THE NEGLECTED ZAHRA DIAMOND

Chapter 10

All the students seemed calm and enthusiastic while taking the final exams of the school today.

Just like the others that day Zalika also seemed enthusiastic about doing the test.

Zahra smiled happily to see that her son could take the exam without asking her again.

It did not take long, Zalika was able to answer the questions of his exam in just less than half an hour.

Ms. Dina checked Lika's answer, though,

He was truly a genius child, although he did not pay attention while I was explaining, but everything was recorded well in his memory.

Dina continued to look at Zalika who returned to drawing after finishing her exam.

The first day of the final semester exam successfully passed Zalika well. Zahra then prepared for the second day by again giving training to Zalika after school.

After studying at Zahra's house, he took his daughter for a walk to the park to get some fresh air.

That day there were some students who deliberately gave free coloring facilities for children visitors to the park.

Zalika immediately ran to the stand and asked to come coloring.

The girl was so excited that she painted a lot of pictures. Tired of coloring he then asked for a blank piece of paper and started drawing.

Seeing the irregular picture of Zalika makes Zahra tell her son to stop drawing and give her a reading book. But Zalika did not want to.

The little girl got angry and raged when Zahra asked her to read a book.

Zalika who starts pulling her mother's veil and continues to beat her to bite her. Zalika who started tantrum made Zahra a little overwhelmed to face him.

All the park visitors looked at him, Zahra then did the actions she had learned from the therapists when facing Zalika who was tantrums.

Although many scorned him for being too cruel, he did not care. For him it was the right way and did not hurt his daughter physically or psychically even though the naked eye looked a little cruel.

After curling Zalika, Zahra then calmed her daughter down by giving her a glass of water and trying to advise her.

"Honey if playing in a public place it must be changed, will the other friends not be part of the paper to make pictures or color if Lika coloring everything. So have to replace, not all colored, ok?"

Lika nodded in response to her mother's words.

"Well shame can't be seen by many?" ask Zahra

"Then??"

"If you're ashamed you can't go berserk again if you play in the park,"

"Yes," Lika replied briefly

"Lika honey isn't the same mom?"

"Dear,"

"If dear Lika can't mukulin mamah, bite mamah?"

Zalika immediately shook her head.

"Now if Lika is angry again can not mukulin mamah ya, let alone bite mamah unless Lika is not affectionate with mama, kasian mama mama in pain, tuh see the hand mamah until blue bitten Lika," Zahra shows her bruised hand as it was bitten by her daughter

Zalika then rubbed the hand and blew it.

"If Lika does something wrong, you have to ask...."

"Sorry,"

"Good, now let's apologize equally mamah" Zahra said asking her daughter to apologize

"Sorry about Lika" said the little girl

"Yes my dear mamah sorry, but don't repeat again huh?"

Lika nodded in response, she said.

Zahra then hugged him tightly, "Smart boy" he said, then kissed his daughter's cheek in a frenzy

Lika just silently stared, saw her son did not respond said the man Zahra then lured him to respond, "Honey, om nanya you like to draw or not?" ask Zahra

"Likes,"

"The answer to his omnya yes dear not to mama,"

"Like," replied Zalika looking at the man

"You don't want to draw the same om?" ask the man

Zalika nodded straight away,

The man then gave a painting board complete with a brush and also watercolor.

"Now you can draw anything on this canvas" said the man with a beaming face

"Say what love is as good as Omn" said Zahra

"Thank you,"

"Together son,"

Zalika then began to draw with her imagination.

Seeing Zalika start to scrawl the painting board, Zahra tried to direct her daughter to draw something shaped.

"Where can it be a picture of flowers or a view in the garden?" zahra asked making Lika nod immediately

"Then you can picture flowers or scenery in the park, pictures of butterflies or other animals that are here can also be, the important thing is not an unclear picture. It's a shame if the canvas is as good as this you just doodle. The Omnya part would want you to see a good picture of Lika, so...couldn't Lika another picture?" zahra

"Yes," replied Lika again scrawled the painting board

"It's okay Mom, I prefer that she draws something according to her imagination rather than drawing something ordinary like flowers, houses, animals, animals, or other objects that are usually drawn by children in general. That way the mother's daughter will have a characteristic in drawing and can form her character," said the man

"Yes sir, but my son is different sir, jadu do not be disappointed if the results of the picture do not match your imagination" replied Zahra

"It is precisely because I see your child differently that I am interested in seeing his work. Actually, I noticed him when I was drawing on my student stand, and I saw that the picture was unique, so I wanted to see the picture in more detail with that canvas,"

"Thank God if you understand my daughter's situation" replied Zahra

The man then approached Zalika and observed his painting.

"I'm sorry sir if the results are bad" said Zahra

Zalika who had finished painting gave the painting to the man.

"Who said this is an ugly painting, this is the best abstract painting I've ever seen" replied the man

"What did you draw, son?" his tanya approached Zalika

"Your friend" he answered briefly

He then asked again the meaning of the colors that the child poured in his canvas. Zalika pointed at the red color and then expressed the look of an angry face.

The man then explained the meaning of the picture painted by Zalika to Zahra. The woman was so touched when she found out that her daughter had always been watching her movements all this time.

"He expresses your feelings during this time with her, ranging from sad, angry, happy, even worried,"

"Don't I think you know that your mom was worried about you a lot when she was at school?"

"If you don't mind, please come to my painting studio. Incidentally I also teach painting and your daughter can join if she wants. I see his writing talent is very large, even this expressionist abstract painting work is still rare, so it's a pity if it is not developed" said the man then gave his card

"Don't worry, I'll give you free tutoring for your daughter. For the painting can I bring it to be exhibited in my painting gallery?. Coincidentally later tonight I will hold a painting exhibition in my gallery, if you want to come please," he added

"Please if you want to bring her, God willing I came to your exhibition, and thank you for telling me about my daughter's talent,"

"Together Mom,"

In the evening Zahra visited the painting exhibition Heru Laksono, who is one of the painting lecturers at a famous university in Jakarta.

Zahra could not even hide his pride and was moved when Heru told him that Zalika's painting was bargained for two hundred million by a painting collector.
