Just tell me this is crazy, her cheek just got slapped but she didn't feel any pain at all. Although his tears were watering, his heart was rumbling violently, but as much as possible he would not retaliate. Not retaliating does not mean that he believes in a natural law called karma. Big no's!
If he waits for karma to come, then what is the state of his body that may have rotted full of wounds, his life that drifted, and his shaken psychic? Hell, this isn't a fairy tale where Cinderella will meet a beautiful-looking prince, nor is it a sleeping princess fairy tale that awakens due to a handsome man's kiss. Shit, his head was about to break and right now the two people were making things even more complicated.
Trust me, she's not a rude woman. Nor does the woman like to curse, she is just disappointed at the situation. That'sthat's all. The death of his father a few days ago still leaves a gaping wound, full of sorrow and very difficult to mengikhlaskan.
"I don't want to know, you have to find that money in one day! I don't want to live on the streets!" the woman shouted out loudly, then pushed the person before her violently. "I don't want to know where you get that money from, so being a bitch is up to you. What matters is that you go home with a lot of money!"
"Until I die, I won't be a bitch to earn a penny!" the woman shouted loudly. "Have your son do it! Does he like to peddle his body to a lot of men?!"
"ALLEN!"
Patience has its limits. Alena wants to feel calm, always feeling calm even though her father is gone. Left by his father even made everything become runyam, stepmother and stepbrother instead make his life more suffering inner birth. Various pressures....how much did they say to make him suffer? Alena doesn't think it will be enough to explain it in one day.
"Mother, I only work in a simple bakery. Not working in an office that has a high salary. Appreciate, I am also a human who has a limit of tired," Alena pinta softly, her tears spilled.
"Did I care? Rodriguez died because of you, if you hadn't made him a drink, he might still be here with us!" her stepmother shouted hatefully. "Honestly, you're the culprit, right?!"
"Why did I kill my own father? I love him so much."
"Because you're jealous of me, of your step-sister. You're a fox man, you're a cunning!"
Alena was crying, not from anger. But because of the allegations made by his stepmother. In the past, when his father had not married that woman, everything was still normal. And when her father introduced her to the woman, everything seemed good as well. She was quite an understanding and loving woman, not to mention her step-sister who always made her comfortable. And when his father died, everything was inversely proportional. They become rough and like to hit, the company built by his father was lost. Miris, really sliced.
The life that used to be like the king's daughter, now looks like an ugly duckling.
"Heh, surely Rodriguez is secretly cursing you there. An unlucky bearer like you should be based like this" Stacy told her stepdaughter. He slapped Alena's face so hard that the tip of her lips hurt.
"Mother..."
"I'M NOT YOUR MOTHER!" snapped Stacy angry. "Go quickly and get some money! You stupid kid!"
...****...
"Geez, baby, what's wrong with your pretty face? He hit you again?" ask Maria, the owner of the bakery that Alena stopped by to make money. The woman touched Laura's injured lips, and made her owner grimace in pain. "Stacy is outrageous. You should have reported it to the police, let him know. Clara is like that too, same mother's son is similar!"
"I can't possibly report my mother to the police, Bi. Although the treatment was harsh, but after all he was still my family. I can't possibly destroy this family, Dad must be disappointed" Alena said.
"Your father was too blind to see Stacy's rot, you should have prevented her from marrying him."
"How can I prevent my father from achieving his happiness? Back when Dad told me about mom, his eyes were always sparkling. You look happy, and I? How could it possibly ruin my happiness."
That was the hardest part that Alena had experienced. Seeing her father's happy face made her mind split, not unhappy, but seeing her father's carefree cheerfulness when saying her relationship with Stacy made Alena slice. His father had been deceived, his company had been destroyed and now death had picked him up.
In between her helplessness, Maria always appeared to give her some encouragement. The widow of one child could always make her mind calm again. Motherly nature that is not made-up successfully makes Alena feel dejavu.
Mother...how are you in heaven?
