For Yumna

Kayla's cruelty

Kayla walked into Yumna's room, with her friendly smile she approached the princess who looked as if she was dyed at her study table.

"Honey. What's mom's son again?"

Yumna only glanced at a glance and then came back to color her picture book.

Kayla is still not giving up, she is getting closer to her daughter to see the results of the picture closer.

"Gee. Real nice. Mom's son is good at drawing."

Yumna remained unresponsive, making Kayla a little lose her temper.

Kayla picked up the bench and sat down next to Yumna. Seeing his daughter in a vexed manner.

"Yumna! Keep that book. Mama wants to talk!" Kayla has a chest.

Yumna still won't listen.

Kayla who this time had completely exhausted her patience pulled the picture book of Yumna by force and threw it on the floor violently.

The startled Yumna immediately looked at Kayla's face in fear.

Kayla glared at the princess.

"That's the consequence if you don't listen to my words."

Yumna glazed over, not expecting that the woman in front of her whom they said was the mother who gave birth to her would be rude to her.

"Understand?!!" Kayla.

Instead of answering, Yumna stood up to escape from him.

But Kayla quickly held her arm. Squeezing it to make Yumna groan in pain.

"Where are you going?"

"You want to complain to your grandparents? Huh!?"

Yumna was crying in pain.

"Stop crying or I'll break your hand." Kayla pressed harder on Yumna's arm.

Yumna immediately tried to stop her crying even though the hand was very painful.

"sickness. Release." Yumna looked at Kayla with clear eyes and a whim.

Kayla smiled faintly and finally let go of her hand.

"Sit down!"

Yumna sat back down while rubbing her aching arm.

"You understand now if you still don't think I'm not around, I'll make you sicker again."

Yumna looked down in fear.

"Behold if you tell this to your grandparents or your father. I'm gonna make this hand break." Kayla pointed at Yumna's hand.

Yumna shook her head in fear.

"Good! From now on you should respect me, be nice to me, call me mama in front of people!"

Yumna nodded obediently.

Kayla then forcefully pulled her, looking at her son's face while wiping away the tears on her cheeks and eyes violently.

"Not crying anymore. Your grandmother will know! Once again beware if you tell her this, I'll torture you more than this."

Yumna shook her head.

Not long after that, Yanti came in to see her grandson.

"You're here apparently," he said glad to see their togetherness.

"We're drawing together. Is that right, baby?" Kayla embraces and kisses the princess.

Yumna nodded slowly while continuing to color the picture book.

Yanti smiled then approached and rubbed the head of her favorite grandson.

He did not know if it turned out that the grandson was trying to endure the crying as well as the pain in his hands.

"Lohs. You're not going to Singapore?" Kevin who was in his office was shocked to see Claudia coming to him.

"There's something I want to talk to you about!" Claudia with her upset face sat on the bench in front of Kevin's desk.

"What's wrong?"

"Have you divorced that woman?” tanyanya stared at Kevin's face sharply.

Kevin took a long breath.

"No, yet" he answered briefly while looking back at the computer screen in front of him.

"Why?"

"No chance. I'm busy!" Kevin stared at the computer screen.

"Yes. I'll have a lawyer take care of it."

"Why not now?"

"What's wrong with you?" Kevin saw Claudia was upset.

Claudia surprise.

"Why are you so angry?"

Kevin took a deep breath and exhaled violently.

"I'm busy. I have a lot of work."

Claudia suddenly held the hand of her lover.

"I'm sorry. I'm just surprised to hear that you haven't taken care of your divorce with that woman."

"Who said it?"

"His mother Yumna. She told me this morning."

"I didn't know you guys were that close" he said with a cynical smile and looked back at the computer screen.

Claudia was silent.

"I cancelled my plans to visit my mom and dad in Singapore because I was shocked to hear you haven't been handling a divorce with that con woman."

"She's not a con woman." Kevin looked at Claudia.

Claudia surprise.

"Honey. What's wrong with you?"

Kevin rubbed his face rough.

"none. It's just you don't know what's going on."

"Honey. Are you starting to like that woman?" claudia asked, she remembered Kayla saying that Naya would easily take Kevin from her.

Kevin stared at Claudia.

"I just can't accept that he's been treated that way when he's sacrificed so much for Yumna."

Claudia looked even more shocked.

"You liked it. I'm sure of that" he said later with great disappointment.

Kevin did not answer, he just directly leaned his body on the chair while massaging his forehead.

"I don't know. It's just that I feel like he doesn't deserve to be treated like that after what he's been doing to my niece. That's why I didn't divorce her right away. If I did that, it would only put me just as those who could not appreciate his sacrifice. You don't know if it's not good right now. After being forcibly separated from his son he had to fight to live alone."

Claudia looked at Kevin's face in disbelief.

"Your sympathy for her, I'm sure that over time it will turn into love." Claudia stood up while glazed.

Kevin did not reply, he continued to be speechless to see Claudia leave with his extremely disappointed face.

***

After work, as usual Kevin took the time to go to Yumna's room.

Even though he knew that Yumna must have fallen asleep, Kevin would still be there just to kiss his daughter's forehead.

He walked slowly towards Yumna's bed. He slowly uncovers the blanket covering his daughter's head, but is shocked when he sees that Yumna is not sleeping, but is crying silently with tears in her eyes.

"Dear." Kevin immediately hugged the princess, as well as Yumna who immediately hugged her father tightly.

"Honey. What was? Why are you crying?" Kevin's panicking.

"Yumna wants mommy. Yumna kangen sama mama." Yumna was crying.

Kevin hugged his daughter.

***

Time had already shown midnight, but Naya still could not close her eyes, her heart agitatedly thinking about Yumna and feeling that her daughter was not doing well.

Naya then sat down and checked her phone, she then stood walking out of the room to go to the kitchen to get drinking water.

His steps came to a halt when he heard the sound of the door opening, he was shocked to see Kevin coming in while holding Yumna.

Yumna came down from the father's sling and ran towards the mother crying.

Naya immediately crouched down welcoming her daughter with a worried face.

"What's up, baby? What's going on?"

Yumna did not reply, she just kept crying hugging her mother tightly.

Naya sees Kevin, asking for an answer from him.

Kevin shook his head, he also did not know what happened to Yumna.

Naya hugged her daughter tightly to calm her down.

"Mother. Why can't I stay with my mom anymore?" yumna asked in between her cries.
