"Where are you going, Dafa?!"


Dafa shook Inu's hand. But baby, Inu's grip is getting stronger.


"I won't let you go!"


Dafa is not out of sense. He bit Inu's hand hard.


Pain and pain felt by Inu. But he did not feel that this bite was not as painful and painful, as his pupil felt.


Dafa let go of his bite. He was crying but no sound. Inu immediately grabbed it.


Inu himself felt very guilty for lying to Dafa all this time.


"I was wrong too, Dafa. I'm sorry..." Inu's voice sounded hoarse and stiff.


Dafa did not respond. This harsh reality must be accepted. And really, he is not ready to face it all.


When Inu let go of his arms, it turned out that Dafa had fallen asleep. The boy's face looked tired and pale.


Once again, Inu felt that she had hurt Dafa's feelings. And he promised in his heart that he would do anything to make amends.


Inu carried Dafa to his bedroom. Put him on his bed. Then enveloped his student's body.


After months of living together, this may be the second time Dafa has slept on his bed that was not as comfortable.


Geck.. Geck.. Geck..


Inu hurried to open the boarding door. He threw a smile at the people in front of him.


"Sorry, it's like this.."


Anggita Suryatama is a bit hesitant to enter. He was afraid to meet his grandson in person.


"Why are there suitcases and bags here?" Ask Rafa lightly.


"That's-"


"Is my grandson leaving again, Mr Inu?" Ask Anggita Suryatama with a sad and lethargic face.


Inu nodded weakly.


"But he didn't leave, did he?!" Ardiansyah.


"Now Dafa is sleeping. He looks so tired." Inu Clear.


And for the first time, they were able to look back at Dafa at such a close distance.


"Look at him, Dad. Even after stepping on a teenager he still likes to sleep while wrinkling his thumb.." Said Sam slowly.


Ardiansyah silently sculpted. It was very exciting to be able to hug and look directly into the eyes of the youngest child. But he was very afraid, just in case Dafa would not be able to forgive him.


"Dafa's been sleeping here all this time?" Rafa asked suspiciously. "Two with Om Inu?"


Inu shook his head while commenting on the thin smile.


"During here, Dafa never wanted to sleep in this room."


"Then where did my grandson sleep, Mr Inu?"


Inu also pointed to an empty space between the tv rack and the sofa.


Inu nodded. "Although I had forced him to switch places, Dafa never wanted to."


Aggita also sits in a place where Dafa usually rests his body. Take the white pillow, and hold it tightly.


"He always said that here he just hitchhiked and did not want to make me hassles.


Sam's attention was then focused on the cans of biscuits that were behind the pile of pillows and blankets.


"It turns out that little Dafa still likes to snack, Grandma.."


"Actually it-it's not a biscuit."


"What right, Om Inu?" Sam frowned. But he first opened the lid of the biscuit can. "Money?"


"That's the money, the result of selling food all this time.."


Anggita Suryatama grabbed some sheets of paper money in shabby condition.


"O Allah, Ardianshah-he sacrificed his time and energy just to collect a few thousand rupiahs..?" The tears of Anggita Suryatama are unstoppable.


Ardiansyah's body shook violently. It was as if he could feel how much pain and aching had plagued his youngest child's body all along.


While he himself can sleep on a very warm and comfortable mattress, eat any food, and buy anything with the coffers of his family's wealth.


"Don't hold my money!!" Dafa appeared on the doorstep of the bedroom with eyes glaring and waist-rattling.


They all flinched. They all fell silent. And they all wait.


Dafa approached Anggita Suryatama. Grab that money can.


"Back.."


Dafa brushed aside Anggita Surytama's hand. Then he got back up. Staring sharply at Inu.


"If I had enough money, I would have built my own house!! Let no one get in!"


Brakk..!!


Dafa went back into Inu's bedroom. Slammed the door very hard.


"Da -"


"Leave it alone, Mr. Inu.." Anggita Suryatama is weak.


Not long after that, the door opened again. Dafa came out and went straight to the bathroom.


"The cost is terrible. To the bathroom you have to go out of every room!"


Sam smiled from his position. He realized that his younger brother would never change.


Dafa came back out. Angry is not clear of course.


"His room is narrow. Many people. Again at the meeting!? Make it so hot!"


Brakk..!!


"Ckckck, Dafa - Dafa. That kid.." Sam muttered as he looked at the photo of Dafa and Inu playing into the night market. "Until any time, you are my little sister's Dafa..."
