Two Husbands/New Life

The Part 36

Anin stared at the office building that stood upright towering in front of her. He hesitated to enter the building or not. For almost six months she has been living with her biological father Ken. And left the mother's family with her daddy and her sisters.

Anin smiled wryly recalling the beautiful memories with the warm family. He deliberately chose to stay with Papa Ken because he wanted to get to know more closely with the man he called the papa. In addition, Anin also wanted to know, how much attention and longing his new mommy family felt.

Unexpectedly, although Anin had already decided to stay with Papa Ken, her mommy contacted her once a week even if only briefly. He also made a video call with her. And her sisters are always enthusiastic when her mommy makes a video call to her. Until finally not talking to his mommy, he will even tell stories with his three sisters.

Anin actually wants to go back to live with her mommy and Daddy, but because she has already decided. Anin chooses to stay at Papa Ken's house. It's not that he was treated badly by Papa Ken's family, it's not that. But affection is never felt as great as the same affection felt from his Daddy.

Moreover, Daddy Jo until now still continues to transfer pocket money as usual in his account. And Daddy Jo often asked him the news despite just pleasantries, but it made Anin's heart warm. He was really sorry for deciding to get out of that grand mansion.

But he really felt bad about being in the middle of a family that already had four children. And Anin wouldn't bother them with being there. Although actually there is no objection from Daddy and his mommy.

Ken, his dad spends more time at his grandfather's estate office. He rarely spends time with himself. Anin tried to catch him. Not only that, papa Vanya's daughter also spends more time with her friends even not infrequently Vanya often steals time to go clumbing with her friends.

In fact, not infrequently, Anin often saw Vanya coming home the night drunk. And strangely, Papa Ken did not rebuke him, whether he knew it or not. Anin often advises Vanya who he calls his sister but not the sweet answer he hears, but the swearing, ridicule and clashing of Vanya who is not friendly at all.

That's why Anin was silent when she saw Vanya every day like that. After all, he had already tried to advise her. Sometimes Anin is like a stranger in that house. No family get-togethers, rarely eat together and it gets worse when his 'sister' was born a month ago. And her 'new' mom and dad are busy taking care of her baby sister.

Anin turned back to leave the building. He paused his intention to go in to meet his daddy. Because since childhood Anin often confided in his Daddy that.

Anin let out a heavy sigh, she turned around, undoing her intention to enter the building to meet the person who loved her.

"Non Anin!" Rian's exclaim made Anin turn towards the voice that called out to him.

"Om Rian." Anin answered enthusiastically meeting with her daddy confidant.

"How are you doing, non?" Ask Rian politely.

"Om Rian is ordinary. I'm good." Anin replied smiling sincerely.

"Non want to see Mr Jo?" Rian asked frowned, because the princess continued his boss was staying with his biological father Ken.

"Ah.. nope..no really.." Anin answered nervously while shaking her head by shaking her hands.

He didn't want people to know what he meant in the building.

"Ah, I accidentally passed here om, want to find a place of field work practice. Tasks from school?" Anin replied not lying.

His intention was indeed to find a place for PKL for his schoolwork and intend to talk to Jo asking for consideration. He wants to talk to Ken, but sees Ken's busyness who always comes home the night he gets home. Made Anin urung ask for his opinion.

Until either idea of where, he took the initiative to ask for Jo's opinion. While at Karina's mansion, Anin often meets Jo to ask for opinions and Jo always gets the best solution, maybe because Jo is a CEO and a businessman.

This time Anin hesitates to see her because she is afraid that Jo is busy. They do not have one roof, however. And Anin also had no idea about the current situation and conditions in their mansion. Is it good or bad? Although when he used to live there there were no significant problems that made them fight until it was heard throughout the mansion.

"What if we go in? I'll drop off non Anin." Freshman Rian.

"No need to, next time. It's almost afternoon. I have to go home before night." Anin immediately shook her head to reject Rian's offer and immediately ran away.

"Then let me take you!" Rian cried because Anin was running away.

