Me Vs Flocking Mommy
Chapters 20. About Ghina (1)
The sun is so hot that it reaches the endodermis. His golden-yellow radiance accompanied a petite girl walking between the narrow alleyways. A group of boys run around chasing a ball that moves from foot to foot. Some of the boys ran while sipping a fruit juice drink they bought in a small shop.
“Gluk!” Ella gulped down her saliva, looking at the colorful fresh ice the boys were carrying. “Huh, how hot is it today? It was six in the afternoon. I think it's good, if you live in the mountains,” muttered Ella while wiping her sweat. He quickened his steps towards the house.
Ella was standing in front of her house. He looked at a pair of sandals that he had never seen before. There was a faint sound of people talking in the house. “Who came?” ella thought curious.
The teenage girl was walking quietly, among the flowers growing in front of her house. He listened to Aunt Sri's conversation with his mother. For a long time he sat there, listening to all the contents of the heart of the mother, who was addressed to Aunt Sri.
“I know my life is heavy, but I did not expect that much that the burden borne by my mother alone,” muttered Ella in heart. “I also never noticed, whether my mom is healthy, or even does not eat all day,” he continued.
Ella held onto the note that Daniel had given her. The number is no longer even thirty thousand, because some have been used for the cost of returning home.
“I who is looking for a day's work for pocket money already feel great, what about mama who works dozens of years to become the backbone of the family?” muttered.
Ella took a deep breath, then exhaled back. He kept struggling with his own thoughts. His little heart did not want to fight with his mother, but a small part of his other heart also still did not accept Albert as his future stepfather.
Suddenly Ella heard a shocking fact. Whahuh? Mama and Albert have been in a relationship for eight months?” snarl. The tears that Ella shed turned into tears of hatred. The girl felt betrayed by Albert. All his sympathies for Ghina disappeared instantly.
“Ella, how long will you hide there?” sri asked in front of the bougenvil flower. Her lips carved a sweet smile on her face.
Ella looked surprised by the sudden presence of the Aunt. Ella drowns in her daydream until unaware of Aunt Sri's presence there. The girl wiped her tears and lowered her head. “How are you, Bi?” lirih. He also reached out to greet aunt.
Ella nodded her head. She knew that the invitation was only Aunt's reason to ask her to talk to each other, but Ella still followed the woman's footsteps.

“Ella, do you know that your mama is still in debt?” ask Sri while waiting for the order to come.
“Eh? Isn't it paid off, Bi?” Ella asked back. The girl knew that her mother had a loan in the bank, to finance her father's treatment first.
Auntie shook her head. Some time ago it will be paid off. But the money is again used for your school. That is still added by Ganendra,” said Sri explained the case.
Ella lifted her face and looked at her aunt for quite a while. The teenager understands, if the cost of school is very expensive, even though it has been able to get a little merit scholarship assistance. Not to mention the sudden expenses required, such as practice money.
“Mama you also get typhus several times due to fatigue. He forced himself to work in several places at once to meet your needs,” added Sri.
“Continue? I seem to know, which way is Aunt talking to?” ella said a little sulking. “Don't anyone side with me?” he murmured in the heart.
