Money Or Honey
Episode 10: Kimberly Fake?

“So this, Kimberly imitation of it?”

Uhhh….!

Hiyola pegged in place. Feet that begin to hurt because of the size of the shoes of the Outsidings become even more painful. 

What did they say? Kimberly clone? So does that mean there's a real Kimberly?

Hiyola is still in a rage. He did not know the woman currently holding Violeta's hand, nor the five other four people who were in the room.

Violeta who was holding the hand of the woman beside her smiled proudly.

“How is my choice? Not too bad, is it?” Violeta smiled sweetly towards the woman beside her.

The woman who looked older than Violeta nodded in agreement. “Lumayan, for the price of 200 million.” His comments judge. “It's worth it that you can hook Clodio.” he added staring at Hiyola from foot to head.

Hiyola's body trembled, the air around her as if reduced making her lungs have to work twice as hard. His chest tightened, as if a knife had just pierced right into the heart. The woman mentioned the two hundred million as if calling Hiyola's self-esteem. The woman's eyes even showed how she judged Hiyola. Nasty, cheap, that's what Hiyola can read from the face of a shoulder-haired woman. 

Didn't Robert say it was the Violeta family? Then did the woman tell you all the embarrassing things about the 200 million Hiyola borrowed? 

If yes, then why should they invite him?

Slowly the hand that Hiyola hooked on Robert's arm loosened. The girl stared at the nyalang people who were inside the stately house, who was currently staring at her with a mocking laugh.

“Mom, aunty Luna, what are you doing?” roberth interrupted the conversation between his mother and the woman he called Aunty Luna. 

Robert himself did not know that the upcoming event is the family of Kimberly Robeca's mother. Kimberly's mother's first sister with her wife, Kimberly's mother's older sister; Aunty Luna with her son. Which of course they know that Hiyola is their daughter's replacement. 

Violeta smiled knotfully, then grabbed Hiyola's arm and brought her in regardless of Roberth who was still standing in the doorway. Hiyola who was still in shock and confusion just followed where Violeta took her.

“Hi everyone, please calm down. Introduce, this is Hiyola, he who replaced Kimberly while at the.”

Everyone started staring at Hiyola, they smiled even sneered. It turned out that these people were not those who were present at the wedding. 

“Wah, how much is aunt Vio? 200 million?” Asked a man who was the son of Aunty Luna. Violeta nodded and smiled in response.

“That means I can dong, if his contract and Roberth expire?” Violeta nodded back.

Apparently this meeting was just to satisfy the curiosity of the Kimberly Family family. They want to know who the woman is willing to marry a foreign man, only to be paid 200 million. 

“For me only, Vio.” A man sitting on a sofa in the corner. His wife who was sitting next to the man immediately grabbed her husband's shoulder.

 “Basic! Then where do I want you to throw it?”

The half-century-old man poked his wife's chin. “Only for snacks, dear.” Tempting.

Like in a lightning strike, Hiyola's water face turned mellow, her chest tight, her eyes even began to look glassy. His feelings are hurt. 

 Hiyola circulated her gaze throughout the room. Everyone looked at him like a auction item even worse, they treated him like a pela cur.

“What do you guys do?” the baritone voice from behind Hiyola's back shocked all of them. Robert himself has great respect for the Kimberly family, for those who took care of the girl he loved, as Kimberly's mother left the world. However, even their actions are not right. 

Robert walked over to Hiyola, he pulled Hiyola's hand which was very cold, about to take her away from there. However, once knocked down, Hiyola removed the hand from Robert's grasp.  His glazed net stared at Robert.

There was a bit of disappointment for the man. In his heart Hiyola blamed Robert for bringing him to this cursed place. 

But, Hiyola couldn't just leave. Everything that happens here has to be straightened out. Although not yet understood what happened, everyone should know that a Hiyola is not a cheap girl, she is not a weak girl that they can insult as they please. Although it cannot be denied the feeling is indeed painful. 

People won't know how we feel, because they were never us. 

Hiyola took a step forward, finding Violeta who was still standing not far from him. 

“What does all this mean, miss Violet?” hiyola asked with bulging eyes and a raised voice. 

Not only Violeta, Hiyola also stared at each of the people who were there, especially the old man who had just offered her as a snack.

 Hiyola no longer cared who she was talking to. Even if after this Violeta wants to get rid of her from the company she doesn't care.

Violeta was surprised to hear Hiyola's extremely loud voice in her ear. The woman advanced closer, she stroked along Hiyola's face line, “I just want to introduce you to my future family of ghosts, what's wrong?”

Hiyola closed her eyes, dampening the soaring emotions in her chest. 

“What's wrong? You guys bid me like an item, you think it's funny?” 

“Ckckc, I don't really like women who talk a lot.” Back the guy in the corner is making a sound.

