Anjani Darling
Quitting School

Out of nowhere the courage appeared, I reflexively pulled Mega's hand until she turned back towards me, then my right hand slapped her cheek until she screamed in pain, while Diana and her two friends were gaping because they didn't expect me to be that brave.

"That's a reward because you're so mean to me. You've destroyed the flowers, HP and also my veil. Don't challenge me to the orphanage and then you can do it recklessly. I won't just shut up. You have to replace it or I'll repay you!" I took Mega's HP. "This is my guarantee. Until you replace my HP, I'll return your HP." I said.

"Hey, what are you doing Anjani!" shouted Diana.

"Restore Mega HP!" shouted another friend.

"Already, let it go." said Mega.

Actually I was a bit strange with Mega's attitude that let me pass with her HP. But I guess he was scared of me because he slapped his cheek. Hopefully so, he was really afraid that he would not repeat again, you immediately changed my HP so that he could return to communicate with brother Philip.

After losing the veil, of course I did not go straight home, but down the gutter to look for my veil that was washed away by Mega. Unfortunately the water was too heavy that I lost track.

"What are you looking for?" an old mother called me from across the street.

"So my veil was washed away." I replied.

"You're washing in the gutter?" grandma's question was successful in making me laugh. Like the story of garlic alone, who washed it last time his clothes were washed away. But, is this granny going to give me a gourd filled with golden gems? Of course not because this is not a fairy tale.

"No grandma, it was accidentally washed away" I replied.

"Then just follow the river to the end of the road. There's a floodgates, usually it'll get stuck there."

"really? Thanks grandma!" I hurriedly headed towards the floodgates that the grandmother had meant earlier.

Sure enough, my veil was there with the pile of trash that was netted. With the help of a piece of wood, I was able to regain my hood.

Alhamdulillahot. I jumped happily. Now just go home, then wash it so that tomorrow it can be used.

"Anjani!" a voice with a medium tone but full of pressure managed to make my hair goosebumps. Who else would have owned that voice if not the head mother.

"Yes the head mother." I replied.

"Where have you been, then? Where's your hood?"

"There's a head mother. It's!" I showed you a wet veil.

"What are you doing, why is your veil wet?"

Of course I can't explain what happened to the head mother because instead of getting a defense, she could have hated me even more. Everything I do will never be right in mom's eyes.

"I asked, why are you silent" said the head mother again.

"That's sorry head mom. It fell into the gutter." I looked down, worried about a wrong answer.

"That's weird. Your hood is wet but your shirt is not. Next time find the right reason. Just be careful if you do it again, I'll punish you."

I passed soon before the chief mother asked again or would instead give me punishment. Before entering the room, I placed wash the wet veil with sewer water.

"Anjani, you're called head mother!" a child said when I just finished washing my veil.

"Come by the head or you'll get in trouble."

My God, it's so complicated dealing with the head mother. Must always be numbered. There are other needs as well. Including eating. My stomach is very hungry. But not wanting to get into trouble, I immediately headed for the head mother's office.

There was already a middle-aged woman with thick makeup who turned out to be her mother Mega, then Mega with Diana and her two friends. Mega was crying sobbing.

I thought he came here to replace my HP. Thank goodness he replaced it quickly. Maybe he was crying also because he felt guilty or maybe even scolded by his mother for having to replace my HP.

"Anjani, is it true that you took Mega's HP?" ask the head.

"Oh, that." I immediately stammered. Worried about something that came to my mind.

"Anjani Jawab!" said the head mother.

"Yes the head" I said.

"You!" my head looked at me sharply.

"Auntie, please don't scold Anjani. I beg. I get it, Anjani might want that HP. His life is very difficult. Please don't be angry with him. I just want him to give me back my phone because there's a lot of data in it" Mega said in a soft voice but like a threat to me.

"Anjani, now also give back her HP." said the head mother.

"But mother chief ..." I shook my head. The agreement was very clear, my HP will be returned if he has changed my HP.

"Anjani, listen no!" snapped head mom.

I immediately reached into his pocket, returning his HP. Just about to talk to ask for my right, suddenly Mega's mother came forward, she slapped me so hard that she fell to the floor.

"That's a reply because you slapped my daughter. You know, me as her mother never hit or fucked her, but you're a bitch to do it!" said Mega's mother.

"Mother." I said softly, then took hold of my bleeding lips.

"Mother chief, I don't care if this kid really wants my daughter's HP because we could have bought her more. You know, that our family is one of the richest families in this village. What I did not accept was his presumptuous act of hitting my beloved daughter. His skin was too delicate to be injured. Especially with the dirty hands of this child.

I'm really disappointed in the way you educate this head kid. He's like a thug. A child is like this, what if he is an adult?

My daughter is a gentle child, she doesn't like to hurt anyone. But that doesn't mean you can be treated harshly!" his mother Mega.

"That's not true!" I said.

"Anjani, shut up!" said the head mother.

"But chief mother ..." I begged for a chance to explain the real matter.

"Head mother, aunt Elsa was right, Mega was a very good boy, but Anjani loved to bully her. Please Mega's head." pinta Diana.

"Is that true Anjani?" ask the head. Of course I answer with a headband. Unfortunately, no one listened to me. I was brought here only to be judged by their own testimony without ever giving me a chance to defend myself.

"Auntie, I am indeed very afraid of Anjani, but please do not punish him. I'm really sorry auntie for not being able to defend herself. Please forgive Anjani too." pinta Mega again.

"See head mom. Even after being treated so maliciously, my daughter still begs for mercy for this child." said Mega's mother.
