My originally cheerful mood went bad because of Daffin's speech. Damn, he didn't want to explain to me what his ridicule meant to me.
"Mrs Stevanoku is plain and stupid."
I don't know why there's such a meaning in Daffin's words, but I don't know what it is.
Not over my curiosity, Daffin has added to my confusion about his request. He kept asking me to come back.
"Say! Where do you want me to go back?" my murmur, getting annoyed with Daffin's riddle.
The warm caress of Daffin's hand swept across my face. "Go back to be my starfish!"
My eyeball stared at the blue Daffin bead that reflected my shadow. "What am I becoming? Pufferfish? Huh!"
"Geez!!!" furious at Daffin, his smile was so contrasted with his stiffened jaw. "You wife! It'll always be like that, but right now I feel like you've changed. The desire for revenge has turned you into someone else." - Daffin.
Is it really like that? Have I really changed? Why don't I feel it?
"I never change!" my ketus, with bulging cheeks.
Daffin's big hand cupped both of my cheeks. "Well, you never change, but ask your heart! Is this what your heart wants? Don't you look the same as Reena and her mother? Get rid of and make the lives of others suffer just to get high."
I felt like something had just hit my heart hard enough that I felt like I was having trouble breathing. My brain froze and I couldn't think clearly.
Daffin's words are so deep in my heart. Everything he said immediately struck me to the point that I could only shut up and accept that everything Daffin said was true.

"Good morning, dear," said mother, now her smile has always been an energy for me.
"Good morning, Mom." I kissed my mother's forehead, then chose to sit next to my mother.
Mom's gaze went around for then her eyes glared at me sharply. "Where's Daffin? You guys quarreling?"
I rolled my eyeballs lazily as I shrugged my shoulders, not intending to answer my mother's words. With ease I grease my bread with my favorite pineapple jam. I even played the jam like a child playing cooking.
"Lilly!" Mom's hand held my hand which would take jam. "Mother's Witch! You had a fight with Daffin?" tanyakanya.
I clucked and put the knife in my hand. "Mom, can I ask you something?" Mother nodded, but her eyes revealed doubt. "Actually, me or the Daffin you gave birth to? Why are you always worried about her? She's old, Mom, there's no need for you to worry about her." I picked up.
"What's up, honey? You don't usually behave like this? Are you jealous of Daffin?" ask mom to doubt.
"No! I'm just pissed at him, Mom." I cut my bread randomly.
"What a shame on the fate of that bread!" lontar Daffin, his footsteps further reduced his distance from me.
I don't know when he got out of the room. I immediately left him when he offended me about my change in attitude.
"Why? You want to replace him?" my cynicism, the corner of my eye glanced at Daffin who was smiling meaningfully.
"You see, Maya! Your daughter is scary. I became worried about my safety." slurping Daffin, one eye twitched at me.
Silence had filled the dining room this morning before finally om Rei came. That gentle and cheerful face of hers always made me regret not being born from her seed.
"Good morning, everybody!" greet om Rei, his eyes staring alternately at me, Daffin, and also mother. "It looks like I came at the wrong time" he said.
I stood up and walked over to Rei. "No, Om! I'm glad you came."
"Mrs Stevano!" call Daffin cold, his hands clenched tightly until I was sure the knife in his hand must have screamed.
"I'm here and I'm not deaf, Daffin!" I replied indifferently, while checking the bag carried by om Rei. "What are you carrying, Om?" my many.
"As usual, chocolate for you. You likey?" Om Rei's face reminds me of the memories from when I was in the orphanage.
I nodded my head quickly and picked up a chocolate bar then I broke the chocolate for me to share with om Rei.
"Your part, handsome Om," I said, just like I used to.
Om Rei refused the chocolate I gave him, he pushed the chocolate back towards me. "No, Lily! This part is for your father. You recall? We did this because you thought of me as your father, but now you've met your father. Then, let your father feel how delicious the chocolate gift is from you."
My eyes were hot because for the first time Rei rejected me. I could see his eyes reddened withholding cries, but om Rei was trying to hide it. She smiled happily as her gaze met with mother, until I realized that master Kafeel was in my house as well.
"Lily, my Daughter ..," shrieked Kafel as he walked over to approach me.
My footsteps retreated to get away from him, but a second later I realized that I could not run anywhere because this was the fate I had to face.
I took a deep breath before moving my legs back. "Welcome, Mr. Kafeel."
"Darling, didn't you promise to give me a chance? Why are you still acting like a stranger?" asked Mr. Kafeel, it was obvious that he was very disappointed in my attitude.
I smiled cynically. "Don't you also say that I need time? Yes, I need some time to get rid of my disappointment in you. And as for our deal, I'll still give you a chance, but that doesn't mean I'll accept you as my father."
"Lilly!" sergeant mother, he was already standing with a flash of anger in his eyes.
"I'll talk to him." Daffin had already pulled my hand and taken me to his study.
All along Daffin dragged me. Yeah, well he didn't drag me around like he used to, but he forced me to follow him. While his lips remained tightly locked until we entered his gripping study.
Daffin's big hand was still holding my wrist as his other hand locked the door of his study.
"Daffin, release!" I asked, trying to pull my hand out of Daffin's grasp.
Daffin's giant body didn't move even if I kept hitting him. He stood still and looked at me who was getting smaller because he felt intimidated.
When I started to get tired and chose to be quiet, Daffin finally let go of my hand.
I squinted my eyes as I looked at Daffin. "You're torturing me!"
"That's what you're doing to yourself, Mrs Stevano! The more you endure your pain and disappointment, the more you will be hurt. Release him! Let go of all that so that your heart may be relieved and free from all that." Both of Daffin's hands gripped my shoulders, his blue eyes focused into my bead. "Don't let anger change your color! You're a good woman, I'm sure of it. Open your heart a little, and you will find the happiness you have been looking for a long time" he said.
Tears rolled from the corner of my eye. I was so filled with Daffin's words and the confidence he had in his eyes. Oh my God, have I really become someone so evil that my conscience has been neglected? Would it be wrong for me to be so angry with the father who had rejected my presence?
Daffin grabbed me and grabbed me tightly. "No! Don't cry, Mrs Stevano! I can't watch you get hurt."
I honestly wasn't hurt. I happy. I was happy to realize that there was a good man by my side who was ready to lead me back to the right path.