"Auntie knows what you're going through, Al. But what's wrong if you try to fight back? You have to prove to them that you're not a weak woman who can be stepped on at will. If you keep quiet like this, it will worsen your position. Your father won't be happy there."
Alena exhaled. "Against in what way? Even I've been screaming, but they remain indifferent." Alena wiped her tears. "Ah..I better keep it in front. There may be customers."
"You're not worried, there's Bryan."
His heart skipped a beat when Bryan's name was mentioned. How long....how long has Alena been harboring feelings for the man? Alena, this feeling will never go away. Heh, Alena is feeling terrible. Can't tell Bryan about his feelings, and anyway the guy will never want to be with him.
The man is too perfect for him who is nobody. Women are poor and have nothing to be proud of. Alena felt that loving Bryan was a desire that was too grandiose, the man was too kind.
"I-I'll be there," he said stammered.
Alena approached Bryan who was busy serving several buyers. Alena helped him, making the man smile thinly. After everything was done, the buyer had left, Alena began to sigh deeply.
Bryan laughed softly. "It could be you, Al. Tired, yeah, how else? I can't possibly stand by watching my mother and you serve so many buyers. You're just the two of you, ladies."
Bryan looked at Alena, a few seconds later the man was shocked to see the wound on Alena's lips. He wanted to touch her but failed because Alena first retreated backwards.
"Don't touch, it hurts."
Bryan's gaze turned sad. "Alena, why do you keep quiet when they treat you like this? Why do you trouble yourself to fulfill their pleasure?"
"I'm too stupid, right?" ask Alena lirih. Bryan shook his head then pulled the woman into his arms. "I don't want my family to be ruined, Bry. I'm alone, they're all I've got."
"There I am, Al. There I am" said Bryan, stroking Alena's trembling back.
"Huh, sickening drama," Ronald sighed disparagingly. His eyes continued to look at the two people hugging inside the bakery, so intimate and friendly. "I don't think all this can be left alone."
"Then what are you going to do, Sir? They liked each other for a long time. But unfortunately, none of them have said anything about each other's feelings" Alan said.
"Secret love heh!" ronald laughed. "I'm going there, buying something for a Monsta Clan member I don't think is a bad idea" Ronald said, exiting the car and heading to the bakery.
Bryan took off his embrace and wiped away Alena's spilled tears. "No more crying, there's still me."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Excuse me," The voice jolted them. Looking at the handsome man standing in front of the storefront with his sharp gaze.
"Yes Sir? You want to buy something?" bryan asked kindly.
"Bryan come here for a minute!" mary shouted from behind.
"Yes" Bryan replied. "Al, would you please serve him? Mother called," she said patting Alena on the shoulder.
"Yes." Yeah."
Alena came there, approached the super handsome-faced customer kindly. "What kind of cake do you want? Let me help you find it," said Alena politely.
Ronald stared hard at Alena, suddenly his blood rippled. Damn, when viewed up close, Alena is much prettier and seductive. Ronald swore inwardly, judging Alena's closed appearance but still looking seductive in his eyes.
"Master?" call Alena politely.
"Find the most expensive cake here" said Ronald coldly.
"Ah, fine." Despite the discomfort when the man always gave a strange look, Alena tried to be indifferent. After all, there was nothing interesting about him that could attract the attention of men. "Here's the cake" said Alena thrusting the cake she had just picked.
"I want to buy 200 pieces. Can you take her to my house?"
Alena smiled, unfortunately the smile was able to make Ronald's body burn. Damnit damnit! Fucking passion!
"certain. Please record your address, and my friend will—"
"No, you have to deliver," cut Ronald cold. "You're the one who should drive him, not somebody else."
"But that's not my job" Alena said.
"Are you going to have an unimportant debate like this? Follow or this store will lose" threatened Ronald.
Alena stutters. "Ah y-yeah. I'll drive him myself."
Ronald smiled—ah no, more precisely Leo. The man smiled faintly.
Hah, the first trap has already been done.
