"Papa.."call Ara.
"What's up Ara?"

"Why is your favorite child so sad?"Sisca came from the kitchen looking at her daughter whose eyes Ara started to glaze over.
"Mama, the principal asked Ara to immediately pay off the tuition that had been in arrears 4 months" complained Ara.Sisca and Anton, just silently listening to the complaint of the child. They are also confused about what to do, because they now have no money.
"Yes, later mama try to find a loan to the next door neighbor"
"Thank you, I love mama"Ara kissed Sisca's cheek and immediately went inside her room.
"Mama, where do you want to spend your money?you know our neighbor, it's a stingy guy"Anton looked at his wife.
"Mama will be minjam to the loan sharks of the village next door"Anton was surprised to hear the words Sisca.
"Don't mama, papa disagrees. You know that the minjam to the loan shark has flowers" said Anton.
"Yes papa, but mama doesn't want our daughter to quit school"
"Let's find a way out"
"Papa, you only have this ring, we'd better sell it to pay for Ara's tuition and the rest for everyday use"
"Don't mama, it's our wedding ring"
"Papa, this is the only way" Sisca insisted.
"Just as for mom"

"Did grandma recognize that mother?"ask Amora.
"Honey, she is a friend and mother to the Nurul Iman school"
"Fatimah, is Amora your biological child?"tanya ummi while glancing at Amora.

"Thank you, I'll be there right now" said Ara who turned off her phone.
"Father, mom is in the hospital" she screamed Ara and ran over to her papa.
"Really, let's go to the hospital now"
"Yes papa, I locked the door first"
After arriving at the hospital, Ara immediately asked the nurse who was guarding the administration room.
"Excuse me, where's Sisca's mom's upstairs?"
"Sisca's mother's nursery room in rose room no 12. Brother can pass over there"
"Thank you"Anton and Ara immediately looked for room number 12.

"What happened to you?"ask Anton.
"Mas, I'm sorry. When I got home from the jewelry store, the money from the sale of the ring was stolen. I was chasing but I was hit by a car" Sisca cried while holding Ara's hand.
"I'm sorry, because of my negligence, my mother got hurt. But I have paid the administration money" said a 35-year-old mother.
"I'm also sorry, because when crossing do not look around"
"Thank you for taking my wife to the hospital"

"Ara, I'm sorry. Mama can't pay your tuition" cried Sisca as she kissed her daughter's hand.
"Yes mama is important mama is not hurt just mama's forehead is scratched"
"Papa's gonna try to find extra work to pay for your tuition" they hugged while kissing her daughter.
"Yes already, you rest first.Let papa who nemenin mama"
"Yes papa, Ara get out first"
Ara sat on the chair that had been provided by the hospital, she stared at the ceiling of the hospital. Suddenly she remembered Jessica's offer of her classmate.
(Flashback on)
When Ara came out of the headmaster's room, Jessica suddenly pulled Ara's hand towards the bathroom.
"What's Jessica?"
"Sorry, I accidentally heard what you said to the principal. You need money now, right".
"Yes"Ara just nodded.
"I have a job for you. The job is easy and the result is 2 million overnight even more than that"
"Really, what's his job?"
"So the butterflies of the night and serve the striped noses"
"What's?you think I'm going to sell myself" I'm surprised Ara heard Jessica say.
"Listen to me first. If you work as a night butterfly, you not only earn money but also get satisfaction that will make you addicted"
"I'm not interested" replied Ara.
"As far as you are concerned, I'm just suggesting. Yes, if you don't want to"Jessica left Ara alone in the bathroom.
(Flashback off)
"Do I accept Jessica's offer? now I need a lot of money" asked Ara's heart.
"Ara.."Call Anton who sees Ara sitting.
"Ara, you eat first, later you can get sick" Anton gave Ara a plastic bag containing fried rice and a bottle of drink.
