Mother's Choice Woman

Chapter 23. Hi Little Clowns

Hi Little Clowns

He wanted to go to the brick press directly from the hospital, but, the money he got yesterday, would be used for dinner, and it wouldn't be enough to take a bus. If the distance of the hospital is as close as the distance from the apartment, then he can walk but, not this time. Finally he decided not to go to the factory, but instead he waited until lunch time arrived and went to the Lux family home, saving him money for dinner.

If there was more money, then, it was better that she used to buy a pregnancy test kit or go to the doctor right now, but, she had no money. During the wait, Lintani spends her time walking around the hospital, to avoid seeing Haifa's affection with the man who is legally her husband. He laughed at his own fate so much that he would not care, at Askelan or anyone else, other than looking for money.

‘’Ah, stupid marriage compensation money, I should have asked for it at the beginning, after showing the marriage license, I can run away from her!” muttered Lintani while walking alone.

However, as badly as she thought of escaping, she could not bear to ignore Elliyat, the woman who had been so kind to her while in prison. He's the only family.

Lintani did not realize that she had walked far enough from the hospital to arrive in front of the minimarket on the side of the road. Lintani thought of buying paper and pencils that she could use to paint designs, as Elliyat once taught her, this would be fun while filling her free time. Moreover, he could buy the cheapest paper. So, he won't run out of money.

After he finished buying the paper and pencil which only cost three dollars, he came out of there with a carefree face and a small plastic bag in his hand.

“Hai! Isn't that you, little clown?” It was the voice of a man standing leaning next to his sports car.

Lintani looked up and saw an oval-faced, white-skinned man with slightly giondrong hair. His clothes were as luxurious as if he was going to go to a party every day. She has a sweet smile with a rather thick lips so fancy for a warm kiss.

“You?” lintani said while thinking for a moment she remembered the face a little, the face of a teenage boy who once called her beautiful, even though she was dressed so strikingly like a clown!

“Yes, I know it's you, right?”

He's Petra Makra, crown prince of Club’ Barseba, a martial arts, boxing, karate and all sorts of other violent sports club that's the biggest in Hill city. He's the first son of Noul Barseba, he's the king of the promoters of boxing and other matches that have spread to various countries, a great man of cold blood in catapulting the names of reliable players, who, he's so famous all over town.

The man liked Lintani a long time ago, since they still met often. Lintani once saw it while going around looking for money by being a clown. Petra had seen Lintani's innocent face without any heavy makeup and she liked it so much that she still remembers.

“Sorry, Sir. You wrong people!” lintani said, he tried to dodge.

“No, I'm sure it's not wrong. I happened to see you earlier, I wanted to know your name.”

“You just want to know my name? Where have we met?”

“You often come in Bulbul Mall, right? We met there a few times!”

Lintani was surprised, there were people in the past who knew her, even though she always went out of the house with thick makeup. Unless he wants to go to school. Lux always picks him up.

Lux used to ignore Lintani when her mother handed her over to take care of her family but, as she got older, Lintani looked more and more beautiful with her big eyes and plump fur like fencing her beautifully. Therefore, he is not suitable to be a beggar, then Rauja dress him up as a clown and train him as funny as possible.

They think it would be futile to take care of Lintani without making any money, so even adult Lintani, their attitude is still the same, telling her to make money by dancing or singing in front of everyone, especially from rich families.

“Oh, yes, it was then, Sir. Now I'm nobody else!”

“Then, come on! We meet, my name is Petra Makra. You who?”

Lintani looks at Petra with a smile, “Call me Lin!”

“Hai, Lin! Nice to meet you!” Petra grabbed Lintani's hand tightly, then brought her to her lips and kissed her. It left Lintani dumbfounded until she quickly pulled her hand back.

Lintani glimpses the car away and she looks towards Patch Philip's expensive watch in Petra's hand.

“Mr Petra, please tell me, what time is it now?”

“Ah, you don't need to be too polite like that, I'm not an irritable person.”

“Uem ... Alright. I'll be normal with you. Does that mean you consider me a friend?”

“Sure, we're friends, and it's twelve o'clock! Do you want to go?”

“Yes. Sorry, I have to go, excuse me..”

Lintani decides to walk towards the Lux family home, this is not too far away and she must be strong for getting her free breakfast this morning. At lunch he will eat so much that when at home there is no food, or the housekeeper does not make food, he will not starve.

While Petra was still looking at Lintani who continued walking in one direction, she was astonished by her behavior. The man followed where the girl was going by running his sports car slowly once.

Over time he could not stand it, and pulled Lintani inside, forcing him to sit next to her and put on his seatbelt. All he did was in silence, disregarding the stubborn girl who rejected him. He couldn't possibly let Petra deliver all the way to the Lux family home, what if Askelan saw and got angry at him?

After a while, Lintani remained silent, even though Petra repeatedly asked her for directions.

“So you don't want to talk? All right, I'll take you home to my house!”

“Do not! All right, take me to Luxor Pama's house!”

“What? The luxor? Is he your family?”

“Yes. That was then, but now I'm not a part of them anymore!”

Petra was astonished that the Lux family belonged to a well-to-do and well-established middle class, but she was astonished to realize that the little beggar she had once known was from that family. This doesn't make any sense.

“How can you come from that family?” Petra asked straightforwardly.

Lintani tried to cover up the real reality by saying, “I used to just hitchhike there, they couldn't possibly have a child made into a beggar, right?”

“Ya.”

After arriving in front of Lux's house, Lintani got off the sports car quickly without waiting for Petra to open the door. He gave a sincere thanks to her.

“Thank you Pet! You are so good!” lintani said as she waved her hand and Petra nodded along with a smile.

As soon as Lintani turned her body around, she immediately faced Askelan.
