Little Monster

Lea Nitip

"What?! Want Lea's nitip here for 2 weeks? starting today as well? Seriously, Hun?!" I showed my disapproval when Mas Indra, my husband asked my opinion at the request of his ex-wife to leave their child in this house.

"It's not 2 weeks, but about 3 weeks." Mas Indra checked the calendar and made my heart even more uneasy.

How can I stay with the Little Monster in this house while we should be enjoying our honeymoon alone?

"What about our honeymoon, hun? Besides, I think it's very sudden!" I'm trying to find a loophole so this doesn't really happen.

"I don't want this either, but there's no other choice, Anisa." Mas Indra's reply made this mouth no longer able to speak and could only pretend to agree while saying one word;

"Okay."

Of course the word "Okay" here doesn't mean I can accept the monster's presence in my new life. Moreover, I am in the flowery and enjoy a new role as a wife who will serve the husband wholeheartedly, living alone, the world is only ours alone. With the presence of Lea, I could even be stressed and bother having to take care of everything.

"Why all of a sudden get rich in gini?" my grumbling in my heart.

Why did Mother Ma'am Dewi have to go back to her hometown for that long? And why did Madam Dewi turned out to work that made her unable to take Lea to school on an ordinary day?

Arrgghhh .. is this a ruse or what?

Sometimes I think, why among so many of my friends and so many men out there, I ended up marrying a widower with one child with his wife's complicated ex?

🎶🎶Stepmother is only in love with my father alone🎶🎶

The song's lyrics fit perfectly with what I'm currently experiencing. I'm a stepmother who loves only her father.

On the one hand I hate this fact, the fact that my husband was married and had a daughter. On the other hand, is this the line of fate and my soul mate that I should be following?

Although Mas Indra and his ex-wife had been separated for a long time before we got to know each other, I still often felt insecure and worried that people would regard me as a male usurper. Especially with the fact that my husband had a child from his first marriage, it made me even more uneasy.

From the recognition of Mas Indra, he married Mbak Dewi without love aka because of MBA. After the baby was born, they eventually separated. During their separation, Mas Indra who was quite a playboy often had to change partners until one day we both met accidentally. At first I was not interested in him at all, even I tend to hate the creatures that are in the form of men. Because, I just broke up with my boyfriend who cheated 5 times with 5 different women.

Mas Indra did not give up on getting my heart, what did he see in this judge, fierce and installment?

Her sincerity made me melt and accept her love. He also slowly told me about his daughter which automatically made me very dilemma. But my love for Mas Indra has also begun to grow like a mushroom in the rainy season at the end of the year.

Arrggghhh .. I hate that kid so much.

Even from the moment of our first meeting.

At that time, I tried to be someone 'friendly' because after all, he was the son of my partner. I invited him to play and joke like a game that is usually played by children his age. But what do I get?

As I rolled my body into the blanket and rolled around to chase after him in the game, he stepped on and kicked my stomach so forcefully!

I screamed and cried because of the pain!

But the little monster laughed and mocked my suffering.

Mas Indra saw the incident and thought my crying was part of the game.

But in my heart has been planted a sense of hate that until now I still keep. How can I love and love him if the first impression I get is pain?

No need to say, "Ah ordinary, her name is also children."

Yeah, kids who don't have manners.

I can already see something is wrong. The 5-year-old boy was very naughty and had no ethics.

Wasn't she ever taught manners in her house, huh?

And now, he's gonna stay with us for 21 days?

The schedule every Sunday took him for a walk I had to pretend to be good all day even though in my heart I was really sick of the mischief of this cunning monster who did not know manners.

Is it because she was the victim of her parents' divorce? For a moment I felt guilty, should I just back off?

But isn't their separation unrelated to me because I just came to Mas Indra's life recently and they've been separated for so long?

Mother Goddess also once told me that it was not my fault for their separation. But Mother Mother Ma'am Dewi seemed to hate me so much. I could see from his face and attitude when he met me to pick up or take Lea home after our weekend schedule.

