"Grandmother, get well soon. Chacha's lonely now. Chacha doesn't have a friend to talk to if Chacha is at home." Chacha spoke with a picture frame while crying.
Chacha put a picture frame on the table while listening to the knock on her door.
"Before a moment" Chacha said as he hurriedly walked towards the door.
"Tan-aunty."
"Yes, it's me" said Sarah reluctantly.
"What's the aunt?" chacha asked very carefully.
"There is no courtesy. Shouldn't you take me in first?"
"Ma-sorry aunt. Please come in."
Chacha took a deep breath. From childhood until adolescence as it is today, her stepmother never considered right whatever she did. In Sarah's eyes, Chacha was wrong, even if it was.
"Please sit aunty" said Chacha quietly.
"No need. I don't have much time to sit. I'm just here to talk to you about something."
"Speak what, auntie?"
"Can you just listen? Without asking. I'll talk" Sarah said in an annoyed tone.
"Sorry aunt."
"Just the sorry word you have. Always, sorry again and again. Just like your mama. Man's husband."
It feels, Chacha really wants to tear the mouth of his stepmom who when talking always mention about Mama Chacha. As if, the mistake was only on a mama Chacha.
"Yes, listen to what I want to say," said Sarah disperse the daydreams of Chacha.
Chacha just kept quiet. Silence while holding back the annoyance that was in his heart.
"I have an offer for you."
"Offer?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"What offer?"
"The offer to become a mistress in the house of a wealthy family."
Chacha's face suddenly changed. A feeling of shock enveloped his heart at this moment.
"I mean auntie?"
"I want you to replace Keke in marriage to Bastian."
"What!?" Chacha was really shocked. He couldn't hide that feeling so he spoke in a high tone.
"It doesn't have to be that way to respond to what I'm saying. Did it really surprise you with what I said just now?" sarah asked so upset.
"Sorry aunt, is aunt joking?"
Chacha's heart justifies what Sarah says. All this time, Sarah was very unhappy with Chacha. Let alone to talk, seeing Chacha Sarah was impressed very unwilling. That's why Chacha doesn't live in Aditya's family home. Never stay, play rarely.
"It's not so aunt, I mean, isn't Bastian Keke's girlfriend."
"Yes, Bastian is Keke's girlfriend. But that was before Bastian got into an accident and became a disabled man."
"Now, you have to replace Keke to marry Bastian, because Keke does not deserve to be with Bastian anymore" said Sarah again.
"Sorry aunt, I can't."
"What's!? Why can't you?"
"I don't want to be a substitute. I don't want to marry a man I don't love nor do I love me."
"Oh, you're more important to love than your grandmother's recovery."
"What does aunt mean?" chacha asked, getting anxious.
"none. I just want to tell you one thing, Chacha. If you refuse to marry Bastian, automatically, your grandmother's treatment will also stop. Because we wouldn't have any money if you hadn't married Bastian." Sarah spoke with a sly smile.
"Aunty threatened me?" ask Chacha annoyed.
"Oh, no. I'm not threatening you. What I said just now is a reality, not a threat."
Chacha. He had no words to fight Sarah. Her stepmother is famous for being a hard-hearted woman. Once he speaks, then the words will be realized.
"Think about what I'm saying, Chacha. If you don't want to regret it later in the day" Sarah said as she moved away from her place.
Chacha stops Sarah's steps when Sarah has reached the exit of the house.
"Aunty wait!"
Sarah smiled as she stopped her steps. He knew that his efforts would not be in vain. So far, Sarah knows what Chacha loves most. So, Sarah would be easier in forcing Chacha if it was about her grandmother.
"What's wrong?" sarah asked as she turned her body.
"I accept auntie on one condition."
"What's the condition?"
"Tante can't break a promise. Give the best treatment for grandma, so that grandma will recover quickly."
"good. I agree with those terms. Anything else?"
"No."
"Yes already if there isn't. I'll go first." Sarah resumed her steps, but only a few steps, she again stopped her steps and turned towards Chacha who was standing upright.
"Oh yeah, don't show your forced face to your papa if he comes to ask for your approval to marry Bastian. I don't want this plan to fail just because you're forced to."
"Yes, my aunt is calm."
"Good."
