The next day, Shinta woke up. Looking at Alana who was still sleeping very soundly. Shinta saw the clock on the wall pointing at twelve in the afternoon. Sontak Shinta was shocked, getting out of bed. Tied her long hair high with origin.

"Jeez, why am I waking up this afternoon? Oh my God, how's Syifa? Today he's taking the test."

Shinta ran outside, got down and saw the situation below. Revan, Syifa is gone. Revan went to the office, and Syifa went to school.

"Ma, I'm sorry Shinta is misfortune, Shinta is also unconscious. One night Shinta didn't sleep because Alana kept crying."

"There's no need to defend yourself, after all who will scold you. You're the queen of this house, aren't you?" ketus Tommy, Shinta approaches his father-in-law. He regretted, because yesterday had said something very bad.

"Pa, I'm sorry about you? Tata didn't mean to make papa's heart hurt. Yesterday Shinta was so worried about Alana." Shinta apologized to her father-in-law with all her heart. Mama Lily calms her daughter-in-law.

"Son, it's been. Don't feel guilty if your mom or dad were in your position last night. Mom and Dad would do the same. You're her mother, there's nothing more painful than losing a child. Yes, it is, son. Don't hurt yourself like that." Mama Lily held Shinta's shoulder gently. Shinta turned her head towards her father-in-law who was looking away at her.

"Pa, the law is the order as you will. But, please don't stay put." Instead of answering his son-in-law's words, Tommy left his wife and daughter-in-law. Shinta is sad, mama Lily tries to convince Shinta that everything will be okay.

"You're as good as going to the room and you're clean as you were? Mama's gonna catch up with your papa. And one more thing, don't worry or feel guilty. Your papa is angry right now, but you know for yourself. Your father-in-law and husband are the same. They are grumpy and a little stubborn, but they are also kind and affectionate towards their families. Their anger was only momentary, mama was sure. Once you've calmed down, you'll forget everything and forgive yourself." Shinta nodded as well. Mama Lily left her own daughter-in-law.

At school, Syifa daydreams alone in class. He seemed saddened by the situation and problems that occurred at home. Syifa was also confused, how to make her younger sister, Alana understand and not make a mess anymore.

"Syifa, just daydream." Syifa felt shocked, she turned to see it was Raisa, my friend Syifa.

"Hi, Rei."

"Why? How did I see you daydream from earlier, Syif?"

"Ah, that's not how you feel. I was just thinking about how our exam will be after, it'll be hard." Syifa also mengeles, he does not want others to know the problems faced by his family.

"Aren't you a smart kid? Why should I worry? You must have learned more from all of us. What should you be worried about, right?" ask Raisa back. Syifa smiled and said that she was not as smart as her friends said.

"I also often had trouble. Don't praise me like that, my ears will go up." Syifa said jokingly. My friend laughed out loud because of the joke by Syifa.

"Good dong, it turns out I'm useful to my friends. It can make you smile like this." Syifa said back.

"Syifa, I'm so impressed with you. Besides being beautiful, kind, smart, your mind is also very mature. Surely men like you a lot."

"Why talk about men? We're still in school, not yet the time to think about it."

"Yes too. You're absolutely right. Come with me to the cafeteria, we'll buy a lot of food. As long as we go to school, I've never seen you shit." asked Raisa. Syifa immediately took the provisions from her bag. Open up, show it to his friend.

"For what I'm doing, I always bring supplies from home. It's eating, Mam's cooking." Syifa's words stopped, this is the first time Syifa did not bring provisions from the mama's cooking when her mama was at home.

"Why?" asked Raisa back who was so curious. Syifa shook her head and said nothing happened.

"No, Mama and the people at home always made provisions for me. Mama and Papa said, if the snacks outside are not healthy. Wouldn't it be better to eat the food of our beloved family?" ask Syifa to my friend. Syifa also offered her food to Raisa. However, Raisa refused gently and chose the snacks in the canteen

"Well, I go to the cafeteria first. If you change your mind, you can call and come with me." once again, Raisa tried to offer Syifa a snack in the canteen. Syifa refused gently without hurting her friend.

"Thank you, but for now I don't. Supplies from home also I have not eaten, dear the food is redundant if not eaten."

"Okay, I'll go first Syifa." Raisa leaves Syifa alone in class. After Raisa's departure, Syifa prayed before eating. He enjoys being downstairs from home.

"Look at the spoiled child, he brought back the provisions. Haha basic spoiled child." said one of Syifa's classmates who was always nosy on her. Syifa paid no heed to the words of her jail friends. To him, it was just a waste of time.

"Is he not ashamed, it's big like this still carrying supplies like a Kindergarten child. Maybe, she's still sleeping under her mom's armpits."

"Hahahaha." came the sound of laughter from some of his classmates who were notoriously mischievous and making troublemakers. Syifa was still enjoying the food she brought from home. None of those words he ignored. Making his friend upset, one of the gang leaders named Amira also approached Syifa, throwing Syifa supplies.

Syifa turned towards Amira with a displeased face.

"Why are you throwing away my food?" asked Syifa who was trying to patiently endure the treatment of her friend.

"What's the problem for you? It's up to me to eat your food." said Amira who was so arrogant, not just throwing away Syifa's food supply. Amira also mocks Syifa with the name child mami
