Shackled Two Flavors

Revealed

It's been almost a year since my father and mother were still difficult to contact they just sent me money for living expenses through the ATM card they had given me before, at least that way I know that they are fine because they are never late to send me money, even during the rap-taking of the class I took my own report and the teacher there also asked me about my parents' whereabouts and why they didn't come to be my guardian, I could only lie and keep saying that my parents were busy, other than that reason I really didn't know what else to say, after the report taking I immediately went to the city to see my mother while carrying my report, I hid the sadness because they were not present to accompany me and I intended to surprise with the value I got, I entered the 2nd place in class and I hope my parents can be proud of me.

When I got home like before, the door was closed and when I pressed the bell no one opened the door, I called my mom and dad many times but there was not a single call they answered, I didn't want to give up and decided to wait there until they came, I sat leaning against the wall of the house while hugging the report of my learning for one year, so long I waited for me unconscious to fall asleep and when I opened my eyes the day had changed the night, I breathed a lethargic breath because I still hadn't met my parents, until I got up a car came into the yard, my eyes sparkled and I ran straight to the car but when the car opened it was just my father and a woman I didn't know, the strange thing was that I saw clearly that woman was so friendly to my father.

I stood there until my father approached me.

"Talita, why are you here?" ask dad while holding both my shoulders.

"A...I've been here since noon, where's mom's dad?" I asked with an uncertain feeling.

I was scared and agitated by the answer I was going to give in my brain, I kept thinking about what really happened to my family, where my mother was and who the woman was, why you could go home with her, all those questions ran through my mind.

Plus the father who did not answer my question he instead told me to go inside the house first, I could see how the expression of the face of the father at that time, there was a lot of anxiety and doubt from his face, he said, it makes me more impatient and curious.

"Sorry Talita come on in, you must be tired of waiting all day outside" said the father as he took me inside.

"Quite dad, I just want to know where mom is!!" I said speak firmly and stopped the father who kept forcing me to come in.

"Talita let me explain everything to you inside well, we're talking good" said the father and I immediately obeyed.

When I was in the house, my father continued to give many reasons ranging from offering me a meal first, chatting other things first and other things, other things, I knew you were hiding something from me and I kept trying to urge you not to telephoto and tell you everything clearly.

"okay... Talita is actually father is not with your mother, we have been separated since you went to the village, you do not get angry and listen to the explanation of father and mother first" said the father while holding both hands.

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight, I was just flabbergasted and tried to smile with tears coming down without my permission, I nodded and asked my father to keep telling me everything, I understand I have to listen to everything first and then I can make a conclusion.

"Actually my father and mother lied when they said that our business was bankrupt, the real reason I sent you to the village was because my father and mother didn't want you to know that we were divorced, you take it easy that father and mother divorced well and we will still charge you, we are also your parents, you can meet father anytime as well as your mother" said Dad explaining everything.

My hands clenched hard I wanted to get angry but couldn't, my heart ached and broke just like that, tears I can't stand anymore I bow my head hoping you don't see me dropping tears, I know I have to be strong and I have to accept everything, but what made me so sick was why they had to hide everything from me and even once they threw me into the village, there I lived hardships like wasted children but here they were even fine, not thinking of me and just giving me money for living expenses every month.

"I don't mind anything that dad or mom does, even if I don't have any more parents I don't mind" I replied trying hard.

"I'm sorry Talita's father all this is the father's fault, at that time the father was too carried away emotions forgive father" said the father while hugging me tightly.

I wanted to cry in my father's arms right then and there but I could bear with all my might my eyes kept on a woman who seemed not to be very old with my mother, for some reason my heart was upset and resentful towards that woman I had guessed that woman must be my new wife but to make sure I tried to strengthen myself and ask.

"Had it all happened, sorry won't change anything" I said, letting go of my arms.

Though all this time I missed the warmth of father and mother but now when I can hug her why I let go, I was too upset and not strong to hold back the emotions in me.

"And whose father is the woman next to you?" I stared intently at the woman.

"Include her Serli your connecting mother, you can call her whatever you feel comfortable with" said the father introduced her.

"I guessed it" I murmured inwardly,

"Hey.... Talita I hope you can consider me the same as your mother, I also heard a lot about you, your father loves you very much" said the woman kindly,

"Until now I'll never think of you as my mother, not me being evil I just don't like drama so I can't pretend to be nice to anyone including you!!" I said while standing up from sitting.

"Where are you going?" ask me to stand up and hold my hand.

"One more father please tell me where mom is now!!!" I said with a sharp look, though,

"Your mother lives in her apartment, please don't make a fuss there, and please respect your mother Serli!!" say father firmly.

I just smiled and threw my hands violently I walked quickly out of the house and immediately stopped the taxi.
