Is Love For Me
Stiffness
In the morning Alika was looking for her mother, she wanted a parting and would approach her father's residence. But when he knocked on his mother's door, she wasn't there.
"Auntie, did Auntie see mom?" alika asked one of the servants she met.
"Oh, mom is in Dena's room, Non," the aunt replied.
"Oh, yeah, Bi. Thanks" said Alika and she walked to Dena's room. Room much larger than his room. However, he never had a problem with it considering that Alika had only occasionally stayed there. If not asked by his grandmother he would not want to stay in this luxurious house. Her grandmother's house was much more comfortable.
Alika knocked on the door a few times, "Mom, this is Alika, Alika wants to say goodbye, Mom," said Alika who already knew if there was her mother inside.
The door opened and the mother looked there, they seemed to be opening a gift that Dena got yesterday from her friend.
"Mom, Alika wants to go home. Alika said yes, Mom. Dad asked Alika to come to Dad's house," said Alika made her mother just nod.
"Yes, be careful on the road, son," said his mother, just saying that and he went back inside to approach his stepson, looks like mom is helping Dena open so many gifts there. Alika just breathed a rough breath and then passed from the house, not forgetting she ordered an online motorcycle taxi to take her to her father's house.
Alika has been working to help her grandmother who has a meatball stall. The shop is just a roadside stall. However, quite crowded. They can get at most 500,000 net money per day. Alika's grandmother always gave Alika 200,000. every day. However, sometimes if their stalls are quiet 100,000 they do not get.
Grandma who is good at managing finances make them not lack of anything. Although they live in simplicity they can live happily, grandmother always happy Alika and buy anything Alika wants.
Alika's father and mother divorced when Alika was 5 years old and since then her father and mother left Alika at her grandmother's house, while they seek each other's jobs until they meet their soul mate a year after their divorce.
Instead of bringing Alika along with them, her parents were more focused on her new family. Grandma is the mother of Alika's mother who has been taking care of her granddaughter.
Mother Goddess has become the wife of a rich man and does not lack anything even the money to buy arguably more than enough. However, not once did the mother of the Goddess send money to her mother let alone to Alika. In fact, he only visited his mother once in a while when his mother asked, whether he was embarrassed to visit them or did not have time.
If her father has a child from his second marriage, the mother does not have a child from her husband. Her husband did not want to have any more children, he reasoned that Dena was enough for them, did not need to add any more children and with her obedience the Goddess agreed to what her husband said.
Her husband said if he did not want the affection given to Dena would be divided with his sister later.
Dena who is the favorite child of her husband makes him also make Dena his favorite child.
His love for his new family makes him forget if he previously had a child named Alika.
Alika traveled about 1 hour until she reached her father's house. With the money that Alika has, he gives the cost of online motorcycle taxi and he steps into his father's house, a simple house. However, it looks very comfortable.
"Assalamualaikum," said Alika as soon as he arrived at the door of his father's house.
"Waalaikumsalam," replied Nansi's wife Alika's father or stepmother.
"Alika, come on in, son," he said.
Nansi invited Alika to sit down and Alika just smiled and sat on the sofa in the living room. He has always been friendly with his stepson. Nensi's mother rushed in and made drinks and brought snacks for them to eat together.
"Happy birthday yes, may you live a long life and always be happy" said Nansi sincerely
"Yes, Mom. Thank you," said Alika even though Nansi is her stepmother, but now she is even more comfortable when chatting with Nansi than her real mother.
"Father to the office, later in the afternoon maybe just back," said his stepmother.
"Oh yes, I forgot," Alika replied smiling awkwardly. He could have forgotten if today was a work day, surely his father was at work.
Soon his sister came out of the room, the sister of the same father.
It was seen that his sister was carrying a small gift, "Happy birthday, sister," he said giving the gift to Alika. Alika with a smile took the gift and immediately opened it, it turned out that it was a bag for mobile phones.
"Thank you, Brother does need a bag again," said Alika made her sister smile.
"Eh? You're not in school?" alika asked, looking at her brother.
"No, Brother. School was renovated for 3 days."
"Oh," said Alika put her phone in the bag given to her sister. Although not a year old his sister gave him a gift and only a simple gift, but he felt happy to accept it.
Such a simple gift had made her happy, at least her sister gave her a gift rather than her mother did not give her any.
When he was going to lunch, his father came. He deliberately went home during lunch break, his wife had said that Alika had come.
They had lunch together, the warmth of the family happened in the house. Alika ate voraciously, after they ate, the father also gave a happy birthday gift to his daughter who was very rarely met.
"Sorry, I can only give you this" said Dad, where Dad gave me a cell phone for about 3 million rupiah.
"Thank you, Dad," Alika immediately rushed to pick up the gift. He really needs a cell phone, because his phone has not been replaced for a long time.
"Thank you, Dad," said Alika once again and immediately opened the phone, looking at the features in it.
His sister took the phone and they took a selfie together. Today Alika is so happy to be at her father's house, she did not expect her father would give her a cell phone.
"Yes, I left first yes," said the father before leaving back to the office. Alika calls her grandmother saying that she will stay at her father's house tonight and she just says yes to the permission requested by Alika.
At night they re-clothed in the living room, Alika who was very familiar with her sister continued to interfere with each other and ridicule each other if Alika has a new cell phone
Soon their father approached the two and brought a paper bag.
"Oh yes, Irsya. This is Dad has also bought this for you," he said giving the paper bag to Irsya.
The sense of warmth, novelty, affection that he felt Alika today suddenly collapsed when he saw what his father gave to his sister. Irsya got a new laptop for 7 million, but it's not her birthday. Even though Alika never bought the goods he asked if not on his birthday. Again envy again enveloped the beautiful girl's heart, the smile that had been seen on her lips now disappeared again.
"Dad, I went to the room first yes, I was sleepy," said Alika then she walked to her room. A drop of tears trickled back in the corner of his eye, he felt why he had both parents. But it feels like I have no parents. Why his parents loved his new family more than he did. Is he a despicable child born from their relationship that has ended.
Alika does not want to live like this, Alika wants to live happily with her parents, biological mother and also her biological father. Will there be happiness for Alika?
