Me Vs Flocking Mommy

Chapters 12. Arguing

“Eat at Nusantara Restaurant aja, yuk. You can freely choose the menu there,” invite Albert.

“I'm not hungry,” replied Ella Ketus. He threw his face to the left, avoiding the sight of Albert sitting in the steering chair.

Ella was forced to return home with Albert after walking five hundred meters from school. The weather changed suddenly, making Ella drenched due to the rain. “Why today nobody supports me, anyway?” as Ella in heart.

“La, your stomach can't lie. I can hear the sound of your worms crying hysterically from here. Moreover, your body is soaking wet because of the rain,” said Albert.

Ella did not answer. Both of his cupped palms held back the cold. His lips felt stiff and frozen.

“Udah, deh. Don't be sokambek like those kids. Have you ever almost fainted ‘kan at school? The bread I bought you love your friends,” Albert said.

The man then turned his car into a row of shophouses, then stopped in front of a clothing store. Without saying much, Albert got out of the car and bought clothes for Ella.

“Nih, there are towels and clothes. You can change it in the bathroom of the store. I asked for permission.” Albert thrusts a plastic bag at Ella.

“Later I change the money,” Ella said as she accepted Albert's gift. He could not resist it, as his body was already uncomfortable wearing a wet uniform.

...🥀🥀🥀...

Ella pulled the towel out of the plastic bag. “Hah!” The girl was surprised, seeing a set of brown underwear, tucked inside.

“D-he bought me this?” Ella lifted the brown object out of the plastic. “He thinks I'm this big? You perverted man!” grouse Ella.

Thankfully, Ella's underwear wasn't wet. He just needs to wipe his body, and replace his uniform with a lilac-colored dress that Albert bought earlier.

“Udah done?” albert said as Ella walked out of the store.

“You are waiting for me here?” ella sewot.

“Yes, I'm afraid you ran away,” whispered the man.

“Loh, how do I want to escape? My school bag is in the car. That's a precious treasure to me,” Ella chirped.

Plaque! “Jeez, how stupid I am,” inner Albert while patting his own forehead.

“Nih,” Ella returned the store-branded plastic bag to Albert. His school uniform was wet, he separated it elsewhere.

“Basic perverted guy. My size is not this big. Can be mocked if I wear it,” Ella said.

Albert peeked at the contents of the plastic to understand the meaning of Ella's speech. “Fix, my brain left half at home today,” umpat Albert, lamenting his own stupidity.

...🥀🥀🥀...

Albert drives his car on the main street of the capital. The atmosphere was quiet, not seeming as usual. The rain is pouring the earth. The entire sky layer, it looked gray in color. Fortunately Albert bought a long dress for Ella, so the girl did not feel cold.

“Honest, deh. You picked me up to school, there must be other intentions, right?” chirped Ella, breaking the silence between the two.

“La, I came to school really just to eat your lunch. Not a strange one,” replied Albert.

“What a lie,” great-grandson Ella. Usually you also never pay attention to me, let alone come to school,” quipped bright-skinned teenagers.

“I often come to your school, La. That's why Mr. Master didn't ask me much,” Albert said in his heart.

“Kok silent? Noh, can't answer, can you?” Ella grinned widely.

“Hah, yes, deh,” said Albert pretending to budge. He took advantage of this situation to negotiate with Ella.

“I came here, because your mama is very worried about you. He said you locked yourself in the room and didn't eat from yesterday. Don't you feel sorry for Mama?” albert said intentionally.

The man glanced to the left, to see Ella's expression. According to Albert, it was better to show a firm demeanor in front of this stubborn girl, than to tell her how much she cared about Ella.

“Poor? Why should I feel sorry for my mom, just because I don't have a partner? Does anyone feel sorry for me right now? No right?” reply Ella. His gaze was straight ahead, staring at the asphalt that was wet in the rain.

Albert took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. “Truly head stone nih child. It is very difficult to change his mindset,” said Albert in his heart.

“Gini yes, La. You know, right? Your mother worked hard during the night, to put you in a good place,” said Albert.

“Of course I know. Since my father died, my mother worked day and night. Until we rarely meet and chat,” said Ella.

“Each of which I never asked for anything. Use HP seken old model only I do not problem,” continued the girl. “So that means I have to return the favor to mama, by letting you get married?” ella with a sour face.
