While waiting for the event to begin, they new and old students get to know each other and talk about things that make the souls of the poor struggling instantly.


"I just bought this bag in Paris, the price is very cheap and if the value with rupiah the price is only around hundreds of millions" said a student named Florencia showed her luxury bag.


"Well done, look at my shirt it's also very cheap. Not to mention all my clothes and jewelry. All bought when we and our family visited Switzerland," said a student named Sandra berggok while showing her appearance.


The students were showing their wealth and laughing together, occasionally talking about their father's business and also glancing at the handsome and wealthy students who attended the college.

A few moments later, the show finally began. Various welcome words from various parties have been delivered and now is the time for the guest of honor to give his speech.


"Well, now let's hear a few words from someone who is no stranger to our ears."


"Applause to our guests of honor, Mrs Carisa and Mr Nathanael!" said an MC calling guests and instantly the whole room was filled with applause.


"Prok! prok! prok!"


"Time and place we give!"


They stand to give his word of welcome, but before that Michael holds Mamy and his Daddy's hand.


"Mommy ... Daddy, remember yes. Don't call my little name in front of a lot of people, okay!" michael whispered to both of his parents and immediately they smiled markedly understood.


"Okay Miki," Mamy replied and stepped forward.


"Gee!" Michael cut his lips.

The madam and the Great Lord began to give his words of welcome, all the students fell silent to listen to the strands of encouraging words from them and after they finished giving the words of welcome, all the students fell silent, The madam thanked him and apologized to someone in closing.


"As a closing word, as, I would like to thank a janitor girl at this college who has found and has also returned my son Michael's student card and I also personally apologize to the girl for has received unpleasant treatment from one of the workers in my home."


All were whispering about the girl and wondering which janitor girl the big lady was referring to, considering that the cleaning lady on campus was quite a lot.


Jelita froze after hearing the words, then realized if the words turned out to be intended for her. Jelita who felt insecure just looked down and did not hear if she was called.


"I asked the girl to come forward and receive a little present from me as a token of gratitude and also an apology."


All eyes searched for the girl until their eyes became tired because it had been almost ten minutes the janitor did not show his form, while Jelita was still standing at his place.


While continuing to lower her head Jelita did not realize that someone had stood before her and said, "Hey! I thought you were just an ugly girl with no eyes but, apparently, you don't have ears either."


"Deg!"


Jelita was surprised until both of her shoulders rose up quickly, she looked up and suddenly she was silent. Especially when he saw Michael who was standing with an angry look at him.


Michael snorted angrily then pulled Jelita's hand and brought her to approach Mamy who was still faithfully waiting for the girl.


"Mommy, the girl Mamy meant is here!" michael shouted from a distance.


Mamy, who heard her son calling, turned and smiled happily, then asked Michael to bring the girl.


Along the way, all eyes were on Michael and Jelita. Many of them were staring cynically and also uttering insinuating words to Jelita out of annoyance.


"Bas a lowly man! he was lucky to be called. Still dare not show themselves, until the Master and Madam wait that long!" florencia.


"Rubber! who exactly is he, just a janitor here, to the point of daring to ignore the request of the rich family in front of us! until handsome Michael had to bother picking up that ugly woman!" reply Sandra.


"Not only that, he is also very cunning and uses cheap tricks by pretending not to hear so that he is touched by Michael. Are all poor girls always like that, looking for opportunities to get close to rich and handsome men? It really is unforgivable!" they said they were throwing each other a pique.


All the female students inside were unceasingly staring cynically and blandly at Jelita, but Jelita could only bow down to accept the hurtful words.


But Jelita's tears were unstoppable when she heard someone casually say something that really pierced her heart.


"Mom must be just like him. Poor, ugly and lowly woman!" They laughed happily.


Jelita shook violently, her hands she tightly clenched. It felt like he slapped the woman's mouth, but given her position, Jelita just passed through the crowd of callous women and tried to stay strong to hear everyone who insulted her.


Until the moment Jelita stood in front of the big madam, she just looked down not daring to look at the honorable person before her. But a delicate hand wiped Jelita's tears and pulled her chin until their eyes met.


Jelita was only stunned to see the beautiful face of the big madam who smiled at him. "Son, why are you crying? now tell me. What's yourname?"


"J-jelita ...."


As everyone inside laughed loudly, they burst out laughing at the real name of the janitor girl. They laugh at names that do not match their appearance or appearance.


"Hey is he on stand up comedy!" yelled at the students who were there and it was a success adding fun to those who heard it.


Jelita suddenly turned pale, she was very embarrassed and wanted to leave, but she was held back by someone.


"Don't be ashamed, for me you are very beautiful" said the big lady and smiled at Jelita.


"T-thank you ... You're the second person to say I'm beautiful after Mom," Jelita replied and everyone laughed.


"The face of the poor is ugly so what is beautiful!" the sound of students screaming from the crowd.


"Only 2 people said she was beautiful!"


Jelita returned glum as everyone scoffed at her, The unbearable mistress then asked everyone to shut up and say to all who were there.


"What is the meaning of your beautiful face if it is not accompanied by a good heart. No one can hurt a person's feelings let alone it is a woman and don't call her a poor person. If you demean this girl, then directly you are also demeaning me. You need to know that I was also raised by a poor family. I will never forgive anyone who insults anyone at will even if it is my own biological child."


All were speechless including Michael who stopped laughing suddenly as the Mamy stared intently at him.


"Now, I, as the representative of the students as well as the parents here, wholeheartedly apologize to Jelita."


Jelita grabbed the big madam's hand and then shook her head. "No need Madam, don't apologize to me because you're not wrong. Their words are true of me like this."


"You're kind, keep it that way. I also apologized with the inappropriate attitude of the security guard yesterday and thank you for returning my son Michael's card. And as a thank you, you can meet me when you need something or come to my house to play."


Jelita nodded. "Sama-sama Mistress. Well, madam, I'll see you when I need help. Thank you," and then they hugged.


The lady then told Michael to apologize to Jelita and with a heavy heart Michael apologized. It made everyone stare furiously including Michael for being forced to apologize to Jelita.


"What special about the girl, until Michael also had to apologize to her. Just look tomorrow, we're gonna teach that ugly guy a lesson!"


The students and students agreed that Jelita would not calm down while working in the campus and from that moment on the beginning of the oppression to Jelita began.