"Thank you for that." Shouted Anin in the distance while waving his hand and immediately boarded the taxi that happened to be empty and passed in front of him.

Rian only smiled regretfully feeling like he had failed to do his job. But there is indeed something more urgent than his task now.

"Assynoltom..." Anin greeted Ken when he entered the house.

But there is no answer from inside the house that is always quiet. Anin spread both her shoulders.

"Auntie.."

"Sorry non, aunt just finished praying." Reply aunty felt guilty while scratching her non-itchy head.

Anin smiled, she should know, every time she came home was quiet like this. No one ever answered her greetings other than the housekeeper's aunt.

"No papa bi. Anin to the room first." Pamit Anin smiled as cheerfully as possible as she passed into her room on the second floor.

While passing through Vanya's room in front of her room, Vanya accidentally heard the sound of vomiting from inside Vanya's room. Anin felt anxious if something happened to Vanya, she brought her ears closer to the door of Vanya's room to make sure her hearing if Vanya's step-sister was okay.

While trying to steal the listen, Vanya's room was calmer. Anin flicked both of her shoulders indifferently, maybe she misheard earlier.Inner Anin went straight to her own room.

Two days after that day, while Anin was studying in her room there was a commotion downstairs that could be heard up to her room. Which of course was heard because Anin's room was not soundproof, only her papa's room was soundproof. Anin just silently listened even though she tried to be indifferent but the sound of screaming and snapping was heard up to Anin's room.

"Vanya, you're drunk again!" Jerk Ken who at that time he also just came home from work and changed clothes.

Intentions to take a drink in the kitchen but found his daughter had just come home almost late at night and drunkenness made Ken inflamed. This was the umpteenth time Ken scolded, rebuked and advised him.

But his daughter Vanya never heard of it. The evidence is not that he is changing but that every day is getting worse. His wife and little baby are currently visiting his parents' house to accompany Ken's mother.

"Oh papa. Papa just got home, hik.." Vanya answered her father's words with origin, with her body staggering but could again stand up even though not upright.

"You want to be what you are going to be. You're still in school." Shouted Ken full of emotions.

He approached his daughter who looked staggering while shaking her head in disbelief with the behavior of his daughter. Though he did not always not pay attention and always advised him, but somehow did not work on Vanya.

"Papa tumben attention, usually also busy work and work." Answer Vanya origin.

"Papa's gonna freeze your credit card if you don't change, too." Ken tried to help his daughter.

He wanted to beat up his wayward daughter, but he couldn't bear to play a hand. Just freeze credit cards or don't give away pocket money that Ken can do.

"What do you mean? If you want to be busy, work continues there. Don't take care of me, take care of papa's wife!" Shouted Vanya did not accept because he felt unfairly treated.

Plaques

The slap Ken made on his daughter's cheek couldn't control Ken's anger. It always ends like this if he tries to advise his daughter. If yesterday there was always his wife who broke their quarrels, but now no one is breaking Ken lost control and slapped his daughter's cheek.

"The bad father." The last shout made Anin immediately close his video call without saying goodbye.

And he immediately came out of his room and looked downstairs to see Vanya who immediately ran to his room by holding her cheek which was sick from the slap earlier. And Ken squeezed the fingers of his hand that were used to slap earlier and looked at him with a sorry look.

Brakes

The sound of the room door being slammed violently from inside and locked it. Anin who wanted so much to comfort him could only hang up her hand and pull back her hand.

Ken ran up to chase after Vanya, but when he arrived at the top stairs he was jolted to see Anin standing near the door of his room who could see the situation downstairs.

"You haven't slept, son?" Ken's pleasantries were misbehaved and felt guilty for his misbehavior seen by his other daughter.

He also felt guilty for Anin also for not paying attention to him, because of his busyness. However, maybe because of the good upbringing of his ex-wife, Anin looks fine and never neko-neko. Anin answered only with her head.

"Sleep! It's night. Sorry, Anin has to see something like this." Ken's suggestion with a look of remorse made Anin enter his room and Ken could only return to his room without being able to persuade or apologize. Maybe he'll see her early tomorrow.
