“Ma, I heard someone crying. I thought there was a kunti. Uh don't know...” Shinta spoke with a glance at Charlotte who had just joined the dining table with them. The woman silently smiled wryly. Sella, the two women look satisfied to have laughed at Charlotte's attitude last night.
Shinta finds out Charlotte cried last night when she just got home from her friend's house. He overheard the woman crying in the room. Of course, he immediately told Sella, his mother.
Charlotte only glanced at them at a glance, then sat down on the chair beside Shinta. He chose to ignore them and take their warm milk. Last night, the sound of her crying really made it out of the room. Hearing Shinta talk about herself, the woman must have caught her. Not knowing his shame, talking about his disgrace to others. A good step sister indeed.
“What are you crying for that man. Just let him go. If necessary, don't go back!” Susanto.
“Ckck, our dream ghost is just Fredy. There's nothing else. Is it baby?” Sella speaks softly but is full of subtle innuendos. Charlotte breathed into the air. Consider their words the wind.
It was common for him to get hurtful words from his family. No wonder Charlotte was already immune to their babbling. The two women seemed to not understand Charlotte's plight. They will be very happy if they have trouble. Sometimes, there is a desire to go away from them. Living alone independently. But in reality, he was bound by the marriage arranged by them. Sometimes there was still regret in his heart.
“Ma, B. Tomorrow is the holiday, can I go with my friends ?” shinta Pinta.
“Sure can be dear. Do as you please. Invite them to stop by the house sometime ya.” said Sella enthusiastically.
How not to be pleased. His beloved daughter had a friend from above. It makes their degrees rise in the eyes of people. It was always Shinta who was praised and made it good luck in the house. Shinta was treated very spoiled like a royal princess. It was very different from their attitude towards Charlotte.
“Good Ma.”
“You are indeed the most beautiful daughter of Mama.” Compliment Sella excessive.
“Still Ma.”
“I finished.” Charlotte stood up without touching any of her food. He was tired of the drama they were doing. Only a few days he was at home, as if the house was the reason he was saturated.
“Eat your breakfast. Later your husband thought, father does not feed you if you are sick.” Tegur Susanto's.
“I'm not hungry yah.” Charlotte ignored her father's words and left from there.
Charlotte is confused as to what to do. He was forbidden to leave the house. Many Xavier guards are guarding the house outside. He was locked in an iron cage.
Maybe if it was a golden cage, everything Charlotte needed would be fulfilled. He did not need to think about anything because everything was available and served by the waiter. But different from now. He cannot move freely, living with his evil brother and stepmother. He is always blamed for all the actions he takes. Everything went wrong for him.
Charlotte walked wherever she walked. He is lazy to do anything. All he wanted was to get out of this house and meet Xavier. It felt like scolding the man and hitting his stubborn head. But where he is he himself does not know.
Charlotte's steps stopped on the side of the house that is usually used to relax. It was connected to the path leading to the front yard. There's no one. It's one of Charlotte's favorite places to be alone. Charlotte was sitting on a chair made of mahogany. In front of it is a pond containing koi fish and other small fish. Above the pond was a lotus plant with flowers that bloomed beautifully. The gurgling sound of water from the upper shower calmed Charlotte's heart. He prefers to linger there rather than in a house that feels hell.
Someone's footsteps approached Charlotte from behind. He looked a little. I saw William coming. Charlotte rolled her eyeballs, so lazy if you have to serve Xavier's bodyguard.
“I'm looking for Miss.”
“What's looking for me! If it's not important, go. I want to be alone.” Get Charlotte a little upset.
“I just want to make sure Miss is in good shape. If my presence interrupts, I will leave. Excuse me Miss.” William bowed politely, then turned his body.
“Wait!”
Charlotte stood up and approached William. Charlotte's attitude was a little cold. He looked at William as if trying to find the man's fault. That makes William wrong.
“Give me.” Charlotte's hand was raised.
“Hah? What does Miss mean?” William did not understand.
“Mobile! I want to talk to my husband, if I use my own number, he will definitely reject it. So give me your phone and work with me!”
“I can't Miss. I will be punished by Mr.“
“Will not, trust me.”
“Stay cannot Miss.”
Charlotte grunted in annoyance. Xavier's bodyguard is difficult to persuade. “Then, call him now!”
“Sorry Miss, I can't. Sir can not be disturbed.”
“Heh! I'm his wife, he has to take a phone call from me. That wife should come first than the others!” charlotte doesn't want to lose.
William just silently bowed like a statue. Charlotte was tired of being alone to influence the man. He sighed in annoyance, then dropped his body in the chair.
“Am I wrong to miss my husband? Hiks...” Charlotte is back sobbing slowly.
