Invisible Heir
Strong Woman
When Arsa heard what Talita said, her heart was completely touched. He felt sorry for the girl in front of him. Talita has no father who can give her a decent life. Her mother, who was sick and now lies weakly in bed. All the burdens of life were on Talita's weak shoulders. Talita had to hear many rants and insults at a young age.
"At that time you said that you were in need of money while at the cafe. Then that money you used to buy your mother's medicine? And this is also why you're so eager to get a level 1 scholarship from college?" Arsa said. Finally Arsa can know and understand what Talita's true condition is.
"I... Hmmmm.. Anu's.. Aye." Yeah." Talita nodded slowly.
"Talita, you must have suffered a lot these past few years." Finally Arsa who knew the situation could not help but tell Talita. Arsa understands Talita's situation. I really feel empathy.
Arsa felt that the life path of her and Talita was almost the same. Arsa used to live only three lives with her mother and father. But his father died first. The path of life that Arsa lives is also not easy. But after seeing Talita, I became grateful. The burden of his life is not as borne by Talita. Arsa's mother is not as sick as Talita's. So that his mother can still work and the burden is not entirely on Arsa's shoulders. He is very lucky because he is the grandson of Andi Sudiryo.
"Bitter or not, heavy or not all of this is a way of life that I have to go through. I can't resist this fate." Talita smiled feeling the bitterness of life. They were silent, but a moment later, Talita returned.
" If it wasn't for my mother's request that I finish my college, I would have quit college and wanted to work" Talita said. Arsa hearing what Talita had just said really made her feel Iba. He could not imagine a young girl having to carry such a heavy burden.
"I'm really weak when compared to him." muttered arsa inwardly feeling her heart touched by Talita's state. I could not imagine how strong Talita's shoulder was to support the burden and feel the wound. Talita's life has been very heavy with the circumstances of his mother like that, plus all the insults from the people. Arsa really can't imagine any of that.
"No one will care about the poor in this city. Only the rich are respected" Arsa said muttering to himself. Talita has been through a lot of life's pressures are very heavy, so the circumstances forced her to become a girl who mature and behave wisely when compared to other girls.
"Talita, Believe. Everything's gonna be okay." Arsa can no longer be patient seeing the situation of her best friend like that. It looks serious. Although Talita's life is not as lucky as other girls out there, but he will be lucky because he has met Arsa kenandra.
"all right? I always hoped that was Arsa. " Talita looked up at the ceiling of her house. I know that making things all right is very difficult for him. It will take a lot of money to heal the mother. Unless Talita goes the wrong way. But Talita did not think to do all that. What he thinks is, after graduation, he will find a decent job to be able to make his mother healthy again as usual.
"Yes, don't talk about this anymore. I'm going to cook first." Talita smiles she tries to avoid the atmosphere that is really******-****** her heart.
While Talita is busy cooking, Arsa sits beside the sleeping Mother Talita. He thought that he could directly reveal his true identity. So she can give Talita a lot of money to help the girl solve her problems. But a moment later, Arsa recalls the last time she met Talita at the Cafe where the girl worked. Talita does not want to receive money for free from Arsa. They even returned all the money. Arsa was worried that if she gave Talita money, Talita would refuse again.
Not long thinking about the state of Talita, the girl came with 4 dishes that she brought.3 other menus and 1 bowl of soup. All of them are ordinary home cooking. But for Talita, the dish was already good enough. If it wasn't for Arsa being there, Talita wouldn't normally cook that much. Because he thinks it's very wasteful.
Talita delivered a bowl of soup to her mother's room. And then he went back to the dinner table.
"Arsa, try! " Talita smiled looking at the cuisine in front of her.
"okay." Arsa immediately took the food.
"Nob." After tasting the cuisine made by Talita, Arsa's expression was convincing. Talita would not shut her mouth and told Arsa.
"Arsa, why are you overreacting. This meal isn't very good." Talita.
"This food is delicious. I swear from the bottom of my heart. Your cooking is really delicious." Arsa said with a smile. Arsa is telling the truth. Although the cuisine is simple cuisine, Arsa can feel if Talita cuisine is very delicious.
"Someone who is married to you will be very lucky" Arsa said with a smile.
"Don't over-complicate me. With my family's condition like this, there will be no fools who will marry me" Talita said.
"Not necessarily, who knows if there's a real fool." Arsa replied with a smile.
"If you think my cooking is good, you can come and eat here often if you want." Talita offers to Arsa.
"Talita, we're just classmates. Wouldn't it leave a bad impression in the eyes of the people around here if I came here often for dinner? And also if I come to your house a lot, aren't you afraid people will think we're lovers? " Arya smiled after saying. As Talita listened to what Arsa said, a red tinge suddenly appeared on her cheek.
