While Laura was in the cafeteria with her friends, Jamal approached Laura and asked to speak. The three friends said that Jamal was not a good person from his appearance, of course Jamal was angry and wanted to protest. The man wanted to tell who he really was to these three ignorant brats. Laura prevents, tells Jamal to shut up or they won't meet again.

Finally, Jamal and Laura spoke together. Zahrah and her two other friends waited not far from where Laura was talking to Jamal. Jamal urged, asking for help with something. Laura said she had no obligation to help.

Jamal continues to insist, he is Laura's real father, so the girl must be willing to help herself even if she does not want to. Laura likened Jamal to a bottle that she had thrown away, he stepped on it until it was shapeless. Of course Jamal was angry, the man shouted rudely. Cussing at her and Pipit, but Laura doesn't care. He just needs his mother, not the opinion of the insignificant guy who pretentiously behaved sweetly to him lately.

When he returned with his three friends, Zahrah and others were busy talking about food and drinks in the cafeteria. Laura who is sensitive and knows that her friends are curious also finally asked her friends, do they not want to ask her.

Zahrah, Rani, and Windy stared at each other. The three nodded in unison. "If we ask, will you answer?" rani asked to know.

"Maybe," Laura replied unconvinced.

"Then we'll wait until a Laura is ready to tell her own story!" zahrah said with certainty.

"But maybe that will never happen" Laura said in a flat tone.

"Then why?" ask Windy cuek. "Everyone has something he doesn't want to share with anyone. So that's normal and we're not that cool either!" continued the girl indifferently. Although he wanted to know, but he knew that it was not his place to interfere.

"Thank you" said Laura.

Jamal got sick and asked for permission to go home sooner, he was upset and he was lazy to hear orders from others today.

"When this was the last chance I could get close to that son of s*alan," Jamal snorted in the empty air. He's at the stop, waiting for the bus to come. It's true that today is Jamal's last chance to meet Laura, as it's their last day working at the school. Tomorrow they will go to another school.

"Why did the boy become so mean and spicy?!" jamal's grumble recalled what Laura said to him earlier.

"See you later, I'll give him a punishment when I get back!" hiss the man who still thinks that he can come back and join the life together with Pipit again.

The bus that Jamal was waiting for arrived, the man climbed with a stomping step, maybe so upset himself but he had no place to vent his frustration. Jamal intends to get out of his boss' house, he packs up quickly and waits for the house's one to come home. However he can't just leave, he is known as a polite nice guy, not as a self-absorbed and selfish Jamal.

"I came home as soon as I could because you said you were sick when you got the permit" said the man, who was returning home before work ended.

"How's your job, boss?" ask Jamal.

"Thank you, boss. Sorry all this time I was troublesome," said Jamal smiling sumringah seeing the actual money used to be just a toy paper for him. But now that things have changed, he has nothing left. So, no matter how little money he got, he would feel it was quite a lot. What more if he could use that money to get back together with Pipit, get into that mansion again, and become the boss there.

"Where are you going?" her boss asked Jamal to look at Jamal's bag on the man's side.

"Oh, I don't feel good if I keep hitchhiking here" Jamal said immediately.

"So where are you going?" asked the man a little worriedly at his co-worker. "Do you have a place to go?" he said again asking.

"I can pay the rent with the money the boss gives me" Jamal said.

"Come on, staying here won't change anything. I'm alone, too" said the boss. Not that he was a very good person, but he felt sorry to see Jamal who had no family, no destination, instead decided to be independent. It was better to stay with him, the money that the man received could be used for other purposes.

"But I've been troubling you for too long, boss," Jamal said.

"What the hell, instead I'm glad that someone is accompanying me to eat in this usually quiet house," the boss chuckled lightly. "We can go together to work, you I'm bonceng in the back as usual," continued the man.

"Thank you alone will not be enough to repay your kindness, boss," Jamal said without the intention of praising or thanking.

"Then let's live our lives well. Work hard for a brighter and easier future!" said the boss excitedly.

Jamal hid his evil grin. "Good, boss! I will work very hard for my future!" said the man. Of course he will work hard, but unfortunately in another sense. Jamal will keep trying to slip between Pipit and Laura. In whatever way he doesn't care, as long as everything he wants is fulfilled. For the sake of an easier life later on, Jamal can be the holiest or the most evil person. If in a good way he doesn't succeed, he can try to use evil ways to carry out his plan.

"Ha-ha-ha, good, good! Keep your spirits up!" said the boss. "Let's have dinner, today we eat instant noodles again, because I have not filled the ingredients at home," said the boss grinned. He did not have time to shop because he was busy working, so they enjoyed instant noodles as dinner only a few days.

"What's wrong, I also quite like the taste," Jamal said.

"Indeed, people like us are better suited to eating instant noodles that have many choices of taste but are cheap. Luxury food is good, but the bag feels heavy," said the boss, chuckling.
