HATE Before LOVE
Father's Misunderstanding.

The task was finally completed. Boss allowed Elif and Teddy to go home, but still gave the order that both phones should remain active.

"Because I don't know when suddenly I can give you a task" he said of Elif. Elif's face showed a stifled look of annoyance. While Ardan grinned widely. Somehow something made Ardan so happy to prank the girl. Seeing him with a sour face, pouting, angry sometimes gives a strange sensation to him.

Elif and Teddy were also happy. He felt jealous of Teddy who could be longer with Elif, it means Teddy could longer enjoy the smell of Elif. Although Teddy has said many times that he can not smell the aroma that Ardan said.

On the way, as usual the two no one spoke anything else bothered to open the conversation just to drive away the silence. But it seems that both Elif and Teddy prefer to enjoy the silence rather than try to be friendly with each other.

"Why are you so brave to Mr. Ardan?" Teddy's voice was very sudden and very out of the habit to make Elif very surprised until almost he wanted to jump out of the car so shocked.

"You're asking me, sir?" Elif could not believe it.

"Yes, if you're human."

"Because I don't like it."

"Sir Ardan is your boss, you should have respected him."

"I respect him, but that doesn't mean I can't dislike him."

"All women are even very fond and infatuated with him."

"Perhaps because I'm not crazy, that's why I don't like Mr. Ardan." Ketus Elifs.

"Why do you really dislike Mr. Ardan?"

"Because Mr. Ardan threw away my bike."

"Bicycle?" Teddy's forehead wrinkled. But he remains focused on the steering and the roads they take. "ah! So that broken buturt bike is yours?"

"Yes!" Elif replied while grinning.

"So you're the girl Mr. Ardan helped and accused him of being the kidnapper?"

"Yes!"

"Well, you know, you're so lucky! Mr. Ardan usually doesn't accept such insults, Mr. Ardan will definitely sue for defamation and ensure you will be imprisoned for a long time." Teddy clucked while shaking his head.

Hearing what Teddy just said a little makes Elif's courage disappear.

"I've apologized to him about that."

"He's not an easy person to accept forgiveness."

Elif just snorted lazily discussing.

"Then, was it just because the butute bike was thrown away that you were so distasteful to Mr. Ardan?"

"Maybe it's a butut bike for you and Mr. Ardan that I'm sure could buy his bike factory..."

"Sir Ardan has indeed bought fifteen bicycle companies." Sela Teddy's. Make Elif shut up for a while then keep going.

"But, the butut bike I got with sacrifice, effort that wasn't easy."

"Then, why don't you ask Mr. Ardan to change your bike for a new one?"

"I'm not a beggar!"

"While you're in a state of urgency and need a lot of money, aren't you going to ask?"

"No! I am a nobody, all I have is self-worth. If I beg or do illicit work just to earn money by selling my self-esteem, I will not be able to defend myself."

Maybe his mind too. Rarely are there still people who think like him in this instant era. I think you're the right person for the job. You can ask for your wages for your parents' surgery and medical expenses later if you want. I'm sure Mr. Ardan will pay for it without hesitation.

The 'familiar' conversation between Elif and Teddy ended there, with no closing words.

***

"Dad not slept?" The elf approached Yanuar about to kiss his hand, but Yanuar brushed him off.

"Shameful!" Hardik Yanuar's. "What are you working for every day to come home to nights like this, get a man in, get out of a car, that guy doesn't even get out of his car."

"Dad, it's not like that." Said the Elif who was tired. "I told you, I work as a CEO secretary with a lot of rules."

"You think you can fool me? I also know what sort of secretarial duties are, where there are secretaries working from morning blind to almost midnight like this, huh!"

"But Yeah..." Elywanted Elif to explain how annoying and strange his boss was. But free, I won't care. Whatever the explanation Elif always ugly and wrong in the eyes of the father.

"You poisoned your sister, you made her argue with me, pretend to be a good sister. Not shameless!"

"Well, I'm sorry, but whatever you're thinking isn't right at all." Elif was really tired.

"Then explain why since work you always leave very early and come home always very late. And who's the guy who always drives you?"

"Will you believe my explanation? Will Dad listen to me? Even if I explained everything, Dad would still judge me wrong. Because Dad never liked me, didn't love me, maybe didn't consider me Dad's son!" The annoyed Elif raised his voice.

"What's this?" Zehra came out of the room, also with Adit. While rubbing his eyes he saw how Elif clenched his hands, holding himself back with all his might. The boy approached his brother. "What's wrong? Why are the night so noisy? Elif is still wearing work clothes."

"You just teach your daughter to find the right job. Don't let him be the mistress of a married man just for money."

"Enough!" Shouted Zehra.

Adit rubbed Elif's back. Trying to give patience.

"What's wrong with you anyway? Is Elif wrong with you? I was also confused until this moment that you always distinguish your children. Elif is your son too, Mas! Your flesh-blood! Just like Adit. They make no difference."

"Dad already know everything, I already know why Kak Elif quit college, why Kak Elif works. But Dad stays like this. I still hate Elif for no reason." Adit's voice vibrates. He endured the crying and was angry at his father.

While Yanuar remained standing there, without changing his expression in the slightest. There was no regret on his face. He still does not like his eldest son.

"Sister, ma'am, from this second Adit will never want to go to football school." Firm Adit.

"Adit..." Swishing Elif.

"What did you say?!" Yanuar glared at Adit. "It must be because you were affected by Elif right?"

"Open your eyes, your ears and your heart, Mom! Elif who keeps asking Adit to go to football school for you."

"Look right, Mom? A father who is always selfish thinks of himself when he knows the most wrong Dad. But always throw any blame at Sister Elif."

"Here you go, don't silence the problem." Pinta Elifs.

"Sister Elif is also better to go back to college, Kak, pursue the dreams and ideals of Brother. Don't sacrifice Big Brother's dreams just for Daddy who never appreciates Big Brother's sincerity."

"Adit! You should still go to football school!"

"No! If you want, Dad only goes to football school instead of work Dad just force others to follow his wishes. Or you just adopt a boy, I don't care at all." Adit stomped his foot back into the room by slamming the door shut.

"You're satisfied that Adit refused to go to football school?!" Yaneuar to the Elif. But Zehra stood in front of her daughter.

"Don't you blame Elif for what you've caused! I'm proud of Adit because he's finally against your selfishness. And I'm proud of Elif for his sincerity. If you still close your heart, I'll get my kids out of here!"

"You're threatening me?!"

"No, I warned you!"

"Mother, don't be like this, I'm sick." Elif's sigh, the tears from earlier had already escaped wetting his face. But Zehra was still with her emotions staring at Yanuar's face.

"If I die from this disease, it's all your fault!" Yanuar snapped at the Elif before finally entering the room and slamming the door.

Zehra immediately hugged the crying Elif. No more power to endure the pain of not being loved by his own father.
