Me, Mom with(out) Daddy (COMPLETE- ENGLISH)

8. School Trip

Anna Grace

"Bye mommy" Alya waved her hands to mommy.

I hold Alya hands and walked her to her class.

"Anna.. I'm afraid.."

"What are you afraid for?"

"My friends will be scared with me and maybe they won't play again with me.. The first time I played with them then I fall until mom take me to the hospital.. They won't play again with me."

I stop my step and looking at Alya.

"They will play again with you.. You're not a monster, so why they have to scared of you?"

"Are you sure about that?" she asked.

"Yeah.. beside that.. I'm your sister. I will not let anybody to hurt you.. They will facing me if they won't play with you.." I winked my eyes. I see her chuckles and closed her mouth.

"Thank you Anna.. for being my sister.. I'm really happy for that." She hugged me.

"Me too.. I'm happy that you're my sister too.. That's you classroom.. Don't go until I get there to pick you up, okay?"

"Hm!" She nodded. "I promise and will not broke it again." She smile.

I waved her and walked to my class. I sighed and see they start talking 'Girl without daddy' again. But I don't mind it, beside that I knew that I have daddy, I just not yet meet him. I sit on my seat.

Mrs. Julian came to the class, and we greet her as usually we did every morning.

"Kids.. We have a big plan to next months. In the beginning next months, we have a school trip! We are going to visit two museum, history and art museum in Los Angeles." I almost unbelieve what Mrs. Julian said. Los Angeles? What?!

I lifted up my hands.

"Yes Anna, any question?"

"Are we really going to Los Angeles?"

"Yes.. our school have the invitation for visit museum there and all the accomodate will held by the sponsor from owner of our school and this is the second year that we did the school trip like this. Are you excited to go?"

"Yessss!" All classes scream out loud.

I smile happily. Yes! I will go to the same place with my daddy. Can I meet him there?

Ariella Grace

"Hi baby!" I kiss Alya dan Anna. I hold her beside me and walked to our car.

"Mom... I have to give you this letter. An announcement from school about school trip mom. Can I go with my friends?"

"Oh.. of course you can.. school trip always be fun!"

"Can I go with you too Anna?" asked Alya in the back seat of the car.

"I wish I can take you too Alya, but when you're in the primary school you will go there too. Mrs. Julian said that the school trip will be held every year for the first grade."

"Okay... Wait a minutes.. I will open up the envelope.." I read the announcement. I read again and again and see Los Angeles as the place where they will go for school trip. No.. not Los Angeles!

"You can't go Anna." I said seriously facing her while she suddenly seems upset.

"Mom.. you said before I can go there.. why mom? I want to go there.. Please let me..I will visiting two museum mom.." I see her begging.

"You're not going anywhere." I said and drive the car to go home. She still silent until we arrived at home.

I see Anna running and get upstairs while Alya looking at me.

"Mom.. why you didn't let Anna go with her friends? So when I was in the first grade, you will not allowed me to go to school trip too?"

"Alya.. you won't understand.. mommy just don't want anything happen with your sister."

"You said before that she will have fun with her friends, what should be worried for? Mrs Julian and other teacher will go too mom.. She told me.. Why you don't want her to go there? If I was Anna, I would be very sad." Alya gave her sad expression on her face.

Honestly, I was afraid if Anna meet him. Why should I worried for, even I never told about it. I was too paranoid now.

"Alright.. come.. we go upstairs and meet your sister."

"You will let her go, will you?" I smile and nodded.

"Thank you mommy!" she hugged me.

"Why are you thanks for something that should be your sister do honey?"

"Anna is everything for me.. If Anna happy then I will be more happy mom.. and I'm thank you for that." I caress her cheek.

"How could 5 years old girl said these?"

"I don't know" she smile and I start to tickling her.

"Come on..." I hold her hands. I open the door and see Anna laid down on her bed. I sit beside her and Alya sit on the other side.

"Anna... Do you want to go there?" I asked and I see she moved slowly looking at me and nodded.

"I was just worried.. That place is far away from here.. did you know that?" and she nodded again.

"I never ever have a far distance from you and it's scared me, it makes me worried too. Will you promise me one thing?"

"Promise you what?"

"Do as your teacher told? stick with the rules and schedules, behave nicely and be a good girl."

"I will mom.. If you let me go." she looking at me.

"Yes... You can go to school trip."

"Mommmmmm! Are you serious?"

"Yeayyyy!" Alya clapping her hands.

"Yes honey.. Alya has convience me about this." I winked my eyes to Alya.

"Thank you Alya, Thank you mommy!" she hug Alya then hug me tightly.

I sighed, I should stop worried too much about this.
