GROWINGS

A shocking scene occurred at the Ellite Rovario SMK. It's not just the workers who seem to be passing by in every corner of the school. But also heavy and large vehicles that go in and out of the school yard, while lowering the building materials.

The students and teachers were shocked. Especially when they wanted to enter their own school, they had to pass through the school gate which was heavily guarded by four large tall men.

"What is this really about, Miss Nuriyanti?" Ask Ms. Fatma.

"Who are those people? What are they really doing?"

Ms. Nuriyanti locked her mouth tightly. He doesn't even know what's going on at his school.

Not long after Inu arrived. But it seems like something is wrong with Inu and Dafa this morning.

"Wait for Dafa, I haven't finished talking!" Inu even nearly dropped his expensive sports bike to hold Dafa's hand.

"Please!!" Dafa shouted with glaring eyes.

Inu doesn't seem to be playing games either. He strengthened his grip on Dafa's arm.

"If Mr. Inu doesn't like it, please get out of this school!"

Inu jerking instead of playing. Especially with such Dafa expressions.

"Becch..." Ms. Nuriyanti held her shoulder from behind.

Dafa. He looked at his friends and other teachers.

"WHOEVER DOESN'T LIKE IT, PLEASE GET OUT OF THIS SCHOOL!!"

"Back.." Eka who is usually always cheerful also looks different when seeing Dafa expressions.

"THIS IS MY SCHOOL! I WON'T LET ANYONE DO ANYTHING FOR THIS SCHOOL!!"

"Dafa, we will all always support you. It's just --"

Dafa shook Inu's hand. He showed a look of disgust at his homeroom.

"It's good that Ms. Nuriyanti understands." cut her down firmly. "Sir Bambang..!!" Dafa called out to a man with a yellow helmet and boots.

"What's up, Dafa?"

"Close the school gate. And never anyone other than the students and teachers at this school - - go inside!"

"Back.." Inu was almost at a loss for words.

"Although they insist, never let Mr. Bambang let them in! If you need to drive it out the rough way!"

"Dafa!!"

"DON'T EVER YELL AT ME!!" The voice of Dafa shrieked. His eyes glared at Inu. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO FORBID ME!!"

"Da -"

"Sir Inu.." Ms. Fatma grabbed the arm of her partner. Then he took her away from Dafa. "Let him do anything first.."

"GO YOU DEVIL..!!"

Ms. Fatma and Inu looked back. The two found Dafa throwing stones at Kinno and his friends who were watching him from the other side.

"Sir Bambang!"

"I, Mas..."

"I don't want to know, anyway today - Mr. Bambang must build again this barrier! If you need to get high. So I can't see the faces of those assholes!"

Anyone who saw Dafa change that morning, it seems, will not believe it. The figure that usually always smiles warmly at anyone found, suddenly disappeared like lost in the earth.

His tone now sounded firm, straightforward, and poignant. Likewise with the look of his face that now looks very cold and unfriendly.

The first and second hours of study have passed. The break was over 10 minutes ago. And Dafa did not seem to spend the rest with his friends.

He was even seen sitting alone in the school park. And when one of his friends came to him, he would immediately go away without saying anything.

This third lesson was filled by Ms. Fatma. Every student seemed so enthusiastic, when Ms. Fatma said that there would be a surprise in every hour of cooking practice later.

But at such a time, something suddenly happened. Something that is certainly very electrifying, to make the whole class throw his gaze out of the classroom, and the teachers who are teaching also until out of class.

Unlike his other friends, who seemed so curious about who was honking his car horn while shouting - Dafa looked very calm. He kept a record of all the material that had just been described by Ms. Fatma.

Bu Nuriyanti and Pak Inu came in a hurry.

"So that's Dafa's bundle?!" Ms. Fatma was shocked.

"Then let me persuade him.." Inu.

The man with the haircut was split aside and somewhat drizzly, approaching Dafa with a nervous feeling.

"Dafa - -"

"He's not my mother!" Dafa without looking. And of course his statement made his friends and teachers stunned. "I don't have any embarrassing parents like him!"

"Back.." Ms. Nuriyanti also intervened. The cold, trembling hands of Dafa. "Do Dafa know, how do you struggle while you are pregnant with Dafa? Then the process of giving birth to Dafa into this world - and -" Bu Nuriyanti's tears flowed slowly. "How has your mother struggled all this time, in caring for and raising you?"

Dafa blinked. His expression was very flat. "I never asked for it."

The...!!

"I never asked my mother to bring me into this world. So don't blame me."

"Becch..." Ms. Nuriyanti strengthened her hand. "But Dafa baby, right, mother?"

Dafa shook his head with his flat and innocent face.

"I don't like liars the most. And I'll never see him until I die.."

'OPEN THE DOOR...!! I AM THE MOTHER OF DAFA!!! LET ME PASS BY AND MEET MY SON...!!'

