I'M NOT A PUPPET
Chapters 1.

This morning, for the umpteenth time I had to hear the same grunt again from the mouth of the woman who had the title of mother to me. Not the breakfast I get every time I want to go to work, but the same complaint. About how unlucky that woman gave birth to a daughter like me.

"That's it, ma'am, stop...!! it's still morning, and I'm already making a fuss like this" my sister said trying to stop my mother's insults at me.

"Don't ask mom to shut up Mila, isn't your sister that!!", continued mom don't want to lose with Mbak Mila's words. I rushed out of the room and said goodbye. This ear can not stand the feeling of always being made the object of conversation.

I just walked out of the house without saying goodbye. Let me just be more annoyed with you. He must know that his son also has a heart. It's free for that woman to give birth to me if every day I have to be constantly blamed.

The ringing of the cell phone shocked my daydream. I opened it and I read the incoming message from Eri. Apparently he was waiting at the bus stop. I rushed to run so as not to make him wait a long time. I wipe the rest of the teardrops that have since gone down without feeling.From a distance, Eri has been waiting on his motorbike. She can't let me know that I cried again this morning.

"You must have cried again, right, your eyes look swollen" asked Eri. The smallest thing will not escape his attention. Moreover, we have been dating since we were still in High School. Eri knows very well the story of my life. That is why he always tried to give so much spirit and love. And again I could only smile in response to a question from Eri.

"Let's walk quickly, later you can be late to college" said I switched the conversation while riding his motorbike. " When do we stay like this??. I'm tired of hiding from your family. If you want, I'll propose to you right now. We can stay in my house until I finish college", challenge Eri to me. "Finish your college, I can wait. Besides, it's not good if we get married, but it's still troubling for parents" I continued.

"But, you see for yourself, my mother is much better than your mother. You will definitely be your favorite daughter-in-law", continued Eri did not want to lose. I can only smile while closing my body to his back. My hands were tightly coiled in Eri's stomach. Usually he will be silent and focus on riding his motorcycle.I rest my head on his shoulder while continuing to tell stories. I don't think we've reached my place of work. I rushed down and kissed Eri's hand. Don't forget he told me to wait for him to pick up tonight.

I step my foot into the mall. This is where I work after graduating from High School. While my two brothers were in college, I had to settle for just getting a high school. Mom thought that I had spent a lot of money to pay for my treatment, so as much as possible I had to work immediately in order to replace it.

Just because since childhood in and out of the hospital, my mother always blamed me for causing her to lose a lot of jewelry and money. He was so angry with me that he brought up the cost

the treatment is continuous. Even every morning, don't forget he's always talking about her. I have to replace all the jewelry that my mother has sold, then she will forgive me.

Luckily, both my brother and my father didn't act like my mother. Dad even told me to go to college, but I refused. Let me work if it pleases my mother. I put the bag in my locker and change my uniform. My co-workers Sari and Ita haven't arrived yet. While waiting for them, I cleaned the floor and continued to open the booth.

"Sweet child, nich breakfast first, I've cooked a special fried rice for you", shouted Sari surprised me who was still in order.

Both of my friends are so understanding.

They used to bring food, probably because they knew I never had breakfast. After all, I always arrive early, so their job is sometimes taken over.

"Gee..it looks good. Thanks to Sari", I said as I received the lunch box and immediately ran to the back. Sari and Ita smiled at my behavior. This is what makes me feel at work in this mall. Moreover, getting excellent coworkers and attention like them.

It just so happens to be Saturday. And weekends like this are definitely very crowded stores. We even took turns for lunch. Today sales also exceeded the target. I can imagine that the three of us will definitely get a bonus later.

At 7pm I was able to get out of the mall.

It's tired, but I'm happy. With Ita and Sari, the three of us walked out. "That look,,

you've been picked up by your boy", said Sari, pushing my waist. "What sich mbak, just a regular time.!!, my heart. Eri waved her hand towards me. I approached him after saying goodbye to my two seniors. They knew Eri well, no wonder

if you see him pick me up like this.

"Where dear, you must be hungry, right, we eat first. I have ordered food for you" said Eri while pulling a chair for me to sit on.

I saw Eri had changed her clothes. He has finished college since then. This guy, I really love him. Only he can understand my feelings.

"Let's eat, I see you're getting thinner every day" Eri said as she thrust out a plate containing her ordered beef steak. "If you're too tired, you better quit your job. Or you'll be papa's secretary, let me arrange everything" added Eri. "Don't baby, I'm comfortable here. Ma'am Ita and Sari are also very good, after all my body was only this way, right?", answered me at last. Eri repeatedly offered me to quit my job.

But I always refused it.

Enough for me to be the woman he loves. I don't want to trouble his family either. They have been very kind and welcome to me.

Eri's family is rich, but his attitude and attitude are very commendable.

"Next week you can leave, right Nida?". I want to take you on a vacation to Bali. I also bought the ticket, said Eri suddenly.

"Why is this sudden, I'm not sure if I can apply for leave" I replied. Eri seemed to think hard, until finally he himself decided. "You take it easy, let me do the talking. You just prepare your belongings.We vacation a week in Bali", said Eri finally.

Eri is always full of surprises.He is a man who is not easy to guess. If you have a desire, it must be done. If so, I can only give in and obey his will. That's one of the reasons I fell in love with him.
