My madam, my poison

Unsuspectedly

"But why, Mom? What happened to Fina? Just say it," I urged.

"Look, Mom. When I went to the market yesterday, I accidentally saw Fina shaking hands with a man. But Fina doesn't wear school uniform."

"Didn't my mother see? Every day Fina was always saying goodbye to me to go to school even she often went home in the afternoon because she had to take additional lessons."

Ms. Sari chuckled.

"What lesson, Mom? Fina's in class with my son, Windy. Windy always comes home on time anyway they're new first class, where there might be extra tutoring."

"Ehm .. well so thanks for the information. I'll try to ask Fina."

"Be careful mom. There's a high school student in the housing next door who never went to school, knew she was giving birth. Maybe I should keep a closer eye on the Princess."

The deg! I don't know why the sentence that just slid from Bu Sari's mouth made me feel even more worried.

"Yes, ma'am, if you'd like to take Lyra, Assalamualaikum."

I took Lyra's hand and took her away from the place.

Arriving at school.

Lyra's remark that Saddam had changed schools intrigued me. I decided to ask the principal directly.

"Good morning, ma'am," I said to Santi's mother as I entered the teacher's room.

"Waalaikumsalam, Miss Azzura."

"Sorry Mom interrupted his time. Can we talk?"

"Oh, of course, please sit."

"Look, Mom. My daughter told me that Saddam had moved out of this school. Is that really so?"

"Yes, Mom. About two days ago, Saddam's parents came to this school. They said they had to move out of town because her husband Mala was placed in a new branch office outside the city."

"Do you know where their new address is?" my many.

"Sorry Mom, I don't know. Maybe you can ask her directly to Miss Mala."

"Thank you for the information, ma'am. Excuse me first, Assalamu'alaikum."

I don't know if I should be happy or sad about Ms. Mala and her family moving out of town. Did Mala change her mind to no longer bother with the dead Alden? I also have to find his certainty.

I took my phone and called Mala's mom.

"The number you are going to cannot be reached."

That's what I always hear when I call his cell phone number.

It looks like Mom changed her phone number instead.

I'm wasting my breath.

I don't know, I don't know the reason why Miss Mala suddenly left town and changed her phone number. Though in the past few days he has been so intensely demanding that I look for the whereabouts of Maureen and ask me to bring her before him.

The statement I heard from Ms. Sari some time back ringed in my ear. It's impossible if Miss Sari lies. But I also find it hard to believe that Fina did something as she said.

"Sir Amin is healed?" I asked when I got home. I saw my personal driver cleaning my car.

"Thank God, no, ma'am. After taking the medicine yesterday I snuffed."

"Thank God then. If Mr. Amin has breakfast, Mr. Amin takes me to Fina's school."

"Good, Mom."

"Aren't there any meeting invitations at Fina's school?" ask the mother who just emerged from the house.

"Yes, Mom. Just now his homeroom teacher sent me a message."

I felt that sentence was the right one in answer to mother's question. It would be uncomfortable if I said what I heard from Ms. Sari to her in front of Mr. Amin.

After Mr. Amin finished breakfast, I took him to Fina's school.

The first place I went was the teacher's room. It just so happened that Fina's homeroom teacher, Mr. Anwar was there.

"Good morning, sir," I said.

"Good morning. It just so happened that I met Bu Zura here. Though the plan today I will send a call letter to Mom," said the bespectacled teacher.

"Su-su-rat call?"

"Yes, Mom. This past month Fina's been ditching a lot."

"That's impossible, sir. Every morning Fina always say goodbye to me by wearing her school uniform" I argued.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask her directly to her classmates."

"Sir Anwar is right, ma'am. Every time I fill out a lesson in grade 10-A, Fina is often absent." One of the teachers who was also in the room chimed in.

"In the near future the school will hold a repeat of the class increase. I hope you can keep a closer eye on Fina."

"Okay sir, thanks for the information. If I may ask permission to meet my classmate Fina."

"All right, let me drop her off to her class."

We walked together to Fina's class on the 2nd floor.

"Mom" he said, nodding politely at me.

"Are you Fina's best friend?" my many.

"True, Mom my name is Hani."

"Is it true that Fina's been skipping school lately?" ask again.

"Ehm .. right, ma'am."

"Astaghfirullahaldzim says. Do you know why Fina's ditching?"

"I'm sorry I don't know. But Vina once told me that she met a man on a friendship app. Since then Fna has been ditching."

"Do you know the name of the man's friend?"

Hani seemed to think for a moment before he gave an answer.

"Ehm .. if not the wrong account name

"BOY .. ehm .. BOY 2000."

"Do you know that guy?"

"No, Ma. Fina just told me her account name."

"All right, thank you very much. This information has helped me a lot. You can go back to class."

"Good, Mom." Hani then re-entered his class.

"I think the information is enough, sir. Excuse me, good morning."

"Good, Mom. Hope this thing gets a way out soon."

Although not my real daughter, Fina is under my responsibility. I don't want him to choose the wrong friend let alone fall into the negative.

"Mother why? It seems very confused" said Mr. Amin shortly after I entered the car.

"Ehm …"

I who had intended to hide this from Mr. Amin, finally chose to reveal it. I consider that man to be my own family.

"Fina, sir."

"Why with Fina?"

"I heard from bu Sari if she saw Fina flashing with a man in the market without wearing her uniform. When I asked the homeroom teacher and his classmates, I got a pretty surprising answer if Fina for almost a month now Fina often skipped school including today. This morning he told me to go to school and ask for money to visit one of his friends who was hospitalized. But he didn't really go to school. One of her classmates also said Fina had been truant since she knew a man on a friendship app" I said.

"Don't the man that Bu Sari saw with Ms. Fina was that man."

"I think the same with Mr. Amin. According to you, what should I do?"

"Look, Mom. I think I tried to talk slowly with Ms. Fina. Ms. Fina is a girl who is growing up, I if Mom immediately reprimands her, she will be offended or maybe it will be angry at Mom."

"Yes, Sir. Thanks for the input. We'll just go home."

Arriving at home.

"You look so lethargic, son. How was the meeting at Fina's school?" ask mother.

"Sorry, Mom. If I had lied to Mom. Actually I didn't go to Fina's school to attend a meeting."

"Want to?"

"I went to Fina's school because I heard something bad about her from Sari's mom who said that she saw Fina shaking hands with a man in the market. Out of curiosity, I checked into her school. Sure enough, today Fina did not go to school. Even more surprising, I heard from her homeroom teacher that for almost a month Fina used to skip school."

"Astaghfirullahaldzim says. Really the kid doesn't know it's lucky. It's good you want to accommodate him and finance his school. Why is his behavior so minus?"

"I hope that when Fina comes home, I don't bully her right away. We just have to ask her subtly so she doesn't take it personally" I said.

"Children don't know themselves to be taught a lesson!" exclaim mom.

Our conversation came to a halt when suddenly my house phone rang. I also answered that phone.

[Hello, Assalamu'alaikum. The Azzura residence. Who am I talking to?]

[Waalaikumsalam, Mom. This is bi Ami]

[Oh, Bi Ami. What's up, Bi?]

[Mbak Fina, Ma'am .. Mbak Fina]

[Why with Fina, Bi?]
