The Tale Of Daniella
Chapter 11's

At the moment, Daniella who had been clean and fragrant after bathing stared blankly out the window of Alin's house with Alin sitting beside her.

"Bi Alin, when do I have a long-lasting friend? I thought Tasya could be a big brother and a good friend to me apparently not." the story goes. Daniella is heartbroken by Tasya's betrayal. The person he thought was kind and like a hero to him turned out to betray him and hurt him more than anything else.

It turns out once again it is true that people who are close and familiar with us are actually people who have great potential to betray us. Daniella confirms that fact now.

"It's just at school, right? If there's an aunt at home."

"But Daniella felt bad about talking to her aunt about Daniella's problems at school."

Alin said nothing. He was silent like a statue.

"Too many problems Daniella in school," he told me again.

"Auntie also does not like you being followed by them. What if you change schools?"

Daniella surprise. It turned out that Aunt Alin had the same thoughts as her at the moment.

"Free bi. Just run away from trouble. They're people who have money and power, students like Daniella will still be bullied and targeted even though they're in a new school."

Alin frowned, not believing what Daniella said just now.

"You know where it came from? Don't tell me that kayak. It's not possible,"

"Daniella didn't lie because Daniella used to have a close classmate with Rivaldo and his friends, her name was Alana. Jennifer likes Rivaldo. Jennifer's gang bullies her to the point of fright and eventually transfers schools. Even though she has moved schools, Jennifer still hates her and she is visited at her new school. He was bullied again, beaten to physical play. Now he's dead."

Although Alin did not know the figure of Daniella's classmate, but from the story Daniella can be said that her friend suffered greatly.

"Even if you're like him, don't get that bad. Don't ever hold anything dear to your aunt's story. Aunty doesn't want you to hold anything alone."

Daniella spontaneously hugs Alin and makes Alin return her embrace.

"Hopefully Daniella is not the second Alana,"

"Don't tell me that, baby, it won't happen."

The two women cried happily and took off her embrace after a while.

"Hm, by the way, did you pay for Daniella's medical expenses yesterday?"

"Udah, but aunty has to see a weird surgeon. Huft, he seems rich."

Daniella laughed a little.

"I mean doctor Albert's aunt? He is a very smart doctor. Aunty likes him, huh?" moda Daniella's.

"It's impossible that aunty likes the same arrogant man as that. She has a boyfriend like her anyway. His girlfriend is model tuh hahaha. They're compatible."

"I wonder when Aunt Alin fell in love and got married? Auntie wants to live twenty-six years old. Auntie hasn't planned on it?"

"Not Dan. Aunty wants to focus on getting through all the problems just got married."

"OKay, hahaha. BTW Daniella feels bad calling aunt. What do you call it?"

"Who keeps calling aunty. How do you feel so foreign? Haha,"

"It's very close to calling aunty. Aunt is no longer a maid. But like the hero who's always been there for Daniella. What if I call Mommy?" Daniella.

" Mother? Can also tuh. The call's cool."

"Ok mom. Mother Theialine Carissa hihihi," said Daniella mentioned the long name Alin.

Alin smiled meaningfully and stroked Daniella's head.

Meanwhile at a bar, Tasya who was letting go of his weakness while drinking beer began to feel dizzy when he heard Vernon's voice calling out to him.

"Dear pity please don't drink anymore. How many glasses have you been drinking since? Let's go home," Vernon asked while trying to support his lover's body.

Vernon looked at his girlfriend and whispered something.

"I thought Daniella was a good person to you all along, apparently not. Next time I will pay more attention to you. From now on you stay with me, right? You've suffered enough all this time" Vernon said with a deep tone of resentment as he called out Daniella's name.

If only the man knew the truth.

Vernon stood up and carried Tasya's body out of the bar.

Rivaldo who was dribbling his basketball carelessly felt unsettled when he recalled the words of doctors at the hospital and teachers at his school about Daniella. From what he heard, some teachers have also found Daniella crying alone without a friend beside her. Usually the girl will cry alone in the girls toilet. When asked what happened, Daniella would melt her tears quickly and say just fall. From the look on his face, it was clear he was not okay.

