"A bit of a struggle, we asked for your home address from friends at school." The mysterious guest lied and Sandra was completely unaware of it.
"Hmm, that's quite reasonable. Now, what is the need for you to come here?"
Sandra instead interrogated the guests, not inviting them in.
"We just wanted to visit Nabila, I heard she was at your house."
"How did you know?" Sandra said again, this time with a confused look.
"We went to Nabila's house and learned all about it from her mother."
"It's hard to believe that you guys have gone that far."
"Sandra, there is a guest, why are you not invited in?" There was the sound of someone still in the house.
"Mama?"

"It was your younger brother who told Mama that there were guests outside. You're even interrogating them here. Come in."
Sandra was about to protest, but with her mother's scary face, Sandra was speechless. However, Sandra's way of making her mother understand will not work. Moreover, if it is not accompanied by clear reasons, of course, all that will not produce results.
"I'm sorry," said Sandra's mother when she was in the living room.
"No problem Auntie. Sorry, is it true that Nabila is here? We came here to visit her."
"I've never seen you before, are you their schoolmates?" asked Sandra's mother again.
"That's right auntie, we are transfer students. These are my two friends named Brendi and Draynes, and I'm Andros."
"Em. If you want to visit Bila, she is in Sandra's room which is not far from this room."
"Thank you, aunty."
Without much thought, Andros' party left. When they arrived right in front of the door of the room, Andros, Brandi, and Draynes still took the time to look at each other. After nodding.
"May we come in?"
Draynes who started the conversation first, Laska spontaneously turned towards the source of the voice. Laska's smile appeared when he found Andros, Brandi, and Draynes at the door.
"Of course, you can, why not? Besides, I need a friend," Laska said without realizing that his words offended Bila.
"What do you think of me Laska?" said Bila, for some reason the headache that had attacked him was slowly disappearing.
Laska automatically panicked.
"I didn't mean that, Nabila. I mean, I have a friend of the same sex, since I was the only one who was different, while you and Sandra were women," answered Laska quickly before when Nabila thought things over about him.
"Okay. And you." Nabila said quietly, "Why are you still standing there, please come in."
Nabila invites Andros, Brandi, and Draynes in. At least Nabila did not let the new students stand still at the door because of the misunderstanding that had occurred between her and Laska. Even if you think about it, Nabila still feels annoyed. Especially Andros, that person is troublesome and scary at the same time. But all that doesn't mean Nabila has to hate Andros and his two friends.
Sandra, who had gone to get snacks, came, Sandra's hands were full of various kinds of snacks and iced lemon drinks. So much, so that Sandra had to ask Albert to help bring some of the snacks.
"Sandra, you don't think it's too much, I'm sorry to see you carrying it," Nabila said quietly. Sandra was indifferent.
"I agree with you. But Mama is too excited," said Sandra briefly, looking like she didn't want to talk about it anymore.
"Sister, can Albert have a snack, Albert wants to eat in front of the television. Albert's favorite cartoon series has aired, Sis?"
While showing the sweetest smile, Albert tried to persuade his Sister, Albert's wish was granted. The boy's smile was innocent, as innocent as his demeanor. Albert looks so cute when he wants something.
"Take as much as you need. One condition you must fulfill, do not to eat too much. I don't want Mama to scold me."
Hearing his sister's approval, Albert didn't waste much time picking up two jars full of nuts. An innocent smile appears. Albert looks very happy when his wish is fulfilled.
"How are you Nabila?"
Shortly after the departure of Sandra's younger brother, Andros immediately asked about Nabila's condition. Preceding Laska to do that.
"What, no, I mean ..., I'm better," said Nabila stuttering in shock. Andros' question seemed rushed.
"Look Laska, someone ahead of you asked if Bila was doing well. Though…, he just came."
Sandra smiled seeing Nabila's expression answering Andros' question. Meanwhile, Laska was offended.
Sandra doesn't care about Laska's anger. Instead, Sandra continued to look at Andros, Brandi, and Draynes in turn. Sandra thought of something.
"Try offering this food to Andros, Brandi, or Draynes. Do not let all the food and drinks are still stored neatly in place. You took the trouble to bring it here, you asked Albert for help," said Laska while eating.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. Excessive."
About a few minutes of silence, Sandra looked at Nabila showing that she was confused. Sandra doesn't understand why she often thinks about strange things. Especially about Andros, Brandi, and Draynes.
"Andros, on the first day of school why didn't you come to class?" asked Nabila, still looking doubtful.
"I agree, why?"
Sandra spontaneously continued the question of Nabila.
***
"The new student needs to take care of a lot of things. Transfer letters, signing various requirements, and submitting documents needed by the school," Draynes answered flatly but sounded reassuring.
"All of that should be done by your parents or guardians. Regarding signing the terms, you should have taken care of all that long before your move here." Sandra said stakes while her mouth advanced a few inches.
"Sandra, yesterday we took care of the move. At first, we took care of everything, it turns out that other needs must be resolved."
"You didn't come in on Nabila..."
"What are you guys talking about?" Laska interrupted the conversation. He finished it.
"There's no other theme other than that useless talk." Laska snorted. "Sandra, why are you accusing them of being truant, do you have evidence yesterday that they were truant? My advice, instead of talking about truancy, let's talk about daily routines, personality, or something. Not even arguing like this."
