"I can't accept my son being treated like this" Andre lamented.
Nadia hands her phone to her husband and also Papa Reza. There is a CCTV video requested by Nadia on the school as evidence to be submitted to the police. Initially the school did not allow it but because it was agreed that the family would bring this case to the legal path of course they should not prevent it.
Alan, Anara, and Abel have taken Mama Anisa out of the inpatient room for lunch while Nadia has discussions with Andre and Papa Reza. Both men were very angry that their family members were treated this way.
"I told you that I will take this case to the authorities and related agencies. Everything in the classroom I will say whether it is still a child or an adult" Nadia said with angry eyes.
"I agree" said Andre.
"Papa agrees too. We also ask for the results of Arnold's visa from this hospital to strengthen the evidence" said Papa Reza then accepted by Nadia and Andre.
Papa Reza immediately contacted his family's lawyer to take care of the case. Papa Reza immediately came out of Arnold's inpatient room to see his doctor and lawyer who would come to the hospital. He won't let everyone who hurt his granddaughter loose, while Nadia and Andre choose to wait for Arnold in the ward.

"So Arnold was delirious and shouted hysterically not wanting to go to school again for fear of being hit. Just this first time I saw Arnold scared to death like this" said Andre, chuckling.
Nadia who was next to him could only embrace the husband while gently stroking his back. He was also worried about Arnold's condition which he had seen for the first time. Seeing so many bruises on his legs also made him remember how cruel the adults were to hit his son's smooth legs.
"We need to be strong and work together for Arnold's health. Do not show sadness in front of him or the other children. I'm sure that Arnold's illness will have little effect on the condition of his brothers" Nadia said.
Andre just nodded his head while sighing tiredly. The two finally stood up and walked closer to Arnold's bed gurney. Nadia sat on the bedside chair while gently stroking her son's hair.
"The most handsome of Farda's family, healed yuk. Do not get sick rich gini dong, mother does not like this" said Nadia while chuckling sliced.
He looked at Arnold with his own eyes. The child who is usually always cheerful in front of him and always makes him upset is now even lying weak on a hospital bed. Nadia really misses the babbling and the typical style of her tengil that makes her entertained.
"He didn't want to see the mother sad and cry, but Arnold was like this" he continued.
Andre stroked Nadia's already trembling back. He understands the feelings of the wife who is very close to the child. Nadia could not hide her tears because for her this was the toughest moment in her life because she had to see her son sick and feel a deep trauma. In the past when accompanying Abel was very hit especially Arnold who always made a tremendous surprise for him.

Seeing the arrival of the person who had hurt his son, Andre's hands beside his body were clenched perfectly. It feels like he wants to punch the innocent faces of two women in front of him but he as a man abstains from beating women.
"Would you guys come here? Want to laugh to see the state of my son who until now is still lying weak in a hospital bed?" asked Andre with a snivel.
"Sorry sir, we're here to visit Ananda Arnold and there's something to talk about" said one of their families.
Lucky they brought a family of elders make Andre also reluctant if doing bad. Andre sighed and then stepped aside slightly to let them into Arnold's inpatient room. Everyone who was enjoying the dinner instantly stared at the few people who had just entered.
Mama Anisa and Nadia almost choked on the food that had just entered her mouth because they saw the arrival of people they did not want to see. Both of them compactly immediately reach for a glass filled with mineral water then drink it greedily.
"Would you guys come here?" nadia and Mama Anisa together.
Even Alan, Abel, and Anara who were there until surprised to hear the cry of the mother and grandmother. The three of them immediately stepped aside assisted by Papa Reza while Andre immediately calmed his mother and wife.
"There are children" whispered Andre.
The two women exhaled slowly to be able to neutralize any emotions that erupted in the chest. Andre told everyone to sit down while the three little boys chose to continue eating with Abel who would feed Alan.
"We are here to represent our two children who are teachers at Kindergarten to apologize to you and your family, especially Ananda Arnold. We are willing to accept the legal consequences and bear the cost of this hospital" Ica's father said.
"They are still new teachers even just graduated from college so the attitude has not been shown as an educator. If possible, we ask for this issue to be resolved in a family manner" he continued with a smile.
Nadia, Andre, and Mama Anisa who initially sympathized with the words from Ica's father was immediately furious instead of playing. It turns out that at first they spoke well even impressed to give support about the legal process but in the end there was already behind the stone. They come with a mission so that this problem is resolved in a family manner.
"We have forgiven their behavior but I as a parent will never retract what I said. We will continue this case to the legal track because all evidence can even directly imprison them" Nadia said firmly.
"True, for us there is no mercy for those who want to harm one of our families. We are worried that if later this case is resolved in a familial manner, there will be other Arnold who became a victim of their violence" said Mama Anisa.
Mama Anisa and Nadia are indeed one voice to continue all this into the legal path. For both, no one can change the decision even though the suspect's parents ask for forgiveness from them. They want both deterred from doing anything that harms the school and the children.
