"Maliq belain Bayu with Adi, is that wrong? They are evil." said Maliq.

"Evil, no crime is to be avenged. He was forced to open because of weak Maliq. Know what Maliq's weaknesses are you most worried about?" tanya Edra, who was slapped with Maliq's arm.

"Engga," he answered.

"Maliq has not been able to control his emotions well. Maliq often held back those emotions, but like a time bomb that could explode violently. It can hurt yourself and others. This is the example." replied Edra.

"Maliq, will you still enter the school, even though Maliq gets a high score? Dad's reneging?"

"Dad has a reason for Maliq. Maliq doesn't have to worry about Nana and Bram. They're safe." jawan Edra assured.

"Bad evil... Bad father with Maliq." he shouted and went into the room.

Rubby who had just heard the explanation from Pak Bima, then approached Edra slowly.

"Mas... It doesn't have to be that hard." persuade. Rubee.

"The hard work is for His good, By. At least there he'll learn a valuable lesson in soul control."

"Therefore, Mas wants him to go to the boarding school. I want him to, he didn't take a wrong step. I want to go to the house of the boy he hit earlier. Want to ask for ma'af, and pay for medical expenses. Although we are not wrong, the position remains Maliq who hit them." said Edra, then went by coding bima to go with him.

Rubby left, then went into Maliq's room, after asking Mba to prepare their lunch.

"Mas... Crying?" ask Rubby.

"Pengenya. But shame, Nana will see." replied Maliq, who had changed his clothes.

Rubby hugged her, and Maliq ended up crying in that embrace.

"Snake, no papa. Pretending to be strong when we are weak is painful. Just make that cry, if you're relieved. So wipe her tears. Scared to see Nana, right?" rubby said, patting Maliq on the shoulder.

After a long period of silence, Maliq moved and wiped his tears.

"Have you? Come on, lunch with the others?" take Rubby.

"Maliq, not hungry, ma'am. They go first." said Maliq. Rubby nodded, then left the room.

"Which way, Mom?" ask Nana.

"Mas isn't hungry yet she said, Nana just eat it first."

"Nana wants to eat the same. Her roommate, Ah.." said Nana, bringing a plate full of her food into the Maliq room.

"Mas.." call Nana gently.

"Yes, why the deck?" ask Maliq.

"Suapin." pinta Nana.

Maliq moved again from his sleep. He was tired, but He could never refuse Nana. Therefore, he was heavy when he had to leave Nana at home for a long time.

Leaving behind the sweetness of Maliq and Nana. Their father is now in discussions with the guardian of the student of the boy Maliq just hit. The discussion took place because they were not accompanied by the school, and the family actually wanted to blackmail edra, because they knew of his wealth.

"So, how about Sir? My son was hurt by being thumped by my father's son. Children do not know that upbringing is brutal, how dare people thump. Just kidding the same. Be the son of a rich man, always left for work, so as not to have morals." ridiculed the man.

Edra clenched his hands, and held back his emotions from being ignited. Bima took over the speaker and the discussion.

"The father who bullied my master's son. Maliq who saw his sister was treated badly, just wanted to defend" replied Pak Bima.

"The obvious... Now my son is battered. If I say photos and I post on medsos. The parents, the wrong father, and the name of the father will be polluted. Wanna?" threatened again.

"What do you want?" ask edra slowly.

"Fifty Million, make the treatment. And my son is going to change schools." he replied.

"You're blackmailing us?" bima Pak Bima.

"If you don't want to, then. Just look at the picture I'm going to share. My son is losing two teeth now. That's so bad, if it's not brutal, it won't be like that." he threatened.

"Maliq's hand was not hurt that badly, how could two of his teeth be broken." Edra murmured.

"If you want to spread it, spread it. Next, we meet in court. Shame, equally shameful. Destroyed, equally destroyed. My business is a lot. So I won't lose much. While your child, will no longer be accepted in any school after this." said Edra, then left.
