"Dragonfly! You okay?" asked Bu Lestari while trying to wake Gamal up. The commotion he made woke Zara up. The girl checked who was talking.
The pupils of Zara's eyes widened, when she saw the presence of Bu Lestari. He hurriedly woke up Tirta and Danu.
"Ta, Dan! Cepet wake! We have to hide!" Zara. Occasionally look towards the front door.
"What the hell, Ra? I'm still sleepy." responded Danu who felt lazy to wake up.
"Mom Lestari is here!" Zara voiced out to Danu's ears. Causing the guy to instantly open his eyes wide. The same thing happened to Tirta, just as Zara whispered into her ear.
Zara, Tirta and Danu quickly moved away from the living room. They entered the room at the back. Fortunately, Bu Lestari was too focused on Gamal, so he did not have time to catch the other three students.
Meanwhile, Gamal helped Bu Lestari to stand. Then sit on the sofa. Bu Lestari stared at the still stinking pity of Gamal.
"Mal, can you talk? There's something I want to talk about" said Bu Lestari.
"Ah.. I'm tired again. Later aja deh.." wirih Gamal while leaning head to the back of the sofa.
"Yes, then." Bu Lestari understood very well that the hangover suffered by Gamal was quite severe. Now his eyes scanned around. Hoping to find someone other than Gamal. There was one thing that caught Bu Lestari's attention, namely the sling bag that was draped on the end of the sofa. The bag belonged to Zara.
Bu Lestari picked up the sling bag she saw. Flip through it, then check into it.
'This bag could not have belonged to Gamal's mother. His style is like a bag that is often used by young people today, ' Inner Bu Lestari surmised. As a result of being too curious, he finally took the wallet that was in the bag. Sure enough, Ms. Lestari was surprised by the owner of the sling bag. She is none other than Zara. Students who should be expelled from school. All the prejudices were scattered again in the mind of Bu Lestari.
Once again Bu Lestari circulated the view. Trying to find the owner of the bag. Nihil, he didn't see anyone but Gamal. Bu Lestari could not risk going into Gamal's house any deeper. Fear will be counted.
"Mal, where's your dad?" Ms. Lestari asked Gamal again.
"They're dead!" answer Gamal origin.
Bu Lestari was shocked. He certainly does not believe the words of a drunk.
Not long after, Bi Nur came from the market. He was immediately invited to chat by Bu Lestari.
"Gamal's mother's father is at home, isn't he?" ask Bu Lestari.
"Nothing, Mom. It just so happens that they haven't come home yet. He said there was a lot of work to be taken care of" said Bi Nur.
Bu Lestari nodded weakly. Then glanced at Gamal who might have fallen asleep. "Did Gamal have been like this a lot, Bi?" he said as he moved his eyeballs towards Bi Nur.
"Em.no, Mom. This is the first time Den Gamal has been like this. Probably because I'm bored at home." Bi Nur chose to lie. Because if he's telling the truth, then chances are Gamal could be expelled from school. So that his position as a person who had talked to Bu Lestari, would definitely bear the risk.
"Ah. Can Bi Nur make food to eliminate the influence? If you can't, maybe I can help." Bu Lestari smiled faintly.
"Could. Don't worry, I'll make porridge with warm tea for Den Gamal. Lagian Den Gamal certainly does not want to take care of Mom," Bi Nur replied gently.
"Yes already then. Maybe I should just go home." Bu Lestari tightened the bag to the shoulder.
"No drinking, Mom?" tawar Bi Nur's.
"No need, Bi." Bu Lestari then decided to go home. He walked down through the fence of Gamal's house.
Bu Lestari was really sad when he learned the fate of Gamal. Now he knows the reason behind the naughty attitude of his protege. It all seems to be due to lack of attention from parents.

After being satisfied with crying, Raffi immediately took a shower and changed clothes. Then take a nap to rest. He did not forget to open the door. Raffi deliberately did so that the mother could enter his room later.
Three hours passed. As Raffi expected, Heni went into the room. Bring a tray of food.
"I was out this morning for a while, Mah. Meet Elsa and Vina. We were just talking about school" Raffi said.
Heni smiled faintly. "Mamah believes it. But why didn't you just explain the same Papah?" respond while sitting to the end of the mattress.
"So I was kebelet, Mah. Just a paper one." Raffi grunts violently. He took the food his mother brought. That is chicken porridge with a packet of crackers.
"If so, then you should speak the truth with Papah. She'll have bad prejudices with you later, huh?" Heni tried to speak carefully.
"Mmm!" Raffi only muttered while nodding his head once.
"Yes, finish the food. Then the same plate of dirty glass brought to the kitchen. Do not habitually tell Mbok Asri to continue!" Heni. He's out of the room immediately.
Raffi grunts in relief. He even finished Heni's chicken porridge. Maybe he just needs to prepare for his father.
A message from Gamal was received by Raffi. Instead of apologizing, the fat-haired guy was even nagging about being abandoned. Gamal does not accept Raffi and Elsa come home first from the nightclub.
Raffi clucked in annoyance. He certainly had no interest in replying to Gamal's message. The guy chose to sleep back in the bed.
The needle in Raffi's wall clock kept moving forward. Not feeling a day passed. The holidays are over. All students are required to return to school.
"Raf, I'm first! I forgot about PR Bu Rara's work!" Elsa got out of the car first. He immediately ran over and disappeared into the distance.
"Basically it's a child! So it continues," Raffi commented as he got out of the car. Then we walked towards the school gate.
A girl in two braids was seen stopping in front of the gate. He is Fitri. The girl Raffi met on vacation at grandma's house.
Fitri seems to feel guilty about what he did to Raffi. So he dared to apologize.
"Sir Raffi!" call Fitri. He not only managed to make Raffi's footsteps stop, but also the disciples who happened to pass by. Especially the students who often underestimate and embrace it. They even whispered to each other to mock.
"Eh look, he now dares to talk to Raffi."
"Sorry that's a girl. Shabby, poor again. No disobeying him. Fft!"
"Gue wanted to know, how slippery the mask was. Is that a mask, right? ckckg..."
Fitri tried to ignore the taunts of those around. His intention was just to say sorry, because it had left Raffi in the cornfield the other day.
"Why, Fit?" raffi asked with a frown. It just so happened that his mood was bad. Especially when remembering he had to meet with Gamal soon.
"Anu, brother. I'm just..." Fitri lowered her head. As usual, he was always nervous in front of Raffi.
"Diddeliver! Fitris. Act like hell. I don't have glass in my house." A student raised his voice to give a mockery.
"Yes, he doesn't have. I'm sure, the mirror belonged to him must be just a fragment that his father picked up in the trash. Haha!" another student came along.
"Quick by the way, Fit! You want to hear them buli elo continue?" timpal Raffi.
Fitri was busy. The mockery that people gave out made his courage run out.
"I'm willy-nilly"
"By time!" cut Raffi while meringus away. Because he watched Bu Lestari from a distance. Raffi is determined to do something with the help of his teacher.
"I guessed it. Raffi sister where to talk to kayak lo girl!"
"Huu..."
Fitri who was left behind, had to come back to get ridiculed. There were even some schoolgirls who pushed her head violently. Then laugh.
