The Babysitter Belongs to the Duda
School Activities

Time passed so quickly, it did not feel that the incident of Alice's family coming to the house had been a week. Likewise with Abel and Anara who have now returned to science in Kindergarten near the housing where he lived. The two are so happy to be reunited with their friends, especially Abel. Arnold was so happy because he would meet a girl named Nilam there.

The four walked to the school because Andre and Papa Reza could not deliver. The four of them walked so cheerfully while jumping around a little. This activity really makes Nadia happy especially her three children have now returned cheerful. Not how long they walked, finally the four arrived at a Kindergarten school. The four of them immediately entered as usual with Anara and Abel being escorted first to his class.

"Student learning, son. Nurut same teacher and must be good with his friends" Nadia's message to his two children.

The two nodded their heads with a smile then kissed Nadia's hand with reverence. While Arnold who saw the scene immediately approached his two brothers. He imitated Nadia who gave messages or advice to her two brothers.

"Sir Bel, Nala... Talo no yan angguin, cama Anol okay. Bial Anol keljain campe angis" said Arnold by showing his fierce face.

Arnold's speech suddenly invited the laughter of mothers who heard it. But not for Nadia and her two daughters, they were so moved by Arnold's words. The simple but heartwarming utterance because in fact what the little boy said contained a deep meaning. The remarks indicated that Arnold is a male figure who will protect his family later in adulthood.

Anara, Abel, and Nadia immediately hugged Arnold after hearing his words. Even repeatedly Nadia kissed Arnold's head making the boy so uncomfortable. Hearing the bell ring, they finally ended the hug event. Anara and Abel quickly enter the classroom while Arnold and Nadia walk to the school yard to wait there.

While Arnold was sitting with his mother, he saw the woman who was claimed to be his girlfriend was sitting on the swing like the first time he met her. Arnold asked Nadia for permission to meet her friend there and she allowed it. Arnold walked slowly towards Nilam in his cool style.

"Hey wewek... Tok cendilian aja" Arnold's fashion with his style of rancid.

Even Arnold just sat next to Nilam who was playing his own feet. Nilam immediately turned his gaze towards Arnold and soon his eyes sparkled brightly because he would have a playmate.

"Hey wowok... Guests temana aja bebelapa hali this? Tok ndak to czech, Ilam unggu you know" said Nilam while pursing his lips.

"Anol agi cibuk kelja, cali uit bial bica ajan anyak-anyak" said Arnold with confidence.

"Gee... Wilt it? Mang Anol kelja what?" asked Nilam curiously.

"Kelja adi is lectured in the pronunciation. Tan's ebat atu?" arnold said with pride.

Nilam did not reply but he applauded enthusiastically. He is so proud and happy if his close friends can find money.

"The scholar in the electul ulasna napain?" ask Nilam again.

Nilam blinked his eyes repeatedly. He was confused by the job duties that Arnols said because after all if work meant busy but this sweet sitting can get money. But he just kept quiet and did not ask any further, only nodding his head pretending to understand.

The two continued talking excitingly and even forgot the people around him who looked anxiously at them, especially Nadia. Just this time Arnold spoke at length and was very enthusiastic about his peers.

While Anara and Abel are now sitting in a circle with other friends in the class. Today all do not rest outside the classroom because there is a special time to familiarize yourself with fellow friends. It is required that all bring food supplies so that they will eat together. Although Abel and Anara have not been in school for a long time, but the teacher always gives an announcement in the parent chatt group so that Nadia can prepare them for lunch.

"Nara, said my mama you now have a stepmother huh?" ask one of Anara and Abel's friends, Ayu.

"Yes, her name is Mother Nadia" Anara replied enthusiastically.

"He's good, isn't he? He said that stepmothers are usually evil, like to have us clean the toilet and the floor of the house. Rich in Cinderella fairy tales" asked another friend, Desi.

Anara and Abel frowned in surprise at this. They know about the Cinderella story, but the mother is not like what is in the story. Even Nadia was very good, never told the three except to clean up her own toys. After all, to clean the toilet and the floor of the house is always done by Mbok Imah assisted with Nadia.

"Oh... No dong. My mother was good, never told anything like that. Besides, at home there is already a duty to clean and cook" said Abel.

"Gee... Means the stepmother's story that is in the Cinderella story is not necessarily in the real world. The proof is that stepmother Abel and Anara are kind" said Ayu praised.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement with Ayu's words. But without them realizing it, Abel and Anara immediately thought of his friend's speech about stepmother who likes to torture children who are not real. Moreover, now the mother has no children of her own.

The bell sign home from school has rung, all students flocked out of class to go home, not least Anara and Abel. But there are different with the two children because they are not as happy as when they left school earlier. This made Nadia and Arnold who saw him amazed. Especially when you see the two of them just silent from earlier without saying hello when meeting with the two.

"What's wrong?" nadia asked softly while crouching down to equalize her height with the two girls.

"Will a stepmother like you torture her stepson?" abel asked timidly.

Nadia who heard that was surprised, because all this time she had never considered the three children of Andre as stepchildren. He considers them his own children. But now in the eyes of his two children it is very visible that both are thinking hard and under pressure. They also seem to be afraid of Nadia.
