morning as usual. Ella wakes up when the sun is not yet visible. He finished all the housework like a maid. From mopping the floor, washing clothes to cooking becomes a daily routine. He wanted to stop, but it would bring him even more torture and threats.
Once Ella did not do one job because she was late to wake up. He was shoveled into the back shed not even fed until late into the night.
It was cruel for Lena to treat him. Though the father had warned Lena to consider Ella as her own biological child since the beginning of their meeting. But apparently it was just a false promise.
Lena's a smart woman pretending. Hiding the rot behind a friendly and warm smile. Until the time when the father died. The fake skin peels off and then shows its original attitude.
With a sagging motion, Ella searched where the knives and other sharp items were located. Although cooking is his job. But Lena always keeps sharp objects to avoid things that are not desired.
All food items, such as chicken and meat, have been cut into small pieces. Likewise, the cooking spices that would have been peeled clean so Ella did not have a chance to hold a knife.
Instead of being discovered, Ella rushed to cook a dish according to Lena's request last night. When he finished, he walked back to take care of the laundry while running around in the backyard.
Ella longed for her life when her parents were alive. Father's mini-market effort is more than enough to meet the needs of the family. Ella never lacked anything including affection as well as attention.
But since the mother died after the father, life changed as it was in hell. Never mind to be free, Lena never even gave him a penny.
"Don't get too close to the side gate." Shouted Lena who was already awake. The ban was always thrown out when Ella would reach the gate. Lena doesn't want anyone to see how beautiful Ella really is.
"Yes." Yeah." Ella answered briefly as she walked in.
"Hurry to shower and prepare yourself." Imbuh Lena stared intently at Ella who just nodded and went into a room not far from there.
Just hurry up Ella cleaned herself while looking fixedly at the mirror. His skin looked white with long wavy hair. Since childhood the color of his hair is not black to the extent that the neighbors call Ella blasteran Indonesia-Dutch.
But that is a problem when the color of his blonde hair is combined with artificial black skin. It really makes it look so bad.
Not just school friends. The neighbors even sneered at Ella's appearance, which she thought had changed. They often advise to shine Ella's hair with black so that her dark skin does not look bad.
After taking a shower, Ella applied skin dye to all of her hands, legs and neck. His body was deliberately not given because it was covered by clothes.
Slowly his hand reached for the bottle Lena gave him yesterday. Forcibly, he painted a large birthmark onto his left cheek.
This time the dye was a little uncomfortable. Ella felt her facial skin thicken. Maybe because the texture is too rough so it causes such an effect.
"I hate to see my face." Eagles turned. He picked up a backpack and walked out of the room as time showed at half-eight.
Lena was waiting in the dining room. There is a plate containing rice and side dishes.
Lena shifted the plate roughly towards Ella who was still standing sculpting. Her manic stared at the food that looked like leftovers.
"Today you have class until twelve." Ella nodded and sat down. He ate the leftover rice Lena gave him.
"Am I in between?"
"Of course!"
"I promise I'll be home in time."
"You want to run away, huh!!" Jerk Lena with the eyeballs almost out.
"No."
"Why protest?! Anyway as usual, Mr. Kirman's round trip will take you. Even if you go to the grave, you have to report to me first! Hurry along! Sir Kirman is waiting!!"
Ella nodded obediently. He sped up his chewing while occasionally glancing towards Lena who was receiving a phone call. After finishing breakfast, do not forget Ella washing dirty dishes just left for college.
"Non Ella has breakfast?" Ask Mr. Kirman with a smile.
"It's Sir."
"Patience to Non." Ella smiled but her manic looks teary.
"It's Sir." Answer again.
"Mr cannot help. Lady Lena threatened to kill you and your family."
Mr. Kirman knows about the matchmaking plan that will be in the title in one month. She also knows that Ella does not want the marriage and is often treated badly by Lena.
Ella simply nodded without answering. Her bead stared back out the glass until the car arrived in front of the campus gate.
"Later wait here if you come home."
"Yes Sir. Thanks." After smiling awkwardly, Ella got out of the car. It looks like the atmosphere of the campus is quite crowded because this is the first day of the new students.
At first everything seemed normal. When Ella got out of the car. The look around focused on him.
The sneer immediately thrown in the heart also whispered. Ella's appearance attracted attention. Dark brown skin with blonde hair. It looks striking as if Ella is forcing herself to follow the trend.
"Good my eyes hurt." Ledeknya.
Ella herself tried to close her ears. He had gotten used to the sneer ever since Lena had him look bad. No one wants to come closer, let alone be friends.
Ella's step was immediately focused on the campus dena. He did not want to ask or intend to ask. After finding the location of the lecture room according to the department. He stepped back without caring about the surrounding gazes until someone hit him from behind.
Bruuuk!!!
Ella almost fell. He sat down and picked up his book, which was scattered without a care for the men who surrounded him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"Yes Brother." Ella answered briefly. He deliberately slowed down the movement of his hands so that the horde of boys around him left. But Ella stiffened when a hand helped her pick up a book.
"Now your book. I have to go." Ella received the stack of books with a slight look up. His salivary was instantly swallowed violently when he was a handsome figure before him. What is this creature? Inner Darrel said so.
The artificial birthmark on Ella's left cheek looks so real and disgusting. But insults can only get stuck in the esophagus. Nay warns Darrel about bullying an innocent man.
"Yes, thank you." Oh, my God is so handsome.
"Hm sorry yes. Come on." Darrel continued his steps while running small as several girls seemed to be chasing after him.
After getting the orders from Nay. This morning Darrel decided all his girlfriends unilaterally. Of course they do not want to accept even though Darrel is known as a delinquent has no future.
His personal life is kept neat because the head of the Lecturer knows the figure of Kai. Those women don't even care if Darrel's just a poor man. It can be guessed if the reason for attraction is physical and good looks Darrel that exceeds the reasonable limit.
"Where is he? Anyway I don't want to break up." Ella was silent while watching the girl named Agatha, the college idol who thirsts for praise. Perfection shown solely want to be recognized as the most popular girl.
"We're just looking for class, maybe he's already there." Agatha looked towards Ella. The three girls just walked past him.
