"One bribe yes, Den.." Mbok Parni continued to try to put a spoon of rice porridge into the mouth of his master's son.

"No!" Dafa glared. He shook off Mbok Parni's hand, until the bowl fell, and the contents scattered the carpet in his room.

Patiently Mbok Parni cleaned it up. For him, it is okay if you have to clean the carpet in this room, as many as tens or even hundreds of times.

Instead of having to look at Dafa until it gets sick, because it does not want to eat one bit.

"Becch..."

Dafa took a quick glance. Then he refocused his attention on the ceiling of his room.

"See what Om brought this..."

Dafa glanced again. Her face changed a little. But he remained in his position. It would not be easy to be persuaded by the seduction from that man!

"There's chocolate-vanilla ice cream-and a set of brushes and watercolors..."

"That's enough, Danu!" In and out Anindita direct emotion. "Let the child be unruly, sick!"

"Anindita, please..."

Anindita sighed. "I've obeyed what he wanted. But the boy was talking, Mas!"

"I don't want to eat! I want to change schools!"

"Listen to yourself, right?!! The longer the boy's request gets the strangest!"

"Duck you!!"

"You're getting brave with Mother, huh!?"

"Modo..!" Dafa tilted his body. Back to the bunda and Danu.

Although he was currently feeling hungry once, but he had to continue to hold it. It's better that he get sick and go to the hospital, than to go back to that school again.

Cklek..

"Becch..."

Hearing Danu's voice that was alone, she immediately got up and turned around. Spreading his gaze, making sure that the annoying woman he called 'mother' was no longer in his room.

Danu felt very sorry when she saw Dafa's pale face, as well as her thin and weak body.

"Sorry Kinno yes.."

Dafa shook his head. "I can't forgive him, Om Danu. Kinno was so bad to me."

Danu sighed. He could understand what Dafa was going through. Perhaps, if he were in the same position as Dafa, he would not be that easy to forgive Kinno.

"But I'm not angry with Om Danu.."

"Really?" Danu's eyes are rounded.

Dafa nodded enthusiastically. "Om Danu is a good man..."

"Then Dafa eats first.."

Dafa shook his head. "I eat ice cream just like chocolate, yeah..."

"May, but you have to eat rice first.."

Dafa's face turned sullen again. "If so, I'd like to change schools, then.."

"Can you, Om Danu?!!"

Danu nodded while holding Dafa's head. "Well, Dafa wants to move to which school, hmmm...?"

"To SMK Ellite Rovario dong, Om..!"

Danu was a little surprised to hear that. He knew because it was only a matter of months or even weeks away that the school would be level with the ground forever.

"I want to eat, I can change schools, Om.."

Danu finally nodded. "Tomorrow Om will talk to Mother. Okay!?"

Dafa immediately stood up and jumped up and down on his bed. If two days yesterday was the worst day for him, because he had to launch a hunger strike and talk. But on this day, all of his ridiculous efforts finally came to fruition as well.

"Yeee - I'm transferring schools..!! Hooray...!! Wait for me, guys...!!"

Danu had just gotten out of her car, and was about to take an elevator from the basement that would take her up to the 15th floor where her study was located. But the phone rings. Mbok Parni gave a very unexpected bad news.

With a quick step he returned to his car. Contacting his private secretary to cancel all meetings today and reschedule them.

During the trip to the hospital, he kept trying to contact Anindita. But his efforts were in vain. Because Anindita did not answer her call at all.

When she arrived at the hospital, she immediately asked the nurse, who was treated by a patient named Dafa Ardiansyah who had just entered this morning.

Danu's own thoughts became incoherent. Last night, he and Dafa had just spent time together eating ice cream while watching a dolphin video that had been played thousands of times by Dafa.

"Annindus.."

The medium-bodied woman immediately hugged Danu with tears in her eyes.

"What happened to him?"

"I also don't know, Mas---- This morning-Mbok Parni found Dafa had fainted on his alphabet..."

Danu approached Dafa's body lying unconscious. The boy's face was so pale. Even his heartbeat was weak and tended to be unstable.

"This is the third time, Mommy..."

"Third time?" Danu. "What do you mean, Anindita?"

Anindita wiped her tears. He sat down next to his son, holding his hand.

"Dafa has also experienced something like this before. And he just woke up a month later.."

"Why did you just tell me?!!"

"I'm confused too, Mom. Because the doctor doesn't know what the exact cause is.." Anindita can't control her emotions. "Nobody knows for sure what the disease is.."

"We'll take it to Singapore! I'm sure the doctor there knows the cause...!"

Anindita shook her head weakly. "There's only one way to wake her up, ma'am.."

"What is it, Anindita...?"

"No!! I wouldn't have done it.." Anindita replied firmly. "If he wants to play games with me, then I'll play with him too..."
