IVONA: 1World 2Names
Chapter.27 Part of the Family

Ivona grew increasingly suspicious of William who kept staring at her as if without a blink.

"Why don't you wear one accessory, don't girls like it?" ask William.

Ivona was flabbergasted that she was confused by the intent of William discussing accessories with her. After all, what does it matter if Ivona wears accessories or not, is that a problem for her?

"I saw Vaya and all the girls in this school wearing various accessories such as earrings, bracelets, or watches, but you were so innocent without a single accessory" said William next.

Ivona only understood the meaning of the plain word William meant. He breathed a sigh of relief, as it turned out that William was only thinking about things that were not important to Ivona, and his concern about William hearing his conversation with Marcus was not proven. It felt enough to end this worthless talk, Ivona was about to leave the place.

William's voice stopped him. "Why are you working part-time?"

As Ivona paused her intentions, her steps came to a halt when her worries actually occurred. William heard what he was talking about with Marcus.

Ivona turned to William who looked confused. "What did you hear?" ask Ivona coldly.

William felt strange about Ivona's reaction which he thought was excessive. He only knows Ivona who wants to work part-time, and honestly it's not unusual in this country if a student wants to work part-time.

William is only perplexed, considering Ivona lives in Iswara's family home, how the family might let Ivona work part-time.

"Nothing, I just want to know why you have to work part-time while Iswara's family can afford all your needs" William replied.

"Is that your business?" ask Ivona cynically.

William smiled in response to Ivona's cold attitude. "Of course not. I just want to give you one piece of advice, don't forget to study" replied William calmly.

"Nothing to learn." After she said, Ivona just left.

Ivona's cold and mysterious attitude, made William very curious. Who the hell is that girl. Although the news is circulating that Ivona is a distant relative of the Iswara family, but what he sees is their relationship is more complicated than it really is.

Especially when looking at the attitude of Vaya and Ivona are very different. It doesn't reflect at all if Ivona and Vaya are really brothers.

Night at the Iswara family residence.

Ivona had just arrived home, when she saw a mother and daughter playing the piano. The owner of the body often sees scenes like this. Things that always make the owner of the body envious, but do not dare to voice his heart. Vaya with her sweet mouth has made Ivona—si the owner of body—stisih from the love and care of her family. In this house, Ivona is completely alone.

Not wanting to mourn his fate that was not considered, and make him more hurt, it would be better if he did not see everything. He decided to go straight to the room.

As he was just stepping up, Thomas who had been waiting for him worriedly called out to him. "Ivona" cried Thomas.

Thomas's call made the mother and daughter aware of Ivona's presence. The two spontaneously stared towards Ivona's entrance. Vaya who saw the gaze that was aimed at Ivona, instantly used her injured hand to retract the attention of Lady Iswara.

"Awww" cried Vaya suddenly.

Madam Iswara immediately turned to look at Vaya. "Why, Honey?" asked Lady Iswara attentively.

"My hands." Vaya held onto his injured hand.

Vaya nodded slowly.

Lady Iswara grabbed Vaya's aching hand, then rubbed it gently like a mother winning her injured daughter. From where she currently stands, Ivona can only stare at the gig masygul that always makes her heart torn. Her biological mother is more caring and loving to outsiders than she is a biological child.

Lord Iswara who was sitting near Thomas saw the awkward atmosphere in this room. He also said to melt the atmosphere. "Ivona, where have you been?" ask Mr. Iswara.

"There's a bit of business" Ivona replied straightforwardly.

"Do you go shopping, or do you take care of yourself?" ask Mr. Iswara again.

"But, you look beautiful even without makeup, dear," praised Mr. Iswara for pleasing Ivona.

Ivona was silent and did not respond. He knew all those words were mere pleasantries, because in fact all the attention of this family was only on Vaya.

"Excuse me, Mister. All his dinner is ready" one waiter reported.

"Alright, let's eat first," asked Mr. Iswara to everyone.

"Ivona, you also have to eat," asked Mr. Iswara specifically.

Ivona has lost her appetite since entering and seeing the mother and daughter show. That's why he makes excuses.

"You go first, I'll put my bag in my room" replied Ivona.

"Alright, don't be long, yeah. You must come down immediately to join us, "message Mr. Iswara.

Ivona nodded lazily. He really didn't want to be among those who were just pretending to be him. Ivona went straight to her room and left them.

Mr and Mrs Iswara, and their two children, went to the dinner table. For a moment the atmosphere turned silent, they only focused on the plate before him with their respective minds.

"Dad," call Vaya to distract Lord Iswara.

Lord Iswara looked up to see Vaya.

"So at school I got second place. Dad's coming, right, at the parent's meeting. I'll get an award" Vaya said excitedly.

"Of course" replied Mr. Iswara. However, despite knowing that Vaya is not his biological daughter, Mr. Iswara still loves Vaya very much. That he showed by not changing the slightest attention to Vaya.

The atmosphere began to melt, Mr and Mrs Iswara engaged in an interesting chat with Vaya. Of course the chat was still around the achievements of Vaya who was proud of the family. As for Thomas, he chose not to say anything from now on. His mood doesn't look so good. Thomas was still thinking about Ivona's attitude earlier, which made him feel uneasy. He wondered if Ivona thought she was an outsider and not part of the family, because Ivona had not yet come down from her room.

Lady Iswara who realized her son was riled up thinking of something told Thomas to eat immediately. "Eat Thomas, what are you waiting for" said Mrs Iswara.

"I'll wait for Ivona first, however she is part of this family so we have to wait for her to eat together" Thomas replied.

Mr and Mrs Iswara stare at Thomas, as if they were reminded that Ivona was their daughter as well. Part of the Iswara family.
