"Drink, you've talked too much." Arlan thrust a bottle of mineral water that he had already opened the lid. Sania accepted it and spent half of its contents.
Sania. He did not expect to be able to finish this extremely painful story. The past few months, he had been trying to forget all that bitterness. Even by telling stories, he recalled the face of the woman who had given birth to him, whose body was stiffened after drinking the poison.
Sania sat weakly, her body slumped to the floor. At that time he had just returned home from school after more than two weeks did not enter after his father's arrest. He needs time to mourn and fix himself until he has the courage to go back to school.
Who would have thought, the first day he entered school, became the last day he saw his mother. In the morning, her mother still hugged her when she left for school. There was nothing suspicious, nor was there any sign that she was going to end her life.
As soon as she reached the fence, Sania had already seen many people in her house.
"Sania, you're patient, son. Bude was looking for your mother, when he came in, your mother was already lying on the floor" said a neighbor next to his house.
Sania's world was shattered into pieces. He no longer had anyone by his side. With his remaining firmness, he buried his mother. Sania resigned, she also will not return to school again which will certainly be the talk of other children.
However, the owner of the Bhinneka school turns out to be a good friend of his parents. He meets Sania during her mother's burial and offers to give her a scholarship there. The benefactor also gave a monthly to Sania who went straight into the girl's account every month.
Sania thinks after transferring schools, her life can already be arranged again. He assures himself that there is still the light of tomorrow that he can enjoy with his father. Sania will patiently wait for her father to come out of prison.
During her father's detention, Sania has visited three times even though her father has always refused to meet her. Only a letter that his father left to the prison warden.
His father asked not to come to see him, all of it was done for the good of Sania, so that his daughter was not branded as a corrupt child by the community, especially friends Sania.
"Arlan, from tomorrow on, don't come again, don't look for me. Tomorrow, I'll resign."
Arlan was silent again. He got up and immediately paid all their bills. "Come on."
"I'm stupid, why should I say that to Arlan. Not necessarily he'll be looking for me. Very ge-er, anyway!" sania said inwardly, there was a race of shame attacking her again.
Arlan escorts Sania after they surround the city. The two were silent without a word on the motor.
"Still for the treaty. In fact, your money is also still there with me, change when buying bread at that time," explained Sania pulling her lip line. He was nervous and confused, had to just go in or wait for Arlan to leave, because the man was still on the bike, but the engine was turned off.
Wanna stop by? It's already night. Sania feels bad for the neighbors.
"Stop saying stupid things! Remember this word of mine. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and so on you have to go to school. If you try to disappear, I'll look for you all the way to hell though. Ignore all insults of people, raise your head, for you are more precious than them!"
Why Sania wanted to cry. The gust of wind along the road had given him a little relief and seemed to improve even a little, but now?
Why does Arlan have to be that sweet, anyway?
Sania could not bear it, choosing to turn her back on Arlan and let go of her cries. The trembling shoulders had already explained to the man that at this moment Sania needed to let go of her cries.
Arlan was confused too. But a whisper in her heart pushed her down and hugged Sania from behind.
"Don't be afraid, I'm with you."
Oath, of all the words Arlan has ever said, this is the most soothing. The fragile Sania currently needed him the most. Arlan hugged for 10 minutes, letting the girl play with her cries. He waited until Sania was relieved.
"Now you come in, rest. Tomorrow we have to go to school!"
Already several times Arlan did not wear lu-gue anymore when talking to Sania, and the girl felt touched. He just nodded giving a sense of relief to Arlan.

"Gue wants to talk to you!" Arlan's jaw hardened, trying to contain his anger. Shortly after driving Sania home, Agatha called her and asked her to come to the bar where the girl and some of her friends were having a party.
"Darling, have you arrived?" pekik Agatha.
"Dry!" Force Arlan, pull Agatha's hand until almost the woman fell.
"Ar, don't be so rude. What are you gonna say? Kiss me, Babe." Agatha pulled her hand until it stopped in the middle of the room. Without being awkward, even so proud to be witnessed by her friends, the girl poked her hand around Arlan's neck.
"Based on a crazy girl!" Arlan's rude attitude that broke away from Agatha's embrace, did not make the girl give up. He was still trying to attach his body to Arlan.
"Why are you, anyway? Ever since that tacky girl came in, you changed, stay away from me!"
"Gue came here just to warn. Don't you ever bother me again, Sania. Never have! Until I know you're kind of like him, until you cry, you'll regret ever being born in this world!"
Just this time Agatha saw the murderous look in Arlan's eyes. He shuddered in horror. Agatha is frightened, and lets Arlan leave her after a pretty serious threat to her.
"Damn! Why did Arlan get to Sania so well, anyway?" he clenched fist.
***
Early in the morning, Arlan had already come to pick up Sania. He accidentally wakes up again, in order to make sure the girl leaves for school.
Only Arlan knows how one night he's haunted by the anxiety of losing the girl. He himself also did not understand, why he could go even deeper. Sania was injured, she felt the same way.
The bitterness of the girl's life story makes her want to always protect her.
"You're here?" Sania takes a step back when she finds Arlan waiting for her at the end of a small alley towards her home, without contacting her first.
Stepping with his head lowered made the girl unaware of Arlan's whereabouts there.
"Good morning. Thank God, you're still alive" he replied, handing the helmet over to Sania's hand. He observed, a new helmet, there is still a fragrant shop.
"Whose helmet is it? You buy?"
"Udah put on, bacot!"
Again Sania's heart was lulled, Arlan should not have to worry about it that much. "Don't be too good, dong, I'll have a harder time letting you go!"
