MasukThe next day at school,Daniel, Hugo, and Filbert anxiously awaited news from Marsha and Caroline. They hoped Stefany was feeling better after the visit.When the recess bell rang, Marsha and Caroline approached them on the school field. Both of their faces looked cheerful, giving Daniel and the others hope."How is Stefany?" Daniel asked with a hopeful tone.Caroline smiled."She was very happy with our visit and the messages from you all. Stefany isn't sick; she's just been forbidden from leaving the house by her father as a punishment."Daniel sighed in relief, although he felt a bit angry at Mr. Frank."So she's okay?"Marsha nodded."Yes, Stefany is fine. She just feels lonely because she can't meet with us. But she was very touched by your message, Daniel. Stefany really misses you."Daniel felt his heart warm. "I miss Stefany very much too. I hope she can return to school soon."Hugo patted Daniel on the back."She will return. We just need to be patient and continue to support
As the school bell rang signaling the end of today's lessons, Daniel, Hugo, and Filbert stood under a large tree in the corner of the schoolyard with Marsha and Caroline. They gathered to discuss plans to visit Stefany at her house. Everyone seemed eager to see how their friend was doing.However, before they started walking, Marsha spoke. "You know, there is one problem we have to consider. Stefany's father, Mr. Frank, doesn't like Stefany being friends with boys. This could be a problem if you guys come along."Daniel looked anxious. "I remember that. Stefany once told me. I don't want to make the situation more difficult for her."Hugo nodded in agreement. "Yes, we don't want to add to the problem. Maybe it's better if only Marsha and Caroline go."Filbert added, "We can wait nearby, while playing."Marsha and Caroline looked at each other, then nodded. "Alright, we'll go," Caroline said. "We will convey the messages from you."Daniel smiled in relief. "Thank you, Marsha, Caroline.
A bright morning greeted the village of Bibury, Cotswolds, England. The sun rose brilliantly, radiating warm rays that enhanced the surrounding scenery. Today, Daniel was so excited to go to school because he couldn't wait to meet his best friend, Stefany.Daniel was in such a hurry that he even devoured his breakfast, a piece of peanut butter pie, quickly. His mother, Mrs. Miriam, then gently reprimanded him."Daniel, take it easy. Eat calmly, don't rush so much," his mother exclaimed."Sorry, Mommy. I'm just very excited to meet Stefany today."However, Mr. Carlos, Daniel's father, gave his son advice before going to school."Daniel, remember to be careful and wise in associating with Stefany. The Madison family has a bad reputation in this village," the father cautioned."Don't worry, Daddy. I know how to take care of myself," he replied to Mr. Carlos.In stark contrast to his father's attitude, Grandpa John and Grandma Sophia even supported Daniel to be friends and try to get clos
After trying to talk to Mr. Frank, Mrs. Emily felt frustrated and sad. She had hoped her husband would listen to her concerns about the restrictions imposed on Stefany, but unfortunately, her efforts failed.After giving Mr. Frank a cup of coffee, Mrs. Emily tried again to discuss the matter. With a gentle voice, she said,"Darling, I understand your worries about Stefany. But we also have to give her the opportunity to live her life outside the house. She needs to study hard. Especially since she has to skip school for a week. Stefany will miss the subjects."Mr. Frank looked at his wife with a sharp gaze."I've already said, Emily. Stefany is not allowed to leave the house for a week! I don't want her to be influenced by Daniel out there."Mrs. Emily felt desperate."But Darling, Stefany needs to experience things outside the house. She needs to learn how to interact with others, face challenges, and make her own decisions. We can't keep restricting her like this. Besides, Daniel i
While Mr. Frank was angry with his daughter, Stefany, and forbade her from leaving the house for a week, Mrs. Emily, Stefany's mother, was actually in front of her daughter's bedroom door and heard all the words spoken by her husband. Her heart was broken to see her daughter being scolded.With a heavy heart, Mrs. Emily waited for Mr. Frank to exit Stefany's room before entering the room. The bedroom door was slammed shut loudly by her husband, echoing throughout the house.After knowing that her husband had left their daughter's room, Mrs. Emily entered Stefany's room with a heavy heart.

Inside her room, Stefany sat alone on the edge of her bed. Her face was wet with tears that flowed incessantly. The sound of her sobbing filled the room, reflecting deep sadness and despair. She felt very sorry for her best friend, Daniel, who had just been scolded by her father, Mr. Frank.Stefany felt her heart break seeing how harshly Mr. Frank scolded Daniel. She understood very well that her friend didn't mean to put her in danger or break any rules. They just wanted to spend time together and enjoy the beautiful moments on the hill behind the school, until the late afternoon.However, Mr. Frank didn't understand or accept that explanation. He was too protective and worried about his daughter's safety.