The most suspicious thing is that she always wears long sleeves every day. This time he felt guilty. Then one unanswered question, why can Daniella have a mother who is still beautiful and young? Looked at like a woman thirty years old and under.

"Young master, madam is calling you to her room."

"Home home yet?"

House assistant head Rivaldo nodded his head slowly.

Upon arriving in the room, he was looking at his father and mother kissing a sign of deep love between the two, making Rivaldo sigh rough.

While Rafael who realized his son had seen them since earlier, immediately stopped their activities and tried to hold the shame on his face that had now turned red.

"Why did you show up all of a sudden?" rafael said he was patient.

While Zesya blushed in embarrassment and told her husband to stay calm.

"You don't miss your mom, do you? It's hard to contact, huh!? You can't forget what day it is, right?"

Rivaldo frowned and then flicked his shoulders.

"You're the family's son, aren't you? Oh, my God, this one kid. It's the day your sister died, Reica. Let's go on pilgrimage."

Rivaldo cursed himself. How could he possibly forget the day of his late sister's departure?

"Sorry ma," said Rivaldo apologizing sincerely.

Zesya nodded.

"Let's go. Your brother must have been waiting."

Rivaldo nodded. He walked beside his mother following Rafael who had walked first. When he arrived at the courtyard of Rivaldo's house, his two brothers, Revan and Zivanna immediately welcomed Rivaldo's arrival.

"Long time you want to go down Riv. How are you after your beloved family in America for two months?" chirping Revan immediately patted Rivaldo's shoulder hard. Rivaldo was patient. If this is not home and in front of his mother's father, then Rivaldo will repay Revan's ignorance.

Rivaldo paused for a moment, then said, "Alright. I'm sure you're safe and comfortable there." - Rivaldo.

"What the hell is Riv? Did you make mama come with us yesterday? Now even quip." reply Zivanna did not want to lose.

"Yes emang. Brother yaudah is always right."

"That's dong,"

Now the happy family had gathered in one car and behind them was a car of men who supervised the safety of the Heindrick family.

"Depart now pa." said Zesya. Rafael nodded and ran his car.

***

Reica Angelista Heindrick died four years ago of cancer. At that time he was thirteen years old. His passing left a very deep sorrow to the Heindrick extended family.

Reica was buried in a hilly area of her choice before she died. This hill was his favorite place.

"I want to rest here after I leave, ma." Those words were very heartbreaking to Rafael and Zesya. A week later Reica breathed his last and was buried on this hill.

It is not exhausting for the Rivaldo family to climb this hill because it is not too high. A breeze enveloped the hilly area and made the hair of anyone who was there flutter. Slow-moving trees produce a sinister rhythm.

Zesya's tears trickle down as soon as she sees a photo of the late Reica that looks pale and thin when in the photo.

"Hi dear, this is our family visiting you again. How are you doing there? Was calm? You don't feel any pain anymore." sobs Zesya while hugging Reica's headstone.

Rafael tried to calm Zesya down beside him. Zesya who is very motherly, of course weak about things like this. Meanwhile, Revan and Zivanna begin to pull out the wild grass that grows on the walls of Reica's tomb. They also could not hold back their tears. While Rivaldo, his eyes began to glaze over but he remained as stoic as his papa Rafael.

"Gue misses you so much, Lo Rei. Lo adek I'm the only one. I can only pray that you are happy up there." Inner Rivaldo.

The boy also cleans the grave of the late Reica and puts new flowers on his grave in place of the withered flowers.

After doing pilgrimage activities as usual they also moved to return home.

"Papa the others go home first. Rivaldo still wants to be here."

"Why don't you go home together?"

"Rivaldo again wants to stay here for a long time" replied Rivaldo honestly.

"Oh yeah, that's it! Watch out for the same Riv, "Zivanna tried to scare Rivaldo.

"Yes," replied Rivaldo cuek.

"You're wrong about Zivanna's people, baby. Your brother is brave, I don't fear anything." Zesya laughed.

"Yaudah Riv, papa mama and your brother came back first. Papa's men will wait for you downstairs. Don't take too long" Rafael said. They left Rivaldo.

Rivaldo sat down near his sister's grave. Take a look at Reica's headstone and have a dialogue alone.

"Sister loves you more than anything." Rivaldo recalled the fun times with Reica when Reica was alive.
