Daniella. He held his head and sat down. The morning sun's light directed entirely towards him making him cover his face that was struck by the light due to the glare.
He looked around and saw something strange. Instantly he felt anxious. He knows it's not in his house. But who brought him here? She remembers nothing more than being forcefully shoveled by Nadia's men and put in a car.
"Don't be afraid Daniella. You are with me here." said the voice in a calm and gentle tone.
Daniella turned, it was Alin. He was shocked beyond measure and both tried to ascertain what he saw and heard. That woman is Alin. But how could Alin have escaped so easily? Now that's the question.
"Aunt Alin why did you run away and why are there so many burns on your body?" Daniella looked at Alin's body with horror and pity. Alin's gaze could not lie, of course he felt tight and sad.
"Don't be reckless like me to get away from Nadia. I deliberately set fire to your kitchen and hurt my own body."
"Me, burn down my kitchen? At least don't do that. Don't aunts pity aunty's pretty face?"
"It's been Daniella. It's not the kind of life I've wanted to live before, now I'm so sorry for everything!"
Daniella remained silent.
"I also feel like it's Aunt Alin. I can't believe Liza and the other papa's men betrayed my family."
"Ekhemm, Daniella about that please listen to me until it's over."
Daniella frowned, then asked.
"Aunt Alin doesn't believe in Daniella?"
"That's not Daniella, baby. Liza and the others did not betray you and Calandra's family. They even broke Nadia's orders to sell you out of the country. They say they're sorry for making you like this."
"Mama Nadia will sell me out of the country? Why is he struggling?"
"That's the reason Liza and the others aren't traitors. They're gonna have to hold you like Nadia ordered."
"In addition Liza said what else does auntie have?"
"She said she's sorry about everything and she hopes to see you someday."
Daniella, who had been burned by the flames of anger at Liza's betrayal, crumbled and pondered for a while.
"Ah, this is my home. On the outskirts of town. I'm sorry if it's uncomfortable, I'm afraid you don't feel at home living here with me."
Daniella shook her head quickly.
"It's okay bi." she replied briefly.
"Here, breakfast first. You've been passed out for almost the whole day." Alin thrusting a tray containing grilled fish and noodle soup. Daniella who felt very hungry without a second thought immediately ate it.
Alin smiled seeing Daniella greedily eating. These few weeks Daniella's diet is chaotic and not voracious. She was afraid that her little mistress had an ulcer.
"It's tuesday. You want to go to school today?"
"But my uniform... "
"Liza delivered your suitcase last night. Somewhat. He is understanding. It seems like enough until I can buy you a new suit worth wearing."
"Thank you, Aunt Alin."
Daniella dragged the suitcase towards him and opened it. Looks like Liza understands the model of clothing that is comfortable to use by Daniella.
"I'll take you from today to school" Alin said, to Daniella's surprise.
"Why? I can take care of myself aunty don't worry."
"From now on I'm not sure you're alone at school. Mafia and spy Nadia should always be on our guard so they don't know we're still here."
Daniella's feelings are made goosebumps. If only they were found out, then most likely the mafia would sell them to human trafficking.
"yes too. Alright."
Daniella breathes deep air.
"But from here to school far away."
Alin paused for a moment, then opened his mouth again. "That can be discussed later... "
Daniella looked at Alin doubtfully.
"Gee, take a shower first. You can also go to school without being late today."
Daniella said she finished her meal quickly and got out of bed. While Alin thrusts a soft white towel at Daniella.
Daniella went to the bathroom that was in the bedroom. Not too big, but clean and fragrant. Meanwhile, Alin continues to prepare Daniella's school uniform.
***
Five minutes from time, the first bell began and Daniella was still not at school. Alin hastily gasped his motorcycle and made Daniella have to hold firmly to Alin's jacket.
"I'm sorry Dan. This is aunt gini. Aunty's afraid you're late and in the law."
"It must be too late, right?" inner Daniella.
But Daniella did not want to blame Alin and then replied in a relaxed tone.
"Hm yes bi. But don't you fall?"
From the rearview mirror of the motorcycle, Daniella can see Alin holding back his laughter for being too scared.
"Wouldn't do it."
CIIIIIIIIYIT! Alin brakes his motorcycle suddenly and makes Daniella's body bump into his body.
"Oh," cried Daniella as she went down and took off her helmet. He then straightened his messy hair.
"Ahahahah, sorry auntie ya,"
Daniella nodded.
"Then I go first huh bi," Daniella waved her hand making Alin nod and go back to running her motorcycle.
"Well, again I'm not lucky." Daniella was disappointed to see who the picket teacher and the attendant who watched over the late student today was.
The teachers immediately stared at the horror at him. Daniella lowered her head as she dared not look at them one by one.
"You? Athlanta International High School's proud student is late? What kind of exemplary student are you?" snarl the teacher.
Why are these teachers so forced? Of course, all who are role models can certainly make mistakes. But Daniella can only curse in the heart.
"Java!" snarl the teacher again.
"Sorry sir. My home is far from school. I had to move there." reply Daniella as if.
"Aren't you thinking what the impact is? Of course it's too late as it is now."
Daniella's eyes glazed over. Does he always have to be strong when he is angry in his own home even in this school?
"Don't cry!" snarl that teacher.
Daniella blinked her eyes a few times and shed her tears.
"Basar crybaby! You are an adult! Look at your other friends don't cry like kids."
"I, yes sir... "
"Now you and all those who are late this morning squat roads around the field ten times and you are the exception. You are twenty times. Understood?"
"But sir we can still give some leeway to Daniella. He's just late this time." persuaded another teacher.
"Nobody can interfere with my decision" the teacher replied.
"I'm fine miss." replied Daniella. He ended up leading that congregational punishment in front, the road squatting ten times. Some looked compassionately at him and could only support through the gaze. Daniella was still serving the sentence when the others were finished serving her sentence.
"The spirit of Dan" they whispered from a distance.
Meanwhile, Rivaldo, who was walking alone and saw Daniella looking down in tears and sometimes looking ahead blankly, raised one eyebrow in the eye.
"Who gives such a heavy punishment?" his inner.
When Daniella had been squatting around the field for fifteen times, as a result in the eighteenth round Daniella was not strong anymore. Her face grew pale and made some people cry hysterically as Daniella convulsed on the sidelines.
Rivaldo who did not believe in his vision immediately ran to Daniella and finally Daniella was mobbed by students who tried to give her first aid. Followed by several young teachers and doctors at their school.
"His face is so pale, my God!" the teacher there.
"You shouldn't have given Daniella that kind of punishment."
The teacher who punished Daniella was immediately shocked.
"I didn't expect this to happen" the teacher seemed to regret it.
Rivaldo, who is also part of the young doctor community at his school, escorted Daniella's body to the school clinic with three other young doctors for further help.
