The Successor of the Family
Arnold

Arnold dropped out of his class to rest with Nilam. Some other students rarely want to be close to him especially after the incident of his brother yesterday. They were afraid that close to him and his other brother would be affected.

Arnold doesn't care about it, the most important thing here is that he's innocent. Even his brother was also just a victim of the greed of those who wanted the post. Arnold took Nilam's hand to the cafeteria. Anara was still a little feverish so the little girl had not yet entered school.

"Nilam bring stock?" arnold asked as he looked at the small bag placed on the table by Nilam.

"Yes. This auntie also brought Arnold to eat. Arnold didn't bring any supplies, did he? But later we drink it buy yes, because Nilam forgot not to bring." said Nilam.

Arnold nodded his head then walked towards a drink vending place. He ordered two glasses of fruit juice for him and Nilam. When he finished, Arnold sat down at his desk. While waiting for the drink to come, the two ate while continuing to talk.

"My dad said that in a week he's going abroad. He said all of you there want to look at your grandmother and grandfather," Nilam said.

"Yes? I also want to visit them very much. But yes, here is the school. Where now must take care of Alan and Kak Anara if the mother is also papa is busy with Abel" said Arnold told his wishes.

"Prophey, Arnold. This exam will be over soon. Grandma, Grandpa, and Brother Abel will definitely get well soon. We are all praying for their recovery" said Nilam, stroking his little friend's shoulder gently.

Arnold nodded his head understanding. After all, it is true that all he can do now is pray for the healing of those closest to him. As the first boy, he should be able to look after both his older sister and Alan.

The two ate quietly until Arnold's gaze fell on a young boy who was sitting in the corner of the canteen. The boy's eyes continued to circulate his gaze in all directions towards the canteen. This made Arnold so curious about what he saw.

"Arnold, where are you going?" ask Nilam who immediately prevented Arnold from leaving.

"We samperin she yuk. Richly he was sad that no one accompanied," said Arnold invites Nilam to approach someone he appointed.

Nilam immediately turned his gaze towards the direction designated by Arnold. Nilam's eyes rounded when he saw who the person his best friend was looking at. Nilam knew the boy very well, while Arnold who rarely mingled with others certainly did not know it.

Nilam immediately pulled Arnold's hand tightly so that his best friend sat back down. Arnold looked at his friend who seemed so worried that he was close to the boy.

"Don't get close to him. He was indeed shunned by all our students. Because he likes to steal the money of students who are here," Nilam told me slowly.

"Where is it like that? Has your money ever been stolen from her? Don't slander or accuse anyone, Nilam" Arnold said.

Nilam had never seen even his money until it was stolen by the boy. But some of his classmates always told him such things. Surely make others believe and do not want to get close to the boy.

"What are you doing here? Where daritadi dyed again. If you want to eat a message and join other friends," said Arnold reprimanded the boy.

The boy immediately straightened his body. Even his eyes looked at Arnold who was not afraid of him at all. The tall yet skinny boy stared innocently at Arnold.

Arnold immediately sat in front of a boy named Rivan Dickyandra, according to the name tag in his uniform. Seeing the innocent gaze of Rivan certainly made Arnold sure that the boy in front of him was not a thief. Moreover, it was not a plain contrived look.

"Rivan has no money and no friends. Look at the gini food to fill Rivan's stomach really," said Rivan with a smile.

Of course the speech from Rivan made Arnold and Nilam surprised. Moreover, Nilam immediately felt guilty for accusing Rivan of stealing money. If Rivan steals money, it will be used to buy food.

"Buy this food" Arnold said, handing Rivan a fifty-thousand note.

"Mother said, you can't just accept money from someone else. Especially if we do not work, yes time does not work but get free money" said Rivan with a smile.

Even Rivan also directly thrust the money back toward Arnold. Arnold was so stunned by that remark. Arnold immediately thought that Rivan could eat like the others. Moreover, from earlier Rivan continued to swallow his own saliva because he saw the others were eating his food.

"Yes, then you work with me. I'll give you money or food later. How's it?" ask Arnold enthusiastically.

"What do I do?" rivan asked with a curious look.

"Work accompanies me to eat every break" Arnold said enthusiastically.

Rivan who heard that of course immediately scrunched his forehead in astonishment. Nilam also felt a little strange about the work given by his best friend. If he eats, he can also. But all this time he had never been given the name of a wage in the form of food or money.

They share food if they do not have it. Just contact after thinking, Nilam became aware of what Arnold wanted. It turns out that Arnold who really wanted to share food or money with Rivan was using work reasons on boys. Of course it was so that Rivan would accept the food and money given by Arnold.

"Don't rush to help people. Who knows if he pretends to be innocent and has no money. Find the origin first" whispered Nilam right to Arnold's ear.

"I'm not this stupid to help people. Later after school, we can find out everything" Arnold said slowly to Nilam so that Rivan did not hear his words.
