JIA 2 - CCTV

Arriving at the school, Leon and Arini immediately rushed towards the teacher's room. Incidentally, Leon and Arini were immediately greeted by Sinta.

Sinta is Jasmine's homeroom teacher and the daughter-in-law of the school's owner.

Leon and Arini sit opposite Sinta. Both of them immediately expressed their intentions and purpose in coming here.

"Look, Miss Sinta. My wife and I came because there was a need with the school." Leon just went straight to the point. "Yesterday, our daughter Jasmine was physically bullied by her friends."

Sinta just shut up. He stared flatly at the couple sitting in front of him.

"Jasmine was bullied because she said I was broke, and then Jasmine was no longer eligible for school here. What school is this, Mom? Should only the rich be entitled to school here?" Leon started to get emotional. His tone was already somewhat elevated.

"Calm down, Leon" whispered Arini, holding Leon's hand on his thigh. Leon can't be emotional here.

"And I need to reiterate, I am not bankrupt, Ms. Sinta. Me and my family moved to a bigger and more luxurious house" Leon said after his anger subsided.

"Sorry, Mrs Leon. This is my negligence as a teacher. I promise there will be no more bullying like yesterday. I will advise children not to be anarchist" Sinta said in a low tone.

From his voice, it sounded like regret. But what about his heart? I don't know. Leon and Arini do not have a sixth sense to read people's hearts.

"Actually this practice has been going on for a long time. At first verbally, but for a long time playing physically. Just try Bu Sinta imagine, what if the one in the bully is a mother's child? As parents, are you not sad?" Now Arini started to take a voice.

Leon stared intently at Sinta. "Kids know where Jasmine isn't Arini's real child, Mom? So about my wife a lot of kids know where? And lastly, the bird news that I'm broke who spread it?" asked Leon with a cynical smile.

Sinta clenched her fists under the table. He did not accept being humiliated like this. But how else? He is also wrong. He's the one who's been pumping the kids.

"Sorry, it was our negligence as teachers" Sinta said softly.

Oh, come! Us or me, Sinta? Who spread the news is you one, why are we? Embarrassed to admit the facts or what? Leon said in his heart.

"If until bullying still happens in this school, you will not remain silent. We will report to the authorities" Leon said seriously.

"I make sure there are no more bullying here," replied Sinta confidently.

After being satisfied to issue his uneg-uneg to Sinta, Leon and Arini leave.

But they both did not go home. They stopped by an electronics store to buy advanced CCTV.

Leon decides to install some CCTV in Jasmine's body. So that if the little girl had another bullying, they had accurate evidence.

"Are you sure you're gonna put this thing on Jasmine's body? There are no side effects if it is placed on the body?" arini asked while looking at the two magic CCTVs.

"No, Honey. It's safe, really. There is a reading in the box. This is indeed in a special design to be used on the body" explained Leon.

Arini nodded her head.

"We must know, Sinta is right to keep his promise or not" Leon said while focusing on driving.

"Yes. Don't let him lie to us."

"You see no, the face he had felt once. It looked like a boiled crab," Leon said with a chuckle.

"Maybe he's ashamed his actions caught us. Uh, but by the way why were you so arrogant. I'm moving into a wider house."

"We're moving to a bigger house, honey. Where's the fault?" asked Leon innocently.

"Yes, it is. But that's Mama Papa's house, Leon! Not our home" Arini protested.

"It's important we move there" Leon said, not to lose.

"Yes, yeah, yeah. You're right" Arini said in the end.

Instead of arguing the end, Arini better give up.

Jasmine is back in school today. He was fitted with two CCTVs by his father and mother. One as a bracelet and one as a ring.

Both tools are very small, but able to capture objects very accurately. Images and sounds can be recorded clearly. Because the shape is very small, then no one is aware if it is CCTV. Ordinary people would think that it was a jewel. Not CCTV.

Jasmine had already been informed by Arini and Leon. The way it works is easy, if anyone commits bullying on him, he just simply points the camera at those who committed the crime.

Fortunately, today there is no more bullying. Sinta really kept her promise. Although all the children were still not friendly to Jasmine, but at least they were just indifferent to Leon and Arini's child. They no longer do the prank.

"How did it go, son?" leon asked as he and Jasmine were already in the car. Yes, today Leon picked Jasmine up to school, because Arini was at work.

"Faith, Pa. They are no longer naughty," Jasmine said with a cheerful smile.

"Thank God." Leon breathed a sigh of relief. "But you have to keep that thing, son. Just in case. If for example they are naughty again, you have to immediately point the camera at them," said Leon.

Jasmine nodded in understanding. "Ready, Pa."

"Want to buy lunch outside or just eat at home?" ask Leon while focusing on driving his car.

"What cooking house, Pa?"

"Hehe... Papa doesn't know."

"You want a burger, Pa?" jasmine asked as she looked towards Leon.

"Can. Now we're gonna buy a burger."

"Asi!" Jasmine punched out the air so excitedly.

How not to be excited, Jasmine loves that one food. Yes, even though he actually likes all the food. The burger he likes best.

After picking up Jasmine from school, Leon returns to work.

The man's mind is tangled. The state of the company did not improve.

Their sales were stable, but the profits from the sales were not necessarily able to cover the money in Reza's corruption.

Leon's phone is vibrating. There's a message coming in from Arini.

Arini

How's Jasmine doing, Leon?

Is he still in the bully?

Leon

No, Honey.

Sinta kept her promise.

Arini

Mercifully.

I can work quietly.

Leon

Good luck, honey.

I love you.

Arini

I love you too.
