The sunlight had penetrated through the window grille of Melati's room. The morning air smells fresh. Perfect morning today with a gentle breeze.
Melati tried to squirm her body. Removing all the fatigue and stiffness of his body.
Back Melati found that her husband didn't come home last night. There was a slight subtle pain felt in his chest. Clear warm liquid slightly moistened his eye fertilizer but jasmine tried to brush off all the flavors.
Melati had promised herself to no longer wish on her husband.
As much as possible whatever it is will fight for itself. Especially when it comes to children. He will fight with all his strength.
Today Melati is determined to take her own steps in her efforts to meet the needs of her childbirth costs.
She no longer wished for Leo. Because it is very certain there will be no way out it will only add its own wounds and pain for Melati.
Melati took a towel and performed her morning ritual. After finishing he tidied himself in front of the glass.After it was felt quite neat with a long blouse colored tosca make Melati look so charming. Her long and thick hair made the aura of Melati's beauty radiate even more.
After all it felt okay Melati stepped towards the room Gea.
Melati also knocked slowly on the door of Gea's room.
Finally Gea also welcomed the arrival of Melati with joy.
"Good morning mama. My mom is so beautiful today. Yuk ma we're leaving now. We have breakfast in Sanggar, yes ma." whine Gea while hugging her mother.
Melati understand why Gea prefers breakfast in Sanggar. Gea was afraid to meet her father. For Gea if there is a papa, the atmosphere must be uncomfortable.
"But today Gea did not come to Sanggar with mom. Gea just wait at Aunt Velly's house. Because mama will have important business with om Tian." explained Melati.
Seen the look of the face that was shining cheerfully turned sullen.
"Why can't Gea come with me? Banned by Tian, ma? " press Gea wants to know why.
"No dear. Om Tian never forbade Gea to Sanggar. It's just that today mama's a lot of work----" not finished yet Melati finished her sentence.
"Gea's promise is not bad. Gea just wants to learn how to dance there." whined Gea.
With great difficulty while holding her stomach Melati slightly bowed and one hand touched Gea's tiny face.
"Gea just love today Gea at Aunt Velly's house. Tomorrow... We're both going to Sanggar again. Gea can take up dancing practice again there. Mama promise! Deal??" persuade Melati to Gea to want to be left at Velly's house.
With a little hesitation Gea nodded slowly. " Remort!" answer Gea.
Melati smile. His heart was proud of his son. As small as Gea but his understanding was incredible.
Melati also kissed the tip of Gea's head.Then stroked gently."Thank you very much for understanding. Mama's proud of you." whispered Melati.
Then they went to Velly's house first. Then Melati continued her journey to Sanggar Tarinya.

"Woii Leo, then,! Bankrupt you already ! This time I won again!' paul mocks Leo.
Lemas is Leo. His gambling capital today changes hands quickly in the hands of his playmates.
Leo could only look down and hold his head. It should have been if not the wrong move he will win the game this time. But in reality Leo was wrong and finally his friend who managed to win the game today.
"Hows it? Still doubting my greatness?" exclaim Paul while wagging the money he won.
"So I almost won a card I'm all good" Leo tried to defend himself.
"But I won?!" Then Paul and his friends laughed.
Leo fell silent while clenching both of his hands. Resist the emotions that are stirring in Leo's heart. His pride seemed to be trampled by Paul in front of his men.
Leo subconsciously kicked the table and walked away and headed for the bar table.
At the bar table Leo let out all his annoyance by drinking lots of alcoholic beverages.
Some of Leo's friends try to stop Leo's actions. They worry Leo will get drunk and end up in the Hospital but Leo threatens anyone who dares to come closer and forbids him to drink. Leo broke one of the bottles and aimed at anyone who approached and injured one of his friends who was close to him.
One by one his friends back off and no longer force Leo to stop drinking.
For making a noise at the bar and endangering the other guests. Leo is forced out by security in an unconscious state due to the influence of too much alcohol.
Leo staggered and abused every woman he met on the street. Many women scream in fear on the street. Leo laughed triumphantly. Until finally Leo was secured by the security personnel of the complex.

