Chapters 16. One night with a stranger
Fernando, who is currently with his grandmother, is leaving the house, then suddenly Fernando narrowed his eyes when he realized the car brought by his grandmother drove into a kindergarten.
After parking the car nicely, Novia then turned to her granddaughter while saying, "grandmother wants to take you for a walk here, What do you think?"
Fernando looked around, but because it was a parking lot, he didn't see anyone because it was study time so everyone was busy in class.
Then Fernando nodded his head to make Novia very happy, then the woman immediately got out of the car and helped her grandson get out of the car.
They then entered the school, and because Novia had asked permission from her friend who was the founder of the school, they were free to walk around during the lesson hours.
Novia took her granddaughter to one of the classes there, and they peeked out from behind the door where the children in the class were singing along.
"Didn't they all look happy? What do you think of joining them?" Novia asked her granddaughter.
But Fernando, listening to his grandmother, shook his head slowly with a very disinterested look as he walked away from the class.
Although Novia was somewhat disappointed by her grandson's reaction, but the woman said nothing and only followed her grandchildren until they passed several classes where everyone was engrossed in their activities in the classroom.
But Novia did not see her grandson interested in the activity at all so she sighed and quickened her pace following her grandson.
"How about we go to the park?" Novia asked immediately made Fernando nod his head until they went to the playground located at the school.
After arriving at the playground, Fernando immediately sat on a chair located there, he looked at the playground equipment in front of them, there was a swing, slide, slide, teeter and various other child games.
Novia then said, "How about you try one of the games?"
Then the two people could only stay in their seats until finally the playing hours had arrived, then all the children immediately stormed all the games in front of them to make Fernando become uncomfortable because the park became very crowded and especially some small children looked at Fernando with their curiosity.
"Grandmother, I'm hungry" Fernando told his grandmother as a sign that he was going to leave the place and find a place to eat.
"Ah, Alright, then let's go" said Novia immediately holding her grandson's hand and they left the park.
When they leave the school, they are both approached by a woman who knows Novia.
"Hey, why didn't you tell me you came here with your granddaughter? Ah, this is Melisa's son, he's so handsome!" Novia's words immediately made Novia smile.
"Yes, this is my first grandchild" Novia said with a proud look introducing her granddaughter to her friend.
"Well," the Woman then reached out to pinch Fernando's cheek because he felt so anxious, but Fernando threw his face away to surprise him.
Novia quickly said, "She doesn't like to be touched, she doesn't like crowds either, which is why she's 4 but she doesn't want to go to school yet. I brought her here and hoped she'd be interested in attending school with the kids who were here, but she didn't seem to want to."
"Ah, I see," Novia's friend looked back at Fernando with a smile on her face, but this time she tried not to touch the little man, "you have to go to school, you have to go to school, How about going to school here with your aunt so you can be a smart kid? We have a lot of gifts for a smart child in our school" Novia's friend said, immediately making Novia smile.
But Fernando still showed his flat face and was not at all interested in the words of his grandmother's friends.
Seeing that, Novia quickly said, "she said she was hungry, so now that we want to go for food, I will slowly persuade her to go to school."
"Ah, well, be careful on the road," said Novia's friend letting Novia and her granddaughter get away from the place.
