Beatrice's cold attitude,

A few days later,

After returning from Angkringan owned by Jambul, Dirga became upset. In a way, the advice the man gave penetrated into his mind. It is not wrong if Mas Jambul said that Dirga could better measure his condition.

Until the morning, Dirga had to rush to the market to help the mother. As usual, the twenty-five-year-old returned to work with vegetables. He also had to face the obsolescence of hebring mothers who often tease him. However, Dirga was not disturbed at all. He sees it as entertainment.

At around eight o'clock, Dirga ended its activity in the market. He had intended to go home, because at nine o'clock he had to go to the cafe. However, Beatrice's lover did not go home immediately. He stopped by the shop in front of the alley to his house.

Ida Mpok Shop. A grocery store run by a mother named Rosidah, but often called Ida. Rosidah is a kind and friendly woman, although she is among the rich in the area.

"Ga, please turn on Mary's room light. It's been two nights she's been dark in her room, eight" Ida said when Dirga came there.

"I'll see, Mpok. If it does not take much time, I immediately work. However, if the damage is somewhat severe, I postpone until later home from the cafe," replied Dirga.

"Yes, nothing. It's up to you, Ga. Make Mpok the important thing to do. Kasian the Mary if you want to do the task must go out of the room," said Rosidah. Mary is the name of her daughter who has entered third grade High School. The girl's full name is Maryati. She was also a kind and friendly girl, just like her mother.

"Hi, Bang," said Maryati warmly.

"Hi, Mar. Not school?" dirga Reply.

"Ngga, Bang. Yesterday's permission was two days. I was even three days, it was also a fight with my mother" replied the long-haired girl. He then approached Dirga who was checking the electrical connections in his room. "Who was that yesterday? Brother's girlfriend, huh?" maryati asked again half-tempting.

"Yes, that's it. What's the matter, Mar?" Back to asking.

"Ngga anything. I just feel like I've seen him, but where are you?" Maryati seemed to think and pretend to remember.

Dirga who was focusing on his work, stopped for a moment and then turned to Maryati. "Where, Mar?" tanyanya.

"Where is it? Forgot me, Bang. That's why I remember it first" answered Maryati. Not long after, the girl opened the phone and then seemed to reply to a message that entered her. "Oh, yes, now I remember. I saw her yesterday at the bookstore," said Maryati, sounding so certain.

"Oh, yes. He does love to read, so it's only natural that you see him in a bookstore" Dirga said calmly. He refocused on his work.

"Yes, yesterday he was there with my classmate Bang" said Maryati again, making Dirga again stop his work. He turned his attention to the teenage girl next to him.

"Who, Mar?" tanyakanya.

"Friends Deket I'm Hanna. Hanna has a big brother, her name is Reyhan. Reyhan's sister, in addition to cute she is also very good, Bang," explained Maryati made Dirga really stop her work.

Meanwhile, silence was felt within Soraya's luxurious dining room. For three days, the rich widow had breakfast accompanied by a sense of loneliness and for three days she did not see her daughter's nose.

"Why never have breakfast? Is he sick?" murmured Soraya after finishing breakfast.

Not until one minute, the housekeeper who worked since the first time Soraya occupied this house also came to the madam. The middle-aged woman stood by the dining table while showing a sweet smile to Soraya.

"Is Bea sick?" ask Soraya without further ado.

"No, Mistress. Miss Bea is as healthy as ever," replied the owner of Munaroh's full name.

"Did he not eat for three days?" search Soraya while looking at the middle-aged woman.

"Non Bea always eats on time, ma'am. But for three days it was non Bea breakfast after the Madam left for work," Munaroh explained to Soraya.

"All right, thank you. Then please go back to the kitchen," Soraya said without staring at the ART.

Soraya was suddenly confused when she saw Beatrice's attitude lately. He began to guess what made the princess just change. Soraya began to recall the last time she spoke to Beatrice.

"Is it possible Bea kept her distance from me after the night?" soraya muttered after remembering the night where she met Dirga in the courtyard of the house.

Without waiting any longer, the brunette immediately moved out of place. This time he had to make sure straight to find out the cause of his daughter keeping her distance. One by one the steps were passed until they reached Beatrice's room. Without knocking on the door, he opened the white door wide.

"Look!" soraya said when she saw the figure she was looking for was busy reading a book while sitting leaning on the bed.

While the owner of the name just turned his head for a while and after that focus back to the book on his lap. He doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone right now.

"What's wrong?" ask Soraya at the core.

Beatrice shook her head slowly while looking at Soraya for only a few seconds and after that she focused back on the book that had just been read. Beatrice's attitude looks cold to make Soraya even more astonished.

"Are you sick?" Soraya confirmed the sudden strange condition of her daughter.

"No." That was the only answer that escaped Beatrice's lips.

Soraya could only sigh after hearing the short, dense and clear answer from her daughter. The attitude Beatrice showed was like an unbreakable chunk of ice. If it's like this, talking is free.

"Do you have a problem with Mama, Be?" Soraya was still curious about the cause of Beatrice's change in attitude.

"I don't want to be disturbed" Beatrice said without taking her eyes off the open book. Either he actually read or the book was only used for protection so there was no need to look into the eyes of the mother.

The pain was certainly felt by Soraya at this moment. The attitude Beatrice showed managed to injure her heart. A mother will definitely feel the same way when her child behaves that way. Disappointed and hurt. Without saying a word, Soraya finally left the room with a huge disappointment.

Brak! The sound of the room door closing came back loudly after Soraya left. Beatrice could only sigh after her mother's departure.
