Alfa does not believe that his name is called as the first champion. He believes the jury misnamed him so he did not want to come forward for fear of embarrassment.
The jury again called Alfa's name to come forward and receive the award as champion one. And his teacher eagerly picked up Alfa and forced her forward to the podium.
Alfa knows that something needs to be done. He wondered why his strange image became a champion. He then decided to go ahead and examine for himself the reason.
The painting of each champion is already on display behind the painter. And how shocked Alfa saw that her painting had already turned into another very beautiful painting.
Alpha's choked. He doesn't know what to do. He felt he had to confess that the painting in front of everyone was not his.
But then her mother came and took her up the podium with a smile full of happiness and pride.
Alfa had no other choice but to accept the gifts and awards given to her because her mother was ready to photograph her in front of the podium. He could not imagine what would happen to his mother if he suddenly made a mess.
All winners shook hands and congratulated each other. But Alfa did not dare to look at Kinara at all. He was sure the girl knew that the painting was not his. She was afraid that Kinara would open her voice and humiliate her and her mother on the show.
But really unexpected, the girl actually approached Alfa and gave him congratulations like nothing happened. The girl then went home while holding the hand of the Mayor.
“Honey, so you already know his son Mr Mayor?” erlita Goda to Alfa.
“Padahan, my mom wanted to introduce you both. Uh, no year already know each other.”
“Ma, Alfa want to talk to Mama.”
“Already, we chat in the car? All home.”
“So can mama explain why Alfa painting can change? It's definitely not an Alpha painting, Ma!”
“Honey, it's quiet. Mama said, You just need to learn and participate in the race. Other questions, let Mama take care of.”
“So, you mean Mama, Mama who deliberately nukar painting the same Alpha painting belongs to someone else?”
Erlita just smiled.
“Ma, that's a scam, Ma. Evils. Did Mama always tell Alfa not to cheat? But why is Mama cheating now?”
“This is not cheating, dear. But strategy. Are you calm, huh?”
It was the first time Alfa had been disappointed by her mother's actions and felt the worst by being champion one.

Since the painting race, Alfa turned into a quiet and closed child. He no longer talks and jokes with his parents. Every time he finished dinner together, he always kept quiet more and then locked himself in the room with the reason to study.
Erlita realized that her son was trying to avoid her. But he still believed that his actions were right and Alfa was angry just because he did not understand his good intentions. He was sure that one day Alfa would understand and instead thank him.
“Ma, what's the matter exactly? Why is Alfa so quiet?”
“Ngga there's nothing, Pa. Just a trivial matter. Later he will also understand.”
“Trivial problems?”
Erlita then told Nafan everything.
“Ma, why would you admit to such a thing? you're outrageous,Ma!”
Nafan hurried to leave Erlita at the dining table and approached Alfa in her room.
“Al, what else?”
“Against learning, Pa.” Alfa answered without looking.
“Alfa still angry with Mama?”
The boy shook his head.
“If same Papa, angry too?”
Alfa nodded again.
“Papa know you are angry and upset with Mama. Papa is also upset with Mama and Papa has taken Papa's carelessness with Mama.”
“Terus?” the boy seemed to be interested in talking to his father.
“Mama admitted that this time Mama was wrong and overdue. And Mama apologized to Papa. If Mama apologizes to Alfa, does Alfa want to apologize Mama?”
Alfa nodded, “Alfa is sorry Mama, Pa.”
“Keep why are you still mama?”
“Because Mama has not been responsible and corrected her mistake.”
“Abservable?”
“Pa, if only Mama had not nuker my painting, Kinara would have been champion one. Kinara's paintings are great, Pa. And he deserves to be champion. But Mama ruined everything.”
“Kinara?”
“Annya Mayor.”
“What?”

That afternoon, Nafan deliberately took the time to drive Alfa to SD Ciputra. Alfa wants to see Kinara to admit her mistake and apologize.
Nafan was glad that his son dared to act such a knight.so there was no reason for him not to support even though his wife was in complete opposition to the goodwill of the two of them.
Alfa entered the gate and asked the security guard for permission to meet Kinara. Security officers then showed Kinara the class.
Alfa confidently and boldly entered the school area and headed to Kinara's classroom. It was a coincidence that they met in front of the library.
“Yeah there's a handsome boy Nara!” said one of Kinara's friends when they met and confronted.
“Udah cuekin. He's a fraud, liar.” Whisper Kinara to her friend.
The two left Alpha without hearing a word from Alpha. Although Kinara was seen whispering, but Alfa could hear clearly that Kinara called him a fraud and a liar.
And somehow the words left a grievous safe wound in Alfa's heart. The accusation of what we didn't do was a stifling thing, at least that's the lesson Alfa learned that day.

Time passed, Alfa again made up with Erlita. And since that incident, Erlita began to act rather saggy to Alfa. He no longer likes to force his will. Instead of listening more to the opinions and thoughts of his son.
Still the same as usual, every at least two months, Erlita will invite Alfa to visit Jihan's house. When meeting and playing with Electa is the most pleasant healing for Alfa.
He considered Electa to be his own sister. And as an older brother, the spirit of leadership and protecting the Alpha is immense.
Every time he plays, he will always keep Electa well so as not to get hurt in the slightest. Because everyone always warned that Electa was sick and if she had bleeding it would be difficult to stop.
That afternoon, after school, when approaching Electa's house turned out to be empty. Electa is not home.
“Sleeping, Bik? Where's Jihan's sister Electa?”
“Mrs are taking Non Electa to Bu.” hospital
“Hospital?”
“Tadi Non Electa fell in school, her legs were injured.”
Erlita covered her gaping mouth with both palms.
“Dean already know Bik?”
“Already, Mom. Said the Master directly following to the hospital.”
“Ya already so I go directly to the hospital aja.”