Dafa pulled his hand. Closing his textbook with a lethargic look.

"Back.."

"If you want, I can accompany you.." Said Inu slowly.

Dafa looked at the teacher and his friends. "My family's here just you guys.." He said in a shaky voice.

"Back.."

"But--if you don't want me here, I can go..."

"Becch..." Sheila spoke even though she was no stronger than her teachers. "Whatever and however - the woman who is now in front of the gate and forced to enter it, is your bundle.." Sheila took a deep breath. "And we're all here, promising to keep protecting you.."

"You lied.."

Sheila was stunned not to play when Dafa answered her briefly, straightforwardly and without expression.

IINNNN...!! IT...!!

All eyes turned outward. The voice just now was so loud and shocking.

"Bu Nuriyanti!! Miss Anindita crashed her car into the gate!!" Shouted a teacher from the door.

Dafa stood up while covering his ears. Then he went into an old closet in the back corner of his class.

"I don't want to go home! I want to go with my dad, Sam... I don't want to go home...!!! ARRGGGHHH....!!!"

The classroom atmosphere became increasingly quiet and tense. Especially when Dafa had just shouted, from inside the closet very loudly.

Geck.. Geck..

"Becch..."

"I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME...!! I DON'T WANT A PULANGGG....!!!"

Ms. Nuriyanti was really confused. He and his colleagues did not know what else to do to persuade the student to come out of the closet.

"WHISPERS...!! DON'T BOTHER ME...!!"

Dafa shouted again. None of his friends or teachers spoke.

Minutes change. Anindita is still trying hard to break into the Ellite Rovario SMK page.

While Dafa still continues to mumble indistinctly from inside the closet.

Geck.. Geck..

Dafa's ears are moving. His eyeballs rolled irregularly.

"There are two rabbit cubs crossing the river ~~ hap ~~ hap ~~ jump merrily with his agility..."

Kreeiikk...

The closet door was open. Dafa appeared with tears.

"Sister Sam..."

Sam smiled at the smile. "Hi my little brother.." Sam said as he held Dafa's head.

"Hiks--- Sam still remember that song?"

Sam nodded. "How can I forget, the song we both made at that time, Dafa.."

Dafa's smile is back. "I still have his writing at home, Brother Sam.."

"Oh yeah..? How about we take it together?"

Dafa shook his head. "I don't want to go home again. You see, later I-" Dafa suddenly silently stared. He kept silent even though Sam kept calling and shaking his body.

"Betc..!"

Dafa also realized. But he even brushed Sam's hand violently. And without saying anything, he dropped out of his class. Heading towards the front gate of his school.

Tiiinn....!!

"LET ME IN OR I'LL CALL THE COPS LET YOU ALL ROT IN JAIL!!"

Meanwhile Anggita Suryatama, Ardiansyah and Trinity, seemed to notice him with a mysterious gaze from a distance of several meters.

About ten minutes ago, Sam climbed up the fence. He was determined to do so because he knew his sister was locked in a narrow and hollow closet.

Sreekk..!

A sheet of zinc shifted to make the gap not how big. And that was where the figure of Dafa appeared with his flat facial expression.

"Becch..." Anindita seemed surprised by the figure that appeared in the gap before her. He was silent for a moment, before his emotions finally peaked. "Dafa, open the door, baby...! Mother can yes, come in..."

Dafa did not respond to it at all. He remained silent like a perfectly sculpted statue.

"Mother will explain everything, baby. Mother in..."

Not a few of his friends and teachers were watching Dafa from behind him.

"Open up, baby..."

Mr. Bambang and his men then turned to Dafa. They like to ask for certainty whether Anindita will be allowed to enter or not.

Anindita got into her car. Then he returned with his son's favorite dolphin doll, and also a box of expensive chocolate that he bought while visiting his boutique in Orchad Singapore.

"Look baby, what you brought.. Chocolate---you would have said that you like this chocolate..."

Dafa's eyeballs rolled on the chocolate box. For some reason at this time, he was nauseous and not excited about his favorite food.

"Mother has also bought a lot of ice cream at home. We will eat together --"

"Go..." Dafa cuts. Makes Anindita stop her sentence.

"Dafa, Mother --"

"GO ON I SAID...!!" That shout of Dafa really jolted everyone nearby.

"Back.."

"Why else did you come to this school...?"

"Becch..."

Dafa looked at his watch. "My time is not much. Quickly tell me, what is your intention and purpose in coming to my school?"

"Wafa...!!" Anindita's eyes are round. Along with his raised voice.

"If your goal is just to mess up and make a fuss, then don't blame me if they're going to throw you out very rudely..!"

"Becch..."

"Don't hold me!!" Dafa snapped at Sam. Made the white man retreat.

"Mother doesn't want to make a fuss, baby. Mommy just wants to take you home.."

"Go home to you?" Dafa laughed cynically. "Are you going to lock me up again and make a whole bunch of more lies, huh?!"

