It turns out I'm on my own...

Chapter 11: Brother Salsa

Puput was on leave for a few days, he was forced to return home, after receiving news that his father had fallen ill.

Riko was also not seen since noon, it made Vania alone.

Vania was outside the room, closing her eyes and letting the night wind blow her face.

Suddenly, Vania's tears hatch considering that she did not get a chance to explain to Angelina, that she was actually innocent

"You must be strong, Vania, strong."

Vania wiped her tears and smiled.

"Vania you can. Vania you're strong"

Drrttt drrttt....

Vania looked at her phone...

"Yes brother?"

"-----"

"On Cempaka street block 3."

"-----"

Vania let out a long sigh, before long a car entered the mess page.

Vania made sure there were no tears left, before she went down to meet Salsa.

Yeah, the person who just called Vania was Salsa.

Salsa comes to meet with Vania.

"Hi brother.." Greet Vania with a smile hoping that Salsa will not know the sadness she feels most.

However, Salsa was not her name if she could be lied to by Vania.

"Vania, what happened to you?"

"I'm fine. I'm fine."

"These bruises don't say that you're okay." Salsa said while touching Vania's lips.

"It's okay, brother."

"Vania.."

"It's because I'm less careful"

"What's this really why?"

"Yes, after the store closed I had a chance to play with Puput, then I accidentally hit a vase and I fell."

"You sure?"

Salsa styled Vania sharply, because she knew that Vania was hiding something.

"I'm sure, and what brought you here?"

"Huft, I'm tired of being home"

"Why?" Ask Vania.

"Yes, how can I feel at home in a temporary house, Mama always invites her friends to come and party until late at night."

"I'm so tired of telling you to change your lifestyle, but I think you're a person who's hard enough to realize that life isn't as luxurious as life used to be."

Vania fell silent, she did not know what to talk about.

"Vania, may I spend the night in this place?"

"Ha?, are you sure you're going to live in a small, shabby place like this?"

"It's like you don't know your brother." Salsa said with a smile.

"Alright, on condition that you make me dinner."

"Talking about dinner, brother has brought pete special fried rice for both of us." Say Salsa while showing two packs of fried rice.

"Priest.nyam..."

Both of them enjoyed the warm meal.

"Oh yeah, Mama said you've been friends with your real mother." Salsa speech that makes Vania stop eating and take water and drink it.

"Yes, I've met my real mother."

"So, what made you stay here and not live with your real mother?"

Vania is silent, apparently her former foster mother did not tell Salsa that Vania had previously lived with Angelina.

"Yes, my real mother already has a family of her own, so it felt really strange when I, who had never met my real mother, suddenly showed up and lived in the middle of her family."

"Well, what's wrong, Mama said that the husband of your biological mother is a very successful businessman. Mama said that your life would be more secure."

Vania just smiled wryly hearing that.

"Vania, are you okay why do you look dreamy?"

"It's okay, brother."Vania said with a smile.

After finishing the meal, Salsa helps Vania with her abandoned college assignments for a few days.

"Tumben really, your college work to stack so much?" Ask Salsa.

"Yes, how else. Now I have to work because money won't come to me alone, hehe.."

"Uh, you are.." Salsa pinched Vania's cheek out of anxiety.

After the lecture was over, Vania invited Salsa to take a break.

Vania had already entered the dream world. But Salsa, because this was her first time sleeping without AC. Of course, it was a little difficult for Salsa to be able to sleep as fast as Vania.

Tring ...!!

A message came in from Vania's phone. At first, Salsa let it go but as Vania's phone kept ringing, it signaled an incoming message. The soul of Salsa kepo can no longer be muted.

Salsa picked up Vania's phone because they were used to seeing each other's phones.

Salsa was of course very surprised when reading the message in the notification of Vania's phone.

A series of messages sent by the mother containing a request for money.

Salsa instantly opened the conversation and read the previous conversation.

Vania is the type of person who does not delete junk messages or files on his phone unless there is a warning that his phone should be cleaned immediately.

Salsa's tears trickled down as she read one by one the message that the Mama had sent to Vania.

Salsa's view then turned to a message from Cantika and Kanaya, which contained an apology, for not being able to help Vania when Vania would be harassed by her father.

"So, before this Vania had lived with her biological mother's family. Vania almost harassed? and why is Vania here now?, was Vania expelled by her family?"

Salsa who was still trying to battle with her own thoughts was shocked when she saw the notification of the message sent by the same Mama.

What's the message?

Of course the warning that Vania must return the favor for what her family has given.

Her morning..

"You want to go to college?" salsa asked as Vania had just come out of the bathroom and was seen reading messages that went into her phone.

"Yes, I've had a lot of time off." said Vania unconsciously because she was focusing on the message from Erin.

"Why?"

"Emmmmm...." Vania looks nervous.

"Vania.."

"I, I'm so focused on work that I rarely go to college. Actually not off one full day, just sometimes I follow one or two subjects only." Vania said with a smile.

Salsa walks over to Vania who will make a transfer to Erin.

Just as Vania was about to press the okay button, Salsa instantly snatched Vania's phone and canceled the transaction.

"Why didn't you tell my sister that you've been asking for money all this time?"

Vania.

"Vania..."

"It's okay, after all what Mama said is right, I have to return the favor for what you gave me."

"Vania, there's no story of a mother asking for the return of what she's done to her son."

"But here I'm not Erin's mother's son."

"Listen, you're going to talk about this to Mama. And ask Mama to stop asking you for money. For you, never again give mama money."

"But..."

"Vania..."

"All right."

Salsa smiled and hugged Vania and drove her to campus.

After arriving at the Vania campus, Salsa directly otw to his campus.

When Vania was about to enter the campus environment, someone called her..

"Vania.."
