Throughout the night Nathan unceasingly stared at the Flower photo Bela had taken. Her heart felt sliced as it looked at the body of the Flower that looked thinner than the last time they met. Even his clothes look very shabby. Nathan can guess that the clothes used by the flower are cheap clothes that are often sold by people in the market. His cheeks were thin, making Nathan's heart severed.
"Flower, this is really you, right? Sorry, sorry I was selfish! Sorry, sorry for my stupidity that dumped you. I beg Bunga, forgive me!" with teary eyes.
Meanwhile, in the tiny contract owned by Bunga, he could not close his eyes. Actually, he really wanted to hug his friend, but he was embarrassed by his current situation. Especially if until his friends know his life for 6 years and have children out of wedlock, it is not impossible he will be a material teasing and scorn.
Actually, Bunga was immune to all the scorn of the people, but he could not if his little daughter was made fun of. His daughter is innocent. It was he who was guilty of doing the wrong thing that brought the Princess into this world. Bunga never regretted the presence of his daughter, but the way that made him not stop regretting. Why would he foolishly give up his chastity to Nathan? Until in the end, it was she who had to endure all the difficulties, scorn, ridicule due to pregnancy outside marriage.

"Sir, the pulse is 10 thousand dong!"
"Please write the number here yes, deck!"
"Udah mbak."
"Please wait a minute! Already, please check !"
"Udah in, ma'am. How many mbak?"
"Twelve thousand, deck."
"This, madam. Thanks yeah!"
"Together," replied the sumringah Flower.
Such is the daily life of Flowers at the counter. When there are no customers, then Bunga will busy themselves by typing his novel through a mobile phone. Lucky today can write novels online through mobile phones, so Flowers do not need to buy a laptop that must be very expensive.
Meanwhile, the day already showed at 10 am. It's time for Hasanah's kindergarten kids to come home. Unlike other children who were picked up by their mother or father or other family members, the Princess actually went home alone. Accustomed to being independent makes him not afraid to step foot tracking every small hallway that can deliver it to the counter where Bunga works. It's not that Bunga won't pick up, but he has to guard the counter and no one can replace him if he leaves. Lucky, the daughter is an independent child. He can memorize the road quickly and precisely. The distance from the school to the counter is actually not too far, only through a few small aisles then he will arrive at the counter.
"Daughter, are you a bastard?" ask Jeje to the Princess. The princess who heard the question then poked her lips.
"Mama said the bastard didn't exist. Every child born is holy, clean, not unclean" said the Princess bravely. He once asked Bunga if he was really an illegitimate child and Bunga brushed him aside. Bunga told the Princess that the bastard child did not exist. All children are born pure and clean.
"If you're not a bastard, where are you? My mother said you were no papa and the son who had no papa was an illegitimate child so you are an illegitimate child" Tina said.
The princess throws her lips with teary eyes. When the existence of his father began to be questioned, he also felt sad. Why do his friends like to ridicule him who does not have a father? Is it wrong to not have a father?
"Well, diem, be true said my mother you are an illegitimate child."
"Daughter of illegitimate children. The bastard daughter. The bastard's daughter."
"The princess has no papa. You're not like I have papa. Papa I'm so good. Papa also dear I continue to like to buyin me toys of sorts, buyin dolls, cooking toys as well. Papa also likes to take me for a walk. Princesses never go for a walk! Kasian!" Tina and Jeje's ejek alternated.
"I'm not a bastard! I have papa. Papa I am also very good with me. Papa loves me and my mom. If papa Putri comes home, you will definitely take the Princess for a walk," said the Princess with a raised voice and fiery eyes.
"Have, lied!" Jeje came forward and pushed the Princess' shoulder until it staggered to the edge of the sidewalk.
"I'm not lying!" reply Princess who also pushed Jeje.
Not accepting the push, Jeje went forward tugging at Princess's hair with Tina's help making the Princess scream.
"Deliver!" shouting Princess. "Take me off!"
"Hey, release!" exclaimed a man who immediately pulled Jeje and Tina's hands to release his grip on the Princess' hair.
Seeing that someone was helping the Princess, Jeje and Tina immediately ran.
"Hiks hiks hix ... The princess has papa. The princess was not an illegitimate child," the Princess roared making the person who had just helped her feel the pain in her heart. Then he clutched the tiny body of the Princess while rubbing her back so that the Princess' crying soon subsided.
Deg ...
"Have you been satisfied?" nathan asked softly.
Yeah, the one who helped the Princess was Nathan.
When he wanted to visit the location of the project, Nathan accidentally saw a little girl who was surrounded by several friends. At first Nathan wanted to ignore it, but either his body was guiding him to pull over the car and approach the poor little girl. Especially when he heard his friends mocking him bastard son, had no papa, made his mind scream bitterly. And her chest became more and more claustrophobic as the poor little girl's hair was pulled by her two friends.
Nathan rushed to break up the children's quarrel. Nathan was astonished, but there were some adults watching but they did not attempt to break up at all. I don't know where those people's consciences think they are.
The princess nodded in Nathan's arms, "already," his great-grandson quietly.
The princess kept her face away from Nathan's chest. The Princess' eyes and nose turned red and she clenched her nose with the tip of her sleeve making Nathan chuckle amusedly.
"Scook!" nathan's taunts made Princess' tiny lips come back pursed.
Then the Princess looked up at Nathan's handsome face.
Deg ...
Seeing the beautiful and cute face of the Princess suddenly made Nathan's heart beat fast.
'What strange feeling is this? Can't I like this little girl? No way after all these years of not dating suddenly become a pedophile? Ck .. There's-there's only you Nathan. But that face ... why is it so familiar huh?' inner Nathan monologue.
"Thank you, Om already help Princess," said the Princess with sparkling eyes.
"Hmmm ... So your name is Princess?"
"Yes, Om. Nih, the name of the Princess is written here," point the Princess at her name which is on the chest.
"Princess Buana W? A pretty name as pretty as you," praise Nathan for making Princess blush.
"This name is a gift from mama, Om," he answered enthusiastically.
"Oh yeah? Where is your mama? How can you not pick it up?" nathan asked in a wiggle.
"Daughter goes home alone, Om. Mama will have to work to find money to eat," answered the Princess innocently made Nathan's heart instantly bitter.
"If papa?"
"Papa doesn't exist, Om. Papa the Princess doesn't know where."
The princess's reply left Nathan flabbergasted. Instantly he remembered the ridicule of the Princess' friends earlier.
'Don't he ... "
"Om, Princess go home first! Dada Om," said the Princess as she waved her hand.
Nathan waved his hand with a smile. As soon as Princess, Nathan's eyes warmed up.
When viewed, it looks like the age of the Princess is around 5 to 6 years. It reminded her of the flower. They have been separated for 6 years. If it is true when the flower is pregnant, it means that the age of the child is almost the same as the Princess. His mind is screaming. What if his son also suffered bullying like a princess. Indeed, Nathan might not be able to forgive himself for making the Flower and her baby have difficulties and suffering.
