A while ago,Mr. Frank Madison looked restless in his yard. He kept pacing back and forth, waiting for Stefany to return from school, but she hadn't come home yet. It was already late afternoon, and the sun was almost setting on the western horizon. Mr. Frank felt anxious and worried about the whereabouts of his daughter, who had not yet returned.Mrs. Emily, Mr. Frank's wife, tried to explain to her husband that Stefany was with Daniel. The teenage boy had asked Mrs. Emily for permission to take Stefany out until the evening. However, Mr. Frank was unaware of this and felt angry that no one had told him about the plan.Mr. Frank, in an angry tone, said to his wife,"Darling, why didn't you tell me earlier that Stefany was with Daniel? You know, I'm very worried and anxious about our daughter's whereabouts right now! How could you let her go like that without telling me?"Mrs. Emily, in a calm tone, replied to her husband,"I'm sorry, Darling. Daniel asked me for permission to take St

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. But, Stefany felt that Mr. Frank didn't see the other side of this story, which was the strong friendship between her and Daniel."Daniel, I hope you're strong enough to face my father's anger," she hoped in her heart.Stefany felt very hurt by her father's attitude. She felt helpl

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

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.