"For Tian, what's tumben?" Melati looked at her watch and then changed to look at the clock on the wall.
Tian smilingly looked at Melati confused by the arrival of her who was earlier than usual.
"Do you have an appointment with a client ?" guess Jasmine
Christian chuckled "No .. I did come in the morning on purpose. Kangen with Gea. Here I bring something for Gea I hope she likes."Christian gives me a bag of dolls and houses."
"This is all for Gea Tian?" Melati's eyes dewy wetly saw so many toys that Tian had given Gea.
Christian nodded."Wh why? Gea doesn't like it? I don't know what he likes. Random is just a girl's toy I bought." explains Christian with his innocent face.
Seeing Christian feel guilty like that made Melati feel bad.
"It's not so Tian. It's just too much. Gea must have liked it a lot. Thank you yes but really you do not need to do this.Later Gea became spoiled." said Melati.
"Not every day Mel. Just relax. I'm sure that the character of Gea is not a spoiled child.Walau as many toys as we give him." said Christian sure.
"Thank you Tian. Gea is an amazing kid. My proud little angel." said Melati proudly while imagining Gea's adorable face.
Christian looked to the right and left looking for something.
"Where's Mel?"
"What?"
"Geea... Where's she? How do the tumbens not look like? Are there any beginner exercises for kids today? " ask Christian streak.
"Gea at Velly's house."

"What's Mel doing? Serious issue? Go into my room yuk!' take Christian.
Melati followed Christian to his room.
"Please sit! What's up, huh? I hope it's not bad news you brought for me" Christian said.
"Bad news?Mean you?" ask Melati confused.
"You didn't apply to resign, did you? " See Christian sharply trying to find answers from the look in Melati's eyes.
"Oh no ! Instead I want to ask about vacancies as a teacher here? " sahut Jasmine.
"Teacher staff? Why why anyway? Any of your relatives or friends who want to teach here?" Christian is still confused by the purpose of Melati's talk.
"For me Tian"
"You? " Christian widened his eyes increasingly confused sign .
"Can I teach here? After I gave birth.?" please Melati.
"Of course I can! With pleasure. I'm really flattered. Class dancer Melati Kusuma Wardhani wants to share her knowledge by teaching here" Welcome Tian heard Jasmine's question.
"But ehmm ... '
"But why Mel?
"May I ..." Melati confused to express her meaning.
"Christian was too good as a boss.Ntar I thought he was struggling with all the goodness he had been. No boss is as good as Christian." thought Melati.
"Can what? Mel....?" tanya Christian sees Melati drifting in her own mind.
"Ehmm .. but I'm not forcing Tian, if it's okay." said Melati.
Christian played his ballpoint pen. On the sidelines of her fingers while continuing to stare at Melati trying to read what Melati was thinking
"Let's just say Mel don't hesitate." said Christian.
"If I may. I ask for three months my salary as a teacher is paid up front. Can not?I promise after giving birth, I will teach here as well as arrange the implementation of Sanggar." replied Melati.
Christian breathed a sigh of relief it was not the thing he feared the most that Melati would say.
Christian was more afraid of Melati resign from her offense. Because it is not easy to find employees who he trusts and can all like Melati.
"Oh okay if the matter .. deal" Then Christian reached out his hand to Melati sign agreed.
"Do you need a deal with black and white approval? I'm ready." asked Melati
"Necessary. I believe you're Mel. We have known him for a long time." replied Christian with a smile.
"Okay ... let's agree! After you gave birth you taught here. And the first three months' salary I paid up front. That right?" Christian reassures Melati.
Melati nodded in relief.
"Alhamdulillah I can finally cover the estimated lack of maternity costs next month "though Melati was relieved. One problem he solved by himself .
Suddenly the ringing of Melati's phone rang.
After asking Christian for permission to take a call. Melati also stepped out of Christian's room.
"Hallo is right I'm jasmine."
"What?!" jasmine was shocked to hear the news she had just learned.
His phone fell on the floor violently. Lemas already herself the muscles of her body are no longer able to support her weight.
Slightly staggered Melati heard the news that her husband is currently being held in the police station for drunkenness. Leo hurt someone and abused some women.
Melati leaned her body against the wall so as not to fall down and tried to understand what was going on right now
His heart was sliced with pain. Her husband was drunk again and even abused several women. A very bitter reality that he must again accept as a test of his married life
Suddenly his stomach felt very stiff and twisted.
"Armgh!" jasmine shouted withstanding the pain that suddenly appeared.
Hearing the moaning of Melati. Christian ran towards the source of the sound.
How surprised Christian saw Melati groaning in pain sitting holding her stomach with blood flowing on the sidelines of the second pa-ha Melati.
"B....!!" christian shouted frantically at the blood that kept flowing .