Hiyola turned her gaze from Violeta towards the ugly, potbellied old man. Hiyola's jaw hardened, wanting to feel like she ran and delivered one punch right in the man's wide nose.

“Hei, listen yes om!”

“Ya, you! Do you think I like a bloated man like you?”

 The man looked at his stomach with an annoyed expression. Everyone in the room also laughed even the wife of the bloated man.

“Listen yes, ladies and gentlemen! I admit, I married Mr. Robert for money. But that doesn't mean you have the right to insult me! After all, here we are both stranded, so don't act like I'm a beggar here!” hiyola snapped with gnashed teeth, her hands even clenching. The emotions he had endured since at home finally exploded as well.

Everyone in the room was silent. Seeing the rampaging Hiyola, their perception instantly changed. Hiyola is not an ordinary girl

 as good as jidat merka hinah just like that.

“And you, mistress Violet. I appreciate you at this time just because you are the mother of Mr. Roberth, otherwise.” Hiyola hangs for a while his sentence.

Violet stared at Hiyola not liking it. “If it's okay? What are you going to?” snapped Violeta raised her face defiantly. 

Hitting, pulling hair and even tearing through Violeta's mouth is what Hiyola wants to do right now. Despite that, Hiyola kept her in custody.

Casually, Violeta again smiled sweetly and acted gracefully. “Listen Hiyola darling. This meeting, hmmm...” Violet seemed to think for a while,

“Ah, this meeting is just a reminder for you. Just as a reminder that you don't forget where you came from, and your role is just a fake Kimberly. And also, a warning that you don't like, what else put feelings on Roberth.”

“Mom! Why are you?” Robert stepped forward again. He pulled Violet to stop.

Violet touched her son's face, but Robert dodged. “You rest easy Rob, mommy just wants to commemorate Hiyola, so that when Kimberly comes, Hiyola is no longer surprised.” Obviously Violeta is soft.

“You're outrageous, mom!”

Seeing how Violeta controlled Robert, Hiyola knew she had no hope. Now she understood, the reason Robert had to marry her right then and there, and the reason why they chose her. All these disasters are due to one name, Kimberly.

"Who's Kimberly?" 

Everyone who heard seemed calm, but Robert was a little uncomfortable. 

"You don't need to know! Just know your duty." 

Hiyola was surprised not to play. Robert just snapped at her. The man did not even look at Hiyola.

“I told you, this wedding will be over when the time comes, so you don't have to worry, mom. I also can't possibly fall in love with Hiyola.”

Hiyola closed her eyes. Enough is enough, he can't take it anymore. Fearing that if you stand too long in this room, Hiyola will turn into a cold-blooded psychopath and finish off everyone in the room including Roberth.

“Enough!” all who had witnessed the debate of Robert and Violeta, turned to look at Hiyola.

“You're satisfied, right? I'll go right now. Oh yes, just info, I have absolutely no interest in having a relationship with all of you after this contract expires. Also, next time, before procrastinating on me, please explain a bit of the concept so I don't get too tangled up! Thank you all! Good night!”

Hiyola rushed out after finishing her words. Standing for a long time in the room made his mind tormented.

Robert saw Hiyola's unbalanced footsteps. He then rushed over to Hiyola. “Where are you going?” Clutching Hiyola's hand, stopping the girl's steps, however, Hiyola again threw her hand out.

“Bad men!” finally the word made it out of the lips of Hiyola's mouth. His eyes stared intently at the handsome face of Robert who could-can remain flat like that.

“Don't try to chase me, sir! Let me alone first!” funny indeed, but right now Hiyola knew that this insensitive man would definitely chase after her, therefore she had to say clearly. It could be crazy if Hiyola had to fight with Robert again.

***

Hiyola walked down the dark street, because Violeta's house was quite far from the city crowd. 

On the road, Hiyola could only see asphalt with dozens of large trees on its edges.

Hiyola walked bearing the burden of her sick heart, wanting to cry but she had nowhere to lean. All of his backrests are pretty far out of reach. Especially the father.

Wanting to feel it he shouted at the world, cursing the misfortune of life that he had to bear at such a young age. There was no father, no Miona, not even Alya's aunt. What a shame the fate of a girl like her. 

For a moment Hiyola thought, what if another girl who is stuck in a situation like her? What if the girl had no courage and could only cry?

“Basic those monsters!!!” nagel Hiyola. He had been walking for almost an hour but from earlier there was no sign he would reach the highway.

“Looks like I'm lost.” Hiyola. But he no longer cared. He just walked and kept moving forward. His legs had even been in a lot of pain due to the expensive High Heels he was wearing.

“Basic High Heels evil, you are just like your master! Bad guy!” hiyola shouted in the dark of the road. Irritatedly Hiyola let go of the High Heels, then turned around. 

His hand swung and then spun a few times. Imagining Violet in the head, Hiyola instantly let go of her hand. The shoes floated later…

Bugh…!

“Awww!”