What wrong? Why does Mother Mother Goddess not like me? is it because of so many women, finally mas Indra married me? or maybe his mother Mbak Dewi still hopes Mas Indra will return to Mbak Dewi like 5 years ago?

For the matter of living and time with his father, I know very well Mas Indra is a very responsible person.

When Mas Indra and Mbak Dewi separated, they had made an agreement that every month Mas Indra was obliged to give money with so nominal for Lea's needs, following electricity, water and ***** whimpered.

Although I often wonder also how Maak Dewi manage that money every month, from the clothes Lea wear and when we pick her up for a walk on the weekend, the boy did not appear to be properly taken care of. Often I find her hair is disheveled, snot and upil everywhere, whether have eaten anything since morning?

Ahh, but what do I care? She has a mother who is supposed to take good care of her, provide healthy and nutritious food, clean and tidy clothes, and more importantly, provide healthy food, teach him to be a polite and respectful child.

I'm not a mother yet, I don't know how hard it is to be a mother let alone part with her husband.

But there are things that are quite disturbing and make me suspicious and wake up my soul. Often I see in the line of social media Ma'am Dewi, he went on vacation out of town even abroad for days, he went on vacation, and in the style of a socialite by leaving her child with her mother who is old enough, which I think, it should be Mother Goddess who takes care and educates Leah even without her husband on her side.

I witnessed for myself that the ex-wife of my ex-boyfriend who even though she is a 'single mom', but still can balance her life and her child is also 'attidute' well with the appearance that shows she is loved, she said, unlike the victims of divorce of his parents or 'broken home'.

So is the money that should be for Lea, even in use for his personal needs Madam Dewi? I know very well before Mbak Dewi did not work, so where else besides the monthly money sent by Mas Indra?

Huh .... I don't want to take care of it.

That afternoon Lea was delivered by Mother Goddess to this house with a small suitcase to put her clothes and toys.

Ohya, it turns out not 21 days without stopping Lea will be here, but from Monday to Friday only because Friday night Mother Goddess will pick Lea up again and spend the weekend (Saturday-Sunday) together.

Yayy .. There will at least be a day where I can be alone with Mas Indra.

Maak Dewi just deliver Lea in front of the house and did not go inside even though I have pardoned (*of course I only make small talk).

I drove Leah into her room, the room we had prepared for Lea and Maya (*my niece who happened to be the same age as Lea, only a few months apart Maya was born first) if they stay in this house.

I often wonder why this boy always looks at home in the house of his father and stepmother. Though I don't love him even I hate having to live one roof with him the next few days.

I saw Lea was playing in the living room with Mas Indra while I was tidying up her luggage.

I opened the small suitcase, containing toys, Barbie and so on that we bought while we were away on the weekend.

There are shoes and school uniforms also complete with socks and school bags.

Mbak Dewi only brought 5 pieces of clothes and pants and underwear that are enough to be worn for 5 days.

______________

From this second my life has changed, tomorrow morning I have to take the monster to school. Half that I should still relax with my comfortable nightgown because I am not allowed to work by Mas Indra. He said I was at home 100% taking care of our household without having to think about the economy because Mas Indra was also responsible for all the needs and needs of our new family.

Our reception and wedding were inaugurated just one month ago, but we were together for almost a year and had been married religiously first.

We postponed the wedding because I was focusing on college and thesis.

In addition, Mas Indra's business is also down drastically can even be said Mas Indra is bankrupt. We really didn't have any money at the time.

Even I had to spend my savings to contract the house and daily necessities. You could say, it was a time of slump and our 0 (zero) point.

• 1 Day to

That morning at Lea's school, the teachers looked at me with different eyes.

"Don't they think, I'm the actor who is shamelessly showing his form" I muttered while handing Lea over to his teacher.

That kid is so shitty!

He didn't even look at me when I said, "See you, Lea ...!"

A row of negative thoughts came to my mind, I put on an uncomfortable face with my lips as I got into Mas Indra's car.

"Why, Hun?" ask Indra curious.

"No papa." Answer's short.

"Judah if so, we go straight home ...."

"Yes." Yeah."

