Finished soaking and getting dressed, Laura chose to lie down. His intentions were only short, knowing that it was already night when Laura opened her eyes. The mother was obviously angry when she saw her new child coming down with a look of waking up.

Pipit continued to insinuate the child, saying that Laura already felt great and no longer needed to learn. There are more people out there than the child.

The butler interrupts, saving Laura's night. They both ate together. While eating, Pipit even asked if there was anything his son wanted to convey.Laura fell silent, she felt she did not have anything to say at all. So he was confused, what exactly did his mother want to hear from him.

...ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ...

"Nothing, ma," replied Laura after being quiet for quite a while.

"really?" Pipit tilted his head, clearly he could not believe what his son had just said.

"Yes, right!" timpal Laura stared straight at her mother.

The mother smiled slightly, looking a little scary because the smile that Pipit made was too mysterious. "You're getting smarter, yeah," the woman said in an inaudible compliment. This was satire and Laura very clearly heard it.

"Laura doesn't understand what you're saying" Laura replied with a hint of courage. He does not want to be misunderstood again and again.

"Huh, really," snorted Pipit threw his gaze in another direction. "Will there be a day when I will be betrayed once again?" grouch Pipit half complained.

"Who do you mean?" laura asked not understanding but from what she heard just now it seemed like the mother thought she would betray her own mother. "Am I going to betray my mother?" laura asked to make sure.

"Who do you think you are?" reply Peek with ketus. "You're hiding the bad guy, you never talk about him coming near you at school! Would you rather be with that rotten man? Are you lulled by her compliments and sweet words? You want to run and live with him? Or maybe you're sick of living with your mom who's getting harder and harder? Never understood you! Always demanding? Not giving you freedom! Did she?" fucked up, gone is already a quiet dinner. Whatever Laura was, she must have lost her appetite like this.

Laura smiled until her eyes closed, but that smile was very insincere, the forced smile of a girl who had just grown up. "Laura never thought like that, ma," the girl confessed. "Laura even always tried hard so that mama was not disappointed, so that mama was proud, so that Laura could get a little recognition from mama," continued the girl honestly.

"But why?" pipit's voice sounded trembling in despair. "Why don't you ever say that crazy guy came to you, worked at your school?" the woman did not understand why her son hid the fact from her.

"Ralat, ma. That guy just works as a call gardener. Laura didn't feel like Laura had to say such an unimportant thing to mom. He's nobody we should look at and know, whatever he does, wherever he is, has eaten or not, it's none of our business, ma. That's why I kept quiet, I didn't respond too much to the man talking" Laura explained so that her mother would no longer misunderstand.

"Mom don't need to apologize, I'm wrong because I don't understand your concerns. I should have told my mom when I saw that ugly guy working there from the first day I saw him" Laura said understandingly.

Pipit smiled in relief, which he feared would not happen. His son will not leave him. Prayer was afraid of that, but he couldn't be too soft on his son either. He was afraid that what he did would only spoil his child and make the child lazy. He was so tough and always demanding. In addition to shutting the mouth of the nyinyir fools around them, Pipit wanted Laura to understand the hard and not too easy to stare at everything.

"How about we just eat a snack?" hatch Pipit.

Laura agreed. "I love the idea" the boy replied as he drew a thin line on his lips.

The mother looks happy her son welcomes the idea she gave. Pipit clapped his hands, then several servants came to hear a signal from his master. "Prepare snacks and tea" said Pipit as he stood up from his chair. "We're both going to the balcony" the woman continued, telling her where her servant had to bring what she had asked for just now.

"Thank you for dinner, just slowly prepare your request" whispered Laura who was quite heard by all the servants standing there.

"Well, young lady," they said in unison. Although it looks cold and stiff, but their young lady is very kind. The lady always said a word of thanks and help when talking to them. Although they are workers here, the lady is never arrogant and arbitrary. Even more impressed that the lady is very polite to those who incidentally subordinate here.

"Miss is really like an ice fairy from a fairy tale," one of them choked in a stifled voice. Of course they dared to say that after both of their masters left this place.

The most senior waiter among them clapped their hands hard enough, asking for attention so that they could work quickly. "Alright, half of us stay here and clear the table. The rest, come with me to prepare what the madam asks!" said intruding.

"Good!" reply them in unison. Soon they work as instructed. Half of them remained in the dining room and cleaned the table. The other half followed the most senior servant and prepared a snack with tea for the mistress.

"Prepare snacks of various flavors! Madam doesn't like food that's too sweet, but make it sweet enough for our lady!" the servant ordered. He also works, of course, not just playing orders. He also has a job here.
