, please accompany Irene, yes."

After that, Yudith immediately came out of the room and appeared in the living room together with Ms. Yuliana. A few seconds later, Miss Laili arrived.

The three stood face to face with the headmaster sister whose face was already red, her gaze was sharp as if wanting to tear apart the three nurses who were in front of her.

"There's a molested child, why doesn't anyone report, huh?! Where's Irene?"

In the room, Irene could hear the screams of the headmaster sister. His face instantly pale and increasingly inched backwards into a corner as if hoping to get out of the room by breaking through the wall.

"Don't be afraid. Sister Davince's voice is loud, but the man is nice. Sister just wants to see your hand. The one who deserves to be angry is Miss Laili. I'm even sure that Ms. Yuliana and Ms. Yudith will also get angry."

For some reason Irene suddenly stared as Eva said so. Irene raised her gaze and stared at the door where the principal sisters appeared followed by Bu Yuliana, Bu Laili and Yudith.
