Me Vs Flocking Mommy

Chapter 55. Blue Dress

"You know something? So behind me all this time you've been doing something?" Ghina looked at Albert sharply. His breathing was clearly heard.

"Yes, I do know something. But let Ella change clothes first. I'll tell you everything" Albert said calmly.

"No way, Al. If left alone it can become a habit!" Ghina.

"not allowed. But give him time-"

"Time for what? Making excuses?" Ghina cut off Albert's speech. His emotions had boiled down to the crown.

Ella's hands clenched tightly. "Ma, I work at a cafe." Ella ventured to be honest.

"Work? At cafe? Wh-wh-what for? Money that Mama gave me less? Ah, you didn't even use one rupiah.

"It's not like that, Ma."

"Oh, Mama knows. You don't want to take any more money from mama because you want to marry Al?" ghina.

Taps! On target. Ella was at a loss for words to defend herself. Albert looked at Ella with pity. Even so, the teenage girl is not entirely wrong.

"I just want to learn to be independent, Ma" whispered Ella.

"Reports? Who do you think Mama works day and night for if not for you?" Both of Ghina's eyes turned red. Her chest feels very tight.

"I'm sorry if I offended Mama. But I just want to learn. Can't I be independent?" say Ella again.

"Your job is school. Not work. And why is the time exactly the same as Mama's wedding plan?" Ghina's tears broke. His voice sounded raucous. "Do you want to live like your mom? Underestimated everyone just because of the end of Junior High?" ghina continued again in between her sobs.

"I'm sorry, Ma." Ella still had not let go of her embrace from the body of the mother.

"Al, since when do you know? And you shut up? Is it true that he's not friends with strange people?" Ghina turned her gaze toward her future husband.

"Yes, I knew a few days ago. I followed him after school" Albert said. "But I see, while at the cafe he was still studying for the graduation exam and the university entrance exam," said Albert.

Bruk!!! Ghina sat on the floor. "My late husband must have been angry the same, seeing his daughter working at a very young age."

"I'm sorry, Ghina. Calm yourself. We'll talk about it again, yeah."

"What kind of mother am I? Taking care of one child just can't." Ghina's cry deepened. Body shaken.

Albert held onto Ghina's shoulder, bracing the thirty-year-old woman. Shortly thereafter adzan magrib reverberated. Suddenly silent atmosphere.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Ella rushed to the room to calm her heart. His heart was still not used to seeing the closeness between Albert and his mother.

"Oh, yes. Mama, how did you find that money, huh?" Ella opened her closet immediately. Bruk! Ella was sitting on the floor when she saw something glittering in the closet. Ella looked at that thing.

"i-this, right? How could Mama know."

Ella touched the blue dress hanging in her closet, along with a very pretty shoe. Some time ago when she and Ghina were spending time together, Ella looked at the dress and shoes from behind the glass of a shop. Unexpectedly, it turns out that Ghina is very aware of her daughter's wishes.

Suddenly Ella's gaze stopped on a paper patterned doll, which was tucked between her books. The girl read it immediately. The letter paper with the mother's handwriting was wet, because her tears were flowing without permission.

He remembered that his birthday was almost a month ago. Just when his relationship with his mother deteriorated. Ella did not expect, her birthday that was never celebrated was remembered by her mother.

Her eyes were shining like the moon, again observing the dress and shoes given by the mother. "It's great, it's definitely expensive. Ah, can I use heels?"

"Ella, are you done praying? Get out" call Albert and knock on Ella's door.

"Oh yeah, I was curious. Why did Albert suddenly appear, huh?" ella thought, when she heard the man's voice.
