The Babysitter Belongs to the Duda
Tragedy 2

Nadia's eyes were round and even teary to see her son sitting on the classroom floor hugging his knees and legs were red-red due to a broom punch and leg kick. I don't know what's on the minds of the adults there who bravely bully Arnold who incidentally was a child. He was sure that Arnold would immediately not want to go to school because of this incident.

Everyone there immediately turned their attention to the sound of the call for Arnold. Some adults immediately got out of the way and there were even two teachers unknown to Nadia who were there. Not to break up but the two even casually sat down while eating a snack. It was heartless, Nadia thought at the time.

"What did you do to my son?" nadia's jolt with a reddened face held back the anger.

Truly the school that used to be proud when his two children studied here, tarnished because of the actions of irresponsible people. It is very regrettable because some employees who were there participated in watching this incident without anyone wanting to do it.

Two teachers also immediately rose from their seats when they found out that Arnold's parents had been there. Even some children who had seen Nadia as a classmate of his son were there and brought two brooms that he believed to hit Arnold's leg.

"So Arnold helped Nilam because he was scolded by the teacher's mother. When they want to be hit, Arnold immediately protect Nilam until they continue to beat and kick his legs. Nilam apologized for accidentally breaking Lilo's pencil" Nilam fought while crying.

Even Alan's eyes were now teary to see the condition of his brother who was still silent hugging his knee. Alan immediately rebelled from Nadia's arms to be put down. Nadia who understood also lowered her son then Alan walked limped in front of his brother. While Nadia clasped Nilam's hand while staring at the people who were there.

"Basic has no heart. You are both educators but do not reflect the attitude of someone who educates his students. Don't blame me for ransacking this school" Nadia jolted with overwhelming anger.

"It's your son's fault that you're so stupid and pretentious to be a hero. Besides his fault he also said he should protect the girl, should just let us hit him so that your child is not injured" said one of the teachers who was there.

"Again, the ones who hit them were not me, but them" he continued, pointing to the other children.

Nadia could only shake her head with the thought of the teacher. As if he had no guilt even though he had scolded or would hit a child. Nadia was eager to retaliate but here were some children who did not deserve to see the violent scene. Moreover, he knew that the children could not be violent without someone telling him.

"Bang, yo reload" said Alan with teary eyes.

Even Alan had already patted and pulled his brother's hand but Arnold was just silent in his position. Even not moving at all made Alan worried about making it, while Nadia who saw it just pulled Nilam's hand and then approached Arnold.

"Son, this is mom. Let's go home" Nadia asked by stroking Arnold's back gently.

Arnold remained unmoved in his place and not even a sound came out of his mouth. This made Nadia so worried that without another word immediately lifted her child into her sling.

"Alan, Nilam... You join hands, we go home" said Nadia firmly.

The two obeyed Nadia's orders then hooked their hands together and passed away from the classroom without saying goodbye. While Nadia who was still holding Arnold who was silent immediately grabbed her son's bag lying on the floor and stared intently at everyone who was there.

All of them even now lowered their heads not daring to look towards Nadia who gave them all her sharp and cynical gaze. Really Nadia will not let the people who hurt her child can be free at will. Nadia immediately left the classroom leaving everyone there.

Even two teachers and a few adults who already knew about Arnold's background could only curse inwardly. They are too rash to attack people who have power in the field of business.

"Unda, bang dali adi ndak da cualana" Alan said.

After coming out of the school room, the four of them immediately walked down the street to go home. Nadia decides to ask the driver to take her to the hospital because it looks like Arnold's mentality is shaken.

"Nilam, want to go home or come with aunty first?" nadia asked without answering Arnold's question.

"Ikut aunty. Later ask for help to contact papa ya aunty" said Nilam with his heartfelt gaze.

Nadia just nodded her head to understand, because the ART that asked papa Nilam also did not come to school. He was a little worried about Nilam's situation if left alone at home with his stepmother.

Before long, the four arrived at the Farda family home. Nadia immediately asked the security guard to pull out the car and drive her to the hospital. They had no time to enter the house. They immediately entered the car after the vehicle was ready in front of the four.

"To the hospital yes, sir" said Nadia.

The guard just nodded his head in understanding. He understood the emergency so he wouldn't ask questions especially seeing Alan and friend Arnold his eyes were puffy. Especially looking at Arnold's legs that look red and blue like swelling which is sure to happen something unpleasant.

In the car, Nadia contacted Mama Anisa and Andre. She wants Mama Anisa to wait for the arrival of her two girls after school while Andre must know about what happened to her son.

After a 15-minute drive, they arrived at the hospital. The security guard immediately took Alan and Nilam to enter the hospital following Nadia who ran while holding Arnold. Arnold was put in an IGD room where the boy had passed out.

"Please save my son" said Nadia with teary eyes when she saw the doctor going into the IGD room.

"We will try our best" replied the doctor and then passed into the IGD room.

Nadia was sitting in the waiting chair with Alan and Nilam who looked silent. Nadia immediately hugged the two to continue praying for Arnold's safety while the security guard was also still there because in case there was anything needed.
