Me Vs Flocking Mommy

Chapter 40. Ella's Decision

"Ma, I'm gonna talk, by the way" Ella said at dinner. He squeezed the glass tightly, to gather courage.

"Yes, Son. What the hell are you talking about?" ask Ghina. He looked at his daughter's face with a sweet smile.

"After high school, I want to study Pharmacy. If you can go through the scholarship. I was just called by Master Ma'am this afternoon" Ella said.

"Well, good, though. Mama agrees. Although not through the scholarship path, Mama still supports you," said Ghina with a sweet smile on her lips. Ella hadn't seen Mama's cheerful face like that in a long time. "But which campus do you list?" Suddenly Ghina's face became agitated.

"I took the university in this city, Ma. There are two campuses that I go to" Ella said with a small laugh. "I know, Mama would miss me if I went to college out of town" the teenager added.

"No, tuh. My mom will not miss you. I'm just worried, can you live independently without my mom?" tymphal Ghina.

"Can, dong." Ella sneered a sign of disapproval. The girl then drank a glass of water, and straightened her back. "Keep, there's one more thing I want to say. I ... Allowing Mama to marry Al" Ell said in a trembling voice.

Ghina was shocked to hear her son's statement. Ella seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, after saying that sentence. He did not allow the marriage. It took a long time and quite a strange heartache to make that decision.

"You serious, son? If you mind, Mama can cancel it. Your happiness is most important" Ghina said.

Ella shook her head while smiling. "I've thought about it well. Given the incident with the loan shark yesterday I realized, if Mama needs a companion. And I think Albert is the right guy. He wants to accept Mama for who she is" Ella said.

"Thank you, baby. But Mama will think about it again" Ghina said.

"But I have one request." Ella paused her sentence for a moment, then took a deep breath. "I want to go on a pilgrimage to my father's place with Mama" the high school boy asked.

"alright. We'll set the time. Mama also misses your papa," said Ghina. He rubbed his bassh eyes with his fingers.

...🥀🥀🥀...

The next day, after school. As usual, Ella immediately went with Daniel to work at the cafe. While Naya and Maira are at the front stop of the school, waiting for the bus and their respective invitation.

A luxury car brand bvrgatti pulled over near the stop. The four-wheeled vehicle became the center of the student scene, including Naya and Maira. A handsome man in a black T-shirt and jeans got out of the car and approached the two best friends.

"Could, anyway. But soon we will be picked up" replied Maira. While Naya could not turn her eyes away from the man's face. "Sst, Nay," whispered Maira.

"Oh, uh. What was?" ask Naya nervously.

Albert laughed at the behavior of the High School boy. "We'll talk here until you're picked up" Albert said. "I was just wondering, where did Ella go after school?" Search Albert.

Maira and Naya looked at each other. They hesitated to answer Albert's question. "What's this man's motive for asking about Ella's condition?" thought they.

"Please, your identities are safe in my hands. So, where's Ella at the moment?" albert said he began to intimidate the two high school boys.

"Sorry, is this brother Ella?" maira asked carefully.

"I ... People who care about Ella. I came here at his mother's request" Albert said. He showed her at a glance, the contents of Ghina's message to her.

"Oh, that's it. But promise me, don't tell Ella that we leaked the secret. He can beat us up if he divulges his secret" Maira said.

"Maira!" naya disagrees.

"It's okay. It's for Ella's sake too" Maira said. He whispered a place to the handsome man.

"Oh, so he's there? Thanks for the info, this is for you." Albert raised both eyebrows, smiling with satisfaction, and took out two pieces of paper from his pants pocket.

"I'm sorry, we don't accept bribes" Maira and Naya both refused.

"This is not a bribe. But thank you from me for helping me and Ella" Albert said. "This shopping voucher belongs to both of you" Albert said with a wink.
