Half Cinderella

Accommodated

The dawns of Sherlin and Leli return to the barn. Opening the barn door, they see Ardella still sleeping, violently they untie Ardella.

"Wake up." Sherlin kicked Ardella's leg.

Ardella woke up, slowly opening her eyes, she saw Sherlin and Leli standing in front of her.

"What else do you want to do." Ardella.

"Quick you go to the kitchen prepare breakfast, before your father comes. Be careful if you complain." Sherlin.

"Move it there." Leli pushed Ardella.

Ardella slammed into the didnding, her legs feeling cramped. He started walking towards the kitchen. His eyes and eyes felt empty. I want to cry no longer. Complaining to her father is of no use, her father will never believe in Ardella.

Morning time.

All went as usual, gathered in the dining room.

"You should start preparing for college. If there's anything you need just tell me" said Ardella's father gently.

Leli was delighted, his face showing pride for having managed to grab the attention of Ardella's father. "Thank you dad. Leli dear father." Leli said back.

Ardella glanced at Leli, with a flat face and no comment, she ate her food. This treatment is common, Ardella's heart is petrified.

Her father's decision made Ardella not continue her schooling and to reduce her spending her father decided not to hire the people in his house.

"For while Ardella helped father to manage the garden, the father's capital was not enough to pay the workers' wages, so for this year the garden will be managed on our own." Said Ardella's father.

Ardella listens to her father's words and thinks that her troubled father is making her unable to resist. Whatever happens to her, though sometimes her father is unfair to her, Ardella's affection for her father never lessens. Ardella always believed in her father, that one day his father would see the real faces of his stepmother and Leli.

Sherlin tries to find attention and be a good wife. "Mother also wants to help us improve our finances. " Holding Ardella's father's hand.

Hearing the words of his wife made Ardella's father love her even more. "Thank you, but you also have to pay attention to the children, do not get tired. " Ardella's father's smile to his wife Sherlin.

This sweet attitude I saw was disgusting. Even until now I don't know if I've been doing work at home. The woman only relied on her mouth to seduce father. Just look at the day you're gonna believe me. The inner voice of Ardella.

Ardella returned to her father's intentions. "Dad, Ardella doesn't really know how to garden."

"Later to teach, you can also learn from the workers in the garden, not all workers dad stop."

"All right, dad."

"Dad can Leli ask for money, because Leli wants to buy equipment to enter college. " Smooth Leli ink.

"Let's give it to you after you've finished eating." Father Ardella's words were soft.

"Thank you dad." Leli smiled.

****** lo now your father loves me and my mother more. Leli's inner voice.

Leli and Ardella stared at each other, as if Ardella knew what was in Leli's brain. Facing Ardella's gaze, Leli stuck out her tongue and checked Ardella.

***

Due to the remaining unsold harvest makes Ardella's father have to trade and stay in other areas, the ship schedule is only 1 week. Ardella's father, leaving with several men, started transporting goods to a car to the port.

"Dad go first Ma'am. Take care of the kids." Ardella's father told Sherlin.

"Yes Sir. Hurry home." Hugged him warmly.

"Dad, be careful on the road. Don't forget to eat. Take care of your health." Ardella was sad to see her father leaving for a while.

"Dad, don't forget to bring it." Said Leli with excitement.

***

Crek, the sound of the door was heard making Ardella avert her eyes and see her stepmother come out of the room still wearing a nightgown while yawning.

"Today you're the gardener, pick up all the coffee." Said his stepmother.

Ardella who was sweeping suddenly stopped.

"Didn't your father say you'd help, too, but now that father didn't you tell me to garden by myself."

"Today I will accompany Leli to shopping for preparation for his college entrance, anyways in the garden gk fit my skin. " Touching his skin.

"But father said, you also have to help me, besides your skin is not too smooth. If today you can't, then tomorrow we're going to garden." Ardella is against her stepmother's words.

"Lo, a lot of talk, if my mother says it's like that, you just listen aj keep going quickly to go to the garden" said Leli.

Ardella who thinks her father is not home makes her dare to fight, all this time just for the sake of her father she is still treated arbitrarily. Just for the sake of not quarreling with her father she was willing to do homework without complaining, but today enough was Ardella's patience.

Throwing a broom in front of the leli. "Who do you think you are and your mother? ." Saut Ardella is back.

Ardella's words infuriated her stepmother, her hands began to grab Ardella's long hair and pull her firmly.

"Oh,, sick."

"If you don't think I'm gonna tell your father that you're fighting me again, we'll see who your father's gonna defend." Said his stepmother.

"Try me to complain. " Ardella grabbed her stepmother's hair with all her might.

"Loof." Sherlin's voice.

"How dare you, let go of my mother." Said Leli pulling Ardella's hand.

Ardella and Sherlin are stabbed into each other, though Ardella's pain is also unwilling to release her clutches from Sherlin's hair.

Sherlin's screams caused the neighbors' attention. In Ardella's mind if continued there will only be quarrels and the neighbors will only make them an interesting spectacle and become a scorn to gossip.

Finally Ardella relented, removing her hand from Sherlin's hair, then pushing Sherlin away from her, Leli also stood on her side with all her might. Ardella left them and prepared the necessary items to go to the garden.

Starting his garden journey Ardella met a mother, she was one of his father's workers first.

"Son Ardella's going. " Said the mother.

With a smiling face Ardella said to the mother who was asking her. "You're the gardener, namboru." Namboru calls the samosir.

Saw Ardella lining up things. "alone." Her speech.

"Yes, I have a job so Ardella herself Namboru." Saut Ardella with a faint smile.

"Be careful on the road." Say that mother softly.

"Yes Namboru, Ardella left first afraid of bad luck." His hands were full of luggage.

Ardella's garden place took a while to arrive, the path so little uphill made Ardella pause, from above Ardella saw the vast blue lake while enjoying the view she encouraged herself.

Ardella you can, wait until Batara's brother comes home, he'll take you from here. Ardella.
