My beloved sister
Stepmom

POV ARSENIC

I stared at the wet mound in front of me, on the top side of the mound there was a tombstone that read my mother's name, yes today is the day of the funeral of my mother. For me today is the worst day of my life. Seeing my mother not breathing alone has made me so devastated, especially when I see the stiff body wrapped in white cloth, then buried on this mound of earth. I don't feel like it, but this is the reality I have to face, my mom is dead.

Mama died after battling cancer for about three years. No need to ask how I feel, I am very sad especially now that I am only 10 years old, and still in Primary School. At this young age, I had to lose the figure and affection of a mother. Surely I felt very sad and devastated, since yesterday my mother breathed her last breath, I have not even stopped crying. This body felt very difficult to move from the top of the navel, even though my father and relatives had repeatedly persuaded me. However, I still cried and roared on that mound of earth.

Until I finally realized, as long as I cry, nothing will change. This is the destiny that I have to live, from now on I have to get used to living alone with papa, even though it feels very heavy, but I always try to throw away my sadness, especially papa is very loving to me.

Over time, I began to get used to living without a mother, time went so fast that exactly 2 years old mama died, when I was already sitting on the bench of First High School, the time was running so fast that exactly 2 years old, papa brought a woman home and introduced her to me. The woman was so friendly, but what surprised me was when papa said he would marry the woman in order to replace the figure of the mother. I felt really angry, I didn't approve of papa's wishes and wanted to rebel. But, what can I do? At that time I was just a child who could only obey papa's will.

Finally he married the woman, who also had a son two years older than me, who was Ethan's sister. I admit that at first I was cold and tight to them because what was in my mind was that a stepmother was evil, and just wanted to get papa's property.

Papa is a well-known businessman, the owner of Bimantara Group who is engaged in real estate and hospitality. But, as time went on I could feel the affection of my mother. As for Ethan, ever since our parents got married, we were not familiar. Ethan's brother is very quiet, while I'm arguably a wayward child. But even so, my academic ability is not playing games, I have always been a class champion, even won the national Olympics.

Surely my parents were very proud of me, including my stepmom, she often gave me flattery, and affection like a real mother, even though I didn't like everything she did to me. For me what he's doing is fake, that's what's on my mind. Until I finally changed my mindset about my stepmom.

That woman really loves me. At that time, I was still in 3rd grade, I was indeed classified as an intelligent student with above average IQ ability. That's why there are some of my friends who always want to take advantage of my ability, by manipulating my paper with him, of course I do not accept to get into a fight with him, and the impact of my mother was called by the school. At that time, my mother desperately defended me until the school stopped suspending me.

Time also rolled until I entered the world of High School, on the first day I entered High School, I was late because I woke up late due to overnight fiddling with the computer, which had been my hobby since long ago. At that time, I was in orientation. I also had to get punishment from my upperclassman, my rebellious soul made me fight several times with the upperclassman who punished me, until suddenly when I had just finished my push-up sentence, while sitting on one of the front benches of the class, I was struck by a gentle pat on my shoulder. I raised my head and just at that moment in front of me was a beautiful, beautiful girl smiling at me.

"You're funny, you're so brave against upperclassmen."

Looking at the beauty of the girl, I just kept quiet. She was truly the most beautiful woman I had ever met, that very second, I felt something strange. Suddenly my heart was pounding so hard, my body was shaking, even just to answer the question I could not.

"Heiii kok diem, oh yes we have not been acquainted. Know me, Shanon," continued the girl who may feel strange when she saw me still glued. "Shanon?"

"Yes, Shanon."

Seriate...
