Students' parents have come and gone in turn. Olivia is still waiting for her mother to come at the entrance of the 1st floor near the information section of her school. She is seeing that Naomi has just arrived with her father. Her father put his arm around Naomi's shoulders and the two of them talking while walking.

Olivia's heart is a little sad to see that, she never be like that with her father. Never mind go, she has not even feel the love from a father. She doesn't know what it's like to have a father. Olivia is crying a little, her sadness reveal through her tears. But she can hide her sadness, because she still has an incredibly strong mother.

Olivia's face is still glued to the entrance but she is just lost in thought. Her gaze is blank but in her mind is still relate to the very close relationship of father and daughter. Until she doesn't know that her mother has come and stand beside her. Viona then tap Olivia's shoulder.

Olivia has shocked by her mother's actions.

"What are you thinking?" Viona is surprising to see Olivia. She's not usually like this.

Olivia then turn into her mother, smile and just shake her head. She then take her mother and take her to the class. She doesn't answer her mother's question, and just said "Let's come to my class."

"Olivia's exam results are very good, ma'am, her average score this semester is the highest in her class. Congratulations to Olivia, ma'am." Praise Ingrid.

"Thank you ma'am, Olivia get all of this because of the help from the teachers too. So Olivia can understand the material more deeply and easily to learn it." Olivia's mother smile back at that teacher after saying that.

"You're welcome, ma'am. Sorry ma'am, I want to asking, is it true that your husband is an Italian citizen? Because Olivia's last name sounds like a foreign name." This question is asked again by Ingrid, having previously been asked to Olivia.

"It is true ma'am, my ex-husband was an Italian citizen. But after he give up his responsibility towards me, he had a plane crash ma'am." Viona still smile in response to Ingrid's question.

"I am sorry for what happened, ma'am. I'm also sorry if I ask overly and I'm a little curious about your problem, but what does it mean to give up responsibility for you?" Ingrid become even more curious.

"I hope that because we are both as mothers, you will understand this problem, and I am not angry with you. Olivia is the child out of wedlock from me and that man, ma'am. He got me pregnant when we were both still in college, ma'am. We never got married. He then just left without responsibility after I tested positive for pregnancy. At that time I was afraid to returned to Indonesia, afraid to met my parents. But they still forgave me. And it was the worst moment of my life." Olivia's mother's eyes glassy over a little.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry. My deepest apologies, I'm too presumptuous to want to know more about Olivia's origins. I also don't know the story is like this and awake the sadness and maybe trauma of you in the past. I'm sorry ma'am. I don't feel well." A honest regret come out from Ingrid's mouth.

"It's okay ma'am, it's just the past and I can use it as an experience so that in the future I don't do stupid things like that again." Olivia's mother is indeed very wise.

Without them both knowing, Naomi accidentally overhears their conversations. Naomi's face full with a smile and joy.

"Now I know how to destroy Olivia."
