Me Vs Flocking Mommy

Chapters 74. Julids

"What's up, La? Looks really jumpy?" asked Maira, who had been implicating Ella restlessly. The friend stood up a few times and looked at the window.

"My mom hasn't come yet. The meeting was about to start" Ella said. He lifted his head and narrowed his eyes to focus his gaze. Among the guardians who flocked to the school hall, Maria did not see her mother.

"Maybe again on the road . Did you connect?" Maira.

"Udah, but not lifted. Usually you're never late if there's an important event gini." Ella's really nervous. Her tiny fingers, pressing the keyboard on the HP screen. "Mama's coming, right? The meeting was about to start" he wrote, then pressed the send button.

Ella's gaze shifted to the top of her HP screen. The digital clock is 09:25. Five minutes later, the third-grade student trustee meeting begins. "Why didn't my mom show up? Did Albert represent him? Duh, don't let it." Ella's still not ready if her friends find out that Albert is her stepfather.

Ella accidentally bit her tongue. His heart is beating fast. A luxury car entered the school parking lot. "That's Al's car," Ella's mind was weak as she sat back in her seat. He's resigned if his teachers and friends find out his biggest secret.

"Hey, that's Ella's mom, right? It's beautiful" said a few students in front of the class.

"Yes, looks so young. Beautiful and fashionable," said another friend.

"The message is clear, apparently her mother is also very beautiful like a Korean artist," comments friends Ella.

Ella who heard that frowned while standing up. Ella was flabbergasted when she saw a woman wearing a gray coat, sunglasses, and brown hair being dyed. Ghina's appearance changed one hundred and eighty degrees from usual.

"Ah, thank goodness. It was mama who came, delivered by Andreas," Ella murmured later. Andreas is one of the drivers in Albert's office.

"But Ella's not a housemaid, is she? How did you get so rich?" whisper some julid friends.

"His spleen Om-om kali? Look at Ella all this time also her style mediocre. Heard he was also confused when his scholarship was cut off? How come her mom suddenly even performed that shaky?"

"Maybe his mama used to be hamidun by accident, guys? When Ella was in high school, her mom was really young?" drop them while whispering.

Ella looked down saddened at the conversation. Both of her hands clasped the end of her school skirt tightly. This was one of the reasons she rejected Albert's marriage to her mother. Even though they chatted in a whisper, Ella's ears could still catch the sentence they were blurting out very well.

"Why Ella?" ask Maira. Looks like my friend Ella did not hear and realize it, because from this moment she was busy memorizing lessons for the last hour.

"There's nothing, really," whispered Ella who held back her tears from spilling over.

"Kids, back to their seats. We learn as usual" cried Master.

"Well, there's a meeting, ma'am," cried the children. Classes are getting boisterous.

"Your parents' meeting. While you continue to learn as usual," said Mrs Teacher, in welcome the outpouring of disappointment from the students. "Let's open the package book on the hundred and eight page. We'll discuss the issues there together" he ordered.

...🥀🥀🥀...

"Ella, look at it." Naya and Maira point towards the luxury car parked under the front tree of the school. "That was your mom's car, wasn't it?" Maira.

"Oh, yes. I'm gaes first."

"OK, see you tomorrow" Naya and Maira said, waving their hands.

"Lho, mama, are you still here? Did the meeting end two hours ago?" ask Ella.

"Mama was waiting for you to come home, baby. Come on in," Ghina said.

Ella's heart and mind are raging. The words of Ella's two julid classmates were still ringing in her ears. The girl desperately wanted to vent those emotions in front of Ghina, but she held on with all her might. Because her mother did nothing wrong.

"What's wrong? How pouting?" ask Ghina.

"There's nothing, really," Ella replied forcing a smile on her face.

"Certainly? Why not come in? Is there something you're waiting for?" ask Ghina again.

"Awhile, Ma," said Ella. His fingers surfed on the HP screen, typing a message. "Daniel, I'm not going to the cafe today. I have to go home with my mom" Ella wrote.

"👌😎" Daniel replies to Ella's message briefly with an emoticon.

...🥀🥀🥀...

While in the car Ella just silenced and pecked in her chair. His eyes looked out the window blankly. The teenager did not even want to ask about the results of the guardian meeting earlier.

Not only that, there were still many other questions that revolved around Ella's head. Why don't you use your usual car? Why did my mom look change? Why is Mama late? But finally all the questions were kept in his heart.

Ghina who saw Ella's expression was not excited could guess, if Ella's mood was currently plummeting. The woman gives Ella space to be alone. Ghina also did not interrogate Ella or just chat casually so as not to further aggravate the situation.

"Where is this going?" Ella finally opened her voice. He asked as the car carrying them moved in the opposite direction to the house.

"We want to go eat first, baby," Ghina said.

"But I'm not hungry" Ella replied as she scrunched her face. The girl took a deep breath to vent her frustration.

"It's a special place to eat, you know. You must like it" Ghina said.

"I'm so tired today. I'd like to go home, Ma" Ella said

"It's close, baby. Later if you do not want to eat, can be wrapped," persuaded Ghina gently.

"Yes, yes" Ella relented. After all, he had no reason to refuse the invitation of his mother, just because he felt annoyed at his friends.

Ten minutes later. "Japanese Restaurant? Tumben so much that Mama brought me here?" Scream Ella in the heart. He had never tasted Japanese cuisine in his entire life. Ella entered the expensive restaurant with her bare feet.

"Welcome, Ella." A handsome, neat-looking man greeted Ella with a smile.

Ella's footsteps suddenly stopped. "God! Is this Albert's restaurant? How did I just wake up?" mumbled Ella in heart. The brunette teenager completely forgot that he now had the father of a wealthy young businessman.
