Abay was still watching Blinky's mother until the moment they turned.
“Abay class where?”
“Lulus tewus. Ati kliatan's. There saddle.”
Indra laughed when she heard Abay speak.
“Mom-mom was jat.”
“Abay know?”
Abay nodded.
“Anakna pege syama dwengan Abay. But not friends.”
“Not a classmate, that means?”
Abay nodded.
“Mother's pinch Abay!”
Indra stopped walking, he looked at Abay seriously.
“Why?”
“Gak dusk Abay nyendol anakna. Fall off. Blubbering. After returning home, pinch Abay in the shuttle mbil_gak accidentally Abay nudged his son continues to fall. Child crying. Upon returning home, Abay was pinched by the child's mother in the pickup car.”
“Kakak know?”
“Tawu. Tata even te the mother. Tata dimalahin, herein.. Knows. I was angry at that mother. Brother was even scolded while being diginiin.._” Abay shows pointing with an angry face.
“Abay story to Mommy?”
Abay shakes.
“Ati Nda sweated.”
“Abay story to the teacher's mother?”
Abay shakes.
“But the teacher knew Abay incident accidentally nudged his son?”
Abay nodded.
“Tawu.”
“At the time of the incident Abay was pinched and Brother was scolded, Mr Driver is there?”
“There, Om. He looked but not bwani towong. Mom is friday. Owang is rich.” when calling a rich man, Abay whispered while staring at Indra earnestly. It seems to Abay that the rich are evil.
Between the nelangsa and the anxiety, Indra finally stroked Abay's head. He put Abay down. Then take him up the stairs of the playgroup building.
“That's Abay class, Om!” Abay pointed at the blue door with a window full of paper decorations made by children.
“Assalamu’alaikum.. Who was Abay delivered by this morning?” a girl with a wide veil greeted Abay cheerfully.
“Wa-ala-itum shayam, Ustazah. This is Om Inda. Om Inda's good, anteng. Abay and Tata shuuuta Om Inda,” Abay shook Indra's hand and salim at the teacher's mother called Ustadzah.
Indra and Ustadzah looked at each other and laughed at Abay's speech.
“I Ustadzah Irma and the That Ustadzah Siti. We are teachers in the classroom Abay.”
“I Indra, please ma’af yesterday Abay can not follow the learning activities first,” Indra cupped both palms in front of his chest.
“Oh yes. We heard the incident that happened to Ms. Arini and her sister Abay, How are they?” Ustadzah Irma said with a concerned tone.
Ustadzah Siti who was cleaning up the reading book approached the two of them.
“Mother Arini and Brother Alif are still in medical care. Arini's mother suffered bruises to her ribs and neck and other injuries. I'm worried about her brother Abay right now. When I was living, his body had a fever. Kindly do’nya for their healing.”
“Subhanallah.” Ustadzah Irma and Siti said simultaneously, “Syafahallahu for Bundanya Abay and shafahullahu for her sister Abay, Alif.”
“Where is the SD teacher room? I want to provide a hospital affidavit that Alif can not follow for the next few days.”
“SD on the beige building on the right is Mr. Indra. The teacher's room is on the 2nd floor next to the stairs.”
Indra nodded.
Ustadzah Irma and Siti looked at each other with frowns. Trying to remember.
“Ah yes..it happened last week when about to wash hands before lunch,” Utadzah Siti replied then asked back, “What is it Mr Indra?”
“Did the child get hurt?”
“No..” both shook their heads, “Even Abay directly asked ma’af at the time the incident occurred. He helped the boy stand up. Why Sir?”
“Abay was bullied in her pickup car by the child's mother. Even pinched. Alif who was then next to Abay trying to defend Abay instead yelled and scolded.”
“Subhanallah. How to play physically with a child? Though both of them at that time was common again.” Ustadzah Irma looks riled up, “Come Sir. Follow me. This can't be allowed. You talked about this to our principal.”
Indra nodded. He called Abay and squatted down.
“Om Indra stay first yes. Later when he returned home, Abay was picked up by Aunt Husna. Wait for Aunt Husna until Aunt Husna arrives. Don't run around, sorry Aunt Husna is pregnant, there is a baby grandpa in her stomach, so Aunt Husna can't be made tired. Abay understands right?”
Abay nodded. He hugged Indra's neck. Kiss both cheeks.
“Ati in umah syaki there is Owma and Owpa right? Tanen abay.._Later in the hospital there is Oma and Opa right? Abay kangen's.._”
Indra laughed then nodded.
“Insyaa Allah at 9 oma will be in the hospital accompanying Aunt Dinda. Maybe there's Grandma later too. If Opa, most of the afternoon can only come to the hospital. You have to go to the office first.”.
Abay nodded in understanding. Indra kissed both Abay's cheeks and forehead. Abay then salim on Indra. His Ustadzas smiled at the interaction of the two.
“Mari Sir.” Irma's Ustadzah walked ahead.
The Headmaster was in the teacher's room when they came. The teachers suddenly stirred when they saw Indra.
Indra saluted and nodded respectfully to all of them. The bell came in, the teachers came out of the room to guide the students lined up outside the classroom.
Ustadzah Irma recounted the bullying incident received by Abay from one of the parents of a playgroup student.
The Headmaster listened carefully. Sometimes he asked Ustadzah Irma.
“The driver of the invitation car became a witness when the mother of the child pinched Abay and scolded Alif. Abay said, Mr. Driver did not dare to help because he was afraid of the perpetrator. Looks like the perpetrator is used to threatening others with his power.”
“Who is Abay's pickup driver?” the Headmaster asked Ustadzah Irma.
“Pak Adi, Bu.”
“Contact Mr. Adi. Request facing me now.”
Ustadzah Irma nodded. He took his gawai then typed in a chat message.
“There is CCTV overlooking where the car is a regular invitation to park? Maybe we should look at the footage from the CCTV to see the clarity of how it happened,” suggested Indra.
The Headmaster nodded in agreement. He contacted security to see the footage of the incident a week ago in the pickup car park.
Ustadzah Irma begs to return to her class. He left the principal's room along with the arrival of the pickup car driver.
“Yes, it happened like that, Mom. I was surprised, did not expect Abay to be pinched like that even though Abay had many times asked ma’af on the mother.”
Indra gripping handle sofa chair. Tidk thought there was a mother who was as bad as that.
“Why don't you help Abay and Alif?” indra's voice sounded cold.
