Because of Laura's sometimes erratic school-going hours, the driver was too late to pick up the girl. Laura waited outside because it was time for the school gates to close, before long an unknown man asked Laura for a clock. Laura did not reply, she instead pointed at the large clock that was clearly visible from where they were standing at the moment.

After talking in circles about this and that, the man said that Laura's face reminded him of the child. He described himself as sorry, precisely very, very sorry for ever being persuaded by seduction and leaving his family.

Jamal also wondered, if he did not go, he would have seen the child grow with his own eyes. Not enough to get there, Jamal even shed tears to make it more visible that he was very sorry and sad about everything he had done in the past.

Laura's response was inversely proportional to Jamal's expectations, the girl even told Jamal to die. He even said that the word if there was no use in this world. Afterwards, Laura left without turning her head and got into her pickup car that had just come.

Jamal kicked the fence so upset himself. He thought the plan would work. In fact, it was just a failure that he got. The man also blamed Pipit, he accused that Pipit was not right to educate their innocent and beautiful child. The child should have a high sympathy, kind heart, and friendly. Not that it was such a sturdy and very rigid wall, he had no idea what Pipit was teaching their child.

Having just arrived at the room he was in, the door of his room was pounded quite hard. "What?" ask Jamal to get emotional. Already the thing he had planned to fail, there were now people interrupting his time. Obviously the person will definitely be the target of Jamal's current temper tantrum., he said.,

"Sorry before, if you still want to stay, please pay off the rest of your previous bills" said the person who turned out to charge Jamal.

"You don't think I can afford to pay?" jamal's snort ride apitam. He's never been treated like this before, he's always been treated as a special guest. But now, he was instead charged like a person who would run away without paying.

"That's not what we mean, sir," said the official, keeping a professional smile. "It's already the rule in this place, sir," he said again continuing. "Please understand and forgive us, sir," the person added very politely.

"How much?" jamal asked as he rolled his eyes. The man immediately pulled out a cash sheet from his wallet as soon as the employee told him how much he should pay. "Take the rest! Think of it as a tip" said Jamal Ketus. "And don't bother me anymore!" the man said he could not hide his frustration.

"Sorry to interrupt an– time" said the employee disconnected. Jamal closed the door very loudly, lazy to hear any useless chatter at all.

"It sucks!" snort the man.

Jamal kept thinking, where exactly lay the mistake he made. Why would that supposedly kind and innocent child instead tell him to die in a cold tone. Does the boy recognize himself, but Jamal has doubts about it. How smart the child is to be able to immediately recognize the face that he has changed a lot.

"This must be a Pipit job!" hiss Jamal with eyes glistening with vengeance. "Only that woman can do something like this!" continue the man. Jamal cursed all out last night, Pipit was the target of the man's curse. He blamed everything on Pipit, the woman must have poisoned the innocent brain of the child with all sorts of bad words about him. The man is not self-conscious, if he is a bad father. He continued to assume what he did was not wrong, he was just bored and needed a short entertainment. Now that he was back, Pipit should have welcomed his arrival again with great joy.

At night, before going to bed. Laura came to her mother. The girl knocked on her mother's door slowly, afraid that her mother had fallen asleep and that she would just interrupt.

"Lake in!" her mother's voice came from inside as she knocked on her mother's bedroom door for the third time. "What's up, baby?" pipit asked a little surprised, not usually Laura approached her if there was nothing very important. So, what this kid wants to talk to him about right now.

Fingered forehead inside. "You bullied someone?" ask the woman to guess. "Is your schoolmate being bullied by your schoolmate?" continued Pipit prejudiced that no-no.

"Not that, ma," Laura responded.

"Then? Why do you ask for a guard?" tanya Pipit doesn't understand.

"I didn't ask for a guard, mama. I asked that someone wait for me at school before I leave the class" Laura explained

"You want to get picked up early and wait until your school home hour arrives, do you?" tukas Pipit understands.

Seeing his son nod his ass, Pipit put on a serious look. "What happened today, Laura?" tanya Pipit felt that today something wrong happened to her son.

"A man approached Laura when the gate was closed, the man spoke indistinctly and I think he was the trash man that mama told me about earlier," Laura replied casually.

"Baj*ngan!" aspir Pipit cussed at Jamal. "What's he doing? What have you heard, baby?" tanya Pipit impatiently. The woman approached her son and shook Laura's little shoulder

"Just words filled with nonsense, ma," Laura replied as she looked straight into her mother's eyes.

"Don't listen to him, Laura! Never listen to her words and be fooled by her!" tukas Pipit emphasized his words to his son.

Laura nodded in understanding. "I told her to die instead, ma," said the girl in a soft tone. "I hate to hear the word if it comes out of that indistinct man's mouth!" continue the girl. His lips said hate, his heart felt a sense of annoyance, but his face still remained flat. That's Laura, the stiff girl who forgets how to express herself because of the many demands of her mother.

Now it was Pipit's turn to nod, he was glad that his son replied to Jamal with such cruel and heartless words. The trashy man did indeed match the harsh words that were filled with mockery.

"Mommy will tell our driver to come half an hour before school, baby," Pipit said. His feeling calmed down again. "Now sleep, it's night," she continued, rubbing Laura's head, perhaps unintentional and just done. But Laura was quite happy despite being a little surprised at the beginning because of it. "Don't forget to learn when you wake up!" added the mother.

Laura went back to her room, she held her head. A very thin smile was painted on the lips of the girl, a warm feeling bursting. "It's a beautiful night" the girl muttered lightly towards her room. Laura was sure that tonight she would fall asleep very soundly.
