Sean walked with dignity. His chin was raised, until now he walked like an arrogant person. Next to the man, there was Cahya who was also walking with his wife.
They both get calls from the school on behalf of Randika, Nandika and Rendi.
In all honesty, this is not the first time they have been called to school, this is the umpteenth time.
At times, Sean was astonished, how could a good boy like Rendi be stuck with a bad boy like his two sons? Ah, never mind, don't think about it.
"Lo still wants his teacher's room, Se?"
"Yakali's been to school a lot but forgot the teacher's room" Sean replied without stopping his steps.
"I forgot, huh?"
"What's on your mind is just a girl." - Sean's circus.
Cahya snorted, "gue is already insyaf."
Both continue their steps. Sean took a breath as he and Cahya had already reached the teacher's room. Ah, in front of the teacher room rather.
Geck. Geck. Geck.
Politely, the two fathers knocked on the door, then went inside.
Both grimacing. They were the last ones to get there. Because by the time the two of them entered, it was already crowded inside a spacious room. Yes, crowded by parents who come because of his troubled son.
"Sorry late." - Sean. Instantly, he cursed himself for instead waiting for Cahya. He should have just left alone.
"It's okay, please sit."
The teacher tagged Laskar who is known to serve as the headmaster was allowed the two people to sit down.
Sean glanced at Ran and Nan at a glance before he joined the other parents. He could see, the faces of his two children were slightly adorned with wounds. Must've been a fight.
"So, the reason I called dad and—"
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Mr. Laskar's words were cut off when someone entered, again.
Mr. Laska smiled at a glance, "it's okay, please sit down."
Pause for a moment, Mr. Laskar continued his words. "So, the reason I called my father here is because the father's son and mother are back together again." heard a sigh from the handsome headmaster. He was tired of seeing his students always making trouble. The same disciple, and called the same guardians to the point that he memorized all the guardians who were now sitting in his room.
All the disciples lowered their heads, as well as the guardians who were massaging his temples dizzy.
"Sorry Mr. Laskar, again our son made a problem that makes you dizzy." one of the foster guardians spoke up. The others are silent. Too ashamed of their son.
"Please be more strict with them. Because yes, you all know if this isn't the first time."
"Sure." said the guardians in unison.
Then, Mr. Laskar gave a letter to all the guardians. Warning letter of course. Whether it's a letter that I know, all guardians forget so often get the sacred letter from the school.
"Skorsing until next week seems like enough to make them reflect on the mistake."
All students are glued.
"Father does not understand, why you who in fact IPA children often do not get rich gini, especially you are members of the same sausage DA, right?"
The IPA children in question are the twins, Dimas, Theo, Joo, Reno, Rendi, Lucky, Malik and Chandra.
"And you, even if you're an IPS kid, that doesn't mean you can do it at will."
This time, those in question were Haris, Fandy, Wijaya, Juno, Dana, Dikta, and Arif.
It's been like a war or a feud between IPA and IPS kids, really.
"Sir, tapik—"
"Nobody told you to talk to Fandy!"
Mr. Saipul— the father of Fandy looked at his son sharply, making the handsome man shrivel.
"If there is nothing to talk about anymore, we excuse Mr. Laskar" said Mr. Saipul, standing from his seat, followed by other children and guardians.
Mr. Laskar also stood up.
After shaking hands with each other, they share a good time with their children.
Ran and Nan walk after Sean. They know, after arriving home, they will be furious.
As with the twins, Rendi just walked after Cahya with her head down. From now on, his father did not speak in the slightest, making Rendi understand, if the father was angry with him.
"Dad—"
Cold untouched, that was Sean's current aura. The man walked firmly through the school hall followed by his two children, making the students who passed by look at the three.
...***...
Ran and Nan lowered their heads, while Sean stared at the two sharply, along with his fingers knocked onto the table.
"What do you want to clear with daddy?"
Taking a breath for a moment, Ran dared himself to answer.
"Dad, we've changed. We won't find trouble if they don't find trouble first."
Sean rubbed his face tired. "Whatever the reason, daddy can't accept." he said, "daddy has been quite proud of you all. After going up to 11th grade, you never made any trouble, but now? You're making daddy disappointed, again."
During the 10th grade, his twin sons often throw tantrums until he is often called to school. Countless were how many calls and warning letters he got. Not counting how many times his two children had been suspended.
But, since the 11th grade, since Silvia was a school with them, the two of them never acted again. There were no school calls, no interruptions at meetings, and no warning letters. But in fact, now they are acting again.
"Can't you, you guys don't? Daddy tuh cape."
As the twins remember, just this time Sean complained like that. Usually, despite their indecision, Sean would only lecture and scold, without complaining in the slightest.
In their minds, they thought, have they gone too far? And yeah, they realize the answer is 'yes'.
They should be more mature. Sean, their father works hard day and night to meet the needs of his children. But what his father could even reply like this from them.
Ran and Nan know, being a single parent is not easy, especially if the child is bengal and sick like the three of them. They should be more grateful to have a strong father like Sean. But...
"Sorry dad."
Sean massaged his temples dizzy. She's mistaken. She should not complain in front of her children. His job as a father is to make a living, right? Ran, Nan and Silvia were his top priorities. After all, this was also his fault. It is his fault that he did not educate children until his two sons became what they are today.
Today, Sean doesn't want to be angry. He was too tired. Tired in the real sense. Therefore, he moved, then just passed to his room, without saying anything more to his two sons.
...***...
Rendi lowered her head, not daring to look at her father's netra. He knew if he was wrong, so he would not dodge or defend anything. He himself is to blame. He will accept any punishment from his father.
While in front of him, Cahya walked leisurely. He hasn't said a word since. Until his heavy voice sounded breaking the silence.
"Ndi?"
Rendi looked up, then stopped stepping as her father also stopped, "yes?"
"Why are you so rich?" ask Cahya.
The only question is silence, he knows if the father knows the cause of his inertia.
"Why should the rich tense try that?" grunts Cahya.
Rendi raised her eyebrows. He was just about to speak up when suddenly Cahya hugged his body, accompanied by a pat on his back.
"Papa's proud of you, son."
Really, Rendi was getting confused. Proud what? Didn't he just do something outrageous?
"I mean papa?"
Cahya let go of her embrace. He smiled looking at his son, making Rendi even more confused.
"Papa... don't get angry...?"
"Anged for what?"
"Make—"
"Why should papa be angry? Children your age are very reasonable if you fight equally. In fact, if you don't do it, your youth is in vain."
At his place, Rendi cengo.
"Stretch... Papa's been called to school a lot because of me."
Cahya chuckles.
"The Trick is natural. You are still in school. Papa give you freedom until you graduate High School. But if you're already in college, you won't be able to tolerate your naughty attitude anymore." afterwards, the father of one child patted his son's shoulder before leaving Rendi who was still not wrinkled in his place.
It's the wrong way to educate a child, but why is Sean affected? Why are Ran and Nan being naughty?
Sean is educating his children well, but why is Cahya good? Why is Rendi the good boy?
