The Part 110
A month since Irwan's departure, Novia has struggled on her own to support herself and her three children. The woman no longer knew where her husband was.
Novia's car is only parked in the garage, he also does not want to find a replacement driver because he does not really understand about the engine or any form that concerns the car.
At night, Novia wakes up from her sleep. His eyes could not be closed just looking at the ceiling of his room. Sometimes he glanced at his three sleeping children.
"I'm sorry, son, I didn't mean to hurt you. But, there is a price to be paid for a lie" Novia murmured softly
Camillah wriggled and opened her eyes, the little girl lifted her head from the pillow and looked at her mother.
"Well, hug Millah" said Camillah slowly
It seemed like Novia's eldest son was harboring a very deep pain. But he chose to keep it to himself.
Without Novia knowing, the girl was getting bad treatment from her friends at school as well as neighbors around their house who always asked where your father was
"Novia moved next to Camillah and hugged her little girl, she stroked her son's hair gently.
"Sleep, mama has hugged you" said Novia shrieked in Camillah's ear as she tightened her arms
A moment later, Novia felt Camillah's body tremble in her arms, Novia's eldest son sobbing silently without a sound. A very tight cry chest.
"Mil, are you crying son?"
Novia breaks her arms and wakes up and turns Camillah's body to face her, so she can see clearly her son's face.
"Mil, tell me what mom made you cry?" ask Novia
Camillah was still sobbing, she was afraid to tell her mother the cause of her crying so sad.
"Mil, same story mommy son. Mama won't be mad at you, just curious" Novia said
Camillah finally wanted to tell the truth, with a stifled sob she began to speak in a hoarse voice stirring everything she experienced to her mother.
"Well, Millah's friends at school are sober, he said papa is gone and won't be back. They also said that papa would marry again."
Novia's body immediately shook at the complaint of her son, the woman clenched her hands firmly restraining emotions.
"Our neighbors also always ask Camilah if passing by. He said, Millah where's your papa? You got kicked out of your mama, huh?"
Novia's anger grows, their actions are inexcusable and Novia is determined to teach them a valuable lesson. However, as much as possible he kept his attitude in front of Camillah.
"This can't be allowed, they're so outrageous because they've made my son sad and shaken. Just watch out tomorrow, I'll meet them!" inner Novia growled
Early in the morning Novia had left for school with her three children, they were only on foot and fortunately the distance of school and home was not so far away.
Novia's main goal this morning was to find the perpetrator of the bullying of her child.
"Come on, Millah show mama which child mocked you!"
Today Novia was utterly wrathful, with her steps approaching the child whom Camillah had appointed.
"You guys who have mocked my son huh!? Jerky Novia
The woman had already lost control, she pulled the child rough and was about to slap him. However, Putra immediately ran over and intercepted Novia's hand.
"Let go!! I'm gonna beat them all up!" shouted Novia loudly
"Vi, relax! control yourself" said the Son, who still holds Novia's hand
"You can insult me any way you want. But, don't try to tease my children!!" point Novia at some children who are already trembling in fear
The small commotion could not be spared, the sound of Novia's screams could be heard all the way to Mr. Rizal's room.
"Mrs Diana, look what's going on outside" said Mr. Rizal.
Diana got up and stepped towards the door, the woman just looked from a distance without intending to look directly at it.
Diana turned her head and said, "there's a madman raging sir."
Mr. Rizal knitted his eyebrows together, still not understanding what Diana said. Then he decided to see for himself.
How shocked Mr. Rizal, seeing some children who became victims of Novia's rampage. There was also the Son who still held Novia's hand.
"What's this about? Son can explain to me what happened?" ask Mr. Rizal who is already near Novia.
Novia was unmoved, glaring sharp eyes with a flushed face staring furiously at the children in front of her.
"I also do not know what happened, ' replied the Son
"We'd better finish it inside. Come on, Novia's mom come with me!" said Mr. Rizal with a firm tone.
"Son, take the kids with you."
Mr. Rizal turned around then stepped back into the teacher's room.
"Kids, come with the headmaster now!" son's Decree.
The son relaxed his hands, then looked at his friend with a sad face.
"Vi, what's going on, how come you're this angry?" ask Putra.
Novia was silent, her anger began to subside and then looked down at the faces of her three children who were hugging in fear.
"Look at your kids, they're scared of Vi. Don't you feel sorry for them?"
"Don't show your wrath in front of them, it will make your children even more traumatized" continued the Son.
A clear thread plunged freely into Novia's cheek, the woman as if awakened from her nightmare.
As a mother, Novia's soul is deeply shaken when she learns that the child she gave birth to is receiving ridicule from others.
Slowly Novia stepped closer to her three children, then quickly hugged them until the cries of the mother and child broke
The son stood, for a moment he forgot Mr. Rizal's message to invite Novia to face the teacher's room. The man let Novia calm herself down first.
After believing Novia had begun to calm down, Putra invited Novia to the teacher's room according to her superior's message
"Come, Vi. Mr. Rizal is waiting in his room we're there now."
Novia nodded, obeying the invitation of her best friend while guiding her three children who still looked shocked.
Arriving at Mr. Rizal's room, Novia pulled an empty chair in front of her and sat down. There were already children mocking Camillah.
"Mother Novia, please explain to me the chronology of the incident" Rizal said without further ado
Novia let out a long sigh, then the woman began to explain the problems that occurred to make her angry.
"They mocked my son sir, as a mother. I have an obligation to protect my son from anything, including from them" Novia pointed to the children.
"I am willing to accept any risk, as long as no one ever harasses my son sir," continued Novia
Mr. Rizal was speechless and dumbstruck, every mother would do the same thing if anyone hurt her child including Novia.
Nothing can beat a mother's affection, her prayers can pierce the sky, her tears can become a tsunami that will swallow, and her murkans will shake the earth. Such is the sacrifice of a selfless mother
