MY BRONISH GIRLFRIEND

Chapter 2

I went with Laura to her house, Laura was my father's youngest lawyer in the company, she was also my father's personal lawyer, Laura was 2 years older than me.

"Sister Laura, thank you for bringing me here" I told Laura.

"Don't hesitate, your father was so kind to me, then how can I ignore you about your father" Laura said.

"Yes, Laura's sister, you're the only one who's still caring" I said, appreciating her kindness.

Laura pulled out a bankbook and a card, "the money in this savings is yours, your father purposely kept it in my name. Actually your father had suspected Ken a long time ago, but he didn't expect Ken to launch his action this fast" said Laura who put the savings book on my front desk.

"sister Laura ..I ..." I stopped.

"I know you're still sad about your father's passing, I couldn't do anything about it either, once Ken took over the company he first fired was me, because your father believed in me so much. These months your father asked me to keep some money in the bank in anticipation of something like this, your father would love to tell you but he knows you love Ken so much that he just keeps quiet," laura told me what she knew.

I cried, "dad ..forgive me .. For I you must die, stupid me father ...."

"Julia ..all has happened, I can only help you in this way. After this what are you gonna do? do you want to repay Ken" asked Laura.

"No. I just want to live in peace, revenge will only make my life suffer, besides there are important things that I still have to protect, " I said while holding my stomach.

"Well, if that's your decision. So what's your plan now?" ask Laura again.

"I don't know yet, but for sure I want to leave this city, the further the better." I replied.

"My brother lives in S, although it's not as big as this city, but maybe your life will be better there" Laura advised me.

"Thank you kakLaura, I've been a lot of trouble for you" I said.

"You don't hesitate, this is all I can do, one day if you change your mind you can ask for my help" Laura said.

"Thank you" I feel lucky there's still something good in me.

"Now rest first, I will contact my sister first, also prepare all your needs for your trip," said Laura.

I nodded, among my father's confidants only Laura was truly loyal to my father.

Father, if I had followed what you said before, you might still be by my side, I hope you didn't hate me for my stupidity, and from now on I will fulfill your wish to live happily ever after ....

5 Years later

The sound of my footsteps running in a shopping mall, I ran as fast as I could.

"Gawat ..gawat ..I must be late, he will be angry," I muttered as I ran after buying something.

Without me noticing, I bumped into a man until the item I was carrying fell off. The man was carrying the same package as me.

"I'm sorry.sorry.." said I who hurriedly stood up and took my package.

"No problem" the man also took his package.

I ran back to my car, and the man was still staring at me in a panic and hurry.

In the car

The sound of my phone rang, I grabbed it and answered the call.

"Hello dear ..iya ..maaf..this is up..how can I forget ..no no.. I'm not lying ..I'm almost there" I said in the call, then I closed the call and put my phone on the dashboard of the car.

I'm driving my car even faster, I don't want to be late for my most important event today.

JULIA APARTMENT.

I got to the front door of my apartment with a breath of breath. I set my breath steady, then I went inside.

"Honey ..mama come home, happy birthday," I hug my beloved daughter who is 4 years old.

Today is my daughter Jihan's birthday, and I'm almost late because there's a little problem with my cafe.

"Mama, I'm actually your son, right?Even on my birthday my mom can come home late!" jihan's protest was angry at me for my delay.

"really? I received this gift, but that doesn't mean I forgive mama yeah, see Uncle Laurent, he comes early to celebrate my birthday, not like mama who comes home late." jihan's protests are still crumbling.

Laurent is Laura's twin sister.

"Alright .. alright ..mama apologize" I relented.

"Yes already ...Little princess, how about we cut the cake? uncle's already very hungry" Laurent tried to quiet down Jihan's emotions.

"Accept ...." Jihan spirit.

I breathed a sigh of relief, I felt my burden a little light since Laurent helped me.

The night was getting late, Jihan was already asleep and I was sitting in the guest room with Laurent.

"Thank you for accompanying Jihan today" I said.

"No problem, is there a problem in the cafe?" ask Laurent.

"Yes, it's usually just dissatisfied customers" I replied.

"Julia, you've been working hard for 5 years, aren't you tired of living alone like this?" ask Laurent again.

"Sister Laurent, for me now I just want to think about Jihan's happiness, besides that I don't want to think about it" I replied.

"Alright, I know but if there's anything I can do for you then say it!" pinta Laurent's.

"Thank you, you've been with me all this time I've been very grateful," I said again.

"Don't hesitate, if it wasn't for your father me and Laura would have lived on the streets. Your father gave us a better life, so we should have given you a better life" Laurent said.

"I'm sorry." I said.

Thanks to laurent's help as well as my father's money, I was able to open a cafe in the city S. 5 years ago I left town Z for a better life, although S city is not as big as Z city but in this city I get a lot of happiness and tranquility.

NEXT DAY

I who was still asleep was awakened by the noise of Jihan. Jihan stood on my bed.

"Mama, what gift did you give me?" Jihan held a scarf in her hand.

"Darling, why are you angry so early in the morning?" I woke up and wiped my eyes.

"Ma ..Don't I want a butterfly hairpin, why did mom give me this scarf?" his protest.

"Eh ..mama bought you a butterfly hairpin," and I got up and sat down to sting Jehan's words.

"It's not a butterfly hairpin, it's a mama's scarf .." Jihan said.

I remember what happened yesterday and I just remembered, it must have been a gift for Jihan swapped for the man I hit.

"G ...Dear Jihan sorry, your gift must have been exchanged with someone else. What if you gave this scarf back to the owner and swapped it for your hairpin?" please persuade me to keep Jihan from getting angry again.

Jihan seemed to think, then suddenly Jihan put on the scarf, "no need .. This scarf is also good I like it, besides Uncle Laurent also gave me another hairpin."

"really? if you like it then take it, the most important thing for mama is that Jihan can be happy and smile," I hugged Jihan and kissed her forehead.

I was preparing to go to the cafe, somehow suddenly Jihan wanted to come with me, because there was no choice I invited Jihan who kept whining to come along.
