The Love of Stepchildren

Chapter 44

At night, after work. Dinda is shocked by Axel's arrival at her home. He wanted to celebrate and deliver the clothes that Agus ordered to Dinda before he died.

"Axel, what are you doing here?" Dinda forgot how to be friendly to the man.

"I just came here for a moment, would like to deliver clothes from the late father for you," said Axel.

Before long, Laras came out of the house carrying a tray filled with drinks. Laras may not like Axel, but he's a guest, and the guest is a king who needs to be treated well.

"Drink the tea first," Baras put the glass on the table.

"How are you?" Stale base barrel.

"Well Mom, how's your mother and family?"

"Our news is good,"

"Where are you from Dinda?" Axel was curious because Dinda looked so neat as if she had just come home from work.

"I'm new from work" said Dinda lazily.

"Oh, so,"

"I go inside first yes, want to rest. Tired of it," Dinda went straight into the house.

There was something different about Dinda's attitude after a long time not meeting Axel, he became cold and a little unfriendly. Naturally, they lose each other's communication and hang their feelings without clarity.

Axel felt that the two of them had to meet and talk from heart to heart, if it really had to end, it should all end well. For that, Axel must find the right time to contact Dinda and invite her to meet somewhere.

***

Tomorrow, in the dining room. Laras interviews Dinda about her day at the boutique.

"Is your boss a good person?" Ask Laras.

"Yes, he's good. It's just a little chatty" said Dinda.

"Cerewet is natural, his name is also Boss. Surely he demands his employees to work well and diligently" continued Arip.

"Loh, why bring Daddy? Aren't we talking about Boss Dinda?" Arip was a little offended.

"Here you go, don't fight at the dinner table!" Dinda began to get emotional.

The couple often quarreled, but Dinda did not like it the most if they fought at mealtime. Besides being noisy, the quarrel was disturbing his appetite.

Naturally, Laras insinuated the husband. Post-bankrupt, the man chose to be unemployed and used their old-age savings. In fact, Arip treats Dinda as merchandise by matching up with rich men and extorting her money.

Actually Laras hates Arip, but they are a married couple. Laras tries to manage her anger so as not to aggravate their domestic relationship.

Dinda got off the public transport, she was just about to step into the boutique where she works and Axel arrived to hold her.

"You work here?" Ask Axel.

"yes" said Dinda stingy.

"Ep...I'd like to talk to you for a minute" Axel said.

"What about?" Ask Dinda.

"The clarity of our relationship. I want us to break up" Axel said with a heart.

"Good, I want to break up with you too. From now on, pretend we never knew each other,"

"You're mad at me?"

"No,"

"But why do you want me to act like that to you?"

"That's best for both of us. I'm sorry, I'm gonna go inside first,"

Dinda goes into the boutique, she ignores Axel who still wants to talk a lot with her.
