The Back To 12Y.0

Chapters 19. Deren's Cry (4)

The incident that happened to Deren made Arslan feel Iba, Not because of the tragic love story that befell his Father and Mother, but more to the suffering experienced by Deren so far. All the things that Deren went through shaped him into a bad Person, even very bad at the age of his who had just stepped on a teenager in the past.

But the real reason Arslan went to Deren in the hospital was indeed to find out the truth about the reason behind Deren's behavior, Arslan did intend to change Deren into someone better. Because at the time of his previous life, Arslan had met Deren in prison and talked for a long time. On that day Arslan learned the truth that made him very angry, and the key behind it was not Deren. The teenage man named Deren was just crying and crying, when telling the true events when he and his friends dared to rape Arslan's lover. For Arslan, Deren's own nature is actually quite good, he constantly apologizes for what Arslan's lover experienced.

Therefore Arslan intends to help Deren to return to the right path in this life.

"do you hate that woman so much?". Ask Arslan

Deren replied, "Magdalene? Yeah, I hate him so much".

"but why is your attitude so bad? if you hate that woman, you should be better than this"

"i just can't do anything to that woman". Silent, but soon Deren added. "I don't really understand, but.It looks like the woman has full power over my family". His words looked at Arslan with a gaze that hinted at curiosity.

Arslan just scratched his head that wasn't itchy. He said it would be a complicated matter if he got involved. Not only was he still a 12-year-old boy, but he also had no advantages other than his new brain and body.

"Out yeah?". Arslan muttered, He continued. "hey Deren, would you like to be my friend, and eliminate all your bad habits?"

"sorry, I'm not interested"

"wait! I'm not done yet!". Arslan scratched his head even tighter. "I'll help you take care of that woman. Instead you should focus on your academic grades and any achievements you can achieve at this school"

Deren raised an eyebrow, puzzled by Arslan's request. "then what does your condition have to do with taking care of the snake's demon?"

Arslan just shook his head slowly. "it's not time you knew. What are my terms so hard for you to do?"

"no that. The reason why my attitude was so bad at school was to vilify the name of that woman. She's still my mother, that's what everyone knows.."

"but with your attitude like that, it doesn't change if your situation still can't bring down Magdalene". Arslan looked at Deren who was downcast in dismay, then he immediately added. "isn't the reason you want to continue living until now is your Mother?"Deren nodded slowly.

As Arslan was talking about his mother, Deren suddenly sobbed. He was crying, I don't know what he's thinking right now. Deren could only cry, similar to what happened in Arslan's previous life. What Arslan believes now is, Deren is just a little boy who misses the affection of his parents. However, his attitude does not show that he is happy with the luxury given by his father, because in fact he only needs the figure of the real Mother, namely Siti.

Arslan patted Deren's shoulder softly, then said. "Be a child that your mother can be proud of, because that is what she wanted before she died. Watching you grow up to be a useful child for the people you care about". After saying so, Arslan left Deren who was still crying loudly in the middle of the park.

A cafe in the city of Kediri. On the same day.

"what did you read?"

Annisa looked at the person who was asking her at that moment. "nat? no, I'm reading a novel"

She is Bernadeta, Annisa's classmate and best friend from elementary school. Bernadeta is the son of the owner of the cafe, every Sunday he takes his time to help at the cafe.

Bernadeta, who came with a tray with Annisa's favorite Strawberry Ice Juice, asked out of curiosity. He was a little worried about his solitary activities. "gini Sunday you even read a novel. Dating or what's that cake?"

"dating what? Man from where try grout.". he said while drinking the juice slowly.

Bernadeta looked at Annisa with a strange look, and he asked. "you haven't done anything like Arslan?"

Hearing that, Annisa spouted a drink in her mouth. "you said what the hell nat?". she said with a cough.

"i know that you like Arslan, so there's no need to lie"

"know where?"

"that's obvious, right? Every day in class almost every minute you look at Arslan. You're also like a possessed man if you're worried about Arslan!"

Annisa just let out a long breath. While stirring his juice he said. "There's no way a popular guy like Arslan would want to be like me nat. I'm just a geeky girl, no good for a guy like Arslan".

"hasshhhhhhhhh! This is what makes you single to old!". Shouted Bernadeta who immediately left with an angry expression. "will he not stop humbling himself?". The murmur of bernadeta who walked towards the kitchen.

Annisa frowned, looking at her friend who was slightly acting strange. "what the hell is the same kid? Is he coming to the moon?"

Arslan is now at his desk, doing tasks that are given to the school to do at home. But he was not focused because he thought of something.

"It looks like I have to finish this novel and the gaming house project quickly. I don't have much time left, it's gone too far…". Arslan moved from his seat. He also moved to his computer which was recently bought by his father a few days ago. "so. stay 10 more chapters huh? I have to finish today. And send the script tomorrow"

Arslan typed quickly, thinking his first mission should be completed as quickly as possible.
