In the afternoon after school, Luri sat down to look at the flowers she had planted. Somehow his mind kept on going to the woman who had greeted Galang this afternoon. Luri was not jealous, but she felt as if she had come to meet him. This he realized from the look of the face and also the attitude of Galang who looks different when Luri asked about who the woman was.
"Although it's true that woman came to look for me, what was her purpose? All this time I have never been in contact with strangers, nor have I ever been with certain groups. But why does my heart keep telling me there's business between us?" murmured Luri was confused.
Luri kept remembering whether she had been in trouble before or not. But no matter how hard he tried to remember, Luri still could not find anything. Luri is a home girl, she is out of the house just for important things like school and shopping. But the urge of curiosity in his heart made Luri keep wondering. He's really curious.
"It's not good for a girl to sit daydreaming alone in these afternoons."
Nita smiled slightly then sat down next to her daughter. She then fondly stroked Luri's head. "What are you thinking, hm?" asked Nita in a very soft voice.
"Mother ... I think who," replied Luri. "I'm not thinking about anything, Mom."
"If you're not thinking about anything, why didn't you say it when Mom called you earlier? Are you thinking about Fedo?"
Luri was a little clumsy when the mother mentioned Fedo's name. She was afraid that her mother would know of their relationship. Not wanting to make the mother curious, Luri quickly brushed off the words.
"It's not about Fedo, Mom. It's about my school," she smiled at her mother. "There was a foreign woman who came to our school. And the woman spoke to Galang. At first I didn't think anything, but Galang acted strangely afterwards. He kind of dodged every time I asked about that woman. It's weird."
Nita's forehead shriveled after hearing her daughter's story. Instinct as a mother immediately gave a sign that her daughter was in trouble. Luri was so beautiful and smart, these two things could have provoked the hatred of someone behind her. Fearing that her daughter was being targeted by someone, Nita quickly gave her a warning. He does not want his favorite daughter to be up to nothing.
"Darling, do you see what that woman looks like?" asked Nita with a very serious look.
"Em just a little ma'am. The woman covered her face using a scarf, so I couldn't see it clearly" Luri replied honestly. "Why do you ask like that? Do you feel the same way as me?"
"Luri, we are not currently living in the village. But this is a big city where there are many modes of crime with various trivial reasons as the trigger. I'm worried that you're being pursued by someone who might harbor envy for you at school."
Heart luri thumped not karu-kuliran. His mother's suspicions were reasonable given his status as a freshman at his school. Not to mention the victory of Luri who managed to get a college scholarship, it seems that this is indeed a little related. But if this is true, who among his friends would want to do evil to him?
"Did you have enemies in school?" cecar Nita is getting restless. He spoke while looking at his daughter's face.
"No, Ma. I never had any enemies in school. But there are some students who don't like me a little. They were envious because I was friends with Galang and Jovan" Luri replied, feeling uneasy. "Mom, isn't it bad if we're prejudiced against others? Because not necessarily also the woman was really looking for me. It's just my feeling."
When Luri was having a serious conversation with her mother, from inside the house came Nania who came while carrying a snack in her hand. The girl looked curious to see her sister and mother who were talking with tense faces.
"Sister Luri, Mother, what are you talking about? Why do your faces look tense like they're seeing a ghost?" ask Nania curious. He then sat next to his mother.
Before replying, Nita cradles whether she needs to tell her youngest daughter about the woman who is after Luri or not. She was worried that Nania's frustration would explode as soon as she told her that someone wanted to hurt her sister.
"Why doesn't Mom and Luri's sister answer anyway?" nania's insistence.
"Nania, your sister said that at school there was a foreign woman talking to Galang. And your brother felt that the woman had come to look for him. Your mother and sister were guessing whether the woman had any malicious intentions or how. I'm so worried, baby," Nita tells her youngest daughter.
Ill-mannered. So that peyot grandma really came to school again? Ahhhh, this can't be allowed. Fortunately, Peyot's grandmother did not meet with Luri. It could be bad if Kak Luri finds out that the woman is her ex-lover, Kak Fedo. Where they had slept together. Haiisshhhh, because of that stumpy lizard now I'm panicking myself. Huuh, Nania grumbled inwardly.
"Slow down just eat it, Nania. You'll choke!" said Luri worriedly seeing her sister's face flushed red after swallowing food.
"Sister Luri, did Brother Galang say anything to you?" tanya Nania made sure.
Luri shakes. He stared intently at his sister. Something was strange, Luri thought.
"Mom, tonight I have an appointment with my friends. Can't I just go out for the night? Just one hour. Yea?" whinek Nania while pointing the index finger in front of the face of the mother.
Nania intends to go to see Galang. He needs to invite his upperclassman to work together to protect his sister from the pursuit of the grandmother Peyot. As a kind sister, it was only natural for Nania to behave like this. She did not want her brother to be hurt.
"Nania, it's not good a girl out night-night. I'm sure your father won't allow it" Nita said slowly. It was her husband's rule that their daughters were not allowed to go out at night except for urgent matters.
"But ma'am, it's for my friend's health. This afternoon his illness had recurred, and he told us all that he wanted to be with us tonight. Poor him, Mom. Her parents were out of town, she was at home with the servants alone. Can you, Mom?"
This unusual attitude of Nania made Luri even more suspicious. He begins to guess that Nania actually already knows who the woman is but is deliberately covered up. If it's like this, then it means that the woman has nothing to do with the students who don't like her at school. It has to do with Fedo. Yeah, this must have something to do with the Japanese guy. Moreover, last night Fedo also had time to mention the arrival of the woman who claimed to be his lover, as well as the strange drama watched by Nania. If you think correctly, all of these problems are interconnected. Could that woman be the woman in Fedo's past?
"What is your friend sick of, Nania?" ask Nita curious. He also heard the fate of his daughter's friend.
"Hour leaking, Mom. And it's been really bad. That's why we all agreed to go see him tonight. Yes, yes, Mom. This is for the sake of upholding humanity" Nania replied expectantly. She really hoped that her mother would give her permission.
"Hmmm, how is it? Later I will try to ask your father first yes. And remember, you'll only be allowed to go in between by the driver. Understood?"
Nania nodded quickly. After that, he decided to go to his room. While walking into the house, Nania sends a message to Galang that tonight she wants to invite him to an important meeting. Not to forget, he also asked for the address of the residence of his upperclassman so that later he would not get lost.
"Dad, Mother, Brother Luri.. Please forgive me for lying to you all. This shortcut I had to do to prevent the Peyot grandmother's attack. And angels, please don't record my sins in books, yes. All of this is in an emergency. Please understand you," muttered Nania softly.
