"Well, Syifa don't know. He can also do well at school. Syifa is a good child, so I do not want Syifa's character to be arrogant just because the school has a family" said Arvan. Shinta, Caca, and Revan agree. These two parents, discussing for the future of their children. With its compactness, they think about the growth and development of children, without distinguishing biological children or stepchildren.

In the park, Syifa looked so upset. His eyes turned red, he endured the crying and pain. Some of the students looked at her with cynical gazes but did not dare to disturb her anymore.
Syifa looked towards her friend, and shouted at her friends so upset.
"Why? Do I have the same fault with you? Why do you look at me like you see a criminal? What a mistake I made!" shouted Syifa who was already unable to hold back her anger anymore. School is like a snag for him.
Raisa comes, approaches Syifa and wins her.
"Stranquilo, Syif. Why are you screaming like that? Look, almost one school sees you that way." said Raisa who gave Syifa a drink. Syifa drank the drink Raisa gave her. Now, his heart began to calm down. He also apologized, to the friend he had just snapped.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand why I'm this sorry" Syifa said, turning to Raisa. Raisa hugged Syifa, calmed her countryman down.
"Oh, it's okay. The problem you were facing earlier, it might have made you so dizzy. I see, what you've been up against from yesterday at school is not easy. I'm the same as you, but I also have no right to be angry. I'm just an adopted child at this school, so I don't have any right to speak." said Raisa who felt sad, Syifa looked at the sad gaze of her friend. Syifa hugged Raisa. At least, her self still has a whole family that always defends her, while Raisa. Only orphans grew up in orphanages.
"You're so lucky, at least. Your family, always there for you. Unlike me, who doesn't know where my parents are" Raisa said sadly.
"Don't be sad, I'll always be there for you, Raisa. Whatever happens, I will always be there for you. From now on, we're not just my friends. We are brothers." said Syifa who smiled at Raisa. Raisa hugged Syifa tightly, she shed her tears.
"Thank you, Syif. I love you."
"I love you too, Sa. Don't be sad anymore, okay? I'm gonna take you to play in my house, and I'm gonna get to know you to my whole family. They are very good people." said Syifa, Raisa also let go of their embrace, smiling happily.
"Couldn't you?" ask Syifa with sparkling eyes.
"Right, I promise." said Syifa.
"Sa, can I ask you a question?" syifa asked back, Raisa turned her head towards her.
"That's why I didn't forbid you."
"Your age is two years younger than mine, but why are you sitting on the Junior High? You should still be in SD, right?" ask the curious Syifa.
"Yes, I should still be in SD. In the home, we had no parents. There was only a mother's home, a mother's home entered me in elementary school when I was five years old. It should be seven."
"Yes, I was also in Elementary School when I was seven" Syifa said.
"House mom said I used to be such a smart kid. So, the parlour mom decided to go to elementary school. At first, I went to TK school. But, I don't want and want elementary school right away."
"That's good, this school kindly adopted me. Made me a protege. So, I don't have to pay tuition and other money. They also meet all my needs." said Raisa again who gave an explanation.
Syifa understood. The two tell each other their lives.
"So you have two mothers and two fathers? It's delicious, it must be fun."
"Yes, so. My mom left me when I was a month old. But, my mother is not evil! He left me for my own good and my papa's. My mother has sacrificed so much for us."
"Then your parents both got married again?" asked Raisa back who was so curious.
"My mom got married because of circumstances, forcibly by my Oma. My father remarried when I was five years old. It's also your choice."
"That means, you're so close to your connecting mother?"
"That's it, I'm very close and love Mama Shinta."
"Mama Shinta's name?"
It did not feel that long chatter was stopped by a bell ringing, indicating that all students must enter the class following the next lesson hours. Syifa and Raisa enter the class to follow her next lesson. Syifa and Raisa refocused on the lesson until the bells went home.
"Come, let's play to my house." Syifa asked, Raisa so wanted to. However, the rules in schools for adopted children are very strict. He also abandoned his intentions.
"Not that I don't want to, but the dormitory is so strict with its rules. We're not gonna be free to get out."
"I'm gonna get my dad to ask the school for permission, how is it?"
"Is that not a hassle?"
"No, just a second. I'll call my papa first." Syifa picked up the phone and contacted Revan, her papa.
Revan agreed with his son and called the school. The school gave permission and had to return to the dormitory at least five in the afternoon. Revan told his son. Syifa was so happy
"My father asked permission, the school allowed it. Come on!" invite Syifa with enthusiasm, for the first time. Syifa had a friend who was so close to her. Syifa and Raisa were already friends, but not as close as they are today. Syifa takes Raisa on a special private car to shuttle herself to school.
"You are so very lucky, given very luxurious facilities. Your pocket money must also be a lot, why don't you ever want to snack at school?"
"And I told you, my mama always brought me provisions. My meal isn't too much either, if I'm a snack. The provisions that my mother prepared would definitely not be eaten, my mother must be very sad. I don't want to hurt my mom."
