BYUUUURR....RCR....
I woke up from my shock and rubbed my face with a deep gasp. I saw who was in front of me, and it turned out that the guess was true.Yes, yes, it was Jeni's mother who was holding an empty bucket that had been filled with water that had been poured into my face just now.
"basas a lazy child at this hour you feel good to sleep, huh..?? useless son." (snapped by Jeni's mom)
I just silently heard Jeni's mother's insults towards me. Then Jeni's mother turned to step towards the outside of my room and accidentally arrived I stood up and my mouth said
"why ma'am?? is it because I'm not a mother's child??"
jeni's mother immediately stopped her steps.A moment she was silent and then turned to look at me.
"oh so you already know the truth?? good that it's better so you can know who you really are and where you are in this house, so I hope you're not acting like the boss of this house." (answered Jeni's mother with her arms crossed and eyes of anger)
I just stood there helplessly holding back the tears that started to fall apart and Jeni's mother turned and stepped out. then I rubbed my eyes because from 03:00 this morning I cried nonstop until I fell asleep from crying and I accidentally woke up when the sun was high.
and the clock showed me at 07:00 that I should have prepared breakfast for all of them but I didn't because I fell asleep. That's why Jeni's mom threw water on my face just now because I was neglecting my duties in this house. that is how I will always get bad treatment every day when I neglect my duties.
I took a deep breath and let out through my mouth.I tried to calm the heart that had been rumbling since.I wiped my tears and I put my feet out to do my duty. I saw in the house was deserted from the residents.Maybe my brother has gone to school and college.
I heard footsteps from the top of the stairs turned out to be steps from Jeni's mother and father who were walking together. up under the stairs my footsteps stopped when he saw me who was standing looking at my father and mother.then my father came to me who was standing at the kitchen door that was looking at him. then he looked at me with pity eyes.
then he raised his hand and stroked my head so gently, I was moved and carried away because after 20 years this time my father stroked my head. I wanted to feel like I was falling into my father's arms but I saw Jeni's mother didn't like her. Jeni's mom's gaze was as if telling me to leave from my father's presence because she didn't like me when I and dad were close. but I didn't mind because I wanted to enjoy the touch of my father that I've been missing. I don't care if after this I get punishment from Jeni's mother
mom: "pi come on, it's noon but you're missing the plane."
suddenly my father lowered his hand and turned towards Jeni's mother and replied with a nod.I saw them walking towards the main door. jeni's mother escorted her father's departure because today he will travel abroad for an entire month to get new investors to save his company. a few minutes later I heard my father's car rang indicating that my father had left and passed. Then I saw Jeni's mother re-entering the house.he looked at me cynically who was daydreaming.
"heh slacker son, quickly do all the housework.you are not here a princess, you are here just to be a babu." (hina Jeni's mother)
it hurts, it really hurts.before I knew the truth that it didn't really hurt this much, but after everything was accidentally revealed this morning. really it's like a dagger that stabs very sharp and deep. This is the reason why Jeni's mother hates me so much in this house.
"well ma'am." (my answer is short)
the clock has shown at 04.00 pm, and I just finished ironing the clothes of all the people of the house.I saw in the family room Jeni's mother was busy calling seriously. in my mind, maybe Jeni's mother was chatting with her father's business colleagues considering that the company is currently experiencing serious problems because it arrived that some of its shares were withdrawn by some investors.
jeni's mother is a housewife, but she has complete control over the company of the father.When the father left for duty out of town or out of the country then the genealogical mother who replaced the position of father in the company. so no wonder if the father's business colleagues are very familiar with Jeni's mother.
I went back to the kitchen and proceeded to prepare the ingredients I was going to cook for my mother and brother's dinner. arrived at the kitchen door Jeni's mother called me. And this time she did not yell at me.
"Starla, you don't have to cook today, because today we're going to eat out and we're going to go to the party, so you have to be ready and Jesi will give you a dress." (said Jeni's mother and passed)
I just kept quiet without answering anything from Jeni's mother's words, because honestly this is the first time Jeni's mother invited me with them to go to a party. honestly I was a little hesitant and suspicious why Jeni's mother suddenly said in low tones to me. Usually the cries of ridicule and insults that she always threw at me.
"ah maybe you've started to accept me." (my words dismissed the negative thoughts in my brain)
after finishing the shower I stepped into my room which was quite stuffy and there was only a plastic cabinet and a worn fan. a few moments later Jesi's sister came into my room and she threw a maroon dress at me with an unhappy face as if she was disgusted to see my face.
"your clothes, the work is troublesome for others continue.if not the mother who told me not to let me go into this stuffy room." (say then passed)
I can only keep quiet.Yes I am very afraid of my mother and brother.I am a very weak person cannot fight them. I'm afraid they're kicking me out and I don't know where to go if that happens. I wear clothes that kak jesi gave earlier. turns out this dress is very fitting and fits my body with a model skirt that is knee-length and arm model sabrina. and I continue to thin makeup thin my face. yes I do not have complete cosmetics that I can use. I only wear makeshift cosmetics that I buy from dime leftover from the shopping money. because indeed I rarely get pocket money from Jeni's father and mother.
I went to the cracked mirror in my room, I stood in front of the mirror.I saw the reflection of my face and the shape of my body.I felt I was beautiful in this maroon dress. it was only this time that I was wearing a nice dress and only this time also mother let me come to a party.
the clock shows at 07:00. I'm ready to go. I saw Jesi's mother and sister coming down the stairs. we only went three because Kira had her own show with her schoolmates considering tonight was Sunday night. Mother and sister jesi sat in the front seat with the position of Jesi's sister who was driving her car. I sat in the back seat alone.
on the way no one spoke. The atmosphere was immediately silent. and I felt like I was completely uncomfortable and raging as if God was signaling to me that something bad was going to happen to me.
after traveling for about 25 minutes, then mom called someone who knows who I also do not know.
"halooo... I will soon arrive at my destination." (mom said to the person on the phone).
I frowned at me, so many questions are in my brain right now.I see the road we are going through is very quiet and dark. it's not the city streets we should be going through considering we're going to a grand party.I'm starting to get a little suspicious but I don't dare to ask mom.
