the atmosphere felt increasingly heated between the two married couples.
amanda began to feel the signs of disaster in her domestic life.the longer her husband Albert increasingly cornered her, even no matter the existence of her as a wife in his house.
"lbert dear, what happened to you.why are you so angry with me?honey, I'm busy, but that doesn't mean I'm forgetting my responsibilities as your wife, and also towards the kids and I think I've had enough of being a good mother and wife."
"that's enough amanda!I'm getting sick of hearing all your lies."
"but albert,,"
amanda tried to interrupt her husband's words.
"shut up, I don't have time to argue with people like you!!"
albert's tone of voice grew increasingly peaked with a look full of hatred, he stood up from his seat and left amanda alone who was standing still, and was filled with turmoil.
for years his relationship with albert was not as harmonious as it used to be when they were first married.
amanda saw a lot changed from the man who pretended to love her.formerly albert always spoil her, and follow all her wishes.but as the passage of time, her husband gets harder on her.
anxiety began to eat away at amanda's heart.
"albert, I'm not gonna let you treat me as you please.the longer you're gonna dare to defy me. And I'm not gonna let you treat me like this.Albert must have had a reason behind his change of attitude and I know, I know,the only reason is that son of a bitch, yes, Santiago.he must have often influenced his father to get rid of me from their lives."
in a hurry, Samanda entered Santiago's room without permission, or even knocked on the door first.
"basic son of a bitch, you are the cause of all the problems that often arise in my household.
do you know, you're just a parasite in my life and albert's life.you should be ashamed, this old man, but you're still living clinging to your father.
why don't you just walk away from our lives, Santiago?"
with reddened eyes holding back her cries and heartache she sprayed out words that ignited the anger of her stepson.
"woman's policy*****.you should be ashamed.you forgot your mandate, my father married you just out of pity,seeing you with your children who are stranded on the streets without food, so you and your children are the parasites in my father's life.
amanda, though,don't forget that I'm the only son of albert de sanchez and you can't throw me out of my father's life.I'm no longer the little santiago you can treat as casually as you used to.you've even tortured me for yearsyears, even trying to separate me from my own real father!"
amanda's mouth was gaping hearing the sentence that loudly and boldly came out from the young man's mouth.
the child who had been considered timid and often treated harshly by him, now had dared to face him.
"you,,, you, you,,"
"quiet amanda.now, please get out of my room!!"
santiago pushed Amanda out of the door of his room, then he locked the door from the inside.Amanda's anger and his revenge against santiago was getting smoldering.
everything that happened today was beyond her expectations.
the father and son had completely cornered himself, even forgetting his capacity in the midst of the family.amanda went back up to his room with a feeling of annoyance, and unbending hatred.
***
the mega had appeared his face on the eastern horizon.right early in the morning, Santiago was up and started packing his things.
today, he and his father are going to the city.The college holiday is coming to an end, and it's time for Santiago to return to his rent in the city to continue his studies.
"good morning santiago, are you packing?if it's done, how about we have breakfast together this morning.maybe amanda has finished preparing breakfast, and after that we will leave immediately."
mr. Albert embraced his son, and took him to the dining room.from afar already smelled the delicious smell of cuisine in the kitchen.
"hallo dad, Santiago, let's have breakfast together.I've prepared a delicious breakfast for you and dad.I know you'll be back in town today.so, I get up early, and get this all ready soon."
neatly arranged dishes, and beautiful flower arrangements and delicious dishes were served on the dining table.
"where's your mother diana?"
mr. albert opened the conversation between them while pouring sausage on his plate.
"mom and regina are still sleeping dad.so, I'm the one who replaces mom's job in the kitchen.in a moment they'll wake up."
diana, Santiago, and also albert enjoyed breakfast that morning while chatting.sometimes they heard laughter due to mister albert's joke.
"diana, I leave you with me while I'm in town please take care of her and take good care of her.I know you're a good girl, and I'm sure you won't let me down."
"remain santiago, you can count on me.so finish your lecture and leave father to me you don't have to worry."
santiago put his full hope to one of his half-brothers.diana is somewhat different from his sister regina.
diana's attitude is softer than regina.and diana did not inherit her mother's arrogance.for that santiago sure that diana will take care of her father very well.?
"do you three not want to take me and Regina to breakfast together?looks like you guys are getting familiar and fresher this morning."
there was a sound of amanda coming towards the dining room.sir albert did not say a word or say hello to his wife.he did not pay attention to amanda at all.he preferred to enjoy his delicious breakfast than to say hello to Amanda.
and santiago too.
"mom, regina, are you awake?come have breakfast with us."
diana gently invited her mother to sit down to eat together.
"oh no diana, thank you.apparently I'm not having appetite this morning because there's something here that makes me lose my appetite."
the cynical sentence was again thrown with a harsh tone from amanda's mouth in front of santiago and her husband.
suddenly,,,
"braaakkk...!!!"
a flying saucer floated in front of Amanda and fell apart on the floor scattering full of bells.
amanda gasped in shock.His body trembled, her eyes glared at her husband sitting in front of her.
"albert, you've really gone too far!how dare you do this to me!!"
like a lioness, Samanda held her wrath in front of the lord albert.diana and santiago looked at each other.Diana was very nervous, she approached her mother and persuaded him.
"i'm too much you say Amanda?isn't that you're much worse than me,you woke up bad luck and did absolutely nothing to do in this house.and you came to ruin my breakfast.In front of everyone in this house you trampled on my pride as the head of the family here!!"
mr. Albert's body trembled.His hand gripped the spoon that was not conscious in his grasp since earlier.His face reddened and he looked at amanda like he wanted to swallow it.
"dad, have the father.control the emotions of the father remember hypertension father can-can relapse again well,ayo sit."
santiago approached his father holding his wrist and invited him to sit down.
diana took a glass of water and gave it to Mr. Albert.he took a deep breath.
"diana, please get me the daddy's medicine in his room desk drawer.it looks like dad's high blood is coming back."
hearing that, Samanda went straight from there leaving those who were busy taking care of Mr. albert.
"give father a deep breath, and try to calm his mind.we will delay our journey today."
"no santiago, your father is fine.soon after the father is somewhat better we will leave this afternoon.dad can not stand being in this house.dad wants to calm my mind by coming with you to the city."
breakfast was no longer continued.everything was messed up by amanda.tuan albert took his medicine, then he left the dining room .he was stopped by diana and santiago to his room and laid himself back to calm his mind.
