Daisy's first-class friends, take a different class with her. So, he doesn't have to look for other people to each other's homes as much as Maya does. Daisy just needs to go to college and come to her class.
By the time he reached the hall, the people had already finished the course and were noisily planning a lunch where. However, when he reached the classroom door, the noisy atmosphere suddenly became silent. All eyes looked at him in an unpleasant way.
It's mundane. Everything Daisy has ever experienced. Like when his mother died and so many skewed issues hit his family. Everyone looked at Daisy almost as she is now.
“Lola, can we talk to you for a minute?” ask Daisy. He smiled, as if there were no problems with himself and everyone.
Lola shakes her head in disbelief and then goes back to chatting with the friend in front of her, they laugh to think Daisy is not there.
So Daisy came closer, went inside. Several other students stood up, including Brian. They act alert as if Daisy is a dangerous enemy.
“If you do anything bad to me! It won't be finished with just an apology. I'm here with good intentions!” Daisy is not afraid.
The class champ took a distance, not trying to get closer. The girls who were chatting stopped and stood up, their attitudes threatening. It was as if an animal was ready to pounce.
“Lola, can we talk to you for a minute?” ask Daisy back.
“What do you want to talk to me about, ah? You want to scold me like maya, slap me? Listen yes Daisy ...”
“I'm sorry!” daisy's word cut the length of Lola's complaint. It should stop here, not much longer.
Lola was silent, looking surprised by Daisy's words. I didn't know or really didn't expect that to happen. Daisy's friend chipped and turned to her interlocutor first.
“You're kidding? After everything you want to joke like this?” lola asked with widening her eyes.
“I don't remember at all, there was so much pressure Lola,” Daisy said. The reason was the same as what Maya had said.
“Can't remember? You have a disorder? Or multiple personalities?” lola said mockingly.
Not a disorder or multiple personality, but his soul and Daisy's soul swapped places.
“I'm sorry. I'm not asking you to get back to me. I'm just saying that I'm sorry for what happened,” Daisy said.
He then retreated and turned away after saying that.
“You think you can just leave? Oh my God, this bad lady! How can you think everything is easy?” said Lola.
Suddenly he pulls Daisy's hand, making the girl stop with a frown.
“What?” daisy did not understand. It seems like there is nothing they should talk about anymore. “Don't I apologize? Moreover?” ask Daisy.
“You think your apology can just make our heartache disappear? You're sane?” Lola widened her eyes to look scary. However, Daisy has gone through something more frightening than this. He's been through a lot of scary things.
Daisy grunts. “So?”
A slap floated up Daisy's cheek. It was painful and hot, but Daisy was not flinching at all. He had felt something more painful than mere vengeance and shame.
Lola backwards. Daisy doesn't know why. He just stared fixedly at Lola's pupil, and smiled. When no one said anything else to her, she turned around and then walked out of the classroom door.

Handoko glanced at the parking lot, hoping to find her daughter there. However, as he recalled Stefani was not in the same faculty as Daisy, so it was impossible if Handoko could find her daughter here.
From a distance, the steps that lead everyone to the terrace of the faculty building, Daisy, the lady whom Handoko serves are seen. His footsteps were faster than he was about to climb earlier, looking hurried and unawares. Several times Handoko saw that the girl who was the age of her daughter almost fell.
After getting closer, Handoko could see the girl's eyes drooling. He did not accidentally almost fall many times, but his vision blurred with tears. His cheeks were also red, forming the shape of a palm.
“No-na?”
Daisy stopped a few steps in front of Handoko, raised her head, and smiled. “We're home now, Sir!” said.
Although her voice trembled, the girl did not want to show how sad or how she felt right now. As soon as he finished answering Handoko's question, he circled the car and then got inside. There was no overflow of emotions other than that the girl could not control on her face.
Handoko gets in the car, starts the engine and then drives out of the parking lot. Daisy did not speak a word at all until they joined the main street. It was also because Handoko was harassing him.
“Nona ... You really okay?” asked the old man worriedly.
Daisy Stefani's age. He should cry when he is sick and scream when he is angry. His life is even better than Handoko's daughter, inexplicably Daisy looks so mature like someone who lives with stress throughout his life.
“Yes, Sir, I'm good! It's nothing!” the answer.
The vibrations in Daisy's voice are still there. Also a puddle of tears that occasionally flicked with index finger to get the object out of there. In fact, Daisy probably expected her tear glands to dry up in a moment.
“But, you don't look so.” Handoko.
He couldn't see a child his daughter's age who should still be leaning so hard.
“It will pass, sir, I can live it all this time. So, it's okay. They will come again when need me!”
Handoko's chest felt stabbed, torn, then thrown. Word “When Needs” dawns on him how heavy the life of a 20-year-old girl is next to him. He was used to being thrown away and then pulled back. He is usually hurt, then does not refuse to be persuaded.
Handoko said nothing more. He drove off calmly, telling in his own heart that Daisy would definitely be able to lean on her papap at home.
The security guard opened the automatic gate again when Daisy's car was in front of the gate. They even reached for the car until they came in and said hello to Daisy.
Just as Handoko was stunned at the scar seen on Daisy's cheek, the security guard was too. They were stunned for a moment, wondering inwardly and spooning each other before finally smiling at their little master.
“You should compress it later, Miss.”
From the rear-view mirror, Handoko can see Daisy's tears dripping down. He did the same thing as everyone else. Didn't anyone say that inside the mansion to Daisy before? It can't be like that, right?