But many people know the word 'no papa' means the opposite and holds a lot of meaning.

Because time also continued to run and it seems that Mas Indra did not want to extend, he said he would take me home and go straight to the office.

_________________

Arriving home, I was quite confused what to cook for Lea later?

I don't want to be seen as a stepmother who can't do anything in the eyes of Mother Goddess, I should be able to take care of Lea and cook food for her.

But I don't know the kid at all.

'What is his favorite food?'

'What is the usual Mother Goddess cook every day?'

'What time does he have lunch?' et cetera.

I would love to ask Mother Goddess what dishes she used to serve for her daughter?

But that's what I'm pondering.

"Unfortunately I'm a stepmother what the hell can't cook for her stepson, I can give her poison .. hehehe."

For a moment my wild thoughts burst out while searching for a menu for Kindergarten children on YouTube even though I never found it.

I decided not to cook.

Mas Indra also told me this afternoon he had a meeting, so didn't come home for lunch.

The office is not too far from the location of our current home, so Mas Indra is always home for lunch. She loves my cooking, whatever it is.

Lea's coming home from school at 12, I should've been at school before class broke up so she wouldn't wait.

Ahh ... it's really troublesome. I should have been relaxing at home after all the work was done. Now you have to pick up school, give food, and accompany play until nightfall.

So keep ... it sucks. The day feels so long.

"When does Friday come anyway?" I shouted in my heart.

I drove a car given by Mas Indra, slowly his business rose and rose again. We have also moved to a better house than our contract some time ago when the hard times were going on.

Arriving at school, Lea's class hadn't disbanded yet, so I waited for a while. A few minutes later, the kids were out of their class, and Lea looked so happy when she saw me pick her up.

She ran so cheerfully and immediately hugged me, I was also clumsy for not getting used to this kind of situation. I feel amused and ... I don't know .. I don't know what it feels like?

We both got in the car, I asked him what he wanted to eat.

Plainly, Lea replied;

"Same rice with leggings."

Whattt? I thought this kid would ask for fried chicken, burgers, pizza or something. But rice and eggs?

If I had known this since morning, I wouldn't have had to search the menu all day!

"Okay, let's go home first, I'll be late." I reply while running the car home.

Looks like this little monster is exhausted at school, he's asleep in the passenger seat next to me. When I got to the front of the house, I woke him up, greeted with anger and sulked. I hate this kid more and more, this cranky and angry nature always makes me not stand it!

Entering the house, I told him to change his clothes while I was going to prepare food, that little boy was lashing out amazingly, he slammed the door and glared at me!

"Truly I'll give you poison in your cell phone!" the evil voice was clearly heard in my ear as I started the stove fire and took two eggs from the refrigerator.

I don't care what Lea does in the room, I'm packing her food and mine too.

A few minutes later, he came out of his room and had changed into a house outfit.

I invited him to eat rice and eggs at his request.

Of course without poison, I would be very easily caught so suspect that this child was poisoned in my house after eating my homemade flat eggs.

All afternoon we spent playing until my husband came home from work.

_____________

I stirred up what happened today to Mas Indra, he asked me to be more patient with Lea. Mas Indra also admitted this was his mistake that spoiled Lea so much that his attitude was like that. I just give up, I'm missing the debate. I just want Friday afternoon to come soon so that the little monster can quickly leave this house.

_______________

Friday night at around 19, Madam Dewi told me she was almost there, she was going straight home, so she asked me to wait on the porch with Lea.

When the Goddess came, I made small talk to bring more clothes to change everyday and I also handed over the PR from the school that had to be done and handed back to school on Monday.

"House clothes do not exist, Sa, the existence of the shirt - that's all .. already in smallness, I will look for it," replied Ma'am Dewi.

I said 'till see you' to Lea and saw the two of them leave the area where I live.

__________________

Yayyyy!!! I was so relieved .. eventually the little monster left also from before me after five days with him. I can sleep quietly and spend time alone with Mas Indra.

Although Monday she'll be here again and again until her grandmother returns to this town and takes care of Lea again.
