I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Juana's Right

"Bad boy, this time you can't turn him down Zio. If you do, just kill your mommy." threatened Falera.

The threat of Falera Cruise made Zionel very surprised, this was the first time his mother had said such a thing. Previously if he had refused to go on a blind date, his mother had never threatened him like that. He just grumbled all day.

"What is this Varisa, why does mommy really want me to be with her" Zionel thought curiously.

"Oh my God, what kind of speech is mom. All right, I'll do it once my work is done here. But I didn't promise to return home soon to D, I still wanted to see Heni work as the new manager at the branch company. Mommy understands, don't keep bothering me with blind dates. Come on mom, I don't want to get married because..."

"Mommy didn't tell you to marry Zio right away." cut Falera. "Mommy just wants you to at least have a lover, it's been 5 more years we've been trying to find Haena, it's enough you sacrifice your happiness for your sister. You also have to be happy, baby." he continued, sobbing.

Zionel hated hearing or seeing his mother cry. He did not want to continue the conversation because it would make his mother cry even more.

"Mom.. I have a job, I'll call mommy again. Bye mom...!" zionel said, closing his phone without listening to his mother's answer again.

"Tears again, and it will always be shown in front of me." muttered Zionel annoyed.

"Bu Presdir does not want you to suffer continuously Mr. Zio. He loves you too" Alex said.

"I know that, but every time I hear or see her crying, my heart breaks. I want to see her smile and be happy again by finding Haena."

"I'll be more trying to find the whereabouts of Miss Haena Mr. Zio."

"Thank you Lex."

Zionel's phone rang again, he looked back at the screen of his phone. He took a deep breath and threw his phone into the car seat.

"Bu Presdir has not finished talking Mr. Zio. You just cut the phone off."

"You know if it's mommy. Leave it alone, if I continue, he will continue to cry." replied Zionel.

Alex laughed, this time his phone rang.

"If it's my mommy, don't take it" Zionel ordered.

"Then I will receive one to two hours of nagging from him." replied Alex.

"You can find excuses later. Let me get to the hotel quietly."

"Okay, Mr. Zio."

Alex saw his phone and sure enough it was from Falera Cruise. He let out a long sigh, letting his phone continue to ring until it stopped on its own. He focused back on the road to his hotel.

Zaline looked at the Yoyoh maam sitting on the sofa, she did not expect to know anyone as well as the woman. Zaline feels she now has a mother. Bu Yoyoh noticed Zaline's gaze, the woman looked up and looked at Zaline.

"Did neng Zaline need anything?" ask mom Yoyoh.

Zaline shook her head. "Is mom's family not angry?"

"angry? What is neng?"

"Mom Yoyoh left them to take care of me here."

Bu Yoyoh laughed. "Mother lives with the mother's child who is already married. So no one feels left out."

"Mom... If anything happens to me, can Miss Yoyoh keep looking after my sister? Sister Vani is a very good woman, she is not the woman people say."

"Neng Zaline said what the hell, neng must be fine. If neng Zaline does not want to be with neng Vani anymore, surely neng Vani does not want to live anymore. So don't think no. Anyway neng Zaline must have confidence will be cured."

Zaline nodded her head. "I was just wondering, Mom."

"It can't be that dreamy, no good."

"Sorry ma'am."

"Have not thought much, neng Zaline must have a calm mind. The doctor also said the operation must have been very successful. Neng Zaline will be back to health like she was."

"Mom. said the care sister in first grade will be better than before. So, if you're tired and want to go home is okay, I'm fine alone."

Zaline smiled. "I'm not expelling at all, just worried about Mom Yoyoh's health."

Bu Yoyoh laughed. "Zaline neng disease is not contagious, so how can the mother get sick. Hais is gone, rest again. Ms. Yoyoh wants to take a shower first, here it's quieter if you take a shower. Good thing I brought a change of clothes."

"May I take a shower too?"

"Let's mom Yoyoh who helps with body wash, don't take a shower as usual. Neng remained beautiful even though she didn't take a shower."

Zaline finally laughed. "Mom Yoyoh could have, thank you ma'am."

"Oh Allah, ma'am Yoyoh can't count the number of times neng Zaline and neng Vani say thank you." she said as she set foot into the bathroom.

Zaline smiled again, she looked up at the sky of the hospital. His gaze was blank, he had to help his brother find money to pay his debt. He felt that the man who came this morning was not a good man. He didn't want his brother to be tied to a man like that.

Stevani works but his mind drifts somewhere, still thinking about how to get money. If this night ends it means that the time of the agreement is only 4 days away.

"Van...! Hey...!" call Juana her coworker.

"Oh yes, what's wrong?" ask Stevani.

"God what are you thinking, miss? You didn't hear me say what I was?"

Stevani shook her head. "Sorry Jua."

"I asked how is your sister?"

"Praise God it's stable, he'll do the operation the day after tomorrow."

"Thankfully..I'm sorry to ask, where did you get the operating money?"

"Mas Dani. he helped me lend me the money. Jua.... How was the first time you drank?" ask Stevani.

Juana frowned. "Drink? mean alcohol?"

Stevani nodded.

"What do you want to do to ask like that?" ask Juana curiously.

"I want to make more money, Dani gave me 5 days to return the money. I can't think anymore how to get that quick money."

"Is that guy not sane? It's not helping but blackmailing. Wait, did he deliberately set you up like this?"

Stevani nodded sadly.

"It's true that crazy guy, I'm going to beat him to a pulp" Juana said.

"You're a woman not a thug" Stevani said with a laugh.

"I'm so upset to hear that Van, I think he really did become an angel for you. I almost adored him, but he was taking advantage of the situation. The man really can't accept rejection, rich men are always at will." Juana's nagging made Stevani laugh more.

Finally he was able to let go of the sadness of his heart after getting entertainment from his coworkers.

"I'm not sure you can drink the van. The first time I ventured to do that, I immediately vomited after drinking one glass. But after that I got used to it, I could even drink a bottle. But you also have to be ready to be harassed, the man accompanied by a drink will touch us at will." said Juana.

As soon as Stevani paled, that was what he was so afraid of. Seeing Stevani's facial expression made Juana laugh.

"I know you won't be able to do it. Don't think about doing it if you can't, it will torture yourself." Juana continued.

"Then what should I do Jua?" stevani asked sadly.

"Unless you want to sell your chastity, you can get the money in one night." Juana's teasing made Stevani go straight.
