Aretta & Secrets

Aretta New version

When I got home and went up the stairs, I heard the sound of the door closing fast. That's Mama and it looks like today she's not going home because she left home late enough. I didn't want to bother about it and decided to immediately pick up the paper and pen to realize the plan about the growth of the new version of Aretta.

Planning to be new Aretta's

I wrote it on paper and I giggled at my silly behavior. This plan will be the biggest change of my life.

Get out of the house.

This is the first step I have to take because only in that way can I realize everything.

Do something or find someone who can make you happy.

Solve all problems.

Those were the three things I had to do once my freedom got. But the most important point is at number three. I have to find a way to break free from the Lord, because after all that man is very annoying. He's the guilty one, but I'm the one suffering, isn't that unfair.

Finish decorating I immediately put the paper behind the headboard of the bed, it will not be visible to anyone but can be seen by me.

I'll be ready for bed when I hear the door slamming again. This time it is not Mama because the sound produced from the dings of Mama I have memorized outside the head. The next sound was the swift galloping footsteps climbing the stairs.

"Aretta!" it was Gio's voice shouting until his voice echoed. Fortunately Mama was gone, if she was still at home I would definitely get a tantrum from her too.

"Yes," I answered and coincided with it my bedroom door opened and I saw Gio who came with a hardened facial expression. But when I saw him, his face turned soft. I don't know if he's worried about me.

"Where are you from?" tanyakanya. He was already preparing to interrogate me while walking and sitting in my study chair.

"So there was a little problem fitting to go home so I have to walk, I also had time to stray eat it took up to five hours to get home," I explained.

"Gue thought you were okay because the moment I picked up, I did not find you at school. Why do you mess up anyway," he lamented, "gue even nyariin lo bookstore until around the city."

My smile instantly flashed when I knew Gio was trying to find me. It turned out that he was not just nonsense when he said he would change and I am grateful for that. But there seems to be something I forgot.

"Bookshop," heed. Problem is, I work at that place.

"Lo don't worry. Right now I stopped by the shopkeeper said that you have business and you can't work." That must be Aidan. I felt guilty for prejudging him but now that my mind was clear I realized that he had to replace Omanya guarding the shop when I was stuck there.

"Gio," call me slowly. I wanted to tell him about my meeting with Papa. He has changed and he deserves to be involved in this meeting.

"Gue met Papa" I said. Hiding this matter will only end in a debate between me and him. So telling him early is a wise choice.

"What did you just say?" yells. He doesn't seem to believe my words.

"Gue..'ve met Papa."

I finally told you all the stories that Papa told me. About the reasons that made him leave and also about why he never appeared in front of us. It seems I can already accept the injustice because now I am telling stories as if it is not a problem, but when I turn to Gio, the man just stays in place even to the point of not making his voice.

"Finally.." he said at the end. Hearing if Mama was having an affair did not make her expression disappointed, it seemed Gio could already foresee that.

"Lo's gonna call Papa again, right? You have to call and we have to see Papa together. He owes us a lot of stories, "gio exclaimed with enthusiasm.

I'm nodding. Gio's right, Papa does have a lot of explanatory debt on us. Even though she left because of Mama's mistake but still her actions were unjustified. I thrust out the business card that Papa gave Gio, the man immediately saved his number to his smart phone. Now he can smile brightly and it seems that this time he really feels relieved.

"Do you still not believe in me?" it asked and it completely destroyed the mellow atmosphere that had been created.

"Please Gio, it's only been one day" I said, laughing. It seems like he really has changed because even though I act annoying he still isn't as angry as he used to be.

"OKAY. I still have a lot of strength to show you that I have really changed," he said with a mischievous smile and also stepped out of my room.

It turns out that being the new version of Aretta is not as easy as you think. There are a lot of habits that I have to get rid of like always having breakfast. Things that I think are very difficult for me to do because all this time I have always ignored good habits. To be honest, I have to keep nausea at bay every time the food goes into my mouth, but I have to be able to hold it back because it's the first step to change.

Now I'm sitting at the same table as Gio and we're also chewing cereal and milk for breakfast this morning. Soy milk for me and regular milk for her. After she found out that I was desperately keeping my body in shape, Gio became more attentive by providing me with low-calorie food.

There was no conversation between us because Mama was having breakfast together.

"Good morning dear." He greeted Gio and blatantly ignored me. I don't feel jealous because this has happened a lot but it seems like it was the first time Gio had experienced it and he looked lazy.

"Yes Ma" he said. She seemed to be holding back emotions because Mama couldn't tell if Gio was allied with me now.

But as soon as Mama left the house, the first thing she did was nag about the unfair treatment Mama gave me.

"Why are you quiet anyway. You should have protested when you were treated unfairly just like before." a bowl of cereal was almost turned upside down due to its wild movements, but I immediately calmed it down before there was chaos that ended with me having to clean it up.

This kind of abandonment was not just once twice and Mama did deliberately do that to piss me off. I do not want to be provoked by the action given by Mama if the edges even I am scolded.
