"Darren! Watch you!" rika shouted, just smiling by Darren.
You don't know if I've met your father. Inner Rica with a grinning smile towards Darren.
Ahh, you're not my type. I like sweet and gentle but not cheap girls. Not as fierce and rude as you. You are also cunning and cheap. And I've met a girl of my type. Inner Darren.
With a certain step, Darren guided his bike home. He was no longer afraid if his father asked questions because he did not work anymore.
"Darren! Home again tonight?" ask her papa, make Darren's guts shrivel.
"Hmm, papa. . ."
"You're defiant, yeah! You work, right?" david asked with one hand clutching Darren's arm.
Darren was terrified, he grimaced with the pain in his arm, "No, pa. I don't work!" darren replied.
"You think you can fool papa!"
"Mas, what's going on? Why Darren? Lepasin, mom!" lisa was shocked.
"You taught this kid to defy and lie to me, didn't you!" David looked at his wife and son with a stern look.
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
"Pa, I really don't work anymore! Swear, pa!"
"Dare you swear falsely, yes!"
"Really, pa!"
Darren reached into his pants pocket.
"This is my last paycheck, pa. I quit my job on Papa's orders last night. I dare to argue with papa!" said Darren with trembling hands showing the envelope that was loved by Anto.
David began to stretch his hand. Staring at his son's eyes and the envelope in his son's hands took turns.
"Tuh, mom. Darren's not working anymore, is he. That was his last paycheck!" obviously Lisa.
David then opened the envelope and counted the money.
"Three million? Where do you work?" david asked again.
Darren's eyes rounded to see the amount of money in the envelope. He thought he would only receive two million.
"I-I don't know, pa. My friend said he only paid two million. Hmm, maybe it's a bonus because I quit my job!" darren replied.
"Hhh, look out if you've been caught lying! From tomorrow, during the day you should be at home and not going anywhere else!"
"Her? I'm home at one o'clock, pa. And it's almost an hour's drive because it's riding the bike slowly."
"From tomorrow you ride the angkot. I already have money! Not much of your reason!"
"Hmm, I-yes pa."
"Where to go, take a shower! Do you want to bathe, huh?"
"Don't!" lisa and Darren shouted almost together.
"Let Darren bathe himself, mas!" lisa said softly.
"Mandy!" David's Letters.
"Yeah, pa."
Lisa hurried to the kitchen while Darren went to her room. Shortly after, Darren came out with a towel.
"Be careful if you don't shower. Don't be slovenly!" david said in a high tone.
"Yes, pa."
When Darren went to the bathroom, there was his mother there.
"Band. Mama has added hot water so that the water is not cold!" whiskey mama.
Darren smiles.
"Like a rich kid just taking a warm bath!" david shouted from the living room. It made his wife and son shocked.
