Half Cinderella

Bickering

The sun was dim as the sky began to darken down the path of the tread into a step, a lonely journey and the sound of footsteps accompanying the journey of Ardella.

"Sister." Voice of a Child.

Waving Niko's hand ran over and hugged Ardella. Niko is a half-brother of different mothers, although different mothers, Ardella is very fond of her sister, on the contrary Niko is also affectionate towards Ardella.

"Sister, I'm home. I bring a lot of food, Niko has set aside a sister" Niko smiled.

Ardella smiled at her sister's behavior, she stroked Niko's head. "Thank you Niko." Pinching gavel.

They now go home together with Niko's hand. Ardella was so happy to hear that her father had come home.

Arriving at the house Ardella gave a smile to her father, but her father's expression showed anger, instead of returning Ardella's smile even her father immediately shouted at Ardella.

"You are now the son of a dissident!. Make your mother cry." Jerky Dad.

With a puzzled face Ardella asked what her father meant, she made her stepmother cry.

"I'm sorry to your mother." Said Ardella's father loudly.

"What do you mean, where was my fault that I had to apologize to that woman. Ardella doesn't feel wrong." Denying Ardella.

Ardella's father began to lift his bread and told Ardella to stand firm.

"Dad heard your behavior during my time away, even the neighbors also saw your disrespectful treatment of your mother." said Ardella's father who had been affected by Sherlin's words and the words of a neighbor who did not know at all the real events.

"Why don't you listen to Ardella's explanation, why it's only the woman and the neighbors you hear. Just once Dad asked Ardella what happened." Ardella's words began to glaze over.

"Dad doesn't need your explanation, no matter what your mother does, you'll definitely vilify your mother." Ardella's father is completely unaffected by Ardella's words.

"One more time I tell you to apologize to your mother. Otherwise I'll beat you up until you agree to apologize." Said Ardella's father.

"Hit it, I'd rather be beaten than apologize to the wicked woman." Ardella who was not at all afraid of being beaten by her father.

Ardella was silent and just looking at her stepmother with a normal face, her father started hitting her feet.

Plat,,. One punch on Ardella's leg. "No need to apologize." Said Ardella's father.

Ardella's father is increasingly upset at seeing the stubborn Ardella. Lifting back his bread incessantly he hit Ardella's leg, until Ardella's leg looked blue red, spitting out a little blood.

Ardella stood up trembling, the pain almost to her bones, she closed her eyes so as not to cry.

Sherlin pretended to be Ardella. "Already sir, enough is enough. Just hit me instead." His words held Ardella's father's hand.

Not listening to Sherlin, Ardella's father still hits Ardella's leg, until Ardella gives up and says sorry.

"So it's my fault I can't be a good mother to Ardella." Stepmom Ardella cries against Ardella's father.

"The love of Ardella's father, she must have felt pain." Leli.

"Look. How your mother and brother defended you. But you still hate them for no reason." Ardella's father is attractive and tells Ardella to look at her stepmother's collar.

Ardella turned her face away, not speaking at all.

The sweet word of his stepmother and Leli is not real. It is said that they were happy to see Ardella beaten.

But not with Niko's half-sister Ardella. She cried to see her brother beaten. "Don't hit brother." Niko said crying and tugging at her father's hand.

When beaten Ardella did not move in the slightest. Already could not bear the pain of tears Ardella fell, still he did not say a word.

Her father who saw Ardella stubbornly stopped hitting her. "Before you apologize you can't eat." Said Ardella's father angrily throwing rattan in front of Ardella while leaving Ardella alone.

Ardella's feet were so bruised from being beaten by her father that she walked on her fists. Walk in with your foot. Ardella passed by Leli who was standing in front of her.

"Haha." Leli's little laugh. "*****, lo. pity it, it must have hurt." Leli stuck out her tongue and left Ardella alone.

With a cry Ardella sought an ointment to treat her leg. Dabbed ointment slowly over the wound, it felt sore, Ardella cried with sobbing, her crying voice was held so as not to cause sound.

"Hiks. It hurts." Ardella said to herself.

Until when I have to endure this. Why no one loves me. Why did everyone I loved leave me. What wrong. Ardella.

Throughout the day Ardella did not eat, she began to feel dizzy, her head began to hurt until her footsteps were shaken.

Brukkk, Ardella fell in the middle room, Niko who saw the state of Ardella was surprised to see her brother fell, Niko cried and called her father.

Niko ran to find her father. "Dad, brother fell." Niko was crying hard.

Ardella's father rushed to see her, her daughter's body was removed in a panic and taken to a nearby health center, where doctors said Ardella had fainted from dehydration and lack of food intake. Ardella's father fell silent and regretted punishing her, after Ardella woke up, seeing her father standing next to her with some food.

Give some food to Ardella. "Eat first. After the new meal we go home." Said Ardella's father.

"Good dad." Ardella's voice was slow.

Ardella smiled as she ate the food her father had given her. Such little attention made Ardella forget that her father had hit her.

Dad's worried about me, he still loves me. Ardella.

Ardella sees her father waiting for her to eat. "Dad, I'm done eating." Gentle Ardella.

The eyes of his father look there is sadness when he saw Ardella was sick. "I'll take your medicine and pay the hospital bills. Wait here a minute, I'll be back soon. " Say father Ardella softly.

After Ardella returned from the puskesmas, her stepmother immediately approached Ardella and hugged her.

"I'm sorry, son." Her stepmother was sad.

Ardella let the attitude of her stepmother, she did not want to add to her father's mind and also did not want to argue anymore.

Dinner is available at the dinner table. The atmosphere of the dinner was calm, they started eating food.

Ardella's father began advising Ardella not to repeat her mistake again and be kind to her stepmother, hearing that Ardella did not resist or agree with her father's words.

The notes and poems that Ardella wrote in her diary are an expression of her feelings and a place to pour out her heart.

I beat my grief in the hope that a speck of sorrow light enveloped my life, a night of solitude, a vast world made me invisible, although all the worlds became my enemies still would not make me weak
