Shackled Two Flavors

Stepmom

I still can't believe everything I read on that piece of business card paper, but after I've made sure by re-reading carefully as much as 3 times the results are still the same, but after I made sure, and I was so stunned to not believe it.

"Gee ..wah.... This is really cool, it turns out there is still a family heir who wants to work in his own place like brother Kevin, he is very cool" said me who again felt amazed.

I stopped admiring Kevin's problem and immediately went from there, I had intended to go to my father's house to ask for money because even though I was working, I would only get a wage next month, as for this one month I have run out of money for supplies, so I have to ask father for money.

Coincidentally the distance between the restaurant where I work is not too far to my old house, I went to use the gojek that I had ordered, arriving in front of the gate of the house I went straight in and pressed the bell, after a while my stepmother came to open the door and she looked shocked when she found out that my arrival had arrived.

"Eh....Talita, come on baby come in" my stepmother welcomed me quite well,

I went in and sat on the couch, I felt that all the layout of the items in the house still looked the same nothing changed even the family photo and the childhood photo was still clearly plastered on the wall, I feel a little strange why my stepmother didn't change all the home decor.

"Didn't he feel hurt when he saw my family's picture clearly on the wall, or did he have no feelings" I murmured in wonder,

My stepmother served me some food and drinks but I who did not want to spend time there, I immediately expressed my intention to come to the house.

"Thank you aunt, but I'm just here to see dad, he didn't send me any money this month, and I need that money now" I said plainly,

"Oh.that's sorry Talita maybe your father forgot, he was checking out the project outside the city even until now your father has not returned" replied my stepmother,

"So please tell him over the phone maybe if you call him he'll pick up the call" I said cynically,

"Of course Talita mom will tell him right away, and this if you really need that money you just use this money if you need anything else, you can come here whenever you want, you can come here, I'm happy to see you" said my stepmother, clenching some money into my hand.

I was confused and had a lot of suspicion on him, because I know almost ninety percent of all the average stepmother is evil but she actually gave me money and I know that the amount is not small, not a little, all the stepmom would be rude when her real dad wasn't around, but she also kept being gentle with me when dad wasn't there.

"Why is he this good, did I misjudge him?" I started to doubt, though,

Even though he treated me well, I still couldn't trust my stepmother completely, I'm just wary of anyone knowing he's only been acting like this for a while and just to get my blessing or just to get some sympathy from my father, I don't know all these negative thoughts always cross my mind so I keep watching and keep my distance from the woman.

At first I refused the money my stepmother gave me, because I was really afraid she had a plan or there was a shrimp behind the stone of the good she did to me.

"Take your money back, I don't want to take any money other than my mom and dad" I said, putting the money on the table,

"Talita even though I'm just your stepmother, but I already consider you like my own daughter, don't torture yourself, I sincerely give this money to you, or if you still feel doubtful to mom, just think of this money as a debt, you can pay it later so you don't worry" replied my stepmother with a big smile, saying,

I thought for a moment of his words and as I was thinking about all that, my stepmother gave me the money again and she put it in my school bag that I put on top tabletop.

"Have no thought, just use this money, this is also money from your father's business and you should have used this money" said my stepmother, who is not the least,

"Wait, Talita..mom think, you want to stay here, but I really hope you can stay with mom here, one night only" said my stepmother memelas, said,

I don't care about the look I'm just trying to take care of myself, take care of anyone who knows he can poison or do something out of control while I'm living there.

"Don't expect more, I'll never be gentle let alone stay in the same house as you, you're still a stranger to me and remember don't reprimand me in public, I don't know you either" I looked at him sharply and immediately rushed away from there.

I don't care if my words hurt my stepmother's feelings or not, I don't care if she hates me or if she's sad because of my words, I think they didn't care about my feelings either when they decided to get married without telling me beforehand.

Their actions still make a deep and painful scar on my heart, on the other hand I am always grateful when people say my family is so harmonious first, but now my family is broken and I don't know what the reason for their separation really is.

While walking on the edge of the lonely street alone while waiting for my online ojek order to arrive, I continued walking while looking down with a shackled feeling and holding the money my stepmother gave me, I feel very disappointed and upset considering the person who gave me money at a time like this is even the person I hate the most.

"I will return all this money to the woman" I said with a strong determination.

Soon my online order arrived and I got on the bike.

A few moments after arriving at home I immediately cleaned myself and cooked a bowl of spicy noodles plus egg ceplok also sausage that I had sliced, sliced, I enjoy instant noodles alone in the kitchen with a quiet atmosphere, every day I always eat alone and it feels like it has become a habit for me.

After eating, I fell asleep and rested my tired body all day, considering that tomorrow is my first holiday so that I can sleep well and a little lazy.

Just as I was about to close my eyes, the sound of the ringing of the phone reawakened me and shattered the drowsiness that had grown before. I reached into the pocket of the school bag and picked up the phone call.

"Yes..this is who?" I raised the call, that,

"It's me Talita, do you want to sleep?, I'm sorry if I bother you" said Brother Bara from there.

Hearing the voice of the idol of course the feeling of resentment and tiredness in my eyes immediately disappeared, I reflex sat down and immediately replied excitedly.

"Ah... No brother, I just got home from work so a little tired hehe" I replied lying,

"Well, I think you're lazy to answer my call, because it's getting late" Bara replied making me feel nervous and uneasy,

"Eh.no brother, not at all really, I'm just happy to get a phone call from you" I replied with a smile of my own, saying,

"Really?, I guess I'm the only one who's happy when I hear your voice" replied Brother Bara who made my cheeks blush for a moment.
