Unkempt curly black hair, dull black skin. A round cheek. His legs are short. It looks very unkempt.
It's a really bad girl.
Kendrick looked at the girl and thought, how can there be a girl in this age still look so innocent. Without using powder and lip color. But Kendrick felt there was something behind this girl's innocence. Even though Kendrick's cutie can see that this girl is actually sweet.
"Thank you."
"Yes, can I go?" Asked the girl, her voice sounded smooth and melodious.
"How can I repay your kindness?"
"No, it doesn't matter. Just let me go. Because there's still something I have to do."
"At least tell me your name and where you live."
"No! You don't have to be like that. Thank you for enough." Said the girl half screaming in panic, even Kendrik looked at the girl's face and looked frightened.
"Kendrick. Call me Kend."
"Elizabeth Chloe's. Call me Eli."
"If one day you find me, you don't hesitate to call me. Again thank you Eli."
Eli nodded his head and smiled, his small lined teeth looking pure white, contrasting with the color of his skin. Eli was happy because for the first time a man was kind to him. Even he had regretted why he did not exchange phone numbers? But even that is not possible because actually Kend does not offer it. Finally Eli felt maybe Kend behaved like that because he already felt indebted.
Eli finally realized from his daydream, it was impossible for him to dream too high. Doesn't he deserve to be treated not well, even he feels strange if there are people who are good for him.
Elizabeth walks in the dark of the night. After returning home from work Elizabeth could not relax and sleep at home, she had to clean the house and study until morning. He has raised a lot of money to be able to continue school to college. This is the moment when Elizabeth's graduation exam must fight to be recognized. Actually he has a beautiful voice, only he can not be confident if he has to show his talent.
The drizzle of rain tonight is very long. Several times Elizabeth tried to avoid the splashes of passing cars as the wheels melted through the puddle. He had already arrived in front of the gate of his house, a house that was quite spacious and beautiful. Many beautiful flower plants from her mother's plants.
James Chloe's residence is his father, a long-retired veteran fighter. James is old, very fond of Elizabeth, only James is more afraid of his wife, added James is very far different age with his wife.
Elizabeth opened the gate and began walking into the courtyard, Eli walking on his tiptoe with his thumb pressed against the end of his shoe so as not to make a sound.
Elizabeth took out a spare key she kept in a flower pot. Insert the key and turn it to the right. I heard syara click.
Elizabeth turned the door handle and pushed it. The atmosphere was quite dark no lights were illuminating it. Elizabeth was still walking to settle the precipitate until the arrival of the family room lights were brightly lit, the lights were very dazzling to her eyes. One arm tried to cover the light beam. The silhouette of a person wearing brightly colored sleeping pajamas. His skin is white with a sharp nose, smooth cheeks plus his legs are level.
It turned out that her mother was looking at her with a cynical look. Her old age was no longer young but her beauty defeated all women her age even younger women. Luci Chloe stood on the last rung of the stairs. Luci Chloe is Elizabeth's mother.
"My mom..."
Without saying what Luci went down the stairs and pulled Elizabeth's hair into the bathroom, flushing her with cold water many times from the tip of the hair to the feet. Elizabeth could not breathe, her little mouth wide open for the sake of breathing air.
His two hands tried to grab Luci's hand and pleaded to stop the violence.
"Do you know your mistake?"
"Because Eli came home late. Mama please stop." Elizabeth said in tears. His papa James came out of his room hearing his daughter's cries, walking slowly, his body was not as strong as it used to be. James climbed the stairs and headed for his daughter's room which was more fittingly called the barn. The sound did not come from this room. James follows Elizabeth's crying voice, and finds his daughter tormented by his wife Luci.
Knowing James' arrival, Luci stops his actions and slams the dipper in the shower in front of James.
James pulled the body of his cold daughter out of the bathroom, gave her a dry towel and left her for a moment. Elizabeth dried her soaked body. And replace wet clothes with makeshift nightgowns. Then she sat down on the chair by the window of the room while drying her hair.
His eyes did not stop shedding tears. Sometimes he sounded from his mouth.
James enters his daughter's room and grabs the towel and dries her hair, James's eyes shed tears. James tried to hold it back so Eli wouldn't see it.
"Why is this pa?"
James stopped the movement of his hand, clenching the scabby towel tightly. He no longer knew what to say to Eli. Because the answer he gave all along was the truth and not a lie.
"If I was your daughter, why would I be treated differently?"
"Eli! Don't say that. You are my daughter."
"What about Eva and Diego? Why are they treated so special?"
"Because Diego's sick."
"Then Eva?"
"About Eva..because ..."
"Papa, come out of my room. Give me time to myself."
Many times the same question was asked to his father, but the answer was always the same. They say Eli is her biological daughter, but their treatment is different.
Elizabeth snorted in annoyance, herself quite immune to being treated like this. At least there's still his dad and Diego who loves him. It's just that Diego now more often stay in the hospital because of his asthma is very severe. Elizabethan and Diego are only one year apart Eli is the last child of the Chloe family.
Elizabeth looked at the darkness of the night with a fragile heart, if only she could not remember there were still two people who still loved her so much Eli would rather leave this house.
Elizabeth's family was not poor. Even Eva's first sister at the age of five years studying at a campus that is quite expensive. Even the only car owned by his father was controlled by Eva.
Contrary to what Elizabeth experienced. Elizabeth had to fight for her own school, and her needs were not even those of Luci Chloe or James Chloe.
Even sometimes Luci asks for money from his work to help Diego's medical expenses. Isn't this funny? Luci added that he often detailed Elizabrth's living expenses during his time in the year he was raised. Always like this. At the moment Eli doesn't know where his mistake lies. Diego always calms her down to be patient and says that she is tired and tired.
Tired? Tired of what, more worthy of saying the head of the household here is himself. Every day cooking and tidying up the house. Make sure everything goes well. What's wrong with her?
Thank you for leaving your mark. And you are always healthy and successful. 😘😘
