The king's.

"Mama Denger, are you the main character in your school's pension show?" stella asked who suddenly appeared inside the King's room. The owner of the room who had been studying, turned and looked at Stella with a face that was difficult to understand, "why do you see Mama like that?" stella asked again as she drew closer to the King, and stood just to the right of her son. The woman looked at the books on the table that belonged to her son.

"Mama!" suddenly the King hugged his waist. Stella almost fell.

"Why are you, tumben-tumbenan?"

"Sorry ..," he said. Stella closed her eyes. Then took off the King's embrace, after which he said.

"Follow Mama for a minute. Somebody wants Mama to talk to you!" The king simply obeyed and followed Stella to the woman's office. Stella took something from her drawer and gave it to the King.

"This what?" asked the confused King.

"Try opening!" pinta Stella's. The king nodded, then opened an envelope Stella had given him. It turned out to be a photograph and a letter. Before the King read the letter, Stella first hugged him, her tears fell and she said. "Sorry Mama, you've been lying to me all along. Mama doesn't mean to lie to you, Mama just doesn't want you to hate Mama and Mama will be away from you. Sorry Mama," she said, then let go of her embrace, after which she just left. The king looked at the photo in his hand, in the photo there was a stella who still looks delinquent. Wearing a black jacket with ripped jeans. Her hair was in the original pigtail, next to Stella there was a doctor and a woman lying in a gurney, my mama was a baby. On the other side are two sisters. Behind the photo it is clear that it was a photo of her at birth, and the one who gave birth to her was definitely not Stella.

    The king had been suspicious since he entered Junior High School. How could Stella's age be so young, and she began to calculate her own age. If Stella is really her biological mother, is it possible that a 14-year-old child has given birth? strange according to the King.

    And now the King understands. It turns out that Stella is not his real mom, the guy opens the letter under the photo.

Asalamualaikum ...

   Mama's child, this letter Mama wrote because Mama can not talk directly to you. Mama's sorry, all this time hiding the truth about your biological parents.

   You know, maybe after this, you'll hate Mama. Mama did deliberately not tell you, about you who are not your biological child. But, Mama did that because Mama was afraid of losing you baby.

   You've thought of me as your mother's child since you were born. Your biological mother sends you to Mama, and you have to know one thing. Before your mother gave birth to you, she had an accident. And Mama has to say that your own grandmother accidentally hit your Mama. But take it easy, Grandma you're in jail, and that's for life. So you can calm down, Mama apologizes on behalf of Grandma. Forgive your grandmother, baby.

    Although after this you will hate Mama, but Mama even asked you to forgive your Grandma. I'm sorry, Mama will accept whatever your decision is.

Greetings from your mother who always loved you. Nuca Mama's favorite son.

"Mama ...," inexplicably the King's tears flowed uncommanded, after reading the letter. His hands clenched tightly, then walked away from the room.

    This morning the weather was a little cloudy, with a pretty good feeling, Ace walked through the hallways of the classroom. His feet seemed to have healed up a little jump. While humming slowly Ace looked like a junior high school student, when he was almost 17 years old.

    The girl smiled at every student she met. Her hair was neatly rolled, with the remains of a hairdresser on her right left.

"For Gattan," his smile expanded upon seeing the King walking beside Gattan. "morning King." The king did not care at all. Coowok just went straight into the classroom, melapasnya bag put the original bag on the table and then sit down.

"King why?" ask Ace. Gattan pedic.

"Where do I know. Again, time!"

"Iish Gattan, I seriously know!" Gattan chuckles.

"Yes, have you had breakfast?" gattan asked and sat down beside the king.

"Wattan! I'm gonna sit down, your place isn't here!" ace protest.

"But I have breakfast first, yes" pinta Gattan.

"No want! I'm gonna sit down, move!" Ace pulled Gattan's arm to stand up. However, Gattan instead pulled Ace back whose strength was far below him. The girl almost fell on Gattan. But that was all not the case as the King suddenly stood up and held Ace's arm to stay in his position, Ace was surprised as well as Gattan.

"Sorry Ace. I didn't intentionally!" Gattan stood up and apologized. Ace's face was already flushed he was embarrassed as well as annoyed at Gattan.

"Eat mission!" Gattan nodded, moving away from Ace. The girl immediately sat in her chair.

"Thank you King" said Ace. The king did not respond, the man was already busy with his cell phone even though his mind was not there.

    The king sat in the rooftop. The hour of rest is in progress. On the King's arm, King alighted while staring at the master and the bird's companion. Ben and a few others just stand guard around the rooftop. Not to interrupt the King's time.

"Gue's not Mama's son, King!" the king said sadly, "but, on the appeal. Mama must be sadder!" The king rubbed the head of King, the dove who became his best friend since he was 15 years old.

"He reported to his own mother to be in prison. That must have hurt him so much, right!" King twitched, he was already very close to the King. Both are like real friends.

"Gue feels guilty about Mama. I shouldn't be angry with him, but. Means, all this time ague ngrepotin Mama, even though I myself, not her biological child!" King lowered. Staring at the King who was now looking up at him. It seems King knows the King's grief.

"Gue has to apologize, right Mama?" ask King. And of course, no answer from King.

"Yes! You really, I have to apologize to Mama!"
