"Emmanuel!" Liora waved her hand when Emmanuel had just walked out of his class. He pulled his lips to smile widely, though Emmanuel looked at him with a cynical look. Emmanuel walked towards Liora. There was no smile on the boy's face, as it was difficult to make the boy laugh. Emmanuel and Zelvin are equally cold and difficult to approach.
"We go straight home? Not going street food shopping? Long time ago when aunty your age, aunty if coming home like snack Odeng. Anyway it was delicious, it was second to none." asked Liora
"Descender?" asked Emmanuel astonished. This is the first time Emmanuel heard the name of the food commonly sold to street vendors.
Liora nodded, "Yes, the fish cake that is usually skewered on the stick. You've never tried it, have you? Later sometime Aunt buyin, Aunt who treat anyway if for you."
Emmanuel just cleared his throat to get back. "We're getting back on the bus?" tanyakanya.
Liora nodded, "You changed your mind huh? Would you like to have Mr Patrick picked up? Auntie can call Mr. Patrick."
Emmanuel shook his head. "Come home" he asked.
Liora nodded, she clasped the small hand and walked along with her chattering self. "If we want to take the bus, we have to wait at the stop. Wh why? Because yes the bus stops at the stop," said Liora. They were already at the stop, the stop was very crowded because of the hours of school.
"Emmanuel, sit here. You must be sore, if you take a bus ya gini, must wait, who is patient yes," said Liora while stroking Emmanuel's head Finally the bus came, everyone flocked to get on the bus. Liora leads Emmanuel to get into the bus and the bus seat is only one.
"Well, you're sitting here" Liora said.
"How much will Auntie continue?"
"Yes, if the chair runs out, you have to stand up" Liora replied.
Emmanuel raised his head, looking at Liora who had started to sweat. Only Liora stood alone, the others got seats. Emmanuel is very good at controlling his expression, he was very surprised by Liora's presence at school. He thought, Liora is just bullshit to make him happy. But no, the woman who became her stepmom kept her words.
Emmanuel has never felt this way. Zelvin was very strict with Emmanuel but never paid any attention. Even Emmanuel very rarely can interact with Zelvin. In the eyes of Emmanuel, Zelvin has his superhero.
Only Zelvin survives with her even though Erica, his Mommy leaves Emmanuel. Emmanuel is very smart to read the situation, he has been matured by circumstances that make him quite depressed at the age of a child.
Emmanuel hates meeting strangers, including Liora. Moreover, Liora often with Zelvin, she was afraid that Liora would take Zelvin's attention past her.
The bus stopped at their destination. Liora leads Emmanuel to get off the bus.
"Where is it?" ask Liora.
Emmanuel nodded, "Thank you."
Liora smiled and nodded, "If you want anything else, say yes to Auntie. Then we will do things you have never felt," he said.
Emmanuel just kept silent not answering Liora's words.
...****************...
BRUGH!
Zelvin kicked the table just as Liora had just opened the door. Liora and Emmanuel were very surprised by the voice, even more surprised by Zelvin's presence. Doesn't Zelvin work?
"Emmanuel! Where are you from?" asked Zelvin in a hostile tone
"Go back to school, Dad," Emmanuel replied.
"Daddy pick you up and you're not in school!" zelvin.
"He picked me up on the bus" replied Emmanuel. Emmanuel is Liora.
Zelvin looked at Liora and immediately clenched his hands.
Emmanuel walked away just like that, leaving Liora without saying goodbye. As for Liora, she did not dare to stare at the emotion-looking Zelvin. Those sharp eyes managed to make Liora want to leave this mansion.
Srrtt!
Zelvin pulled Liora's hand and stepped into Liora's room. After being in the room, Zelvin pushed Liora to the floor and closed the door very hard.
"I have remembered you, do not interfere in my affairs, Keanna! You're just a stranger, don't interfere!" zelvin.
Zelvin crouched down before Liora, he gripped Liora's cheek to look up to look at her. His nose was so red, Liora's tears kept falling.
"Don't expect you to have my wife's title, you can do as you please. I accepted this match because of my mother. Don't act as you please, because here you're just hitchhiking. Don't interfere in my affairs!"
"Sickness ..." great-grandson Liora. Both of his cheeks felt so sore because of Zelvin's grip that was too hard. Zelvin released a grip on Liora's cheek, he looked at Liora who wiped away her tears.
Zelvin released a grip on Liora's cheek, he looked at Liora who wiped away her tears.
"I don't want to marry Zelvin either. Mommy was with Daddy who forced me. I don't want to be Zelvin's wife, but this marriage ties me to your wife. I don't know what makes you hate me, I just want to be close to Emmanuel. That's it," said Liora, taking out all her chunks.
"This wedding, this isn't the wedding I want. I. I hurt someone's heart with this marriage, you..." Liora could not say anymore, she cried while covering her face.
Zelvin's emotions began to subside, he heard Liora's booming sobs in this room.
"I. I want to go to Aunt Krystal's house, I don't want to stay here" Liora asked and it made Zelvin angry again.
"Whoah! Very selfish of you, Liora. With you going to your Aunt mansion, you made my name look bad. While I continue to keep your good name in front of my family!" said Zelvin cynically.
Liora shook her head, "It's not so-"
"How come?!" snapped Zelvin Liora speechless, she did not dare to answer Zelvin's question.
Instantly silent, only the sobs of Liora's cries began to subside. "Sister Zelvin ..," called Liora in a quivering voice.
"Don't be angry, I'm afraid. I'm sorry for my mistake. I. I'm really sorry, " said Liora.
If Yuna and Jayden found out about this, they would probably be very disappointed and sad to see Liora who was always treated badly by Zelvin and maybe they would take Liora away from Zelvin.
Zelvin stood up and walked out of Liora's room, leaving the girl alone in the room.
Nightfall. Zelvin came out of his room, for some reason feeling a little worried about Liora's state. From the moment of the incident earlier this afternoon, Liora missed lunch and dinner, even earlier at breakfast Liora only ate a little. Zelvin opened the door to Liora's room, the first thing she saw was darkness. There was not the slightest bit of light illuminating Liora's room.
Zelvin narrowed his eyes, looking at Liora who had fallen asleep on the bed. Zelvin closed the door to Liora's room. However, he was surprised by the presence of Emmanuel who suddenly stood next to him. "Why Daddy?"
"Why?"
"You sleep with Daddy" said Emmanuel.
"Sleep itself. Don't spoil. You boys. There, go in the room and sleep!" zelvin said firmly.
Emmanuel sighed, his wish was very difficult for his Daddy to fulfill.
"Good night, Dad."
Zelvin just cleared his throat.
