Me Vs Flocking Mommy

Chapters 14. Money

Bruk! Ella threw her body into the bed. His school bag and uniform he threw in any place. Both of Ella's eyes stared at the window facing the side yard of the house.

Rain drops are still stuck in the trees. Cold air pierced into Ella's skin wearing only thin clothes. The sky is still gray without sunlight.

“Outside still heavy rain. My mom hasn't come home either. If it wasn't for him, I would still be raining out there,” Ella muttered.

He was a little sorry, why should the man pay attention to him. The worried look in her eyes made Ella's heart ache. The black haired girl remembered her chatter with Albert in the car earlier.

“Huh, said he'd drop me at the stop? But he instead pressed the gas of his car at full speed as it approached the stop. You sneaky guy!” said Ella grumbling.

I don't really want to fight with him. But my heart hates to see his smile and the look in his eyes that always worries me. Ah, nope. She's not worried about me, but about my mama.” Ella spoke to herself.

“Look what did he say? What if I come?” Ella mimicked Albert's words earlier. “He was pretending to be stupid or innocent, anyway? When he didn't understand how I felt, who saw my mom and was quiet to get married?”

Tears flowed in the corner of Ella's eyes. Trees can be seen dancing in the wind. It was as if the living creature was trying to comfort Ella who was running away.

“Udah, ah. Why do you keep thinking about him? Albert has spoken repeatedly, if he will not change his intention to marry mama.”

Ella was determined to start forgetting her feelings for the man. “Lifting I finished home, deh. Than to keep on flushing.”

Although Ella is hostile to Ghina, but the girl still does her homework well. Since long ago when her mother worked at Albert's house, Ella helped complete homework including cooking and ironing clothes.

Ella composes her school book into a bookcase. Suddenly his eyes caught a piece of paper and a few pieces of money between the books. Ella took it. It turned out that Ghina wrote a message in the paper.

“That's a lot? If reduced by tuition and allowance a month, the rest there are still eight hundred thousand more,” muttered Ella after calculating the nominal given by Ghina.

“Damn! Why so much? Usually my allowance is only two hundred thousand a month. It must also be saved for the cost of transportation to school,” he continued.

If usually Ella likes to receive more pocket money, then now it is exactly the opposite. His little heart felt something strange. Especially if considering the salary of his mother as a household assistant, not so great.

“Ah, lest this money be not from mama, but from that guy? Is Albert willing to bribe me to approve their marriage?” accuse the teenager.

Drrrt! Ella's phone on the table rang. The boy checked it out.

“Udah eat, La? I'm sorry. Don't sulk anymore, huh?” albert wrote in a short message.

“I'm also sorry that I made you go home. Because I don't want you to get sick,” Albert wrote again in the next message.

Ella put her phone on the table. His tears spilled, along with the rain that fell increasingly heavy.

“What the hell, he? Why do you keep getting so attentive to me? Want to pretend to be a good father figure?” Ella sniffed in her room. Rumbles of rain on the roof, dampening the sound of Ella's crying so bitter.

“Is this the biggest heartbreak I've ever felt? Though dating has not. Why is my heart hurting so much. It felt better that she ignored me forever, rather than having attention but her status changed,” muttered Ella on the sidelines of her cries.

Drrrt! Ella's phone rings again. A message from Albert appeared on his screen. “La? Sleep on? If you ..” write the man.

Ella, curious about the continuation of Albert's message, is forced to take her phone and read the incoming message from the man. “La? Sleep on? If you are sick your mother will be very sad and worried. So do not forget to Eat and rest enough, yes.”

“Damn! So she's really paying attention to me, just because she's worried about you? Ella's jealousy had reached the highest level. “Since when did he kayak git uke mama? Bego really me, who always reply to his chat without suspicion.” Ella swore annoyed.

From the beginning of meeting a few years ago, Ella knew Albert as a warm person. Although the guy was quite quiet, but he always faithfully listened to Ella's curses when she was just a teenager. If Ghina comes home late from Albert's house, then the man always asks Ella for news. Not infrequently, Albert also left Ghina's favorite food for him.

Gradually, a different feeling arose in Ella's heart. Unfortunately, the man firmly limited himself, not to reciprocate the young girl's feelings. Slowly their relationship was stretched, until finally Albert came to propose to Ghina.

“Hah! Why am I remembering that incident again, anyway?” Ella ruffled her own hair. The boy then put the money he found in a drawer.

“See later. I'll prove it if I'm not just a spoiled teenager. I'm also a mature woman,” Ella's resolve.