"Dafa, Mother never lies to you! What you've been doing all this time is just to protect you!"

Dafa glanced again at his watch. "I have 3 minutes left.."

"Dafa, open the door or Mother will force her way in!!"

Dafa was silent again. His eyes moved here and there. His expression showed a saturation and despair.

"You must realize Dafa, that you have been used by them all this time!! You were just made into a puppet by those cunning people!!"

Dafa is back. He took a stone, and threw it at the zinc in front of him.

"NEVER INSULT MY FRIENDS AND TEACHERS!!"

Anindita shock not play. Because a little misses, of course the stone will hit his head.

"NOW THEY ARE MY FAMILY!! AND THEY'RE ALL I HAVE!!"

"Dafa, Mother..."

"YOU'RE NOT MY PARENTS!!! GOIII..!!"

The breath of Dafa panted. Unknowingly her tears had flowed down her reddish cheeks.

"I don't have anyone else - hix.."

"Da --"

"Annindus.." Danu held his wife's hand. "Differentiate your emotions. Look how depressed he is.."

"During this -- hicks -- I -- hicks - can only make Mother troubled..."

Anindita shakes. "No, Dafa. You've never made Mother any trouble at all..."

"I'm just a weak and whiny kid who can't do anything..."

"Becch..." Anindita clutched tightly onto the iron pillar of the school gate. "You are Mother's greatest child..!" And Anindita could not hold back her tears anymore.

"I don't know anything -- I'm stupid -- I'm weird -- and I -" Dafa then fell silent. Then she wiped her tears. Getting closer to Anindita. "Mother--" Dafa throws a smile.

"Becch..."

"I'm sorry, if I've been too selfish all this time."

"Becch..."

"I know that all this time must have been Mother lonely right? And that's why Mother married Om Danu.."

"Becch..."

"Congratulations, Mother. May Mother, Om Danu, and Kinno be happy forever.."

"Becch..."

"Oh yes Mother, Mother would have said that I am just a stupid child, weak, crybaby, can not do anything, can not do anything, and troublesome---- how about starting this second--Mom forget about me for good..."

Anindita. Same with her ex-husband and father-in-law.

"Well, I was never born into this world. Or--just assume I've died with my father and brother Sam and Mas Rafa in the accident.."

"Dafa, Mother..."

"I know, if all this time I can only make Mommy embarrassed, right? My mother kept me locked up in the house. I'm just a disgrace to Mother.."

"Becch..."

Dafa took a short breath. "Om Danu, please take care of Mother. And Mother, congratulations because now Kinno is already a child Mother.." Dafa fixed his gaze on Kinno who was standing in silence. "Mother must be happy and happy, because Kinno is great, smart and not weak like me. Isn't that right, Kinno? Hiya..."

"Dafa, Mother..." Anindita fell limp.

"Yes, because I want to learn now. May Mother-Om Danu-and Kinno be happy always. And one more thing, please forget me forever..."

Dafa turned around with a smile adorning his innocent face.

His friends, Sam, and teachers watched him with mixed feelings.

"Sir Inu..." Dafa now stopped right in front of Inu. "May I ask for one thing with Mr Inu?"

Inu gulped. I don't know why he's so nervous and not so nervous.

"Sir Inu won't be my foster father?"

Inu jerks. His face was stiffening not playing.

"For in my opinion, only Mr. Inu can replace the position of father. Not Danu or anyone else..."

"Becch..." Inu's voice was barely audible.

"I promise to obey all orders Mr. Inu. I also promise to always be diligent in learning, so that my values are good. And also later I will work hard, so I can have a lot of money and we can buy a new house..."

Inu feels amazing. His eyes are also getting hot and red.

"I'm fine every day should eat indomie and stay in the narrow boarding Pak Inu.."

A tear fell from the corner of his eye.

"I saved this school. I've won many trophies and charters. And I've made this school known everywhere.

Mr. Inu wants to be my stepfather. I beg..."

"Dafa, I.."

Dafa's expression turned moody again.

"Why Mr Inu? Mr Inu won't, will he? Is Mr Inu ashamed of me too? Because I'm weird and whiny?"

"Sir Inu..." Ms. Nuriyanti spoke softly from behind.

"Sa-yeah..."

Dafa took a short breath. "Alright if Mr. Inu does not want to. I won't force it either."

"Becch..." Inu reflex grabbed that thin and pale hand. "I..."

Dafa held the hand of his homeroom teacher. Then get rid of it slowly.

"Give me a little more time, Mr. Inu. Later, if my money is enough, I will go far away. So Mr. Inu can live quietly again without me who always bothers this..."

"Becch..."

From that corner of the front canteen, the old granny stood watching with a deep look of sadness. He tapped his wand once.

"This is what I'm afraid of. They can't keep the promises they made themselves...

No matter how small of a wound they have inflicted, it will not be able to treat it..."
