The Children's Story 17
Vicia
BRRAAAAKKKKK!!!
A laptop crashed into the floor, breaking into pieces.
"Maaaaa, Lala slammed my laptop!!" vicia shouted as she picked up the pieces of her laptop that were scattered on the floor. He was online again.
Hearing that shout, mama came, followed by Erni from behind.
"What's this?" ask mama to snort.
"Ma, Lala slammed my laptop on the floor." Vicia cried.
"Lala?" ask mama.
"Abis, I ain't borrowed bole. Mama knows my laptop is being serviced again." Lala grumbled.
"Vicia, why are you so stingy with your brother? If Lala borrowed, yes dong loved." said mama stroked Lala's head.
"But ma, I was online. Lala wants to play take it." Vicia tried to defend herself.
"Ah, Vicia is stingy, ma," suddenly Erni's voice sounded, "Yesterday at school, she does not want to give an answer to a math problem."
"Well, Vicia?" asked my mom with eyes.
"Ga can, ma. Kan exam. I'm the supervising teacher and.aduuuhhh ma... Ampuuuunnn.." cried Vicia in pain. It turned out that his mother's hand had already pulled his ears very strong.
"You can't go too far, dong Vicia!" yelled Mama didn't care about Vicia's crying. "Don't mind you being smart, keep you arbitrarily the same as your brothers."
"But ma..."
"Partially, how does he feel about it here ma? The bathroom hasn't been cleaned yet" Erni said.
"Yes ma. Page not yet swept. He's a real slacker ma." added Lala cynically.
"Basic kid doesn't know himself!!" Mama's getting angry. He wasn't just picking at Vicia's ear. But also pulling the girl's hair and pinching her was very strong. Until Vicia begs for mercy.
“Ampun, Ma... geez...” Vicia cried sobbing in pain but mama seemed to care not one bit. Vicia's body was bruised by my mother's pinch. Also blisters because of the woman's nails. It's not about playing.
"Mah, stop. We're going to the mall." Ernie reminded his mother.
"Yes ma. Ntar kl noon, very hot." added Lala quickly. "But tell him to do all the homework, ma. Let's just not eat sleep here."
"Listen that's Vicia. You have to clean the bathroom, sweep the yard, clean the whole house and cook. Coming home from the mall, the food must be ready." Mama's orders are hard.
"But ma... Vicia can't cook.." isak Vicia is depressed.
"Mama doesn't want to know. Watch out for you if there's no food at the dinner table." threatened mom before they walked out of her room, leaving Vicia terrified.
"Yes Allah... Why could it be like this? Why were his mother and brothers so cruel to him now? Long ago, when there was papa, they were so sweet to him. But why do they now consider themselves to be servants? Why is it that after papa died they became evil to him?" crying Vicia sniffled. If only papa was still alive, of course papa would not allow himself to be persecuted like this.
Finally, despite sobbing, Vicia did everything her stepmom ordered. But fortunately there was still bi Minah who immediately took over all of Vicia's work, as usual.
"Already non. Enon just calm down, let auntie do it all," said the woman quickly. He pulled out his hape and called a number. "Yes, I need three people. Buruan came here!" he said while hanging up the phone. Before long, three friends came. Two women, and one was a man, who soon received instruction from bi Minah. Then in an instant, everyone began to work on Vicia's work.
Bi Minah is great. He always comes when Vicia needs him. His mother fired him the day after his father died.
O yes, mama is Vicia's stepmother, who is married to her father. Her stepmother had two daughters who were the same age as her. Her names are Lala and Erni. The three of them were very good. For some reason, ever since papa died, their nature turned very cruel to him.
"So..you're always beaten?" ask Andrea, in sms.
“Iya Ndre's... I don't know why they are so. Though they used to be very good." Vicia replied in sms.
"Prophey of beibh. I wanted to come to comfort you, but what a power, where I live is far from you. And I'm still in college, can't just skip it."
"Ga what Ndre. You have heard me, it makes me happy. Don't ever change, huh Ndre?"
"Yes, I promise I will love you."
Vicia stopped texnya. Then keep the hp well. Now, he can only connect with the internet world only through mobile phones. Because her laptop was damaged by Lala. The laptop is a relic from his father.
Andrea once offered to send Vicia money to buy a new laptop. Vicia refused.
"You won't accept my gift, will you?" ask Andrea in sms.
"Not so, Ndre. If my mama and my men knew I was buying a new laptop, they'd get suspicious and accuse me of stealing their money. And if I were to be frank that you sent me money, they might forbid me from having any contact with you. They don't want to see me happy, Ndre," Vicia said. Thankfully Andrea understood.
Such is. Secretly, Vicia and Andrea were in contact despite the long distance. Yup. They are LDR aka Long Distance Relationship. And usually, this relationship requires high trust and understanding. Sometimes, Vicia likes to be jealous if there are girls who come in the status of Andrea with spoiled sentences and teasing. And Andrea too. He likes to be upset if there is a guy whose thumbs are always attached to the status of Vicia or ask no hape girl blatantly. But thankfully they are loyal to the commitment to take care of each other's heart, feelings and love. Always believe that they have each other.
Until one day…
"What ma?" vicia asked in shock, when one night mama called her into the sitting room. There was Lala and Erni also sitting, while playing laptop.
"Yes, my mother has accepted Handoyo's proposal. You're now officially engaged to his son Denny."
"But ma... I. I don't know that guy…
“Later you will also know. That's not a problem.”
“Again, I'm still in school, ma..."
"You're over in a few years, aren't you?"
"But ma, I'm going to college."
"Don't argue, Vicia! Want to go to college everything! Cost from where? Papa you've made a lot of money, what?"
"But papa said, the coffee plantation in the back was prepared for my lecture..."
"Sorry, Vicia. The plantation is already on sale.”
“A...what? For what?”
“Yes to eat us everyday."
Vicia gulped. Suddenly he remembered another piece of land."There's still land that people work on, ma..."
"It's also been sold for all of you're schools."
Vicia's almost crazy. All of his father's estate had been sold without him knowing. Then he was forced to cancel college because he no longer had the cost. Not enough to get there, he also had to be engaged to someone he did not know...??
"Ma, why don't you ask my opinion first?" said the girl was weak.
"Ga needs. You must follow your mother's words if you want to survive."
"Congratulations? What do you mean, congratulations from what?" vicia asked, starting to panic. What does this have to do with Andrea, if she has to be engaged to someone else? Oh God, how broken Vicia's heart was.
